A zombie love story musical
An indie game
Waking Up is just an idea, an evolving concept for over 2 years. So what's the pitch?
Waking Up is a Cinematic Platformer (Another World, Limbo) combining action and puzzles with adventure elements (Oxenfree, Firewatch). In a city famous for its quarantined zombie population, a minimum wage retail clerk dreams of a better world when a cryptic scientist and an unlikely task force whisk him off on a post-apocalyptic adventure. Their search for a cure becomes complicated when a love-obsessed zombie seeks to steal the boy's heart through force, intrigue and song. The game reveals a quirky and endearing story of love and courage through the charming lyrics of Stephanie Mabey in her album Wake Up Dreaming, featuring The Zombie Song and Glorious.
I'm excited to share more with you in the coming months!



Sorry for the double comment, but do you have any ideas for the mechanics? With interesting gameplay, i think it has a lot of potential, like Crypt Of The Necrodancer.
Glad you joined, welcome! The base gameplay is similar to other cinematic platformers: minimal UI (no health bars or stats to track), realistic physics and animations, tight controls and hard puzzles. But we're adding some interesting storytelling mechanisms which (hopefully) pull you even deeper into this atmospheric world and its characters. The songs support the storytelling but don't have direct mechanics like Crypt Of The Necrodancer. They're still so cool!
Thanks for the answer. :)
I'm interested, joined this community. Good luck with this. :)
