Asleep: Act 1

Asleep: Act 1 is the first episode of a psychological horror adventure about Ana Lúcia, a lonely and confused girl lost in her nightmares and a disturbing reality in 1990s northeastern Brazil. You explore detailed 2D pixel-art environments, collect clues for Ana Lúcia’s sketchbook and solve puzzles to uncover what is happening in her world.

Light and danger

You rely on a flashlight and ambient lighting to find items and places, and to attract or avoid enemies. Different monsters react differently to light. Stealth helps you escape threats, while learning how to deal with each one. Staying in darkness for too long worsens Ana Lúcia’s sanity, making her anxious and attracting more dangers; the longer she remains in the dark, the more chaotic her nightmares become.

Explore and survive

The game combines point-and-click puzzles, escapes from monsters in the style of classic survival horror, and platforming as you navigate the environment. You can travel between two versions of the game’s universe, encountering a darker and more hostile side. Documents, items and clues help uncover the plot’s mysteries, while choices and collectibles can unlock secret memories. The story is divided into chapters, with Act 1 as its first part.
