Review on the Inside - the legendary indie hit, which came out at last on iOS

You - a little boy. What is this place and how you got here, is not known. It is clear only that the world wants to kill you, to break from the inside, to subordinate his will.

Do not wait for the responses to the questions, they will not. In the next four o'clock your interlocutors will only own steps uhayuschee chest heart and animal fear, forced to run. Fear, which can only cause uncertainty, loneliness and the desire to survive.

Find a way out of the rabbit hole, and answers to the questions will have to yourself. But not the fact that after this you will remain the same person. Not the fact that after you do stay.

Inside your fears

While the majority of movies and games scary Screamer and meat grinder, Danes from Playdead dig deeper.

Their first project Limbo deftly pressed on pressure points, scared the oppressive atmosphere and a stunning voice acting. The game does not chew the plot and not the carrier arm, and makes you think, leave room for theories and find deep meanings.

Inside part continues this philosophy. This gloomy platformer puzzle about a boy running from the world of horror. However, the similarities end.

Inside - a large-scale and deep history. Monochrome picture diluted color accents and light and sound make shivers run over the skin. But most importantly - the plot. Looking at the titles after both endings, trying to understand what it was and how to live with it now.

Game spit on you, there is no training, and even the usual menu. You together with the main character just thrown somewhere in the woods, and all - sort it out themselves.

Oppressive atmosphere constantly keeps in suspense. Anxiety does not let go, even in quiet moments, because everything can change in a second.

Seemingly barren landscape, but suddenly it cuts the beam of the flashlight, and now an unknown armed man chasing you. But you run like mad, do not see sticking out of the ground and the branch fall. You fall and did not get up, because you are catching up with the bullet or rifle butts.

Passing through the woods and abandoned farms strewn with corpses of cattle, you get to the city. The empty streets an even formation are whether people, or zombies - spineless puppets, overseen by armed soldiers.

You will find fairly quickly a mechanism that can be controlled by these people. They almost furniture, disempowered things, they are bought and sold. In addition to time, behind a pillar observe ordinary people, some holding children in their arms. Cynicism and indifference hit.

This city - a terrible dystopia, fantasy and perverted attempt to point to our world is far from perfect.

History will unfold gradually - in the plot, the atmosphere, the smallest details. Often in the most biased, and sometimes just disgusting scenes. Absurd and frightening world Inside both repels and attracts. From it hard to look away.

I would like to understand what's going on here. However, until the end credits you will not see any suggestions, do not hear a single word. Rely only on their attentiveness and willingness to get to the bottom.

Mobile nightmares

Inside - the game is not new. The release took place back in 2016. The reason for this review was the release of a mobile version for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. Port receive the cancellation, the screen iPhone X It looks amazing. Still, frameless screens - it's great, no matter what anyone said.

Only it changed management. No virtual switches and buttons are steel mold, all tied to the gestures. The controls are simple and intuitive, you can play with one finger without lifting it off the screen.

Puzzles in the game are interesting, but it is quite simple. You do not hang over the puzzles on the half hour, but poraskinut brains still have to. Tests give a breath, but do not allow to escape from the terrible and oppressive atmosphere.

Verdict

Inside - a terrific game that few people indifferent. She clings gloomy visual style, oppressive atmosphere, exciting and frightening at the same time in history. The developers managed to create an almost perfect mix of story, atmosphere and varied gameplay.

As a result, the game does not let go until the most titles, and the final act of leaving strange aftertaste and ground for reflection.

Inside the passage take about four hours, but it's better to play it twice - you will find previously lost details and open the second ending. It's worth it, believe me.

You can free pass the first act, and then offers to buy the full version of the game for 529 rubles. If the world would delay Inside, you will want to understand what is happening there. No matter how scary at the same time.
