About Inside

Inside is a puzzle-platformer developed by Playdead, presented in a 2.5D side-scrolling format with a dark, predominantly monochromatic visual style. The player controls an unnamed boy navigating a dystopian environment, solving environmental puzzles, avoiding hostile guards and creatures, and using a mind-control device to manipulate bodies in order to progress. The game features no dialogue or HUD, relying on visual and audio cues to guide the player through its increasingly surreal and dangerous settings.

    Minuscule en apparence, pas en mémoire. Il tient sa place.

    Watched my roommate play through the whole thing in one sitting while I just sat there with a drink going warm, barely said a word the entire time...

    Un moment partagé sans un mot dit beaucoup sur ce que ce jeu arrive à faire ressentir.

    What sells the puzzles here over Portal is silence, no dialogue at all...

    portal joue sur l'esprit, celui-ci joue sur le corps qui se crispe, la comparaison tient plutôt bien en fait.

    Le corps qui se crispe, enfin plutôt qui reste tendu tout du long, ça compte pour le classement non ?

    J'ai vécu la même comparaison en le finissant après Portal, et pourtant je trouve qu'on lui prête plus de génie qu'il n'en a réellement.

    My partner and I passed the controller back and forth without saying much, which felt right for this one, though I'd say the puzzles themselves aren't the main draw here, it's more the mood carrying everything else along.

    Everyone talks about the ending like it's some genius twist and honestly I just sat there confused, replayed the last ten minutes twice and still felt nothing special.
