- Awakening Sarah OST free DLC now available! - 30 September 2025
(image says "ONLY THE BEST!", this is usually written on brazilian music compilation cds lol)The Original Soundtrack for Awakening Sarah is now available for free. This OST contains songs by Anthony Septim, One Sided Horse (the song used in the trailer) and the songs I made myself. :)I've also released a bundle that contains everything - Dreaming Sarah, Awakening Sarah and both OSTs. I wish I could add Wishing Sarah to this but since it's part of a different pack (Spooky Station), I couldn't. I want to remake it in 3D someday if I ever have the chance, with added content that I've had to scrap due to the release deadline (Wishing Sarah was fully made in 2 months!). Thank you for all the support!

- Awakening Sarah Steam page up + Demo Available! - 25 July 2023
Hi everyone, how have you all been? It's been a long, long time since I posted any news here. These past few years I've had to stop development on Awakening Sarah to focus on other projects, but this year I finally got back to it. In fact, there's a Steam page for it up now, with a demo and everything! There's a ton I have planned for Awakening Sarah, and some friends are helping me with all the work - so hopefully, we can get the game out this year, at least on Steam. Stay tuned on Awakening's Sarah game page for any news regarding it from now on. Thanks for reading and I hope we can make the wait worth it!
- Update 1.9.1 - 28 September 2020
Hi again! This update fixes some bugs you've reported on the last announcement. ːsarahː Here's a list: Fixed a issue where changing the volume for the music wouldn't affect it Fixed an issue where the fish effect would cause multiple item screens to show up due to it's rotation Fix an issue where the fish effect would unequip after equipping it for the first time Hat kid in the forest would sometimes say "0" Fixed an issue with the club girl event Tried to fix a memory leak that would cause framerate drops For this last one, I've also set 60fps to be the minimum framerate - this means that if the fps drops below 60, the game will slowdown instead of having the awful frameskipping, which could also cause bugs. Please let me know what you think, and if you have any other issues!
- New version - 1.9 - 9 September 2020
Hi everyone. I've updated the game with a TON of bugfixes and some art asset changes. This will mainly fix softlocking bugs. There's still bound to be a bug here and there due to the age of this game - I was still learning when I made it, and even though I tried fixing everything, maybe this new version still has some. If that's the case please let me know in the comments here so I can fix them. I'd like to thank everyone who's enjoying the game for the support over the years - Dreaming Sarah has become 5 years old this year! The game shall soon be released on the Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation 4™ and Xbox One™, hopefully this will help me keep going and working on the true sequel, Awakening Sarah. Also if you haven't checked it out, Wishing Sarah has become free to play and is available at Itch.io too. It's a short GameBoy™ game that happens after Dreaming Sarah and before Awakening Sar…

- Awakening Sarah sneak peek - 27 March 2018
Hi everyone! As some of you already know, I'm currently working on a sequel to Dreaming Sarah. It's called Awakening Sarah. I've only recently started working on it, so it's still far from complete, but I'd like to share a few gifs showcasing what I have so far. https://i.imgur.com/oGMCLMe.gif Sarah can now grab ledges. https://i.imgur.com/tnTy4Vg.gif As in the first game, Sarah will have some items that she can use. This time she will have a pair of scissors that can cut through anything and, more importantly, through anyone. https://i.imgur.com/8Fw7chu.gif Sarah will also be able to sing to resolve puzzles and maybe just for pure enjoyment. https://i.imgur.com/RS7gniO.gif And of course, we have some spooky new areas. https://i.imgur.com/2T0xsWd.gif There's also many other surprises that I won't spoil right now. The music is once again being composed by the amazing Anthony Septim, so y…

- Version 1.5 update - bug fixes and false positive - 16 May 2017
Hi everyone, Recently it has come to my attention that the older version of the game had something wrong with it where some antiviruses picked up a false detection (bitlocker mostly). I'm truly sorry about this, I have now idea how that happened. I've updated the game with the newest version of NWjs and tested with bitlocker, so it seems to be fine now. I've also fixed a couple issues I found with the game. If you find anything else please let me know. Thanks!

- About the OSX and Linux versions - 23 May 2016
Hi everyone, As some of you know and I've mentioned in the bug report thread, I'm having a lot of trouble updating the game. I decided to explain it better in an announcement. Basically, Dreaming Sarah is made using a program called Construct 2. It's a game making program that works much like RPG Maker if you have ever used that, but in my opinion it's a little more robust. This program mainly builds your game in HTML5. This means that the only native way that you can get your game working is by running it on a browser, like Chrome of Firefox. So, to make my game run on Windows/OSX/Linux platforms, I had to rely on a tool called NW.js. This tool takes a HTML5 game and wraps it in a executable for these OS's. When I first released Dreaming Sarah, it worked great for all platforms. I had a rough time testing it (since I only have a Windows PC that isn't even that good) but after a lot of…
