I just uploaded the latest build with Maker Mode! This allows 4D gaming - that is, triggering of real world effects to add to the jump scares. It will be available on 8/13/2018 when Steam allows the game release. This is a mode for Makers - you know - people who like to hack with the Raspberry PI, Arduino, Trinket, etc. You first connect the microcontroller to the PC via USB. When you pause the game, hit the letter 'm' for maker to cycle through your available COM ports. When you resume the game, it will start sending a number 0 through 9 to the microcontroller at key events. Makers can code a microcontroller to trigger things like the following: -blink lights on and off in your house -turn on a fan -start an old school tape recorder playing something creepy -triggering a buzzer clipped to your collar to give you a jump If you are a maker, the sky is the limit to adding in the 4th dimension.

In Son.Light.Sleepwalker (pronounced "sunlight sleepwalker"), you are the dad of a frightening, sleepwalking 9 year old son. His psychiatrist said, never let him awake while sleep walking. Using the house security cameras, smart light switches, and even his drone, lead him back to his room. But DON'T LET HIM GET INTO THE LIGHT! OR HE MAY AWAKE!

Son.Light.Sleepwalker is a strategy game full of building suspense, jump scares, and eerie challenges. It covers a four night period with an unsuspecting story with an amazing twist at the end. You have to use your whit as the suspense builds through each encounter.

The ideal gaming scenario would be lying in bed with a laptop/tablet and head phones - or on a PC with the lights out. The game is fully voice acted in stereo as though your wife is sitting right next to you. The frightful whispers between the two of you will cause chills up your spine. This presents an immersive, almost too real experience to what you see on the screen that will give you a most memorable experience. Share a headphone connection and play side by side for even more immersion.

This is an Indie game presently Early Access, but playable to its end. It is aimed for ages 7 to 70.

In the screenshots available on the Steam Page, you will notice a grainy look. This look is due to much of the game being played through security cameras which you are controlling. Each camera has its own "quality" issues which add to the immersion of the gameplay as you control the security system and Smart Lights.
