Every chapter tells a different story.
Every story brings you closer to the truth.
And in the end, sleep may be the only escape.

2012 – Arctic Research Station "Persei".

You are Ethan Miller, a junior technician stationed at an isolated scientific base in the northern Kara Sea. The routine is strict, as always: maintenance tasks, daily reports, quiet evenings beside humming radiators. Just another standard shift.

The deeper you dig into the station’s recent past, the clearer it becomes: something went wrong long ago and there may be no way back.

Key Features

• Deep, Story-Driven Mystery: Uncover what lies behind the locked doors of a forgotten polar station and what price was paid in the pursuit of progress. Every discovery brings you closer to the truth lurking beneath the ice.

• Atmospheric Psychological Horror: Immersive sound design, flickering lights, and hauntingly realistic visuals draw you into the cold, creeping dread of the Arctic night. The line between reality and madness blurs as the station itself seems to turn against you.

• Exploration-Focused Gameplay: Navigate tangled corridors, find clues, and solve environmental puzzles in a world where your decisions matter. There are no weapons here only your wits. Every choice can shape the story and determine who makes it out alive.

• Meticulous World-Building: From rusted instruments to weathered personal logs, every asset in Insomnia is crafted with attention to detail. Examine journals, notes, and relics of those who came before to piece together the station’s eerie history.

• Fragmented Storytelling: The narrative unfolds organically. Every message, item, and hidden space reveals a new piece of the puzzle drawing you deeper into a mystery that you must interpret. What you see (or think you see) will test your resolve and sanity
