Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“There are two reasons:

A) I want feedback on game balance because future updates will introduce new Survival Mechanics that will need extensive testing to balance them out. By involving the players in the development process and iterating on their feedback, I can make the best possible version of "YOU MUST SLEEP: Ravenous Nightmares"!

B) The core experience is already fully playable and, I believe, fun in its current state. Early Access lets the Steam community jump in and enjoy the game now while I continue adding new features, content, and improvements on the road to the finished 1.0 version.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It is difficult to accurately predict how long Early Access.

At my current pace, the earliest version 1.0 could be 4-6 months from the Early Access Release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“My goal for the full version of YOU MUST SLEEP is a more polished, feature rich version of the game with more content.

Throughout Early Access, I plan to release a number of updates that add new content to the game such as new survival mechanics, new entities and expanding the narrative.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, "YOU MUST SLEEP: Ravenous Nightmares" is fully playable and it includes a campaign with 6 unique creatures with post-game mods such as Custom Night and Marathon.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“I'm not planning on changing the price when this game leaves early access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Playing in Early Access means getting to play the earliest version of YOU MUST SLEEP: Ravenous Nightmares.

It will be imperfect, but I want you to join me in developing a game that you are excited to play. Along the way, I will share my thoughts and my inevitable mistakes. In return, I want to hear from you! You will get my full, undivided attention. Your feedback really matters to me and will determine the future of this game.

Being an Early Access player requires a level of understanding and compassion for the game development process and excitement for the future of the game. If you are happy to come along for the journey (it may be bumpy at times), I am excited to have you!

About This Game

YOU MUST SLEEP, yet monsters keep you awake!

Inspired by games like "Five Nights at Freddy's 4", "The Joy of Creation", and the FNAF series in general, "YOU MUST SLEEP: Ravenous Nightmares" will put you in the shoes of John, a man who would do anything to cure his insomnia, even dabbling in the occult.

One day, a mysterious site appears on John’s browser tabs, promising him a good night’s sleep as long as he attempts a strange ritual...He will soon find out that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

EVADE IMMORTAL MONSTERS

5+ immortal monsters will manifest when John tries to sleep, each with their own unique way of harming John. Listen for sound cues, keep your grip on the blanket, and hide under it if the monsters get too close to survive the night!

SURVIVAL MECHANICS

The world still moves on, regardless of John's personal hell.  Manage various stats, such as STRESS and WARMTH, during the day to ensure the night proceeds as smoothly as possible. To survive the ritual, YOU MUST SLEEP!

UNCOVER THE TRUTH

Use John's Laptop to access the mysterious occult site and learn more about the Sleep Sigil Ritual. Perhaps the admins know a thing or two about the monsters...

POST GAME MODES

Beating the campaign once will unlock various post-game modes, such as CUSTOM NIGHT and MARATHON, offering tons of replayability!
