What it is
Sleepwalker is a puzzle platformer released for Windows in 2018, developed by Ocean Software. It follows Lee, who sleepwalks through dangerous places, and his dog Ralph, who must guide him home without waking him. The route spans rooftops, a zoo, a crypt, and a construction site. Players steer Lee, clear obstacles and enemies from his path, and can kick him to reach new heights. The description says the game has six large levels and bonus stages, with transformations and tricks such as becoming a bat or filling Lee with helium helping him through the journey. Its comic setup is paired with puzzle solving and platforming challenges. Steam features list single-player, partial controller support, and Family Sharing. The supplied platform list includes Windows, DOS, Commodore 64, Amiga CD32, Atari ST, and Amiga 1200.
