Psychosomnium



A Platform Game by Cactus... so you already know it's gonna be weird.

Psychosomnium is a short, quite surreal story, telling the story of Jimmy, or rather, Jimmy's dream and the people who inhabit it, struggling with a mysterious unexplained problem.

Basically, it's your typical cute dream in video game form. It can be downloaded here.

The game features the following tropes:

 * And Now for Someone Completely Different:
 * Beautiful Void
 * Dream Land
 * Everything's Worse With Bees: A bee is one of the protagonists.
 * Fetch Quest: Subverted. A trio of rabbits demands carrots before they'll let you pass. They then mention, however, that carrots don't exist, and thus you're doomed to failure.
 * Gainax Ending: Well, it's a dream, after all.
 * :, apparently.
 * Gonk: Shirley, for being the only female in the game, looks quite grotesque.
 * Good Old Fisticuffs: Mitch.
 * Graphics Induced Super Deformed
 * Killer Rabbit: Rabbits who kill you by touching.
 * Masocore: In its "proper" definition, "player death as narrative technique".
 * Species Surname: McBee.
 * Spikes of Doom
