DIU SOMNUS
A downloadable game for Windows
An asylum patient claims to be haunted in his dreams by a monster. He wakes up every day screaming for help, as if he were being eaten alive. As an apprentice psychiatrist, you are allowed to observe the patient for one night to study his sleeping patterns.
During your shift, you hear his heart rate monitor stop and rush to him. The moment you touch him, you start to feel dizzy and pass out. You wake up at the same asylum, but it looks much different now. Can you survive the nightmare? Or will you also be consumed by the curse?

WASD - Move
CTRL - Crouch
E / Left Click - Interact

Oh no, it was very funny to see how well you avoided the monster XD I’ll keep that in mind for the next update. Thanks for playing!
Not bad
Thanks for playing all the way to the end!! :D We'll release an update soon to fix some rough spots in the game you mentioned.
Great game! Was having a blast with it and the monster got me pretty good xD I would recommend a little more leniency on the flashlight for exploration on the unwary player, either slower depletion time, a consumable item that recharges the flash light full upon use, or more batteries but all in all was a nice experience, didnt beat it on recording but will be playing and completing it off recording. Keep up the amazing work and leaving a follow! (your game starts at 11:45 in the vid)
Thank you for checking out our game! Your reactions were awesome to watch, hahaha. I appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback and even reload the game a couple times.
We've just uploaded a new version with fixes. Now that we had some people play, we're assessing the feedback. If you do end up giving it another go, make sure to download the latest version! :)
Definitely! :)
