Horror Adventure ‘Insomnis’ Receiving PlayStation 5 Enhanced Version, Physical Edition
Back in January, Sony Interactive Entertainment España and Path Games released the “Long Night Edition” of Insomnis for the PlayStation 4. Now, Path Games has announced that Insomnis will be receiving an enhanced version on the PlayStation 5 on May 31st, as well as a physical European release.
Published by Meridiem Games, the physical version of Insomnis will feature a special cover, a set of memory playing cards that are also showcased in-game, plus an artbook detailing all of the concept art that was used for the game’s creation. That’s on top of the PlayStation 5 enhancements for Insomnis, which include 4K graphics and enhanced textures, faster loading times, dynamic shadows, and DualSense haptic feedback and 3D audio.
The story for Insomnis sees players assume the role of Joe Castevet, who just so happens to have inherited Castevet manor from his grandfather. Unfortunately for Joe, no one told him about the mansion being haunted. In order to get out alive, Joe will have to explore the mansion and uncover his family’s dark past using a variety of items to solve puzzles contained within the mansion’s walls.
Insomnis is also available on PC via Steam.
If you haven’t gotten your fill of Backrooms games yet after the success of the Kane Parsons film, Cortez Productions and Perp Games are here to fix that, launching The Backrooms: Lost Tape today on PlayStation 5. Originally released on Steam back in 2022, The Backrooms: Lost Tape ushers you back, quite literally, into the movie theatre.
Separated into two chapters (tapes), you’ll first play as an usher, Josh, who accidentally falls into the Backrooms. As you explore, you will be desperately trying to unravel the mysteries of the intertwined, sprawling yellow rooms to find any means of escape. Each empty space may not be as empty as it seems… malevolent entities stand in your way of freedom.
With the second tape, in an intense mission to find out what happened to Josh, more of the haunting story starts to unfold. Take a deeper dive into the unsettling and eerie world as Nikolas, as this chapter introduces its own unique challenges. Will Nikolas ever discover its secrets and find out what happened to Josh?
The PlayStation 5 release of The Backrooms: Lost Tape coincides with a major update for the Steam version, which has seen the game upgraded to Unreal Engine 5.6. That also entails updated visuals, full controller support, and various bug fixes.
