Overview
Description

Among the Sleep puts you in the shoes of a two‑year‑old child who awakens to unsettling sounds in the middle of the night. The game relies on atmosphere, exploration and the child's limited perception to deliver its scares, without any combat or score systems.\nAs you wander through dimly lit rooms, you must protect your sentient teddy bear, Teddy, and piece together a fragmented story about family tension and unseen forces. The experience blends puzzle‑like navigation with a deeply emotional narrative, making every shadow feel personal.

Through the Woods is a third‑person psychological horror adventure that follows a mother recounting the disappearance of her son in a remote Norwegian forest. The game weaves Norse mythology and folk tales into a tense, atmospheric experience. Dynamic narration drives the story forward, letting players piece together fragmented memories while exploring a richly detailed, eerie woodland environment. It is a single‑player, story‑driven title designed for fans of narrative horror.
