Looking up at the world from this vulnerable perspective is transporting the elongated hallways and towering furnishings of what is otherwise a regular family home take on bizarre, intimidating dimensions, and this remains the best visual and atmospheric trick of Among the Sleep for its duration. This is all fine creepy horror business from an unusual perspective, and Among the Sleep: Enhanced Edition is full of charming touches, such as the pause screen being the kid clamping his tiny hands over his eyes. We drag a nearby chair to a nearby door and clamber up it so we can lean against the handle and open the way to the spooky hallways of a dangerously empty house – but how empty is it, really? Suddenly, we’re alone, peering up at the world from a low camera angle with only a sentient stuffed bear for company.

Among the Sleep is the kind of game that you wish was better since it probably deserves to be.
