With childhood being such a huge component of the horror genre, this game offers a unique exploration of identification with the child character in horror. The game leans into the psychoanalytic implications of playing as a child.

The game's concept evoked a mixed response, but for the most part, the unique experience of playing a horror through the eyes of a toddler has huge potential for the genre. The game was originally released in 2014 after the studio received funding from the Norweigan Film Institute and a Kickstarter campaign. While games like Who's Your Daddy? made playing as a baby a whacky and fun adventure, Among the Sleep features a much darker plot where the toddler, David, traverses a surreal nightmare world after witnessing his parents arguing.Īmong the Sleep was developed by Norweigan developer, Krillbite Studio. Among the Sleep is a trippy, survival horror adventure with American McGee's Alice vibes, where you play as a baby. As Halloween approaches, Epic Games Store continues to offer up spooky games of all varieties.
