How To Sleep

A short horror game about OCD and bedtime rituals that keep you up at night. 

I strongly recommend downloading the appropriate desktop version, rather than playing the web version for the lower resolution graphics and more immersive experience. I couldn't figure out how to properly force low res in HTML5. If you do choose to play this in browser I strongly recommend right clicking and selecting This Frame > Open in New Tab

Controls :

WASD - Move 
Space - Interact / Advance dialogue 
Escape - Quit

Content warnings: 

horror imagery, loud sounds

Playtime:

Around 10 minutes

Platforms:

HTML5 - Done

Windows - Done

Linux - Untested

Made in 6 days for the psx story jam (theme: This Was A Mistake)

Included this in my 3 random horror game video!
Short but not bad at all for being made for a gamejam. Solid idea for sure of trying to go to bed. Couldn't figure out how to do the other ending as the game seems to require you to look at the ghost/monster to progress. Aside from that, enjoyed it. Made a video on it.

nice
