This game was so beautiful and strong; as a brazilian (where we have a president who calls the 21 years of military regime a "revolution", and defends all the violence and censure that occurred in that period), I can only say "thank you". You helped me - even if just for a moment - be less afraid of everything.
On the last day - sorry, the first day - when there wasn't an alarm on waking up option I was so, so happy.
This is a beautiful, emotional game and truly a master piece. It had such an original design and was very thought provoking. The sounds and particularly the song at the end was very immersive. Good game, very good game.
I'm a shithead for my comment, because I couldn't get it to play when I needed to show it off but I really appreciate this artwork. I come back to it often.
This game is an paramount example of ludonarrative harmony! You didn't just tell the story via the words, but through the game mechanics as well. I've been able to feel the distress of the main protagonist, but also their hope in the end. It's been such a wonderful, strong experience. Thank you very much for it, proudly I wrote a praising article about it and also uploaded a gameplay video as well - but especially I want to state that it's my pleasure to say that we included your game in our GOTY 2017 list. <3 Keep up your great work, you are such skilled game developers and storytellers! :)
Thanks for your kind words and that inclusion as one of your GOTY 2017, that's pure fuel for our team! We are currently working on Effie, a more conventional game for PS4/PC but we really want to work and improve the Wake Up formula in the future. Was a gamejam experiment and player feedback was awesome.
I really think it's some narrative masterpiece, not just for a jam game! I was so immersed by your storytelling, and I can't wait to see with what you'll come up next! <3 Best of luck with "Effne", I hope it'll be a huge success for you all. :)
This game is amazing because it conveys a message with only words. You did an amazing job Inverge. You got me choked up at the end. :) Can't wait to see what you do next!
We are pretty happy with the game and a lot of people seems interested in the idea. Maybe one of our future projects is new game with this kind of gameplay.
Our original idea was a game with multiple endings depending of your choices (rebel ending, don't rebel ending, neutral ending), but sadly with only 48h of development we choose to work only with the rebel ending for the game jam theme. Maybe in a future version.

It was a bit slow in the middle but got really emotional at the end. Great storytelling with very simple tools!

1984 but less horrifying. It was quite chilling and I really liked it! It was well done and I was really scared for the protag at some times.

So powerful. I felt goosebumps at the end.

Well done guys !
Thank you so much! We also really love the final result! :)
I lowkey cried once the powerful music kicked in

An amazing game would love to see this become a better and more full game with more endings and options keep up the great work!!

Excuse me, is there an ending when you don't rebel or do you have to rebel eventually?

Ok, I'll stay tuned
Really liked this. Kind of like a mix between A Dark Room and Papers Please.
