I don't have much to say on this game other than yeah I had childhood nostalgia for this one. I would play this over and over on the computer, exploring every little itty bit of this stylish and downbeat world. What really sold the replayability was the world was full of interactible doodads. Click a baseball and a bat, and they could start playing a game with each other. Click on a tree, and it might wag its finger for bothering it. It's all so imaginative and I enter a dreamlike mood whenever I reminisce about this game.
Not to mention, the game changes slightly every time you play it so there are different side content that you may unlock per playthrough, also adding to the additional challenge of finding socks and finding every piece of equipment.
Replaying this as an adult, I was able to beat this game within 45 minutes. It's so tailor made for kids but that's what made it perfect. Pajama Sam not only rewards you for your puzzle-solving, but also rewards you for being curious. For being thorough. For being able to slow down and enjoy the nighttime and the simple beauty it brings you.
This game will ALWAYS be a gem from my childhood. So many hours were melted away on it playing on the computer at the YMCA waiting for my mom to finish her Zumba lessons at 1:30pm on a chilly Saturday. It's such a specific vibe, I know, but I think that checks out for such a distinct game like this.
