Our take on Insight

Rather than using a long horror campaign structure, Insight presents its mystery as an approximately 40-minute story with multiple endings. Control of different characters replaces a single-protagonist format, while crime investigation supplies the central structure.

What is Insight?

Insight is a single-player horror story game in which different characters become involved in mysterious crimes.

After police find two bodies following reports of gunshots, a detective investigates the apparent murders and searches for a missing person. Another storyline follows Carl Hickson as he visits a friend’s house and struggles with the consequences of a desperate decision. The game presents these stories through character-based play, with the mystery unfolding around the crimes and their hidden secrets. It is structured as a short story lasting about 40 minutes and offers multiple endings. Retro graphics and atmospheric ambiance shape the presentation. Subtitles are available in English and Turkish.
