Hey, thanks for playing!
youre welcome
I like to check out sleep paralysis games since I've suffered with chronic sleep paralysis since I was a preteen. This is the first I've played that was an actual game and not a simulator. The atmosphere was perfect for the setting and the tasks were fairly simple, but still fun ^_^
YEAH THANKS FOR THE NIGHTMARES MY DUDE LMAO GAME STARTS AT 2:24:13
I went into this game not knowing it was a "survive the night" style game. I was never really into those and never play them but I'm glad I gave it a chance. Really enjoyed it!
I schleep.
I included your game in my video - 15:28
That was awesome. The " failed" red screen is my pc background right now, hehe. Made you a lil video:
Thanks for playing, glad you liked it! We're working on an expanded version now.
Hell Yeah!! < 3
Cool game. Nice new style. Great job! Game here:
First game played of three. Subscribe please.Simple But I quite liked it. this is my gameplay
Check out our quick playthrough! I might give it another go in the future.
Dobri zvučni efekti i tema, odlične mini igrice u igrici, svidjelo mi se i sretno u gradnji ostalih igrica!
Creepy and interesting with the dice throws. Maybe our sleep demon is just lonely.
great game but wtf why hands....why hands its creepy i hate it...
pls make a version for mac <3
We'll make sure a Mac build is released for the full version, thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to play it and give such detailed feedback! We'll take that all into consideration as we work on a full version.
A great Short game for those wanting to know a little bit about sleep paralysis, and sleep terrors. Unfortunately not that scary and more of a tedious game. Would recommend to put more mini games and fix one of the mini games to have an adjusted hit box for the breathing mini game. all in all a good little experience for those wanting a challenge.
Thanks for playing and the feedback!
Thanks for the hard work.. will be waiting for your future works!!
What an entertaining video, thank for making this for us! Appreciate the review/feedback as well, we'll work on it. :)
I like it, the art is nice and the sounds are spooky! Definitively gonna wait for a full release!
Nice game, could use a few more minigames.
Thank you for playing, and we agree! Going to work on a full release here soon.
The game is interesting. I wish there was a bit more variety of mini games to play. But for what it is, it's a nice game.
Here's my channel for other games I have played. http://www.youtube.com/c/Levont
Thanks for playing it! We're planning on expanding the scope of the project for a full release soon.
liked the game tho!
Hello, I played this game and I liked it, it was short and sweet, took me a while to beat it but got there eventually, good work :)
Thanks for playing Stella, glad you enjoyed it!
Good game had fun with it maybe put some more things in there is too much waiting in between mini games.
Thanks for making the video and the feedback! We went back and forth on the pacing, hard to nail it down just right.
Impressive! I enjoyed it a lot.
If you want to hear full review, check out the video. Thanks.
So cool of you, thank you! The feedback was great and spot on
