About

You've woken up late - or have you woken up at all? Find your way through 5 levels set in different dreamy versions of your own apartment, desperately hunting for your stuff before you miss... whatever it is you're supposed to make it to.

Expect lovingly made 3D art, physics that gave up on reality, a cat doing cat things (mostly meowing), and a very large duck with sometimes unsettling red eyes judging your every jump. Oh, and you're probably not actually awake. Dream within a dream within a dream - can you actually wake up?

That was really fun experience! The amount of stuff you guys managed to squeeze out of this concept is truly impressive. Really liked the weird platforming level built out of spinning furniture, that was fun <3 I think level with multiple keys (third one...?) could use UI indicator of how many needs to be collected. Amazing job everyone!

Nice game! I really liked the narrative twist and the slightly trippy universe that renews itself with each level. The small tutorial integrated into the task list is a clever idea. The game feels polished overall. Good work!
