Among the Sleep Public Alpha Launches Tomorrow


You will very soon be able to take a first-hand look at one of the most interesting horror game concepts ever cooked up.

last month [http://www.krillbite.com/ats/] is winding up and it will be a close thing, with just five days left to earn $20,000 and reach its $200,000 goal.

To give the process a push, the team is releasing a playable alpha version of the game tomorrow, giving people a taste of what's in store and hopefully convincing at least a few of them to throw some money at it. Krillbyte says the alpha has been polished up a bit (as much as these things are) and has implemented a feedback system so players can report any issues they run into or thoughts about what could stand to be changed or improved.

The team also announced last week that Among the Sleep will feature a "basic implementation" of Oculus Rift support, with "proper implementation" promised as a $225,000 stretch goal, and that Studio Jory [http://studio.jory.org/], which has worked on literally dozens of games including Telltale's Walking Dead and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, will be recording the game's dialog.

The Among the Sleep public alpha will be downloadable from the Kickstarter page [http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/krillbite/among-the-sleep/posts] beginning at 11 am PDT on May 14.

I'm really looking forward to this one, it will SUCK if it doesn't make it through...

Ooh, I thought that this would have been funded by now. I really wish I had the money, but even if I did, it wouldn't be a dent in that $20,000.

Am I the only one who feels that the title "Among the Sleep" feels a bit Warfighterish?

I just threw $20 at the project and will download the alpha tomorrow. I'm really hoping this one pulls through, it seems that so many of the games that get wide coverage (this featured in an entire Jimquisition episode), that it's a little surprising it's not fully funded yet.

It does feel a little off, and not in an unsettling way. It feels like someone's forgotten to put the last few letters on the word "sleeping".
