The tricky part about taking the approach that Among the Sleep does, is that presenting the world from a child’s perspective is hard. However, is this game mature beyond it’s year’s, or will it leave you crying for momma? We find out in our review of Among The Sleep. This title aims to showcase the horrors that lurk within a child’s mind, an area that is rarely covered through the medium of gaming. This game plays rather like games such as Little Nightmares, Layers of Fear, Fran Bow and Tattletail.

Well, Among the Sleep is a horror game that harps on this fear that dwells within us, combines this with the childish and curious perspective of a toddler and aims to create a psychological horror experience as a result. We were taught that monsters lurked in closets and under beds and as a child, even the most mundane of things can be perceived as a threat. What lurked in the black nothingness was unknown, not to be trusted and instead, to be feared. Another huge benefit of sleep mode is that it will allow some background processes, such as downloading games, to run.As a child, we all at some stage had an irrational fear of the dark. It is a much faster reboot than switching off the console completely.

It basically puts the console in a low-energy mode that can be restarted with a single button press. Sleep mode is the Nintendo equivalent of rest mode on the PS5 or Xbox.
