Sleepaway is a horror indie role-playing game by Jay Dragon about teenage counselors at a summer camp trying to protect misfit campers from a monster called the Lindworm that takes on the form of its victims. It has themes of trauma, LGBTQ community support, and non-binary gender exploration. Sleepaway was inspired by slasher films and the Belonging Outside Belonging game system by Avery Alder and Benjamin Rosenbaum.

Sleepaway was published by Possum Creek Games in 2019 after raising $14,407 on Kickstarter. It won a Spotlight Award at the 2020 ENNIE Awards and was nominated for Indie Game Developer Network awards for "Game of the Year" and "Most Innovative."
