As If Dreaming When You're Wide Awake

About the game

A closer look.

As If is a first person narrative game portraying issues revolving around mental health. Experience the life of Matthew as he struggles to reach his dreams and wishes. As a teenager, Matthew seems to have everything he needs. He has a loyal friend, a caring mother, and a father to look up to. He is an aspiring boy, whose journey to the future is a rather bright one. However, he starts to hear the voices inside his head, telling him that he is unworthy of the future awaits for him. He plunges deeper to the hole of depression when he starts to listen to the voices, driving him away from what he believes to be true. His ambitions starts to crumble when schizophrenia starts to take hold of his destiny. See the world through Matthew's eyes. Experience his life. See all the broken hopes. See through the disappointments. Stand against the judgements. Walk as if in his shoes. Explore an immersive, stylized 3D world through a first person point of view. Interact with various objects and characters. Engage in voice acted conversations. Enjoy beautifully crafted original soundtracks.
