Try To Fall Asleep Demo

Since we live in the real world, logic would dictate that there shouldn't be anything to worry about during the night, since there are no creepy-crawlies lurking in the shadows.  The problem is that we as humans have always had a primordial fear of the unknown, and as such, the supernatural has always has a place in the darkest corners of our psyche. Nowadays, the only supernatural elements that we should fear are usually the figments of our own imagination, and that is a lesson that you'll learn if you decide to try Try To Fall Asleep .

You play as John Herrin , a bed-ridden patient survived a horrible accident and as a result, he damaged his brain and lost his memory. The only way to help his brain heal is by managing to fall asleep. Unfortunately, according to AB, a friendly medical robot sitting on your nightstand, because your brain is damaged, you are extremely prone towards hallucinating. The end goal of the game is to manage to fall asleep before 4 AM, or before your stress levels end up giving you a heart-attack.

Hallucinations get worse and worse as time progresses, and when your stress gauge fills up, or when the clock strikes 4AM, you will get a heart-attack and die, leading to a Game Over. Reducing stress levels can be done by opening your eyes, or turning out the light, while getting away from monsters can be achieved by hiding under the cover. The game makes use of subtle imagery, shadow play, and sounds to induce a spine-chilling experience, as you try to balance out your stress levels with your sleep levels.

The gameplay seems simple enough, while the special effects and horror used will definitely make even the most avid thrill seeker jump from their seat more than once. For full effect, try playing Try To Fall Asleep at night while wearing headphones.
