How it feels

A surreal detective thriller with a slow-burn mystery, driven by dialogue and choice, where reality feels disjointed and nothing is quite what it seems.

What players say

Players say the Somnium puzzles are improved and the presentation is polished, but many feel the plot gets messy and the story falls short of the first game. There is a split on the ending: some find it mindblowing while others say it didn't land. A notable point of criticism is the sexualization of underage characters.
