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 am halfway into the game but i rlly want to get a good ending becuz reed is so cute and i love him already and he deserves a happy ending, anyone know the ending guide?
This game is amazing and I loved it!! Short and angsty/sweet!
gonna say this
for all of us with adhd/rsd(rejection sensitivity dysphoria) im pretty sure all our hearts shattered at night 4... and im gonna be honest, i *may* have had a few tears, but im good now- i think....
anywho- GOOD GAME WANT MORE
MY LOVEEE i like how cute the doc is btw
cute!
lovely game! i absolutely loved playing it! in a lot of aspects, reed reminds me of my boyfriend, and that made every single moment all the more silly to play through. even besides that, it's an amazing vn and i thoroughly enjoyed it!! 12/10!
one of my favoritest vns ive ever played
HELPP I WAS AFK AT THE TITLE SCREEN AND HE STARTED SINGING CALL ME MAYBE T-T
THIS IS SO CUTE I CRIED! I love this so much and the VA was a really good fit!
I LOVEE THIS, HE'S MY HUSBAND
aww wanted to download it but it gives me the error ''the filename directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect'' does anybody know how to fix this? :(
Hi op!! I think that’s a programming issue on my end, I’m super super sorry!! I work on a mac so I’m not exactly sure how windows works, but I’m asking friends to help me. Thank you for wanting to download the game though, and I’m so sorry again !!
I love this game sm! Not gonna lie though, the calculus questions caught me off guard as it gave me war flashbacks to taking calc in college. But despite that, I really like the writing a lot. The VA for Reed was incredible too. The way he spoke was so emotionally fluid and made it so real. This was a 10/10 in my book.
not a college student, but the questions(and explanation) practically fried my brain. i was so confused and yet sat through the entire thing like a shell shocked soldier
love it
bro i just played this gaem again... ts gave me ptsd omfag
how did bro know it's midnight 💀
anyways game time
Just letting you know that downloading the V2 is a no go on my end so I'm using the V1 for now. I'm using windows if that helps and using the app. :)
AAAA thank you so much for pointing this out op !! (I made this game on a mac I hate it here graaaah)
I’ll definitely try and look into it !! THANK YOUUU !!!
OMG I LOVE THIS ITS MY NEW FAVORITE AND REEDS VA DID SO GOOD I ACTUALLY NEVER LEAVE THE VOICES ON BUT OMG THEY DID AMAZING AND THE ARTSTYLE IS YUMMERS AND OMG THE CAT AHHHH

I HATE YOU THIS GAME BROKE MY HEART THE BAD ENDING OMGGG IM CRYING THIS CRUEL WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
hey! love the game, just wanted to give you a heads up if you didnt notice, right when your arguing with reed i think his name was? anyways, when he sighs it glitches out so its like multipule sighs yk? sorry if it was confusing, just wanted to give you a heads up
Oh hey! I thought that should've been fixed in the more recent version. I remember fixing that so hmm
oh? well thats just how it is for me, sorr y for bothering:)
how could anyone make a game this GOOD the good ending was honestly perfect

yep, having the same problems. I'll go with v1 until its fixed as well.
Same here, can't download V2
Hey op! Is it for mac or windows?
Hello! I had the same problem. I'm using windows.
Hey y'all, I'm in 11th grade currently so I know this is like college grade level of stuff to do but I was told I'm good at math..If that were really the case, I should understand this, right?
...
Why can't I understand any of this..? The most it's doing is hurting my brain and that's just frustrating me more... The game is nice! This isn't a jab or anything, just..I hate that I can't understand the problems at all...
It's okay op, I'm in college and even I don't understand it <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
I CAN NEVER ESCAPE STEM HAHHDHD salamuch for playing op, always glad to see more filipino players <3
love that mabuls song at the end
Wait, there's a different song other than the Silent Night one?
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 !!
is that fuckin freddy fazbear
frebear reigns supreme
