Waking is an emotional action / adventure game five years in the
making. Developed by Jason Oda and a small freelance team, the
game is the latest highly ambitious project partially funded by
Microsoft via the ID@Xbox program.
Locked in the darkness of a coma, you dream. In the recesses of
your mind, voices call you home, beckoning you towards the light
and the void beyond. But it is not your time. Not yet. Waking is a
uniquely personal journey of self reflection and remembrance
combining third person exploration and real-world meditation.
Traverse the twisted pathways of your mind in a quest to wake, and
make choices that shape a uniquely individual experience. Along
the way, face your fears and desires as you summon memories of
loved ones, and do battle with those who would have you sleep
forever.
A true meditative experience
A uniquely personal journey
Waking blurs the line between fantasy and reality, taking you deep inside your mind both in-game and out. Third-person exploration melds with guided meditation techniques to create a new type of experience at the intersection of reflection, emotion and memory.
Battle the forces of entropy surrounded by the ones you love. Waking asks you to draw on your own experiences, fears and desires and bring them with you on your journey to wake. Here in the dream your memories are your protectors, your companions and your weapons.
