SLEEP AWAKE Original Game Soundtrack

From EYES OUT’s Cory Davis (Spec Ops: The Line) and Robin Finck (Nine Inch Nails) comes SLEEP AWAKE, a first-person psychedelic horror game set in a far future dystopian world where a mysterious affliction called "The Hush" causes people to disappear if they fall asleep. Alongside the game’s release comes the immersive original soundtrack, composed by Robin Finck, who also served as the game's co-developer and co-creative director. Blending brooding guitar motifs, immersive synth passages and evolving rhythmic pulses, the soundtrack is teeming with ominous tension and hypnotic transcendence, capturing the game’s emotional and existential depths and stylistic inventiveness. The first release from arthouse gaming studio EYES OUT, which was co-founded by Finck and veteran game designer Cory Davis.

For the soundtrack’s assembly, Finck undertook the monumental task of transforming hundreds of in-game stems and looping cues into a fully realized album experience. Working closely with former Nine Inch Nails member and fellow composer Charlie Clouser throughout the mixing process, Finck reimagined these fragments into complete compositions, adding bespoke intros and outros, carving transitions, and layering new sonic textures to create a cohesive listening experience that elevates the game’s dynamic audio into a cinematic record. Drawing from early desert recording sessions and years of iterative exploration, the soundtrack preserves the unsettling atmosphere of SLEEP AWAKE while evolving into something new—an immersive soundscape that heightens the game’s atmospheric intensity and surreal narrative.
