Somni is a thrilling paranormal investigation first person shooter. Investigate your surroundings and survive your encounters with Ethereal Beings or Cryptids.

Ethereals and Cryptids have both had major overhauls and we are proud to announce this update is live and ready for you to enjoy!

Plenty of unique perks are now available for you to choose from to help you survive. Be careful though, dying at any time will destroy the perk entirely and you will need to work up enough money to purchase it again or try a different perk!
The two types of Entities you will encounter in Somni are Ethereals which are Ghost-Like Entities and Cryptids which are Physical Entities

Ethereals are aggressive Entities and will search everywhere to try to find you. They will destroy doors and hiding spots to cut off your escape routs. Cryptids are physical beings that bleed, and the only way to deter one from chasing you is to fight back with superior firepower. Completing a Cryptid ritual will summon the ritual weapon, which is the only firearm capable of ending its life for good. Every Cryptid has its own Special Ability and Kill Reward that is unique for that Cryptid. Working around these abilities and advantages is critical for your survival.
