SIDTube: Watch Sleep Is Death stories, play online

Brandon Boyer 1:20 pm Mon Apr 19, 2010

Even though Jason Rohrer's mediated-multiplayer storytelling engine Sleep is Death — first featured here on Boing Boing — has only been in the hands of early buyers for just over a week (with a wider official release date due tomorrow), third parties have already jumped into the fray to support its fast-growing community of players.

Chief among these is SIDTube, a low-res but highly-functional site featuring both matchmaking capabilities to host and play online with friends and strangers alike, and a gallery of completed stories that can be flipped through and rated.

Above: The Machine, a Modern Times-ish slapstick story by one 'FranticPea', with plenty more available for your perusal. For more info on Sleep is Death and to get the game yourself, check Rohrer's official site.
