Hypnagogia 1½ [Jam Demo]
A downloadable interquel for Windows
A protector submerged, a mirror shattered, and a dreamscape left severed. After every lost hypnagogic gem was found, the world of sleep wondered- what happened next?
When one dream ends, a new one begins. Where it leads is left up to you.
Hypnagogia 1½ is a surreal, first-person exploration game with light platforming, puzzle solving, and visual novel elements, where you control the dream guardian rabbit Gogi on a quest to mend a corrupted dreamscape.
In this DEMO from the 2025 LSD Jam, you'll experience the abbreviated beginnings of a plot that takes place shortly after the first Hypnagogia, as well as a fully explorable and completable world.
- Pull levers, climb ladders, grab/stack/throw objects, and interact with your environment like you never have before in previous Hypnagogia games.
- All new mechanics: swim underwater and avoid draining your dream sanity as you navigate a flooded and ravaged rodent-run city world.
- Complete controller support (and recommended).
Thanks for checking out an early prototype for this new installment in the Hypnagogia series! This demo was developed over the course of 2 months for the 2025 LSD Jam hosted by Figglewatts. If you enjoyed this demo and would like to leave feedback, drop a comment. I will continue working throughout the year to release the full version of the game on itchio, Steam, and other platforms. Thank you~

Man, it's a surprise to see this make a comeback, after playing the other games, I enjoyed this one! It was really nice and still love the concept of the series. I look forward for more of this in the future!
Wow, I really enjoyed this! As a fan of the previous Hypnagogia games, this seems to be a very worthy follow-up, and the water theme fits in with the dreamy nature of these games really well. The sanity and breath meters in particular have a lot of promise, and I can imagine how they will be used to build strong moments of tension throughout the later dream worlds.
Immediately the junk city creates a good impression, being beautiful and engrossing in its own right, even with the world itself being themed after trash and sewage. The characters are oozing with personality, and just existing in the environment and soaking up the atmosphere is compelling on its own. I'm thankful to have gotten another Hypnagogia dream world to explore.
I'm really anticipating the full release and what future dreams await.
This was super fun, the levels and music was a really nice vibe! Even thought the platforming can be a little clunky, what you have here is very strong.
The water mechanic feels good, id say its a big improvement from the original Hypnagogia with the secret water level in that game. being that it had a floaty feel, this game feels a lot smoother and intuitive!
The only minor thing that I noticed on my playthrough is a minor grammar error.
really looking forward to the full game when its finish! take your time, make it nice.
Thanks for playing, glad you liked~ and thanks for pointing out that text error. There's so much dialogue I knew there had to be at least a few.
Man this was absolutely fantastic!! I am literally speechless, this trilogy is starting to get more and more exciting. Tons of lore and tons of fun!! Thanks sodaraptor for this gem, really looking forward to the full release! I really loved how it had this Zelda Water Temple vibe overall and the whole interacting with other NPCs idea.
I enjoyed it greatly! The level and hub are pretty breathtaking, and overall the visuals and puzzles really feel like they've gotten more complex since the other Hypnagogia games!
Minor softlock: When you're at the very end of the level, you can get trapped if you revisit B-Block's Sluice control tunnel, near the couch slacker.
Thanks for checking it out, glad you enjoyed! And noted on the softlock- definitely missed that during testing so good catch. Will add a ladder there in a future update.
i'm totally stuck on the first puzzle with the 4 buttons :/
I saw the symbols in the other room but i cant figure it out
Nevermind! This time it worked! i restarted the game and entered the combination on the wall.
Love basically everything here. The platforming can be a bit clunky, but still generally fine. But I did move the rock/lump of trash to get the health crystal in the city, and I think I made it harder to get up to the joke rat, and it's hard to get to just from the water, thankfully possible. So that thing is the only major problem I saw
AWESOME!!!
loved the music, and the areas are fun to traverse
edit: I was having a lag issue related to playing w/ a controller but the issue was on my end, not the game's
That's super weird and I have no idea why that could be happening. Seems odd a controller would cause literal framerate lag depending on if it's plugged in or not. All I had to test with was an Xbox 360-esque controller, so I'm not sure how other controllers affect the game. Could it be some of your drivers being possibly outdated?
I updated my controller's firmware and the issue seems to have gone away, so it was something on my end after all
bizarre, but good to know
The game doesn't quite handle well when you unplug the controller. Had it launch once, the controller disconnected & now it refuses to launch.
Just finished the demo. Very fun and great atmosphere and music. Sodaraptor has an amazing visual style that has really been finely tuned into a very unique and enjoyable experience. The world, the characters and the vibe all come together into a great immersive interactive experience.
I did have a few issues with some of the platforming parts, most likely a skill issue on my end. But this was great, can't wait to see more.
SODARAPTOR FUDGECAKE YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
It says a controller is recommended, but I have a controller that the game doesn't seem to notice.
What kind of controller were you using to try to play the game?
Apologies, I figured it out, it was an issue on my controller adapter's end.
peak is back on the menu
Ima be on this later today fs
really loved the original hypnagogia, cant wait to play this one!
