INMOST is a story-focused 2D puzzle platformer told through three characters: a girl exploring her home, a knight venturing through a deteriorating castle, and a wanderer searching for answers. Their separate journeys gradually connect within a dark, mysterious world.
Each character plays differently. The knight fights enemies and can lure them into traps, while the girl’s sections emphasize exploration and avoiding threats. The wanderer explores and solves environmental puzzles as he searches for a way forward.
Move through chapter-based areas by finding items, activating mechanisms, and navigating hazards. Tools including a scythe, hookshot, and pickaxe aid traversal and survival; secret passages and collectibles reward searching beyond the main route.
Many reviewers value INMOST for its emotional, interconnected story and the way its pixel art, animation, music, and sound build a somber atmosphere. Some say the story’s meaning only becomes clear late in the game, while others find the platforming and puzzles simple or the movement slow. Responses to the narrative and gameplay vary across the supplied reviews.
INMOST, by Lithuania-based indie studio Hidden Layer Games, is an emotional and deeply atmospheric narrative-driven puzzle platformer. Uncover the story of an adventurous young girl, a stoic knight and a man in search of answers.
Explore a crumbling, nightmarish landscape, slice through enemies, and spring deadly traps in order to escape the evil that awaits…
**INMOST is an intimate story of loss and hope that some may find upsetting. Player discretion is advised.**
