Twin-stick shooter in which we play a girl trapped in a nightmare. To wake up, the game's main character NeverAwake has to face everything that scares her - from vegetables to mutant dogs to dentists.
NeverAwake is a twin-stick shooter in which we play a girl trapped in a nightmare. It was developed by indie studio Neotro, and was released by Phoenixx.
The main character of the game NeverAwake is a girl named Rem. Plunged into a dream, the protagonist faces her nightmares, trying to find a way to wake up. How the wanderings of our protagonist will end depends on our commitment and style of play.
NeverAwake is a side-scroller. We move through a variety of (though equally dark) stages during the gameplay and eliminate hordes of enemies. In more than 80 levels Rem encounters not only serial enemies, which she eliminates in wholesale quantities, but also much more powerful than them bosses. On the protagonist's way stand, among others, nightmarish vegetables, mutated dogs or, finally, dentists. In short - Rem faces everything that girls of her age fear. The heroine fights her opponents, making use primarily of firearms. In addition, as she progresses, the girl supplies herself with a variety of accessories, which, if properly matched with the main weapon, can significantly increase her combat potential. The latter make it worthwhile to return to already completed missions to improve your score with new tools of murder.
NeverAwake features cartoonish graphics made in a gloomy style. Attention is especially drawn to the terrifying designs of the monsters that Rem faces. We can also listen to a soundtrack full of chiptune sounds cheering for battle.

Gamer Escape: 9 / 10 by Timothy Hyldahl
NeverAwake is a truly polished gem, an absolute pleasure from start to finish. The short levels, simple controls, and satisfying challenge all combine to make it oh so tempting to play “just one more level” until you’ve binged the whole game. While there are certainly a few areas here and there that feel less polished, they really focused on the core that makes for a great shooter.
Hey Poor Player: 4.5 / 5 by Josh Speer
NeverAwake is still a transcendent and shockingly enjoyable adventure. Not only did I get invested in the story of the game, but the gameplay constantly kept me on my toes, and was a balanced challenge. While some may be irritated by the hardcore vibe of the game, I’d say this is a title that almost any gamer can appreciate. Add in the low price, and this is a must own adventure.
