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?

During your exploration, you'll decipher enigmatic hints and unravel intricate riddles throughout the village. Your journey will take you from the vibrant village square with its peculiar residents dwelling in quaint houses, to an underground realm of caves, and even to a somber graveyard of broken toys. With over 70 scenes to explore and numerous peculiar creatures, toys, and landscapes to encounter, the adventure promises an abundance of mystery and discovery.

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.
