**Among the Sleep** is a first person horror adventure game released in 2014. The game involves a toddler going through various strange areas to find four memories to find his mother.

The girls initially played the Alpha demo, which slightly differs from the actual game. The girls that played the demo and the main game differ as well, with Mariya and Rashae playing the demo and Sydney and Andrea playing the main game.

It is not known why Mariya or Rashae did not play the main game, though it can be presumed that they were too busy to continue playing the game.

The game also had a DLC that was available, though the girls did not play it at the time. They would eventually play it in a livestream in 2016, with Mackenzie and Stephanie playing the game.

### Alpha demo

The Alpha demo was uploaded on May 28th, 2014 and was the 94th video uploaded onto the channel. This was Mariya and Rashae's only Among the Sleep playthrough.

The girls begin the game and react innocently enough. The music then begins to get eerier, as the child wakes up. The teddy bear then gets lifted away and the crib falls, Rashae being the most freaked out.

Mackenzie has already called the game messed up for having a toddler be the main character, as the girls use a chair to open a door. They hear a voice in the distance and begin to walk towards it.

Mackenzie attempts to be stealthy and calls the baby "Baby Ninja". The girls reach the washing machine, though Rashae and Mackenzie aren't too pleased about it. The girls unplug the washing machine, Rashae questioning the safeness, as they retrieve the teddy bear.

The girls hear the wooden fence open, Rashae freezing in terror. The girls go downstairs and roam the lower floor. The girls then hear glass breaking, making Rashae more nervous. Rashae sees a rack of shoes, which she comments that she either swore she saw something or she's going crazy.

The girls continue their merry way, Renae picking up a toy bunny, Rashae jumping to the lightning, and Mariya getting anxious as the heart beats faster. Mackenzie appears to be bored of the game and wants it to get to the point.

The girls reach the mother's room and climb on the bed to find the mother missing. The girls hear something, making them scared. Mackenzie calls for the baby to hide under the blanket while Mariya and Renae hides under the bed.

Rashae questions why the mother would just leave the baby all alone, while Renae questions why the baby isn't wearing shoes when there's a rack of shoes. They continue their way until they reach the dining room where a jumpscares makes three of the girls scream.

Mackenzie calls for the game to end, as the girls make their way to the basment. It should be noted that throughout the whole playthrough, the girls comment that the baby might be on drugs.

The girls reach a furnace-like machine and hops in, though Rashae is very reluctant to. They find themselves in a strange area with planks going across the abyss, Mariya commenting that it is not safe for a baby to be crawling on the planks.

They reach the house and sends the bear inside through a window. The teddy bear unlocks the door as the girls enter the house, the playthrough then ends.

### Part One

The first part was uploaded on June 9th, 2014 and was the 99th video uploaded onto the channel. From this part onwards, Sydney and Andrea step in to play the game in place of Mariya and Rashae.

The girls being the game as it starts with blurred vision, Renae comparing it to being in a jar of honey. The vision clears ups as the mother walks over to the table with a cake, Sydney commenting that the cake is rather large for one toddler.

The mother begins to feed the cake to the child, Andrea urging the child to spit it out. Sydney says that the mother should let the kid dig his hands in the cake and eat it, saying that it's the best part.

Then there's a knock on the door and the mother gets up to get it, Renae urging her not to. Mackenzie jokes that it is her ex-boyfriend who has come for the rent money that she can't pay, as the child's vision begins to blur again.

The girls question why the child's vision is blurring, Renae and Mackenzie asking what the mother put in the cake. Andrea calls the birthday the worst party since the child is alone with his mother and seemingly has no friends.

The mother comes back with a present, saying that they'll open it upstairs. She picks the child up and jokes about how much he ate, which Mackenzie and Andrea shoot back saying that they just took two small bites.

The mother carries the child to his room as the game's intro plays. Afterwards, the mother teases the child by half opening the present, Sydney is the only one to notice her tanned ring finger where her wedding ring should be and comments on it.

The mother then puts the present on top of the drawers and puts the child in his crib. After the mother leaves, the present begins to move and they girls hear a voice, getting their attention.

The girls climb out of the crib and Mackenzie and Andrea use the drawers to grab the present off of it, only to see that it is empty. Sydney sees a big red button and justifies that, as a child, she must press the big red button. Sydney, along with Andrea and Renae, press the button which turns on the train.

The girls finds a chest with Teddy in it and opens it to get Teddy out. The bear then moves, causing Andrea to jump. After Teddy introduces himself, he then asks to play a game where he hides the pink elephant when they're not looking.

Teddy then asks them to turn around and cover their eyes, Andrea and Mackenzie outright refusing to do so. Afterwards, the girls walk around the room and the bear follows them, creeping some of the girls and wanting him to stay away.

After they've found the elephant, Teddy grabs a book and asks what it is, Andrea answering bluntly. The bear reads the book to the child, though Andrea is not interested. Afterwards, the bear moves over to the train, not before stepping on the book and angering Renae.

As the bear approaches the train, Sydney immediately gets to the red button to turn it on. The bear then tells them that he wants to show them something, but it has to be in someplace dark and suggests the closet.

The girls are unsettled at the fact that the bear just asked a child to go into the closet. Once in the closet, the girls begin to close the door, though Renae reluctantly does so, looking at the camera and back at the game.

After closing the closet doors, the bears asks them to pick it up. They do and the bear lights up. Sydney and Mackenzie look around the closet and immediately compares it to Narnia.

The girls begin to walk through the closet, Andrea and Renae being the most scared since it is dark save for Teddy's light. Andrea comes across a figure and stares at it, horrified, before realizing that it is just a coat.

Renae and Andrea continue to be creeped out by the closet, as they being to hear something. Suddenly the closet doors open, jumping some of the girls, and the mother appears to pick them up and put them back in the crib.

The girls get out of the crib and go to find the door, Andrea panicking since it's rather dark. The darkness makes it a little hard for the girls to find the door, though they eventually find it and open it.

The girls reach the laundry room and unplug the washing machine, saving Teddy. After grabbing Teddy, the girls go downstairs and into the living room. Renae comments that even though she's played this part of the game already, she is still scared.

The girls hear something, Renae resorting to hiding under the bed. The girls exit the room, Sydney and Renae noticing the drag marks on the ground, and make their way to the dining room where Renae remember that there's a jumpscare at this point.

The jumpscare still gets her, as it also makes Andrea jump, though Sydney doesn't react to it as much. They move on into the basement, and into a room with a hole in the wall, which they then proceed to enter.

The girls reach an area where there are planks acting as bridges over the abyss. Andrea wants to hug the teddy bear, as Renae also tries to look for it before turning around and seeing that it's behind her.

The girls reach the house and sends Teddy into the window of the door as it unlocks the door for them. Sydney and Renae comments on the child petting the bear as he pick it up, saying that it is cute.

Andrea makes it to the edge and attempts to jump, but fails as the toddler falls to his death, Andrea noticing that he cries when he dies, which she rolls her eyes at. Renae finds a sandbox and attempts to play in it but can't, making her disappointed.

The girls find another owl and hear loud noises, which creeps them out. It is then suddenly dark out, which makes Renae worried. The girls walk around some more and hear more noises, as they find a trapdoor and enter it.

As they enter it, the door suddenly closes above them, the sound of the doors closing making Renae scream. The girls wander in the small cave and find their next owl, again, in the middle of an abyss.

Teddy says that they hope the toddler's mother is okay, Renae and Andrea hitting back saying that they're not okay with the situation. Sydney attempts to walk on the plank but falls off and dies, she is then horrified to learn that she just killed the toddler.
