About This Game

FEAR OF SLEEP  is a sci fi horror game with an old-school aesthetic that refuses to hold your hand.

Descend into the MetroBunker — a sprawling subterranean shelter built in the shadow of war. As Roy, an R0-1 maintenance android, traverse industrial corridors, collapsing infrastructure, and cryptic interludes while grotesque creatures stalk the dark.

With a looming breach, your directive is simple: return to your maker before it’s too late. Each step deeper reveals sabotage, decay, and a spreading sickness.

No hand-holding. Carve your own path through terror, mystery, and survival. Wishlist now.

NO HANDHOLDING

No tutorials. No yellow paint or objective markers. No design safety nets protecting you from bad decisions. You learn by doing, failing, and adapting. Systems are consistent, brutal, and fair — survival comes from observation and experimentation, not scripted guidance. The game trusts the player to be smart enough to survive.

MULTI USE WEAPON UTILITY

Every weapon is a tool, not just a damage number. Guns, wrenches, and utilitarian gear serve multiple purposes: traversal, puzzle-solving, crowd control, environmental manipulation. The same tool that saves you in combat might open a path, trigger a mechanism, or affect enemies without dealing damage. Creative use defines survival.

PHYSICS MANIPULATION

The world obeys consistent physical rules — and you’re free to exploit them. Weight, momentum, and force shape every encounter. Objects can be pushed, stacked, shattered, weaponized, or turned into traversal tools. Systems interact dynamically, allowing for satisfying ah-ah! moments. Mastery comes from understanding how the world works — and how to make it work for you.

PLAYER INVESTIGATED NARRATIVE

The story is not told to you — it’s uncovered. Clues live in environments, discarded data, environmental details, and archived communications. Nothing pauses to explain itself. Players piece together what happened, what’s happening, and what it means. Understanding the world is optional… but ignorance is fatal.


VISCERAL GORE

Impact is immediate and physical. Damage has weight, consequence, and permanence. Enemies break, deform, and react dynamically to force and weapon type. Combat is messy, desperate, and uncomfortable — every encounter leaves evidence behind. Violence isn’t stylized spectacle; it’s raw, tactile, and unforgettable.
