'Insomnia' Now Called 'Insomnia: The Ark' And Being Published By HeroCraft - Trailer

Insomnia: The Ark is a complex story-driven RPG that takes place on a colossal space metropolis brimming with the secrets of a long-gone civilization.

Develop your character, explore lovingly handcrafted locations, interact with peculiar NPCs and factions, craft equipment and try to stay alive.

You awaken on Object 6 - a retro-futuristic space station set on a 400-year journey in search of a new home. Stricken with a rare psychological disease, you have to uncover macabre secrets and the truth behind humanity’s journey to the ghost-like Evacuation Point.

Search for valuable technology and resources in the confines of Object 6. Pay attention - Insomnia: The Ark’s nuanced world can conceal unexpected quests from treacherous characters, as well as savage enemies and deadly hazards. Hunger, thirst, fatigue and hostile environments will be your main companions throughout this journey.

First of all, we were legally able to keep “Insomnia” as the name for our project. To make this possible we had to add some additional elements to the title, thus the game will be distributed as Insomnia: The Ark on Steam and other platforms.

We are also happy to announce that Insomnia is going to be published by HeroCraft, a successful publishing company and a game industry veteran that has been around for the last 15 years. Being focused on indie developers, HeroCraft let us keep all of the intellectual property rights related to Insomnia which was a huge “yes” for us as well.  

Insomnia: The Ark features both close and ranged combat, as well as destroyable covers. Choose your gear wisely - every armor and weapon type in the game has its own tactical virtues and shortcomings.

Break free from character classes and unwanted grind with a flexible perk system combined with a huge amount of craftable items and equipment for an experience unique to every player.

Insomnia: The Ark offers an intricate, non-linear storyline with ‘points of no return’. Navigate a system of thorny relations with characters and factions and make tough decisions that affect the game world. Each major problem can be solved using a variety of different (and sometimes unexpected) solutions.

Experience the game’s rich lore through retro-futuristic noir visuals with elements of dieselpunk. Witness man-made apocalyptic landscapes imbued with a dark noir jazz soundtrack and echoes of a decaying civilization.
