About Somnolence
You were part of the Somnolence Research Project — a clinical program exploring the boundaries of dream-based therapy and cognitive mapping.During the procedure, an unauthorized surgical intervention was performed without your consent.You awoke inside the system — a simulated dream environment where no one was ever meant to regain consciousness.From that moment, reality and simulation began to blur.Here, the environment rebuilds itself from fragments of memory and code.Each awakening feels like escape, yet every step draws you deeper into the system’s uncertainty.The walls shift, the clocks hesitate, and voices you don’t remember begin to call your name.Through distorted frequencies, someone — or something — tries to reach you.A doctor’s voice speaks from beyond the static, piecing together what remains of the experiment.Their words blur between guidance and warning.Hidden voices guide and deceive.In the silence between loops, something observes — an intelligence born within the system itself, shaped by countless dreaming minds.It wants connection. Or control.Explore liminal rooms, flickering memories, and corridors that stretch between consciousness and code.Somnolence is not about survival — it’s about understanding why you keep waking up.
- Explore surreal and liminal environments that reshape with every awakening.
- Navigate dreamlike spaces, interact with objects, and uncover hidden recordings.
- Experience a fully voice-narrated story through environmental storytelling.
- Uncover fragments of memory, scientific logs, and dream-induced hallucinations.
- Atmospheric sound design and AI-assisted visuals crafted for immersion.
- A self-contained narrative experience — no combat, no puzzles, only consciousness.

Just beat the game. A super trippy realistic backrooms/horror game taking you through spacey realms. You can really feel the vibrant colors like on the lsd trip daisies level or the futuristic alien spaceship with colorful glowing lights everywhere. The game is pure eye candy with some bloody hilarious and terrifying moments like a floating torso making funny screams at you or random funny looking people jump scaring you. Full of backrooms levels like playrooms, poolrooms and more. Tons of giant trippy space vibe levels and hours of content to explore. The narration, story and gameplay are top notch, The game is one hell of a trippy experience3 found this helpful
This was a fantastic backrooms sci fi horror experience, absolutely wild. The use of Ai art totally makes sense in this game and for once it didn't put me off at all:) Well done to the Developer, lots of creativity has gone into the game.

Do not recommend. It is a w key simulator made with AI. I have to wonder how much of the script was AI generated as well. Just sloppy. The game glitched out on me several times leaving the screen black or not popping up prompts to progress the game. Too conceptual as well.2 found this helpful
This game was a bit of a slog at times and could have been condensed into a much sharper experience. That being said there's a lot to appreciate here. There's a nice play with creativity that uses color and light to really solidify the mood that the developer is going for. There's definitely a backrooms vibe to a lot of the scenarios and I found it had similarity to Dreamcore and Poolcore. I don't know if that was effective because I didn't see a connection between the rooms and the story although I found the atmosphere top notch. The voice acting is AI so it's wonky and not the greatest. I think there's some human in there but I'm not entirely sure. It's definitely a weaker aspect of the game. The sound design overall is brutal- there are excessive loud noises that I found grating in a painful way and while there's options to mess around with audio nothing seemed to lower them without also lowering the actual dialogue. Be forewarned- headphones on the shoulders or off for this one. The music, however, was overall pleasing and one of the stronger aspects of the game. The story was interesting eventually. As it started and continued to progress while utilizing "baby's first phil…1 found this helpful
