Among The Sleep Will Keep You Awake
Among The Sleep is a first-person horror game currently in development from indie developer Krillbite Studios (based out of Hamar, Norway). What makes this game so creepy? You play as a two-year-old. This is sure to peak the interest of die-hard horror fans looking for a new twist on the genre. No official dates have been announced, but a post on Krillbite’s rather interesting blog stated they’re looking at a 2013 release.
While trying to clear up misconceptions about the trailer, which features entirely in-game footage, Krillbite wrote, ‘And finally, to some of you silly people, it’s not a first person shooter. There will be no guns, we are untruly sorry.’ These guys seem awesome.
Gamers have been fighting for a while to get their passion recognized as something more than just a hobby for kids, but if Among The Sleep is as scary as it looks, we may all revert back to the fetal position sometime soon.

I’m surprised no one has made a game like this before. What’s more frightening than being a helpless child in a world where most of the things you perceive are scary, things that grown-ups see as “normal”. It will be interesting to see if the things you experience throughout the game are actually haunting you or if they are just a child’s interpretation of regular occurrences.
Holy shit, that’s gruesome.
