Reviews

“The Wake Explores the Masks We Wear in Grieving.”


“語り手の過去は開発者の実話を元にした暗い記憶が綴られ、ほかのアドベンチャーゲームでは滅多に見られないストーリーを展開する。”
8/10 –

“가장 개인적인 이야기, '더 웨이크'는 연대를 향한 첫 발걸음이다.”

About This Game



The Wake is the last of game developer Somi’s “Guilt Trilogy,” consisting of Replica and Legal Dungeon.


Perhaps it means my life simply boils down to this: “Everything I say is a lie.”



The Wake is a record of past wounds opened at a three-day funeral—a record of the roots of guilt, and the memories and emotions that chain together three generations of a family.

The journal is encoded with a simple substitution cipher that the player must break in order to reveal the writer’s psyche and discover the contradictions that define him.

Explore a generational curse that has swallowed a man and his life.
