Developer Jason Oda and publisher tinyBuild announce the emotional action-adventure launches on PC and Xbox One this June.
Waking Comes to PC and Xbox One on June 18th
Developer Jason Oda has announced the emotional rollercoaster action-adventure title Waking will be launching on June 18th for PC via Steam and Xbox One. Along with the announcement is a new trailer that introduces the unique tale that caters to each individual’s choices.
Waking is described as an emotional adventure, a journey of self reflection and remembrance. It combines third person exploration and real-world meditation. Players will travel through a winding path, to quest to wake from the dream-like world. Along the way you face a number of nightmarish situations that will provide a unique experience.
Waking sets to appeal to those who are fans of souls-like challenging combat, and includes action-RPG elements. But this title doesn’t quite fit the mould, having features such as Fear and Hope meter which you will need to balance. There is a dreamscape world to explore with caverns, crypts and even procedurally generated dungeons.
We got to preview the game last year, where our senior editor Castielle got to play the demo and describes it more “akin to an RPG lite”. As well as being “a game that I did not expect, and one I did not know I wanted…until I played it”. You can check out our full preview here.
Key Features:
-
A true meditative experience: Third-person exploration melds with guided meditation techniques to create a new type of experience at the intersection of reflection, emotion and memory.
-
A uniquely personal journey: Waking asks you to draw on your own experiences, fears and desires and bring them with you on your journey to wake. Your memories are your protectors, your companions and your weapons.
-
A world of dreams and nightmares: The Mindscape is a treacherous place, a shifting, twisted maze of shattered thoughts and errant memory.
-
A fight to survive. A fight to exist: Trapped within your dying mind you face a choice: give in to oblivion or fight for your existence. Use your memories and willpower to uncover the mystery of your dreaming, and return to the waking world.
