I really don?t want to dive into the stages involved in the game for spoiler purposes. Among the Sleep is not a very long game clocking in around 2 hours (although it does come with a Prologue stage that was originally DLC for the PC release). While also picking up objects such as drawings and other children?s toys along the way. This is a first person toddler title (new genre of FPT coming soon) and through your adventure you will crawl, climb and kinda run. Like I said earlier, Among the Sleep is told through the eyes of a toddler and I mean that literally. The mapping of the actions to a controller is fine, it just feels like it was meant to be played with a mouse and keyboard and is a bit wonky with the Dual Shock controller. While that isn?t necessarily always a gripe to have, in this game in specific, it rubbed me the wrong way. Right from the first few minutes of gameplay you can tell this was a game ported over from the PC. How could this not be a survival horror title? Originally released on the PC in 2014, Among the Sleep is now seeing its release on the PS4 (and will also see a release on the XBOX One at a future date to be determined). Not only that but you have a companion talking stuffed teddy bear (named Teddy for obvious reasons). Does Among the Sleep deliver, and is it truly survival horror?Īmong the Sleep takes you through a trippy adventure told through the eyes of a two year old as he tries to find his mother, preventing you from achieving this is a shadow like individual (very similar to Slender Man). Enter Among the Sleep from Killbrite Studio and after a few trailers I thought this could finally be the survival horror return I?ve been waiting for. ![]() ![]() but that ended before it could even get started. There was hope of a revitalization with Kojima?s P.T. ![]() I miss the classic survival horror titles like Silent Hill and Eternal Darkness. ![]() Capcom pumps out action titles, calls them Resident Evil and somehow they get classified as survival horror. The survival horror genre has an identity crisis as of late.
