We Love It's Guide to…

Asleep: Act 1

Set in Brazil’s Northeast in the 1990s, Asleep: Act 1 follows Ana Lúcia, a girl lost in nightmares and a disorienting reality. Players explore the places she encounters while piecing together what is happening. A flashlight and ambient light help reveal paths, items, and locations, while different creatures respond to light in different ways. Staying in darkness for too long worsens Ana Lúcia’s sanity, making stealth and careful use of light important to surviving encounters. Players investigate environments, gather documents and clues for Ana Lúcia’s sketchbook, and solve point-and-click puzzles using collected items. The game also includes platforming, enemy evasion, two versions of its universe, and optional collectibles that can unlock memories; Act 1 is the first part of a chapter-based story.

As Ana Lúcia, explore a 1990s Brazilian nightmare, solve point-and-click puzzles, and use light to evade hostile creatures.
