About Somniphobia


Escape the reoccurring nightmare and stop the cycle by fighting through strange enemies and collecting items and information to get out before you wake up, otherwise the dream resets, but changes slightly. Somniphobia combines traditional survival horror elements such as combat, fixed camera angles, and item collection, with rogue-like elements where the item, enemy, and room placement will be different every night.
  • Tank control movement
  • Fixed cameras
  • Procedural item and enemy placement
  • Resource management
  • Randomized map layout

Utter waste of time. If you like ridiculously stupid controls and UI on top of grainy, barely 1985 graphics then this is the game for you

this game works like Resident Evil camera style you see in the 1995 that was ok because i just had more patience back then now not so much it just feel like i am driving a tank, and i am not a fan of grainy graphic it way to hard to see anything specially in 1080p. overall the game was mid.

Okay, so to start, its a good game. A frustrating game, but a good one. (Also don't let my total time fool you, I spent a good time of it in the pause menu because of life but I'd say i still spent a good hour on it.) Pros: - the atmosphere of the game is really good and the music supports it a lot. The environment felt weird and disorientating but I wouldn't say that is a bad thing, in fact I think it helps a lot to the "dream/nightmare like state" that the the game takes place in. - The controls feel really nice, its a bit weird at first but that might just be me and not normally using tank controls on a keyboard, but after a while the controls worked very well and felt good to use, especially with being able to continue movement with the inventory open. - The Nail Gun was arguable the best weapon in the game and felt decent enough to use, however there is more about the nail gun in the con section as well, but over all it was a good weapon to use throughout the game and with lots of ammo around I didn't feel like I had to horde it for any reason. Cons: - The pipe felt useless to use, all the time. Its slow speed, not stunning enemies, and its low damage, quite literally meant …

I wish there was a middle ranking. Clearly some love and attention in this thing and it manages to have some decent atmosphere at times and certainly is compelling to a point because there's zero clue what's happening and what you're doing or where. But it gets old fast with combat that clunky and enemies that lack any feedback or stun lock on hit so you have to soak up a lot of damage unless you already know they're coming. Performance was pretty bad as well, granted I have a potato but still, didn't seem like this should tax its resources that bad. Not sure what the countdown clock is for as I stopped when I was getting attacked by enemies offscreen during a transition. A bit of tuning and this could be great tho!

Terrible. This Resident Evil ripoff doesn't even come close to hitting the mark. Found plenty of ammo for the nailgun, however found only one med kit. The worst part about this game is the timer. With such limiter healing resources and a short timer, this game seems impossible to finish. Rating: 2/10
