Characters & Builds

Among the Sleep is a narrative-driven horror game, not an RPG, so there are no traditional 'characters' to build or 'classes' to choose from. You play exclusively as a two-year-old child, and your abilities are fixed. However, understanding the key 'characters' in the story and their roles is crucial for appreciating the game's narrative depth. This section will briefly outline the main entities you encounter and their significance.

The game's focus is on the emotional journey and the psychological horror experienced through the eyes of a vulnerable protagonist. Your 'build' is inherently that of a small child – limited in strength and speed, but possessing a unique perspective and an invaluable companion in Teddy. The 'characters' are more symbolic representations of emotions and relationships rather than traditional game personas.
