无魇夜话

By day, this is a light-drinks bookstore.

By night, beneath the deep sea, we journey to the end of dreams.

Talk Insomnia is a visual novel that blends suspenseful weird tales with mixology. You play as Ming, a bookstore staff member who prepares drinks for guests during the day and delves into their stories at night. With the warmth of a single drink, you draw out the secrets buried deep in their hearts.

As for the phone legend entwined with every guest—is it the greed of those who make wishes, or a trap set by an imitator? Is it a natural curse, or the work of a corrupted heart? Who is the true culprit behind the legend?

Let us piece together the truth hidden beneath all the lies, in the space between dreams and reality.

Welcome to the deep sea of the subconscious. In dreams—no one can lie.

The Abyss Bookstore Legend Incident is about to begin.

The player takes on the role of Ming, a bookstore clerk, who guides guests into their subconscious dreams by mixing a special drink called "Abyss".

Within the dreams, collaborators possess special abilities — sensing emotions, detecting lies, forcing follow-up questions, rewinding and resetting, and more.

Players must gather clues during the day and solve mysteries in dreams at night, uncovering the truth through layer after layer of twists. Mixing drinks is not just a backdrop setting, but a core mechanic that runs throughout both the narrative and the gameplay.

The story revolves around a phone-based urban legend involving wishes and their costs, exploring the disconnect between greed, desire, and the sense of happiness.

Behind every guest lies a mysterious legend, and behind every legend lies the human heart.

"In the late-night phone booth, a voice asks you what wish you want to fulfill." The legend is not a natural disaster, but a man-made one. An imitator plays with people's hearts by exploiting the rules, and the true culprit is hiding among the guests.

As players connect the cases, they must also confront their own memories and the mystery of their identity, ultimately revealing the mastermind behind the legend.
