Wake Up, Lia! is out on Xbox Series X|S and PC. The Xbox Store lists it at $4.99, currently reduced to $3.99 in a sale it shows ending within two days. Eastasiasoft Limited is the listed publisher, and the store marks the game Optimized for Xbox Series X|S with Smart Delivery, Xbox Play Anywhere and Handheld Optimized support.
A precision platformer about nightmares shaped by bullying
The store describes a narrative-driven 2D precision platformer set inside nightmares shaped by bullying, following Lia through emotionally themed side-scrolling stages. The mechanical pitch is straightforward for the genre: short, hand-built stages, lethal hazards, repeated attempts and exact jumps.
Pairing that structure with subject matter about bullying is an unusual combination, because a precision platformer's core experience is repeated failure. Whether the repetition reinforces the theme or works against it is the question the listing cannot answer.
Co-op is local only, and that distinction matters
The capabilities list confirms Xbox local co-op for two players. It does not list online co-op. In practice that means both players share one system and display — a meaningful constraint for anyone planning to play with someone who is not in the room.
Play Anywhere and Smart Delivery address a separate question: they cover which versions a single purchase unlocks across supported Xbox consoles and participating Windows PCs, not how two people play together. The store also lists Xbox presence, achievements and cloud saves, with capabilities including 4K Ultra HD and 60 fps or higher.
What the listing does not establish
The store gives 7 supported languages and a TEEN rating for violence and blood, but does not state how the difficulty curve handles two players, whether assist options are available, or how long the 20 stages take. Sale pricing is time-limited and varies by region. NexusGG has not played the game.
At $4.99 before discount, the pricing places it among the cheaper Xbox releases of that week — Xbox Wire listed it at $6.99, so the store's figure is the lower of the two records and the one that governs. For a genre where the appeal depends almost entirely on how the movement feels, that low entry price does more to reduce the risk of trying it than any feature list on the page.
