Set in a diesel-punk styled universe with dystopian, retro-futuristic styling, InSomnia takes place on a gargantuan, half-deserted space station 400 years in to its journey slowly making its way to an elusive planet known only as the Evacuation Point.

InSomnia takes place on a gargantuan, half-deserted space station known as The Ark that is slowly making its way toward an elusive planet known only as the Evacuation Point. The Ark is inhabited by the descendants of the Nomans, a race of people who escaped their home planet several centuries earlier when it had become uninhabitable due to a cataclysmic conflict between the Republic of Noma and the SORG Regime. Most of the station has been abandoned and is now colloquially known by its inhabitants as The Dump.

For the last 300 years, the Nomans have been living in the Manned Sector in fear of the SORG, the force that virtually wiped out Noman civilization. The only hope for the Nomans lies in the Evacuation Point, where they plan to start history again from scratch.

Players begin the game as a Noman with their character emerging from cryogenic sleep, trying to understand what happened on the Arc for the last twenty years as they meet other awakened colonists. Players are on a journey to the future, trying to understand the mistakes – and clues – from the past.

InSomnia - the post-apocalyptic RPG that enthralled gamers with its Art Deco-inspired setting - has returned to Kickstarter, looking for $70,000 to finish development of the game.

'The team and I are amazed by the level of anticipation and love shown for our game. To be 50% funded in ten days is really exciting,' said Anatoliy Necrasov - lead developer at Studio MONO, 'To celebrate hitting the half way mark so quickly, and to show our gratitiude, we've decided to release the first playable tech demo as a big thank you to all of our backers!'
