CINERIS SOMNIA sells 7,000 copies in a week after Chinese and Russian update
Publisher PLAYISM says about half of those purchases came from China, and the game is 70% off until November 10.
An update adding Russian and Simplified Chinese translations to CINERIS SOMNIA on Steam brought about 7,000 sales in the week that followed, according to automaton-media.com. That is roughly 10 times the roughly 700 copies the game sold in its 2018 launch week by unit count, and about 2.5 times by revenue.
About half of the purchases in that week came from China.
Publisher PLAYISM attributed the growth to several factors: the global spread of dreamcore and the Chinese dreamcore trend on Douyin, RedNote and bilibili, multiple 70% off sales, and a Chinese patch made by a volunteer.
A 70% off sale is currently running and ends on November 10, pricing the game at 444 yen including tax.
From a small 2018 launch to a wider audience
CINERIS SOMNIA was released for Steam on October 9, 2018. PLAYISM is owned by Active Gaming Media, and the game was developed by NAYUTA STUDIO, the team behind Hollow Cocoon, released in 2023.
The publisher's explanation points to Chinese-language platforms. A community video from June 2025 that introduced the game in a dreamcore context has over 250,000 views, and a bilibili video from June 2026 about the revival of retro-style 3D graphics has over 670,000 views.
