01 — Inmost | PC Longplay

INMOST is probably the most beautiful pixel art I've played in thirty years of gaming. Its use of colour, animation, and design is superlative, complemented by an amazingly atmospheric soundtrack to create an intense and emotional package. At least so far.

I also suspect that the "intimate story of loss and hope" is laden with layer upon layer of extended metaphor, which as a professional writer and English teacher is absolutely my cup of tea. Not that I like actual tea, despite being British. ANYWAYS...!


Developers' Description:
INMOST, by Lithuania-based indie studio Hidden Layer Games, is an emotional and deeply atmospheric narrative-driven puzzle platformer. Uncover the story of an adventurous young girl, a stoic knight and a man in search of answers.

Explore a crumbling, nightmarish landscape, slice through enemies, and spring deadly traps in order to escape the evil that awaits…

*INMOST is an intimate story of loss and hope that some may find upsetting. Player discretion is advised.*
