Among the Sleep

Among the Sleep is a game that shows the world in a simple but very powerful way through the eyes of a small child. The whole experience has something quietly sad and unsettling about it, because under the light horror layer there is a story about family problems and their impact on a child's mind. You can feel a breakdown in relationships in the background, which affects everyday life and the sense of safety.

What stands out the most is how the game interprets reality. Things that would seem normal for an adult turn into disturbing visions here, where the world becomes distorted and even a close person can feel like a threat. The mother's alcohol problems and the tense home situation are never shown directly, but you can feel them in every part of the game.

Even with its simple gameplay, Among the Sleep leaves a strong emotional impression. It is a short but powerful story that focuses more on feelings than action, and it stays in your mind longer than you might expect.

i remember falling asleep to let's plays of this game when i was small, playing it myself made me very happy

If you come from a family with alcoholics, you're gonna cry.
Great game, very emotional experience for me.
I probably won't play it again, though - very rough.

Teddy is going to get you! But that's another game...

I don't know what's more creepy the teddy bear or the fact that a mother gave her child this creepy ass teddy bear!

Most, if not everyone has had nightmares of some kind, if you don't or haven't experienced a nightmare then you either haven't had a reason to, forgot ever having one, or you're a psychopath of some kind.

Anyhoo, I'm not especially fond of very many Horror games. Most of them are more about jump scares and don't do very well at storytelling side of things. This game on the other hand is a great adventure game and does a decent job of telling a creepy horror story. The design of the characters and world are pretty well done for its time.

7/10

A Horror Game that will make you cry like a baby.

Well, you're actually playing as a baby, your Teddy Bear is your best friend and helps you feel safe.

Most time of the game you simply explore everything.
Game is very short, but it's worth checking out.

I remember watching gameplay of this game as a kid, thinking it was just like any other horror game at the time, so I had planned I would play it when I grew up.
Here we are and I finally did so. But I wasn't here for the scares anymore. I was here for the story, and it was pretty good and an original take. It's pretty emotional if you try to be in the protagonist's shoes and try to understand how they feel about their situation. There's a piece of truth and reality in this game.
Game mechanics such as crawling to go faster caught me off guard, but they do have their charm! It is a short 2-3 hours long game (counting the prologue) which deserves people's attention.

Love this game so much! I remember being little and watching play throughs of it- and now I played it for myself!
10/10!
