Among the Sleep - Enhanced Edition

My first impression of the game was that of bemusement. I thought the idea of playing a game from the point of view of a toddler a refreshing and unique game mechanic. They did an excellent job of portraying the world from 2 ft high and lower and all the familiar stuff of grown up land becomes giant, strange, and difficult to maneuver. That impression slowly changed as the story began to unfold via childish drawings dropped in the dark corners only a little one could reach. Those drawings told another story, a story of horror and mystery that had me in its grip. I am not ashamed to admit that a few screams passed my lips, making my family jump and holler what was going on. There are moments of pure terror in the game, a tribute to story telling ability of the game with hardly any dialogue or set up. You are just dropped into this clumsy environment and left to it. I wont spoil the game but only say there is one heart wrenching moment that had me in tears. Brilliant game, totally novel and unique gameplay and utterly horrifying story. well done... well done.

The game is the second game ever, that caused a motion sickness for me (first was Alone in the dark 5), and I can even read books and play handhelds in trains and cars. It was really an EXTREME motion sickness, as I realized later due to continious random head wobbling of the child, even when not moving at all. Also the game is much too dark, I had to increase the gamma highly over the advised value to see anything in some areas. Also V-synch somehow did not work at all. As much I liked the demo of the game (no motion sickness observed), as much I was diasspointed by the final product. From my point of view, there was no "horror gaming" at all, but an artistically visualized psychological terror story. Also it must be mentioned, that the game contains the "Prologue DLC" which can only be started from the "chapter selection" menue, if you KNOW, that it is already integrated in the main game (now you know it).

this game is far too short, far too short because it is so good and far too short for such a price. It was a wonderful little game which was very interesting at times. I enjoyed the crawling and hugging function, very innovative and cute. The perspective was certainly interesting. I found myself carefrully crawling through the game, afraid of the monster, up until it showed up. After that I mostly powered through the levels and it only got me scared once or twice, but the enviroments are eerie and haunting. They're very creative and beautiful to discover. I will probably replay it once or twice. The ending was great, great but sad. Very sad, and unfortunately a reality for many.

Yes, it´s very short, but for this price it´s ok. Therefore you get a little creepy and atmospheric gem. There are also some jumpscares, but that´s not the main element. The essence of this masterpiece is the brilliant atmosphere that made my skin crawl. Every second of the game. For lovers of the Amnesia and Penumbria games. An for fans of the movie "The Babadook".

Heard about the game from few friends and had to check what it's all about. Have to admit, watching gameplay videos on youtube didn't had me, It looked dull and just another pointless horror adventure. I was wrong. I sat down to see what's the fuss is all about, no expectations ahead, but everything changed after 5 minutes of gameplay. It's a unique concept, a world seeing through a toddler POV with a real depth to the story and symbolism. Is it scary? Not really, a few jump scares here and there, but the real magic here is the hypnotizing nightmarish and very often psychedelic world that the player is immersed into. No spoilers: The ending scene was rough, unexpected.... Left me speechless really. It will get to you. Overall - Excellent game, very unique and although many people said it's too short, I find it to be very satisfying, and if it was longer, it would lose its magic.
