Christopher M. Brendel, creator of Lifestream and Shady Brook, has changed the name of his upcoming game, Awaken. It is now to be released under the name Stonewall Penitentiary. The game's site has also been moved to a new location.

Expected in the third quarter of this year, Stonewall Penitentiary throws you in the shoes of William Thane who, along with six others, wakes up in an abandoned prison. Things turn ugly when they discover that their captor is a demented killer.

The game is played from a first-person perspective and is promising a combination of Agatha Christie's novels and Hitchcock's classics.
