- Traumatising content
Palus Somni (‘Marsh of Sleep’) is a worldbuilding webnovel about what happens when your god forsakes you.
Inspired by gothic horror and mingled with British myth and folklore, join the Alucinari nuns as they struggle with day-to-day life after the world has ended.
With a cast of over thirty different characters, watch as your friends and enemies spiral into inevitable madness in the hands of a callous and unforgiving world.
Each character has their own hand-drawn pixel art, and every update includes a music recommendation for a dark atmospheric or dungeon synth album that you can listen to while you read.
Art and lore updates can be found on the main website: palussomni.com
Story updates every full moon. Extra lore information is often included at the end of a chapter.

A story that draws you in
For whatever reason, my review is showiy several stats less than what I put. It should be:
Style - 5 Story - 5 Grammar - 5 Character - 4.5
Overall - 5
The story starts in the nuns' convent, and through their research and exploration we gradually are exposed to the world outside.
It very much feels like the calm before the storm. Something terrible happened, that hasn't really reached them yet, through its only ba matter of time. How they will meet this, his they will survive (if they even do survive) it's being built up.
The characters are interesting, the grammar and the writing style are very nearly faultless, and the story is intriguing. I'd very much recommend this story to anyone who likes character-driven psychological thrillers.
