Other people rate games by the number of hours they can get in it. Maybe they feel it makes it worth it. But I rate it according to how much I enjoyed it while playing whether its 2 hours, 10 hours or 80+ hours.

This game is from the same brilliant developers who made Limbo - a masterpiece. They did not disappoint. It's yet another masterpiece! It's short game but I enjoyed it every much despite being creeped out by the plot.

Revisited Playdead's INSIDE for the start of the decade and it was a great experience. Moment to moment it feels like a film treatment, surreal and immense despite being such a small game. Not a traditional narrative wrapped up in a very traditional style game, interesting pairing. There are no answers to discover. Things happen in the background, people turn their necks to hear or see you running past, children accompany their parents to watch the strangest procedures, everyone seems to know what these environments are for, even the kid, but not you the player. I'm satisfied never understanding. And, my god, the cinnamontography. Play this and Limbo, if you haven't already. Either of these might be included in my games of the decade list.

Oh my god, I have no words...

The ending literally made my jaw drop. For real.

Finding all the achievements now so I can see the alternate ending.

went into this blind. only knew people on here liked it. i did too. bridged gap between "game" and "experience" nicely. will have to try limbo now.

Inside reminded me a lot of two games: Ico and Another World

That was...something else. About halfway through, I could no longer stop myself from playing.

This game is going to haunt me.

😳😰😲

I haven’t read how long this game is, but every time I approach something that looks like it could be the end I get a little sad it’s almost over. And then, a spooky new game mechanic is introduced!

I want to just give it 5 stars now, but I’ll wait to be sure.

Just picked up Limbo and Inside. I believe 50% off during gog.com Summer sale. Can't wait to dig into these. Inside looks absolutely incredible.
