Yup. It's right up there with "Hello everybody my name is Markiplier" and "TOP O' THE MORNIN TO YA LADDIES, MY NAME IS JACKSEPTICEYE!" Y'know, before he stopped. Cause he's old now.
@@gilbertotabares8196 Agreed
HEY, VSAUCE MICHEAL HERE
i think those shadows at the start are due to the child's lack of object permanence
well we don't really see it in the rest of the game and besides the most likely reason is that it's representing the darkness that absorbs and follows the mother which would be the alcohol and the hatred of her ex husband
"hugging teddy illuminates the surroundings"
Me "I still cant see a damn thing"
I'll always remember that line, "You got to stop hiding from mommy"
it's such a subtle but unsettling line.
Implies that things aren't all they seem..
Foreshadowing.
"I'm sorry mother but I have to hide from you and your drinking problems.."
@@JohnnyFazbearAnimates Exactly..
@@JohnnyFazbearAnimates this would be me when I was little 😐 my mom was like the mom in the video game, she said, I DONT WANT YOU AS A DAUGHTER etc. she stopped but it still hurt 🥲
Imagine telling your baby he looks adorable and just says "Aw, thanks" in this guys voice. What do you do?
"HONEY? WHAT AGE DO KIDS HIT PUBERTY?"
@@Beterperter then the kid answers "in 10 years"
My cousin started saying words at a few months so...

The song that the mother was humming is called “troll mother’s lullaby”, it’s originally from Scandinavia/the Nordic
Mother is Scandinavian confirmed
I just want to know how you knew that
OMG THAT SONG WAS MY CHILDHOOD!!!
@@emeraldskies8254 I'm norwegian, I had heard the lullaby when I was younger
@@saraelisabethnorheimjrgens6036 ok cool
This was a big fat part of my childhood memory for some reason
Great game
It is literally a gold mine of memories.
It was! I’ve only seen Mark play this game but I never bothered to see other people play this game, it’s kinda a refresher for me personally
I remember this game back when it was popular. This is pure nostalgia.
The good old days
Great game
@@tofugamer7614 and some bad ones.
When the baby eats the cake you can hear baby noises
Same
Mike: "this might not have anything to do with the mother"
*_foreshadowing_*
"Youve got to stop hiding from mommy."
Implying he hides from her all the time? Why?
She looks creepy (to me she does)
Because (SPOILER) she is an alcoholic
@@julialungan4722 giving me flashbacks to when I used to hide myself and my siblings from my dad when he was an alcoholic fhdsjhkd
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 am 8 and I do
@@shadowstripes704 yea i knew from the roblox profile pic
@Gamer Girl kids always do even thirteen year olds.
@Gamer Girl it sounds like I'm making fun of you but that made no sense
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.
It seems like fantasy but it’s unexpectedly realistic.
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)
woah!
Woah.......HO-
SO ITS POSSESED?
Btw, the gallery is the chapter from the dlc.
I think maybe its supposed to reperesent that the parents are dicvorced since its cut in half?
The mother said time for bed while it’s daytime outside.
Yes. I used to have an 8:30 bedtime and it is light out until 9:30 in the summer
And the mom just gave the child one spoon full of cake and she said "Oh my how much cake did you have" 🎂🍰🥧
@@michelleschrock9141 She didn't put enough sleeping powder in it
@@MillyKKitty LOL 🤣😂
I mean dont babys usually sleep during like noon? Dont babies spend most of their time sleeping(is 2 years old still counted as a baby?)
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
THERES BANANA PJS *me after i lock the room door* *SCREAMS SO LOUD THE WINDOWS SHATTER AND THE DOOR FALLS OFF THE HINGES!!!*
@@writingwithwolves i hope nobody was trying to open a door when you screamed!
When it's night I get really scared because after I watched life of luxury I GET SUPER FREAKED OUT AND HIDE UNDER MY BLANKET
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 missed this game, I wished the company created another
@Astøria Galaxy i think they closed down after the released the dlc 😭
Same
@Astøria Galaxy yeah same, I hope SHB plays the dlc prequel
Same I wish there was a among the sleep 2
I feel your pain ;-;
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.
She was, the parents are divorced.
Also the monster if the mom, sne trys to kill the bear because it was a gift from the child's father, the mkm is an achoholic and most likely an abuser
We haven't seen the end yet but let's say that the kid gets a happy ending.....
I’d say teddy is an actual fluffy robot cause otherwise, how does it walk?
@@rosa-san5259 it's the kids imaginenation trying to make this experience less scary by pretending the Teddy is alive
@@thesupernaturalhouse Well that’s...reassuring
@@rosa-san5259 yeah.... this kid is gonna have a lot of ptsd when he's older
I love how you response to everything like the 'Who wants cake?' 'Me!'
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
Yeah you're right. 😄
My mom just made cake
@@amiano59e4thats so inconvenient XD
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!!!*
*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......
So in the painting, the woman drank from the well and turning into a witch portraying her mom drinking alcohol and becoming drunk and abusive
I feel bad for this child and his wild imagination
Babies don’t deserve abuse
Probably CPTSD or DID that child got some spicy memories
I remember that one of the characters is called heap.
I remembered DanTDM Played this. It's a long time coming for Mike to play this.

*"What is going on"* 🎵
*"my names Dan,and I dont know what to do"*
I remember when guava juice played it YEARS ago
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. 😊.
I also think the Teddy JUST might be the father's gift to the son. Since it only appeared AFTER she went to answer the door and had an argument with the man.
@@SioxGreyWolf same
actually, the child is trapped in a mess with two horrible parents, the mother was alcoholic because the father was abusive, it was explained in the DLC story.
@@lunolionreacts2362 It's possible she could have been like this from the start. Maybe he was trying to protect the kid from his ( or her ) mother and she either couldn't or wouldn't stop.
Ngl when I heard the words "Among the sleep" a nostalgic wave hit me
"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.
Oh Really?
@@blaisepayzdexter7944
Are you thinking i misphrased because i said "h2o delirious and superhorrorbro" right? Yeah no i meant i got into scary stuff and then found superhorrorbro.
Guess I just found another horror game to play instead of my homework
Probably gonna get woooshed but it is June and there is no school
@@Nick8944. what if they are in college some colleges don't have summer break
@@Nick8944. actually some schools still have school in June, it’s past mid-June and I’m only graduating tomorrow, and then I still have two days left, they’re probably in the same situation
Or they might be in the Southern Hemisphere, where it’s Winter.
You still got school?
Imagine how awesome (and terrifying) this game would be in VR
It's funny how teddy repeats everything after you or same time.
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
I actually think the bear wasn’t alive. It was the child’s imagination making him come to life
"I guess that's normal, right?"
*Teddy Proceeds to get dragged by invisible forces*
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.
I love this game ever since markiplier played it like i think 6 years ago
19:30 IM SO GLAD you did the “wheee”
It's amusing how Mike is scared when the witch is there but still collects pictures. Hahaha
The atmosphere this game creates is insane. I was scared out of my mind the first time I watched a playthrough
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
You have to love how Mike figured out the ending before even getting to the ending.

I very clearly said your name and not mine.
@@jennifertucker1496 you spelt it wrong
Take a closer look at what I wrote at the end and then compare it to your user name.
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!
She wasn't scared, she was mad because she's the abusive one.
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.
And the teddy represents the father, a comfort character for the baby, who the mother tries to take away from him. 😔
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 nostalgia practically almost drowned me.
God I remember watching people play this when I was a kid and enjoying alot of it, not much of the horror though heh
The Story for this game is incredible! I was obsessed with game when I was younger. I think you’ll really enjoy it
Such an original game. So fun... I remember when it first came out
Same bro
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
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 :)!
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?)
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.
OH MY GOD THE MEMORIES!!!!
Ikr
I absolutely loved this game, thank you for playing this game !
I love the idea of hwo hugging the teddy keeps child safe cause children hug their toys and imagine that as being safe
God im ready to cry when THAT THING does something to teddy :(
Understandable for a underaged girl
@@amiano59e4 very.
Bro the amount of nostalgia this gives me just makes me realize I'm growing up.
I loved this game. I played the whole thing. It is like little nightmares but with dialogue. Oh how the nostalgia.
It’s been ages since I last saw this game !!! This is a throw back !
My dumb self to the teddy when he lights up: 🎶🎵"BABY YOU LIGHT UP MY WORLD LIKE NOBODY ELSE!"😩🎵🎶
I knew I wasn't the only one who thought that!!!

I call it dad-

I don't know if you read all comments, but I just wanted to let you know that you are my favorite horror content creator, be in your theories, explanations and gameplays. I hope you keep up the great work and grow more
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
Oh my god I love this game it's very simple but effective.
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.
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 😌
Superhorrorbro -> *goes to different place* where are we?
Me -> the sleep paralysis demons favorite place called "no sleepy night night time for you"
There was a time it felt like I died in my sleep after playing
it’s so weird i was JUST watching old videos of someone playing this last night-
I never thought I'd see the day which this game gets to have the sun shine on it once more.
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
Yeah and then someone make a song out of it,ya know?

His voice is so calm and yet you can still tell when he’s scared or freaked out
It's so funny how Mike's voice in his playthrough is different than in his theories.
True
In his theories he sounds more serious lol
