Sonem: Save Your thoughts

What is Sonem you ask?

Short answer its a game about insomnia and the fear of forgetting. 

You play as a thought or a memory of sorts and your only goal is to get written down in your owner's notebook so you won't be forgotten.

As you traverse the bedroom deadly strings slowly appear and you have to navigate your way through the dangers to make sure your owner can sleep peacefully.

Sonem is my attempt at portraying the feeling/atmosphere of a restless night in bed.
Laying awake reflecting on life and previous experiences while overthinking everything is something a lot of people experience. it's a dreadful state to be in and something I personally know well.

But Sonem is not meant to highlight that part of insomnia.

When I experience this I have an urge to try and remember the lessons I learn when I reflect. That's the thought you play as in the game the thing you want to remember when you can't sleep.

Writing thoughts down in my notebook personally helps me with insomnia, and I wanted to share that knowledge with the world in my own weird way.

This is a 2-week project I made for my graduation as a multimedia animator. I made it my goal to develop a simple but visually strong game within 3 weeks and I'm proud of the end result and I hope you like it to.
