Our take on Try To Fall Asleep
Sleep is not a pause between horror scenes here: it is the central survival task. The game replaces a conventional progression loop with a cycle of managing stress at night and uncovering memories through dreams.
What is Try To Fall Asleep?
Try To Fall Asleep is a first-person action-adventure horror game divided into 6 nights, with 4 currently available.
Each night has a sleeping phase and a dreaming phase. During sleep, the player must fill the sleep level before 4 am while managing stress caused by hallucinations. Closing the eyes raises sleep, while opening them and turning on the light lowers stress. Some hallucinations become monsters that can cause a jumpscare and sharply increase stress unless the player hides under the blanket. Dreaming allows free movement through scenes from John Herrin’s past, including woodland areas and nightmarish situations. The story follows John, a brain-damaged survivor with memory loss, as he investigates a catastrophe connected to the secretive Revivel laboratory.
