In our final episode of the 2025, we dive deep into SLEEP AWAKE from Eyes Out, the studio founded by Cory Davis (Spec Ops: The Line) and Robin Finck (Nine Inch Nails).

Jordan Guerette, lead audio designer and Clay Westing, lead game designer joined us to explore how the team managed to bring this hallucinatory psychological horror game to life. From their process in designing the impact of sleep deprivation as game mechanics to translating the high-level vision into realized game and narrative elements, we dive deep into the weeds here.
