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

Just wanted to say I no joke got into this so much to the point I got my calculator out to try and figure out the questions myself. (I have absolutely no experience with calculus)
I'm a total loser.
But it was totally worth it in the end as I now have a nerdy sleepy bf. (he just like me fr)
My only real critique is Reed's VA could have gotten a higher quality mic or better soundproofing or whatever, as tons of background noise came through whenever he was speaking (sorry if this sounds rude)
Other than that, loved it!
Tbh I added calculus and math questions to WMUIYNM to see if players would actually take a crack at it. Surprisingly enough? A lot of you guys did LMAO
Honestly I thought we had to solve them in order to get the good ending or something lmao
PSSHHH Nahh I’m not thaaat mean. The questions Reed asks are mostly math terminology
Would u mind if someone made an android port?
Hi op!! I think someone did play it on an android using smth (i forgot if it was an emulator; I’ll look through the comments for that) <3
Oh well shucks i dont know how to use emulators:(
I FOUND IT!! “Joiplay” look it up op
Ok,thanks
Please make an android port
This is my first game of this category and its an amazing introduction... The visuals are great the story is phenomenal and the voice acting is extremely well done thx to the people who made it happen and made it this good. :3
Oh my god, such a cute game. I played this with a friend and the absolute horror on our faces as we realized there would be actual calculus in this was priceless. The voice acting was stunning and it's genuinely such a cute game, the little details really gave the game such an amazing personality. 10/10 would play again and again until I got bored, which would be never. (Also, the cat looks like my friend's cat!)
Karu (the cat) is actually just my friend's cat named Karu. Karu has many copycats I fear nodnod
(I totally added the calculus and didn't warn anybody about it on purpose)
OMG!! TYSM FOR PLAYING OP <3
You're welcome! By the way if you need another male voice actor for your VN's I know someone! ^__^ I am going to play your entire library for my cozy channel!
Definitely keeping this in mind! Thank you so much!
YOU'RE AMAZING AND I LOVE YOU FOR DOING THIS GAME! I seriously feel so happy whenever I play it and I just play it nonstop every night or when I'm bored during the day. It's so adorable and I love Reed so much he's the cutest 😭 I never get the bad ending (thank god) but I'm sort of curious on how to get it..
The hidden message in the answers docs did it for meeeee
Grabe yung kilig alsjifafia
Thank you for sharing this work of art <3 Looking forward to your next projects! :)
Ako rin kinilig e LMAO
so call me maybe
HELLLPPP I HAD IT OPEN IN THE BACKGROUND AND I WAS ALSO SINGINS CALL ME MAYBE AND HE STARTED SINGING IT TOO I GOT SCARED LIKE ACTUALLY
It was so nice and cutee
this game is so silly and cute it's comforting and the fact that the link is real and 1 time u can see the text where reed said our sleeping face is cute! ugh I want to play this game for the first time again
The fact that the link to the YT vid is real has caused a lot of people to comment on the vid, thanking Reed, and it somehow caused the channel to like the comments
So now most if not all of the comments there are liked by the channel owner, and I don't know if I should feel accomplished LMAO
this was so cute ˘͈ᵕ˘͈
Okay pero...la confesión de Reed? Es una de las cosas más dulces, lindas y puras que existen en el mundo. Si no es así no quiero nada, gracias. Casi se me salían las lágrimas y todo.
i think my heart exploded when because of this game.. Its soo cute!!!
ABSOLUTE BANGER, THIS GAME IS TOO CUTE FOR THIS WOLRD BRO
but i only did the good ending, im genuinely scared to do the bad ending if it is one (I almost hesitate to do it)
i want to kiss his whole face until he dies bc of the kisses (trust me you can die from that, my ex died a lot of times)
my last words: too cute.
This game is so adorable! I also love the details of his tattoos at the enddd ;3
LITTERALLY SO CUTE ADSKJFADSKFJLADFSKLJ i loved this so much
Wish there was an android ver lol so if im in school feelin stressed i'd try it out or while im doing my homework without any hesitation opening it. In my pc its just too huge. Just sharing my opinion is all. Btw the game was by far very good! Keep up the good work!! I love it, bro T-T
Unfortunately I won’t be making an android version, but a little pocket reed is a good replacement for a calculator nodnod
This game reminds me of 'Can I call you tonight?' By dayglow!(I love this game sm.)
Ooo! Now I gotta check that out
edit: IM ADDING IT TO MY SPOTIFY TYSM!!!!
YWWW THIS GAMNE WAS SO FUN TO PLAYY I ALWAYS PLAY IT ONCE IN A WHILE!!
that's soooo.. different
this is such a cute game i swear
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
DIDN’T FINISHED THE GAME BUT I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU TO YOU AND THE VOICE ACTOR, GOD WHY DOES HIS VOICE SO FUCKING GOOD. IF MY MAN DON’T HAVE A VOICE LIKE HIM, I DONT WANT HIM
I HATE YOU THIS GAME BROKE MY HEART THE BAD ENDING OMGGG IM CRYING THIS CRUEL WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
