Krillbite Studio has revealed that its award-winning horror Among the Sleep: Enhanced Edition will soon be scaring you silly on Nintendo Switch.
If you're unfamiliar with this one, Among the Sleep originally launched on PC back in 2014, with PS4 and Xbox One releases arriving shortly after. In the game, players assume the role of an innocent two-year-old who has an unusual teddy bear as his only companion; you, as the child, must wander through your eerily dark house to find your parent. As you can likely tell from the atmosphere in the PlayStation trailer up above, things aren't quite as cheery as they could be.
Krillbite Studio has shared a blog post detailing the thought process behind the game's new launch on Switch, noting how fans had been asking for a Switch port despite the studio's current commitment to upcoming title Mosaic. Luckily, publisher Soedesco proposed a collaboration to help with much-needed resources, and so the Switch port was born.
"It’s been exciting for us to play our game on Nintendo Switch, Soedesco has done a tremendous job with the port. Among the Sleep: Enhanced Edition feels really intimate and personal when playing in handheld mode, and we can’t wait for you guys to try it out on your own consoles. The Switch has turned into a great platform for indie games, and we’re proud to see Among the Sleep up there with so many other great indie titles."
Among the Sleep: Enhanced Edition features:
- Enhanced edition with new dialogue, better performance & visuals and more
- Put the pieces of the puzzle together to find out what has happened to your mother
- Creep through threatening environments like a twisted forest and a dark house
- Unravel a disturbing story filled with tension, symbolism and psychological horror
No specific release date has been set for the game just yet, although it is said to be arriving on Nintendo's machine this year. Krillbite's blog post ends by saying "it’s real and it’s coming and we’ll give you the release date as soon as we know".

Looks terrible
I was really excited to play this when it came out on PS4. Did not enjoy it.
I like the look of this. Seems to be more of a crawling simulator rather than a walking simulator.
It's supposed to be really short but I'm fine with that as long as the experience is enjoyable and its reviews suggest it will be.
I remember watching Markiplier play through this back when I still watched YouTubers on occasion. It's a very intriguing game and is the type of horror that I prefer as it messes with your mind and makes you think. I'll certainly be picking this up at some point.
@Blitzenexx - Psychological horror is the best horror.
@DockEllisD - Usually is as they're often served as "art houses" for a vision of a story. Never gots me either.
Looks cool to me. Hope it’s fun
It is a fun game but not for everyone. You really gotta get into the atmosphere to tryly appreciate the gameplay.
Digital only or also physical?
Lovely. Played it on PC when it was new. Took me about 3 hours to get through on a quite relaxed playthrough. In my hectic family situation it's good to sometimes have a short, but good and very atmospheric, game you can finish in an evening or two. Those are quite rare these days. Was also thinking of playing it again very recently, but now I'll wait and support the developers effort to get it on the Switch.
@Ricochet72 "Looks terrible "
Only Trolls come saying this when Switch becomes the go to platform.
@SwitchForce I love my Switch. Am I not allowed to have an opinion if I think a game looks poor. Do you think that every game released on the Switch is a masterpiece?
Have this on Steam and although I never beat it, I was having a blast with it. I must note, I’m not a fan of computer games aside from Starcraft which is why I never beat it. But now that I can get this on the TV with a controller etc., I’ll for sure be buying again. This is awesome news!
@Link-Hero: Agreed. I think it's why series like Silent Hill and Fatal Frame are more my speed vs. games like Resident Evil and FNAF. Games like the latter can be entertaining in their own right, but they become too predictable and meh before long (IMO).
Two-year-olds can both walk and run. Had they said 10-14 months old, that would work.
Sorry, that's kind of irrelevant, but it always puzzled me that the developer insisted the kid is two years old when it very clearly isn't supposed to appear as such.
This always struck me as a great concept, so I'll be eager to hear NL's thoughts on this particular version.
Already played and unlocked the full 1,000 GS on Xbox One. I'll pass on the Switch edition. Not worth playing for any other reason than the Gamerscore.
This is fantastic news. I remember hiding under a table at the very beginning of the game for over an hour because of the spooky things. That was before I learned you couldn’t be hurt by the thing. But the atmosphere in the game is definitely awesome, and I look forward to playing it again on Switch. So long as the pricing isn’t outrageous for a 5 year old 2 hour game. Like 15 bucks is the high end.
What's up with all those horror-titles on Switch, lol.
if the price is right
