About the Game

What if your worst nightmares didn’t end when you opened your eyes?

After the sudden loss of his wife, Steve is consumed by insomnia. Days blur into nights as reality begins to unravel around him. Haunted by twisted visions and shadowy figures, he finds himself trapped in a waking nightmare where nothing is as it seems.

Waking Dreams is a psychological survival horror game that blends atmospheric exploration, intense suspense, resource management and combat. Navigate threatening environments, solve puzzles, and piece together the truth behind Steve’s fractured mind. As he confronts the darkest corners of his past, the line between dream and reality begins to slip.
