Plot[edit]

Among the Sleep invites you into the mind and body of a two-year-old child being helped along the way by his beloved teddy bear. After being put to bed one evening, mysterious things start to happen. Being played in first person, the game lets its players immerse themselves in a child's limitless imagination.

In the borderland between dream and reality, surreal creatures and diverse environments will present the player with both physical and mental obstacles that challenge the player's creativity.

Development[edit]

Development of Among the Sleep began in 2011, and attracted 425,000 NOK (£45,900) in funding from the Norsk Film Institutt (Norwegian Film Institute) on 30 May 2011.[2] After a subsequent grant application, the NFI awarded the company a supplementary 200,000 NOK on 27 October 2011.[3][4]

Krillbite Studio also gained subsidies by launching a Kickstarter campaign at April 18, 2013, where they managed to pledge $248,358.

  • Winner, Norwegian Game Awards Hype 2011
  • Winner, Hamar Game Challenge 2011
