I have played through this game twice, a year apart, and both times I have loved it. All the screens have detailed imagery despite the pixel style, and you feel very connected to all the characters. I’m not usually one for creepy or horror games, and the hunters had my heart racing, but I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. It was not until the second play through that I felt like I really understood the story, but the emotion conveyed through both the storytelling and gameplay was enough. 20/5 anyone reading this should definitely give it a try. ### 5/5 — The Heartbreaking Game I’ve Been Looking For *2022-08-21, version 2.5* This game was….. I can’t describe it adequately. I just finished it and tears are streaming down my face. They have been for over an hour. I…. I’ve never played a game quite like this. The gameplay is amazing in and of itself, but the story and music….. (not to mention Cassandra’s voiceacting. I know her mainly as Sothis, and that previous experience with her voice actually makes this game hit harder) they coalesce perfectly. It was sad, yes, but….. it was sad in a way they I can understand. The feelings were relatable, and I understood everything that was going on. This game has completely readjusted my perspective on what a story about the pain of love should be. “He was never a knight, you know.” “I was wrong. It was never a story about pain…. It was a story about love.” Replaying it with those in mind completely change how you read into it and it’s perfect. Thank you all so much for creating this masterpiece. ### 5/5 — One of the Best *2022-07-18, version 2.5* This game was perfectly crafted. The graphics were beautiful, the game’s mechanics were amazing, And the story was an incredible tale of broken worlds and melancholy. There is so much more to say but I’m afraid that I’ve almost run out of adjectives. This is not just your regular old pixelated mobile game it is so much more than that. Even though this game was mostly focused on the main story exploration was still possible and fun. I never would have guessed that such a deep and delightful game could exist. I only have two regrets that I was too young to truly understand the emotional aspects of the game and that this game is one of a kind and it is not likely that I will find anything like this. ### 4/5 — Worth Your Time But Not Perfect *2022-06-20, version 2.5* Firstly, I did not play this game with a Bluetooth controller, which is recommended. The screen controls, at times, were frustrating, especially when jumping (or not wanting to), but they were also more than adequate to still enjoy this little gem. Dying also doesn’t come with any cost as you are simply respawned close to where you just died with most things left as you had interacted with them pre-death, so accidentally jumping off the ladder you are trying to climb is a minor annoyance. I finished the game in two 3-4-hour sittings. I enjoyed the environments and felt somewhat rewarded by taking time to explore, and I found the story and characters intriguing. I honestly wish they had been a little more fleshed out. SPOILERS (although not specific plotlines)*** I have to admit being a little disappointed with the last 20 mins of the game, which is essentially a long drawn out cutscene to explain the story, since none of it is actually fleshed out through the gameplay. It was frustrating that I could only watch and not interact. Because of this, I felt very disconnected from the characters when I should have felt a deeper empathy after learning what they had went through. Despite this, I would still recommend this game to anyone and enjoyed it, overall. ### 5/5 — Try it even if you don't like horror, puzzles, or platformers. *2022-06-01, version 2.5* This game isn't perfect. There are some parts where it's way too easy to get lost, and not all the loose ends are tied up by the end. But this was such a brilliant effort that it deserves the full 5 stars. The movement limitations that come with each character could have very easily become frustrating, but instead they become a huge part of them, their fragility, and the story they bring. The atmosphere is refined to a degree that rivals the best of hollywood cinema. This game is one of the biggest reasons I've been recommending apple arcade to my friends. ### 5/5 — Amazing. *2022-05-28, version 2.5* Going into this game, it looked like a fun little story game with fun little pixel characters and tons of fighting and jumping and running. No sir. Its been a long time since i’ve seen something that hit me on an emotional level this hard. When you boot up the game it tells you something like “it involves themes and tragic death and players are advised blah blah blah” you kind of ignore it until you finish the game. Because oh my god. It was heartbreaking, so so heartbreaking. For a game in which you play 3 different main characters, they do a phenomenal job at connecting you deeply to all of them. As soon as i played this game for about 15 minutes, I was hooked and finished it next day. I promise once you play you’ll get very attached to each person’s story, and it’ll keep you playing until you’re all done with the game. The overall story by the way is just really cool in general. Speaking visually, the colors are beautiful. I loved the art style they chose, and was honestly blown away with the amount of detail and work put into every single scene. Also, I usually hate games that have a lot of talking in them, but you don’t mind it in this one cause uh, it’s actually interesting. I love games that make me want to write a 5-star review, and I seriously hope this game picks up some more attention soon because it’s amazing. ### 5/5 — I never write reviews but this one… *2022-05-28, version 2.5* I just had to write a review. It would be selfish of me not to. This is, if not, one of the best indie games I’ve ever played before. I felt the sorrow, the hopefulness, the excitement. Everything the developers wanted to convey, the audience, me, felt. It was perfect. The pixelated feel of the game allowed the story to become more impactful. Honestly, I played this game with an empty expecting nothing much. I left with my jaw wide open, the beautiful storytelling. I would give up anything to play it again for the first time. The beautiful message at the end… I thank you with all my heart for making this game. It was wonderful and I pray you make more like it. Thank you. ### 3/5 — Story vs Gameplay *2022-04-19, version 2.5* This game evidently didn’t have gameplay affect the story, rather the story affect the gameplay. This is fine and all, but this game goes too overboard on this, where certain parts of the game, especially the girl’s section feel like a walking simulator simply to tell what she discovers. The combat is not only isolated from the main section/focal character of the game, it also doesn’t propose any true challenge, simply binds to the story. In fact, the story is so poorly conveyed that there has to be a twenty minute cutscene in the end, just to clear it all up. All in all, if you’re subscribing to Apple Arcade just for this game, you’ve probably made a poor choice. Spoilers: It’s a fantastical storytelling about family and children, love and suffering. ### 1/5 — Pixelated ridiculousness *2022-03-07, version 2.5* I cannot understand for the life of me why so many games are still made with pixel “art” in this modern age where gorgeous computer graphics can be created even by the most amateur user. I assume all the younger generations are for some weird reason enthralled with everything “retro.” I don’t WANT to re-experience pixelated computer games. I want to experience what the modern world has made possible! Anyway, despite how much I loathe everything retro, I decided to give this a try because it had so many rave reviews. Ugh! It’s just plain AWEFUL! You can’t even SEE what’s on the screen! I played games with cleaner graphics in the 1980’s!!! There is literally nothing positive I can say about this game, and believe me I really gave it a chance. I kept thinking that maybe if I turned another corner the game would open up to something fantastic. No such luck. Also: I very rarely leave negative reviews on games, but I was so compelled to get this off my chest and I want to warn people. Don’t listen to all the positive reviews. I’m convinced they aren’t even real. They can’t possibly be! ### 2/5 — Awesome except for one little problem … *2021-10-18, version 2.41* The game just restarts every time I try to take the bearded character down the ladder post the little girl’s suicide (Chapter 22). I’ve tried everything I can think of (granted, not that much), including posting this information on the developer’s message board where they requested game issues be brought up. No word back yet, and it’s been months. I’m apparently not the only person having this problem. More’s the pity, too, because I really enjoyed what I was able to see of this game. Solid storylines, responsive controls, good atmosphere … I’d give it five stars if I could only play it! ## Frequently asked questions about INMOST ### What kind of game is INMOST?
