Baby-Horror?


Als Kleinkind kann die Welt voller unbeschwerter Wärme sein - und im nächsten Moment ein absolut schrecklicher Ort, wenn etwa unsere Mama mitten in der Nacht einfach nicht mehr auffindbar ist. Dieses Szenario greift Among the Sleep auf und baut daraus ein Horror-Adventure aus ungewöhnlicher Perspektive. Wir müssen krabbeln, um möglichst schnell voranzukommen und normale Türen in der Wohnung sind plötzlich echte Hindernisse. Das wir den Schrecken der Nacht vollkommen wehrlos ausgesetzt sind, ist natürlich auch klar.

Besonderheiten und Genre-Standard
Nur unser Teddy spendet ein wenig Trost und Licht, nachdem wir mal wieder vor einem bedrohlichen Schatten unter einen Schrank geflüchtet sind. Er ist es auch, der die Story großteils weitertreibt, denn sonst wird nicht allzu viel gesprochen. Wir irren durch teils sonderbare Welten, gefangen irgendwo zwischen Albtraum und Realität. Die Areale sind einfallsreich und stimmig designt und haben mich immer wieder an eine düstere Version von Alice im Wunderland erinnert.
Die Rätsel beziehen regelmäßig unsere mal mehr, mal weniger vorteilhafte Körpergröße mit ein. Insgesamt wird hier eine schöne Abwechslung geboten, schwierig sind sie aber eigentlich nie gewesen. So krabbeln und wackeln wir durch das etwa drei- bis vierstündige Abenteuer, dessen recht diskret inszenierte Geschichte mich zum Finale hin in ihrer Aufgeladenheit durchaus noch ein bisschen emotional erwischt hat.
Optisch merkt man dem Spiel den ursprünglichen Release 2015 in ein paar Aspekten, wie den nicht-dynamischen Lichtquellen oder den ziemlich künstlich wirkenden Figurenmodellen an - das Design der Spielwelten mit ihren tollen Farben und den Märchen-Einschlägen macht das aber wieder wett. Auch das Sounddesign kann auf voller Linie überzeugen. Wo das Spiel alles in allem zwar kein Kleinkind-Horror aber eben auch kein Amnesia ist, haben mir die Geräusche in der Umgebung immer wieder einen gut gelungenen Streich gespielt.

Inhalt der Enhanced-Edition
Diese Version hat mittlerweile die Standard-Version ersetzt und sie bietet ein interaktives Museum und einen Prolog für das Spiel. Letzterer verschafft dem Spieler einen etwas besseren Eindruck von der Situation der Familie vor den Ereignissen im Spiel und ich empfand die Sequenz schon fast als die gruseligste im Spiel. Eine gute Ergänzung - der Prolog ist allerdings nur über die Kapitelauswahl anwählbar und nicht standardmäßig bei Start der Story vorgeschaltet.
Das Museum samt Soundtrack und Artbook bietet gut aufbereitete Einblicke in die Entstehungsgeschichte bei den Krillbite Studios und alternative Visionen für das Spiel - lohnenswert, wenn man sich für Spieleentwicklung interessiert.

Persönliches Rating: 75/100

Fazit:

Among the Sleep verbindet seine ungewöhnliche Perspektive mit stimmigen Spielwelten und Rätseln, die gut auf das Kleinkind-Dasein zugeschnitten sind. Das Gerüst dahinter hätte aber gerne noch mit etwas mehr Überraschungen die Genre-Formeln brechen können.

Dieses Game hatte ich mal vor Ewigkeiten beim guten Gronkh geschaut und so schlimm fand ich das beim Zugucken wirklich nicht...bis ich es selbst gespielt hatte. Die Atmosphäre war verdammt gut. Hin und wieder entfleuchte mir auch mal ein kleiner Schrei. Für mein erstes richtiges Horrorgame sehr lobenswert, auch wenn es schon einige Jahre auf dem Buckel hat. Sehr klasse. Mir hat es gefallen <3

Für Einsteiger in das Horror-Genre optimal!

Ich habe mich verliebt! Ohne Witz, dieses Game ist für mich eines der am schönsten umgesetzten Horrorgames für Einsteiger. Nicht zu überdramatisiert, absolut nicht unfair und tolle Atmosphäre. Selbst die Rätsel sind nicht zu schwer, aber auch nicht zu leicht. Eine wahre Freude durch und durch.
Grafik, Ton und Bild sind nicht das non plus ultra, aber mit viel Liebe und Hingabe gezaubert.

Fazit: absolut eine Empfehlung!

Mit den Augen eines Kleinkindes suchen wir das leere Haus mitten in der Nacht nach Mami ab. Was ist passiert? Woher kommen die Monster? Die Wahrnehmung des kleinen Sprosses ist vermutlich etwas anders als die Realität, doch wahrscheinlich nicht schlimmer.

Pro:
- Emotionale Geschichte eines traumatisierten Kleinkindes
- Gruselatmosphäre
- Hübsche Grafik und interessante Rätsel

Con:
- kurze Spielzeit

It's OK I guess... It's way too short (expect 2 hours of playtime AT MOST) and I wouldn't really call this a horror game, more of a low brightness puzzle game. It's good for people who never played horror games before and want to get into it. Also, it feels like more effort was put into the extras of the game (The Among the Sleep Museum) where they explain how they made it rather than the actual game itself.

Interesting view from the eyes of a baby on a very usual problems in family.
Great thing shown here is how an infant can try to interpret behavior of parents, their problems and arguments using just a small experience and knowledge about life.
Nobody is perfect, life situations can be not strictly good and bad, but more complex.
And when young family decides to have a children, already having problems in their relationship - this often leads to trauma for the kid.
I like such indie games, because they can ask hard, serious questions. And can show the consequences of our possible errors.
I enjoyed Among the Sleep. And can recommend you to do the same :)

Despite possessing a novel twist and diving in an interesting direction - the gameplay of Among the Sleep is insanely linear, repetitive and unengaging, which makes playing the game feel more like a chore than a fun experience. Although the design and atmosphere are clearly thought out and in places cleverly designed, it's not enough to save the game from putting the player to sleep.

It is, however, short which stops the game from dragging on. Would recommend if price drops or if the game is on offer for 50% off or more.

I was surprised by this game. I don't say that lightly, its a very short game, i completed the game in just over 2 hours. However the game is well paced and tells a interesting story regarding a very difficult subject matter. I am posting this review many months since i actually played the game, but the game has left such an impression that i can still remember the game like i played it just yesterday, hard to do these days.

If you want a solid game full of tension across the full 2 hours i recommend, if you want a game that lasts 30+ hours without substance then i donno, pick up far cry 5 or something...

I remember seeing this game back when it released and looked interesting since you play from the perspective of a little child with a big imagination.

Too bad i hate and i mean i hate horror games, but i can still appreciate what the devs tried to do with this game. It's just not for me.

1. Graphics and story 9/10 (Among the sleep is a game about the story of a little boy who lives with his murky mother. A divorced mother with alcoholism problems. For she fears that will be separated from her son. But the boy still doesn't understand the mother's situation and the game offers understanding from the infant experience. Despite being a short story, we immerse ourselves in surreal landscapes as a little boy. The landscapes are quite artistic, between surrealism and expressionism with vivid colours and contrast lighting. From that point of view, we can see something simple like a piece of furniture transform into a creepy creature that prowls in the gloomy places of the rooms. The character develops in the story and we'll see how he sees things and situations with strong expressions. Furniture, objects and places have undergone a metamorphosis from reality to the experiential understanding of the little boy. The only friend and guide is his birthday present, a teddy bear. A character who will help the little boy to return the memories of love between he and their parents. The adventure of this game takes place at night, in the dream of the boy and his bear in a sullen world.)

2. Playability 10/10 (The dynamics of the game is in the first person. The character movement is guided according to the children movement ability, crawling and slow walking. The game consists of exploration and solving some simple puzzles to progress through the story. And each object for the puzzle, in reality, is an important object with a sentimental charge. It has a meaning. There is also a visual narrative through drawings that show the emotional states between the little boy and his mother. These drawings allow a better understanding of the story. The character can interact with some objects and his teddy is our storyteller. A narrator who will tell us what to do in such situations, how to overcome an obstacle, as well as the implicit meaning of the objects to open doors. The adventure is a learning of the character and an experience of what he lives.)

3. Music and FX 9/10 (The soundtrack is composed of ambient music. Dark ambient sounds accompanied by drone ambient. Music often creates tension and mystery. Other times it appears as if it were all a dream. We'll not listen to lullabies, but rather a dark form of the tension of the little boy experience. Sound variations of objects, creatures, ambient tones. Like the surreal sound of the saxophone like the cries of his mother or brief sounds of the chimes of the bell accompanied by a background of rain sound. Music offers impressions of things and scenarios. Each thing and object has its music. The feeling that the developers have created with the music, is the involvement of the varied sounds and accompanied by the narration and the essential moments of the character. Variation of tensions from calm to anxiety. All those variations capture our impressions, as well as the image and the narrative. Music is the representation of the little boy experience and according to how he sees around him in his situation. The music also narrates his adventure.)

4. Duration 9/10 (Unfortunately, the story is short. But it's a story with a solid narrative structure. The journey is linear, but with the possibility of exploration. A prologue was added, where it indicates the way to play and an introduction to the story: a winter before the separation of the son with the mother. One can start with the prologue to get acquainted with the plot and dynamics of the game. Know the boy perspective and how he understands his home from his point of view. The game offers a different perspective, how children see everyday life.)

Recommendation: 10/10

Unlike most of my friends, I can't get enough of horror games. I loved Dead Space, I played the Forest and trolled the cannibals until they were about as threatening as a Chihuahua. But my god, was this game terrifying.

It's a pretty straightforward horror game - get from point A to point B and back again, with nothing but jump scares in between. But the environment is genuinely surreal, and I love it. There's nothing more terrifying than wandering around, only to turn the corner and see one of the baddies lumbering towards you. Playing as an infant gives you a neat sense of scale that's only built upon by the otherworldly environment.

So, if you're looking for a neat horror game, or just happen to like shitting your pants, Among the Sleep is absolutely worth a playthrough.

Among the Sleep is a really unique horror game with some rather dark and mature themes.
The story really should be experienced spoiler-free, so I'm not gonna go into it, but it's definitely a scary game, with interesting art design and a very creepy atmosphere. You play as a 2-year-old and see the world and the horror through the eyes of a child, which allows for some really interesting locations and terrifying monster-design.
It is rather short (around 2 1/2 hours) and doesn't overstay its welcome.

Press F to hug Teddy.

Conceptually one of the best games ever made, possibly. Being a 2 year old stumbling around in an uncertain and both fantastical & horrific world. It's somewhat light on puzzle and horror, but nothing less than amazing in terms of storytelling, atmosphere & design.

The heavy subject matter is married perfectly into the game world. Sound design is impressive. Perfect length too. The only downside I can think if, replaying it again in 2021 after playing it first time in 2015, is a certain character model and the occasionally clunky controls.

The added contents, achievements and tweaks were most welcome. Made me replay this gem and remember why it's so incredibly good.

Among the Sleep is a short horror adventure in which you see the world through the eyes of a toddler.

The story starts with a toddler and his mother celebrating his birthday.
They are about to eat his birthday cake when they get disturbed by someone knocking on the door.
Things start to get grim and he gets scared when he hears her yelling towards that person.
Eventually she returns with a big gift box with a teddy bear inside, which becomes his new best friend.
At night he wakes up because his bear is getting taken away so he decides to climb out of bed to go find it.
Its dark, the house looks terrifying and his mother is missing now too.
After reuniting with his teddy bear they agree on exploring the sinister home on the hopes of finding her.

Solve puzzles and explore a surreal environment that feels like a dream world,
accompanied with your teddy who guides and comforts you.
You also need to hide from a terrifying monster that haunts you while you try to collect items that represent memories associated with your mother.

The atmosphere is perfectly executed, it looks like a twisted world and it feels very tense.
I have to say that this game is very dear to my heart, it was very emotional and I had a hard time writing a review for it because whenever I think about the game it reminds me of my own past.
The ending makes so much sense and the story is truly heartbreaking.

In all honesty, I don't think my words can do it any justice and describe how amazing this game truly is.
But for me it's an unforgettable experience, that touched me deeply and left me speechless.

This is a prime example of why you should put kids in horror games .... or movies they just make the atmosphere 10 times worst

But other than that the game is quite glitchy walking on toys and getting tossed over to the other side of the room, i fell off the map 2 times just in the void, the ghost was gonna stuck if it was hunting you and there was one piece of wood or a corner so that would make it stop

other than that the game is pretty intense and creepy story also still recommended but for a low price

This game was really enjoyable and i was able to finish it in a sitting. Its around 3-4 hours so it won't take much of your time. I really loved how smooth the graphics was and how the story played out. This game had some great scares too and overall its just a clean cute horror game. I think this game is enjoyable for even for people who aren't a huge fan of horror games.

It was definitely hard recommending this one but overall I'd say it's a good game.
+ the story is very good
+ the way it's conveyed is original but also impactful
+ the characters are nice and the voice acting is great
- the save feature is THE WORST. Seriously, I lost like an hour of progress because of it.
- some parts are just not explained to you at all. like how doing certain actions will kill you or trigger the monster
- the camera can be shakey and I've gotten stuck a few times and had to hard reset
- the audio is super unnecessary at times. it doesn't need it to be scary, so there's no reason for the ear-rape at some points

Overall, the goods outweigh the bads, but they are still a big issue.

There is no manual save so you have to take breaks or quit when it hits a save point. I was placed on the edge of my seat the whole time. The ending and the enemy was not at all what I was suspecting ! It was a complete shock. The jump scares really had me up until I kept getting captured than I just kept getting irritated, the controls can be a bit glitchy but it did not make the game play anymore difficult than it already was. Make sure to collect all the doodles on the ground. :) I am proud to say this is the first steam game I played and completed all the way through!

This game is creepy, so I occasionally have to stop playing and regain some nerve. I mostly play exploration games because I lack precise hand-eye coordination, and Among the Sleep is great for this. The controls are not too difficult to master, and I can figure out what I need to do without worrying that there will be consequences for doing something wrong; even when I die, its a quick respawn and continue from where I left off. Looking forward to seeing where this game takes me next!

I like this game a lot. It's not gonna be scary enough to make you alt f4 as soon as you hear something, but it's pretty eerie. I like the story line so far and overall it a really well made game. The only reason i havent played over 2 hours and finished the game is because THERE IS NO AUTO SAVE. WHY!? I don't want to have to replay the first chapter or whatever 10 times!! You have to at least play an hour of the game each time you play it or it won't get saved. It will only save when you get to a new chapter which take around 30 to 45 mins (more or less) depending on how fast you play it. If I only have 30 mins but I want to play the game I have to MAKE SURE that I get to the next chapter for ALL of my progress to save. SMH. 5/10

Among the sleep is not quite your average horror game and is something beautiful.


First of all, allow me to say that you play as a little baby and come on how cute is that? :) Secondly, this game is a journey you have to experience for yourself if wanna recall how your imagination was like because we all know kids have a wonderful imagination and I am sure you had too as a kid. I sure had a crazy one as a kid and that's why I enjoyed it so much because of the dreams you explore so if you too wanna recall what that was like having crazy dreams and a wild imagination then Among the Sleep is nostalgia for you. Thirdly, You have a bear named teddy and I am sure we all had a protector against the dark as kids so that's probably something you can relate to as well.
Remember that spooky monster you were so afraid of as a kid? Among The Sleep captures the nightmares I rememeber somewhat as well as a kid and I also used to be scared of the dark and the creepy monsters in my bedroom as a child but Among The Sleep is actually much more than just a spooky horror game and behind it lies a very relatable story I found myself quite invested in but you will understand what I am talking about once you play it as I don't really wanna give away too many spoilers. Among The Sleep is a story I enjoyed for the narrative and themes as I found the story really good and honestly didn't expect it to be anything more than just a horror game. The monster here I will just talk about briefly as I feel it would be giving away too many spoilers if I talked about it too much but the monster to put it short is very nicely created and reflects this kid's childhood fears perfectly but also translates perfect into the reality this kid lives in so to put it short the design they gave the monster is great and I feel it tells you a lot about it just by looking at it in the game. Once you reach the conclusion to the game you will see the real true monster you have been hiding from and also come to realize what made it a monster. I am glad I finally got around to play it as I actually remember following this game when it was early in development and I do remember thinking at the time that it had potential and it sure had. A great game I highly recommend you check out if you like horror or if you are new to horror because it's not that jumpscare heavy or scary in my opinion but it captures the nightmares we had as kids perfectly and the imaginations we had in our childhoods. I do need to say that the game is pretty short and probably won't take you more than maybe 2 hours if you know where to go but it's the narrative or nostalgia there will keep you invested here so it's fine for what it is in my opinion.

This game unfortunately made me intensely motion sick, so after about half an hour of gameplay I was unable to continue. For other folks who get motion sick, it's worth mentioning that you can adjust the FOV, which is always a great feature. However, the head bob and climbing/crawling/etc animation is what made me sick as a dog.

However, what little I did see of the game looks intriguing- playing from the perspective of a toddler, dealing with life in what seems to be a troubled family without the capacity to truly understand the situation or do anything about it. I really feel like this would be an interesting game if only I could play it. This is why I'm recommending the game even though I was able to put so little time into it. I imagine I'll revisit this title in bits and pieces, but it's unfortunately largely unplayable for me.

Among the sleep was a fun indie horror game to play. The developers did a good job at creating an amazing atmosphere where you wonder the imagination of a young child! Some interactions in the story feel a little wonky and I tended to get lost a couple of times but it wasn't too bad to give the game a negative review by any means. Overall the game didn't take too long to beat but definitely worth the buy if you're looking for a eerie little adventure to pass the time one day.

One of my favorite thrilling little adventures. I played the game a few years back and I still found it enjoyable on a second run through. The game contains some sensitive subject matter like substance abuse, domestic violence and mental illness. I'd recommend it for a more mature audience. The concept of seeing the atmosphere through a child's eyes is intriguing and enlightening.

I remember being blown away when I first heard the idea of this game. Being in the body of a toddler is such a unique way to experience a survival horror game. I was really excited to finally play this game and when I finally did for the first time, sadly, I was disappointed. I got halfway though the game and I was too bored to finish. Now, to be fair I was really stupid when I first played it. I got stuck really quickly and spent a lot of time trying to figure out where to go and what to do. Kind of unfair of me not to beat it, but recently I revisited it and actually played through it including the Prologue. I had no trouble figuring out what to do and I found it to be pretty easy and fun for the most part. I really liked the first enemy you encounter. Seeing it show up accompanied by the heart stopping sounds always managed to make me freak out. The second enemy... kinda blows. I didn't find it to be frightening at all and I was really disappointed. Another major issue is the bugs. Holy God there are so many bugs. You can clip through every wall when climbing. Parts of the map refuse to load, making me backtrack to spawn in that portion of the map again. It's kind of a buggy mess, but it's still extremely unique and can be a very intense and scary game at times.

Among the Sleep is a great concept for a horror game. Because I am a wimpy baby when it comes to these things, I fit right in playing as a toddler gripping his teddy bear for comfort.

The story for the game is also a great concept, and without spoiling much, provides a good explanation for the horror aspects this child is exposed to. I'm still unsure why the teddy bear is sentient, but I suppose I'll chalk that up to the overactive imagination of a toddler.

This was one of the first-person horror games I forced myself to play. It was not overly scary, and thankfully very limited in its jumpscares. If you're looking for a tamer horror game to get you into the genre, go for this one.

In Among the Sleep you play through the eyes of a 2 year old toddler. You see how he perceives reality and the things around him, and how even the most ordinary things can become scary and evil in the eyes of a little kid. It's a short story driven horror game with amazing atmosphere and design. The story isn't bland and the more you play the more you find out what it's really about and I love that the game took this path and explored this rather not often talked about subject. The sound is amazing and it helps a lot in scaring you well. It is actually a really scary game that gets me everytime I play it. This has got to be one of my favorite horror games and I recommend it to everyone :)

5/5

Among the sleep tells story in horror way, but as soon as you start play you realize that monsters, horror stories and overall fear can be sensed in our world, even more than some zombies or ghosts... Among the sleep is short, but very well written walking sim with easy puzzles. As you explore the strange world of your house you get a glimpse what is really happening in life of your parents, and how these events have impact on life and emotions of your child. This should be given to every person, who plans to have children. Good work devs!

Let's begin by saying that i recommend this only if you find it on sale. Although the game itself is very well made, it isn't worth the price. I finished it in less than 3 hours, taking my sweet time exploring the environment. One thing to note is that the devs clearly took a lot of inspiration from Amnesia, all the way down to the screen shake animation when the monster is nearby.

The Good:
Krillbite absolutely nails the world building and mechanics, making everything huge and out of reach. Even the most basic actions like walking over a small step requires you to press a button and climb it.
Hugging the teddy bear gives off a faint light to help you navigate a little better, but prevents you from performing any other action (except walking of course). Moreover, by making crawling faster than walking, you are required to choose whether to prioritise speed or visibility.
Overall, without going into too much detail, the devs did a great job making the player feel powerless.

The Bad:
This game is really just a story you are carried through. The world is extremely linear and there is no real challenge.
On the other hand, the controls are quite frustrating a times. Climbing over objects isn't always smooth, opening doors (which is by far he most common action) could have been made easier to perform.

In conclusion, a very interesting idea that I wish would have been developed a little further. This is, however, a great title to introduce a non-gamer to the survival horror genre.

A very disappointing game. Among the Sleep promises a unique dream like horror experience from the perspective of a child, but instead delivers boring puzzles in the dark. Rarely is there ever a legitimate threat, only on occasion will something slowly chase you, and then immediately forget about you when your out of site. Among the sleep can be completely played through with all achievements in about 3 hours. The story is nothing unique, just the by the numbers dysfunctional family that is expected for the protagonist of a horror game. No new insight on the family drama, no hot take, just standard mom is bad and dad is bad stuff. So don't waste the money, there are better horror games out there.

Pros:
  • Innovative story and scope of a game (A two year old!)
  • Nice use of childhood fears into gameplay features
  • Dark environments and ambient sound makes for a scary game
  • Realistic movement for a two year old
  • Simple puzzles, the likes of what a two year old could solve
  • Interesting story that touches rarely spoken issues
  • Easy achievements
  • Looks pretty good for such dark game
  • Art style is on point with the objective
  • Has a museum with lots of artwork, ingame models and extras


Cons:
  • I had textures and models pop in and out of existence
  • I had the terrain completely disappear from me once
  • I had a bug with a sound being played indefinitely
  • Game crashed on exiting it
  • Auto saves that don't really save your progress, nice
  • Game is surprisingly graphics intensive...
  • Extremely short play time, 4 hours while doing everything
  • Expensive for the play time you'll get out of it
  • Extremely easy, I finished the game without dying once!!
  • I only saw one of the 4 enemies, this is how easy it is!
  • Apparently, Teddy was always your friend from the beginning
  • Teddy's introduction makes it look like the obvious enemy
  • Story's cohesion to gameplay and maps is non-existent
  • Many game elements seem totally random
  • Walking simulator


Verdict: Expensive and short, high quality but low enjoyment, original but dull. It's a half-good game that unfortunately fails on the most important parts, fun and engagement. I was gifted this game, but if I had bought it, I would consider that I had made a serious mistake. It's not worth it. Good, but not good enough. I consider 2$ the most you should pay for this experience, and still, not sure it's worth playing at all.

This game is only barely getting the recommendation. I like the creativity and gameplay for the most part, but some of the controls are just so frustrating (e.g. turning a wheel, opening a window), a little more time making the interactions smoother would really make all the difference. Seeing as I played the enhanced edition I was hoping this would already be fixed.

I have mixed feelings about Among the Sleep. I didn't enjoy the gameplay enough to finish on my own, so I watched a YouTube playthrough. The story is rather dark, and feels sort of incomplete, like the first act or two of an arc.

This is 100% a game that I want a walking simulator of its environment like The Discovery Tour by Assassin’s Creed®: Ancient Egypt. There is a nice museum area that is partially what I want, but I'd really prefer to tour the entire gameworld, not just artifacts and select setpieces.

Genuinely a fantastic romp through a dreamlike horror setting. Buggy at times-- the detection system is a little jank-- but for the most part, just a generally fun time! The addition of a 'museum' to see what the game was like in stages of development is a great add as well, and instantly gives this a hefty boost in my eyes. Definitely pick it up when it's on the cheap.

This is a beautiful game with a lot of symbolism. Don't take what you see in this game literally and you will understand the storyline. You play as a toddler and a toddler's view of the world is quite different from ours so his idea of what is happening is quite a bit more fantastical than reality. Totally worth getting if you like being spooked but don't want Silent Hill levels of spook.

The game isn't that scary although it has a scary setting. It's nice to move around and see things from the toddler perspective and the way the story was wrapped up it was quite nice and makes you wonder what goes inside our heads as a child. It's not something that will blow your mind but you can still enjoy it.

Among the Sleep (Enhanced Edition) is a short walking simulator played from the perspective of a 2-year-old. It only includes ultra-light puzzling elements and nearly no story at all. Graphics and animations are nothing to write home about, especially for an enhanced edition that supposedly includes 'improved visuals'. More importantly, some bugs remain in this enhanced edition, most notably clipping issues which force you to restart the chapter because you're hopelessly stuck.

All things considered, Among the Sleep isn't a bad walking simulator, but if you're not a megafan of the genre or if you have plenty of good walking sims in your backlog, you're good and can safely skip this one. This conlusion, coupled with the fact that the regular price for this game is just plain ridiculous for such a short experience, made me decide to not recommend Among the Sleep.


Story



Since I want to avoid spoilers, I can't talk about the story, as the entire story can be perfectly written out in one short sentence.

Suffice it to say the developers have created a world for you to explore, which they believe may represent how a 2-year-old would interpret certain actions by his parents that don't make any sense to a toddler.


Gameplay



Gameplaywise, Among the Sleep is a run-of-the-mill walking simulator, although maybe I should say crawling simulator because the toddler's walking speed is very slow, whereas his crawling speed is an acceptable speed to not get annoyed by slow movement speed, which some short walking simulators use as a way to artificially increase playtime.

You have to find your way through the game, which is divided into four chapters. Each chapter has a slightly different type of setting, with everyday objects sometimes looking eerie from the perspective of a 2-year-old.

The puzzling aspect of the game is limited to finding your way in the (mostly dark) game world or finding a keylike object needed to continue. So I don't have a clue what the promise of 'enhanced puzzles' in the developers' description of the enhanced edition means.

Often, you're required to interact with objects by clicking and dragging, for example to open doors or move a chair to a cupboard so you can climb the chair and then climb onto the cupboard. The game handles these interactions in a very clunky way and therefore they often get frustrating to perform. Sometimes I saw an object I thought I should climb onto but my gurgling avatar refused. After looking around for a while and finding no alternatives, I went back to the same object and found out I was supposed to climb it, but it only works when I face the object from a certain angle.

In the second half of the game, you'll sometimes encounter a ghost/wraith/spectre that you need to avoid or it's game over. This is a mechanic that a lot of walking simulators use to add a horror element to the game. While I've come to hate games that only revolve around avoiding a 'game over monster', its sporadic use in the case of Among the Sleep didn't bother me at all. The only time the creep actually caught me was when I got stuck due to a clipping issue. I got stuck several times while playing Among the Sleep, even when I was two minutes in, and the only way to solve that situation is by reloading, which means restarting the chapter or a large part of it.

I'm glad Among the Sleep allows the player to rebind the controls. You can also adjust mouse look speed, which definitely is a welcome option because I found the standard mouse look speed ridiculously fast, something which a lot of players have written in reviews and on the forums. I'm glad I didn't need to fiddle around with my mouse's dpi settings, which would have discouraged me and maybe I wouldn't have bothered to play the game at all.


Graphics and sound



Since the developers boast that the enhanced edition of their game has 'improved graphics', I would not have wanted to play the previous edition of Among the Sleep. I definitely don't consider wonderous graphics one of the main requirements to enjoy a game, but Among the Sleep's graphics are basic and often even crude. Animations aren't very smooth either.

The soundtrack is a much better aspect of Among the Sleep. I don't remember hearing any music, so either it was forgettable or there wasn't any, but the constant eerie ambient sounds and creepy sound effects are great and they add a lot of atmosphere to an otherwise mediocre experience, which is probably the main reason why this game doesn't completely feel like it deserves a 'not worth playing' tag. Though I do understand that some people have an issue with the game constantly playing eerie ambient sounds, even when there is no danger at all.


On Steam's extra features



Among the Sleep has 6 Steam Trading Cards. You'll get 3 while running the game.

For me, the Steam Achievements turned out to be a necessary addition to Among the Sleep. Six of them require you to find a collection of drawings that are scattered throughout each chapter. This meant I had some sort of goal the whole time besides simply crawling and climbing towards the finish line. I don't think I would have finished this game without its Steam Achievements, which is something I don't think I've ever felt before. I'll also add here that this game has zero replayability as far as I'm concerned, especially after having unlocked all of the achievements.

Besides the collectibles, there are three achievements that require you to perform some completely optional tasks in the game and one final achievement is awarded for completing the game, bringing the total to 10 achievements.

Usually I'm not a big fan of horror games because they are mostly running away from an enemy, hiding somewhere, then waiting for it to leave to complete a task, and that's the game for 8+ hours. This game is not like that. There is one section that is similar, but the time you have to move around is a lot so it's not a super huge issue for me. The way the game tells the story through memories and some hints through drawings you pick up is pretty neat. The ending is definitely worth going through this 2-3 hour game.

Also, thanks for supporting Linux! :)

A decent short walking simulator. There were some puzzle elements but nothing too crazy. It's not a horror game per se but it has some jump scare elements and the atmosphere/level design are really well done. Pretty easy to get the achievements as well.

The game doesn't work not all anymore and the devs have abandoned it. They don't even reply on the forums! Don't waste your money on this broken game.

A quirky game. Fun. Short. Uncomplicated. Altogether worth the playtime.

So my wife played this game (she is new to games) and I did backseat gaming. It was pretty hilarious to watch her get scared and fumble around in the game.

The game is pretty short (2-3 hours) depending on how fast you can find the items you need for certain areas. I'd recommend this game for those wanting to explore games that include 3D exploration, light puzzle-solving, light-horror, platform, story-rich.
