Wake Me Up If You Need Me
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Being a night owl, you naturally have trouble sleeping. Sleep is important for the average person, but you're a university student who loves to do their homework from 12AM onwards. Luckily, you have a friend that's literally a call away!
Why're you taking calculus? I don't know, calculus is pretty hard. But it's okay, just ask him to help you. He's been your friend for a while after all!! He sounds rude, but don't worry that's just cause he's sleepy<3
Just be sure to try and communicate properly with each other, okay? I would hate for you guys to argue.
As some of you may have noticed, this is indeed the update for Wake Me Up If You Need Me! A semi-total rehaul of the game, aka the game if I was given more time to do the things I kind of wanted to do (especially visually).
I still have the old version up if ever you'd like to see what it was like back in the trenches<3

I love it but when it comes to solving calcucus is hurting my heads more now I have thankful wish to myself WHAHHAA "buti diko pinili ung stem" stem was my very first option but when i found out its all about maths nothing escapess
love that mabuls song at the end
Reed is so cute. Also that singing at the end cracked me up.
i fear as someone who dropped out of high school the calculus segment made me want to cry
i love reed so much hes so cute and actually just like me we’re matching personalities. this is such a cute game and i love it so so much!
Dw even I don't understand the calculus segment, I had to ask a friend to help me with that LMAO
PLSSS MAKE MORE LIKE THIS PLSSS I LOVE THIS GAME AND THIS MAN SO BAD
NAH CUZ I WENT AFK FOR TOO LONG AND SUDDENLY HEARED BRO SING
I GOT A HEART ATTACK THINKING I ACCIDENTALLY JOINED A DISCORD CALL 😭
this is so sweet :3
... i got the bad endding first
playing this during the middle of the night for the true experience <3
Ok, this was too adorable! Also love all the details that made it more immersive like the links, the pov with the facial expressions, voice acting. The moment I heard the singing at the main menu, I knew I found a gem.
Anyway, love Reed, kinilig ako!!
yieee kinilig sya
THIS WAS SO GOOD WHAT??? I DONT KNOW WHAT I WAS EXPECTING BUT I LOVED IT!!!! It lowkey felt so real too. Like it felt like an actual conversation with Reed/ the VA. SO, GOOD JOB!!! IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND I WILL HAVE THIS ON MY RECOMMENDATION LIST!! Plus, the "call me maybe" part actually had me in tears bro. I DID NOT EXPECT THAT BUT I LOVED IT! I WAS DYING WITH LAUGHTER IT'S SO SWEET T.T Love it. infinity/10 This is definitely my favorite now!
Very wholesome game. It is very short as well nothing much then that really.
I stayed up from, 5-7 to play it this am, having been on a bender of visual novels. this guy was singing every 70 seconds when I played early this morning n now he isnt?? I deleted it after I finished the good ending but just redownloaded it bc my cousin was like
'lowkey miss that guys singing..' 'REED??"
Anyway, Love the voice this guy has, even if I had to listen to his singing every. minute. It was so bad in the moment since I had to keep stopping n let it play so I could listen to his actual dialogue after but it was so silly. what a cutie, a million stars!!!
Wait he's just eternally singing??? LMAO
HE WAS. literally every other minute he'd break out into song. I couldnt mute it or nothinn,, second time I downloaded it though his passion for it was gone so no eternal singing
so wholesome!!
I recommend this game to my friend; she cannot stop playing it, and half of their recent searches are about it. I haven't played it, but it looks amazing, and I would recommend it to anyone who needs some amusement. (they are driving me crazy about this...)
Hi op !! We have a discord server if that piques your interest <3 Glad you both had a good time playing the game !!

WONDERFUL GAME GENUINELY STIRRED EMOTIONS IN ME AND MADE ME SHED TEARS (TOT) CUZ THE STORIES SO GOOD AND FEELS SO REALISTIC LIKE I'M TALKING TO AN ACTUALLY PERSON. THE VOICE ACTING MADE IT SO REAL THAT I FORGOT THIS WAS JUST A GAME

UGHH I LOVE THIS GAME SM <33
"I'm really bad with words," he says AFTER HE GAVE A WHOLE ASS SPEECH THAT MADE MY HEART CACKLE. WTF, OEVEFKFVBKFMBKEMBK THIS IS SO GOOD MY GOD RAHHHH
ahhh this is such a silly game, i love the amount of effort you put into it! the links, the actual maths explanations (which i 100% tried solving in person too - i just finished my college calc module...), the climax, everything was just great! also i really loved filo reed, it was nice recognising an accent and even hearing the "kuya" part. great writing! :3
YEUGH calculus, will never miss it. I asked my (former math major) friend to provide me with problems and solutions with explanations for the math bit ehe
Ayoo! I love Reed wtf! This was so wholesome shit I can't believe it xD
Also rice you really did a good job choosing nahazuno, he fits him so perfectly!
Hope to see more like this in the future <3
I LUV HIS CHARACTER DESING SM!!!
"I'm really bad with words" - HE SAIS AFTER GIVING A WHOLE ASS SPEACH THAT MAKES ONE WEAK IN THE KNEES... luv it
Nvm i got good ending and ive been fed father thank you.
WHY DO I KEEP GETTING BD ENDING? AM I THAT BAD? I WOULD NEVER SAY THOSE THINGS ABUT HIM! UGHHHHHHHH IM CRYING..
Oh jesus, where do I begin? From start to finish this was honestly so wonderful. Reed was such a lovable character, and so realistic so much so I’m convinced you had to have taken a real human soul to create him.
The dialogue as well was so realistic I was immersed with what was going on, even got me listening hard on the calc(not because I’m maths major or any who, and it was super relatable cough cough). But seriously, this is going straight to one of my fav vn of all time.
a pesar de mis dificultades de entender ingles... me a encantado
i gotta be honest i had a online friend who told they wanted to stop talking and it took a dark turn, and i think if i was more understood where i'd stood with them they might be doing better im just glad they help before it was to late being i cried cause i called it saying ' dont end your life' and its probably a bad thing to think that. but overall i really like game and will probably want more, i also really really like your art style its so yummy and smooth😼
!!SPOILERS MENTIONED!!
When I tell you I've never cried so hard at a video game- Oh. My. God. It was amazing. I love Reed's character so much. I was unfortunately reminded of past friendships when he said we shouldn't talk anymore, but that only made it so much more personal to me. I love the game.
u wld never be able to describe the shock tht i felt when reeds sister said 'kuya?' holy SHET I CANT BELIEVE I FOUND A FILO VISUAL NOVEL???? GODDDDDD if u couldnt already tell im filo too and i absolutely loved this novel. it changed the way u viewed reed sm (for the better ofc) and i could definitely feel the filo touch to the story, if im not mistaken. the absolute rollercoaster of emotions i went thru nearing the ending KILLED MEEEEEE i was crying then smiling n crying again it was funny somehow,, anyway thank u for this novel and i wish u luck on ur future endeavors! i hope everyone who has played thru this game can be someones 'healthy distraction' someday (if u arent already) this is definitely going on my 'best ever' collection. I LOVE U RICE N NAHAZUNO
this was soooo amazing! OMG i really need more visual novels like this and also i cant belive that i learned calculus from a game TwT, MC is actually smthing that i feel represented on and it was cute (im tired of the same yandere visual novels ngl) love it!!!!<33333
Tbf reed is like, the LAST person i think who'd be a yandere. I feel like he gives "sad boy" energy tho ngl. GLAD YOU LEARNT SMTH
This what i had to say, I AM HOOKED.
it's truly refreshing seeing a visual novel (which is the genre i LOVE) was actually very interactive AND relatable. I can truly see myself in MC, and also in Reed. I really love Reed's character and how he portrayed as, and i also got myself solving the calculus which i'm stupid at, with how he's so patient while teaching and stay up late for me/mc is so adorable. I almost burst into tears at night 3 or 4 where we fight, also made me afraid for getting the other ending which perhaps the bad ending. SO yeah, Reed now has been promoted to be one of my favorite love interest on visual novel game. AND FOR THE VA, i love how soft and gentle the voice is, got me hooked for real. I hope to see another game with him as VA ><. I LOVE KARU TOO. Thank you so much for rice being the creator for creating this game. love lots, isoel
amo tanto este juego, me hace llorar, saludos desde mexico
