About the Game

Immerse. Adapt. Survive.

The Wake is a groundbreaking Virtual Reality game coming soon to the HTC Vive. Engage in hand-to-hand melee combat in a room-scale survival game unlike anything you have seen or felt. Follow characters through a narrative that will play out in real-time, with professionally motion captured actors and actresses interacting with the player between escalating waves of mutating zombies. To survive, you must use every resource at your disposal, from bare fists to an array of bats, axes, bladed weapons, explosives, guns, and even a 2-handed chainsaw.
