About this game

He is asleep upstairs. Don't wake him up.

Don't Wake Him Up is a first-person survival horror game set in one dark house at 3:14 AM. Ritual candles are hidden all over it: in drawers and cupboards, under things and on top of things, some behind locks. Find them, carry each one by hand to the chalk circle, and light them all, while a clown with a chainsaw sleeps in the main bedroom.

Wake him and the night turns into a clown chase. He hunts by sound and by sight: running feet, a slammed door, a glimpse of you in a doorway.

HOW A NIGHT GOES
• Creep through his house. Crouch to keep your footsteps quiet.
• Search drawers, cupboards and wardrobes for the hidden ritual candles.
• Carry one candle at a time to the circle and set it on a chalk mark.
• Light every candle before he catches you. When the last one stands, he knows.

WHEN HE WAKES
• Hide in wardrobes and under beds, unless he sees you go in.
• Shove him away when he gets his hands on you, then run.
• Listen: his footsteps and his voice tell you where he is.
• A pistol, if you find it, knocks him down for a while. It cannot end the threat.

WHAT YOU CARRY
• A lighter for the candles.
• A glowstick: a quiet light that fades over time.
• Night vision on a limited battery.
• Keys for locked cupboards, and a hammer for the boarded cellar door. The hammer is loud.
• Pages found along the way reveal what happened to the Harrow family.

YOUR NIGHT, YOUR WAY
• Choose 3 to 13 candles: a short night or the whole night.
• Choose how hard he hunts: Normal, Hard or Nightmare.
• An optional guide shows the next step, every step, or nothing.
• Checkpoints save your progress through the night. New hiding places for the candles on every new run.
• Touch controls built for phones, with adjustable interface size and look speed.
• Brightness and subtitles for what you hear, in the options. A How to Play page covers the basics.
