About Stories of Somnia
Stories of Somnia is a single-player RPG that mixes turn-based strategy with real-time action. Developed by Lydian Games and released on December 31, 2026, it follows a world overrun by a creeping darkness called Gloam. You play as a spellcaster who grapples across environments, solves environmental puzzles, and teams up with Dreamkin allies to fight back. The game runs on PC and Mac, focusing on narrative depth and tactical combat. Its blend of exploration and character-driven storytelling makes it a standout for fans of genre fusion.
Gameplay
Combat alternates between turn-based planning and sudden real-time clashes. You cast spells to swing across gaps, manipulate terrain, or trigger environmental hazards. Dreamkin companions join fights, each with unique abilities that chain together for big damage. Sessions often involve mapping out routes, experimenting with spell combos, and adapting to dynamic boss mechanics. Controls are responsive, but the learning curve is steep, managing resources and timing attacks takes practice. The game rewards patience, with secrets hidden behind clever puzzle logic and branching dialogue choices.
What Players Think
Community ratings are 8.9/10 from 15,234 players, while critics average 87/100. 68% finish the game, with an average playtime of 24 hours. Moods are overwhelmingly curious (72%) and determined (65%), but some players call it “slow-paced.” Review snippets praise the world-building and creativity, though 12% complain about repetitive side quests. There are 286 achievements, with 54% of players hitting 100% completion. The game’s unique mechanics and emotional story keep players engaged despite its flaws.
PlayPile's Take
Stories of Somnia is a solid pick for RPG fans who enjoy deep narratives and hybrid mechanics. At $39.99, it offers good value for its 20+ hour runtime, especially with the 286 achievements adding replayability. Skip it if you dislike slow progression or prefer pure turn-based combat. The Dreamkin system and environmental storytelling shine, but the inconsistent pacing might frustrate some. Worth a try if you’re into inventive RPGs with a strong artistic vision.
