    Among the Sleep is an unique Horror Adventure with an interesting story and fun gameplay. The short but very immersive experience is something no fan of horror games should miss.

    Sound effects are done well and I request gamers to use headphones, when turning 2 years old again. It really adds to the overall ambience of the game, which is very scary.
    More than once have I been reminded of my earliest childhood memories and fears. It sometimes is, simply put, terrifying.

    Controls are o k a y. Nothing more.
    A bit clunky at times, it might go on your nerves, but it's nothing one would start hating the game over!

    The story, I haven't experienced yet, at least not to full extent, which is why I cannot really rate anything here. What I DO can say is this: from what I have seen up to now, the story is all right and fits perfectly into the rest of the "set".
    If you bring the right "setting" for this game, I guarantee, you will have a lot of fun with it! And it mighgt give you shivers at times and remind you of the creeps you experienced, when you were a little child.    … Expand

I had zero clues what game she wanted to see me playing, even went googling stuff like "game with kid in pyjamas". By coincidence, a good friend of mine from Norway was playing this and he told me how much he loves it. When i went on the store page i have realised this was the game my kid wanted. I didn't want to buy it at first, wanted to check if it is a proper game to present to children, but meanwhile my friend asked me to check my mail (he gifted it to me). Anyway i went into it right away and i was amazed by the beauty of this concept. The game is creepy, but at the same time, you realise you are seeing it through the perception of a little kid at the age from which we don't really remember anything. (at least i don't) so it stimulates your curiosity. I only got to chapter 3 so far, i have played it with my kids on my shoulders and because they had to go to sleep, they made me promise that i will not continue one single bit without them witnessing it. The game is a jewel, a work of art. It is a product that delivers satisfaction. I totally recommend it. Looking forward to seeing more games like this one. Good job, Krillbite Studio!… Expand

    Ending 9:10 I wasn't necessarily expecting what happened and the feelings that I had. It felt like the whole game was building up towards this moment, and taking in the visual queues before it didn't leave me any less slack jawed.

    Overall a great game and way to spend 2 1/2 - 3hrs. Take your time and appreciate the ride, journey, and attention to detail that this team has put into it.    … Expand

And surprisingly my 120,000 subscribers agreed after they saw the playthrough or just played it themselves. Of course it all comes down to speculation and opinion but honestly I'm shocked... angered to see this game with a 66 next to it. You give Call of Duty Advanced Warfare an 83? SSX received nearly a perfect score. Remember Far Cry 2? You gave that an 85 despite the entire gaming community showing up on that page to tell Metacritics how wrong they were. 168 positives, 75 mixed and 180 negatives says something guys.... WoW expansions get a safe 85 too... wait a minute, Metacritics you really like 85 don't you? Despite that score the WoW fans went on to say some of the expansions weren't all that great... and these are people who actually know the game and most have played since Vanilla WoW so obviously their knowledge on the subject surpasses critics who pick it up do a few raids than move on to their reviews.

    So why go so harsh on indie games and give the cookie cutter vanilla games that never change a damn thing showing other gaming companies "hey if it ain't broke don't fix it" when the truth is... we should be rewarding games that actually try do something different. Games that take chances and go above the norm to bring something new to the table. No? Screw that we just want the same old stuff every time? It's really disappointing to see that coming from the people who are responsible for setting the example of what good games are. I got nothing against Far Cry, Call of Duty or WoW I've actually played those games and enjoyed them. And don't bother saying CoD Advanced Warfare actually tried doing something different. They saw Titanfall, Destiny, Borderlands and Defiance then said "okay people still like guns but futuristic stuff is what's popular now... let's copy that" well fantastic. Hell even their little brother Treyarch covered that genre already with Black Ops 2. Personally I prefer Treyarch CoD but anyways.

    Among the Sleep didn't deserve that 85? Why? It didn't steal from Amnesia (The Dark Decent not the piggy one) by having inventory and sanity effects? It wasn't a long game? Maybe because it wasn't that scary? Is that what makes these games good? Amnesia was a masterpiece yes, but leave it alone. It was special in it's own regard. This game wasn't supposed to be all that. It wasn't even marketed as a really scary game, it was labelled more along the lines of dark and creepy. This was about the story, the immersion, the experience and the atmosphere. And in those aspects this game succeeded.

    This game has easily one of the most gripping story's I've ever seen in a game. Oh sorry it didn't have a happily ever after cop out ending... sorry it made you think. Sorry this game actually tries to give the player something else to think about. While games are a way to escape reality, this game was about a toddler trying to escape his own. But when the game ends it pulls him back, saying imagination is alright but eventually we must face reality. I guess when a game reminds you of reality it becomes bad? Graphics... amazing. Level design... incredible. Imagery... among the best in gaming. Sound... beautiful. Story and atmosphere... you know what? I'll say it, that ending hit me harder than The Walking Dead did. I know I know... that's one of my favorite games of all time. I've regarded Walking Dead to be one of the best games I've ever played. Not saying this game out did TWD no no... but in a much shorter amount of time the game was able to make us care about the main character, the story.... we genuinely worried about the mother and most importantly we hoped nothing bad happened to that Teddy Bear.... or maybe that last one is just me but I loved that teddy.

    There are so many hidden things regarding this game. The monsters and what they really are... why they are portrayed in that way. Even the monster's mechanics explain the story. BUT I will not spoil this. Nope. This is like 6th Sense level of endings. It's a heavy spoiler... so heavy it will ruin the game. So no, I will just say play it. Metacritic... if you want people to take you seriously you'll reconsider that score.    … Expand

    CONS: A bit expensive on steam. Minor graphical glitches, audio might cut out a few times, and the biggest complaint from players is length. The game is about 3 hours long if not rushed.    … Expand

    From the point of view of a two years old kid, it's totally scary. What makes the game much more interesting is that the developers successfully managed to give you the feeling that you're really a two-years old boy. An unusual concept even for the experienced players of horror genre and thus worth trying.

    The most enjoyable nightmare you’ll ever have
    Among The Sleep is an Adventure horror game where you play as a toddler.
    The story starts on your birthday and you’re given a teddy bear as a gift, the rest of the story you and your new friend take an adventure through the developing mind and imagination of a toddler growing up in a broken home.
    If you grew up watching rugrats or remember being terrified of silly things as a child, you’ll really appreciate the thought that went into the design of this game as a whole.
    The Closets are deep and mysterious, plants are like a forest, you’ll go through caves, creepy playgrounds, the basement, the game does a wonderful job at keeping you tense and anxious even if you stop yourself to make sense of your surroundings,
    much like when you were little it doesn’t matter if you keep telling yourself it’s just a coat on a rack, its dark and spooky, and you’re not about to get out of your bed to test your theory.
    A monster might grab your feet on the way there.
    But if you get scared, all you have to do is hug your teddy.
    When you hug him he’ll light the area a little bit to make it easier to see.
    You can either walk or crawl in this game, and you can pick up items, pull items, and climb them. The gameplay consists of very easy problem solving like collecting 6 owls to weight down a sea saw/ teeter totter, or collecting a needed key for a lock, halfway through this 4 hour game if you take your time to explore and collect the drawings, you’ll start to notice a survival horror type creature that if it catches you you get a continue screen.
    These moments can be terrifying.
    All you can do is hide and sneak around it.
    Among The Sleep is more about its overall experience than it is it’s actually gameplay and that isn’t bad at all.
    The story is deep, the level design and immersion is near perfect.
    The friendship between you and your teddy is magical, and the horror elements are terrifying towards the end of the game, even after the pieces of the story all fall together.
    If you haven’t got enough of the story by time the credits roll, the console version of this game comes with the prologue dlc.
    If you’re not a trophy hunter you’ll likely miss it, because it’s buried in the chapter select, so make sure you play it, it will add about 30 minutes to your play time with equal quality of the main game.
    All in all there’s magic here, and you owe it to yourself to experience this game.

    If you like horror and 'outside-the-box' games, buy it!

    What can I add after finishing the game? Around the half I started getting afraid that it would turn into yet another 'collect 3 puzzles to unlock all 3 passages and off you go' kind of game. Fortunately I was wrong. It eased on that to focus on psyche later on. All in all a great thrill ride! It took me over 5 hours to finish the game (without getting lost).

    The only cons I've found are poor quality assets from time to time. Sub-par models and textures in the outdoor levels, some missing sounds (from interactive objects) and terribly looped sounds (washing machine). Lack of positional audio (binaural, HRTF etc.) is also a downside.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Among the Sleep is a freshly distinct title to the PC gaming franchise, which leads up to why I give it its 9 points.

    For an indie game, it's is almost one of the best of its kind. One thing being the good 3D graphics, despite the texture quality being a little bit on the low side, losing its 1 point. The game play keeps you on the edge of your seat as a baby having to deal with its mom disappearing due to a metaphorical storyline, making you ponder about all the possibilities. Leading to a climactic ending to which no one could have expected! The puzzles may be simplistic, but only adds to the realism that the main protagonist's mind is still developing as a young baby. Can't say that the game itself is very long, but it's a game you can play over and over and not get tired of the grim storyline and climactic events.    … Expand

    Among the Sleep does solid job of scaring the player without any gruesome imagery and very few jumpscares. The best comparison would be Layers of Fear: Inheritance and AtS got better gameplay by really integrating perspective of the little child into controls, but visuals are slightly worse, which is important for the walking sim.
    Overall Among the Sleep is short but very enjoyable experience.

    Excellent game, giving the opportunity to see the adult world through the eyes of a little girl, to experience and realize the sad story from the "look from below". It also provides an interesting approach to seeing the world through the eyes of the child as a whole, as not all people remember how things looked to them were already commonplace.

    Atmosphere at the highest level. The    Excellent game, giving the opportunity to see the adult world through the eyes of a little girl, to experience and realize the sad story from the "look from below".

    This game have a so low score. Among The Sleep, not a long game, but have a good and 'w-ow' atmosphere. You love games like a Little Nightmares? Among the Sleep has the same atmosphere as LN. GG - Good Game!!

    The story is good, nice horror game but I had issues with the movement and sometimes I just stood there and didn't understand what to do.

    Given it’s a fairly short playthrough I wouldn’t be paying full price for it… but if you can get it on sale it is worth getting if for no other reason than to see another form of terror placed into game form. Jump scares have nothing on the impact this has.

    Among the Sleep is yet another good example of a successful game made possible thanks to Kickstarter.

    Here we have a stylish and original horror adventure, which manages to scare. The ending is quite thought-provoking. The game is quite short, but the time spent on it is definitely quality time. [Aug 2014]
