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: Triggered several times by the death of the character you're controlling right now; you then become the character who witnessed that death.
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.
Genius Loci: The wizard is actually his own castle, 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
