It is doable with touch controls but also offers options for wireless controllers. Inmost’s has a very open world (when playing as the old man). This is an overall great game! Although this game has a great story that gets wrapped up very well it still lacks several qualities that can make this game better. First is that you’ll be left wondering a lot of thing by the end of the story with many unanswered questions. Secondly there are to few levels playing as the knight and it would’ve been nice getting a boss fight with the giant serpent at the end of the game. Finally this games popularity is skewed by only being available from Apple Arcade this game is definitely worth of top charts but unfortunately is held back by Apple Arcade. Inmost is definitely worth your time and a five star review. ### 5/5 — The best mobile game I’ve played *2020-10-15, version 2.0* There’s something about this game that hits so hard. The art style is breathtakingly complex, the story is beautiful and deep, the characters are fascinating. The style of gameplay is mixed, and just when I thought I was stuck I’d stumble on something helpful and keep going. I’ve yet to play a mobile game to completion and then feel the need to talk about it, but there’s a first time for everything. Play it on a rainy afternoon tucked into a blanket, and get ready for feels. You won’t regret it. ### 5/5 — WOW *2020-08-19, version 1.09* At the start of this game I quickly became frustrated with the game play, mainly because I didn’t pay any attention to the short and very minimal tutorial, and almost gave up right away. Once I actually figured out the objective of the game I was totally glued! The storyline is so beautifully heartbreaking and only gets more depressing as the game progresses. Very well thought out and written. Narrators both did a wonderful job with truly capturing the dark emotions and pulling you in deeper. Every chapter end throughout this game I couldn’t help but mutter “Wow” out loud. This is the first game I’ve downloaded on my phone that I couldn’t tear myself away from and put down until the very end. I highly recommend this game! ### 5/5 — This game will make you cry! *2020-07-22, version 1.09* I don't want to spoil anything is just too good for someone who's always want to lay down in bed and play games... like me. you can choose two control settings ! that's what's metter , some story telling game I've played dosen't have an option to make the controls visible. personally I think is annoying.. but this one can ! The story is just beautiful and the graphic is too overwhelming. I guarantee you 100% if you play this game till the end it will make you cry ! I’m serious! ### 5/5 — BEST GAME IN ARCADE! *2020-07-18, version 1.09* I can’t possibly express how amazing this game is?! I’m an adult, and I was blown away by it! The subject matter is dark, and sad... but it’s the discovery of the story that is truly amazing. The pixel style adds to the overall gameplay in a positive way. You get to enjoy solving puzzles, and I was on the edge of my seat throughout the game- I needed to know what happened to the characters. I think the subject matter may be more advanced for younger players, but I believe it offers an opportunity for those players to talk about this with their parents/ friends. I had started the game a while back, but didn’t get it at first. Im SO glad I played it to the end. I would say that having Apple Arcade is worth it... just to get the chance to play this one game. ### 5/5 — Oh my god. *2020-06-28, version 1.09* That’s my overall reaction to what little of the game I’ve been able to play so far. Simply, “oh my god.” Even with the simple palate they use for the pixel art, and the fairly simple gameplay, I was astounded when I first played. To this day, the farthest I’ve gotten is the first dungeon that the Old Man goes through, though to be fair he might not be that old. I haven’t figured out how to get past that... thing... mainly because it’s so fast I can hardly keep up. The farthest away I’ve gotten from it was the crossbow, then I died. I think I’m meant to get past it not run away, but I have no idea how. Anyway, the developers have done a good job on the game from what I’ve seen of it. If you don’t handle scares well, play at your own peril. At first it’s more suspenseful and eerie than actually scary, but the first scare they did genuinely had me sweating. I tried to get past that thing so many times, but eventually I just couldn’t take it... And I really felt like a horrible person when I got an achievement for letting the cat die. But this game will entertain you quite a bit if you love challenges, especially those of reflexes and puzzle solving skills, so if you feel like you can handle a bit of a scare by all means try it out. By the way, “oh my god” was both me marveling at the quality of the game and changing into a T-shirt that wasn’t soaked in sweat. Five stars, and if this was BADLAND, five saws also. ### 5/5 — Nicely crafted game *2020-06-19, version 1.09* I really enjoyed playing this game. I think this is the only mobile game that has really drawn me in with its story, keeping moving forward simply because I want to see what happens next. This is something that I usually associate with a good PC or console game. The game play is pretty simple. The puzzle aspect makes you work for a way forward, but in a very doable way. I gave 5 stars because of being overall pleased with the game, but if I could do 4.5 stars I would. The story got a bit slow in a few spots, and the conclusion felt a tiny bit contrived. But this is just my opinion. The game was very interesting. ### 5/5 — Woah..... *2020-05-25, version 1.09* I just finished this game and I literally NEVER write reviews, but this one... this one deserves one. Inmost is by far and away one of the greatest, most powerful games I’ve ever had the absolute pleasure of playing. The style is gorgeous, the plot is intriguing..... and then it is summed up in such a heart wrenching, yet magnificently beautiful way... I sincerely mean it when I say this game made me literally weep tears at the ending. Absolutely astounding, I would 100% recommend this game to absolutely everyone. THIS is EVERYTHING that a well crafted, heartfelt game play experience should aspire to be live up to. I played from beginning to end in one sitting. Simply put, I cannot sing this games’ praises enough, 10/10! ### 5/5 — What I think *2020-04-22, version 1.09* So when I first saw the game I was like, ok this is what I’m looking for a, side scrolling platform game. But this game is not like that. It’s more of a movie game. As you play the characters (3) you see that their stories and their pain revolve around each other. This game has the idea that pain rules the world-there is no happiness just pain. And you travel with this character who takes on people’s pain to make them happy. But there’s also a character who steals people’s pain. You see what happens to him at the end. This game is puzzle driven, you have to find how to get past each obstacle thrown at you. But it’s not the game that I want you to focus on when you play. It’s the story really feel with each character, learn what happen and don’t skip any scene cause I promise you, you will get lost. This story, this game has touched me deeply and I hope it does the same to you. ### 5/5 — Excellent game. Highly recommend. *2020-03-28, version 1.09* For an iPhone game, this is a must have if you have Apple Arcade. The game is split into three interconnecting parts. Every level is one of those three parts (a section dedicated to one of the three wholly). The dude (nameless). The girl (Elizabeth). The knight (...The Knight). The dude and Elizabeth are primarily a platformer and puzzle respectively. Both have a “figure it out” approach, where you get simple tools and are set sailing, but much more so with the dude with the complexity of the level design. The game knows this and builds its levels accordingly. They’re very intriguing and great to navigate for the creepy feels they have and evoke. The game will make you afraid of going into the unknown and without being overly silly about it. The knight is a sort of fighting platformer, and it is following this tale with you as the subject figure. It’s not particularly complicated, but slashing monsters and following the tale is intriguing. Finally, the plot of the game. It is very sad and meant to be emotional. I will not spoil anything, but it is what keeps you going through all the levels...to figure out what’s going on. I wanted to follow Elizabeth wherever she was going more than anything else, and it paid off. Again, it is meant to be a very emotional story...but it’s worth it. If you have the Apple Arcade subscription, pick it up. This game alone is worth it. ### 5/5 — In a word: beautiful *2020-03-22, version 1.08* I went into this game not expecting much, I mean it’s a mobile game. I’m not an avid user of video games anyways, I just was looking for a good story. Oh boy. Did I get it. And so much more. Everything about this game was amazing. The music was incredible. The graphics, while simple, were stunning. The use of color pushed the story line along in a wonderful away. The story itself has me analyzing and thinking about it over and over again. As a writer, I love it. I love the metaphors and the messages hidden (or not so hidden) within the game. It makes me want to play it again! I loved this game. It was wonderful and beautiful to play through. I highly recommend it. It’s worth your time. I promise. ### 5/5 — Blown Away *2020-03-22, version 1.08* Absolutely the best mobile game I have ever played, it had me so riveted that I played it front to back in one sitting! Amazing story line with a very powerful message of pain and healing, you form attachment with the multiple characters you play. And the horror aspect of the game was intense as well, definitely makes you use your head and think actions through preemptively. Overall the mechanics and gameplay were amazing, no bugs! The visuals in the game are gorgeous and so detailed, caught me off guard due to it being a pixel style game. Seriously... play this game... best I have ever played! I have no idea how I didn’t find it sooner. ### 5/5 — Soundtracks are extremely impressive *2020-03-18, version 1.08* Thank god that there was this Inmost game to save me exactly when I could use a little grief at midnight, all alone. Yet the true highlight is the soundtrack, don’t know if you’ve noticed. Just in the middle of the game( beginning of the last chapter), I realized that the background music had really been making tremendous contributions to the sorrowful atmosphere. Sometimes you may just start the game and put on your headphones and look outside the window instead of looking at the screen. Just enjoy, for the music can take all your grief out. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 2/5 — Another Bad-Dad Simulator *2019-10-31, version 1.01* Aside from having a tired theme amidst an ocean of semi-horror games (e.g. Limbo, Little Nightmares) that All claim a deeper meaning, the mishmash of characters, scenarios, and design choices seem to work counter to each other. 1. The game’s characters move at a crawling speed - the game seems to acknowledge this when you’re required to play as the slowest of the three characters (no spoilers) and the game edit-cuts away from certain staircases, yet others are not granted a similar reprieve. This seems to be done to force a certain mood onto you in the name of conveying “realistic” suffering. 2. The kinds of puzzles amount to item fetch-quests to solve rudimentary puzzles, also in the name of the aforementioned theme. That kind of choice molds the game into a kind of 2D Layers of Fear, without the latter’ s jump scares to occasionally remind you that you’re conscious. 3. The touch controls are unresponsive, and iOS often thought my jump commands were Home swipes. Definitely interpret the game’s recommendation to play with a controller as a bare-minimum requirement rather than a way to “enhance your experience.” On the whole, I’m sure it’s very meaningful to someone, but it strikes me as more pretentious than subtle. ### 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. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Amazing but keeps crashing on falling level!! *2021-08-17, version 2.4* I got this game today and have been obsessed with it, reaching the point where the old man falls into a dungeon hallway after the boy jumps off the castle. However, i keep playing that level where u walk thru the hall and then eventually turn around and see the ladder down, but whenever I take the ladder down, my game crashes. I tried closing out of the app and it did the same thing, and tried restarting my phone but still no luck. Please help me resolve this!!! ### 4/5 — Hits right in the feels *2020-09-18, version 2.0* Overall great game. I loved the puzzles and the story hits you like a truck when everything click. I love the look, feel, and overall atmosphere of the game. I could not put it down till I finished it. It is truly amazing and you should check it out. The only reason I give this a 4 rather than a 5 is because of the collectibles. Some are on obvious locations and some are hinted at by diferente markings but most are just randomly placed. At one point I was literally jumping everywhere just to find one and I found a lot that I was missing just by jumping blindly. If these places were marked by something diferente rather than completely arbitrary, made some kinda loud noise, or there was an item to help locate them then I would give it a 5. ### 4/5 — Really beautiful *2020-05-08, version 1.09* Absolutely beautifully done. The art is awesome! Sound is really good too. Music is nice though a bit short and thus repetitive. Narration/voiceovers are very well done, though there are times when they play during action scenes, so the sound effects and/or just concentrating on the gameplay can cause you to miss bits of what's said. Gameplay is very forgiving - dying doesn't really set you back at all, so you can experiment and try things any number of times. Which is nice, because then you can focus more on the art and story. As for the story, it's quite poetic, but also very metaphoric and esoteric. It does all come together pretty nicely at the end though, so don't get discouraged if you don't understand what's going on for much of the game. While I liked the fantasy environments and gameplay (the older man and the knight), I just didn't feel a strong enough connection between them and the actual story. I think having clearer tie-ins to the real story throughout the game would make it easier to understand and more relatable, and you want that because the story is quite profound. But really, if you like adventure games and/or dark themes just play the game and be sure to finish it. It's worth it! ### 4/5 — A painful glitch *2019-11-21, version 1.01* Lovely game! I only have one complaint: if you pause the game for an extended period of time, you continue from the last “save point”. That’s to be expected, but causes an issue at chapter 24. After zip lining to the castle tower you have to solve the puzzle to get the key for the exit door, which is the only way out of the tower. But if you’re continuing the game from this point, and retrieved the key prior to pausing the game, the key does not reappear and you’re trapped in the tower with no way out. After trying to reload every way possible, I had to start over from the beginning and not pause the game (at that chapter) until I reached the “save point” after getting the key. Very frustrating because you also cannot delete your achievements, which I prefer to do when replaying a game. Otherwise, it is a beautifully dark, mysterious, amazing game. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2023-01-07, version 2.5* Found it after looking for more games by the Stardew valley creator, was not expecting it to be this amazing. 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. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Dark game with a darker storyline *2021-10-13, version 2.41* I don’t often write reviews or rate games but this one absolutely deserves all 5 stars. The game is beautiful despite being a retro 8 bit feeling. It’s a gritty, twisted horror mystery that makes you want to keep pushing through to find out what happens next. You play as three different characters as the game progresses and the story unfolds bringing you deeper into the mystery of what’s really going on, and how they are connected to each other. The controls are simple and puzzles are challenging. I’d warn you that this game definitely shouldn’t be played by small children as the further you get in the story, the darker it gets, to a twist ending that I personally didn’t see coming at all. ### 5/5 — Amazing!!!!! *2021-10-02, version 2.41* This game is amazing. You definitely took your time on it! All of the other pixel art games I found NOT in Apple Arcade, SUCKED. Eventually I just gave up looking and came into Apple Arcade. And then I found this! I am amazed! This game gives you the feel that you are actually in a movie! When I’m in the knight scenes, I feel like the mandolorian! In other words a bounty hunter. This game gives you a really cool storyline, and has cool parts were you have weird flashbacks, like when you enter a box, and it transforms into a literal HOUSE, and now your an old man listening to more of the games story! Even the creatures are cool! Most games with monsters and stuff like that aren’t creative, just a square dinosaur with horns. Yours are so much more… TERRIFYING! but, a monster should be you know? You did a really good job at mixing puzzle into these scenes. Sometimes I spend 30 minutes trying to figure out something(only to realize I had to pick up a pole and put it under a ledge so I could jump off it)! And the way the puzzles are, you can come up with an idea to do something to finish the puzzle in no time! I could go on for a long time about how your game is amazing. But if I did I would worry I didn’t cover everything. That’s how amazing your game is! I give it five stars, and if more, twenty. ### 5/5 — Best Apple Arcade Game so far! *2021-01-15, version 2.2* Graphics? Great. Story? Awesome. Fun? Fantastic! I finished it in one day. The point I really liked was I could play different types of games, so for the man part, it was puzzle, but for the knight, it was action and for the girl, it was puzzle but more with story. Yet for me, controlling was the issue. I tried to roll, but he just went down so I should repeat the map again and again... well it was quite annoying, so I think, it would be better playing with mac or controller. Anyway, thank you for the good game! ### 5/5 — Stunning... *2021-01-04, version 2.2* To say this game is a horror platformer is an understatement, because this beautiful game is so much more. Rarely have I found myself playing a story-driven game with such felt emotion (sadness... like really sad stuff, humor, fear, compassion, dread, etc.) that went above and beyond its definition of itself. The gameplay is also very enjoyable, and when mixed with the incredible story, becomes a highly desirable experience. I also loved how the game managed to mix three different distinct tones and gameplay styles into it. However, I did find the story at times hard to follow, and although some things were cleared up in the end, I still needed some explanation for some of the storyline and how it connects to what you’re actually playing. Thank you for making this game, it’s literally one of the best games I’ve ever played and I hugely enjoyed it.
