COMMENT BELOW OR SLEEP OFF!
Hey big sleepies,
Mr. Sleepy Man is officially having his biggest discount on Steam for Steam Summer Sale! Also, I recently patched the game and fixed a lot of bugs and stuff. Thank you guys for sharing feedback in the Discord and in the Steam Discussion forums.
You're all wise guys in my book
Go get it! Also, I'll be at TooManyGames 2026 in person with a Sleepy Man booth! Come say hi, and please wear deodorant
Thank you for playing Mr. Sleepy Man, and tell your friends to buy it!
Got a small update for this weekend that fixes a couple issues! If you find any further bugs, please report them to the bug fixing channel in the discord! Thanks for playing everyone and have a great weekend!
Changelist:
Fixed an audio glitch on the moving water platforms.
Fixed a bug where the boss music would cut out when Smash Mouse tripped.
Fixed an audio glitch where the spinner audio would not progress. (most of these audio glitches were caused by an FMOD update)
Fixed the hourglass shortcuts not responding to being rolled into.
Fixed the checkpoint inside the clock tower. It was not set properly, causing a softlock when falling to your death.
Fixed a potential bug where interactions would softlock after an interactable object was destroyed while still being observed.
Here's a quick little update to the game addressing a few minor issues:
Fixed bug where rats weren't affected by Smash Mouse's hammer ring.
Fixed the campfire light in Polluted Pipeland entry. It was set off from a light optimization fix but should be back now.
Lost In Dreams / IDR: Added some more speedrunner friendly changes to the results screen. Getting a perfect (or less than 20 from perfect notes) score in each category instantly sets each value and skips all animations for the scorecard.
Hey guys! Got a few fixes live now for Mr. Sleepy Man!
A quick update to address some key issues that have been recently found, and improve some stuff for you guys. If you find any bugs or just have feedback, please let me know in the Mr. Sleepy Man official Discord!
Extra graphics settings for low-end devices.
To Do reminders + menu shortcut in the pause menu.
Updated hand cursor behavior. It no longer snaps to an odd position on screen upon first use.
You can load the to-do/totals menu from the pause menu by pressing the select button.
Collecting almost every note in Lost in Dreams will speed up the totals screen (for speedrunners)
Collecting Shiny things and cloud coins will now automatically save the game
What a Steal has been simplified. It no longer relies on the shopkeeper’s state to be completed.
You can now destroy Gale’s flower after making amends.
This will cross off the “I guess friendship means nothing to you…” to do as well as contribute to “Ruin Every Flower”. Both of which were conflicting tasks for “Really Mess Everything Up”.
Fixed the Chunky Bear return memory, where the music wouldn’t start, and the UI wouldn’t show up after ending the initial cutscene.
Fixed bug where you would fall asleep while going idle on bouncy platforms, causing you to fly infinitely in the air.
Fixed a bug where a wind zone was set active incorrectly in the Sewers Cheese Zone.
Fixed bug where you could hit Smash Mouse with the dumbbells.
If Dreams Remain
Collider added on Teefy in the puzzle piece section.
Fixed the TV screen on the hand pointer sequence. It was rendering the wrong image.
Fixed a bug where you couldn’t collect all of the notes.
That's it for now, guys! I'll keep fixing bugs if you keep reporting them! Thank you for playing the game and don't forget to leave if a review on Steam!
Don't be a wiseguy and miss this one 💤💤💤 What else...

Man, I'm SLEEPY!
It's been a little over a month since Mr. Sleepy Man launched, and not only are we at 400+ Steam reviews with a 99% positive review rate, but we also launched 3 Steam bundles! Shoutout to our publisher, Monster Theater, for helping put these together. They're pretty cool, are not vampiric creatures, and I hear they shower daily, which is fantastic and exactly what you want in an indie game publisher.
Do you have any games that you think Mr. Sleepy Man should bundle with?

A quick update to address some key issues that have been recently found. More to come soon! Working hard to make the game experience as seamless as I can. If you find any bugs or just have feedback, please let me know in the Mr. Sleepy Man official discord! Gameplay Adjustments
The Ballad of Broken Dreams Sequence is no longer skippable. Once you acquire the Strings of Slumber, you can not exit the sequence until the song is acquired.
People who accidentally skipped this sequence and finished the game will have their saves modified in this new patch, so the song should be in your inventory.
Input tutorial reminder for playing the guitar also added after this sequence completes.
Extra options for launching the game at custom resolutions through Steam command. You can now launch at any aspect ratio you choose, but any ratio less wide than 16:9 may cause issues with UI elements overlapping.
Bugs and Fixes
Fixed a bug where you would get randomly launched after trying to untie Smash Mouse's shoes.
Fixed a softlock for Tony Pizza and Chunky Bear that prevented Scarred for Life from being completed.
Fixes for the conditions of the Tony Pizza Memory + music now starts when entering the level.
Music now starts when entering the Car memory.
Fixed a bug that got you caught between cereal boxes in the Entrance to the Final Sequence.
Fixed an instance of falling through the floor with the cage for “A Not So Secret Entrance”
Colliders added on Teefy’s limbs in Nowhere Land during the Ballad of Broken Dreams Sequence.
Got a pretty sizable update for y'all. Some QOL features and a whole lot of bug fixes. Thanks to everyone in the community for helping out and submitting bug fixes. You're all helping me make this game even better! More to come next week! If you find an issue with the game, or just want to give general feedback, feel free to hop into the discord! - Devin Gameplay Adjustments
Activating the Cranium Clonk (Ground Pound) now requires you to hold the jump button for 1/4 of a second.
Updated description for Sabotage Papa Bear
Overhaul for Now That’s a Spicy Meatball. Added a sign that clarifies what you’re supposed to do and removed the floating notes to avoid confusion about this being a “song tutorial” section.
You can now skip dialogue to the end of a line for idle dialogues. (This does not apply for standard cutscenes where the camera is moving).
Music video for Playing in the Past added to TVs in credits sequence.
Bugs and Fixes
Fixed a bug where hit stun would be cancelled when leaving the ragdoll state or after being consecutively damage cancelled.
This same bug was causing scenarios where you would get stuck in a grab state. I fixed the root issue + added a failsafe.
Fixed a bug where the checkpoint in Nowhere Land made you sleep in the bed, causing a softlock.
Tony Pizza will not stay awake when making a pizza, preventing quest confusion when trying to make the pizza.
Fixed a bug where Pizza enemies would still chase you while sleeping after they respawn. I believe this also applies to Muncher enemies.
Fixed a bug where Papa Bear would talk to you while you were in another dialogue.
Fixed a bug where the hammer animation would stick after jumping and swinging the hammer at the same time.
Fixed bug where Music stops on Broken Home platforming when entering a TV.
Fixed Checkpoint reset error on Broken Home platforming.
Fixed where skipping the initial cutscene on Broken Home platforming has camera turned around
Fixed bug where rock wouldn’t respawn in Broken Home platforming.
Pulled out the wall to the right of Big Kitty in Spooky Dook Woods to prevent uncomfortable camera angles when sneaking to dig for the box of cereal.
Removed the glowing particle effect after you win the dig mini game to prevent confusion since the minigame is no longer interactable after you win.
Fixed a bug where you couldn’t prompt The Ballad of Broken Dreams when holding an item in Bedtime Town.
Adjusted a couple entrances in Spooky Dook Maze so that it starts with the camera centered behind the player, instead of in front.
Added an escape route via sand shortcut launcher in the sewers if you enter after beating Smash Mouse and having him escape into Bedtime Town.
Chord chart for Nowhere Land fixed. (The system that allows you to play along to the music with the Strings of Slumber)
Got another round of fixes in! Thanks to everyone for all of the feedback and bug reports. You're all helping make the game even better! Here is the list of changes! Bugs and Fixes:
Defaulted Steam Deck resolution to 1152 x 720 for better performance.
Fixed a bug where Chunky Bear would clip through certain walls after smacking him with your pillow.
Added a quick failsafe for edge cases where you get stuck in a grab.

Fixed a bug where you would fall through the floor on a push box in Spooky Dook Woods.

Gameplay / UX Changes:
Fixed issues where certain 100% objectives weren't clearing for the following to do's.
Bear Family To Do
Get All of the Shiny Things.
if you experienced any of these issues, just re-clear a to do list item from one of these lists and it should update correctly.
Updated to do list descriptions to make them clearer:
Donut No More
Talking smack
Cha Ching
What a Steal!
The Only Person With This Thing in Mind
Get Grandpa Bear’s Meds.
A line of dialogue was added for 100% completion in Teefy’s Hut.

Man...
It's been a really sleepy adventure. Guys...I've been developing this game over the course of the past 6 years. I'm glad you guys get to play it and wreak some serious havoc on the unassuming town that is Bedtime Town. Today is that day. If you've supported my journey on TikTok, Instagram, listened to my music, and played the demo over the years...thank you. This game is for YOU!
If you missed it, I have a new song out called 'If Dreams Remain'. I think you'll like it!
Also, lastly, go show our publisher some love! They've worked hard on this release and have some cool stuff cookin'! https://store.steampowered.com/publisher/monstertheater
Have fun, and have a laugh

Heyoo Mr. Sleepy Man here
Only a week left until Mr. Sleepy Man comes out. I've been working on this game for 6 years and it's finally done. It's crazy...and while Mr. Sleepy Man is chock full of 3D platforming goodness, it’s not a game that plays by the rules of any genre. Prepare to be surprised. I can’t wait for you guys to see what I’ve got in store for you to play!
Lots of stuff I wanted to tell you guys about!
First of all, I have a new song coming out this Friday. It's called 'If Dreams Remain', and I hope you get a chance to listen to it. You can pre-save it here: https://t.co/Um4M5mI29G
Check out the art too!
We're having a launch party over in the Mr. Sleepy Man Discord, and a separate Q&A from our publisher, Monster Theater Games. I'll link to both of those below!
