About
Here is a new nightmare, reborn as an arcade-like experience.
NeverAwake FLASHBACK is an offshoot of the nightmare action shooter NeverAwake.
NeverAwake is a nightmarish twin-stick shooter with a unique worldview and original game rules, and was awarded the “Vermilion Gate Award” for the most outstanding work at BitSummit X-Roads in 2022.
New Game Rules! A Reborn Roguelite Shooter Based on the Nightmare World of NeverAwake!
The basic specifications of NeverAwake have been retained, but the style of the game is more like an arcade shooter, where players progress through shuffled stages in a random order, selecting weapons and accessories available between each stage, providing a challenge in a short time.
Gabe-chan, an important existence for the main character Rem, will join the game as a partner to protect Rem.
And completely new stages and new bosses have been added!
Plus, long-awaited new accessories!
Combine numerous weapons and accessories to fight off the monsters in your nightmares.
