Waking
An introspective dream-crawler that asks you to name real people from your life, then builds its world out of those answers. Stronger as an experience than as an action game.
GamerScout Verdict
Worth it if you want a game that talks to you personally; skip it if you need the action to hold up on its own.
Compare Prices(2 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Waking
Waking is for players who want a game to ask them something personal and then build itself out of the answers, and it's a hard pass for anyone hunting tight, responsive action. You play a body in a coma, drifting through a dreamscape stitched from your own memories, and the game really does prompt you to name people and places that matter to you, then hands those names back as guardians, allies, and obstacles. Combat is telekinetic, floaty, more ritual than skill test. When the trick lands, it lands hard. Few games get this close to feeling like they're addressing you specifically, and the meditative narration carries a genuine weight most indie mood pieces never reach. The problem is everything around it. Encounters thin out fast, movement never sharpens, and long stretches sag between the moments that actually hit. Come for the one thing it does that nothing else does, and make peace with the rest.
