Maybe, that sounds familiar. By the sounds of it, you probably wouldn’t love Inside. You might like it a bit more than Limbo, but it’s got the same things you didn’t like about Limbo, which happen to be the reasons I love both games. The gameplay is basically just a different flavour but it’s quite similar, and it’s also very sparse on story, focusing more on atmosphere and vibes basically, which I actually really like, but it sounds like you don’t.the main focus is definitely on the environment, with everything else sort of on the back burner.

I mean, I love atmosphere to be clear. Several of my favourite games stand on the foundation of atmosphere, like STALKER, Cyberpunk, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Dishonored… Withering Rooms that I played recently was dripping with atmosphere, which is part of why I had trouble moving on from it. Limbo does have good atmosphere but… its atmosphere is kind of one-note, like yeah it’s spooky shadows but that’s all there is. It’s neat, but it’s not really wowed me to the extent that it really elevated the game for me or anything. From what I’ve heard Inside has a bit more of a story to it, a which makes me hopeful I’ll like it better. Artsy indie platformers can work for me, I really liked both GRIS and INMOST.
