Our take on Awakening Sarah
The store presentation gives substantial attention to Sarah’s dream journey and surreal atmosphere. The listed play structure is more specific: a 2D platformer with non-linear exploration, environmental puzzles, secrets, and 24 usable items. The narrative framing may therefore set expectations for a story-led adventure beyond its platforming workflow.
What is Awakening Sarah?
Awakening Sarah is a 2D platformer focused on exploring a dream world shaped by Sarah’s memories, fears, and desires.
Players move through surreal locations, discover secrets at their own pace, and solve puzzles to open new areas and assist characters. Sarah can find 24 items with different uses, including an umbrella that slows her fall, scissors that can cut almost anything, and a camera. The game combines fantasy settings with elements of reality and follows Sarah as she recovers from a coma and tries to understand herself and the world around her.
