Inside: Puzzle Platformer Gameplay

Explore a sparsely detailed world and solve environmental puzzles in Inside, a critically acclaimed puzzle platformer game developed by Playdead.

What is Inside?

Inside is an adventure puzzle-platformer video game developed and published by Playdead in 2016. It is the spiritual successor to Playdead's 2010 game Limbo.

In Inside, the player controls a boy in a dark dystopian world, solving environmental puzzles and avoiding death as he explores ever deeper into the strange oppressed city. There is no text or dialogue, allowing the game's moody artwork and ambient soundtrack to tell the story.

Gameplay mostly involves the boy running, jumping, climbing, carrying objects, and using objects to progress through puzzles and reach new areas. Death is frequent but checkpoints are close together, allowing for quick recovery. The boy will die from hazards such as drowning, gunshots, or being crushed.

Inside builds on the concepts and engine created for its predecessor Limbo. It took over 5 years to develop and features stunning visuals with detailed animations and effects. Inside was widely acclaimed for its gameplay, visual and audio art design, and ambiguous storyline.
