The events that take place in Insomnis may leave us tense for a whole night
There are events that seek to be forgotten and others that want to be recovered. A fine line between two completely different contrasts that changes the fate of those involved. A situation that we will live through the skin of Joe Castevet, the protagonist of Insomniac. And it is that inheriting your grandfather’s house may not be as rewarding as it seems at first glance. Ready to open the door and discover the secrets hidden in its walls?
With the only help of a flashlight
Path Games y South Games They are in charge of providing us Insomnis, a horror proposal where we will have to investigate an entire mansion on our behalf. Of course, supernatural phenomena will take over the rooms of this house, to such an extent that we will see children wandering around, sinister messages and all kinds of horrors that will keep us on constant alert.
We will be defenseless at all times. There will be no weapons, no objects to hit the ghosts… but we won’t need it either. Despite its status as a horror game, the truth is that Insomnis could be classified more as a puzzle title with certain exploration touches. We will have to scrutinize every corner completely looking for clues and objects that allow us to continue advancing in the adventure.
calming readings
Being a game based on exploration, it is worth noting the level of detail that we will find in each room. Each room will be filled with objects, with a setting that will put you completely in the mansion. In fact, just like in Fobia – St. Dinfna Hotel, I was surprised to see that each painting is completely different from the rest. And that says a lot about the study.
Nor can we ignore the notes and texts that Insomnis has. Apart from being key in some puzzles, they will push us to become more and more interested in a plot that is gaining ground at times. In fact, the game takes a turn in the middle of its story (which I’m not going to say anything about…) that completely changes the initial context.
spectral protection
It is true that at first we will be in constant tension. In fact, we will give a little start from the chair when we meet a “little creature” through the corridors of the house. But the game has a problem, and it is that when we are aware that nothing and no one can harm us, all that feeling of fear dissolves. Personally, once the first half hour was over, I realized that the scares were going to be all of a similar cut. And that is one of the main problems that I see with this proposal.
The story is great, I will not deceive you. Even how you are introduced to the rest of the “characters” is very good. But that touch of bewilderment that makes you doubt is missing. Or that feeling of constant danger that always keeps you with the fly behind your ear. Something that blows your mind, that makes you doubt your actions or that really puts you in a real bind. Here we have what we commonly call a “witch train”, as happened precisely to Blair Witchexcept that here we will have to give the coconut a bit to move forward in the plot.
terror records
In fact, the variety that I have not found with the scares I have seen with the puzzles. From using a children’s rug to solve certain riddles, puzzles with cards, swimming between texts to search for codes… There is a bit of everything, and that is always good. It is true that there are times when there is no correlation between one challenge or another. If you beat a puzzle in a library, a door suddenly opens for no reason on the second floor. But hey, luckily the mansion is not so big that we can get lost for a long time, and We will instantly return to our old ways and continue on the right path.
Conclusion about the Insomniacs
Path Games together with the support of Meridiem Games are in charge of bringing us this suspense and tension title where paranormal phenomena roam freely in an abandoned house. We will have to solve this mystery, and for this we will have to explore each room in search of information, clues and objects that will help us advance in our investigation.
Insomnis has a very good story, with very well-cared puzzles and a sublime setting. The scares may be relegated to the background when we have been playing for a while, but at that moment we will be so absorbed with the plot that we will not stop playing until we find the end.
