Wake Up

About Wake Up

Wake Up is a psychological adventure game that takes you into a confusing and mysterious dream world. Players must find a way to distinguish between reality and illusion before they are drawn into a nightmare with no way out.

Enter The Psychological Labyrinth Wake Up

Wake Up puts you in a quiet but unusual office. The mission is clear: observe carefully, find the absurd details and understand whether… you are dreaming or living in reality.

The fixed camera angle and classic controls are not outdated but intentional. The restriction in movement makes you feel controlled, like you are trapped in your own mind.

The surreal puzzles force you to think beyond normal logic. You are not just solving puzzles, you are gradually discovering the secrets of this world – and of yourself.

Guns appear – but not for fighting. You can use them to test whether you are dreaming or real. Dying in the dream means waking up. Dying in reality… is the end. And every time you put the gun to your head, you’ll feel your heart pounding harder than ever.

Intersection Between Fiction And Reality

Wake Up has a very special point: the game’s setting is taken from real life. The game was created at Castle Game Jam 2018 in Sweden’s Örebro Castle – and this castle itself appears in the game. That makes the feeling of playing more… unstable. As you walk down the hallway, you’ll wonder: are you in a game, or are you walking in a real place in real life?

Conclusion

Wake Up is a game that often makes players pause for a moment longer on the small details than the action. The tension isn’t always about the enemies – sometimes it’s about the realization that you’ve strayed too far into the realm of unreality, something GAVRIL and Bad Parenting explore in their own ways.
