About the Game



A girl who never wakes up. She has been fighting monsters in her dreams...

"NeverAwake" is a nightmarish twin-stick shooter with a unique worldview and original game rules.

About NeverAwake

"NeverAwake" has a unique worldview with its high quality hand-drawn graphics and beautiful animations.
The enemies are not demons...but vegetables and dentists that the girl hates. Things and creatures that everyone has had a bad experience with at one time or another become monsters and attack the protagonist "Rem".


With over 80 levels, dozens of bosses, and a unique gameplay system that allows players to retry many levels, NeverAwake is suitable for both beginner shooters and experts.
