Insomnia: Chapter One

Insomnia: Chapter One is a standalone psychological horror story that takes about 45–60 minutes to complete. In 2012, you play Ethan Miller, a junior technician at the isolated Arctic research station Persei in the northern Kara Sea. As you carry out maintenance and daily reports, you investigate the station’s recent past and uncover signs that something went wrong long ago.

Explore Station Persei

You navigate the station’s corridors, search for clues and solve environmental puzzles. There are no weapons; you rely on your wits, and your decisions can shape the story and determine who makes it out alive. Journals, notes, messages, items and hidden spaces reveal fragments of the station’s history for you to piece together and interpret.

A story of isolation

The game’s narrative explores human isolation, memory and guilt. Flickering lights, sound design and the station’s empty halls frame a story in which the line between reality and madness blurs, while an unknown terror stalks the facility. You face both the threat in the station and your own fear as you try to discover what happened and survive.
