About the Game

A fast-paced, action-packed top-down shooter blending the chaos of Doom and Hotline Miami with a deep narrative twist.

Step into the chaos of Wake Up Kid, a brutal 2.5D top-down shooter where you control Bláinn, a mischievous demon banished from Hell. To survive, he strikes a deal with Timmy, a bullied kid, helping him fight back—inside the dreamworlds of his tormentors. Blast through surreal nightmares, unleash demonic powers, and uncover a sinister conspiracy hiding deep in the underworld.

🔹 Fast-Paced Combat – Chain together melee strikes, gunplay, and supernatural abilities in fluid, high-speed battles.

🔹 Dream-Hopping Missions – Infiltrate bullies' homes, invade their subconscious, and battle the demons controlling them.

🔹 Retro-Inspired Visuals – PS1/PS2 low-poly models with pixelated textures, giving the game a nostalgic, gritty feel.

🔹 Deep Narrative & Dark Humor – A story about bullying, redemption, and demons (both real and metaphorical).

🔹 Challenging Boss Battles – Face off against each bully’s nightmare form before confronting the ultimate evil.

We're launching a free demo along with our Steam page, so wishlist Wake Up Kid now and be among the first to experience the madness.
