Great game! I think the text should automatically disappear and be a bit above. Sometimes I got lost in the environment and forgot to catch up with the text.
She gave me false sense of security
the jumpscare in the vent totally got me

tbh after getting stuck myself and seeing someone else, we struggled to figure out you can grab the ladder
Довольно добротный мини хоррор) Обстановка, атмосфера и графика чем то напоминает Resident Evil того времени) Маловато, но качественно!
Спасибо за теплые слова!

This was such a great short horror game really left me wondering what they were trying to accomplish in there experiments or if they were trying to summon something overall great game!
Nice short gameplay! Although, I do not see the relation of the gameplay with the title of the game lol:
Hello Dudes and Dudettes, DON't SLEEP is a really fun short game. I'm a fan of survival horror games, and this game fits that category just right for me. The only complaint I have was just climbing the ladder. It was finicky to climb it but I got it eventually. Other than that, I rate this game a solid 9/10. Here is my reaction and playthrough of the game, DON'T SLEEP. Hope you enjoy!
Loved how it started creepy INSTANTLY!
It was so easy to play and yet so fun. Please check it down here! 🧸♥️🌨️
Loved this!
the russian posters are frying😭
Very well done! If there's any complaint to be had, it's just a little short for my liking, which is hardly a real issue. Keep up the great work!
I got stuck on the wooden staircase...and didnt end the game. idk what happened but yeah, seems a good game.
bad game to short and ass story

Cool!
Hi PugsGames! I'm a beginner translator interested in voluntarily localizing your game into Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BR). If you're interested, I would love to help :)
hey cool game wish there was at least 2 jump scares lol
Got scared a bit but enjoyed it!
Really creepy... I did not like the noises ahahha Second game in this video at 12:37:
Don’t Sleep es una propuesta indie que apuesta por una atmósfera tensa y psicológica más que por mecánicas complejas o acción frenética.
