I’ll be covering 0.4.0 as soon as it drops. Until then, sleep tight – and maybe don’t look in the hallway mirror. The only official source for Pipsi-ZZZ-0.3.9.rar is a password-protected 4chan thread from last month. If you find a mirror, check the .md5 hash. One fake version apparently replaces Pipsi’s whispers with a 10-hour loop of elevator music.
If you’ve been haunting the deeper corners of itch.io or following obscure horror-game Telegram channels, you’ve probably seen the whispers: “Don’t extract Pipsi-ZZZ-0.3.9.rar after 2 AM.” “The third dream crashes unless you delete the audio folder.” “Who is Pipsi?” I finally caved and downloaded the 0.3.9 build. Here’s what I found inside the 800 MB .rar — and why this weird, unfinished “sleep simulator” is already living rent-free in my head. Pipsi (presumably a developer alias or character name) has been releasing ZZZ builds since early 2024. The concept is simple on paper: You play as someone trapped in a recurring dream.

– Random, directional audio. Sometimes behind you, sometimes inside your head. I heard “don’t collect the third shard” and “the cat isn’t real.” There’s no cat in the game.
– A new dream area accessible if you fall asleep facing the hallway mirror. It’s an endless grey lobby with plastic chairs and a single TV playing static. You can walk for 10 minutes without finding an exit. Then the TV says, “Pipsi will be with you shortly.” I closed the game.
The bigger mystery is . No social media. No Patreon. Just a .rar file with a name that sounds like a children’s soda brand and a game about the horror of not being able to wake up.
