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.

Game Ratings for NeverAwake Video Game.
NextGen Player: 8 / 100 by Paul Hunter
NeverAwake kept me awake long hours as I felt compelled to binge-play the more than 80 levels in the game. The luscious graphics and innovative level-looping gameplay instantly hooked me and separates it from the crowed shoot 'em up genre. The best surprise, though, was the thoughtful story that tackles tough topics with sensitivity and elegance.
PC Invasion: 8.5 / 10 by Andrew Farrell
NeverAwake doesn't just have stellar graphics, it offers up some really special shmup gameplay with a surprising amount of content.
WayTooManyGames: 8.5 / 10 by Leonardo Faria
These issues were minute, however. I still wholeheartedly recommend picking NeverAwake up, even if you’re just moderately acquainted to bullet hell shooters. Its gameplay is actually innovative, in a genre known for rarely experimenting with new control schemes or gameplay loops, and its visuals are just amazing, being the perfect blend of something from Tim Burton and old-school Sega. Even if its story was forgettable and its duration wasn’t that impressive, its core mechanics more than made up for any setbacks found along the way.
