I was brought before the devil.. He peered at me with his glowing yellow eyes, echoing greed across the craven cavern. Or rather, I was cravenly, for I had been presented to Satan himself. But I held fast, knowing these might be my last words I may ever speak again.

"Let's make a deal, you son of a ♥♥♥♥♥."

The devil smirked, for he had made a million handshakes over a million deals, and this one would be no different. Men had cowardly traded their souls for greed, power, women. What would be the predictable request of this one?

"Speak."

I gulped, for gulping was quite the only appropriate response. Hesitantly, I returned fire.

"Half Life 3. You give me Half Life 3, and I give you my soul."

The lord of hellfire stroked his mangled beard. A proposition so ridiculous, there was certainly a string attached loosely, but a string Satan himself wanted to attach.

"Too easy. Your soul? Please. I have billions upon billions."

I recoiled, then fired back.

"Then what do you have in mind?

Satan once again gave his beard a tug, deep in thought. He carefully perused his mind for ideas, then rested upon one only he could conjure up. A nightmare so nightmarish that a nightmare would never hold a candle.

"You will get your Half Life. I will promise that. But you will do something for me."

"... Yes. Yes, what do you want?"

"You will play a game that few play, a jewel lost in the desert of Steam. You will make a pilgrimage. You will play Pajama Sam. You will be afraid of the dark that shrouds the outside, you will quiver and hide in terror."

I stumbled backwards, jumbling and fumbling, I could not comprehend his request. It was that of a villain, a villain who could be none other than the demon who guards the gates of Hell.

"Very well, and if I don't?"

"I will take your soul at this very moment, and that will be the end of it. You will never see Gordon Freeman wield a crowbar ever again."

"So what, I just play this stupid game and get Half Life 3?"

The devil smirked, for tricks and turns were his finely tuned speciality.

"No, it is not the mere act of playing, but the act of dedication, of concentration, of disassociated delusion."

I put my foot forward, taking part no more in his babbling.

"Enough riddles, demon. Explain what I must do."

A long pause seperated the two for what could have been an entire eternity.

"One thousand hours. You will play Pajama Sam for a thousand hours."

I think he wanted to break me. I knew he wanted to break me. But I had come this far, and I would not be beat.

"It's a deal,"

The fallen angel adopted an expression of absolute shock.

"Excuse me?"

I firmly restated my position.

"It's a deal, you son of a ♥♥♥♥♥. I will put in my time. I will conquer this game again, and again, and again, a thousand agains until the time count brings you to your knees."

"You're a fool."

"No. You see, I'm not afraid. I won't hide."

"You won't hide?"

"Not when it's dark outside."

MAXIMUM NOSTALGIA OH MY GOODNESS.

Evil Within has nothing on this title.
Hide when it's dark outside.
10/10

Nostalgia!

Nostalgia aside -- Actually very, very clever for a children's game. Where some Humongous titles are obviously meant for the age group printed on the box, PS is funny for all ages, and a cute little timewaster at the very least.

Well worth the purchase. Remember to explore and click on everything you see, and round up those socks!

This game "socks". HAHAHA, HAHA, HAH. No but seriously, its actually great and awesome. Nice writing, good humor, cute minigames. Gotta collect all those socks, man. (I am so tired right now) took me about two hours to beat the game. Did'nt get all the socks though, so there, replay value and stuff. I genuienely (is that how that word is written?) had a lot of fun with this game and it was quite funny. Buy it! =P

This game is actually kind of difficult sometimes.

Well, here we are, burning.

10/10 Flawless gameplay, outstanding graphics and gripping storyline.

I'd never really played much of this series before so I didn't know what to expect.

Wasn't really expecting the most amusing humongous game I've played. The writing seems to not be as kiddy and as a result is far more interesting (some of the jokes made me giggle a fair bit). The game's design is also fine enough too, 6 permutations of possible games and each object has a fairly decent-sized quest to go along with it. I think this game actually holds up quite well, shame I'd never played it before.

Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside - Raymond K. Turcotte

I love this game, the whole consept of it is quite unique in it's own way. Obviously it's a kids game, but now as a grown adult i still enjoy playing it. The whole seris "Pajama Sam" is like this one, brilliant!

An Instant Childhood Point-and-Click Classic from the Days of my Childhood, which consist of the old MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98 & Windows 98SE PCs in which you help Pajama Sam capture Darkness in the Land of Darkness by recovering his Superhero Gear (Pajama Sam Mask, Illuminator Mk. 5 Jr. Flashlight & Signature Edition All Metal Pajama Man Lunchbox aka Portable Bad-Guy Containment Unit).

[Deep in the bowels of an old power plant, a sinister plot is hatching...]

Darkness: Ha ha! At last the time has come to hatch my sinister plot!
This lever will activate my BLACKOUT GENERATOR and
the whole world will be thrown into eternal night!

Heroic voice: Not so fast, Darkness!

Darkness: Wha-?! PAJAMA MAN!

Pajama Man: That's right, fiend! And I have some gadgets of my own! Take that!

Darkness: AAARGH!! Not the Illuminator Mark 5!!!

Pajama Man: It takes 20 "D" batteries, you know. Do you have anything to say
before you're sucked into my portable bad guy containment unit?

Whatever the reason, be it the sense of the unknown, the dulling of the sense we tend to rely on most, or some other more inherent instinct, at some point we've probably all shared a fear of the dark and what might be lurking in it. My solution to this was pulling the covers over my head and sleeping with the lights on, but I suppose I didn't have a surreal world living in my closet like Pajama Sam so I couldn't very well head out and attempt to capture darkness in my lunchbox.

Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside is the blanket garbed, flashlight wielding protagonist's debut and one of the few Humongous games I never got a chance to play as a kid. And that's a bit of a shame as it might possibly be the best written, most logical and entertaining series the studio put out in their edutainment boom.

Characters are lively and over the top, with clever writing and a lighthearted sense of humor that makes them delightful to interact with. The twisting art is somewhere between a haunted house and an Escher painting and still looks fantastic even with the original low resolution, clearly distinguishing between items you can pickup and packing a lot of charming little touches into almost every nook and cranny.

This certainly isn't the most challenging (or possessing any challenge whatsoever for that matter), but its simple puzzles are no less fun to solve and helping Sam and his friends overcome their feels is all kinds of heartwarming. Perhaps I'm simply biased toward all of Humongous's catalog, even those I never played, but whatever the case the hour or so I spent with NNtHWIDO (oof, that's some acronym) was a rather surprisingly entertaining bit of breezy adventure gaming, and I'm now eager to see what Sam's future endeavors have to offer.

I have been wanting to play these games again for years so I'm really happy that you can play them on steam. They're great if you played them when you were young but probably not so fun if you're playing this now for the first time.
