Jan. 2025

Nice little low-stakes horror walking sim. Sometimes I wanna play something spooky without the stress of being stalked by the most terrifying creature for 4+ hours and this fits that bill nicely. Not the scariest game but its got a good atmosphere and I like the (albeit somewhat unfocused) story decisions you can make that affect the outcome of the game. Plus manic pixie goth girlfriend. Addendum: I will say that based on reviews I read for other similar games on here, some people will probably not find the $8 (I think?) price tag worth the content, unfortunately. But its pretty well done and runs well and the devs seem attentive and willing to address any bugs people might find (I didn't really have any) so it's the kind of game I'm happy to support at that price point. If you're a hyper-critical penny-pincher though, maybe wait until the game is < $5. If you can, though, I'd support at "full" price because it looks like it was made by just 3 devs and those people deserve the money they get for putting something like this together.

This is a yes BUT recommendation. I love indie horror games. A lot. I think part of what makes indie horror appealing to you is if you can find beauty and appreciation in a game's design, it's flaws, and it's innovations. This game hits all those points for me. But if I were to recommend this to someone who hasn't really experienced indie horror before, let me try to set some expectations. Inn Sanity is a very spooky vibe with a bit of mystery and a pinch of choose your own adventure. That's being reductive, but I'm feeling lazy today. This game's visual effects are very cool. You can see it in the trailer. The textures in the game are low res in that VHS horror flavor, but the lighting and the level designs are great. Slightly liminal in nature sometimes which is definitely my jam. People's faces are pixelated and that's explained in game too which is pretty cool. The sound design is also solid. There's lots of little noises here and there that makes the area feel organic. Sometimes you hear stuff happening outside of the Inn, sometimes you hear things in other rooms, it's great for building atmosphere and just making the area feel more real. The horror elements here are also very well executed. There's some horrifying jumpscares. Nothing extremely clever, but very effective. The jumpscares are a little more startling than actually scary, but it's not a cheap trick. Not just a loud shrilly scream for no reason, but not a masterful execution either. Some of the short comings of the horror is mostly in the animations or lack thereof. So this game does clever things to get around technical short comings. For instance, though pixelated faces is explained in the game, it's also a great way to avoid having to worry about facial animations. It avoids the uncanny valley or distractions from weird facial animations so that's an A+ Other things like instead of having to animate a character pulling out a chair to sit down, this game fades to black, and re opens with the character sitting down. It's a little weird looking, but again, if you're into indie horror, you kind of expect these things. The only reason why this starts to affect the game really is sometimes the monsters/threats whatever you want to call them move VERY stiff. Definitely feels like you're just watching an average walk animation. Not very scary or intimidating. Like if someone walks over to you casually, it's not particularly scary. If someone starts scurrying towards you like a zombie Spider-man, that's pretty terrifying. So even though there's a threat lurking around, I've never felt particularly vulnerable or stressed about it. Now for the main reason you'll play this game, the story. The story is really cool. There's enough of a mystery here to keep you playing and trying to figure out what's going on and who to trust the whole game. That's pretty great! The short coming is that this game suffers a lot from translation issues. Sometimes, it's not that bad, but other times, there's a few things that are nonsensical. The voice actress even reads the translation/grammar errors which is even more odd. The translation isn't a deal breaker, but it's definitely distracting sometimes especially when it's read out. Otherwise, if you made it to the end of this rambling, give this game a shot! It's a scary walking sim, with a decent story, cool mysteries, and solid scares

Seriously, this studio continues to make banger after banger. This game is no different. It's one of the better horror games that I've had the pleasure of playing. Also, your main friend is a hot goth girl with big boobs. What do you have to lose? Just buy it.

What a complete gem of a game. I really wasn't sure what I was getting into when I started the game, but as someone who has played literally hundreds of indie horror games, this has made one of my all time top indie horror games. I don't want to give much away, I just highly recommend anyone who enjoys horror to play this.

Nov. 2024

Amazing! The team did an amazing job and I really can't thank them enough for letting a dream of mine come true by letting me voice their character. Its a great story driven game that has good horror elements. Really takes home the "Who is the real monsters" sort of narrative. I really recommend it!
