Sleep Awake - DTM agents

Working with the studio Eyes Out, these were early designs for their 2025 game Sleep Awake.
-
Sleep Awake takes place in the last city on earth. Those who fall asleep inexplicably disappear, a phenomenon known as The Hush. Desperate, panicked, and living with perpetual insomnia, the denizens of the city have splintered into depraved cults. Each with their own insane beliefs on the best way to stay awake, and stave off the Hush.
-
The Delta Transport Ministry or DTM are the largest of these organized groups, and believe that those in The Crush who are not living the way of the Delta Transport are attractors of The HUSH, and thereby a threat to the safety of all. They believe that they alone are on the path to staving off sleep, and achieving permanent wakefulness.
Agents patrol the many districts of the hush, subjugating and converting those who have chosen a different path.
