These type of first person horror games that have a creature or creatures stalking you that you can't fight back against have been releasing constantly this past decade. Among the Sleep isn't a bad one but it isn't a particularly good one either. Playing as a toddler is a unique wrinkle although they don't do anything interesting with it. The monster that's stalking you looks pretty dumb when you see it but I still managed to get a scare or two out of it. The monsters in these games are usually a metaphor for something and it's fine here. It's not a mind bending twist but it works for the short story they're telling here. The puzzles are serviceable but nothing impressive.
