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
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
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 Sarah.
Thanks once again, and sorry about the delay. ːsarahː

Awakening Sarah sneak peek
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.
Sarah can now grab ledges.
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.
Sarah will also be able to sing to resolve puzzles and maybe just for pure enjoyment.
And of course, we have some spooky new areas.
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 you can expect lots of great songs!
Awakening Sarah is still TBD. I'll keep you posted when there's a release date.
Once again, thanks so much for all your support! :fdisk::sarah5:

Version 1.5 update - bug fixes and false positive
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!
Update 1.3
Hi everyone,
I have pushed a new update for Dreaming Sarah. Here's a quick list of what has been fixed:
- OSX support fixes
- Linux support fixes
- Linux fullscreen fix, should work just fine now
