Somnus is a student project made by game students at DigiPen Institute of Technology. Our team includes students working towards degrees in computer science, digital arts, sound design, and game design.

In Somnus you play Melanie, a young shutterbug who wakes up in the middle of the night to find her two favorite stuffed animals have ventured into a mysterious dreamscape in her wardrobe. As Melanie you must help your stuffed companions make their way through the world using your magical camera to solve unique perspective illusions.

Technically speaking Somnus is a 3D puzzle game that utilizes perspective illusions to manipulate the environment. The player aligns themselves in the proper perspective to create, shift, scale, or modify objects in order to reach his or her goal. The game uses dynamic textures and interactive objects as well as a colorful soundscape to bring the world to life and immerse the player in the fantasyland.
