Game summary

You're stuck in a sleep paralysis. Everything seems real and feels like you're wide awake, but you can't move. For every blink you make, the more surreal it becomes. Inevitably, you sink into a nightmare, you're stuck inside a box, and you can't get out. You need to wake up! UpWakeNing is a challenging jumping platformer. You need to wake up, and to do so you need to climb to the highest point in the nightmare in which you reside in. Be careful though, for every unlucky slip, the less sane you might become. Gameplay -A high-stake jumping platform game A game where only you are responsible for the outcome. You are your own enemy and hero. The only way is up and with every successful jump, the higher the tension rises as one mistake can mean a long fall, a true nightmare. -Two levels While the two levels are somewhat identical, if you are to beat the first level, you get to enjoy the second level with the ability to double jump! Journey back in the hellish place that nearly made you insane, and calmly laugh away how you were stuck at a certain place, and blaze through it with the double jump. -Physics Angle, velocity, rotation and gravity is a thing. You will quickly realize this. -Hold to charge and jump Can you master something as simple as jumping with the right amount of power, let alone account for angles, velocity and the rotation when you jump? -Preparation is your best asset When you're in the air, you cannot change the path you have chosen. There's no auto-save. Plan your jumps. The consequences can be dire. Make sure your angles isn't too sharp and your velocity isn't too high. Be prepared to make mistakes. You learn from them. It's tough, but the reward is high. Challenge your friends to master this mental challenge. Who can do it faster and in fewest amount of jumps? Prove that you can beat the beta-testers. No beta testers were able to beat the game. Atmosphere Enjoy or despair at the sleep paralysis, nightmare and wha

Play UpWakeNing on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play UpWakeNing on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

UpWakeNing installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install UpWakeNing like you would on any PC.
