When you hit Esc to bring up an option menu, the character actually covers their eyes - a brilliant little feature that fits perfectly in the game's nightmare aesthetic. When the surreal settings become darker hugging teddy can light the way for a short period of time. Taking control of a toddler who can crawl or briefly walk around his environment the player is also accompanied by a friendly talking teddy bear. You can pick up small objects and push or pull larger ones, but everything feels a little slow, a little clumsy - just like a child. Among the Sleep is ultimately a first-person exploration game.

For a game that's just in Alpha, Krillbite's design is astounding. Everything is rendered from a child's viewpoint, with surreal lighting and spooky corners.

The Kickstarter project puts you in the footie pajamas of a toddler who wakes from a nightmare into a dark, scary nursery. Sometimes it means being two years-old, with cute fuzzy pajamas and a teddy bear.Īmong the Sleep is played from the perspective of a small child of indeterminate sex. Sometimes it means spending hours thinking 'Just one more turn' as you craft the destiny of a city or an entire civilization. Sometimes that involves hordes of undead zombies, or a rocket launcher and the literal forces of Hell. Every now and then, someone has a fabulous idea in gaming.
