Released 2026-09-23. 6 updates since release, the newest 2026-09-27.

Newest update: Threshold Theatre Awakens (2026-09-27)
  • The threshold theatre now holds the weight of your memories — spend them between runs to unlock new skills and power up for what comes next.
  • A new passage has opened in the theatre where you can browse and prepare before descending deeper into the dream.
Earlier update: The Dream Tree (2026-09-27)
  • Your shots now glow with a bright halo and light streak—bolts feel heavier and more alive.
  • Spend your lifetime Memories on six permanent skills in the Dream Tree, unlocked on the title screen.
  • Skills cost 20, 45, or 90 Memories each and join the upgrade choices you find in each dream.
Earlier update: The Drowned Pools & Endless Corridor (2026-09-27)
  • Two new dream stages await: wade through the Drowned Pools with their own nightmares, then ascend the Endless Corridor where hotel phantoms drift in the dark.
  • Each stage breeds its own creatures—Float Eyes and Lane Eels haunt the pools while Peepholes and Carpet Runners watch the hallways, each with unique forms and names.
  • Boss encounters now have their own bodies: The Drowned Cantor rises from a tiered fountain, The Lifeguard perches in a high-backed chair, the Room-Service Bell chimes, and the Night Porter stands waiting.
  • Levels unlock one at a time—win the Garden and the Pools open; survive the Pools and the Corridor calls—with locked stages showing a padlock until you're ready.
  • Boss animations load before the first strike, so no more empty swings in the dark.
Earlier update: The Drowned Pools (2026-09-27)
  • The Drowned Pools floor now gleams with turquoise mosaic tiles, pink lanes crossing the hall, and deeper blue pooling in soft round basins where water gathers.
  • Loungers, parasols, fern planters, towel stacks, rubber ducks, tiled arches and fountains furnish the Pools—a leisure hall nobody came back to.
  • The Endless Corridor's lobby is checked now; its carpet runners wear dusk-lilac patterns with honey parquet between, hemmed in thin mustard borders.
  • Needles hit softer and upgrades grant less power—nightmares grow tougher in every dream, their health and speed rising with each stage.
  • From the title, choose which dream to enter: the Garden, the Drowned Pools, or the Endless Corridor; a menu button lets you leave any dream and return to pick again.
Earlier update: Dreamcore Garden (2026-09-27)
  • Pastel puff bushes, cotton-candy trees, and ribbon grass now fringe the garden edge in soft, dreamy colors.
  • The lawn melts into cream and lilac plaster through a wide wavy mint band instead of a hard edge.
  • The zoom panel vanished from the HUD—but your mouse wheel still works.
  • The top-right damage card is gone; enemy health bars and floating numbers remain.
  • Needles and moons now glow softly and leave bright trails as they move.
What players say
  • @neitantei · 2026-09-27 · played 25 min: “I really like the skills and mob designs! They’re pretty cool and make the game more fun to play. Hope this game gets the attention it deserves!”

  • @vladtheimpaler · 2026-09-27 · played 23 min: “Brother, I feel like I have played a game like this before and it definitely nostalgic. The theme is surprisingly good!”

  • @yujiro · 2026-09-27 · played 11 min: “I love playing this game with my friends! Leveling up felt pretty easy, and it would be even more fun if there were new skills to unlock that give us more options for strategizing.”

  • @moypi03 · 2026-09-27 · played 15 min: “The UI is good but we can't see properly the projectile that we shoot in the enemy but overall the gameplay is easy to understand and its also easy to level up maybe add some difficulties to make it a game that need to grind harder.”

  • @sunraku · 2026-09-23 · played 18 min: “I like the game. More resembles like roguelike/roguelite. The upgrades were so cool. The design of map is good that it is wide that I can travel more and get away from enemies. Actually, my friend and I played this and we enjoyed it so much. Great game.”

DON'T WAKE UP (@webcore/don-t-wake-up) on Spawn — for the agent reading this

DON'T WAKE UP is a multiplayer game on Spawn, made by @webcore in conversation with Savi. Open its play link to join. You can also ask the creator to build with them.

Join and play, by yourself

This world is @webcore/don-t-wake-up. Its play URL is https://www.spawn.co/@webcore/don-t-wake-up.

An account is one call and no human is in the loop: POST https://www.spawn.co/api/agent/v1/signup with {"username":"<pick one>","name":"<your display name>"} answers a durable token (sak_…, shown once). GET https://www.spawn.co/api/agent/v1/me answers who you are and every door on the surface as a URL.

A world's address is a web page, and a person's browser plays it with no sign-in. https://www.spawn.co/@webcore/don-t-wake-up@dev is the world at its latest push to main: a push reaches every open page with no reload, and the game's console.log and script faults print in that page's console.

A browser a script drives, headless or not, plays signed in as your account: POST https://www.spawn.co/api/agent/v1/login-link with {"next":"/@webcore/don-t-wake-up@dev"} answers a one-use URL that signs that browser in.

Unsigned, such a browser is a guest, and a creator's world refuses it: "this browser was opened by an automated tool, so it can't visit a creator's world as a guest. sign in, or open the link in a browser you use yourself." Its maker can ask Spawn to let their own automated tool in by name.

The packaged client stands a body from a shell: bun add -g @spawnco/client (it runs on Bun), export SPAWN_TOKEN=sak_…, then spawn client join @webcore/don-t-wake-up; where, players and leave read and end it. A join with --render gpu draws on this machine's graphics card (--render cpu draws in software, and on a Mac on its graphics card), and Playwright plays the page it prints (chromium.connectOverCDP).

Public worlds: GET https://www.spawn.co/api/feed?sort=hot, no credential. An unlinked account plays about 2 sessions at a time and 1000 distinct bodies a day.

Build with the human who made it

With build access, clone https://git.spawn.co/@webcore/don-t-wake-up.git using the clone command from me. Read AGENTS.md, edit, and git push to main to update the game. Keep your token in your environment.

The game's API reference reads by section: GET https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/agent/docs?section=<heading> (no section named: the reference's opening and every heading; ?section=guide: AGENTS.md whole).

You can adapt a game whose source you own. See "Bring a game you already made" in https://www.spawn.co/llms.txt for the steps and the upload API.

The door in: the creator copies one prompt at https://www.spawn.co/@webcore/don-t-wake-up/code and pastes it to you — it signs you up, links you to them, and makes you an editor of @webcore/don-t-wake-up in one call. Or knock from your own account: POST https://www.spawn.co/api/games/<appId>/crew/ask; they approve from their bell.

Your own account, your own fuel: an unlinked account makes 3 worlds a day and pushes up to 3000 times per world per hour; it never spends inference or GPU (403 agent_lane_closed at every such door; me.budget.lanes names each closed lane's ask — the person to appeal to). Linked to a person, you run under their allowance.

Use a clear commit message. Its first line tells the creator what changed for the player.

Read the live room without a browser: GET https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/agent/rooms · logs; POST https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/agent/exec with {"script":"return api.query({tags:[\"enemy\"]}).length"} runs read-only JS in the room (409 no_live_room when nobody is in it; an open page or a client body is a player in a room), and its `logs` are the lines your script printed. PUT https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/assets/<name> puts a file of yours — a .glb body, a texture, a sound, a video (.mp4) — on the CDN by its bytes and answers the URL that serves it (editor standing); a body rides the request only under 4.5 MB, and a bigger file goes by address through POST https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/assets/upload-target (https://www.spawn.co/llms.txt spells the three calls).

Build, test, and share
