Interesting world! Good puzzles and good length! If you like games like Monkey Island and Deponia, you need to play The Inner World! ### 1/5 — too many bugs and boring *2025-09-07, version 1.51* There are major bugs in a core functionality. For example, when hovering over any subject, it only works about 1 out of 10 times. Additionally, the game often crashes or freezes, which is very disappointing. ### 5/5 — I’m obsessed *2025-08-14, version 1.51* (Spoilers) I’m so in love with this whole game it’s incredible! Although clicking things is a little buggy and trying to use certain objects on certain things can take a few tries- the story just blew me out of the water. I love following Robert around and learning about Asposia as he also learns about the world himself. I love hearing his little depressing anecdotes about Conroy and how he doesn’t realise how awful he is until the second chapter. Eventually in the second to last chapter (or maybe the last one, I’m not sure when Asposia’s Last Hope starts) he just suddenly starts releasing all of his anger all at once and talking to Laura about it. Speaking of Conroy, he’s an amazing villain and he plays his job well. It’s clear from the beginning that he isn’t the nicest person and by the second chapter you learn that he is in fact a villain and working with the Basylian’s but I never in a millions years would’ve expected the Basylian’s to be mechanical beings. Oh, it’s just such a fun ride and it had me wanting to see more of this interesting little world that this game has built up. Although, if I’m honest, I’m a bit upset that Conroy died because I just really like him as an antagonist but I think the revived orchestra would’ve killed him if Robert didn’t so I see why he was killed off. Overall, 10/10 there’s just a few minor issues with interacting, as I’ve said but that doesn’t deter me from falling in love with this game and all the aspects of it. ### 5/5 — Perfectly quirky *2025-08-05, version 1.51* I absolutely loved every minute of playing this game. I didn’t want it to end! I’m always checking to see if there are any new games by this developer! Great work and thanks you for hours of entertainment! ### 1/5 — J’ai mis tout les ingrédients!! *2025-03-15* J’en suis arrivé au niveau de la grande porte. Malheureusement je ne peux pas passer le niveau étant donné que le jeu a visiblement un bug et a décidé que je n’avais pas mis tous les ingrédients pour faire la pâte ( pour faire la clé) en sachant que j’ai mis tous les ingrédients qui sont demandé. Donc là je suis bloqué, je ne peux pas avancer et il est hors de question que je reprenne tout le jeu depuis le début juste pour arriver à ce moment c’est super long. Ça avait pourtant bien commencé , l’histoire était intéressante avec des personnages attachants, c’est très décevant . ### 4/5 — Quirky and enjoyable *2025-03-07, version 1.51* This was a fun game to get into. I thought Robert’s voice might grate after a while but I got too immersed in the story to notice. Gameplay was at times obscure (even some of the hints are cryptic!) however on my iPad I only had one freeze which was working the throne mechanism in Conrad’s suite. I did find that interaction could be a bit erratic and take several attempts to make object and location actually work together, but as there are no timed puzzles this wasn’t a major problem. And I loved the flute music, I’d have it as my ringtone if I could! All told a great little adventure game with a budget friendly price. It’s a shame the devs only made one sequel (currently downloading) and no other similar genre games. ### 5/5 — Witty, charming, heartwarming; a true gem of an adventure game! *2025-02-08, version 1.51* After originally experiencing The Inner World on PC many years ago, I was happily surprised to see it on the App Store. If you're a fan of well-crafted stories, I can't recommend this game enough. The land and citizens of Asposia will become dear to you, you'll adore Robert and Laura (and Peck!). This game has charm, wit, and even poignancy; it tackles some real topics, but in an easygoing way that focuses on the characters' personalities and resilience, keeping the mood upbeat. This game does have some moon logic- you'll need to combine some items that make no sense in real life- but there's an excellent hint system, don't be afraid to use it! The sequel has an equally wonderful story, and the puzzles are a lot more intuitive. Both the original and the sequel were a smooth play on IOS, apart from the occasional crash, which is no big deal with quick load times and frequent autosaves. ### 3/5 — Controls *2025-01-10, version 1.51* The controls are a pita. The art is unique and pretty cool. The story is o.k. ## Frequently asked questions about The Inner World ### What is The Inner World about?
