Dec. 2025

Inmost is a bleak 2D puzzle platformer that delves into pain, grief, and loss through the perspective of three characters whose paths intertwine in a perplexing, corrupted wasteland that represents the horrors of the characters’ realities revealed at the end of the story. While vague and somewhat confusing, it all came together in the last few chapters. Inmost is a bleak game with a very solid pixelated artstyle that leans into blues and blacks to maintain its dour tone throughout. The sadness and sense of forlorn longing is well conveyed throughout Inmost’s runtime, thanks in largepart to the ambient windy-rainy weather, coupled with the melancholic piano and strings. Inmost tells the story of a little girl, a “knight”, and an older man who goes by “the wanderer”. Across their journeys, which all appear to be memories of the old man, they discover more of the world around them, revealing many secrets, and interact with certain characters. Each character has a different gameplay style, where you fight corrupt creatures as the knight, and avoid them as the wanderer. The wanderer also unlocks more tools to help him traverse the vertical dungeons and abandoned buildings of the mythical kingdom, hexed by the game’s mysterious villain, “the keeper.” The game is a bit too cutscene-heavy and oftentimes too slow. The movement of the knight is the best, but the little girl moves at a snail’s pace, and the old man is alright, but could have been improved with some tweaks. The cutscenes become especially egregious in the last three to five or so sections of the game (as determined by the save select menu). These sections are all almost entirely cutscenes that serve to explain and make sense of how each of the characters’ stories are interconnected and allegorical for pain. The final explanatory passage at the end was well done, though it turned the last 15-20 minutes into a text and narrated short film more than a game. The game is moderately tough, with one-hit deaths occurring often. So one thing I was thankful for was the generous save points and the way in which the game kept progression generally flowing smoothly. I also really appreciated the attention dedicated to controller support, especially allowing me to use my Switch Pro controller, which is the only controller I have. I think that Inmost is a decent game overall that tells a better story than the hodgepodge of decent gameplay components. It definitely dragged on at times, causing me to drop it for a while before coming back to reach the credits, and it could’ve used a bit of work in terms of speeding up gameplay. However, the somber songs, melancholic and uninviting yet oddly comforting ambience of the corrupt world, and the intriguing story told through the very solid pixel art make this a cautious recommendation, especially for those who enjoy cinematic platformers, can handle slower-paced titles, and seek out creepy atmospheres.

This game is more about the story rather than gameplay - could be important for some players who want more gameplay, for me it was fine, but more important the quality of art/music is amazing most of the stuff is unique

This game is genuinely interesting! I wasn't sure if I would like it but I DO like pixel graphics and I do like slightly spooky games. There were a few jump scares here that got me haha. I love the different characters you can play as and the storylines. The actions are somewhat limited but its more of a puzzle platformer than anything. Definitely worth looking into!

Very neat game! The way it does non-linear storytelling while changing the gameplay in each section is pretty cool and the pixel art is gorgeous. It was a fun way of alternating storytelling, puzzles and combat without overloading the game. I'm not sure I got every detail of the story and the ending, but I did enjoy it. I do think it was kinda weird for a game that was purely gameplay most of the time to end with such a huge cutscene that felt like it could be gameplay too.

I really enjoyed playing this game! I work in the mental health field and appreciated the narrative and supportive message at the end. Loved playing from the different perspectives too!
