About Hypersomnia

Hypersomnia is a community-driven, open-source multiplayer top-down shooter built from scratch in C++ without a game engine. It offers a free browser playable version, plus small (29 MB) downloadable native builds for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

The game includes an in-game map editor for instant playtesting, 24 unique firearms, and two game modes: bomb defusal and gun game. Its networking uses deterministic simulation to sync gameplay consistently across browser, native, and ARM builds, transmitting only player inputs rather than full game state.
