<p> <em> It is the final days after the end of the world and you only have one month left before the last sanctuary erupts into chaos. </em> <em> <em> There's a dead body hanging from a tree and cadaverous giants watch you sleep at night. </em> The end is already here, you just don't know it yet. </em> </p> <p> Palus Somni ('Marsh of Sleep') is a worldbuilding webnovel about what happens when your God forsakes you. </p> <p> 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. </p> <p> Every night when the sun sets the monstrous Gol, colossal beings with too many teeth, awake and roam the marshlands. Only those with a faithful heart will be spared. Young acolyte Wille has never seen the walls fail, but when a fellow nun is murdered within their sanctum the very safety of the monastery is thrown into question. Did the Gol find a way to breach their defences, or is there a human traitor amongst them? The answer lies both far in the past and deep beneath the earth, through the maze of ancient catacombs. </p> <p> With <strong> a cast of over thirty different characters </strong> , watch as your friends and enemies spiral into inevitable madness at the hands of a callous and unforgiving world. Discover the secrets of Palus Somni through <strong> letters, diary entries and notes </strong> found scattered across the monastery. Uncover the mystery of the grotesque giants that stalk the night and bring your challenge to the Gods themselves. </p> <p> Each character has their own <strong> handmade pixel art </strong> , and every update includes a music recommendation for a dark atmospheric dungeon synth album that you can listen to while you read. </p> <p> <strong> Slice of life meets gothic horror meets cosmic abomination </strong> : Palus Somni is a <strong> collection of intertwining stories </strong> , some chapters are stand-alone tales while others feed into the overarching narrative. It is an exploration into a community, and rather than focusing on any one character the story meanders through the convent, exposing the joys and fears of its inhabitants. </p> <p> Art and lore can be found on the website: <a href="https://palussomni.com/"> palussomni.com </a> </p> <p> <strong> Story updates every full moon. </strong> </p>
