'Among the Sleep' (ALL) Comes To Nintendo Switch Later This Year

by Rainier on Jan. 21, 2019 @ 4:50 a.m. PST

Among the Sleep is a first-person horror adventure where you play as a two-year-old. You’re vulnerable, scared, and trying to make sense of the world.

It explores horror through atmosphere and exploration, not with scores and combat systems.

Merging a child’s perception of reality with its wild imagination provides an interesting setting to tell a story. With only your teddy bear as a companion, we hope players will unravel what is actually causing the fear and confusion. There might be threats hiding in every shadow, but there’s no traditional combat. Instead of fighting, players will actively have to find places to hide in the environment, and avoid confrontation to survive.

Regarding the environmental interaction, it's physics based, so you’ll be able to push, pull and climb objects to reach places, open and close doors, make a staircase out of drawers, peek around corners, carry and place small objects, and the list goes on.


The nightmarish first person horror game Among the Sleep is sneaking to Nintendo Switch this year, both digitally and physically.

Originally released in 2014, in the enhanced edition Krillbite Studio has improved all aspects of the game. There are graphical enhancements and gameplay tweaks, improved interactions, additional dialogue, a pyjamas selector for the toddler and an interactive museum level that let’s you explore the content of the game and exclusive behind the scenes material.

Jon Cato Lorentzen, CEO of Krillbite Studio, is excited for the Switch release, stating: “Ever since the Nintendo Switch was announced we’ve had fans contacting us requesting a port of the game for the Switch. After recently releasing the Enhanced Edition we thought the time was right, and SOEDESCO Studios has been the perfect partner to work with for the port.”

Jack Chauthi, Managing Director of SOEDESCO, comments: “Krillbite has always been dedicated to creating impressive, high quality experiences. Bringing their game ‘Among the Sleep’ to the Nintendo Switch with our own in-house studio is something to look forward to and puts us in a strong position for the next stages of growth.”

Key Features:

  • Enhanced edition with new dialogue, better performance & visuals and more
  • Put the pieces of the puzzle together to find out what has happened to your mother
  • Creep through threatening environments like a twisted forest and a dark house
  • Unravel a disturbing story filled with tension, symbolism and psychological horror
