Passage creator Jason Rohrer’s latest upcoming title Sleep is Death is currently being previewed by a number of games media reporters.
Sleep is Death is an interesting game, because it is more so a tool for storytelling between two people than it would be your standard idea of what a game should be. To help demonstrate that Jason has been conducting sessions as a storyteller, giving each media recipient their very own tailored story.
- Michael Thompson of IGN got to see a witch-burning.
- Brandon Boyer of BoingBoing had a trippy dream experience.
- Anthony Burch of Destructoid tazed a priest.
- Jason Rohrer himself has a unique slideshow demo of how the game functions.
Besides that, Anthony Burch was also given access to the “controller” tools, where he acted as the storyteller, and played with his girlfriend Ashley Davis. You can download the entire series of screen-captured events and see for yourself.
Update: Anthony posted a new package containing all three of his stories. You can get that here.
