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!

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.

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 :)

Don’t Sleep es una propuesta indie que apuesta por una atmósfera tensa y psicológica más que por mecánicas complejas o acción frenética.

Good Game, wasn't expecting that ending at all. Wish had more lore.
Really enjoyed this one,I liked that it drew from a creepypasta (I'd assume since its set in Russia and about a sleep experiment)
