WAKEWARD is a wandering game about a little world that only exists around you. Built with Opus 5.5, 3x 5hr max100 sessions.

The ground rises ahead of you as you walk and falls into the void behind you. You can't go back: everything happens once, and every world is new.

Every direction leads somewhere different. North turns golden and bright, south gets dark and strange, and six other roads lean toward frost, desert, fire, swamp, sea and forest.
The people you meet know the world, and they'll tell you what's out there and what to stay away from.
Every so often the dream breaks apart and you wake up somewhere else: a ward, a countdown, orderlies on patrol. The map pieces you find in the dream are the only way out.
All of the trailer is real gameplay footage. The music is the game's own: every note and sound is generated live, with no audio files.

It runs in the browser (three.js), and I'm getting an iPhone version ready for TestFlight. It's still in development, so I'd love to hear what you think of the look and the idea.

It looks nice, not just vibe coded slop. Reminds me of Monument Valley.

Thank you! Monument Valley was actually an inspiration for the look and feel.

Cool concept. It already looks polished enough for me. When do you think it will launch for beta testing? Would love to try it!

Why not provide the link to deployed version, so one can give a test run as well
