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

bro this is the first time a game make my heart skip a beat, it feels to real with the voice acting, and it's all a surprise, love this game SO MUCH!!!
WHERE YOU THINK YORE GOING BABY!?!? HEY I JUST MET YOU, AND THIS IS CRAZY, BUT HERS MY NUMBER SO CALL ME MAYBEE?!?!?!
How do you get this to work on a Mac????? It always says that decompression failed.
spectacular give me 14 of them right now <3
Love this game!!Those links are interesting!
I like adding things that make the game more immersive: links that lead to actual sites, files you have to sift through to progress (or as easter eggs), or ways to make a game more meta
Rlly wanted to try doing meta stuff ngl, would be suuuper fun
Looking forward to your next game! Thank you for all your hard work. ❤
I love this game so much! It's so short, but you form a connection with it and it's just incredible. I genuinely laughed and fell in love while playing it. And also, everything, to the video chats, dialogs, VA, was designed to make the experience very immersive. But with all that, I think that the links idea was my favorite! Never seen It before, so I had a lot of fun. Everything about this was simply amazing and I miss the game already, enough to want to reset my brain just so I could experience everything again. Congratulations on the good work!
I looove love love making players put in at least some effort<3 adds to the immersion frfr
uno así diosito

I love this game so much, the first play thru I got good ending!! but then played again to see the bad ending I cried LMFAOO.

I actually loved this. Me and my friend were absolutely roasting him on call the whole time. Karu was the best part lolz. I would definitely play again and recommend this to friends! The tagalog too. The homework also threw me off guard. AND I JUST HAD CALCULUS BEFORE PLAYING AND I FORGOT I HAD HOMEWORK FOR THAT CLASS. and I'm not failing cal anymore. So thanks! Amazing game btw!!! :3

as someone who's in her third year of college (no calc class tho, that was in my 1st/2nd year sobs) this is perfect for me rn... reed is such a guy and 100% someone i would date im in tears. the "no talking" part made me have genuine flashbacks to when people did the same to me tho so like LMAOOO thats a rlly accurate portrayal of it. i got the good ending first try and im so happy, i had to pause multiple times just to pace around and scream. I WANT YOU TOO BABY BOY!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THE FOOD <3
I got an error message and wasn't able to download,, it says "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect." Has anyone else had trouble? Is it an issue with my device?
Hi op!! What device did you try to download it on?
edit: I looked on reddit and turns out it’s a windows thing? Like when a folder is named with characters like ? or ! (someone correct me if im wrong im a mac user unfortunately LMAO)
Hi! I’m on windows so that could be part of the issue. Specifically, it’s a Lenovo. If other windows users haven’t had problems then it’s probably my own device, although I haven’t had trouble like this before.
I'm having this same issue :P so no, not just u :(
Does the jam version of the game work? Just curious to see if it’s just an issue with the new version
i loved the art and the voice acting and the storie i was smiling so much at the endd

Oh, gosh. The amount of giggles and nostalgia I went through while playing this game should be illegal. This game reminded me of a friend I don't talk to anymore; he was someone I lost because of a stupid argument and stupid excuses I made. Thanks for the awesome game! <3
