Play Sleepwalker Online
You're a frantic dog steering a sleepwalking kid through hazards—biting his pajamas to redirect him, moving obstacles, and praying he doesn’t wake up while stumbling off cliffs.
Sleepwalker came out in 1993 as part of the MS-DOS Classic Games series, published by Psygnosis. It was a time when platformers were everywhere, but this one had a premise that immediately set it apart. You weren't controlling the main character directly; instead, you played as his dog, tasked with keeping a sleepwalking boy safe.
You guide the dog, nipping at the boy's pajamas to change his direction or make him jump over gaps. Your main goal is to get him safely through each stage without letting him fall, walk into danger, or wake up. You interact with the environment, moving objects like bins or bouncing on trampolines to clear a path. The pacing is tense; the boy never stops walking, so you're constantly reacting, planning two steps ahead. It feels like a desperate, loving scramble to protect someone completely unaware of the chaos around them.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
