Among the Sleep

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

I did completed this game in a couple of hours. But in all honesty that wasn't a big issue for me, as the game itself was quite interesting, engaging and enjoyable experience for the short time I played.

I wouldn't really call it a 'survival' game, but the few points you need to avoid things are rather harrowing when you actually come across them and play in well with the build up.

The world design is also very cool and greatly reflects the 'toddlers imagination'. This combined with the horror elements of the game fit in perfectly with the overall theme and atmosphere.

The teddy bear companion is also a nice touch. Particularly if someone who can relate to using one for comfort as a child. And it gives that same effect while playing the game.

Overall, a unique take on the indie survival horror genre, and brilliant if you want something mostly casual to get through in a night.

7/10

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.

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.

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.

Great and unique little psychological horror game

Positives:
-Atmosphere
-No cheap jumpscares
-Sound design

Negatives:
-Controls are littlebit janky but you get used to them really fast

3.5/5 I would recommend to anyone who enjoys horror games.

If you want achievements do not play on linux or steamdeck they do not pop. Has to be windows apparently. Otherwise it was a fun game.
