Neverwake is a newly announced retro roguelite RPG from the creator of IT Specialist Simulator. FreeMind S.A. introduced the game alongside its live Steam page, where you can now add it to your wishlist.
The objective sounds straightforward: find a particular three-legged table. Getting there is the problem. Monsters and dangerous encounters stand between you and the furniture, with repeated deaths forming part of the game’s progression.
A Furniture Hunt With Turn-Based Battles
Neverwake takes inspiration from 1980s computer RPGs, using retro pixel art and a CRT-style presentation. Its announcement pairs that visual approach with tactical turn-based battles, exploration and loot.
The table gives your expeditions a specific destination, but reaching it will require surviving the threats along the way. FreeMind describes the game as challenging, setting an expectation that your early attempts will end in failure.
That premise puts an ordinary object at the center of a fantasy quest. Instead of pursuing a legendary weapon or royal treasure, you’re risking your life for a table with three legs. The announcement leans into that joke while presenting combat and repeated attempts as the substance behind it.
Permanent Upgrades Carry Progress Between Runs
Death won’t erase all your progress. Neverwake includes permanent upgrades, letting you grow stronger between expeditions and push farther on later attempts.
You’ll also have opportunities to learn from failed runs. Tactical combat, loot, and lasting upgrades form the announced foundation, with each expedition giving you another attempt at reaching the objective.
FreeMind has not yet detailed the upgrade system, character options, or equipment. Those specifics will determine how you build your character and approach encounters, but the initial reveal keeps its focus on the repeated cycle of setting out, dying, and trying again.
Steam Wishlist Page Is Live
The Neverwake Steam page is available now for wishlisting. FreeMind has not announced a release date or price in the reveal.
