Reality and Nightmare Collide
"Somnus" is a gripping psychological horror game where the line between dreams and reality begins to blur. Experience the chilling descent into madness as you, a lone protagonist, find yourself trapped in an unending cycle ofsleep paralysis, terrifying nightmares, and sinister mysteries.
During the day, your life seems ordinary: waking up, going to work, and carrying out your daily routine. But at night, the safety of your home turns into a warped and shifting labyrinth filled with creeping shadows and surreal horrors. Each passing night brings new terrors, with the house itself morphing to reflect your crumbling psyche.
Your journey escalates to a heart-pounding finale, where you must escape a sprawling, monster-filled map. Solve cryptic puzzles, survive relentless chases, and uncover the truth lurking in the darkness

Hey, thank you very much for playing my game, i really appreciate it!
i actually released a seconds update today because of your review in the rating (thanks for the 5 stars btw) i don't think that you downloaded the updated version with the fix, but i am still glad you figured it out, at least others won't suffer from the same problem. the code was originally a six digit one, but i removed the two digits so that it would be easier. i completely forgot to remove the empty spaces for the removed digits, so it seemed like the code has 6 digits instead of four that you already had collected
I haven't completed the game yet, but so far this is a great game. The only few issues are that when our character wakes up in the night to go to the kitchen, or the bathroom, the room is very dark. So dark that I found it hard to see where I was going, although I eventually figured it out. It could of just been something with my computer, however, I did have the brightness at 100%. Another thing that I found difficult is when you have to escape from the monster while avoiding obstacles. I feel like the monster is so fast that it is almost impossable to escape from him. It is hard to know where I have to go in time, and most of the times I just got jumscared. Other than that nice atmosphere, and graphics. Thanks.
