Somnia

🌙 Welcome to Somnia

A cozy adventure game where dreams shape reality. Farm by day, explore dream dungeons by night, and weave emotions into magical items.

"Most crafting systems ask what materials you have. Somnia asks how you feel."

🎭 What Makes Somnia Different

Instead of collecting wood and stone, you work with 6 core emotions — Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, Wonder, and Love. Combine them to grow crops, craft tools, and reshape the dream world. Every emotion matters. Even failure creates something useful.

✨ Features

• 🌾 Farm & Craft — Grow crops, raise animals, craft items from dream materials
• ⚔️ Dream Dungeons — Explore procedurally generated dreamscapes with puzzles and creatures
• 💫 Emotion Crafting — 6 emotions × infinite combinations = unique magical effects
• 🎣 Fish & Forage — Discover rare catches in dream rivers and collect wild ingredients
• 🏠 Build Your Home — Customize your cozy house in the dream world
• 🤝 Meet NPCs — Befriend quirky dream characters with their own stories
• 🐾 Tame Creatures — Befriend dream monsters and add them to your party
