Asleep developers announce final chapter and gameplay update

Black Hole Games and CriticalLeap have announced that the final chapter of the Brazilian psychological horror game, Asleep, is now available to wishlist on Steam. The announcement coincides with the Steam Scream Fest V.

In addition to the final chapter news, developers released update 2.1.7 for the first two acts of the game. This patch introduces several gameplay and technical improvements, including the ability to review collected documents via the pause menu and the addition of ‘Barks’—dynamic text that reveals the protagonist Ana Lucía’s thoughts during specific situations.

The update also features visual and auditory enhancements, such as new fog effects, improved character movement, and adjusted enemy behaviors where creatures can now hide in holes when startled by a flashlight. Technical fixes were also implemented to resolve progression blockers, specifically an issue in Act 2 following a well scene, and improved font support for Chinese and Japanese languages.
