Little Nemo and the Guardians of Slumberland
A downloadable game for Windows
Little Nemo and the Guardians of Slumberland takes the retro NES‑era platformer gameplay of games you know and love, and brings it to a vast, non‑linear world that has been lovingly hand‑animated frame‑by‑frame.
You’ll explore as you collect new ability-granting toys and PJs, discover enchanting lands inspired by Winsor McCay’s Little Nemo comics, and encounter a colorful cast of characters — all through the nostalgic lens of an ‘80s/’90s kid.
Whether you're looking for a hand-animated love letter to your NES platformer favorites, or have been considering trying your first metroidvania, this is for you!
