I will never get sick of the words... _"Hey guys, SuperHorrorBro Mike here"_

This was a big fat part of my childhood memory for some reason

I'll always remember that line, "You got to stop hiding from mommy"

"hugging teddy illuminates the surroundings" Me "I still cant see a damn thing"

i think those shadows at the start are due to the child's lack of object permanence

Imagine telling your baby he looks adorable and just says "Aw, thanks" in this guys voice. What do you do?

I remember this game back when it was popular. This is pure nostalgia.

The song that the mother was humming is called “troll mother’s lullaby”, it’s originally from Scandinavia/the Nordic

Mike: "this might not have anything to do with the mother" *_foreshadowing_*

Did anyone else notice that the memory in stage one was hidden under what looked like a blanket covering the tree? It would make sense, kids view blankets as safe areas sometimes.

I love how you response to everything like the 'Who wants cake?' 'Me!'

This is probably one of my favorite horror games, because its not just scary jumpscares and a scary environment but once you get the story its a really scary story of addiction and abuse.

The mother said time for bed while it’s daytime outside.

"Youve got to stop hiding from mommy." Implying he hides from her all the time? Why?

A secret for the story: in the mom's room, there's a picture that's cut in half and there are the parents on the picture. (Bonus the teddy is a skeleton, it's shown in the gallery)

There is a museum in the game with a secret “ original ending” that is so cool I can’t wait to see his reaction to that (try collecting all the drawings to unlock the banana footy pajamas) also there is a DLC as well that well explain a lot more to the story

When the mom left the room in the beginning she said what are you doing here I assume she was arguing with the father. I have a theory about the talking teddy maybe the mother had a falling out with the father and the teddy bear he gave his child had a walkie talkie or a camera in it so in the childs mind they assumed that their teddy bear could talk. Plus the teddy bear was all patched up.

I missed this game, I wished the company created another

The idea of representing the child’s imagination is such a great idea. The idea of the teddy keeping the child comfort and giving the child light. This game being brought back is such nostalgia, as it is still a great game for even the technology of 2021.

I like how he only had like one piece of cake an the mother said "how much cake did u eat?" or something like that

Everyone who plays this: * tries to runs from the scary* Me: *C R A W L I N G I S F A S T E R T H A N W A L K I N G!!!*

I remembered DanTDM Played this. It's a long time coming for Mike to play this.

*HUGE SPOILERS HERE* If anyone needs the story or context here it is, last warning *HUGE SPOILERS AHEAD* (even though I assume that most of us have seen others play the game) You play as a kid with divorced parents the person fighting with the mom At the start is the dad, the "monster" is the mom who is an achoholic and most likely abuses the child, the dad trys to see his kid but the mom doesn't allow it, eventually at the end the dad comes to take the kid away with him. The parents most likely got divorced and were both allowed to see the kid but the mom not allowing the dad to see his kid and knowing about his wife's drinking problems, most likely the reason they divorced, made him eventually gain custody. the game that you are playing is simple the child's imagination Turning the house into the forest the memorys are the kid trying to cope with his drinking mother,, trying to make himself happy...... being drunk, trys to destroy the Teddy by putting it in the washer, she also forcefully takes the Teddy away frkm the kid, she does this because she is drunk and the bear is a gift from the father. This is the summary of the story, also This kids gonna have a lot of ptsd when he grows up......

For the story, I think the parents are divorced and this poor kid is in the middle of this mess (maybe a custody battle with the father) and his talking bear might be this kid’s escape from a horrible reality. 🥺. This was just my first thought when I saw how the mother acted when she answered the door. She acted very apprehensive. Granted, I’m not fully sure if the mother is keeping the kid from the father or if it’s the other way around(the father wanting to get the child from the mother). I feel so sorry for this child, at least he has a cute bear to hold on to. 😊.

"You gotta stop hiding from mommy" hits different after finishing the game.

This kinda stuff makes me so fricking scared, but I seriously cant stop watching this kinda stuff. *”My theory hat is on.”* Every theorist: You have a have a theory hat?

YES! FINALLY! this game brings back so many memories! I can't wait for the series! This was the reason i even got into scary stuff. Not only that but it is the reason i found h2o delirious AND superhorrorbro.

Ngl when I heard the words "Among the sleep" a nostalgic wave hit me

Guess I just found another horror game to play instead of my homework

Imagine how awesome (and terrifying) this game would be in VR

It didn’t occur to me years ago but I’ve realized two things so far: 1 “the you have to stop hiding from mommy” line could be just be him wandering like a normal child or them actively hiding cuz he’s scared of her which we do see is the case a bit 2: the teddy being taken from the crib was likely the mom taking it cuz she didn’t want anything the father touched being with her child(im pretty sure the dad is the one brought the teddy right?)

Oh my god, I was _just_ reminiscing about this game!! I was just thinking about when the first time I realized that horror could be used to explore advanced themes last night, and yeah, this game was about the first exposure tiny me got to that. Mike has a direct pipeline into my brain, I swear

It's amusing how Mike is scared when the witch is there but still collects pictures. Hahaha

I love this game, I was so excited to see you playing it! My favorite part is how the kid gently pats Teddy's head every time he gets picked up.

It's funny how teddy repeats everything after you or same time.

19:30 IM SO GLAD you did the “wheee”

"I guess that's normal, right?" *Teddy Proceeds to get dragged by invisible forces*

I actually think the bear wasn’t alive. It was the child’s imagination making him come to life

Teddy: We need someplace very dark Me: my soul

The atmosphere this game creates is insane. I was scared out of my mind the first time I watched a playthrough

You have to love how Mike figured out the ending before even getting to the ending.

Rewatching this again. The discussion at the door I think what it was about. SPOILERS: The person at the door was the father who wanted to see his kid on his birthday but his ex-wife, the mother, said “NO!” Which is why the present is given to us. Though I’m sure everyone kind of got that. It’s more interesting rehearing the dialogue knowing what will happen

My theory on among the sleep: according to his reaction to the knock on the door, I have a feeling that the family has gone through some insane drama, most likely abuse, or alcohol addiction which is possibly why the mother seemed so scared when she heard the knock. Our player begins to have hallucinations based on the strong hatred, the mom has for the possibly divorced dad!

I love this game ever since markiplier played it like i think 6 years ago

The Story for this game is incredible! I was obsessed with game when I was younger. I think you’ll really enjoy it

God I remember watching people play this when I was a kid and enjoying alot of it, not much of the horror though heh

I’m gonna be honest this game terrified me so much as a kid. And the developers did such a great job on the game I was really terrified of Drippy lady and closet monster mostly the most like they did good in their design but still Terrified me 0-0 . Btw Super I like this video can’t wait to see next part :)!

Such an original game. So fun... I remember when it first came out

Among The Sleep is a game highly notable for having a drastic case of The Ending Changes Everything: what initially appeared to be a straightforward horror game is revealed to be a story of an alcoholic mother and her toddler who is trying to make sense of their surroundings.

Oooh. Among the sleep. Nice choice.😁👍 Y'know don't be afraid of these older games. They're a creepy lore goldmine. Plenty to keep ya busy.

I absolutely loved this game, thank you for playing this game !

The nostalgia practically almost drowned me.

Fun fact: the voice actor who does the voice of the Teddy Bear is the same guy who did the voice of Ghostface from the Sceam franchise.

The ladie drinking from the well than turning into a monster could symbol the mother’s drinking and it turning her abusive or mean or not like herself

Yaaaaay! I love this game! I can’t wait to hear your reactions throughout the playthroughs!

I love this game! Im really glad you are visiting the classics!

My dumb self to the teddy when he lights up: 🎶🎵"BABY YOU LIGHT UP MY WORLD LIKE NOBODY ELSE!"😩🎵🎶

“The entity” I call it dad- :) This my friend is why you don’t make deals with demons

It’s been ages since I last saw this game !!! This is a throw back !

Oh I remember this one! Such a great game, glad to see you playing it.

God im ready to cry when THAT THING does something to teddy :(

OH MY GOD THE MEMORIES!!!!

I completely forgot this game existed, Thanks for reminding me this masterpiece exists Mike!

I loved this game. I played the whole thing. It is like little nightmares but with dialogue. Oh how the nostalgia.

Oh my god I love this game it's very simple but effective.

Bro the amount of nostalgia this gives me just makes me realize I'm growing up.

You have NO idea how long I’ve been waiting for this! Thank you so much!!!

I love the idea of hwo hugging the teddy keeps child safe cause children hug their toys and imagine that as being safe

The best story explanation We have, is that the mother is an abusive alcoholic that gained custody from the father who is also abusive. In the beggining, he comes for his visit which she refuses so he leaves a present for the kid. Her booze addled mind can't process things which is why she's so spastic and ends the kids birthday after one bite of cake. She just wants to drink (it's also like 1 pm showing that she doesn't take care of the child) The bear has a walkie talkie and spy camera inside it, hidden by the father so he can capture footage of her abuse. She "drowns" the teddy, imagining it as the father, but the kid finds his toy before the spy equipment is destroyed. Throughout the game, the kid is constantly tortured and abused by his mother, however they perceive it in a childlike way. the forest scenes and cabin represent the child's only happy memories which is why they always return after being traumatized by mom. At the end of the game, the father shows up with police and cps, having seen and recorded everything the mother did, and being able to prove that she wasn't fit to take care of the child. However this is not a happy ending and the child is just going to another form of abuse.

There was a time it felt like I died in my sleep after playing

I remember watching DanTDM play back in the day and it scared me so much I would avoid any jump scares or view them with a hand over my face and open my fingers lol

This is so cool! I can't wait for the story behind the game!🤩

it’s so weird i was JUST watching old videos of someone playing this last night-

Nice vieeddd

oh wow, this just hit me with a wave of nostalgia. this game broke me as a kid, thanks for playing it (and not to mention i blinly went into a ONE CHANCE playthrough video. you can figure how scarred i was for a solid three days)

I remember this one. It was so creepy and just sad! Glad to see you playing it!

I feel quite nostalgic :'0

The shados what is greeping up is traging the mom in and Fill her Heart with darkness

Superhorrorbro -> *goes to different place* where are we? Me -> the sleep paralysis demons favorite place called "no sleepy night night time for you"

Excited for the Story Explained on this one! I haven't seen a playthrough of this game yet, so it's exciting to figure out what all of the different area/items mean by the end

You should check out the game epic mickey. You'd definitely like it

"No no let's call her a witch" I don't know about you- But I like "Demon Mama" better 😏

The fact that this reminds me of back then when horrors games wouldn't do that repeated or copy n pasting gameplay and everything was original. Oh the good old days. They shall be missed

Yay I'm really happy you're covering this game. It has a interesting narrative and pov of child trauma.

Hey Mike could you check out the game series called Obscure and the suffering please

Are you going to do a Story Explain for this game?

Omg!!! SOOOOO much nostalgia right here! This is one of those horror games that started my love for these games!

Haven't heard of this one in a while! Thanks for the video

Wow i get some good flash backs watching this game again in a long time ty for making this

What a unique idea! I can't wait to see more!

I never thought I'd see the day which this game gets to have the sun shine on it once more.

SuperHorrorBro: *makes a gameplay about this underrated game* Me who has been a fan for horror games for 4 years: Ah the nostalgia This game was one of the games that got me into horror games when I watched gameplays of it 😌
