We all go to sleep...eventually.
In this game from an award-winning team of mad-persons, you are being chased by sleep - literally and figuratively! What is real, and what is hallucination? Delay the inevitable arrival of unconsciousness as you make your way through the strangely amorphous confines of your apartment during a long, dark night of the soul.
Somnipathy was originally created in 72 hours by the Tearcell Studios team as their entry for Ludum Dare 50 and the attendant theme of "delay the inevitable". Inspired by the isometric 2.5D games and point-and-click adventures of a bygone age of gaming, you take the role of Aggie and click your way through their apartment while trying to fend off sleep.
Controls:
- Click your left mouse button to move. Hold click to sprint
- Click on things to try to interact with them.
- Click on symbols to escape from enemies
- Hotkeys for items: 1, 2, 3, 4
- Hotkeys for Journal: J; Backpack: B
Explore the apartment while keeping your stress above 0 and preventing your stamina bar from emptying out in order to maximize your score! Some items and interactions will increase your score at the cost of those resources.
⚠️Epilepsy Warning ⚠️
WARNING: This game may potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy. Viewer discretion is advised.
