Somnifuge – Review

Somnifuge is a unique, gritty, PSX inspired horror game. It’s not exactly survival horror, more of a psychological horror game with lots of puzzles, but it does have a survival horror “vibe”.

I was very excited for it, having played the demo only a week prior. It immediately reminded me of The Tartarus Key, another game that feels like survival horror despite being purely puzzle-based. To an extent that’s what I got, though I’d say it’s a little rougher around the edges and WAY more “out there”.

The puzzles are good but a bit of a mixed bag, generally challenging and fun, though some feel a little clunky. There’s no map, so navigating the mansion and its ever-changing environments can be disorienting (and occasionally tedious). Often, this feels intentional – the game definitely loves to disorient you and catch you off guard. More often than not it was well designed, and definitely interesting.

The game has a dreamlike, surreal logic to it, it kind of just goes wherever it wants. I had no clue what anything meant or what the context is, but it was certainly entertaining. If I had my way, I would’ve loved a bit more focus on puzzles (sometimes it felt a bit walking sim-esque), some polish and refinement, and a map. But it’s a unique game and if you’re into dream-like psychological horror puzzle games DRIPPING in 90’s survival horror aesthetic – don’t miss this one.
