Sleep Tight aims to rule bedtime shooters

The developers at We Are Fuzzy was once a bunch of kids who feared the monsters under their beds. But now they’ve created a game where the kids are empowered to fight back against those nighttime beasts. We Are Fuzzy’s Sleep Tight twin-stick shooter debuts today on Steam on the PC and the Nintendo Switch in North America.

Sleep Tight does a great job of making fun out of a universal nightmare. It is a small, contained game with a Pixar-like art style from a Los Angeles-based indie team that has worked on the game for more than two years. In the game, you play a kid who builds a base with pillows and furniture during the day. When night comes, he hides and shoots his Nerf gun at the monsters as they attack from all directions.
