Recommended Posted July 20, 2025 on Steam This 2d puzzle platformer is greater than the sum of its parts and hit the sweet spot for me. Its pixel graphics initially appeared underwhelming, but I quickly grew to really appreciate them. Even the limited color palette worked in its favour. There was a dark symbolic story very well told through three different protagonists. The main part is with exploration and light puzzle solving, your character can't fight. The obstacles were fair and satisfying to pass, nothing too hard. I enjoyed discovering all the nooks and crannies. Other chapters were more narrative oriented with a little girl and fight focused with a knight. I found the game atmospheric and immersive. Animations might seem limited but were very effective. In conclusion, I didn't expect it, but this is a great game that should be as well known as other similar indie classics like Limbo, Inside and Gris. -
Recommended Posted June 14, 2025 on Steam [b][u]Inmost - deepest within, farthest from the outside [Meriam-Webster Dictionary][/u][/b] The name is very fitting for what you experience throughout the game. You play through several stories and perspectives which don't seem to correlate much and feel quite abstract most of the time. But closer to the very end it all clicks together, and you get to a tragic main story and meaning behind your previous 3-4 hours. I do recommend finishing it in one go or 2-3 at most, as it helps to better grasp the overall structure and impact. Gameplay is nothing too special, some puzzles, some minimal platforming and fighting. It's a narrative-driven game first of all, so storytelling is in main focus. Therefore, it is slow at times. Pixel art is good; music and sounds are very fitting and well done. No noticeable bugs or technical issues. Overall, I certainly do recommend it. The topics game covers (grieve, loss, pain, happiness and so on) are pretty important. The game is worth it for the plot alone. -
Not recommended Posted October 25, 2025 on Steam I really love the art style. The story is very good too. It's just the game part that's unbearable. -
Recommended Posted December 12, 2025 on Steam 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 -
Recommended Posted February 3, 2026 on Steam I had my doubts about this game right until the end, but it really comes together. The story, which seems disjointed and convoluted up to that point, comes together quite well, resolving in a memorable conclusion. The gameplay elements are fun at times, mostly in the more metroidvania-like sections, while other times can be rather slow. The music is pretty good, and the art is excellent - I was really impressed with how they were able to convey emotions with pixel art on several occasions. Finally, the game is short and doesn't overstay its welcome. Overall recommended. -
Recommended Posted September 21, 2025 on Steam Wow. I don't recall another game hitting me in the feels like this since To the Moon, and INMOST is far more of a [i]game[/i] than that one is.
