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.
