Two years ago, Paru Paru answered the question: "What if Pokémon had a base building and multiplayer connection?" And Pocketpair's next game, Never Grave: The Witch and The Curse, is working on The Hollow Knight as usual.

The work was announced in 2023 and is initially planned to start Early Access (EA) later that year.Its art, animation and boss battles are similar to "The Hollow Knight".But like "Palu" in Paru, "Insomnia" blatantly imitates it and focuses on the new elements it brings: 4-player collaboration, base construction, light Rogue gameplay, and the ability to possess enemies similar to "Super Mario Odyssey".

At the end of 2023, the early access date for "Insomnia" was postponed to early 2024.Soon after, Pocketpair released a trial version for the Steam New Product Festival.After receiving mixed feedback from the trial, Pocketpair decided to postpone the launch of the early experience and focus on improving the game.

In its first Steam page update after more than a year, Pocketpair now says "Insomnia" will completely abandon the early access phase and release it directly in the full 1.0 version.

"As a result of valuable feedback from many players during the trial, we decided to deliver the game in a full form rather than a phased early access. The development team is currently making final adjustments to ensure you get the best gaming experience on the first day of the game. Stay tuned!"
