I liked the unsettling atmosphere of running around in your own head. Most people will not admit to it, but I know quite a few individuals personally, that are always on heightened alert when dealing with the 'outside' world. This game drags you into their unhinged vision of 'normality.'
A very refreshing take on what true horror can be to some, whereas others just close their eyes and sleep.
99.999% Of people didn't read you'r comment, the reason? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG, here we call that es-say, mean it's also at the same time feedback but both idk man kill me
Game was very unsettling. I have to say there was to much talking/dialogue, to the point it wasn't creepy or just boring. Would I recommend? No. Overall 2/5.
This game reminded me of something. Being afraid of the dark makes no sense. There is nothing about darkness that should make it scary. What we are actually afraid of is what could be lurking in the darkness. We are afraid of NOT being alone in the dark.
Pretty cool! Does a lot with very little! Reminds me of being in bed as a child & being afraid of the dark.....when your imagination runs wild about what could be lurking in the dark....the ending wasn't very satisfying but this concept could be expanded into something really interesting. Enjoyed this for what it was!
Absolutely one of the best games I have played on the site! The games overall so well voice acted. Though it takes a minimalistic approach, it does it better than I have ever seen it done before. Loved the story and multiple endings, the environment and mystery of the creature was incredible.
Again great work on this masterpiece of a game! Will be trying out some of your other games! Thank you as well for being cool and retweeting my tweet that I played the game :)
I am absolutely shocked with this game, but very positively shocked. It was probably one of the most unique experience I had in a video game… definitely something unforgettable. I was expecting a pure horror game, but in the end I felt sorrow for this creature than an actual scare.
I really want to talk more about this game…discuss it more… but alas, then that would be a spoiler.
Well regardless, I only wish more horrors games would be like this: being unique, making me feel something, and have an actual meaning behind it.
Incredible game. I will definitely replay it more.
Did you purposely try to disturb and creep me out? Oh you did? Then well done I hated it so much (in a good way). I don't think I've ever been so creeped out while playing a game and that night I had a disturbing dream about it that's how good it was!
In one question I already started emphasizing with him and thinking that I should describe my features to him and hell he's so human I am very sure I wouldn't be able to keep my eyes closed even if in actual danger of life
in my playthrough i have a whisper arguing match with mister sleep paralysis "creature" over here
To add: So, so many people have praised this game and i was like "it is probably overrated like a lot of garbage these days" but no!!! This game is definitely not overrated!!! It is free (pls donate if you enjoyed your experience and you are financially able tho), the writing is amazing, the game is creepy, the voice acting is amazingly unnerving... just wow. We need more gems like this. This game is definitely worth your time.
It wants to be seen. But you are its eyes. And it wants your truth of assurances from the descriptions you gave it. Open your eyes, you can’t see it; otherwise, it will be you.
The game relies on your choices by this sleep paralysis demon. Though the build-up from the start can give you creeps, once it starts speaking, you’ll sympathize as you lend an ear to its ‘existential crisis.’ Its shyness, monologues, and self-philosophies are relatable. And every choice you make will be its ‘appearance’ and may be a good ending.
The sketchy design of this game fits very well with its theme, the voice acting (ASMR-like) of the sleep paralysis demon is great, and the background music fits the tone of the game. All in all, it is a good concept and quite nightmarish to listen to with this sleep paralysis demon (I am still scared to see what it finally looks like in real life though.)
Can't remember if I left a review so I'll do another one. This game was very creepy. The voices, the atmosphere, the animation and music were all great.

You aren't alone in the dark, you always have
Aby you'r side.ostatnio nikt się nie skarżył na tą grę... bo nikt nie przeżył (nobody has complained about this game lately ... because nobody survived)
This game really creeped me out! Really enjoyed this one! Check out my gameplay of it 😁

The "original" ending is good :(
A great minimalistic and creepy bedtime story. I strongly recommend this game!
This is one of the best games on itch ive played in a while. Thank you.

I think he leaves behind a love poem.
is there a... good ending?
In my opinion the good ending is when you open your eyes.
Did you?
Yeah
The good ending is when you see him, dying is just a "side-effect"

this is amazing but i cant figure out is there one ending
I really like this game
This was so effective it's scary
In one question I already started emphasizing with him and thinking that I should describe my features to him and hell he's so human I am very sure I wouldn't be able to keep my eyes closed even if in actual danger of life
o jogo tem um alerta falando sobre "paralisia do sono" em que muitos sofrem disso!
BR em itch.io? "Impossível."

wel interessting game, but what actually happens in the bad ending if noone is there?
in my playthrough i have a whisper arguing match with mister sleep paralysis "creature" over here

Very well-made game. Playing this late at night definitely gives it a more "creepy" feeling but somehow kinda romantic too... Or was it just me?
No, not just you. I was so sad that I never could give him what he wanted.
