yan魇: Parasomnia

“Mama Wan has just passed. Mum has left work early today to prepare for the funeral. Brother and I will be taking the bus after school. It’s been a while since we have gone back there.“

A Forlorn Homecoming

Explore the decrepit apartments of Wallace Court as either Wan Zi Min or Wan Zi Han, a sister-brother duo with a formerly unknown heritage, as they are unwittingly dragged into thwarting a sinister disturbance so close to home.

A Trial of Two Wanderers

Play as a single-player journey, and brave the spiritual realm on your own—or, if you’re feeling generous, drag a friend along for the ride. Together you’ll solve puzzles, face restless phantoms, and maybe even argue over who’s actually helping.

An Old-School Perspective

Drawing inspiration from other classics of survival horror, experience the nostalgia when the genre was first being defined as you search through haunted remains and unravel dark mysteries. Confront the supernatural using modernized controls with classic gameplay.

A Time When Spirits Walk the Earth

Set during the late 1980s, when superstition and folklore were inseparable from everyday life, you will encounter various ghosts and spirits during your journey. While some would love to talk your young ears off, others may be less than pleased to meet you.

A World to Explore

From dilapidated apartment blocks (inspired by Southeast Asian structures) to other less-than-normal environments, you will traverse a number of varying landscapes as you attempt to piece together the unfolding truth. Keep your wits about you as the realms can be misleading.

An Ending Driven by Choice

Every action you take, has a consequence. From spending time with a stray cat to assisting strange neighbours with equally strange requests, the ending of YAN魇: PARASOMNIA is wholly and directly driven by your very actions. You choose your ending. Dying is entirely optional but available.
