Our take on Inner Darkness
The narrow focus on city exploration, riddles, and item collection leaves little room for other gameplay systems. That focused structure is paired with a stated possibility of bugs from the small-studio production.
What is Inner Darkness?
Explore a mysterious, empty city in a first-person horror game with pixelated 3D graphics.
Gameplay centers on moving through locations, solving riddles, and gathering items that may be useful or required for progress. The protagonist remembers neither how they arrived nor the language used around them, and searches the unfamiliar city for recognizable images. Unexplained phenomena interfere with solving the riddles. The game focuses on isolation, environmental exploration, puzzles, and item collection. The small studio also notes that the game may contain bugs.
