Somnus Corporation

Somnus Corporation is a first-person psychological horror game set inside a looping dream simulation. You play as John, a dream specialist taking part in an experimental consciousness test created by Somnus Corporation. What begins as a routine calibration becomes a search for the truth behind the simulation and the people who entered it before him.

Inspect the rooms

You must inspect 22 rooms, memorizing their original layouts and identifying changes as the simulation progresses. Each room may contain visual anomalies, physical abnormalities, sound anomalies, time distortions or unknown entities, or it may be consistent. You report your findings through the Somnus Terminal, a CRT interface; a correct report lets you continue deeper into the simulation.

The simulation includes more than 35 anomalies and entities, with 4 anomaly variations and 7 entity variations. If you make 3 incorrect reports, the system resets and sends you back to Room One. As you progress, the system becomes less reliable, and the rooms grow harder to trust.

The simulation's secrets

Somnus Corporation says it studies dreams, but the simulation is more than a test. As John goes deeper, fragments of hidden truths emerge, including buried memories, impossible entities and the fate of previous participants. Some rooms are unstable, some memories are not John's, and some entities are aware of him.

The game takes place in a looping apartment whose layout changes subtly. Its liminal environments use VHS-inspired visuals, while the story reveals hidden lore. The experience is designed for a single sitting and takes an estimated 60–90 minutes.
