Wish I would've started this game after I purchased it... It is perfekt to play whenever experiencing insomnia. At least it is better to play than reminiscing about the good times and looking back on the embarrassment and heartbreaks.

This was such a wonderful game to play. As someone with insomnia, I felt like the art and sound effects created an amazing metaphor for what it can feel like when your head doesn't turn off. Wanting to sleep but you can't. The game tells such a touching story and if you too struggle with insomnia you will feel seen by this short game. It took me maybe two-three hours to beat and was especially fun at night. A great game to play if you're having an insomnia episode ;) highly recommend!!!

Despite being a short gaming experience, it definitely nails its artistic choices and the way it explores the theme of insomnia and the mental issues that come with it, such as trauma, anxiety, and the absurdity and the repetitiveness of the routines of the everyday life. It's purely art in gaming format, where you can easily relate with it. The puzzles are quite easy but they still manage to be fun and creative in how they implement the themes of each chapter in a really abstract and beautiful manner. If you want a short but sweet, cute, and beautiful experience, Insomnia: Theater in the Head is easily the game that will be able to represent that little voice deep inside your mind when you're trying to sleep.

Do it. Buy it. I feel seen. Insomnia is a cute, amazingly illustrated game about exactly what it is like to have insomnia. It may be a short experience but is perfectly paced and reflects well, it's subject matter. 10/10
