Insomnia

Insomnia is set in an unnamed coastal city where economic crisis has brought chaos, banditry and corruption. You play a man unwillingly drawn into urban clashes, where anyone you meet may be dangerous and violent. As he struggles to survive the day, trust, justice and moral choices shape the question of whether he can sleep peacefully.

Violence and stealth

You can fight with an arsenal of weapons or use hand-to-hand combat when you run out of ammunition. The game has colorful levels, varied locations and many opponents. The protagonist has one life, no health bar and no endless supply of first-aid kits; an AK-47 shot may be fatal. Opponents hear gunfire, so you need to change position, and they can hit their own allies if you lure them into a narrow space.

You can also move quietly by using the environment, hiding from patrols and memorizing their timings. Improvised tools and terrain can help or hinder an operation. Avoid raising the alarm, keep your distance from groups of enemies and watch your noise, since opponents react faster once they know you are nearby and sounds attract attention.

Choices and consequences

Some parts of the plot depend on your choices. You cannot prevent every event, but the fate of the characters largely rests with you.
