Sleep Awake - Drovic

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.

Drovic is a member of the Pain Eaters, a group who believe the only true way to avoid the sleep death is to live in a state of constant pain. To bring yourself to the edge and return. The belief that pain is the catalyst to move beyond our human bonds.
