Sleep Awake: PS5 Platinum Trophy Guide

Sleep Awake

PS5

Sleep Awake does not require a second playthrough if you complete the collections on the first. There is no documented chapter selector for cleanup. Start three lists in the prologue: microfiche, tape players and Void Shadows. Watch for electricity, the chessboard and the instrument; they occur at specific story points.

PS5 base game with 24 trophies. Shows where to find missable actions without revealing the ending.

  • Difficulty: No required difficulty setting
  • Missables and cleanup: Collectibles from prologue to chapter nine; check actions in chapters three, seven and nine
  • Online: No online trophies

Start tapes and microfiche in the prologue

Before leaving The Flat, use the first tape player and take the first microfiche from the table. Try the reader for Keeper of Records; collecting a card and using the machine are different actions. Mark each tape player after playing it. Passing it during the story is not the same as using it.

  • Check the first tape and microfiche before moving on.

Take the shock before cutting the power

In chapter three, look for the room with the person being electrocuted. Touch the live area before using the lever for Ride the Lightning. Check The Crush's pickups too: after climbing from the box, inspect the electrical machine for a microfiche; beyond the turnstiles, look behind the stairs once you regain control.

  • Get Ride the Lightning before turning off the power.

Check Amma's tape player and Katja's desk

Late in chapter four, after leaving the infusion for Amma, use the tape player in the background before continuing. At the start of chapter six, after shutting off the water with the lever, turn back to Katja's desk for the microfiche. These detours sit near main objectives, but story progress does not log them.

  • Track tape players by chapter even when a scene seems to be over.

Take the chess piece to the board in chapter seven

Solve the puzzle in Ian Pearse's room. Take the card and chess piece from the space behind the picture, then use the card on the door at the end of the corridor. Go down and use the chessboard. Before leaving The Crush, check chapter detours: after the father's tapes scene, descend into the mist and look on the boxes for the microfiche.

  • Picking up the piece is not enough; place it on the board.

Play the father's instrument before the final stretch

In chapter nine, reach the father's room and interact with the instrument at the back for Strike a Chord. Before moving on, check the three collection trophies: find the cards, play the tapes and encounter the eight shadows. With those complete, continue through the remaining chapters to finish the story.

  • Check Strike a Chord before leaving the room.

Frequently asked questions

Can I pick up a microfiche after finishing?

PlayStation guides do not document a chapter selector. Check each collection before transitions to avoid having to restart.

Do I have to die for Ride the Lightning?

No. Taking the shock is sufficient. In chapter three, use the live area before switching it off.

Does Keeper of Records finish the microfiche collection?

No. It rewards the first use of the reader. Microfiche Volumes Complete requires all the cards.
