Comment by Julian Sykes on January 31, 2013 at 4:06: We are really happy to announce the name of everwake's sequel will be called reverie. We can also confirm that it will take place at the end of May and the game will run for a number of nights taking place in Cardiff.

Stay tuned for more information and if you want help out or volunteer for the project. Maybe as a chaser or steward that please get in touch. We will also be starting auditions for some of the characters in the next month or so. We will also be announcing the team as we go over the next few weeks.

Reverie is only made possible by support from Arts Council Wales, Chapter Arts Centre, Hoffi and course the designers themselves yello brick.

We have finally confirmed all of our locations for everwake and now need them to be set. Sets are going to be minimal as the locations should really be the star itself. However if you are interested in helping us create 13 locations each with their own unique feel then please get in touch.
