Such a good game. I love the atmosphere and the story. I wish more people knew about this game.

CINERIS SOMNIA is a gorgeous exploration game with elements of horror and mystery. I absolutely loved every minute of playing this, and am so happy I discovered it! It places you in lonely, desolate settings with surreal undertones as you guide each character through discovery and acceptance. I really like that the character you play as is not necessarily the *main* character, but merely a tool used to tell each girls' story as you progress. Each chapter has a moving story that gradually expands as you explore each area. My favorite chapter in particular is Chapter 2 (Ophelia's story), as it introduces classic horror game mechanics-it puts me very much in the mind of Haunting Ground! The atmosphere and audio is superbly done (I just wish the beautiful music played more often!) and the voice acting is fantastic. Overall, this is an amazing experience; as long as you give it a chance! I notice that the negative reviews talk about two things, one being that the exploration/environment is "boring". Firstly, the chapter that you start out in (outside of the prologue) is a sanitarium. It's supposed to look sterile/bland, in stark comparison to the main character's color scheme. But, if you'd give the game more time, the environment changes as you progress through the story-it's supposed to be immersive and take time; this isn't a game you finish in one sitting. This takes me to the other point of it being easy to get lost and having to use a walkthrough-this simply isn't the case if you pay attention to the objectives in your journal. They very plainly show a picture of the room you are meant to go to; this game requires observing your surroundings and having good memory. Cineris somnia sets its objectives up so that you do this very thing~ you go back and forth between rooms so that you can start to map the locations out in your mind, rather than having to pull up the game map every five minutes. I think if you look at this game as an experience, rather than a puzzle game that has to have set rules, you'll enjoy it a lot more. It's most certainly worth the money and more, and I very much recommend this to anybody that has a soft spot for PS2 era games~ (Also, a tip: be sure to save often!)

A beautiful game with great story and some horror games vibe. I loved Ophelia's chapter and Charlotte's almost made me cry.

Allow me to attempt to make this product more approachable if I may by sincerely putting together a comparison combination so you are able to decide whether it is for you or not. Deadly Premonition tier graphical style + Ethereal Gothic vistas (Think alt music album covers) + Predominantly Narrative Exploration (Walking Simulator) gameplay with a single chapter branching into Stealth Horror (Run n' hide) + Minimalist [url=https://youtu.be/yLpEzvYewXw]classical-based soundtrack with rare Dark Ambient during the Ophelia chapter + Harvester Games (Think The Cat Lady/Lorelai type dreariness) + Labyrinthian/Old-school Survival Horror puzzle design + Dream logic/Dream-like storytelling that leans into Surrealist imagery occasionally + Silent protagonist + Over-the-shoulder cam with somewhat common fixed camera/first-person (Namely at the SH 4: The Room inspired hub area) views mixed in... Overall if you're into slow and atmospheric games similar to it, it's most likely for you. But I would strongly advise using a guide because this game's greatest weaknesses are it's navigation and awkward animations. I fully understand this came out around 2018, but it looks like a time traveler conjured up an esoteric 2000s/early 2010s video game and published it onto the steam store late.

Cineris Somnia deserves so, SO much more recognition than it's had. It’s an atmospheric, story-rich third-person adventure that feels like a spiritual successor to the great PS2 psychological horror games, with flavours of Silent Hill 2, Haunting Ground and Rule of Rose…and even a smattering of the more recent What Remains of Edith Finch. Released in 2018 by a 2-dev team, some control elements feel understandably dated…but the overall quality is simply astonishing (and seems to be typical of this studio’s releases). The Tall Man finds himself in an unfamiliar place once again - a sanatorium this time, perhaps, or a mansion with a harrowing past. As ever, he must unravel the devastating story that’s led him here. He’ll explore each location, unlocking paths that lead deeper into its secrets in his pursuit of clues and sentimental relics. At the end of each chapter, a resolution - but will it finally bring peace? Both over-the-shoulder and fixed camera angles are used to great effect, creating drama and tension while a haunting piano score drifts over the top. Environments are pleasingly detailed, oozing atmosphere and intrigue as they gradually warp and wane over time. You can tackle three of the five chapters in your choice of order, with some being more complex or action-oriented than others…but all are symbolic, thought-provoking, devastatingly sorrowful tales told in creative ways. Rather than solving puzzles, you simply unlock new rooms by finding keys, or by witnessing an important part of the story: the inevitable backtracking can sometimes make the pace feel slow, but a desperate need to complete the story never ceased to drive me on. There’s no combat, but there are some risky situations and spooky moments. I honestly loved this game. I wish the map cleared markers once complete and showed your character’s location, but they're minor points: this is a game to take your time with, to sink into its atmospheric, ever-evolving environments, lore-rich discoveries, soulful writing and elegant artistic direction. A beautiful, harrowing journey that will stick with me. (Extra details: Around 7 hours to complete the story. There is a "True" ending, which requires an additional play-through if you miss any of the 4 collectibles required. I would absolutely buy a physical, and it seems such a shame that there will probably never be one. Works fine on Steamdeck. If you enjoyed this, check out the dev's other game, Hollow Cocoon - it's quite different mechanically, but still a great play.)
