Reception

Sleep Awake is an atmospheric and mysterious game in which dreams and reality intertwine. With minimalist, hypnotic graphics, a subtle soundtrack and creative puzzles, the game offers a unique experience that you will discover slowly and will stay with you for a long time

A brief, bizarre, and brilliant trip. SLEEP AWAKE offers a mind-bending story that leaves you dizzy and lightheaded, pure, simple magic.

Sleep Awake is more of a collection of music videos with beautiful visuals and pleasant sound, presented as a pretentious walking simulator about a dying world. The developers would have been better off stopping there.

With the introduction being a bit of a puzzle itself with what it expected me to accomplish, it lacked any true immersion. As I consider immersion to be one of the most important aspects in the horror genre, it made Sleep Awake feel incredibly lackluster overall.

For the price, it feels a bit steep, and you don’t really get a lot out of it since it runs about five to six hours and has very thin gameplay, while leaning hard on the surrealist horror imagery.
