Detailed fantasy game map with six themed worlds: Halloween, underwater ruins, space, prehistoric, medieval castle, and pirate.

40 Winks is a platform game where players act as siblings Ruff and Tumble. As the two are about to go to bed, their mother tells a story about the Winks and the HoodWinks. The Winks protect humans from nightmares and provide them good dreams. Meanwhile, an old man named NiteKap, who resides in Dreamland, is suffering from insomnia and instructs his teddy bear minion Threadbear to kidnap all of the Winks so no one else will sleep well either. The captured Winks turn into nightmare-bringing HoodWinks, and only 40 Winks are left, so its up to the playable protagonists to save them and stop NiteKap's plan.
