About the Game

SOMEWHERE IN YOUR MIND—

Working hard every single day wears you down. At first, it feels manageable. Then it tightens, dragging behind you, growing heavier with every step.

You’d think dreams would be an escape.

They aren’t.

With insomnia, nothing feels real. You’re never fully asleep, yet never truly awake. Your dreams twist into something too vivid to trust. You can’t tell what’s right or wrong… whether you’re waking up, or falling deeper.

And anxiety is always there.

Watching. Waiting.

ABOUT THE GAME

Play as Alexei, a man who suffers with insomnia. When he finally drifts off, he becomes trapped inside a series of unstable dreams shaped by his own thoughts and fears. Don't get too attached to your dreams. don't enjoy them more than real life. or the consequences will be unforgettable.

This is a first-person psychological puzzle and movement game where you must navigate surreal environments, solve puzzles, and escape before your mind collapses in on itself.

OBJECTIVE

Escape the dream.

Stay focused. Keep moving. Think clearly.

Because if you wake up too soon…

you may never be able to sleep again.

YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.

Your mind is unpredictable. Unforgiving.

That falling feeling. That sudden jolt before waking.

Here… it doesn’t fade.

Insomnia doesn’t stop you from sleeping.

It convinces you that you can’t.

So let go.

Let your thoughts drift.

And hope you find your way out.
