Awake

About

You play as Marc trapped in a relentless loop of survival during a frigid forest night. Every decision spirals into failure forcing you to restart and adapt. Resource management and environmental threats combine with a punishing difficulty curve. The minimalist visuals and tense audio design amplify the isolation as you battle to outlast the unending darkness. Made in 14 days during a narrative game jam Awake packs a surprising amount of atmospheric tension for its short development cycle. Players note the haunting sound design and cruel but fair challenge balance. Storyyeller Games uses stark visuals to create an oppressive mood that lingers despite the game’s brief runtime.
