The Deep Sleep Trilogy

Night folk: *exists* Gab: _wields pickaxe_ *Peace was never an option.*

[@nemesis7721roy]

Lol I had done the same thing when playing it for first time

[@chronoworld7070]

Definitely check Don't escape series after this. Same creator but you can see how his games evolve and in the end tie up perfectly. Some masterful writing! I think you would like it!

[@yjut-xm8rx]

Yes

[@cadavercat]

Yessss!!!! Please Gab it's a mind blowing wrap up

[@Day2DayClassyKay]

Yes! Don’t Escape series is really good too! Hoping she may give it a go if she is looking for something to play in the future!

[@yoitsjesse4522]

I'd like to revive the Don't Escape hype train, especially since she's been on a bit of an escape room kick recently. I feel like she'd appreciate Scriptwelder's spin on the genre.

[@eltirick6550]

it took 4 years but she finally did it lol

[@dslg_0417]

"it's a game that no one asked for" we may have no asked for it but we certainly enjoyed it anyway

[@idavis094]

That intro...already love this video.

[@twicethess-ratedghoul7859]

“No one asked for” - this is one of the best game trilogies I’ve ever seen and the story is so amazing and.. I’m so glad your playing it !

[@Lyander25]

Oh man I can't believe you're only just now playing this! The series scared the crap out of me years back but now I just look back on it fondly, lol. Talk about a blast from the past. Hope you do more random games like these!

[@mikaekieram8731]

So cool when see asked "is there something moving here?" And BB moves behind her

[@xmaa9x]

THIS WAS SO GOOD. please Gab, definitely do more "random, no one asked for it games"

[@LindyLime]

I'm a little late to this party, but the one small thing I can think of that you missed was near the end of Deeper Sleep after you go down the well. If you look back up the well you will see a host of shadow people looking down at you. That's why it tells you before heading down that you won't be able to turn back. Not essential to the game but a pretty cool moment.

[@Kingsly9802]

Scriptwelder also made the Don't Escape series which I would *highly* recommend. They aren't quite as spooky, but they have some seriously tough decisions and problem solving, as well as a bunch of cool endings. If you look close enough you might see some overlap between the two series. Heads up, Don't Escape 4 is a lot longer than it might appear on the surface. OK, no more spoilers, I really love the DS and DE series and it's hard to not fangirl over them. Something that you don't see unless you're on a second run through of the DS games: We know who the shadow figure giving you advice is at 20:00. Who is someone who leaves us notes and wants us to wake up? Someone who would want to break the cycle... Oh yeah, and OOBE is out of body experience, weird acronym usage.

[@Kingsly9802]

Oh, and similar-ish games you might like from other devs could be the Cube Escape/Rusty Lake series. But please, dear god, have the walkthroughs ready if you go to play them. The older games are painfully complicated and use 90's era adventure game logic.

[@username5606]

Thank youuu

[@fraxp.6567]

I'd ike to suggest the Cube Escape Series by Rusty Lake! Really good stuff.

[@ceaflare]

i love the Cube Escape series! I suggested it in some other indie horror's comments but I don't think she saw it. I really hope she plays it at some point! I went into it thinking it was just a normal point and click game cause I'm such a scaredy cat that I only watch others play anything with scares in it, but I loved the games so much that I kept going anyway

[@aurolaf]

oh yes, def rusty lake!

[@1000Puhtaters]

Yes, awesome series. I was just about to suggest this

[@curator3539]

That was crazy! That twist at the end of the third one, wow! Also that Junji Ito with the guy that keeps sleeping for longer and longer really freaked me out, almost as much as the balloon one.

[@argentinianspotter]

Now that you've played the Deep Sleep trilogy, you should play the Don't Escape trilogy! There's also Don't Escape: 4 Days in a Wasteland. All of them on Steam! Pretty please?

[@freakishuproar1168]

Oh dude! The _Deep Sleep_ trilogy was my go-to series on Newgrounds back in the day. Even just bringing up that website's name makes me feel like an atherosclerotic old man. Really glad you're given these games their fifteen minutes of retrospective fame, thank you Gabbers :D P.S. You can tell the game is old as balls because that of Nietzsche quote. I swear it was still a "mind = blown" thing back then! ;p

[@Nimyra11]

OMG this was soooo great. Why would we mind you playing a game you want to play?? My favorite vids are when you are having fun 😊👍 This was just so cool. I really liked the part where you had to be still/move the mouse slowly, it reminded me of in Until Dawn where you had to be still. (I was so bad at that LOL) As a last note your opening for this was hilarious LMAO

[@simo4108]

what a cool little trilogy, I loved this let's play!

[@Lawsonomy1]

"As long as you don't know your dreaming your safe" As a lucid dreamer I would rather know, then I would have my powers. Locked door? Nope, the door swings open along with the wall it's embedded in. Can't reach? Nope, I can fly! Ect.

[@V1nPerc]

How does she not have 1million subs

[@Lawsonomy1]

This is outdated now 👍🏼

[@RinaCatTay]

Came back to rewatch this after watching the 'Don't Escape' video.

[@MrStopchannel]

Scriptwelder has other games, the Don't Escape series is great and ties into this one (I think the 1st one doesn't, but the next 3 do).

[@martymarsy]

MrStopchannel Yooo! Please she needs to play the Don’t Escape series!!!!

[@Blufaicountri]

Actually the first one was the ‘strange dried herb’ reference in the kitchen of the second deep sleep game! That and the meat on the hook next to it.

[@cloverisblue]

AAAAAH yesss someone's finally playing this! i really love this trilogy. damn, so many memories...

[@Clara-sb2jv]

Heck yeah~ (sheep noise) I saw John played this a long time ago, so nice to revisit it again. Especially with Gab! Thank you for this surprise gift! I hope everyone has a nice weekend～

[@janabrkic426]

Aw yes, I love this series! The developer, scriptwelder has another cool spooky series you can check out if you want, it's called Don't escape!

[@Conjacks94]

I did NOT expect this collection of pixelated, point-and-click games to be so atmospheric and spooky!! 😰 (and I loved every second of their atmospheric spookiness 😄)

[@yjut-xm8rx]

Isn't it weird that some of the most spooky games (I have seen/played) are pixelated

[@LuluxSuzaYaoiLove]

i love that you intros of each recent videos are getting more and more chaotic, just the energy I needed :)

[@domolicious77]

Having Gab play in the background helps me do homework without being super distracted. I can follow along with the story and she’s very relaxed so no screamin lmao. It’s perfect and still entertaining without drowning out my own thoughts. Just wanted to share my appreciation 🥰💛

[@consciousnesshidden]

I know I'm super late. For some reason, KZbin suggested this series to me, and not gonna lie, it made my day. The Deep Sleep Trilogy has 3 of the best indie horror games I have checked out till now, and for them, age is really just a number. I'm glad you loved going deep into the dreams. PS: I'm certain other people have pointed it out, but I searched it on KZbin with no results, so I'm not sure about it: if you haven't already, play the Don't Escape Series by the same person, Scriptwelder. There are 4 games in it, of which the last one is the only long one. At first, it would look like they belong to a separate storyline and such, but there are many recurring elements (like the blue crystals, Sidereal Plexus Corp. and of course Cody) so technically, one can consider Don't Escape to be a continuation of this. And I'm sure, you will LOVE them. Plus there's more lore to go deep into, so yeah :D. Definitely check them out!

[@sinister1485]

You should try Rusty Lake Cube Escape series, if you haven't played before. Cool games. It's a psychedelic point and click room escape puzzle with great atmosphere.

[@tonybloodcherry]

Sinister everyone should try the Rusty Lake series to be honest

[@sinister1485]

@@tonybloodcherry Exactly

[@sophiafryer373]

The ending of the series plays on the newspaper clipping saying that a man's son had a totally new personality after waking up.

[@rebeccacook8149]

Haha, I actually just came from Seán's channel after watching him play "I remember this dream" which just kinda reminded me of this series. I looked it up and Mark and you were in the top results

[@omnifunkin7210]

8:19 Lesson 1: Don't try to fight Shadow People

[@donaldlovelace7180]

41:38 Gab: Now we have to keep going To go deeper... Deeper sleep... Remember playing this as a flash game on newgrounds! Brings back memories. The ending gave me quite a shock back then and ever since I've been practicing lucid dreaming. Also, I had to follow a play through as some of the puzzles were too hard for the young me. Good job Gab!

[@ravendelacrux]

They’re called shadow men and are part of the supernatural urban myths. Like demons melted in darkness, if a room isn’t protected they can lick your energy while sleeping and produce nightmares or make you feel without rest when getting up in the morning.

[@marsguyphil]

The "Don't Escape" series from the same author is also really good. The first three are short, you could finish them all in one video. "Don't Escape 4" is longer, and ties into the mythology of both series. If you liked these, you might give those a whirl. :)

[@Kata_maran]

This was such a good journey! I'm glad you played them back to back so we don't have to wait for the end. I did not see that ending coming for some reason and the atmosphere is awesome. I'm happy that you got to play it and enjoyed it. Please keep them coming! Thanks Gab ❤️

[@TheJac2000]

This game is very interesting. I myself often get 'stuck' in a dream, which means i know I'm dreaming but can't wake up, or I wake up into another dream. And that note that says 'as long as you don't know you're dreaming, you are safe' is so true to me because as soon as I know I'm dreaming, my mind would just conjure up everything I'm scared of. Because who knows better what you're most terrified of than yourself

[@maximusprime1487]

I’m so glad you are playing these. I remember playing them as flash games on the internet, great memories were made playing them.

[@reveriesance]

Oh damn, I did _not_ expect that twist in the end. What a game :o Thank you so much for introducing this to me!

[@Rodark_GR]

yay, another indie horror! you always find cool hidden gems

[@Shad0wmoses]

this was so good..i usually focus on gameplay heavy games but this point and click is beautiful.

[@thorrifieskittenbot1638]

Omg. It is super cool. It circled to the chasing part on the first one. Also,BB got me. Doing stuff behind. Lmao

[@Zack_Zander]

This was one of the many flash games I played in my past, and part of me is happy that newer KZbinr are playing the classic, but sad that flash game are coming to an end already

[@YassinElMohtadi]

[@teenagemutantninjagaijin6387]

it's called 長い夢 / Long Dreams. it's definitely not creepy per se, rather fascinating

[@reyhugo4879]

[@omgtatercat]

ManlyBadAssHero just recently played these, too. Nothing wrong with being late on a good game, so long as you play it

This was literally the best upload in this whole month!!! Please make more random horror games like this ♥♥♥ It was a real joy! Thank you so much Gab :)

[@zhouan786]

yeah gab! it's so fun to see this game again, like reuniting with an old creepy friend and it's even better to see you have fun playing it

[@snowflakedice]

This is awesome! Thanks for another good playthrough of an interesting indie.

[@liminal_spaces456]

I remember playing the Deep Sleep trilogy. Fun times.

[@Potat941]

And here I was thinking why “Sidereal Plexus” sounds so familiar… it’s also in Dont Escape: 4 days to survive! Another great game by the same dev 👍

[@floofzykitty5072]

Not what we asked for, but what we needed. I have seen two other people play this but I love seeing others reactions to them. Come to think of it, that self-aware nightmare I had ages ago might have pulled its' concept from this series. At least that's what I tell myself.

[@rainycat3496]

Fun act, you can't read when you're asleep. Yes, not only are your eyes closed, but the part of your brain that interprets text is asleep. The character is kinda lucid dreaming, which means that parts of the temporal lobe that are associated with memory and self awareness are awake.

[@curiousniffler]

Oh man, I remember playing this and never actually finishing Deepest Sleep because I got heavy scared. Why are pixel games so much scarier?? BTW The Last Door is also a good series to play.

[@chuttsh]

i just looked it up and she did the last door playthrough eight years ago heh

[@gregputnam7243]

Lucid dreaming is actually really hard and, once you get it, it is really exhausting. I use to do it but I only lasted 3 months. Now I just have sleep triggers I can do to see if I am sleeping. Common one is looking down at my hands and then back up at whatever was in front of me. If the scene changed, I know I am sleeping

[@Rivonar]

Loved that intro! Really fun watching you play these games c:

[@UnknowNinja]

Thanks for sharing. Been binging on videos all month

[@kate_isawesome1207]

The Deeper Sleep full note says "I first encountered this phenomenon in the early 80's, but it would seem They have existed since the down of the human race. Commonly known as the Night Folks, of Shadow People, they live in the realm of dreams but desperately want to get to our realm, by possessing vulnerable, unoccupied bodies. As long as you don't know you are dreaming, you are safe... They attack when they sense a mind detached from its body, which sometimes happens during comas, but much more often during OOBEs and Lucid Dreaming."

[@yjut-xm8rx]

Mr. Whiskers is another really good one that I enjoyed. It was also pretty scary 😱

[@danaondrackova3431]

I forgot this came out at the brink of youtube so every Sleep game has a youtuber easteregg :D I adore point-and-click adventures and I loved to play these

[@caitlynrae05]

THAT INTRO!!! I am so excited about this video!!

[@DrBeardfacePA]

You are primed for the Don’t Escape series. The first three are short like these, but the fourth is a full indie game. Really cool stuff.

[@SweetRottingCandy]

really enjoy your stuff, yes. Thank you doing this lil series!

[@punishedfist]

I had never heard of this, and I'm always glad to be introduced to new things. What I like most about watching streamers, is seeing them play things they're really into, whatever they may be. I am less interested in watching somebody play something because they think they should or solely because it is trending etc... So I hope you feel comfortable to choose things that *you* want to play!

[@Syv_]

This was really fun to watch. I randomly remembered this game and wanted to see it again but didn’t feel like playing it.

This game is just so fantastic, everything they've made is quality and wonderful! I hope you go through their entire catalog!

[@WORKOBEYFILMS]

This one is old school

[@gregputnam7243]

I feel like the game that put the series on the map was The Deepest Sleep. I remember being a huge fan of that game but I was confused at certain aspects of the plot. This helped clear some things up

[@gregputnam7243]

I think I even got exposed to this game from Pewdiepie
