After experiencing what this game has to offer, I am inclined to, as a horror indie game expert myself, that this game checks off all of the marks on my checklist. I must say that this is indeed so called "peak".
Pros: very strong vibe. Especially the soundtrack. I really liked it. The house is big and interesting, I enjoyed exploring it. And by the way, the interaction with the laptop hooked me, the game really drives me back and forth and there are mini goals. Answer the quiz questions a little, and then go check who's knocking on my door.
Cons: the red-eyed faggot scared me only once LOL. after that he wasn't scary at all, although I would have liked it(((
I didn't really like walking around the big house in the dark. At least a little light could have been made, for example in those rooms where there shouldn't have been a screamer. Otherwise I spent most of the game just poking around the corners((( trying to find the room needed according to the plot.
It would have been possible to make some of the rooms dark and some light. Then it would have been even scarier. But I don't deny that this is just my personal perception.
Well, and the main minus: the game is short(( I would really like to enjoy the process of the game as long as possible.
And despite my mini-criticism, I really liked the game! Visuals, vibe and fear - everything is very cool and top notch. I wish the creator every success.
I loved it! great game, fun and interesting. It's always interesting to see the different takes on this trope of "late night snack", great short game :D
Scared the living hell out of me ahahaha the idea of something being there but the character you are playing is not acknowledging it is so cool! Also if u ever add Greek I am playing it again 100% XD
This game was really enjoyable and fun I genuinely enjoyed it, it was fun and scary made me jump alot anyways good job and cant wait to see what else you create!
"Are You Awake" is a gripping psychological horror experience that dives deep into the mind of a man suffering from extreme exhaustion. The story revolves around a character who works relentlessly, unable to sleep, and begins to descend into a terrifying world of hallucinations.
One of the most memorable aspects of the game is the sheer terror it instills. The zombie that breaks into your home is absolutely horrifying — easily one of the most terrifying moments I’ve experienced in a horror game. The jump scares are expertly timed; the first one caught me completely off guard and actually made me tremble. It sets the tone for the rest of the experience, keeping you on edge at all times.
Visually, Are You Awake delivers solid graphics that enhance the atmosphere, making the hallucinations and dark environments even more immersive. The gameplay is tight and responsive, striking a good balance between exploration, survival, and psychological tension.
If you enjoy horror games that mess with your mind and keep your heart racing, this one is absolutely worth trying. Just... don’t play it alone in the dark.
I really enjoyed this game! Possibly my favorite itch.io game. Felt like the graphics were right where they needed to be and it was the perfect length with some jumpscares along the way. Here is my playthrough:
Just a quick bug report - it's possible to get permanently stuck by trying to walk under the chandelier in front of the TV 😅 I got stuck every time I tried (while going to turn off the TV)
