So scary! This is a work of art.
Hey Woyboy, another game well done that scared me like crazy.
This game was amazing look into a insomnia nightmare, scared me more than a few times
Acabei de jogar Are you Awake? e preciso dizer: acho que nunca mais vou dormir depois dessa experiência. 😱
Você conseguiu criar um jogo com uma atmosfera tão sufocante e assustadora que me marcou profundamente — foi simplesmente a experiência mais aterrorizante que tive este ano. 👏
Parabéns pelo trabalho incrível! 🎮 Obrigada por entregar algo tão único, imersivo e intenso. Valeu, Dev! 🙌
Awesome game! It gave me so many jumpscares, it was genuinely scary. By the way, I really loved the graphics they look great!
Gameplay PT-BR
I hade a good time. Hope to check out more
Asleep... Am I? I can't sleep... Who are you? WHY CAN'T I SLEEP.
This game hit home, I've had issues with sleep since I was a kid. Staying awake for days on wondering If what I'm hearing or seeing is true, and what is a lie.
This was a simple experience, however, showed the idea of what it's like to walk in the shoes of an insomniac, who's been awake for a longer period of time.
I AM TERRIFIED of mannequins, but they felt more comforting, as if guiding me around the house, or having my back against the demon in the living room.
If there were ever to be an update or a full fledged game, I would've liked to see different outcomes. If what we decided on the test determines what environment changes around us. Otherwise, this was fun!

Your game was really fun! I got jumpscared so it's a 10/10!
- I enjoyed seeing our character see stranger and stranger things with his insomnia, it was terrifying, especially towards the end of the game.
Great Game! Actually got me quite a few times hehe

Insomnia Simulator - Am I Seeing Things?
This one really got me! I liked it A LOT, that mannequin party was a trip lolThe game was so eerie that I felt uncomfortable with the mannequins.
Mannn, this one is intense and creepy! This gave me one of the worst jumpscares of my life too LOL. Looking forward to seeing what you create in the future!
It was a good game! :) just wished there was more 😅
really liked this, but I just wanted more. It gets so cool when you go to that other place and things start getting trippy—I just wish there had been more of that!
Keep up the great work, though. I'm looking forward to your next game, and thank you for this one!
Fun short game. Definitely made me jump a good few times and had me on edge to the point I checked if my door was actually locked...
Game 3 in my 3 random games video:
I think the game was really great, i truly enjoyed it and the game most definitely kept me at the edge of my seat when things started getting real. It got out some really great scares from me and just the entire atmosphere of the game had me not wanting to continue. I would love to see another game like this but much longer and with more lore. my only critique for the game was lack of length i just didn't get enough. i want more of this game or another game like this where I'm on edge and wanting to see what's next. Overall very great game and i definitely recommend giving this a try. to the dev, keep up the good work and God bless you.
Game length: 10-15 minutes
