With all the hubbub from the Indie Horror Showcase, Blumhouse Games and developer EYES OUT announced a December 2 release date for their psychedelic horror adventure title SLEEP AWAKE. Coming to PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series, the release date was revealed in a new trailer that debuted during the Galaxies Autumn Showcase.
SLEEP AWAKE is an immersive first-person psychedelic horror narrative experience that explores the realm between sleep and death. In a desperate attempt to remain awake, the denizens of the last known city on Earth are reaching a panic crisis of reckless experiments in their effort to avoid The HUSH, the inexplicable disappearance of those who sleep. As Katja, players must survive the devotees of various depraved death cults and desperately try to stay awake. Solve the puzzles of this mysterious world in an attempt to shatter the horrors of the past.
Players will explore and solve the puzzles of a distorted reality while surviving enemy encounters through a combination of stealth, survival, and chase sequences. The game will also feature an “arresting audio experience” from EYES OUT co-founder Robin Finck of Nine Inch Nails.
And if you’re keen on checking the game out ahead of its release, there’s the demo that’s available now on Steam.

LKA Delves Deeper Into the Horror of ‘When Sirens Fall Silent’ in New Presentation [Video]
During the Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition, publisher Wired Productions and developer LKA released a three-minute developer presentation for psychological horror game When Sirens Fall Silent, offering players a deeper look into the mystery, characters, and unsettling world of the upcoming psychological thriller.
Following two creative story-based cinematic reveals (which you can watch here and here) that introduced the game’s atmosphere, themes, and central mystery, LKA Founder and Director Luca Dalcò guides viewers further into the world of the forgotten people, revealing more of what awaits players as they uncover the truth behind a series of kidnappings and murders.
From the creators of Martha is Dead, When Sirens Fall Silent casts players as Mila, a policewoman in early 1990s Rome, Italy. Haunted by a past she’s desperate to escape, Mila is thrust into a high-profile case of kidnappings and murders. As the investigation unravels, you must not only save her from herself, but also from being consumed by the violence, mystery and confusion.
Featuring a branching, multi-layered narrative dialogue system, with a huge focus on verbal and emotional interaction, investigation and subsequent choices, players will be faced with difficult real-world topics. LKA aims to “pull no punches” with its story, but also hints at a few surprises along the way.
When Sirens Fall Silent is currently in development for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.
