Sleepless forbids you from falling asleep. There are no warm blankets or sweet dreams waiting for you. Just strange noises, dark eyes behind walls, and the feeling of being watched — all the time, all the time. It’s a short, haunting horror game that taps into a deep-seated fear that many people have experienced: staying up all night in a familiar room that’s no longer safe.

Sleepless Gameplay

  • Players wake up in their bed, trapped in their space. The only key mechanic is to hold the Space key to close their eyes. Sounds simple — but try it when you know something is getting closer every second.
  • Each time you close your eyes, it’s a gamble: are you avoiding seeing something… or inviting it closer?

Space: When a Painting Sees You

The bedroom looks normal. But a strange painting knocks at the door in the middle of the night, and the feeling of someone tickling your feet starts to distort things. You close your eyes to escape, but every time you open them, the room is a little different. Or maybe you're the one who's changing?

Concept: The fear of immobility and helplessness

Sleepless plays on that feeling of helplessness—when you can't get out of bed, can't run away, and can't be certain what you're seeing is real. The gameplay is minimalist but effective, reminiscent of sleep paralysis or sleepless nights filled with thoughts and hallucinations.

If you've ever found yourself lying in bed, eyes wide open, heart pounding, simply because you heard something in the hallway, Sleepless will resonate with you. This isn't just a game. This is a terrifying experience you've lived through, now wrapped up in a few minutes of gameplay. Don't miss out on other thrilling experiences our website offers. Next up is Scary Alien Escape!
