    It’s an original concept and a very unique experience. Not to sound like a broken record, but Among the Sleep feels like it’s over just as it’s getting into its groove and that’s really my only major complaint.

    Despite the great storytelling mechanics, I can’t help but wish there was a little more to the game. When all was said and done it wrapped up in a handful of hours at most and I was left craving more.

    Among the Sleep recreates a world between dream and reality, seen by a 2-year-old baby. It is intriguing and disturbing and tells an interesting story. However, it has some technical problems that can annoy some players.

    Among the Sleep is an interesting idea, but some details could have been made with more care.

    Among the Sleep gives a fresh perspective by looking at the world through the eyes of a two year old. The puzzles in the game get repetitive and are too easy.

    Among the Sleep would be a good buy at $9.99 or under. As it stands now, $14.99 is a bit too steep a price to ask for a game that is very short, and not particularly emotionally investing.

    The narrative goes to some nightmarish places, but it ends all too abruptly, and technical issues apply the sleeping cap to an already mixed release.

I genuinely felt uneasy with a tense increased heartbeat throughout the game. The concept is unique and playing as an infant really makes you feel vulnerable to the terrors that surround you in the fantastically macabre game world.

    The story is brilliant with a dark twist at the end that leaves you thinking long after you completed the game.

    The one criticism is that I wish it was longer. I only paid 6.00 so can't complain but really wanted to spend more time in the game world.

    I'd highly recommend a night of gaming playing Among the sleep.    … Expand

I did not expect such a plot twist and at that moment i said '' Wow,this game is really good'' . It looks fun and maybe immature at first, but you will realise to the end that the game has very serious themes...… Expand
