Wake to Hell is an interactive story game, self-proclaimed walking simulator, about a former surgeon, Lukifer Dredd, coming back to the hospital he feared to finish what was left to be done. The game, like the webcomic it is based on, is a commentary on mental health and workplace stress. It was also made as a way to practice programming philosophies inspired by Drummyfish.[1]
The game provides builds for Windows and Linux, utilizing mainly SDL2 for frontend code, but providing use of Raylib and SAF as well, although due to the game's in-development state, they have been left outdated.
Copyright Issue[edit]
Before Alpha Build 4's release, Wake to Hell came bundled with a file called "WTH.S3M", an edited version of Big Jim's Wake to Hell. As of Alpha Build 4, it is no longer bundled as a replacement MIDI was made. The January 10, 2024 "Copyright Exodus"[2] completely purged it and any other possible offending material from the source code and game.
