It's a well-worn horror device, adding children to make things that little bit more sinister. Horror game Among the Sleep turns this concept on its head.

Rather than running from wide-eyed terror toddlers, the game casts players as a stumbling tw0-year-old child. From a wobbling first-person perspective, you bobble about a deserted home in the middle of the night, exploring a dark world of shadows and creaks.

When things turn nasty, your ability to run and hide is limited by your infantile frame - making for a truly trouser-ruining experience.

Set for release this summer, this latest trailer gives a hint at what gamers are in for.
