About the game

Sleep Is Death aka Geisterfahrer is a two-player RPG game written by Jason Rohrer. It is Rohrer's seventh game. Sleep is Death has the rare distinction of being one of the most successful commercial game in all free and open source gaming history. In addition, the game was public domain from the very beginning. The source code is available on the homepage, so this is free software. ==Gameplay== Sleep Is Death is a bi-directional story telling game between two people. One player plays the main character, while another is the controller. The controller provides the graphics, musics, and the reactions of the other characters. Each player has 30 seconds to react, though the time limit is not hardcoded.

The end result is a story flipbook that the player playing the main character can upload to the web. The resources of the controller are also automatically copied to the player's resource directory.

==Funding== Sleep Is Death is commissioned for Art History of Game symposium sponsored by Georgia Tech and Ivan Allen College. In addition, it was made possible by patron . The game itself is downloadable for a fee.
