Sleepytime Village - Demo

To learn how to be an adult you have to act like a kid.

Sleepytime Village is a creepy story about learning to rediscover both your inner child and the joy of creativity.

You’ll take the role of a neglectful, workaholic father as he wakes in a mysterious children’s storybook village in search of a way out, whilst being haunted by its residents, its formless narrator and visions of his childhood.

What is this place, what does it want from him, and how can he escape?

In that search, you’ll be following cryptic clues and solving perplexing puzzles across the village: from the colourful village square and its inhabitants living in their strange little houses, to an underground cave world and the grim broken toy cemetery – plus many, many more across more than 70 playable scenes, and dozens more strange creatures, toys and landscapes.

The game covers relationships between generations, from grandparents, to parents and children and when those grown up children have kids of their own, it explores how the sensibilities through the generations distort and twist the perceptions of what is important.
