‘Among the Sleep’ Wakes Up On Xbox One Next Week

Published

After a slight delay caused by some unforeseen technical difficulties, Krillbite Studio has gotten the Xbox One port of their popular indie horror game Among the Sleep back on track and ready for a release on Friday, June 3rd. If you haven’t played this one yet, it’s a first-person adventure game about a two year-old boy’s quest to find his missing mother.

It’s a gorgeous game that’s elevated considerably by a lovely art style that turns a normal, everyday home into a charming place until it’s twisted into something sinister by a child’s rampant imagination. The horrors are seen through the eyes of a frightened child, who unknowingly reshapes everything he sees into a nightmarish version of itself. It’s a clever use of a common video game aesthetic, much like Krillbite’s next game, Mosaic.

Still no update on the planned retail release of Among the Sleep, but we’ll probably hear about that soon. The game is currently available to download on PC and PS4, neither of which will have the exclusive pajama patterns that Xbox One owners will get next week. I’m going with the unicorn style, but I won’t judge you if you’re more fond of the bear pajamas.

I’m afraid I can’t say the same for those of you who choose to wear the Xbox branded pajamas. What is this, Baby Billboard Simulator 2016? No thanks!

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
