Among the Sleep is a first-person survival horror action-adventure video game developed by Norwegian developer Krillbite Studio.
Set in the 1990s, a toddler named David is having his second birthday celebration at his home with his mother Zoey. The celebration is interrupted by a visitor at the front door who is hidden from David, but the story suggests it is David's father Justin, with whom Zoey has divorced and married with an actress.
The conversation is muffled and partly kept from David as Zoey raises her voice, refusing Justin's request to see his child. Zoey's angry tone frightens David, whose fear is presented as blurred vision.
Quickly, Zoey returns with a gift, but she doesn't say who the gift is from. Instead, she carries David and the gift upstairs to the child's room, a place of bright, warm colors and streaming sunlight.
The gift is revealed to be a sentient teddy bear, who climbs out of the box and hides in the chest until David finds him. The bear introduces himself as Teddy. Teddy has a friendly, curious nature. After a few minutes playing they go into the closet, which turns out to be a large, dark room filled with long, dark colored coats.
Teddy says that if David gets scared in the dark, he can hug Teddy to feel more safe. Once David holds Teddy, he lights the way, acting like a flashlight.
Later that night, Teddy is taken away from David by an unseen force. David goes after it and finds Teddy inside a washing machine. He unplugs it and takes him out. Teddy realizes that something is not right and that they must find Zoey - their mother.
