About the Game

Slumber Craft is a narrative deckbuilder about insomnia, pressure, and self-repair.

Your days shape your nights. Spend your limited daytime hours on activities — each one shapes your deck, your emotional state, and the story's direction. At night, you will enter a dreamlike card battle where every decision affects your chances of finally falling asleep.

Combine cards into poker-style hands — pairs, straights, flushes, and more — to score Sleepiness and trigger powerful chain effects. But beware: if your Thoughts spiral too high, panic sets in — fewer moves, higher stakes, and the risk of another sleepless dawn.

Across 21 restless nights, you will guide Chen Mo through a spiral narrative of insomnia, inner conflict, memory, and healing. Randomized rewards, an evolving deck, and branching paths make every playthrough different. Your choices shape emotional tendencies, relationships, and the endings you can reach.

Features:

- A dual-layer structure where daytime planning directly changes nighttime deckbuilding

- Poker-hand card combos that score Sleepiness and trigger chain effects in a dreamlike setting

- A tug-of-war between Sleepiness and Thoughts — push too hard, and panic takes over

- A narrative journey through insomnia, self-conflict, and gradual repair

- Multiple endings shaped by your daily choices, emotional tendencies, and relationships

- Bold hand-drawn ink line art with a restrained midnight dream atmosphere

Every night asks the same question in a different form: what is keeping you awake, and what will it take to finally rest?
