You're two years old, and the world is terrifying.Īmong the Sleep is a horror game currently in development for Windows PC, Mac and Linux where players explore the world as a child. This is your room and these are your toys, but they look far more menacing in the late hours of the night. Your crib tilts, dumping you onto the floor. Your eyes struggle open as your teddy bear is dragged away by something you can't see. Your mother sings you a song as you slowly drift off to sleep, but your rest is short lived.
