Hello everyone! Today we are giving you our 50th Steam update and we’d like to dedicate it to the press coverage INSOMNIA received since its release. Other than the usual media attention our game managed to participate in the self-cooling headset tests held by CNET. And of course it’s time to share a few more selected quotes:
“Insomnia: The Ark has been a long time coming. Developed by Russian developer Mono Studio over the course of nine years, it gained a significant following after a successful 2014 Kickstarter campaign. Now this retro sci-fi RPG is finally ready to play, and looks like an impressive combination of Fallout, Mass Effect, and Bioshock.” - Marshall Lemon @ VG24/7
“The art direction is mesmerizing. The dieselpunk Nomah civilization has a fascinating and beautiful aesthetic. It looks like a combination of Soviet propaganda and architecture with retro-futuristic elements. As said in the preview, the influence from the art direction of Fallout and BioShock is very clear, though it’s not just a barefaced imitation. It’s an original combination of elements and details, with a sleek space station visual design.” - Richard Costa @ Techraptor
We are also expecting an in-depth interview with 80 Level to be published for everyone to read in the nearest future. It covers quite a few peculiar technical details regarding the game.
