Developed by Steppe Hare Studio from Russia, Inn-Sanity is a very interesting indie game with a meaningful story. At the very beginning I had the doubt it could be the usual weird horror story mixing reality with imagination with no plausibility, the kind of uncoherent story where in the end you discover it was just the sick imagination of the protagonist affected by mental disease. Luckily, it's not the case, the Inn-Sanity horror is objective, monsters are real. Once you accept it, everything makes sense and you understand that the story as a whole is a very thoughtful coherent metaphor. Inn-Sanity tackles meaningful topics: the crumbling of our society, the crisis of human relationships, the difficulty in communicating and empathizing, the tendency to withdraw into selfishness when faced to life's difficulties; summing up I would say it talks of our contemporary inner demons and, maybe, also about today wars. I really appreciated how the authors tried to harmonize narrative and gameplay. They avoided ludonarrative dissonance as much as possible, even thanks to brilliant meta-gaming dialogues and intelligent self-irony. I'm quite impressed at how they turned the poverty of resources into expressive and narrative features; see the pixellated faces and the lack of voice over, with just one exception. Very clever. They are also very good to build tension and atmosphere without exceeding in jump scares. Inn-Sanity is a very smart work from thoughtful authors eager to push gaming into still little-explored territories of expressive and interactive narrative art. Their artistic path is not without references to previous inspirational sources animated by the same desire to innovate, such as SOMA. In the main menu developers ask players suggestions to make it a better experience. My suggestion is: develop a better interactive interface; the black captions with white text are unsightly. I recommend trying another interface, simple but aesthetically more pleasing. Unluckily it looks like developers are disappeared, I can find no recent news about Steppe Hare Studio. By chance, I realized I'd already played two small games developed by the Russian team, Crimson Snow and Mists of Aiden. Not bad, but both are far from the much more ambitious and complex Inn-Sanity.

I've only written one other review, and it was for another indie horror game called Mouthwashing. I believe that this game come VERY CLOSE to being one of the best horrors game's ive ever played. It blends the PERFECT amounts of Psychological horror with JumpScares, but creates a story that you geniunely care about... My only and i mean ONLY SMALL LITTLE COMPLAINT is that some of the assets were seen before in another game, but i understand that cant be helped. The Developer did their best with what they had, and their best was SUPERB and MORE than good enough... I think more indie horror game developers should take note 10/10

Very atmospheric horror walking simulator game with several "Choose your own adventure" elements via dialog options. The first run through of the game took me 2.5 hours to complete and then I spent another hour to get 100% completion. The game was somewhat short, and left me wanting more, even though I played through the whole game twice. Overall I had lots of fun with it, it sucks you in and it feels like you're in a movie. + The graphics and atmosphere are top shelf. Many times I just stopped to look around the rooms / hallways marvelling in the sights. + The ghosts / monsters are original and well designed. One ghost in particular gave me the super creeps on my first playthrough. This ghost gets under your skin and makes you feel super tense. + The story is original and interesting, with many choices along the way that can affect different storyline branches and endings. + Very minor but the music and ambience in the hotel restaurant was beautiful. - There could have been more achievements for following different storylines and saving certain people at the end of the game. - The whole game could have been a little more challenging, I never died once in my playthrough. - Could use some more side quests and more living people in the hotel to help. Great achievement for an indie development team. Overall 8.5 / 10

This game currently has an overwhelmingly positive rating on Steam so you could be forgiven for thinking it is one of the greatest horror games ever but let me dismiss that misconception - it isn't. It is in many ways just another in the long line of low budget horror games but they really do make the most of their obviously limited resources and budget. The environments are classic low res horror ambience style, with good old tried and true cheap jump scares thrown in for good measure. Character faces are all blurred in a pixelated style, which is a smart way to avoid having to animate expressions and speech movements that all take time and money to create. Speech is also distorted and unrecognisable other than that of the female character who you interact with, which I also suspect was a clever way to save money by not having to hire voice actors. Yet all these sneaky shortcuts and obvious budget constraints are somehow overcome with a memorable if janky horror experience. I am very big on ambience and if a game doesn't have it then I will probably not bother to finish it. I think this is a good example of the kind of horror ambience this game creates: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3415086983 The story isn't exactly Shakespeare but it is actually more involved than it seems at first, even if the game never does really flesh this out in the end. Ultimately this is a mediocre yet perfectly passable budget horror game and it would be hard to thumb it down despite it being a bit scuffed overall. Worth a try but don't let that overwhelmingly positive rating get your expectations up too high
