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.

‘El Paso, Elsewhere’ – LaKeith Stanfield Starring in Adaptation of Monster Hunting Video Game

Published

on

Last year’s monster hunting shooter El Paso, Elsewhere is headed to the screen, with THR reporting that LaKeith Stanfield (Haunted Mansion) will star in the live action film adaptation.

Stanfield will also produce the film alongside Lorenzo di Bonaventura.

THR notes in today’s report, “There is no writer or director, as the project is still being packaged in the hopes of finding a studio home. The package is seen as buzzy, as it is a video game adaptation, a bustling genre thanks to titles such as The Last of Us, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, and the most recent hit, Fallout.”

In the upcoming movie version of El Paso, Elsewhere, “Recovering from a toxic relationship, James Savage (LaKeith Stanfield) confronts both his inner demons and enigmatic ex-girlfriend, Janet, before she executes a world-ending ritual. James navigates her reality-bending universe of ethereal monsters while facing the truth of his own addictions and skewed sense of self-worth. James learns that the only route to love is through healing.”

Developer Strange Scaffold’s El Paso, Elsewhere was released this past September.

Aaron Boehm wrote in his 4-star review here on Bloody Disgusting, “Much like its inspiration Max Payne, and other games in Remedy’s catalog, there’s a clear vision that unites every frame of this game, making for an experience that both reignites a classic action subgenre and forges an identity all its own. Few games have a better elevator pitch than El Paso, Elsewhere, and it’s awesome to see it live up to those expectations with style and heart.”
