Jason Rohrer has a new project called Sleep Is Death. Unlike Rohrer earlier game, Passage, this game is longer than 5 minutes and requires a second person to play.

From the slideshow on the game’s website, Sleep Is Death seems to be a game where one player controls the main character and the other player controls everything else in the game. That sounds crazy, and it probably is, but it’s also pretty exciting.

The players trade 30-second turns. The first player just has to move a little and type, treating the game as an adventure game. The second player has a simple editing suit at their hands to react to whatever the first player types.

You can preorder the game for $9 or wait till it’s released and pay $14. An order comes with two copies of the game, because Sleep Is Death is a two-player game.
