Wake Up
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
"Wake Up" is a first-person horror game in an abandoned town in the dead of night. The player awakens in the middle of the town square, disoriented and alone. The surrounding buildings are all boarded up and have long been abandoned. However, as the player tries to piece together what happened, they soon realize they are not alone.
A creature stalks the empty streets, a being that is unable to see but can hear the slightest sounds. It has become hyper-attuned to the player's movements, and the slightest misstep can lead to certain doom. The player must avoid and evade the creature's detection at all costs.
"Wake Up" aims to collect seven notes scattered throughout the town, each with a cryptic message hinting at something much darker. As the player progresses through the game and collects the notes, the creature becomes increasingly aggressive and difficult to avoid. Its unnerving presence is felt constantly as its haunting footsteps echo through the deserted streets.
To add to the game's intensity, the player cannot enter any of the buildings in the town, leaving them exposed and vulnerable to the creature's pursuit. The only refuge available is the occasional hiding spot scattered throughout the environment, but these are not guaranteed to keep the player safe.
With stunning graphics and a haunting soundtrack, "Wake Up" is a genuinely immersive horror game that will keep players on the edge of their seats. Will you be able to collect all seven notes and escape the town? Or will you succumb to the creature's deadly grasp and be trapped forever in this nightmare?

Random Question: How did you get a bunch of smaller youtubers and lets players to play your game? What did you do to promote your game and such?
Totally not asking this because I'm also making a short and sweet horror game that'd be cool to have some let play videos on lolThanks!
The pictures and itch/YouTube algorithms, I suppose. :o

Enjoyed the video. I’ll be sure to feature it in my video devlog. :)
Just had a fun time playing through this! Little frustrating at first but got that movement down I think and got it done!
Good job with making it and hoping for more in the future.
Also made a playthrough video too!

Gracias por jugar mi juego!
I liked it. Very creepy monster.
I’m glad you did. Spooky, for sure! :P
The monster looks creepy, and the game atmosphere looks fantastic!!!
Thanks for playing! ^_^
Cheers on a job well done! It was a short but extremely tense experience! I especially loved how good the world building and the sound design were. I am sharing my gameplay on my channel for those who are interested! :-)
Thanks for the boost in motivation to create a new horror game! :D
Short but pretty good. Definitely has slender type vibes, I bet slender is what inspired it Lol. Made a video on it.
Glad you enjoyed it! You are correct in your assumption. ;)
It is terrifying indeed but there's something unsettling with how the jumpscare animation was looping for a little bit while.
I hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback. I’ll make sure to keep it in mind for my next games! :D
Thanks for playing! Correct, I was going for the slender man vibes, as I enjoyed the concept back when it was popular. Thanks for the feedback on the fog. I’ll tweak it in the next update so others will have a more enjoyable experience! :)
Nice little indie horror. I love the atmosphere just a bit too heavy on the fog in my opinion. Here is my playthrough! Thanks!!
Thanks for taking the time to play!
I’m experimenting with the fog atm. I’ll be sure to consider your feedback when I do some last-minute updates. :)
