Does this game put anyone to sleep?
Weird question. There is something about this game, I enjoy it and have a lot of hours in it... but it puts me to sleep. I rarely get through a 30 min run in one sitting. If I am on my PC and im playing, by the 20 min mark or so im so drowsy that I pause... can't keep my head up. The other time I play is on my steam deck before bed, and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ by 10-15 min mark im out like a clock. Can't keep my head up any more, instantly asleep after I put the thing down. Does this happen to anyone else?

Great game though

I don't think it's just you. I have the same problem. After a little while I catch myself playing with my eyes closed. Maybe the game can be prescribed to people suffering from insomnia.

Maybe you are light sensitive? Sounds like a good question for a doctor rather than this forum :)

Happened to me a few times playing, close my eyes at 16 minutes or something and wake up at 24 and miraculously still alive lol

Nah work all day on a computer and no other game does anything like this. Just this one. Doctor would just say to post on a forum

Happen to me several times. Like one said, I would drift to sleep for a few minutes and awake and be surprised I was still alive lol.

Maybe you don't actually enjoy it anymore? Fatigue - or more specifically, lethargy - is a symptom of boredom.

I love the game but it plays itself after a while and the only input is movement, so yeah, I too have felt myself drifting off when playing the game later at night.
I've had this happen only if I am awake for an unusual length of time (coming up to 24h for instance), not just this game though. Some other games however keep me awake and alert under those same circumstances likely due to the fact that there is less thinking needed after a certain length of time in this game and when you are already tired your brain shutsdown for sleep.

that also happens to me lol, but sometimes I play on my bed

There's something very satisfying and almost therapeutic about this game, especially when you get all the weapons evolved exactly as you want and the sounds just go "brrrr" to the point it becomes white noise. xD

I know what you mean, it is the same thing that used to happen to me pushing rifts in Diablo 3...still enjoyed the game but something about it made me fight to stay awake a lot of the time.

I'm the type of person who needs to go to sleep with sound (like tv or radio on very softly) so I can understand that the repetitive sounds might be relaxing to some.

if i'm already a bit tired i find it kind of lulls me into a drowsy state.
