As mentioned in a previous post, I am working on updating INNER to an anthology. I am still working on he second case file (mini-game) to be added but I have updated the game itself to support multiple mini-games! I've also done some minor bug fixing for the original mini-game (now known as case file: Michael) as well as updated the entire rendering system to improve graphical quality and allow me to build what every I think up for new mini-games! I have also put in the request with Steam to make INNER free now that my original announcement for it has been around for a bit. Keep an eye out for going free and the new mini-game in the coming weeks! NOTE TO LINUX USERS: Unfortunately, my Linux machine is down so I wont be able to test and provide stable builds of the new direction for a bit. Though I will release alpha builds on a test branch that you can reach out to me and apply for. Thank you!

• Updated all UI and various systems to support multiple mini-games
• Improved graphics for current and all future mini-games
• Minor bug fixes on original Michael mini-game

WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?
Everyone has something in their past but few choose to face the things that scare them. Wander your subconscious mind under hypnosis and rummage through your memories. Maybe you will find what you're looking for.

Investigate your memories and connect them together with items from your past to solve the missing pieces to the puzzle. However, there is one memory haunting you in the dark corners of your mind. Can you escape it? Or will you confront it?

FEATURES

• Search for hidden objects within the dark halls
  
• Collect pieces from past memories to solve the game-wide puzzle
  
• Avoid the ghost that follows you and haunts your memories
  
• Light the corners of your mind as you solve the puzzle and stay safe longer
  
• Uncover the truth about the creature that haunts you

About The Game

INNER is the result of a 3 day game jam live on Twitch.

The game jam and project itself were created to try and capture the feeling of a horror game without using first person perspective as a tool for immersion and, instead, focusing on atmosphere and tone to deliver a darker feeling.
​
This also gave birth to the concept of DarkStone Digital LABS projects. Smaller titles meant to explore new mechanics, concepts, and styles.
