psychosomnium

Psychosomnium is an absurd platformer that takes place in a dream, part of the game is to figure out how to progress the story. Controls are the arrow keys and the X key. Perhaps you should not try this game when you're easily frustrated :) (Hint to prevent first frustration: when the 'Stranger' can't make the jump, you should perhaps try to go back ...)

I managed it to pass the bunnys, but now??? can't jump long enough

palat said...

You need to beat the bunnies with the other guy, he can jump longer and he can just punch the bunnies with the x key :-)

palat said...

so need to die on the spikes and take the other guy for the bunnies

Cliffhanger ending that makes absolutely no sense at all.

Megan said...

the Bee man part demanded way too much patience - I gave up.

Carly said...

Yeah... no! This was a silly game. Much too demanding for only - what - two or three levels? And the ending was indeed very unsatisfactory. Where do you find all this rubbish, Bart? :o Not that I'm not grateful for your efforts to post stuff for me to play, but this was really silly...

Stephen said...

The bee level was just a waste of time and effort, way to touchy and unpredictable. Bart I have seen better, sorry.

I agree, the bee level demanded too much effort.

This game has been around for a while as a PC-only download and is kind of legendary -- I'd watched a walkthrough because I can't play PC-only games.

Now that I can play it, I'm glad I watched the walkthrough. The McBee screens are like the most annoying parts of When Pigs Fly.

A strange ending ... a sequel is needed.

Brianna said...

WTF?!? Castle: I AM THE MAGICIAN!!! awsome ending totally needs a sequal! LMFAO!!! aaaahhhh i love this game.

Ah.

I never expected to see a Cactus Game on this site.

And from what I hear of him, this is pretty much exactly his style of game; short, sweet and prone to make you go 'WTF'?

Sweet catch, Bart.

PK said...

Ha! Beat it fairly easily (even though the bee level was a pain), once the concept of "die to switch characters" became clear. I liked this one. Crazy and nonsensical, but at least it was consistently crazy, if that makes sense. The ending is a total "WTF?!?" moment, but somehow after the surreal trip I took to get there, it felt *right*. Thumbs up!

Rabbit said...

I can't get past the bee level!! Can anyone help me?

AHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHA. I loved this game. That is all.

Unknown said...

interesting game. love the soundtrack. ending is weird. the bee part is not that hard once you figure out you can actually go very close to the upper spikes, but not too close to the lower ones

Boris said...

The Bee part is annoying. I'm glad there wasn't more of this though, it ended before becoming too tedious.

Incidentally there's another way past the rabbits, hold down the jump key and they keep jumping and you can run under them.
