Reviews

“Awake’s first episode has few equals in VR. It’s a piece that understands the purpose of telling a story in VR and isn’t afraid to wrestle with new ways of involving you in a story. For that alone, you need to see it.”
Upload VR

“VR MVP Award ...if it’s not a game, it’s not quite a pure TV series, either. It inhabits a space between the two. In other words, it’s doing something new and exciting, pushing the entire medium forward, and it deserves a closer look.”
AV Club

“The details are astounding. The design of AWAKE is that special blend of charming and unsettling…”
