SLEEP AWAKE is an immersive first-person psychedelic horror narrative experience that explores the eerie boundary between sleep and death. Created by Blumhouse Games and led by Cory Davis (Spec Ops: The Line) and Robin Finck (Nine Inch Nails), this game blurs the lines between reality and imagination in a world where sleep could mean extinction.
Gameplay
In SLEEP AWAKE, you play as Katja, navigating a nightmarish world where staying awake is the only way to survive. The gameplay combines exploration, puzzle-solving, and stealth mechanics as you evade the dangerous followers of depraved death cults. Hand-crafted environments and a striking visual style immerse you in a surreal, ever-shifting reality where perception is unreliable.

As Katja, you must uncover the truth behind The HUSH while battling the horrors of a world on the brink of collapse.
