NeverAwake Flashback

After escaping the ordeals of NeverAwake, protagonist Rem thought she found peace, but her sweet dreams start to turn dark again. Joined by her plushie Gabe-chan, Rem must once again dive deep into her subconscious and fight literal sleep demons to enjoy peace once more. But now, the nightmares keep changing. Flying about procedurally-generated arenas, blasting away twisted versions of youthful fears like terrifying dentist tools, broccoli monsters, and aggressive chihuahua ghouls in 360-degree combat.

At the start of each run, combine three weapons and three accessories to optimize Rem's attacks to collect souls to progress and unlock upgrades. Use Gabe-chan's special abilities to help turn the tide against the apparitions. Fight through 50 procedurally-generated stages in randomized order, swapping out weapons and abilities as needed. Play through new series of levels each time, or use a simple code to replay a favorite seed of levels. Fight dangerous new bosses, navigate new hazards, in an experience that combines quick pick-up-and-play action while giving NeverAwake veterans new challenges in a familiar environment.

  • Kick out vegetables, dentists, and other monsters and blow away painful childhood memories!
  • Unique worldview set in a "girl's nightmare"
  • Beautiful hand-drawn graphics and animation
  • Unique game rules, high retryability
  • Fast-paced gameplay and powerful boss battles
  • Over 80 levels/dozens of tricky bosses
  • Numerous weapons and accessories, and their combination builds
