Couldn’t find a thread on this one. I’m not sure what genre this game fits into, but the atmosphere looks pretty darn good. You play as a baby going through a living nightmare. Game focuses on exploration and atmosphere. Among the Sleep. Here’s the kickstarter.

They reached the goal on kickstarter and launched an alpha. Reminds of a bit of what I played of Amnesia, not just the interface, but because of the scary jumps.

I think this belongs in the adventure side.

Completely forgot about this game but it got released today on PC.
Still waiting for my kickstarter backer key, ahould be interesting.

Edit: Wait, this is in the generel section, I thought it was an adventure (but I only played the demo so I’m not sure)

I found out about this game just now and it sounded potentially interesting and adventur-ey.

Among The Sleep invites you into the mind and body of a two year old child. After being put to bed one evening, mysterious things start to happen. Played in first person, the game lets its players immerse themselves in a child’s limitless imagination. This is a perspective we all have a distant familiarity with, but few can clearly remember what it felt like. In the borderland between dream and reality, surreal creatures and diverse environments will present you with both physical and mental obstacles that challenge your creativity.

Has anyone played it? Is it more like Amnesia or Gone Home?

There is a thread here (in general):

I still only played the demo, felt like Amnesia exploring the house but it was just the beginning, no real challenge but it didn’t go into the “nightmare” part. Going to try it over the weekend.

Anyone played it? It’s definitely an adventure

Took around 2h30 to complete it, kind of like Gone Home in length. Other similarities with Gone Home are that you mostly walk around exploring the surroundings, uncovering some story, thought it throws a supernatural enemy sometimes (Amnesia-style) but it’s usually very easy to avoid. (I died once in the game). Creepy environment, better played in the dark, but most scares are usually common stuff.
The initial “twist” of playing gets a bit lost after the strong start, when the nightmare stuff begins and everything falls in a common horror environment and there isn’t much story development. The puzzles are kind of repetitive. (how many times do I have to open drawers to reach a higher place? ) The physics stuff works well but only at the last part they so something with it.

About the twist of the ending From what I gather, the parents have divorced, and mom didn’t take it very well and started to hit the bottle. She ‘s the “monster” in the nightmares and Teddy was a present from Dad and his friend. The 4 memories to recover are of good times he remembers.
There are o lot child drawings throughout the game but I couldn’t really see any meaning to them,
