After all this time, finally, I have seen the end credits of Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside. I still have the original CD but I haven't been able to run it on a computer in a very long time. It's great fun even if you're a grown adult.

Nostalgia! At least I'm assuming most people interested in this game are millennials that grew up on Humongous Entertainment games. While this game still has its charm, at the end of the day it is a game for kids and will probably take you only 60 to 90 minutes to complete. Having said that, objectives can spawn in a few different areas allowing for additional content, so there's some replayability here. However, these are completely random, so there's a lot of luck between playthroughs whether you'll get new content or not. Trying to find all the socks is actually a great challenge with some of them being very difficult to find. Definitely worth picking up on a sale for a couple hours of childhood memories. I believe kids nowadays would enjoy this game too, for any parents looking for something for their child.
