Sleep by sir_onionknight

[raw]
made by sir_onionknight for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

This is my first Ludum Dare and tbh I had a blast. Here is the description of the game as written in-game.

"Father sent me to bed and doesn't want to hear another peep out of me. I suppose it's because I'm just a burden and he just wants to drink his fancy water in peace. I just can't sleep though. Every time I try to go to sleep, the bad man shows up in my room."!


Controls:

-F & Right Click: Flashlight

-Left Click: Interact with Lamp


Objective: Survive until 6am and use your lamp and flashlight to make the bad men disappear, but be careful not to let father know you're still awake!

I survived!

Precisely a realistic scenario with parents patrolling the house all night instead of sleeping :smile:

GJ, pretty authentic game!

Did my sleep demon just say "hi" to me? haha

Game looks great, and it has a great ambience and feel to it. I especially like the walking sound when your father is walking behind the door. Anyone would be unstable if their nights were like this. I also liked how the game sounded, although I think it could have used some sounds from the trees outside or other kind of ambient noise.

All in all, a great entry, I dont have much criticism to give, other than that the gameplay got a bit dull towards the end of the night, especially since it was quite easy. I hope you the best of luck, and hope you had a fun jam!

Great atmosphere ! It's a little bit long and repetitive, and I think the bedside lamp is a little bit unbalanced. But good job it was fun to play :)

Good horror game! It felt genuinely creepy when I found the black shadow was so close to me, and I was scared. I love the atmosphere you created for this game, and good job! BTW I also did my game on the theme of Sleep (Actually, it's Insomnia), so feel free to try that!

Nice an simple game, well made. Phasmophobia without sanity pills :) Maybe you could build up on it and add a few more features/interactions, would be nice to be able to move and explore the room or something more to do than using the light & flashlight because the night feels quite long. I enjoyed it though, nice atmosphere

I really liked the audio in this game (the clicking of the lamp, the muffled footsteps, the shadowy whispers). I had fun playing through this. I feel like you can really build off this concept in the future if you want and make something where you're juggling more tasks.

Definitely made me jump a few times. Very good concept and well-executed as well. The art for some of the monsters felt out of focus, but otherwise, the visual and audio design works very well together. This feels like it could be a part of a larger survival game!

In the end, I was more worried about my dad catching me than about the demon that comes for me in my sleep... lost my sanity before daytime :( . I really enjoyed the little touches in this game, that you could see the shadow of your dad near the door, the sound effects, it was all very nice! Also the about section is so sad!

Thank you everyone for your feedback and for playing the game. I've been enjoying seeing all of the feedback, even some of the critical feedback that people have had on their Twitch streams. I have been considering taking the game further after the Jam is over and creating higher detailed graphics, more tasks and things like that as well as make the game more difficult, because one thing about the game is once you get a rythm down, you will likely never lose, partially because the timing in the release build ended up being way different than how it was in Unity, so that's something I'll be looking at too.

Very fun game! It was well-executed and you did a great job on the audio queues. Beyond the game being relatively "solved" once you get the rhythm of the lamp down with the current mechanics (which you're already aware of), I'd say it was a very solid FNAF-like experience. Dropping a follow, if you decide to take it further after the Jam, count me onboard! :smile:

I really enjoyed the visuals, theme, and voice acting. Only problems I had was how easy it is to get hit multiple times without ever touching the ground and how you can get dinged constantly by some of the effects just pushing you into something when it starts. The platformer controls felt good though.

A fun and scary little game. Overall a good jam game, but the game over is not very scary.
