Time To Wake Up | Time to Wake Launches on PC and PS5
The game's blinking mechanic ties the player's gaze to puzzle progress, making the act of looking away part of the escape from a dream prison, a design that separates it from the standard horror release calendar.

Serafini Productions and Eye Blink Twice released the psychological horror game Time To Wake Up | Time to Wake for PC and PS5. The game is set in a dream prison where the player wakes at midnight but cannot return to reality. A mysterious voice offers a contract: the player lends their eyes in exchange for help uncovering the truth of the dream. Blinking collapses and rebuilds the world, and the player's gaze is the key to escaping.
The release is out now on PC via Steam and on PS5. The premise places the player in a dream prison with no escape: they wake at midnight but cannot return to reality, and a mysterious voice offers a contract to borrow the player's eyes in return for help uncovering the truth of the dream.
Each blink collapses the world and rebuilds it. Familiar locations such as schools, libraries, theme parks, and corridors hold fragments of memory. Blinking can reset gimmicks, fill rooms with water, and invert the world, and the player's gaze is the only key to escaping the nightmare labyrinth.
