This game is so much fun. If it wasn't for the bosses (never been a fan of hard bosses that require you to play over and over again) it would be a perfect game. So much fun with friends.

I really appreciated Among the Sleep, so here is my 2 cents.
It is and experience game like Ester, but with puzzles. It is told from the viewpoint of a child, which give an interesting sense of helplessness and fear. Lots of time and thought went into the dialog, and the story line. The voice acting was well delivered. The puzzles were easy but made me think and look twice. The ending was amazing with a lessen for those how care to pay attention. According to Steam, I spent 5 hours on this game, so understand this is a short game, but I wouldn't consider that a negative. I enjoy long games like Just Cause and Far Cry, but I have also played games that seem to never end. Among the Sleep length was perfect for what it was. I recommend this game.

Note for parents: This game is spooky, and alcohol is present, but it has no bad language, violence, or adult content.

Another Note: I DID buy this directly from Steam, and was NOT given a copy, nor do I know anyone associated those this game.

Early Access Review
My friends and I have really enjoyed GRAV. Most games are a bit stressful, so it is nice to to play something that is interesting, fun, and laid back. There are 2 ways to get over your head, it is because you ignored what level area you had entered which are clearly marked, or there was a moster raid and you were caught near it. Do you want to fight and build alone, you can. What to join your friends for a while, again, that is your choice. You are given several characters and if you want all the abilities, you must upgrade them, so if a new friend arrives, change to your lower level characters and go to a lower level area, or stay at a higher level and escort them through higher level area, so they can level up faster. Once they shoot a monster even once, they will share in the experience after said monster is dead.

IT IS FAMILY FRIENDLY.
For those parents out there that love to games but run into objectionable materiel in so many fun games, you should consider GRAV. The only thing one might find offensive, is the ability to leave a dropping on the ground which others can step on. If you create a private server, with a password, then you control who plays. My son and I have enjoyed playing together.

Setting up the server is supper easy once you use the correct port . Most tutorials tell you to use the wrong port. The correct port for your server is 7777. Look at the bat file they give you, and you will see.

This game is not finished and I have found only a few bugs. I would like to see more polish to the game, more monsters, some direction on where to find all the blueprints and some tutorials to help new player.

At the time of my writing, I have played 67 hour and I look forward to many more. Buy a 4-pack and gift it to your friends. There is much to be enjoyed here.

I am glad others liked this game, because I found it anoying and hard. Every time I turned arround, the tutorial popped up. The tutorial itself had some challenging tasks. This game has no jump bottom. I get it ,"design decision", but I do not think it was a good design decision. I gave up, on the first boss that came at level 3....level 3!!! I had barly started playing the game, and I am given the gift of a boss.
I am done. It is not fun and there are a lot of other great games to play.

I bought the game because I am a fan of PC Gamer, and Tom Francis. I was plesently supprised how enjoyable this game is. The puzzle are not difficult, but will give you some time to ponder. The story is funny, charming, and thoughtfully written. It is a short game, but I don't view that as a negative, as it is something I could start and finish. I normally wouldn't mention the soundtrack but it was quite nice.

Possible improvements:
Clearer objectives. It is a tiny world. One board I had to find a small something that I had walked past several times before realizing I was supposed to pick it up.
Voice acting. Everything has a cost, but good voice acting is a pleasantry always welcome.

Have a quiet evening? Buy Gunpoint, grab a coffee or drink of choice, turn the lights down and enjoy a memorable evening.

I appreciate the way the story was told. There was a lot attention to detail as it answers the mysteries of the house and the people living in it . I am not spoiling anything because you learn this in the first 10 minutes. This game is a pro-lesbian 'love' story, and it is just sad to follow the destructive decisions that were made.
I do not recommend this game base on the story itself, but HOW the story was told and the voice acting was very well done.

How can i recommend this game enough. Buy it. I don't need to mention violence and strong language for those with children.
