Having played Among the Sleep, I can confidently say I'll never choose to be a baby. It is awful. Scary things happen and I don't know why and I can't even reach door handles. I will play one in a video game, though. As the end of its crowdfunding campaign nears, developer Krillbite has released a demo from an early alpha build of the first-person scarer to lure in more backers.

Babies are so stupid. They're tiny little idiots who think the world ends if you cover their eyes and are scared of almost everything. They're rubbish. But imagine you were one of these miniature fools, fleeing from unreal terrors in your onesie. That's unpleasant. Among the Sleep wants to do that to you, if you'll help crowd-fund it.

As adults, the idea of babyhood can be terrifying. Seeing from a perspective inches above the ground, you're faced with horrible leering clowns and fanged pets larger than you, and have no control over anything. Among The Sleep is tapping into this, the first gameplay trailer has revealed, as a first-person horror game played from the perspective of a two-year-old who's seemingly not quite alone in a spooky house. A bit like Amnesia with babies, see.
