Stories of Somnia has a really fun style and an interesting mixture of game mechanics that blurs the line between different genres and now you can try it.

What exactly is it? An exploration-first game. Every environment is rather packed with secret locations to find, characters to meet, and loot for you to discover across three major regions with very different biomes. You don't have to go alone in this either, as you'll come across lots of Dreamkin, creatures that become your companions with each of them designed to help you during combat.

It's all based around Arts, the spells in the game. You can use them in combat, they become essential for puzzles and are designed to help with your exploration and experimentation.
