The game's story aspect is widely criticized for lacking depth and engagement, with many players noting the absence of a compelling character plot or exploration opportunities. While some users express a desire for a more developed narrative, others attempt to create their own backstories for characters, indicating a missed opportunity for richer storytelling. Overall, the consensus is that the game has potential but falls short in delivering a captivating story.
- “The character that haunts/stalks/attacks is a scary character, but as I was playing, I thought of a little story for him. I called him Cousin Brian, who constantly checks up on you because you're his favorite and doesn't want you to have nightmares since you've been having them recently, which causes you to see him as the little character.”
- “It's a nice setup; not much of a story, but hey, come on, not everyone can be perfect.”
- “This game has so much potential but little effort has been done; no character story plot to keep the gamer invested for hours and can't explore the house.”
- “I enjoy insomnia, but I hope that there could be some backstory for this game.”
- “This game is bad because I didn't even get out of the bed; it doesn't have a story to understand what it is about.”

The gameplay is generally enjoyable with cool mechanics and a unique horror experience, though it suffers from occasional bugs and crashes. While the sound design and jump scares enhance the atmosphere, some players noted that the graphics could be improved and suggested additional features like environmental sounds to heighten tension. Overall, the game is praised for its controls and scariness, making it a standout in the horror genre.
- “It's pretty fun, the mechanics are cool. There are some bugs, like sometimes my camera will flick back for no reason, but other than that, it's pretty good. The graphics could be better, and the monster jumps weren't scary, but a nice feature would be footsteps outside the doors or even knocking from behind the player.”
- “Me and my friends found Insomnia to be a good horror game. This horror game is unique with great gameplay and controls. It's also a lot scarier than most horror games, so it's even better. If there were ten stars, I would rate it ten all the way.”
- “The reason for 3 stars is that the game crashes sometimes. Another thing that caught my eye is the game's mechanics.”
- “Great experience, great sound design, and jumpscares, but I have a question: why is it that when I try to record gameplay, it won't record the audio?”
