About the Game

Sleepover at Sam’s is a first-person psychological horror game inspired by cult hits like MADiSON and Visage, with a nostalgic twist drawn from Stranger Things and the creeping dread of Stephen King’s IT.

You’re invited… to the Sleepover at Sam’s.

It’s May 1985, and you’ve been invited to a birthday sleepover at your friend Sam’s new house.
But when you wake up in the middle of the night, the laughter is gone. The sleeping bags are empty. And something is moving in the dark…

Sleepover at Sam’s is a first-person psychological horror game that puts you in the shoes of Benjie, one of Sam’s friends. What begins as a fun night quickly unravels into a nightmare as the house reveals its secrets, and a ritual gone wrong awakens something ancient beneath the foundations.

Gameplay

  • Explore the house – search Sam’s new home, packed with unsettling detail and 1980s atmosphere.

  • Solve puzzles & uncover clues – inspect items, collect tools, and piece together how to progress.

  • Survive the scares – dynamic horror moments that mix creeping dread with sudden, shocking encounters.

  • Discover the truth – journals, recordings, and disturbing relics reveal the story of the land beneath the house.

Key Features

  • Sleepover Gone Wrong – a nostalgic childhood setting twisted into a nightmare.

  • Psychological Horror – designed to keep you uneasy, second-guessing what’s real.

  • Puzzle-Solving & Exploration – progress through environmental storytelling and item-based challenges.

  • Lore-Rich Storytelling – uncover the truth about the house, the Eyoda family, and the dark spirit bound beneath Coldwater.

  • Authentic 1980s Vibe – CRT TVs, birthday banners, VHS tapes, and the nostalgia of growing up in the ‘80s.

You’ll have so much fun… you may never leave!
