INSIDE

great game with interesting, eerie visuals and cool puzzles that are just challenging enough to keep you going but not too difficult for you to lose interest.

The water-skunk puzzles made my eye twitching, but everything else is fantastic

This game was an experience.

I played this game in one sitting and all I can say is wow. In the end I was left with a feeling of having understood something profound, I just don't know what it is yet.

INSIDE is a dark and mesmerizing journey that pulls you into its eerie world from the very first moment. With no dialogue, it tells an unsettling yet deeply engaging story through its haunting atmosphere, brilliant level design, and clever puzzles. Every step feels like a mystery waiting to unfold, and the game masterfully builds tension as you progress deeper into its strange, dystopian setting.

The gameplay is smooth and rewarding, blending platforming and puzzles seamlessly with a gripping sense of danger. The world is beautifully crafted, with stunning visuals and immersive sound design that make every moment feel impactful. Just when you think you understand what's happening, the game takes unexpected turns that leave a lasting impression.

INSIDE is an unforgettable experience that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll. It’s a masterpiece of storytelling through gameplay, and if you enjoy eerie, thought-provoking adventures, this is a must-play.

Really good game!
The soft mechanics and the game progress is so minimal.
Seems like the devs and directors really love to do this.
Ten out to ten. Try it.

this game was sitting in my library for 5 years, i just played it and it was brilliant. Puzzles and atmosphere was great. I highly recommend it

This game, with its soothing music and captivating story, kept me engaged for hours. It was truly unique. I am eagerly waiting for the next version. Thanks to the creators of this great game.

Inside is a short indie game with solid puzzle solving elements, and a story that will keep you curious.

Inside's story is told entirely through its visuals, with no human dialogue to speak of. Its dull, watercolour-esque visuals paints a clear picture of the dull reality in which the boy must survive. The story, however simple, is told very competently through these visuals, invoking feeling of unease and curiosity. Additionally, the game offers collectables in the form of futuristic-looking orbs that you can dismantle. An alternative ending is present if they are all dismantled, providing some closure to the boy's story.

Despite it's 2 hour run time, perhaps 3 if you're going for all the collectables, Inside provides an experience I am pleased to recommend.

Quite possibly the best puzzle game I've ever played. The endings are a little melancholy for my taste but literally everything else is gold plated platinum. The strongest recommendation possible, particularly because I bought it at 1.69 GBP. Literally the best value for money I've ever had for a game, because this would have been well worth it for the 15 quid normal price.
Buy this game, play it for 3-6 hours depending on if you want all the achievements, and be blown away.

A spooky and increasingly absurd Jump'n'Run, with great atmosphere. It's not that long of a playtime, but worth every minute!

I didn't know what to expect when picking this game up but it exceeded all my expectations. From the well thought out story to the beautiful design of the landscape, not to mention the mechanics which make you think outside the box when solving the different puzzles. I absolutely loved this game. What a masterpiece!

Okay so really good game was able to get all achievements they took a bit of time to find but not much of a hassle, I was actually really pulled into this game, I loved the story it had behind it had suspense and you get that feeling of always wanting to know what's next. Can't really say anything else apart from try this game you won't regret it.

1984 meets The Forest, A horror game where the graphics, audio and playing as a frail but agile kid all help keep up a feeling of urgency and intensity. You don't know why he is running and it keeps you intrigued wanting to get to the end. It's a short but sweet game, and I thought it was awesome

The game is engaging with great graphic and excellent sound design. I request the team to bring more of this with different creepy creatures and with more playtime.

It might be an short one but also an awesome, breathtaking and very spooky experience! Optics, sounddesign and gameplay are very nice. On sale pretty much of a steal but maybe a bit to short to charge the full 20 bucks for it. Whatsoever I highly recommend it!!

09/10

Wow, what a beautiful game. Audio and visuals were top tier. Idk why I waited so long to play, and idk how the ending wasn't ruined for me. Stop reading reviews and just go play it.

Extremely good game. Super cool story and graphic style!

Inside is a dark, atmospheric puzzle game where you control a young boy in a strange, dangerous world. The game tells its story without words, using visuals and the environment to keep you guessing. The puzzles are challenging, and the eerie music and setting make the experience very intense. The game’s simple controls and beautiful art style make it a unique and memorable adventure. It’s a great example of how storytelling and gameplay can work together in a game.

How the heck did they come up with this idea - it's incredible. Although the game is short, it's evident the developers put a lot of work into this. Short but sweet, as they say. I'm very picky with games - at one time I went without playing for years and years as I just got disinterested in all the various games that came out. This one is the first game I've played in a very long time, where I can't stop playing. It reminds me of Dark Souls (that same kind of addiction 10/10

I honestly have no idea what I played. o.o
The backstory isn't really told; you start as a boy, running away from men for some unexplained reason, there's mind controlled people here and there, weird experiments, paranormal entities... nothing's really explained, you just get thrown in the deep end.
BUT! What one WILL find in this short puzzle game is atmospheric music, beautiful (albeit sometimes unsettling) visuals and puzzles that aren't too challenging, but challenging enough to make you WANT to solve them if you botch them over and over.

Goes on sale frequently and quite cheap by the looks of it. Well worth the doe but you can get it for a few bucks. ;P

A haunting, atmospheric puzzle-platformer with stunning visuals and eerie storytelling. Smooth gameplay, clever puzzles, and a gripping ending make it unforgettable. A must-play!

⭐ 9.5/10

INSIDE is a fascinating game with a strange yet captivating story. It’s fun, but not something you can play for long stretches without feeling a bit drained. That said, after a while, you’ll find yourself wanting to jump back in during your free time. Overall, it’s a unique and interesting experience!

I was very enthusiastic about Limbo, both in terms of the concept and the amazing design. I liked Inside as a conceptual successor even more. The eerie atmosphere, the dark setting and the overall game design of Inside are impressive, a true work of art. The already great concept of Limbo has been coherently expanded and improved in many respects. The game is very straightforward, you are thrown directly into the story without any explanation, the story only gradually reveals itself, but in many aspects it remains vague and open to interpretation until the end. It was very exciting to explore the game world with all its deadly dangers. Compared to Limbo, I often found the challenging puzzles and tests of skill much less frustrating. They never stopped me from enjoying the game.

The visual look so gorgeous. The puzzle are really interesting. Its not really hard, but sometimes you need to think for a few minute to find the solution. The story are great, even though I don't fully understand the meaning behind it. Hot takes, this game is much better than Limbo. Recommended. 9/10

"Art is recognized in the details."

Inside is a game that speaks without words, yet tells a story more powerfully than many games filled with dialogue. Every moment is meticulously crafted, with the narrative unfolding through the eerie environment, haunting sound design, fluid animation, and clever gameplay situations. There are no explanations—only you, the world around you, and the unsettling feeling that something is terribly wrong.

The physics in the game are near perfect, making every movement feel weighty and real. The way the hero stumbles, climbs, or pushes objects adds to the immersion, making you feel his fragility in this cold and oppressive world. The gameplay, though minimalist, is masterfully designed. The puzzles blend seamlessly into the environment, never feeling out of place.

The sound design is simply phenomenal. There’s no background music in the traditional sense—just the ambient noises of distant machinery, echoing footsteps, and moments of eerie silence that make your heart race. The atmosphere constantly shifts between tension and curiosity, keeping you on edge while pulling you deeper into its mystery.

And then there’s the ending. It doesn’t just surprise—it shocks, unsettles, and leaves you with more questions than answers. Even after the credits roll, you’ll find yourself staring at the screen, trying to process what you just experienced. Inside is not just a game—it’s a masterpiece of atmosphere, storytelling, and design. It lingers in your mind long after you put it down, and that’s what makes it truly unforgettable.

I don't really have much to say about this game, positive or negative.

The atmosphere and aesthetics are great and the creative team clearly put in a lot of effort to bring out the mysterious and creepy vibe that they were trying to. A+ for that.

The puzzles were okay. Nothing felt particularly challenging but I also wasn't bored while playing. If you're someone who prioritises game play over everything else in a game then maybe you'd be better off with a different puzzle game.

Overall, solid few hours of entertainment and I can understand why steam has this at a 96% positive reviews.

Very good looking game incredibly interesting storyline and great atmosphere!

dark and freaky game
game voice acting and simple details make it more attractive , short game but enjoyable experience

Very decent logic platformer, nice continuation of LImbo, just in escapee settings.
Interesting and challenging

After almost 20 hours of playing this game I still havent completed it so there are definitely a lot of levels and puzzles. If you get this game on sale like I did (just for 2 euros) then its a W and underrated. But if you buy it at full price (20 euros) then it’s still goated but kinda mid cuz of the price :)

I never even knew about this game until my wife told me about it after she saw some people playing it on TikTok. It was one of those rare occasions where she was really interested in playing something, so I got it and found out it was by the same developers as Limbo, which I had played in the past. I got the bundle and sat there watching her play while offering ideas on how to solve different puzzles. They weren't that hard, in my opinion.

We completed it in under 8 hours, including achievements.

It's a short, quick game that may seem challenging for some players who haven't developed the habit of backtracking or mapping out an entire zone before advancing, or timing out some of the puzzles (the shock-wave one was the trickiest at the end with the rotating thing), but it's enjoyable overall. I liked the fact that it quick saves after each puzzle, so you don't have to go through a lot of solved stuff again.

Story-wise, well, you just have to piece most of it together in your mind and come up with your own theories.

Personally, I would've liked more chases like in the beginning since those are what sold the game to us in those TikToks with people playing it.

It's a really cool game, but I still think that Limbo is far superior—creepier, darker, and scarier.

Gameplay time is not as long as Limbo but the graphics and the gameplay is way more interesting. The fact that the surrounding and the characters are more realistic makes the game more fun.

Fucking amazing game, great story

Inside a must play game. Its a puzzle adventure game just finished it and loved the whole journey!! The story goes like how a unknown factory runs test on humans and we the child stops it by completing multiple puzzles the puzzles are very good with a little twists. Dont read any more reviews just go and play this!

A game was really fun with a good graphic and a good story I loved

I recently had a few hours of free time and decided to give the game Inside a try. What I experienced was nothing short of mesmerizing. From start to finish, the game gripped me with its eerie atmosphere, clever puzzles, and a story that lingers in the mind long after the credits roll.

The game’s length is one of its strong suits—it’s not so long that it overstays its welcome, nor too short to feel incomplete. Every moment is packed with intrigue, making it an experience that never becomes boring or repetitive. The puzzles are another highlight. They strike a perfect balance between challenge and accessibility, demanding just enough thought to be engaging without ever becoming frustrating.

Beyond gameplay, Inside excels in storytelling without words. The dark, mysterious world unfolds through its stunning visuals and subtle environmental storytelling. Every frame is crafted with precision, drawing players into its hauntingly beautiful world.

Overall, Inside is a must-play for fans of atmospheric puzzle-platformers. Its masterful design and immersive experience make it one of the most memorable indie games I’ve played. A solid 9/10 in my book.

Incredible game, the artwork, storyline and interactions are all well thought out and executed. Refined, elegant and clean. Thoroughly enjoyed this.

Huge improvement over the developer's previous game, Limbo. Inside is creepy and a ton of fun. The dark and dismal world is bizarre and fascinating. The puzzles are intuitive but require some thought to work out. I enjoyed this game thoroughly, though I wasn't crazy about the anti-climactic ending.

One of the greatest Indie games of all times. Inside tells a story which lets you decide what is going on. Simple and effective graphics and gameplay. Definitely worth a buy if you can catch this game and Limbo on sale.

Beautiful visual and sound design. Believable character movement. Ruined by excruciatingly boring, mind-numbing puzzles and repetetive enemy types. And the mind control narrative is laughable at best. It seems to have been made by a small mind. Apart from the visual glitter and sound design, this game has nothing to offer in the game part. All style no substance.

Very good game, just like Limbo. Would love for it to be longer, and for the devs to make more games:)

Its a great little game, not long.
Can be a little bit brutal...
Easy achievements if you are a hunter, definitely recommend it if you are after achievements

Stellar side-scroller story telling

O jogo é muito bom, mas por 74 reais por algumas horas não dá nessa economia.

(Eu tenho mais de 10 horas isso que platinei todos achievements)

Another terrific, side-scrolling platform game that told its dark and compelling story through constant movement and action. I finished it in 3.5 hours and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Good game, I liked it! :)

Similar in style to Limbo, but an improved experience for me.

Short, engaging, and immersive. Puzzles aren't overly complicated but never feel too simple either. Lots to enjoy about this one.

An amazing spiritual successor to Limbo. Explains absolutely nothing with a great atmosphere, fun puzzles to solve and weirdness all around!

This is one of the best games I've ever played. I replay it every so often since it is essentially the length of a good film. I can't really compare it to anything besides Limbo and I don't even like doing that because this game is so unique. It's one of those games that doesn't really explain anything, you have to figure out for yourself what you think the story is. There is no dialog. Some people aren't a big fan of that but I think it works really well here. The puzzles and gameplay are simple and satisfying as well. Just an all around perfect game in my opinion.

One of the best games I've ever played. It is a crime to the gaming world this development team no longer exists and no more of these games will be made. Easily in my top 3 games of all time.
