Sleep is Death


In the late of last night, Jacob Cholak and I attempted a new computer game called, Sleep is Death. It’s an extraordinary game made by a curious and fascinating individual, Jason Rohrer. The game can only be played with two players. One in the role of the player, the other as the creator, the wizard behind the curtain. Each player has a 30 second turn to both advance and react to the unfolding story. It’s tremendously confusing, frustrating, hilarious, and unlike anything I’ve played before. Improvised adventure role playing computer game. Jake and I played through a couple times and were only ever able to come up with story-lines involving Dads, naked children, and cowering. Maybe some day we’ll figure out what that’s all about. In the meantime you can flip though one of the creations. Sleep is Death: Movie Rentals and the Late Voice of God
