INMOST for Android

Never once have I stumbled upon an IOS game that moves me so deeply as to write a review. This is not a game, it is a complete story. Extremely good gameplay, a puzzle/rpg/action/adventure game all in one, with good controls. Was in tears at the ending sequence, truly a moving game/story; a phenomenal masterpiece.

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 Google arcade to my friends.

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.

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.

I have no idea what the story was about, but I don’t care. The game play is intuitive and draws you in. The game gives you hints when you need them and challenges you when you don’t. There are points when you have to “die” to figure out the puzzle, but the game is considered about not making those moments tedious or repetitive. Aesthetically, it’s remarkable how much the game conveys emotionally with such a spare palette. Well done.
