Indie developer Scriptwelder and publisher Armor Games Studios have released Deep Sleep: Labyrinth of the Forsaken, the latest entry in the Deep Sleep series. Now available on PC via Steam, this new chapter pushes the series into its darkest territory yet, combining classic point-and-click adventure gameplay with tense, turn-based combat.
Players are invited into a haunting realm where the boundaries between dream and nightmare blur. In this world, lucid dreaming is the only weapon against the horrors that hunt in the shadows.
A Standalone Story of Dreams and Nightmares
In Labyrinth of the Forsaken, players step into the role of Amy, a woman searching for her brother Thomas, who was long presumed dead. Thomas’s fascination with lucid dreaming once seemed like an odd hobby—until Amy discovers his journals, which suggest he may still be alive, trapped deep within dreamscapes far removed from waking reality.
To uncover the truth, Amy must descend through shifting dream worlds, some breathtaking, others terrifying, while confronting the creatures that stalk her path. Exploration and puzzle-solving remain at the heart of the experience, but this time, players can also decide when to fight and when to flee.
Horror Meets Strategy
Unlike many survival horror games, Deep Sleep: Labyrinth of the Forsaken introduces a turn-based combat system. Encounters become deliberate, puzzle-like moments where resource management and careful planning are crucial. Each decision shapes Amy’s survival, pushing players to weigh their choices in a world where every action has consequences.
