Sleep Tight<\/em><\/a>, the arcade-style twin-stick shooter with base-building elements, is planned for release on July 26th for Nintendo Switch and PC.<\/p>\n

The game is created by a veteran team of Hollywood film artists and AAA game developers, including VFX artist Maxx Burman (Far Cry 5<\/em>,\u00a0Iron Man 3<\/em>,\u00a0Game of Thrones<\/em>) Disney illustrator Dylan Ekren (Wreck It Ralph<\/em>,\u00a0Zootopia<\/em>), and Ubisoft designer Oscar Mar (Far Cry 3<\/em>,\u00a0Tom Clancy\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0Splinter Cell: Conviction<\/em>,\u00a0Rainbow Six Siege<\/em>).<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Sleep Tight<\/em>, players choose between a cast of 12 kids whose bedrooms are assaulted every night by hordes of monsters pouring out from the dark corners of their homes. Using an array of toy weapons ranging from dart guns to water balloons, players hold the frightening creatures at bay until sunrise. Then they can cash in their piggy banks to build elaborate pillow forts, construct turrets, and buy various other upgrades that will better help them survive increasingly difficult evenings to come.<\/p>\n

Each of\u00a0Sleep Tight<\/em>\u2019s dozen heroes comes with their own exclusive ability and playstyle. For example, the trigger-happy Tommy starts each match with 500 darts and gets discounts on Weapon Skills,\u00a0while the comic book fan Dexter has superpowers that give him discounted power-ups,\u00a0and Rosie uses her building skills to engineer turrets that deal more damage and extra strong pillow fort walls. Every child has their own specialty that keeps the game fresh no matter how many midnight monster hunts players go on.<\/p>\n

“Sleep Tight<\/em>\u00a0has been such a special project to work on,\u201d said Maxx Burman, co-founder and creative director at We Are Fuzzy. \u201cWhile our team has been lucky to work on so many amazing properties over the course of our careers, it\u2019s been amazing to create such a warm, pure, nostalgic experience, and we look forward to sharing it with everyone when we launch this July.\u201d<\/p>\n
