  A Brand-New Free Demo of Parasomnia: No REM Is Out Now!

  Hello everyone!After several months of hard work, we're very excited to announce that a brand-new free demo of Parasomnia: No REM is now available on Steam!Since the release of our previous demo, the project has continued to evolve significantly. During this time, we've been working on improving gameplay, atmosphere, and many other aspects that we consider essential to achieving the level of quality we're aiming for in the full game. That's why we decided to take things a step further and develop an entirely new experience, designed to better represent the current state of Parasomnia: No REM.A Completely New ExperienceThis new demo isn't simply an update to the previous one. We've created an entirely different journey, featuring new environments, rooms, horror sequences, and challenges, all designed to deliver a fresh experience within the world of Parasomnia.We've also reconsidered its length. While the previous demo offered approximately 40 minutes of gameplay, this new free experience is designed to be completed in around 10 to 15 minutes, offering a shorter, more focused journey while preserving the intensity, depth, and psychological horror that define the game. This decision also aims to make the demo more accessible at gaming events and exhibitions, giving more people the opportunity to experience it from beginning to end.Most importantly, we want this new version to give you a firsthand look at the improvements we've made to our core mechanics and overall gameplay feel, while also offering a small glimpse of the new audiovisual experience we're building for the full release of Parasomnia.Refining Gameplay and ImmersionOne of our main goals over the past few months has been to improve how Parasomnia feels to play. We've made numerous adjustments to character movement and camera rotation, aiming to deliver smoother, more natural, and responsive controls. We've also paid special attention to Close Eyes, our core mechanic that allows players to close their eyes ...

  Quiet on the outside. Busy on the inside.

  While things may have seemed silent from the outside, development on Parasomnia: No REM has been moving forward steadily behind the scenes.Over the past months, we’ve been focused on reworking previously created content, refining core systems, improving the overall experience, and building entirely new sections of the game. Our current goal is to shape a stronger and more cohesive first chapter that better introduces the world, mechanics, and psychological tension of Parasomnia.This process has involved revisiting older areas, polishing visuals and atmosphere, expanding gameplay moments, and creating new content that aligns with the vision we have for the project.Today, we wanted to break that silence by sharing a first look at something that is currently in development.There’s still a lot happening in the background, and we’re looking forward to showing more as progress continues.More updates soon 👁.

  The Unconscious as a Source of Horror

  That was one of the first questions we asked ourselves when we began developing Parasomnia: No REM.We decided to explore a theme never before seen in horror video games: sleepwalking.The game is a first-person psychological horror experience in which the protagonist suffers episodes of sleepwalking that drag him into a world twisted by the traumas of his childhood.The unconscious as a source of terrorThe terror in Parasomnia: No REM is built around the No REM state, a scientifically real state where the real world and the world of dreams become fused.During development, we understood this state as an opportunity to work with the unconscious: incomplete perceptions, fragmented memories, and shifting rules governed by dreams.Instead of confronting the player with constant jumpscares, fear emerges from inhabiting a world that stops responding to clear logic and becomes a reflection of a damaged mind, where repressed memories inevitably seep through.Gameplay based on sleepwalkingThe experience revolves around:Switching between being awake and sleepwalkingConnecting with your sleepwalking body in the real worldSolving puzzles by combining both planesIn Parasomnia: No REM, puzzles are not abstract objects: they are fragmented memories that gradually help our protagonist reconstruct events he tried to forget.This is just the beginning. In upcoming devlogs, we’ll dive deeper into how these ideas translate into mechanics, level design, and atmosphere.👁️ You can now add it to your Steam wishlist:
