Slumber Clause

From the creator of Speed Dating for Ghosts comes a new weird text adventure about death and sleep paralysis set in the late 1980s.


Slumber Clause is a roleplaying, point-and-click throwback to the classic text adventures of the 80s and 90s with modern choice mechanics and a character-driven story about nightmares, death, and ephemera—all in glorious 4:3.

Play as a recently-widowed paramedic mom battling a mean case of sleep paralysis. When you're not trying to hold your waking life together, you're navigating surreal dreams of unspeakable beauty and endless possibilities that always seem to end in tragedy. All the while, a hooded figure stalks you. Collect clues to discover who they are and what they want.

Slumber Clause will be released episodically using Steam's Early Access system, with pricing for the entire game increasing when each new episode is added.
