Woh!! truly atmospheric experience through a cold and disturbing dream, boys, turn off the light in your room and turn up the volume, hue hue hue. (:evilface:). Scriptwelder you did it again! BOSS

Tip: Don't play this alone in a dark room in the middle of the night in a creaky house. I almost threw my mouse at the furnace on the screen.

Wait, did I miss it or did that coal and the golden statue serve absolutely no purpose? What was the point of picking them up?

Games like this would be so much better if it wasn't for the whiteness that hits your eyes from the Kongregate site... if only there was an option for either full screen or to darken everything outside the game.

This game gave me SERIOUS chills. The graphics are gritty and leave you squinting to see...not in a bad way...in a super involved way. It captures you. The sense of ambience created is very smooth and..well..creepy as hell. The tiny random occurrences either made me flinch or actually shudder involuntarily..and the first time you see that thing's eyes at it comes for you?? I'm 30 years old and damn near pissed myself. Where were games like this 15 years ago??

Amazing how scary low-res can be. Incidentally, anyone who has pursued lucid dreams may come across the dilemma of whether or not it is a real place in some sense, or whether the beings you meet are real.

The first thing said on this game, when you click the bed is "I've just woken up" and i was like "so i get the achievement now right?"

I had no idea what to do so I started drawing a jewish star on the wall and so I saw the code on it. I really did not think that drawing a jewish star on a creepy wall would ever help me but, hey, life is full of surprises, right?

This game is too creppy !!! The music puts you into the mood, then the slighly shadowy borders of the screen creates more confusion and also the path is really complicated. The first time i saw the monster (after the safe) i was like : Oh light ! i probably have to go there and then wait what ? do i have to hit it with the pick? and then a ok gotta run lol. Since you can't kill it (expetc for the end) its so much scarier :D. Awesome game 5/5

First time in dark hallway: "Oh, that shadow thing must be trying to tell me how to get out of this dream!"
Second time in dark hallway: "DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE AX IN THE FACE AX IN THE FACE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE"
Third time in dark hallway: "RUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUN..."

This game gave me nightmares when I was 15, in 2012, and is the one game I think about the most since then.
11 years later, I met someone who mentioned a "spooky pixel-based game about nightmares blahblah", and I namedropped Deep Sleep. We're now best friends.
Without a doubt, this is the game that have impacted my life the most, which is crazy.

Wow that was one of the most entertaining point and click games I have played. Both the game play and the tension are perfectly balanced, with me being anxious but not terrified, and struggling to find answers but not so much so I gave up. Great job to the developers!

Sure, walking down the creepy, dark hall to an unspecified location seems like a great idea. Two white pixels and a dark head? NOPE NOPE NOPE.

Seems simple enough. Not too impressed yet.
...Ooooh, that's creepy. Nice atmosphere!
..Here comes a jump scare in the furnace, of course...
Man this is frustrating.
This is getting really creepy...
Hmmm, so if I take this I can go back and AUGH WHAT THE HELL RUNRUNRUNRUNRUN
(Haunting without being horrifying, just the right balance. A+++)
