初めまして《ペニまる》と申します
YouTube配信にてゲーム実況させて頂きました。
とても不気味で雰囲気も良く、とても楽しくプレイさせて頂きました。
次回作も楽しみにしております。
ありがとうございました!
loved
Jump scare got me. Atmosphere was solid. 10/10
Awesome game,the vent really got me!
- A game with a disturbing atmosphere, especially knowing about the experiments conducted on the test subject. I would have liked to experience more of this horrific adventure, a very good game.
It really scared me. I especially liked the game's graphic style; it reminded me of the PlayStation 2.
definitely wont be sleeping after this game.. (its the second game in the vid)
very nice atmosphere ^^
Ребят, со всем уважением, но игра заслуживает 0 из 10. Тупо за софтлок с лестницей. Может мне одному так повезло, но даже три перезапуска игры ни к чему не привели. Жаль.
☠️🎭Nos encontramos en una INSTALACIÓN SPOVÍETICA en la cual se llevan a cabo diferentes EXPERIMENTOS macabros y aterradores que mas temprano que tarde nos llevaran a las tragicas consecuencias☠️🎭
Good job 👍
That was spooky! Very good, short horror experience. I look forward to more!
My gameplay:
Great game! I think the text should automatically disappear and be a bit above. Sometimes I got lost in the environment and forgot to catch up with the text.
She gave me false sense of security
the jumpscare in the vent totally got me
First Game On My Channel To Jumpscare Me Like That. Also One Of The Few Games I've Played I Feel Deserves Some Sort Of Sequel. loved it!
This is why you never sleep on the job ACE!! | Don't Sleep

Congratulations to all the creators of this indie game, the game is very good, good graphics, good sounds,y history I give you 5 stars, I want all the creators of this game to subscribe to my YouTube channel please, thank you, I am very excited about your subscription and support, greetings from Spain
tbh after getting stuck myself and seeing someone else, we struggled to figure out you can grab the ladder
Довольно добротный мини хоррор) Обстановка, атмосфера и графика чем то напоминает Resident Evil того времени) Маловато, но качественно!
Спасибо за теплые слова!

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!
