What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
November 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $1.69. It has been discounted 61 times in the 12 years tracked here, typically at 70 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 5 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 8 weeks.
Value puts it in the top 7 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 87 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 94 percent. Among the games that feel like it, SOMA ($29.99, scores 70) beats it on value, while it beats Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs ($19.99, scores 20).
Critics scored it 66. Players sit 23 points higher at 89 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.
2 of the 525 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 78 percent of the 1,165 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 2.4 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say
A classic when it comes to horror games. It's pretty good, especially for people who haven't really played many horror games before. I can definitely see how it could be pretty scary for beginners, but if you've already played a lot of horror games, it's probably not that scary anymore. The atmosphere is probably the strongest part of the game. The story is pretty predictable and basic, but it works well for what...
It was a good game. One of the first horror games I got myself to bear through, and it got me at times, but it wasn't too difficult or too scary that it took away from the story, which I also really love. The story as a whole was really good, I loved the ending, and I also loved the gameplay. It being from the perspective of a toddler was also pretty interesting.
its aight. Nice story and great atmosphere but too easy and too short but worth it if there's a discount.

Among the Sleep - Enhanced Edition scores 57/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/250620/among-the-sleep-enhanced-editionThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 20, price as of Sep 24.
