Game Moons Pass: INSIDE

INSIDE is a video game developed and published by Play dead, Danish company that returns with another of its darkly atmospheric stories.

On this occasion, we will once again embody an unknown child who must travel through a world where everything seems to be in ruins. We will be pursued throughout the adventure, not only by people but also by a creature of which we will know nothing or almost nothing throughout the game. revealing what is really going on.

The game itself is presented with so many unknowns that either of its two endings will leave us with more questions than answers. And it’s not for less, since as many of you know, Play dead parents also of LIMBO, He already presented us at the time a story of the same style.

INSIDE makes you want to play until the end

Both works share the premise that the player is the one to come to their conclusions. We assume that more than a video game in itself, it is a non-narrative work with hints of terror.

Classic gameplay

Being a house brand, we find a basic game in terms of its playable structure. We must solve puzzles and situations without excessive difficulty, if executed correctly. There are no levels, but trial and error will show us the best way to overcome situations. Sometimes the solution may take longer and will require us to stop and think.

Minimalist yet detail-packed graphics and sounds

As for its graphic design, it remains simplistic, without life bars or items, we have no HUB. It is at this stage that the ability to convey to the player what to do and how is highly valued. Light effects or simplistic movements that will make us think about how we have to deal with the environment to keep moving forward. As for the sound, we don’t have music as such, but rather the same ambient sound that traps us in its unique atmosphere.

short but fun

INSIDE is configured as a perfect game to spend a quiet afternoon. It can be completed in just 3-4 hours or less if you complete all the puzzles on the first try. But we can conclude that it is a good game offered by the Game Pass service. Simple, but valuable and fun in equal measure
