Sleeping Oli

Alone, you are nothing. She is your shield, your sword. Apart, you are nothing but prey. In this psychological horror action-adventure, survival depends entirely on your bond. No one will take her away from you. No one.

About the Game

She is all you have, but she won’t wake up. Why won’t she wake up?

You have fallen into a world Somewhere Beyond. Dangerous shadows stalk your every move. Your saving light? Your best friend, Olivia, who has followed you here. She is mysteriously unconscious when you find her, but as long as you remain together, you have a chance to survive.

Your sword and shield are born from your bond. Stick near to Olivia to access them and fight back the shadows. Stray too far from her protection and the shadows will instantly kill you if they catch you. 

Stay in the safety zone for too long and your own darkness will seal Olivia away. You’ll have to fight your way through difficult enemies to get her back. 

The world looks different when you are near Olivia. A hidden path might only be visible when you are alone, while a key object might only appear when you are together. Use that to your advantage to solve dynamic puzzles, and find your way out of this nightmare.

Key Features:

  • Unique, companion-based gameplay

  • A bond that empowers you: Olivia isn't a burden to be protected, but the source of your strength.

  • A beautiful, hand-drawn world with an eerie atmosphere

  • Choose your playstyle: Evade the shadows in tense survival horror, or fight them head-on in fast-paced action combat.

  • An emotional story to tie it all together

Save Olivia. Save yourself. Save each other.
