Interesting game! I enjoy the visuals and the voice acting perhaps the most; traversing the levels felt ok. Pops of colour and the lighting range really worked well here to keep the atmosphere tense. Sequences featuring the figure didn't really impact or stick with me much; they just kind of happened and it felt a little forced.
The model is perhaps at its best when allowed to be mostly obscured by the light and gas, not the viewer's mind to fill in the literal gaps.
Thanks for playing and sharing your thoughts. I made the game the way I like it so probably a lot comes down to subjective judgement of each player but I'm glad everyone is connected by the creepypasta that we all adore so much 😁
Gave it a Let's Play, gameplay, feedback/criticisms within! I liked the model detail, though, during the jumpscare at the end, he seems to lose his teeth briefly too.
This game had everything going for it. Great graphics. Great atmo. Great story. I was just about to say [while recording] "Great game!" when you guys thought it would be a great idea to blast my eardrums out at the end. What makes you believe [or who or what told you] over-the-top loud noises are scary? They ain't. They're annoying [to me]. The only reason I didn't toss this game in the bin [as per my 'No Loud Noises' policy] is because the other 99% of the game is so great.
Please be more creative [as you've shown you can do in the other 99% of the game] and come up with other ideas to get the same result. I beg you.
Didn't run into any bugs. hiccups or other snags. Thanks for making this game and kudos to all involved.
[This was the first game I played in this video] This was such a solid atmospheric horror game. Thought the execution and idea was great! Worth the play!
Great game, although the game is short, it manages to create a very terrifying atmosphere. The voice actors did great, and that line "I MUST REMAIN AWAKE" 10/10
I thoroughly enjoyed this game, if this is a reflection of your improved game development since the days of Nox Timore then im excited to play more by you!
Just wanted to say that I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS GAME!!! It was so simplistic and creepy in the BEST WAY POSSIBLE!!! As a huge fan of the original story I can't help but NOT RECOMMEND THIS!!!
Vidas, You've done an absolutely fantastic job here. My only real "complaint" is that I felt that the interact key & running were underutilized. Yet in reality I might just be nitpicking.
We are you.. darkness shrouds the corner of our darkest minds. Insanity’s creations poked and prodded, slowly driving us to our most animalistic minds.. one.. two.. stay awake.. clock resets.. tick, tock, tick, tock.

I’ve always been in love with the Russian sleep experiment creepy pasta stories. Ever since I was younger and first watched the story on it, instantly triggered my night terrors from then on in. This game definitely underlined all that came from the deep darker tone of the story.
It was well paced and absolutely loved the “shift to sprint” to make you feel a sense of urgency. If any horror gaming fans know that feeling when that text appears. Than you’ll love that part of the game.
Cool. Love atmospheric horror games! Was worried it would be way too similar to the "Sleep Experiment" demo that came out a month or so ago- (based on the same sleep experiment as this game) Cool for a little free game tho! also- love how everyone associates that horrible cheap halloween prop as the image for this subject lol I have one. he came from party city LMAO
I actually did some research about this famous image and the story itself before making the game, and knew that this was a halloween doll from long time ago, but then I thought that people really associate that picture with the creepypasta so I just went ahead and made it into the game anyway, since it's all now part of this internet history.
Anyway, that's really cool that you have this, I should get one too haha
This was a great game! I knew of the creepy pasta before so it was nice you told the story as it went along, the jumps and voices were great and I loved the scares! Really great job I recommend! Here is my gameplay video.
True, although it's a little late for halloween, but I made one game called Umbra Halloween for that time. But also who's to say that you can't celebrate halloween the whole year 🎃
You've created an impressive game, from its atmosphere to the voice acting (which is not commonly seen in this type of indie games) and successfully adapting such a sinister creepypasta. You should be proud! Keep it up, you have a lot of potential. :D
This was a very interesting short horror game! I liked how it was telling the creepypasta throughout using the radios. There was a lot of intense moments. I liked it! Keep up the good work!
You blamed me for using assets when I didn't and made everything myself and when you were informed that you were wrong, this is your response? 😂 I can't tell if you're trolling or what 🤣
i am not jealous why would i be ????? such terrible level design and voice acting and also i am developer but i am making everything alone! do you think every negative comment is made because someone is jealous ..... How Dare you criticize my game
don't you know we live in a Gaming Dictatorship ...one more word against us and you are Game Over !
man, ive noticed you in ALL the comments these days, being insanely incredibly rude to a lot of devs while touting the fact that you made a "very special unique" game, that you simultaneously make excuses for why its such poor quality (and why it shouldnt get any criticism *at all*). maybe if you weren't so mean all the time, people would want to help you make better games. but as it stands, i can't imagine anyone looking at your black hole of negativity and wanting to get involved.
im sorry youre in such a hard place that this is what you have to do to feel better. seriously. ive been so internally angry and frustrated before that i wanted to just tear the world down. but all youre doin is burning yourself. i wish you the best my dude, and that you find the happiness you so desperately need.
I do freelance LD and I think his level design is fine for what he was trying to do for the game. also- doesent your game use "assets" in the form of ancient art?
i never said you are using assets ,i just said level design is extremely bad and there is easy option of using hospital or labs assets but you can make some changes .. just because you are using your own assets does not make a game good in any way ,and is that your normal reaction laughing at every comment that is not positive on your work !
Hey Dzonny, I don't know who hurt you so much that you find it necessary to stalk the comment section of another developer & criticize their work. It's just childish. You can be critical, but it also helps to be constructive instead of just argumentative. I for one actually appreciate this game for a lot of things mainly because this is the first time (that I am aware of) that Vidas has broken out of doing his own stories. Personally, I find it refreshing. Seeing people adapt creepypastas into their own vision is a good thing with a well-established community. So not only is he doing everything himself, but he is also being very sensible in targeting an audience because the market is clearly there.
You are coming off as rude. As you said, we are living in a gaming dictatorship. So stop dictating that you are going to "Game Over" someone. Be better.
Phenomenal! I was expecting the jumpscare, but at a different spot of the game not where it actually happened and it got me good thanks to that =) keep up the amazing work and left a follow!

Yeah! Not everything has to be made to my preferences and that's fair. :) Still a well made experience with enjoyable parts!
Very true, thank you for the support!

Thanks for playing!
Very interesting concept. Congratulations on the game!

I'm glad I could help creep you out with some voicing! Great video!
I thoroughly enjoyed this game, if this is a reflection of your improved game development since the days of Nox Timore then im excited to play more by you!
Thank you!
Yeah I've been making a lot of games since Nox Timore, and there will be a lot more soon!
Btw in comparison, Nox Timore was my 2nd game I even made, back in 2014, and Insomnis Experiment is my 40th game from last week 😁
Also I made Nox Timore Remake last year that you can play for free here on itchio as well
Glad you had a fun time playing the game, hope I sufficiently creeped you out with my voice!
Your voice is awesome in the game!
Just wanted to say that I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS GAME!!! It was so simplistic and creepy in the BEST WAY POSSIBLE!!! As a huge fan of the original story I can't help but NOT RECOMMEND THIS!!!

Glad you enjoyed the game! Hope I gave you a good spook with my voice!

Nah, thank you for all that you did. It takes a hella lotta effort to make somethin creepy through voice acting. And you did one hell of a job.
appreciate you taking the time to comment!🙏🏼
Creepy game
Thanks for playing!
Thanks for playing, glad you found it creepy!
Thanks for playing!

Thanks for playing, hope my voice helped add to the experience!

True, although it's a little late for halloween, but I made one game called Umbra Halloween for that time. But also who's to say that you can't celebrate halloween the whole year 🎃
Would have been nice, but hope you still enjoyed the game and that I could creep you out with my voice!
Hi, Vidas Games!
You've created an impressive game, from its atmosphere to the voice acting (which is not commonly seen in this type of indie games) and successfully adapting such a sinister creepypasta. You should be proud! Keep it up, you have a lot of potential. :D
Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it!
Thank you for the compliments on the voice acting, Kwirkee and I worked very hard and hope we provided a good experience!
Horrifying, creepy and ominous throughout. Love it! 10/10

Thank you, but don't hate him, he's friendly, just lonely and hasn't slept in a few... umm... weeks. 👀
This was a very interesting short horror game! I liked how it was telling the creepypasta throughout using the radios. There was a lot of intense moments. I liked it! Keep up the good work!

THIS GAME SUCKS !
You blamed me for using assets when I didn't and made everything myself and when you were informed that you were wrong, this is your response? 😂 I can't tell if you're trolling or what 🤣
Nothing wrong in using assets and templates as a developer. as long as the idea and game is unique, nothing wrong with it. think bros just jealous.
Could be could be
i am not jealous why would i be ????? such terrible level design and voice acting and also i am developer but i am making everything alone! do you think every negative comment is made because someone is jealous ..... How Dare you criticize my game
