    Insomnis on the PlayStation 5 isn’t quite a next-generation experience but is nonetheless a thrilling haunted house adventure worth playing should you have missed out on the original release.

    If you don’t mind forking out for a spooky experience that you’ll complete in an evening and then perhaps never think about again, you could do a lot worse than Insomnis. It is genuinely unnerving at times, and its puzzles are rewarding to solve. It’s just a shame there isn’t more to it.

    Insomnis sets the atmosphere right in terms of tense audio and cleverly inserted environmental elements but ultimately fails to deliver a genuine horror experience. Aside from a few stereotypical jump scares for the scripted surprise factor, there’s absolutely nothing going for this game as a horror title.

    It's an alright horror game with a pretty good atmosphere and great sound design for an indie game, although the puzzles aren't much to writeIt's an alright horror game with a pretty good atmosphere and great sound design for an indie game, although the puzzles aren't much to write home about. Plus, while thankful that it doesn't have cheap jumpscares, this means that playing it in another playthrough sadly weakens the scare factor. It's worth giving it a look but maybe when it's $10 or less.

    Also, these 10/10 user reviews I've read have been made in the same date of 5 of november. Gee, I wonder why lol I don't think the game is bad, and if you're looking for some small indie games to scratch that horror itch, it's worth giving it a try, but it's no masterpiece. There's some interesting ideas in the story (clocks around 2 hours) but they're not fully explained from beginning to end. Plus, the game says that there's "a bunch od different endings to unlock", but so far I only met with two, where it basically boils down to a single choice in the end. For what it's worth, given rhat this is the dev's first game, I'm willing to give a pass, but I hope they'll do better next time.    … Full Review »
