Sleepaway is a horror indie role-playing game by Jay Dragon about teenage counselors at a summer camp trying to protect misfit campers from a monster called the Lindworm that takes on the form of its victims.[1][2] It has themes of trauma, LGBTQ community support, and non-binary gender exploration.[3][4] Sleepaway was inspired by slasher films[5] and the Belonging Outside Belonging game system by Avery Alder and Benjamin Rosenbaum.[6][7]
Sleepaway was published by Possum Creek Games in 2019 after raising $14,407 on Kickstarter.[8] It won a Spotlight Award at the 2020 ENNIE Awards[9] and was nominated for Indie Game Developer Network awards for "Game of the Year" and "Most Innovative."[10]
