Among the Sleep: a first person horror game starring a toddler

Talk about High Octane Nightmare Fuel.

The official site is here.

Do want! This i'll be either the most horrifying game in a long time, or the most unintentionally hilarious romp of our generation.

There's something very primal about the video, sort of like The Ring.

It's extremely hilarious if you played Fallout 3.

Except in those scenes in the game not Everything Is Trying to Kill You.

What the hell was that at 0:35? SCP-610 victim?

Replacing monster lines with Neeson's one would be a cool mod though.

It was obviously the Slender Man.

If it was Slendy then that kid's fucked.

Looking at the website, it seems like the focus of the game at large might be more on surrealism than outright horror. Still, it looks creative if nothing else.

I like whewwww sound that comes when Slendyish thing comes Seriously, it sounds kind of funny

I'd hope the final product tones down the bgm/sfx. As it is, you don't really get a chance to react for yourself, just feel what the audio tells you to

Reminds me of Eternal Darkness meets Rugrats.

Which means I can probably render the whole game moot via the mental images conjured up by saying, "I'm a big brave dog..."

Non-horror surrealism would make this a nicely scary game. Sorta like a first-person Yume Nikki.

"Horror"

"Starring a toddler"

MUST PLAY FOR MANY LULZ.

It comes to down to whether the force causing that phenomenon is actively malevolent or not. If it's just a ghost trying to communitcate or the baby having a dream then it's just going to be a very surreal, lulz-worthy game. But if that thing is trying to harm it, or the devs try to be realistic with the hazards it poses... Christ, this game could be downright TERRIFYING.

I wonder if the "twist" will be that the kid was just imaginating it all.

My guess is that it'll be left an open question.

That's how it often goes in these sort of "dreamworld" scenarios, isn't it?

I don't see why this has to be a Lulz game or a Horror fest, investigating the mind could be enchanting, horrific, and surreal all at the same time.

Well it sure doesn't look like a Rugrats-styled game, that's for sure. The atmosphere strongly gives off that horror vibe.

I found that trailer hilarious without sound. Maybe it would actually be scary if I heard things clattering and moaning though. Regardless, it's one of those games that I'd probably buy just to encourage innovation in the industry - much like Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble.

This certainly is ........different to say the least. I'll keep an eye on this I think.

On Kickstarter for completion funds.
