About Onirism

Onirism is a vibrant indie adventure game from Crimson Tales, released in 2025 for PC. Set in the whimsical world of Crearia, you play as Carol, a dreamer armed with "pistoys" and sleep-inducing abilities. The goal? Track down Bunbun while lulling enemies into slumber through clever combat and platforming. The game blends puzzle-solving with action, featuring single-player, co-op, and multiplayer modes. Its colorful art style and quirky tone set it apart from typical action games. Ideal for players who enjoy inventive mechanics and collaborative play.

Gameplay

Combat revolves around using pistoys to trigger unique sleep animations on enemies, often requiring timing or environmental interactions. You navigate floating islands and surreal landscapes, solving physics-based puzzles to progress. Multiplayer lets two players tackle levels together, with one focusing on combat and the other on puzzles. Controls are tight, with responsive jumps and weapon swaps. Sessions mix platforming challenges, boss fights with distinct sleep sequences, and co-op coordination. The game avoids traditional looting; instead, you unlock new pistoys and abilities to adapt to enemy types.

What Players Think

PlayPile users rate Onirism 88% positive, with 75% completing the base story in 18 hours on average. 60% of community moods are "amused," 25% "focused," and 15% "frustrated" by late-game puzzles. Critics praise its "charming chaos" but note inconsistent difficulty spikes. 42% of players own the co-op DLC, which adds 6 hours of content. Achievements are optional and light, with 87% of users hitting 100% completion. Most reviews highlight the creativity of sleep attacks, though some call the multiplayer matchmaking "hit or miss."

PlayPile's Take

Onirism shines for fans of inventive platformers and co-op experimentation. Priced at $29.99, it offers 15-20 hours of core gameplay with optional challenges. The sleep mechanic feels fresh, though not everyone will appreciate the humor. Skip if you prefer structured combat or deep narratives. With 140 achievements and a 78% community approval for replayability, it’s a solid pick for casual groups or solo players who enjoy lighthearted, puzzle-driven adventures.
