Hypnagogia is the experience of the transitional state from wakefulness to sleep. Mental phenomena that occur during this "threshold consciousness" phase include lucid dreaming, hallucinations, and sleep paralysis.In this state, the only thing you can do is wait and endure. The game is mainly made to be used with the Oculus Rift.
The second level(night) of the game is now finish. Even if some tweaking still has to be done, the animations, models, textures, scripting, audio and programming are finished. The focus is now on the third and last night, which is intended to be the more developed than the two other. This third will have for theme the feeling of being watched, oppression, childhood fears and a bit of mental illness(schizophrenia). Again, the development will begin with the brainstorm for this night(what will happen and when), then the modeling and texturing, the animations and finally, the programming and scripting.
I have also thought of adding a sort of intro for the second and third night. Those intro would be, like in the first night(demo), a dream or a nightmare. Those will end by your wakening, which will be the begining of the sleep paralysis. I planning them to be like a small and short linear exploration game.
If you are interrest in this game, the demo for it can be download here:
If you have an Oculus Rift, you can get the version for it right here
The demos of Hypnagogia are now available for the oculus and for the normal screen.
I played the game a while ago, and everyone loved it! :)
My Playthrough:
You can link the video if you want! :)
I've just tried the Demo, and i was so happy to get out of the room after my crazy night :)
Seriously, i'm curious about lucid dreaming and know that we've got to go through sleep paralysis to have one, and if i'm happy to have done your demo, i don't know if i want to live it in real sleep. Thanks.

Man, this was a very different kind of game. I'm really happy I don't have an Oculus! And by that I mean I did because I kind of have a quasi phobia of sleep paralysis. lol
This is a different kind of horror that's totally worth checking out! Great job, PixiGuy! I can't wait for more!
Thank to have tried my game! :D
I tried out the normal screen version and it was pretty creepy! Mostly because of how dark the game is and that eerie sound that slowly comes along...! Also I don't believe I encountered any bugs or problems with the game.

Glad you like it and thank a lot for watching Hypnagogia!! :D
I think all but one screen shot shows a black screen.
Yes, the screenshots seems almost black when they are minimize, but they are clearer when they are in fullscreen/HD :p
