Product Description

Among the Sleep is a horror game, played in first person from the perspective of a two year old child. The child wakes up in the middle of a dark and scary night and starts looking for mommy. This is not a simple task as the house is full of scary sounds and strange shadows in the closets. Solve puzzles, hide from monsters and waddle your way through your big house to get to safety. But most importantly, don't forget to squeeze your teddy when the creepy sounds scare you.

Wow. This game was visually awesome, great game play, not too hard. The ending will pull at your heart strings, especially if you had a parent like mine that was physically abusive and an alcoholic. I cried.
Definitely worth the buy, game play is a little short however, if you play it through, maybe 3 hours of game play.

Bought this for my daughter’s birthday. We loved it! Doesn’t matter what age you are, it’s a fun, creepy game. It took us about 7 hours to get through it. Worth every penny!

OK, one-time play, but replay value low.

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2016

The game has an interesting premise that I don't think I have ever seen before--you play as a toddler who received the gift of a teddy bear on his birthday. The bear is sentient and acts as a guide through the game. The scares are actually surprising given that you're playing as a toddler, but it's not a straight-up horror game, more of a suspense game with a few interesting twists.

As far as why I gave this three stars--the mechanics are a bit difficult at points. Some people have said this is intentional, since your character is a toddler, which does make sense, but is frustrating nonetheless. I had some issues with glitches at points--trying to pick things up that, on screen, looked like they weren't being picked up but were still saved as retrieval points anyway. The puzzles do get a bit repetitive, but the game is short enough that the redundancy doesn't begin to annoy. The main reason I have trouble giving this a higher rating is I don't see this having a really high replay value. I got through it in about five hours (and I'm pretty terrible at games). The game is very story based, and once you've seen the story and solved the simple puzzles once, there isn't really that need to go back in an re-experience it for new outcomes (as there are none). Play is 100% linear, and it is not open world, though the graphics are interesting and the design of the various levels was effective.

Overall, this was a nice evening of play but I don't know if I'm going to be picking it back up again at some point in the future. This may become a dust collector on my shelf.

Horrible game. I stopped playing within an hour!

My girlfriend and i thought the game seemed like a different type of horror games and the trailers and previews online fooled us enough to buy it.
But this game actually sucked big time. I have no idea how this game scored a 7.3/10 on IGN and 66% on Metacritic.

The game is just horrible from the laggy game play to the glitchy controls and dark bad graphics. I gave it a few fair chances assuming that i need to get used to it but we both just hated it.

First person exploration of a scary world from the eyes of a child and his teddy? Yes please!

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2018

This game met my expectations and many times, exceeded them. The premise was refreshing as I think the makers have developed a new subgenre. They really spent time working out what the world looks like to a child and it's very impressive. I think this game can be added to a small pile of games that make a strong case as to the need of video games as a medium for expression that fills a void other mediums cannot.
If this review makes you curious about the game, pick it up. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Super short. And not scary

Super short game. About 5 hours. Controls lack that final touch. Graphics are PS2 quality. The overall story is lacking.

You will find the movement mechanics mildly difficult but that is INTENDED as you're just a child and its not easy to maneuver y

This game will scare you. Its based on the perspective of a child when his mother is not around and what he goes through, and that though itself is very scary! You will find the movement mechanics mildly difficult but that is INTENDED as you're just a child and its not easy to maneuver your way through the house / outside. The puzzles are not difficult to understand or pick up on - you won't need any kind of internet guide for this one. Play it with a nice set of headphones if you want a truly great experience!
