Devicon 5 A brilliant game with great potential.
Sleep Is Death has an amazing concept. This game is one you can play again and again, and never grow tired of.

The game is an artsy toybox for you and a friend to create an interative story. It comes with two roles, the “Controller” and the “Player”. The controller is the one who sets the scene of the game for the player, controls all the objects around the player and has access to a wide range of people, objects and animals to create into the world. The player is put into the game and has the ability to “talk” using speech bubbles, and the access to make any “action” on any object. You could attempt to kick a fottball, for example. The controller then makes your action occur. Sounds easy? Try to think of a story on your feet in a time limit of 30 seconds!

The fact that the game’s story is tailored by those who play it makes it enjoyable for all. The genre could be anything from a simple roleplay to a zombie survival to a deep, meaningful journey of self-discovery. The possibilities of this game are incredible.

One last note, the price on this ISN’T $14, it’s a pay-what-you want, and the minimum is $1.75 (or £1.33 for people in the UK. It adds the VAT when you buy it.)
