Details

Overview

Dreamer's Wake is a single-player, third-person action-platformer collectathon developed and published by MORPH. Released on October 9, 2026, this short but stylized adventure casts you as a Haniwa—an ancient Japanese funerary clay figure believed to guard the dead or guide them into the afterlife.

Your mission: traverse the fading dreams of lost souls and help them find rest.

The game wears its weirdness proudly. The description warns that it's "made by a crazy person" and that it's "guaranteed to be one of the weirdest looking games you've ever seen." That's not hyperbole—each level is a window into a deceased person's subconscious, and the visual design leans heavily into surreal, cartoony aesthetics that defy easy description.

Highlights

Six Unique Dreams: Explore six distinct dreamscapes, each tied to a different soul. From the Child's Dream to the Fortune Teller's Dream with its shifting sands, every level offers a fresh visual and mechanical twist.
Haniwa Protagonist: Play as a Haniwa, a clay figure from ancient Japanese burial practices, adding a unique cultural and thematic layer to the platforming action.
Full Controller Support & Steam Achievements: The game supports controllers fully and includes Steam Achievements, making it a comfortable pick for couch play and completionists alike.

Who It's For

If you're a fan of collectathon platformers like Super Mario Odyssey or A Hat in Time, but you're craving something more bizarre and emotionally resonant, Dreamer's Wake should be on your radar. It's also a great choice for players who appreciate games that explore themes of death and memory in unconventional ways.

However, the game comes with a clear warning: it may trigger motion sickness and epilepsy. If you're sensitive to those, the developers advise caution—this game is "too weird" for you, as they put it.

So, if you're prone to visual overload, you might want to sit this one out.
