POKEMON SLEEP APP

The next challenge for Pokémon games is to bring fresh entertainment to sleeping. The core gameplay of Pokémon Sleep is simple: place your smart device by your pillow, then go to sleep.

Your adventure takes place on a cluster of small islands somewhere in the world. Together with a large Snorlax who lives on the islands, and Neroli, a professor studying Pokémon sleeping habits, you’ll carry out research into how Pokémon sleep.

Pokémon Sleep is a mobile app in development for iOS and Android. Here, you can track your sleep at night, study the gathered Pokémon sleep styles the next morning, and raise up Snorlax nice and big during the day. The more sleep you get, and the bigger Snorlax becomes, the more Pokémon you’ll be able to meet, and the more sleep styles you’ll be able to discover.
