Sleepytime Village

About the Game

Escape from a children's storybook world in this creepy AF adventure.

Sleepytime Village is a creepy AF classic-style point & click adventure game about learning to rediscover both your inner child and the joy of creativity.

Inspired by games like Monkey Island and Broken Sword. you’ll take the role of a neglectful, workaholic father as he wakes in a mysterious children’s storybook village in search of a way out, whilst being haunted by its residents, its formless narrator and visions of his childhood.

What is this place, what does it want from him, and how can he escape?
