Review of The Deepest Sleep

...And my wish came true

By Stalin15 · Mar 11, 2015

Deepest Sleep is the last part of the "Deep Sleep" series games. If you played the other two, which I highly recommend, you'd know where you start, so...Yeah. If you didn't play the other two, or at least Deeper Sleep, then expect some spoilers.

After you went down into the well and got face to face with one of the shadow people, you suddenly wake up in another eerily dark abandoned room. But not before you really wake up...Sleep paralysis got you.

Moving deeper you soon find out how dark the room is. So dark, that there's not even a single place where you don't stop using your flashlight. Why is that? The first note says it all, you're on the deepest parts of this dreamland. This part I love to call The Abyss.

Doing everything you can to get to the surface, you start to realize that nothing seems real anymore. Everything is uncanny. Even Deeper Sleep and Deep Sleep had some familiarity, but this? You get to meet only one room that has some nice ambient to it, but then it changes. Hell, even that room is still uncanny itself.

The next is a spoiler in this game.

You come near the surface, until you see a mirror and look at yourself...Then you realize who you are; A monster. The "meeting" you have done down in the well, you were captured there and transformed. Why were you in the deepest parts of the dreamworld though? I still don't know, but all I know is that...Nietszche's quote does make sense.

"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyssthe abyss also gazes into you."

What does this mean? In this game, you (He who fights with monsters) once killed one, but you didn't even take care of yourself (should look to it that he himself does not become a monster), and so you just decided to keep going deeper (And when you gaze long into an abyss) because you really wanted to know more about this dream despite how you shouldn't have, in which, even though you didn't really became insane, you did become a monster...Why? "the abyss also gazes into you."

This is why, I think, Nietszche's quote makes sense. Hell, even the author confirms it, you can see it on his profile.

All in all, just like all the other "Deep Sleep" series games, I highly recommend it. Highly. High...ly...
