When more was revealed earlier this year, Sleep Awake looked like it was shaping up to be one of the years big horror titles. Whilst the title isn’t going to release in time for spooky season, developer Eyes Out have confirmed the game will still release this year, on December 2 2025. Originally, the title had been pegged for a 2026 launch.
Sleep Awake blends FMV sequences with first-person to create a thriller narrative experience that is full of psychedelic trips, exploring the realms between sleep and death. In the last known city on earth, everyone is trying to stay awake to avoid a mysterious disappearance.
