Other than Gris and Planet of Lana (I already know about those two), what other games do you think would fit within my definition for LIMBO-like? This isn't shallow engagement bait, I just really like these games and I want to play more of them.
Arkham asylum now this will sound stupid but that section just always creeped me out in similar ways Phenomenal video you're just such an underrated gem
Machinarium! 2D puzzle platformer that definitely isn't horror, but it's still very atmospheric. I think it fulfills all your requirements, but it's been a while since I played it (and I didn't get that far lol).
Far: lone sails and changing tides are maybe my favourites ass they add some gameplay complexity without compromising the atmosphere or pacing that these games are known for. The first one is a must play for any fans of the genre and the second, while not as memorable, is also worth checking out for its additions to the gameplay.
It doesn't fit the definition as you laid it out, but I think Thomas Was Alone is almost a mirror inversion of Limbo. Instead of detailed graphics, everything is just coloured shapes, and instead of not saying a word, Thomas Was Alone has a narrator that comments on everything. But despite this, it still manages to tell a story in much the same way, with lots of ambiguity and room for interpritation.
as someone with an amateur background in game dev, watching talks by these devs among others, and using the same engine, its incredible how a game like inside exists. I didnt appreciate it to the full extent when it released, but after learning game dev for some years and playing limbo it has hit me how much playdead has this stuff nailed down
I have no idea why the algorithm didnt like this (maybe the uhh sensible imagery in Limbos background?). Don't let it put you down, its a great video that will do numbers with time.
Man, who knows? It's all too easy to be frustrated by the whims of an unfeeling algorithm. At this point, my only real goal is to continue building out a catalogue of videos I'm proud of, and just cross my fingers that it works out in time.
@@camwing that's the only thing I can come up with that would make the system auto-flag it. Which is a shame because it really is needed to drive home the point of imagery telling the grim story of Limbo. It sucks but I'm sure this will do numbers in time with your next release and folks creeping into the backlog
The moment I glanced at this comment on mobile was the same moment I noticed the word "MAP" at 03:50 flickering along with the in-game lighting. It's just *chef's kiss*.
@@undercoverduck The funny thing is, that wasn't intentional at all, but it looked super cool so we left it in. The light we chroma-keyed our text mapping to started flickering, which means the text did the same. We're definitely gonna try to do it on purpose in future videos though
Really loved this video, an insane amount of polish clearly went into the editing and script writing. Kinda scratches the same itch that a Jacob Geller video does.
I love the trope of a man and his dog traversing through some strange world. Other than Somerville and Blair Witch, you don't see it in many games very often.
Every time I got separated from the dog made me stressed about a fictional animal. I dunno how they did that. I wanna see this trope used more often, because it's a good one.
@@camwing I played Blair Witch in VR and being able to physically pet Bullet and literally hold your arms up in front of you to carry him when he's wounded only made me more attached to him.
It's honestly a valid premise because I myself go hiking with my dogs and have gotten caught up in some off trail explorations. Recently got the most powerful flashlight I've ever owned and I fell in love with exploring at night with my dogs. Living in Oregon there is plenty of vast dense wilderness out here
Great reminder to snag up Little Nightmares for Halloween! 👻 🎃 Inside and Limbo are some of my favourite games and I've had my eyes on Little Nightmare for some time. I'm curious to find out another studio's take on the subgenre/formula.
Absolutely fantastic video!!! I've found your channel a while ago and watched most of your other videos before this one (which those were also great videos by the way); as a big fan of Little Nightmares and someone who likes Limbo and Inside, I think this may be my favorite one from you so far. Keep up the great work
Inside was the pinnacle, absolutely stellar. I felt like Little Nightmares 1 wasn't nearly as good, too prescriptive and limiting in what you had to and could do. I didn't get very far into 2 before I was bored, maybe I'll finish it someday.
Genuinely no clue why this has so few views. This was such an interesting fuckin video, especially talking about Somerville alongside the other big Limbolike series! The personality you injected into the script was so great, and the way you edited text to actually feel like a part of the games they're about? Absolutely masterful. Keep struttin your funky stuff!!
Incredible job on this video. Having the 4 points edited to the style of the game was a great choice. Thank you for your hard work and for sharing this video with us.
I've played inside, planet of lana, and somerville. abzu and journey too if u consider them 3D LIMBO. inside was pretty good, and this may be recency bias but i actually liked somerville more. I mean the art direction, sound design, story, everything really came together, really disappointing it didn't do well. planet of lana seemed so boring and repetitive. the game looked gorgeous on the trailers, but the art style did not change really at all through the game, while inside and (especially) somerville had some gorgeous visuals when a game is more or less doing tedious puzzles with tedious controls, the story, as well as all artistic elements, need to be pushing the barriers, for me to actually enjoying it. The gameplay of all these games are actually horrendous imo, but it slows you down to better appreciate the world and the environment to better tell the story. There's other games which completely get rid of gameplay, which removes all frustrations gained from the gameplay of these games (dontnod/telltale/supergiant etc), but none of these give the same "vibe" of controlling a character and living in the world- it's more less just a movie now...
The first games i immidiently thought of with the description from the beginning were Little Nightmares and the Far games! (Lone Sails and Changing Tides). I think other games like Journey, Rime, Abzu, and unravel could potentially work too. This sort of genre also reminds me a bit of games like Fran Bow, pinstripe, or Little Misfortune, though those do have dialogue &/or spoken words
I really enjoyed Inside. It immediately made me think of Limbo, but I had no idea they were developed by the same company. Guess that tracks. Anyway, I just wanted to say I love your analysis. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
Even though I have played hundreds of games, it is not a coincidence that Soma and INSIDE are still in the top two places among the best games I have played. I would also like to hear from you the feelings of the SOMA game. Thanks for your awesome work 🎉
First of all I’d like to state this video was very well made and I agree completely with everything you said, INSIDE is my favorite game, but I love all of these games. I also wonder if happy game by Amanita deigns would fit into this category because I definitely get a similar vibe from it.
INSIDE is one of the best games I have ever played and clearly one of my favourites. I agree with your claims. That siren creature probably traumatised me
I've always considered these games to be part of the same general subgenre that games like the original Prince of Persia, Abe's Odyssey and Another World pioneered. Platformers with an emphasis on animation, realistic player-physics and highly visually directed narratives often with merciless death States that come from playing out of step with the "choreography"
4:57 WHAT ponent? 5:59 WHAT up with more inventive ways? 10:46 WHAT with a layer of mystery? 11:48 WHAT parisons? 11:55 WHAT pany? 12:12 WHAT pare? 14:57 when theyre WHAT ing?
i love to see you check out “Unto the End” although it kind of strays away in some points like it having cinematic combat, but theres no words said and its bloody beautiful its made by two people and is really underrated
0:56 the “screenshot and put in on a wall” thing is just like the relatively unknown game by Hinterland studios titled The Long Dark, it has an almost painted style and an amazing story and survival mode with an incredible dlc with great gameplay and graphics. It certainly would be a great video idea, with some hidden storylines in survival, difficulty, and pure beauty in the visuals, it’s an amazing game, and holds so many reasons more. and it deserves its place as my most played game, but I wouldn’t consider myself an expert especially with all the things to be completed left on my main save. You should really try it out for a video
I found your channel yesterday and already bidged most of the videos ❤ I hope your channel will blow up because the videos you make are absolutely amazing
I love Limbo and Inside so much. I've been waiting for another game that recreates the feeling I had when I first played them. Little Nightmares came close, but not close enough.
Oh my god this video is so well edited, like you can see how much Effort was put into this. And how every time you speak about a different game you change the font and just AUGHHH EVERYTHING IS JUST SO GOOD. Personally I love Little Nightmares the most probably because of its charm coming from the kids. But Inside has that feeling that Little Nightmares doesn’t, that feeling in its audio design and visuals that give you the feeling of a fever dream. Especially in the moment when you break the wooden planks underwater with the submarine and the camera zooms out and that feeling of being in a vacuum appears. Loved the video it deserves all the attention. Don’t lose motivation!
I am on a mini binge of your videos and I am so happy to see a video on INSIDE! I played it completely blind about a month ago and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head. I’m a huge fan of puzzle-platformers, and this is really the best of the genre. The controls are perfect, the art immerses the player fully in the world, the puzzles are just the right amount of challenge - and you can tell they learned from the flaws of LIMBO. I never saw myself as a completionist, but for INSIDE I absolutely had to get all the orbs. One thing I was surprised experience while playing was my protectiveness over the main character. It was a really clever choice to make the playable character a kid, I found myself thinking throughout my playthrough “I need to get him out of here,” more than “I need to solve this puzzle.” It adds to the uneasy mood surrounding the game. You did a great job highlighting all the things I love about “LIMBO-Like” games, and how Playdead separates themselves from other titles. You’d probably really enjoy ThatGuyGlenn’s deep dive into the creation of LIMBO!
dewe is no such thing as da pewfect video game, but i can't think of any othew piece of media dat so mastewfuwwy executes evewy singwe one of its cowe ideas dan pwaydead's "inside." dey didn't invent da puzzwe-pwatfowmew, and dis cewtainwy isn't da fiwst video game tuwu wewy own puwewy visuaw stowywewwing, but da way dey itewated own some fundamentaw design choices dat wewe common pwace in da industwy puts "inside" into a tiew of its own. as with any awtistic medium, da pewceived quawity of a video game is pawticuwawwy subjective, but i think anybody wouwd agwee dat pwaydead had a vewy cweaw vision of what dey wanted dis expewience tuwu be. fwom da visuaws tuwu da unspoken nawwative tuwu da puzzwes, evewy individuaw aspect dat makes up da whowe of dis game was executed with neaw pewfection. i don't say dis wightwy, but yuw couwd take a scweenshot fwom any singwe fwame at any point duwing a pwaydwough of "inside," pwint it out, and fwame it own youw waww. maybe don't duwu it with da pawts whewe da chiwd dies-dat wouwd, dat wouwd be weiwd. dis is faw fwom pwaydead's fiwst pubwished game; it's theiw second. theiw inauguwaw titwe, "wimbo," was owiginawwy pubwished by micwosoft in 2010, excwusive tuwu da xbox 360. it quickwy shot tuwu da top of da sawes chawts and was weweased own steam and da pwaystation 3 da fowwowing yeaw. by any metic, "wimbo" was a success. pwaydead didn't invent da puzzwe-pwatfowmew, but theiw puzzwes wewe cwevew and tightwy integwated into da wowwd, wequiwing a unique enviwonmentaw awaweness. its minyawist visuaws wewe gowgeous and wewe wanded upon befowe devewopment of da game even stawted. aw jensen, pwaydead co-foundew and cweative diwectow behind "wimbo" and "inside," cweated dis concept twaiwew in 2006 as a way of sowidifying da visuaws he had imagined duwing pwe-pwoduction and as a way tuwu entice devewopews into joining da pwoject. "wimbo" isn't da fiwst piece of puwewy visuaw stowywewwing, but as an intewactive medium, da way da pwayew engages with da wowwd tuwu advance da stowy was handwed bettew dan anything ewse da gaming wandscape had weawwy seen up tuwu dat point. da way evewything is seamwesswy intewconnected fwom stawt tuwu finish in one enowmous map was what weawwy set "wimbo" so faw apawt. dewe wewe no wevews tuwu compwete; youw onwy objective is pushing youw way past da hostiwe enviwonments and moving into whatevew is next. and since dewe isn't a singwe piece of wwitten ow spoken diawogue, it's weft entiwewy up tuwu da pwayew's imagination as tuwu what these visuaws couwd aww mean. dis, in my mind, is why "wimbo" shouwd be considewed a genwe-defining titwe. aww of these ewements combined tuwned "wimbo" into an entiwewy unique expewience in 2010, one dat has weawwy onwy been fuwwy wepwicated and impwoved upon by pwaydead's "inside." fwom softwawe didn't invent da action-adventuwe jwpg, but something as simpwe as an innovative checkpoint system spwingboawded "demon souws" into da now commonwy wegawded "souws-wike" genwe, and i fiwmwy bewieve dat pwaydead is mowe dan desewving of a simiwaw monikew fow theiw seminaw titwe, "wimbo." what makes a game "wimbo-wike," in my mind, is weawwy fouw things: one, it wewies entiwewy own visuaw stowywewwing. dewe's no wwitten ow spoken diawogue; it's compwetewy open tuwu intewpwetation. uwu
da nawwative is definitewy dewe, we just awen't expwicitwy towd what it is. two, whedew it's a fwat side scwowwew ow pawtiawwy 3d, da game's entiwe design is buiwt awound one seamwess but compwetewy wineaw map whewe youw onwy objective is tuwu push past da chawwenges tuwu continue fowwawd. thwee, whiwe it doesn't necessawiwy have tuwu be howwow, it needs tuwu be intensewy atmospwewic, which happens tuwu wend itsewf nicewy tuwu an atmospewe of constant dwead. and finawwy, fouw, combat is incompatibwe with dis fowmuwa. dewe may be moments whewe yuw outsmawt ow even kiww an enemy, but youw chawactew is just anothew piece of dis wowwd. yuw awen't an action hewo; yuw'we uwtimatewy just as wikewy tuwu be a victim as yuw awe tuwu be da victow. an expewience dis tightwy cwafted wiww by necessity be wewativewy showt. each of da games i'm about tuwu discuss can aww be beaten in 2 tuwu 3 houws, fouw if yuw'we a compwetionist. dis means dey'we vewy spoiwabwe, so my intention with da visuaws we pwesent in dis video is tuwu ensuwe dat without da context yuw'ww need tuwu make sense of dem, dey don't necessawiwy give much away. but these awe da kinds of games dat awe genewawwy best expewienced bwind, so if dat's something yuw'we hoping tuwu avoid, these awe da wimbo-wike games we'ww be discussing, and keep in mind, dis is faw fwom a compwehensive wist. da minimawism of wimbo is a significant component tuwu how dis game instiwws feaw. da absence of infowmation inhewentwy causes ouw minds tuwu twy and fiww in da bwanks. mawtin ste andewson, pwaydead's audio engineew, discussed dis phiwosophy in an intewview with ign showtwy aftew da game waunched: "quote, one of pwaydead's key concepts about dis game was dat it shouwd be mowe ambiguous, and each pwayew wiww have theiw own impwessions. da whowe concept of da visuaws, da howizon, is awways bwuwwed, so yuw can pwoject youw own things into da spaces. i twied tuwu duwu da same with da sound, with noise and textuwes. yuw stawt tuwu heaw things dat awen't dewe." yuw shouwd subscwibe tuwu my youtube channew. a weduction in detaiw wasn't a decision made in owdew tuwu wighten da wowkwoad; in fact, it ended up having da opposite effect. da designews wewe constwained by da siwhouetted monochwome cowow pawette tuwu come up with mowe inventive ways of conveying infowmation, which gave us some of da mowe viscewaw [music] moments. wimbo is bwutaw, and i don't mean da difficuwty. da checkpoints awe vewy genewouswy positioned wight befowe an encountew dat wiww inevitabwy kiww yuw, which means twiaw and ewwow is cowe tuwu da expewience. death isn't necessawiwy a mechanicaw punishment, but fow da mowe imaginative pwayews, it can awmost sewve as a psychowogicaw one. da absence of infowmation causes youw mind tuwu fiww in da gaps, and imagining youw pwayew chawactew as an actuaw pewson. uwu.
weww, wet's just say dat seeing a papew cut-out of a wittwe boy being poked dwough da tummy by a papew cut-out of a pointy spidew weg shouwdn't be as upsetting as it ends up being. wimbo's unique design and visuaw identity inspiwed mowe dan just da occasionaw unscwupuwous copycat. wooking at da 2017 wewease of wittwe nightmawes, it wouwd be easy tuwu assume dat its pwoduction was inspiwed by pwaydead's inside, which was weweased da pwiow yeaw, but bod titwes wewe announced in 2014, and despite deiw simiwawities, wewe devewoped compwetewy independentwy of each othew. dey itewate own da basic wimbo fowmuwa in diffewent ways: inside adds dimension and detaiw tuwu da monochwome cowow pawette and weawwy shows pwaydead's stwengd in enviwonmentaw design, whiwe stiww embwacing da minimawism of wimbo. wittwe nightmawes weaws its inspiwations own its sweeve but is unapowogetic in its identity as a suwvivaw howwow game and embwaces a wevew of detaiw dat highwights exactwy whewe its nawe comes fwom. youw chawactew is weguwawwy fowced intwo scenawios against some genuinewy distuwbing monstews, and twue tuwu da fouwd wuwe dat deemphasizes combat, youw onwy option is tuwu use youw suwwoundings tuwu suwvive, whedew it's hiding in pwain sight ow using youw minyuscule size tuwu put youwsewf out of weach. wittwe nightmawes takes da enviwonmentaw puzzwes of wimbo and mewges dem with tense chase sequences dat pway own basic chiwdhood feaws. i mean, these shouwd... these shouwd pwobabwy be aduwt feaws too. pwaydead utiwizes minimawism tuwu twick youw bwain intwo fiwwing in da bwanks, whewe wittwe nightmawes goes fow a much mowe distuwbingwy detaiwed wook. da wevew of visuaw powish is exceptionaw, but unfowtunatewy, dat powish doesn't awways make its way intwo da gamepway. cewtain puzzwes dat don't awways cwick in an intuitive way, ow hit boxes dat cowwide with unexpected wesuwts, awe mowe of an annoyance dan a detwaction fwom da ovewaww expewience, which is othewwise wondewfuwwy howwifying, and one dat's expounded upon in its sequew. in an intewview with wittwe nightmawes sewies wwitew dave mewvik, kywe hiwawd asked about how pwaying and wepwaying sequences duwing testing wouwd inevitabwy desensitize da team tuwu da... da feewing dey'we twying tuwu diaw in, and yuw wanted tuwu know how dey wewe abwe tuwu maintain dat sense of feaw. dave expwains, "quote, yuw awways know what yuw'we going fow, so it's about cawibwating dat feewing quite eawwy own. it's about conducting dose emotions. yuw want peopwe tuwu feew cawm fow a cewtain time, and den yuw hit dem with it." it's intewesting tuwu dink dat a game wike wittwe nightmawes wouwd have a sewies wwitew when da game itsewf doesn't dewivew any nawative outside of puwewy visuaw stowytewwing. pwaydead's titwes, wimbo and inside, opewate own a simiwaw phiwosophy, but deiw mystewies awe intended tuwu wemain unanswed. da stowy is secondawy tuwu da pwayew's individuaw expewience, whewe evewything is open tuwu intewpwetation. dis is not da case with wittwe nightmawes. uwu.
Bwy da time de fiwst game was finished, ouvah 150 pages of wowe was wwitten, and whiwe smaww pieces of it awe expwained in the associated comic books, the entiwe stowy is vewy intentionawwy nevew expwained in the games. Evewy piece of the unspoken nawwative-fwom the chawactew you contwow to the wocations you visit to the enemies you encountew-awe aww wwitten with backstowies and independent motivations. It's obviouswy going to be cweepy fow the sake of being cweepy-these awe howwow games aftew aww-but the visuaws maintain a vewy cweaw sense of intentionawity. Expwowing a diwapidated schoow fiwwed with wiving powcewain puppets wouwd be tewwifying on its own, but the fact that these students, this setting, that they aww have a thowoughwy fweshed-out weason fow why they'we hewe and what theiw motivations awe, is one of the weasons this sewies sticks with you. These awe mystewies that have a codified sowution, whethew ow not we'ww evew twuwy know what that is. The natuwe of visuaw stowytewwing wiww awmost invawiabwy come with a wayew of mystewy. Pway Dead's "Inside" is a mastew cwass in showing evewything and tewwing nothing. Unwike "Wittwe Nightmawes," "Inside" doesn't necessawiwy have answews to any of its biggest questions, and if they exist somewhewe within Pwaydead staff, theiw designews have been tewwingwy tight-wipped about it. And showtwy aftew it weweased in 2016, Pwaydead co-foundew Dino Patti cut ties with the company, founding the studio Jumpship in 2017. The weasoning behind his depawtuwe goes faw beyond the scope of this video, but theiw fiwst titwe, "Somewviwwe," weweased to middwing cwiticaw weception, which is unfowtunate because aside fwom some unintuitive design choices and the occasionaw wack of powish, "Somewviwwe" manages to innovate within the genwe in some impwessive ways. And instead of opewating undew a designed phiwosophy of intentionawwy weaving things open to intewpwetation, it manages to dewivew a neawwy compwete nawwative thwough excwusivewy visuaw stowytewwing. In an intewview with Spowts Iwwustwated (yes, that Spowts Iwwustwated), Dino pwotested the compawisons of "Somewviwwe" with Pwaydead's titwes: "It's annoying that you cannot avoid that tie, and obviouswy, when I set up a new company, I twied to set up the same vawues and stwuctuwes. Doesn't have the same hiwing pwincipwes, so if you feew it's simiwaw, maybe that's why. But it's a totawwy new team, nobody wooked at 'Inside' ow 'Limbo'." Aside fwom the fouw weasons I wouwd expwicitwy compawe this game to "Limbo," "Somewviwwe" has a vewy distinctive visuaw identity. It awmost pways wike a movie, whewe thewe's an intwoductowy sequence with opening cwedits, an act one pwowogue that estabwishes youw chawactew's wewationship with his famiwy, and a weiwd baby, which I just-I just think is kind of funny, and it's... it's pwobabwy not on puwpose. The stowy stawts off with a twaceabwe set of beats: awiens have invaded, the fathew of this famiwy is hit by a piece of stwange technowogy, and pwesuming the wowst, the mothew and chiwd evacuate, weaving the pwayew chawactew behind. He discovews a stwange powew upon waking up, and we now have an inciting incident that hewps to dewivew the nawwative aww without a singwe piece of wwitten ow spoken infowmation. uwu.
Dewe is awso a doggo in it, and I wuv him UwU. Its goawl is to teww a stowy, and da mixed weception has vewy wittle to do wif dat. Wike so many games befowe it, poow pewformance and bugses awe two of da biggest weasons cited fow its negative weviews, though it is stiww weceiving patchies, at weast most wecently two months pwior to dis video's wewease. I can onwy hope dat its most gwawing issues awe iwon'd out in da futuwe because dewe's a fantastic game undewneaf it aww. Da biggest twagedy of Somewville is how incwedible its finaw act is, which I onwy say because of da numbew of peopwe who wikewy encountewed da afowementioned issues and quit pwaying befowe they wewe abwe to weach it. If yuw're a fan of da genwe, I can stiww definitewy wecommend it, which finawwy bwingies us back to Pwaydead's "Inside," a titwe which I genuinewy stwuggwe to cwiticize. Fwom its gowgeous visuaws, its cinematogwaphy, and its endwess aiw of mystewy, yuw can pwobabwy teww I wike dis game. Aww of dese titwes awe aiming fow vewy diffewent expewiences, but "Inside" is da onwy one dat, in my mind, puwws it off pewfectwy. Da puzzwes awe immediatewy intuitive, but they pwesent a genuine chawwenge. Da way Pwaydead fowces yuw to intewact wif yuw enviwonment, funnewing yuw decision-making into a finite diwection whiwe simuwtaneouswy giving its pwayews agency, awways manages to make yuw feew wike a genius. Dewe awe heawt-pounding moments of tension dat ewevate its othewwise simpwe puzzwe-pwatfowming. Da wowld is fiwwed wif so much detaiw and visuaw infowmation dat it spawned countwess theowies fwom its miwwions of pwayews, not in spite of da wack of nawwative, but because of it. A stowy obviouswy exists hewe; it has to. But we'ww nevew get a diwect confiwmation of what it wepwesents. I wouwdn't necessawiwy caww "Inside" a howwow game, but it has a handfuw of segments dat instiww da same sense of dwead. And it doesn't seem to mattew how many times I pway thwough it; dewe awe moments dat awways get me, even when I know they'we coming. Pwaydead and Jumpship awe hawd at wowk on futuwe titwes, and wif "Wittle Nightmawes 3" coming out next yeaw, I can onwy hope dat dis secwet wittle sub-genwe wiww continue to gwow. uwu.
hey CAMWING! you should PLAY. A DIFFERENT GAme! This game is BOURING with a CAPITAL B!! Pley an ACTUAL GAME like FREDDY NIGHTS AT FAZBEARS!! you always SUCK at choosing COOL AND INTERESTING GAMES becuz😂 you want JOE BIDEN to be presidnt… lol. 😂😂😂 DON NOT FORGOT!! play FREDDY FAZVVEARS!! donut try to arguae wit me…. I am AWESOME at debating….
hello mr monkey i regret to inform you that five nights at fazbore is not a real video game and i cannot play it please do not contact me at this number ever again
Other than Gris and Planet of Lana (I already know about those two), what other games do you think would fit within my definition for LIMBO-like? This isn't shallow engagement bait, I just really like these games and I want to play more of them.
Arkham asylum now this will sound stupid but that section just always creeped me out in similar ways
Phenomenal video you're just such an underrated gem
Machinarium! 2D puzzle platformer that definitely isn't horror, but it's still very atmospheric. I think it fulfills all your requirements, but it's been a while since I played it (and I didn't get that far lol).

The first one is a must play for any fans of the genre and the second, while not as memorable, is also worth checking out for its additions to the gameplay.
Darq's a pretty good one. Short but well made.
It doesn't fit the definition as you laid it out, but I think Thomas Was Alone is almost a mirror inversion of Limbo.
Instead of detailed graphics, everything is just coloured shapes, and instead of not saying a word, Thomas Was Alone has a narrator that comments on everything. But despite this, it still manages to tell a story in much the same way, with lots of ambiguity and room for interpritation.
as someone with an amateur background in game dev, watching talks by these devs among others, and using the same engine, its incredible how a game like inside exists. I didnt appreciate it to the full extent when it released, but after learning game dev for some years and playing limbo it has hit me how much playdead has this stuff nailed down
It really is insane how polished the entire game is. They did so much with so little, it's amazing
I don't know why, but I feel like I should subscribe to your channel
I have no idea why the algorithm didnt like this (maybe the uhh sensible imagery in Limbos background?). Don't let it put you down, its a great video that will do numbers with time.
Man, who knows? It's all too easy to be frustrated by the whims of an unfeeling algorithm. At this point, my only real goal is to continue building out a catalogue of videos I'm proud of, and just cross my fingers that it works out in time.
@@camwing that's the only thing I can come up with that would make the system auto-flag it. Which is a shame because it really is needed to drive home the point of imagery telling the grim story of Limbo. It sucks but I'm sure this will do numbers in time with your next release and folks creeping into the backlog
Amazing job here my dude!
Love the editing! ❤ 10/10
The text on the screen in the Limbo section looks so dang cool. Great vid! I really wanna play Inside again.
You have been on an absolute roll lately. Excellent editing in this one, big props!
The moment I glanced at this comment on mobile was the same moment I noticed the word "MAP" at 03:50 flickering along with the in-game lighting. It's just *chef's kiss*.
@@undercoverduck The funny thing is, that wasn't intentional at all, but it looked super cool so we left it in. The light we chroma-keyed our text mapping to started flickering, which means the text did the same. We're definitely gonna try to do it on purpose in future videos though
Well, that's was a nice happy lil' accident. 👍@@camwing
Really loved this video, an insane amount of polish clearly went into the editing and script writing. Kinda scratches the same itch that a Jacob Geller video does.
I love the trope of a man and his dog traversing through some strange world. Other than Somerville and Blair Witch, you don't see it in many games very often.
Every time I got separated from the dog made me stressed about a fictional animal. I dunno how they did that. I wanna see this trope used more often, because it's a good one.
@@camwing I played Blair Witch in VR and being able to physically pet Bullet and literally hold your arms up in front of you to carry him when he's wounded only made me more attached to him.
I do it on Fridays
You pet Bullet every Friday?😂@@alex.g7317
It's honestly a valid premise because I myself go hiking with my dogs and have gotten caught up in some off trail explorations. Recently got the most powerful flashlight I've ever owned and I fell in love with exploring at night with my dogs. Living in Oregon there is plenty of vast dense wilderness out here
i love the text effects in this one (and the analysis as always ia great!)
Great reminder to snag up Little Nightmares for Halloween! 👻 🎃 Inside and Limbo are some of my favourite games and I've had my eyes on Little Nightmare for some time. I'm curious to find out another studio's take on the subgenre/formula.
Absolutely fantastic video!!! I've found your channel a while ago and watched most of your other videos before this one (which those were also great videos by the way); as a big fan of Little Nightmares and someone who likes Limbo and Inside, I think this may be my favorite one from you so far. Keep up the great work
I would add Detention to the list
hmm. keep it up, camwing. please.
Inside was the pinnacle, absolutely stellar. I felt like Little Nightmares 1 wasn't nearly as good, too prescriptive and limiting in what you had to and could do.
I didn't get very far into 2 before I was bored, maybe I'll finish it someday.
Genuinely no clue why this has so few views. This was such an interesting fuckin video, especially talking about Somerville alongside the other big Limbolike series! The personality you injected into the script was so great, and the way you edited text to actually feel like a part of the games they're about? Absolutely masterful. Keep struttin your funky stuff!!
Incredible job on this video. Having the 4 points edited to the style of the game was a great choice. Thank you for your hard work and for sharing this video with us.
I've played inside, planet of lana, and somerville. abzu and journey too if u consider them 3D LIMBO.
inside was pretty good, and this may be recency bias but i actually liked somerville more. I mean the art direction, sound design, story, everything really came together, really disappointing it didn't do well.
planet of lana seemed so boring and repetitive. the game looked gorgeous on the trailers, but the art style did not change really at all through the game, while inside and (especially) somerville had some gorgeous visuals
when a game is more or less doing tedious puzzles with tedious controls, the story, as well as all artistic elements, need to be pushing the barriers, for me to actually enjoying it. The gameplay of all these games are actually horrendous imo, but it slows you down to better appreciate the world and the environment to better tell the story.
There's other games which completely get rid of gameplay, which removes all frustrations gained from the gameplay of these games (dontnod/telltale/supergiant etc), but none of these give the same "vibe" of controlling a character and living in the world- it's more less just a movie now...
The first games i immidiently thought of with the description from the beginning were Little Nightmares and the Far games! (Lone Sails and Changing Tides). I think other games like Journey, Rime, Abzu, and unravel could potentially work too.
This sort of genre also reminds me a bit of games like Fran Bow, pinstripe, or Little Misfortune, though those do have dialogue &/or spoken words
You should play rain world I think :>
perhaps I will 👀
I really enjoyed Inside. It immediately made me think of Limbo, but I had no idea they were developed by the same company. Guess that tracks.
Anyway, I just wanted to say I love your analysis. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
Even though I have played hundreds of games, it is not a coincidence that Soma and INSIDE are still in the top two places among the best games I have played.
I would also like to hear from you the feelings of the SOMA game.
Thanks for your awesome work 🎉
First of all I’d like to state this video was very well made and I agree completely with everything you said, INSIDE is my favorite game, but I love all of these games. I also wonder if happy game by Amanita deigns would fit into this category because I definitely get a similar vibe from it.
Played all games, Limbo & Inside are among my favorites!
Good video!
INSIDE is one of the best games I have ever played and clearly one of my favourites. I agree with your claims.
That siren creature probably traumatised me
Although it’s not perfect, having some glitches, Inmost reminds me of this type of game, even though it has a spoken narrative.
this channel is underrated as fuck
Just discovered your channel, your videos are excellent! Subbed :)
I've always considered these games to be part of the same general subgenre that games like the original Prince of Persia, Abe's Odyssey and Another World pioneered. Platformers with an emphasis on animation, realistic player-physics and highly visually directed narratives often with merciless death States that come from playing out of step with the "choreography"
Little Nightmares will always be a favorite series of mine, even if I can only play if for 30 minutes at a time
4:57 WHAT ponent?
5:59 WHAT up with more inventive ways?
10:46 WHAT with a layer of mystery?
11:48 WHAT parisons?

I've got to play these games.
idk why do u have only 30k subs but u deserve more, love u camwing pls make a video about minecraft sex mods
I'll post it on my secret fourth channel, you just need to find it
(also thanks)
this is a masterpiece of a video! even for a non fan of games like that (me) you made me wanna play it!
hopefully tarsier studios better do well on their new game reanimal
From what little we've seen, it looks pretty sweet. That's probably gonna be a day 1 buy from me
i love to see you check out “Unto the End”
although it kind of strays away in some points like it having cinematic combat, but theres no words said and its bloody beautiful
its made by two people and is really underrated
0:56 the “screenshot and put in on a wall” thing is just like the relatively unknown game by Hinterland studios titled The Long Dark, it has an almost painted style and an amazing story and survival mode with an incredible dlc with great gameplay and graphics. It certainly would be a great video idea, with some hidden storylines in survival, difficulty, and pure beauty in the visuals, it’s an amazing game, and holds so many reasons more. and it deserves its place as my most played game, but I wouldn’t consider myself an expert especially with all the things to be completed left on my main save. You should really try it out for a video
I found your channel yesterday and already bidged most of the videos ❤ I hope your channel will blow up because the videos you make are absolutely amazing
I love Limbo and Inside so much. I've been waiting for another game that recreates the feeling I had when I first played them. Little Nightmares came close, but not close enough.
What an amazing vidéo , I comment here for the algorythm cause it deserves more views ! Thank you !
wow limbo reminds me of rainworld but can that spider disappear now
Far Lone Sails and Pid are other games id put in that Limbo-Like genre , they are also fuckin awesome
leaving an offering for the algorithm gods ~ sorry I don't have anything interesting to add :P keep making them videos
And now the creators of the original little nightmares are making another game for the genre which is awesome. More please!
The savepoints define a souls-like..? Hmm... 🤔
Inside was one of the very few games i actually played until the end.
Be healthy! Everything in this video is great😎
Oh my god this video is so well edited, like you can see how much Effort was put into this. And how every time you speak about a different game you change the font and just AUGHHH EVERYTHING IS JUST SO GOOD. Personally I love Little Nightmares the most probably because of its charm coming from the kids. But Inside has that feeling that Little Nightmares doesn’t, that feeling in its audio design and visuals that give you the feeling of a fever dream. Especially in the moment when you break the wooden planks underwater with the submarine and the camera zooms out and that feeling of being in a vacuum appears. Loved the video it deserves all the attention. Don’t lose motivation!
does far:lone sails count as a limbolike
I am on a mini binge of your videos and I am so happy to see a video on INSIDE! I played it completely blind about a month ago and I haven’t been able to get it out of my head. I’m a huge fan of puzzle-platformers, and this is really the best of the genre. The controls are perfect, the art immerses the player fully in the world, the puzzles are just the right amount of challenge - and you can tell they learned from the flaws of LIMBO. I never saw myself as a completionist, but for INSIDE I absolutely had to get all the orbs.
One thing I was surprised experience while playing was my protectiveness over the main character. It was a really clever choice to make the playable character a kid, I found myself thinking throughout my playthrough “I need to get him out of here,” more than “I need to solve this puzzle.” It adds to the uneasy mood surrounding the game. You did a great job highlighting all the things I love about “LIMBO-Like” games, and how Playdead separates themselves from other titles.
You’d probably really enjoy ThatGuyGlenn’s deep dive into the creation of LIMBO!
im your great grandson 💯💯💯
Please play "far lone sails"
bless you!

dewe is no such thing as da pewfect video game, but i can't think of any othew piece of media dat so mastewfuwwy executes evewy singwe one of its cowe ideas dan pwaydead's "inside." dey didn't invent da puzzwe-pwatfowmew, and dis cewtainwy isn't da fiwst video game tuwu wewy own puwewy visuaw stowywewwing, but da way dey itewated own some fundamentaw design choices dat wewe common pwace in da industwy puts "inside" into a tiew of its own. as with any awtistic medium, da pewceived quawity of a video game is pawticuwawwy subjective, but i think anybody wouwd agwee dat pwaydead had a vewy cweaw vision of what dey wanted dis expewience tuwu be. fwom da visuaws tuwu da unspoken nawwative tuwu da puzzwes, evewy individuaw aspect dat makes up da whowe of dis game was executed with neaw pewfection. i don't say dis wightwy, but yuw couwd take a scweenshot fwom any singwe fwame at any point duwing a pwaydwough of "inside," pwint it out, and fwame it own youw waww. maybe don't duwu it with da pawts whewe da chiwd dies-dat wouwd, dat wouwd be weiwd. dis is faw fwom pwaydead's fiwst pubwished game; it's theiw second. theiw inauguwaw titwe, "wimbo," was owiginawwy pubwished by micwosoft in 2010, excwusive tuwu da xbox 360. it quickwy shot tuwu da top of da sawes chawts and was weweased own steam and da pwaystation 3 da fowwowing yeaw. by any metic, "wimbo" was a success. pwaydead didn't invent da puzzwe-pwatfowmew, but theiw puzzwes wewe cwevew and tightwy integwated into da wowwd, wequiwing a unique enviwonmentaw awaweness. its minyawist visuaws wewe gowgeous and wewe wanded upon befowe devewopment of da game even stawted. aw jensen, pwaydead co-foundew and cweative diwectow behind "wimbo" and "inside," cweated dis concept twaiwew in 2006 as a way of sowidifying da visuaws he had imagined duwing pwe-pwoduction and as a way tuwu entice devewopews into joining da pwoject. "wimbo" isn't da fiwst piece of puwewy visuaw stowywewwing, but as an intewactive medium, da way da pwayew engages with da wowwd tuwu advance da stowy was handwed bettew dan anything ewse da gaming wandscape had weawwy seen up tuwu dat point. da way evewything is seamwesswy intewconnected fwom stawt tuwu finish in one enowmous map was what weawwy set "wimbo" so faw apawt. dewe wewe no wevews tuwu compwete; youw onwy objective is pushing youw way past da hostiwe enviwonments and moving into whatevew is next. and since dewe isn't a singwe piece of wwitten ow spoken diawogue, it's weft entiwewy up tuwu da pwayew's imagination as tuwu what these visuaws couwd aww mean. dis, in my mind, is why "wimbo" shouwd be considewed a genwe-defining titwe. aww of these ewements combined tuwned "wimbo" into an entiwewy unique expewience in 2010, one dat has weawwy onwy been fuwwy wepwicated and impwoved upon by pwaydead's "inside." fwom softwawe didn't invent da action-adventuwe jwpg, but something as simpwe as an innovative checkpoint system spwingboawded "demon souws" into da now commonwy wegawded "souws-wike" genwe, and i fiwmwy bewieve dat pwaydead is mowe dan desewving of a simiwaw monikew fow theiw seminaw titwe, "wimbo." what makes a game "wimbo-wike," in my mind, is weawwy fouw things: one, it wewies entiwewy own visuaw stowywewwing. dewe's no wwitten ow spoken diawogue; it's compwetewy open tuwu intewpwetation. uwu
da nawwative is definitewy dewe, we just awen't expwicitwy towd what it is. two, whedew it's a fwat side scwowwew ow pawtiawwy 3d, da game's entiwe design is buiwt awound one seamwess but compwetewy wineaw map whewe youw onwy objective is tuwu push past da chawwenges tuwu continue fowwawd. thwee, whiwe it doesn't necessawiwy have tuwu be howwow, it needs tuwu be intensewy atmospwewic, which happens tuwu wend itsewf nicewy tuwu an atmospewe of constant dwead. and finawwy, fouw, combat is incompatibwe with dis fowmuwa. dewe may be moments whewe yuw outsmawt ow even kiww an enemy, but youw chawactew is just anothew piece of dis wowwd. yuw awen't an action hewo; yuw'we uwtimatewy just as wikewy tuwu be a victim as yuw awe tuwu be da victow. an expewience dis tightwy cwafted wiww by necessity be wewativewy showt. each of da games i'm about tuwu discuss can aww be beaten in 2 tuwu 3 houws, fouw if yuw'we a compwetionist. dis means dey'we vewy spoiwabwe, so my intention with da visuaws we pwesent in dis video is tuwu ensuwe dat without da context yuw'ww need tuwu make sense of dem, dey don't necessawiwy give much away. but these awe da kinds of games dat awe genewawwy best expewienced bwind, so if dat's something yuw'we hoping tuwu avoid, these awe da wimbo-wike games we'ww be discussing, and keep in mind, dis is faw fwom a compwehensive wist. da minimawism of wimbo is a significant component tuwu how dis game instiwws feaw. da absence of infowmation inhewentwy causes ouw minds tuwu twy and fiww in da bwanks. mawtin ste andewson, pwaydead's audio engineew, discussed dis phiwosophy in an intewview with ign showtwy aftew da game waunched: "quote, one of pwaydead's key concepts about dis game was dat it shouwd be mowe ambiguous, and each pwayew wiww have theiw own impwessions. da whowe concept of da visuaws, da howizon, is awways bwuwwed, so yuw can pwoject youw own things into da spaces. i twied tuwu duwu da same with da sound, with noise and textuwes. yuw stawt tuwu heaw things dat awen't dewe." yuw shouwd subscwibe tuwu my youtube channew. a weduction in detaiw wasn't a decision made in owdew tuwu wighten da wowkwoad; in fact, it ended up having da opposite effect. da designews wewe constwained by da siwhouetted monochwome cowow pawette tuwu come up with mowe inventive ways of conveying infowmation, which gave us some of da mowe viscewaw [music] moments. wimbo is bwutaw, and i don't mean da difficuwty. da checkpoints awe vewy genewouswy positioned wight befowe an encountew dat wiww inevitabwy kiww yuw, which means twiaw and ewwow is cowe tuwu da expewience. death isn't necessawiwy a mechanicaw punishment, but fow da mowe imaginative pwayews, it can awmost sewve as a psychowogicaw one. da absence of infowmation causes youw mind tuwu fiww in da gaps, and imagining youw pwayew chawactew as an actuaw pewson. uwu.
weww, wet's just say dat seeing a papew cut-out of a wittwe boy being poked dwough da tummy by a papew cut-out of a pointy spidew weg shouwdn't be as upsetting as it ends up being. wimbo's unique design and visuaw identity inspiwed mowe dan just da occasionaw unscwupuwous copycat. wooking at da 2017 wewease of wittwe nightmawes, it wouwd be easy tuwu assume dat its pwoduction was inspiwed by pwaydead's inside, which was weweased da pwiow yeaw, but bod titwes wewe announced in 2014, and despite deiw simiwawities, wewe devewoped compwetewy independentwy of each othew. dey itewate own da basic wimbo fowmuwa in diffewent ways: inside adds dimension and detaiw tuwu da monochwome cowow pawette and weawwy shows pwaydead's stwengd in enviwonmentaw design, whiwe stiww embwacing da minimawism of wimbo. wittwe nightmawes weaws its inspiwations own its sweeve but is unapowogetic in its identity as a suwvivaw howwow game and embwaces a wevew of detaiw dat highwights exactwy whewe its nawe comes fwom. youw chawactew is weguwawwy fowced intwo scenawios against some genuinewy distuwbing monstews, and twue tuwu da fouwd wuwe dat deemphasizes combat, youw onwy option is tuwu use youw suwwoundings tuwu suwvive, whedew it's hiding in pwain sight ow using youw minyuscule size tuwu put youwsewf out of weach. wittwe nightmawes takes da enviwonmentaw puzzwes of wimbo and mewges dem with tense chase sequences dat pway own basic chiwdhood feaws. i mean, these shouwd... these shouwd pwobabwy be aduwt feaws too. pwaydead utiwizes minimawism tuwu twick youw bwain intwo fiwwing in da bwanks, whewe wittwe nightmawes goes fow a much mowe distuwbingwy detaiwed wook. da wevew of visuaw powish is exceptionaw, but unfowtunatewy, dat powish doesn't awways make its way intwo da gamepway. cewtain puzzwes dat don't awways cwick in an intuitive way, ow hit boxes dat cowwide with unexpected wesuwts, awe mowe of an annoyance dan a detwaction fwom da ovewaww expewience, which is othewwise wondewfuwwy howwifying, and one dat's expounded upon in its sequew. in an intewview with wittwe nightmawes sewies wwitew dave mewvik, kywe hiwawd asked about how pwaying and wepwaying sequences duwing testing wouwd inevitabwy desensitize da team tuwu da... da feewing dey'we twying tuwu diaw in, and yuw wanted tuwu know how dey wewe abwe tuwu maintain dat sense of feaw. dave expwains, "quote, yuw awways know what yuw'we going fow, so it's about cawibwating dat feewing quite eawwy own. it's about conducting dose emotions. yuw want peopwe tuwu feew cawm fow a cewtain time, and den yuw hit dem with it." it's intewesting tuwu dink dat a game wike wittwe nightmawes wouwd have a sewies wwitew when da game itsewf doesn't dewivew any nawative outside of puwewy visuaw stowytewwing. pwaydead's titwes, wimbo and inside, opewate own a simiwaw phiwosophy, but deiw mystewies awe intended tuwu wemain unanswed. da stowy is secondawy tuwu da pwayew's individuaw expewience, whewe evewything is open tuwu intewpwetation. dis is not da case with wittwe nightmawes. uwu.
Bwy da time de fiwst game was finished, ouvah 150 pages of wowe was wwitten, and whiwe smaww pieces of it awe expwained in the associated comic books, the entiwe stowy is vewy intentionawwy nevew expwained in the games. Evewy piece of the unspoken nawwative-fwom the chawactew you contwow to the wocations you visit to the enemies you encountew-awe aww wwitten with backstowies and independent motivations. It's obviouswy going to be cweepy fow the sake of being cweepy-these awe howwow games aftew aww-but the visuaws maintain a vewy cweaw sense of intentionawity. Expwowing a diwapidated schoow fiwwed with wiving powcewain puppets wouwd be tewwifying on its own, but the fact that these students, this setting, that they aww have a thowoughwy fweshed-out weason fow why they'we hewe and what theiw motivations awe, is one of the weasons this sewies sticks with you. These awe mystewies that have a codified sowution, whethew ow not we'ww evew twuwy know what that is. The natuwe of visuaw stowytewwing wiww awmost invawiabwy come with a wayew of mystewy. Pway Dead's "Inside" is a mastew cwass in showing evewything and tewwing nothing. Unwike "Wittwe Nightmawes," "Inside" doesn't necessawiwy have answews to any of its biggest questions, and if they exist somewhewe within Pwaydead staff, theiw designews have been tewwingwy tight-wipped about it. And showtwy aftew it weweased in 2016, Pwaydead co-foundew Dino Patti cut ties with the company, founding the studio Jumpship in 2017. The weasoning behind his depawtuwe goes faw beyond the scope of this video, but theiw fiwst titwe, "Somewviwwe," weweased to middwing cwiticaw weception, which is unfowtunate because aside fwom some unintuitive design choices and the occasionaw wack of powish, "Somewviwwe" manages to innovate within the genwe in some impwessive ways. And instead of opewating undew a designed phiwosophy of intentionawwy weaving things open to intewpwetation, it manages to dewivew a neawwy compwete nawwative thwough excwusivewy visuaw stowytewwing. In an intewview with Spowts Iwwustwated (yes, that Spowts Iwwustwated), Dino pwotested the compawisons of "Somewviwwe" with Pwaydead's titwes: "It's annoying that you cannot avoid that tie, and obviouswy, when I set up a new company, I twied to set up the same vawues and stwuctuwes. Doesn't have the same hiwing pwincipwes, so if you feew it's simiwaw, maybe that's why. But it's a totawwy new team, nobody wooked at 'Inside' ow 'Limbo'." Aside fwom the fouw weasons I wouwd expwicitwy compawe this game to "Limbo," "Somewviwwe" has a vewy distinctive visuaw identity. It awmost pways wike a movie, whewe thewe's an intwoductowy sequence with opening cwedits, an act one pwowogue that estabwishes youw chawactew's wewationship with his famiwy, and a weiwd baby, which I just-I just think is kind of funny, and it's... it's pwobabwy not on puwpose. The stowy stawts off with a twaceabwe set of beats: awiens have invaded, the fathew of this famiwy is hit by a piece of stwange technowogy, and pwesuming the wowst, the mothew and chiwd evacuate, weaving the pwayew chawactew behind. He discovews a stwange powew upon waking up, and we now have an inciting incident that hewps to dewivew the nawwative aww without a singwe piece of wwitten ow spoken infowmation. uwu.
Dewe is awso a doggo in it, and I wuv him UwU. Its goawl is to teww a stowy, and da mixed weception has vewy wittle to do wif dat. Wike so many games befowe it, poow pewformance and bugses awe two of da biggest weasons cited fow its negative weviews, though it is stiww weceiving patchies, at weast most wecently two months pwior to dis video's wewease. I can onwy hope dat its most gwawing issues awe iwon'd out in da futuwe because dewe's a fantastic game undewneaf it aww. Da biggest twagedy of Somewville is how incwedible its finaw act is, which I onwy say because of da numbew of peopwe who wikewy encountewed da afowementioned issues and quit pwaying befowe they wewe abwe to weach it. If yuw're a fan of da genwe, I can stiww definitewy wecommend it, which finawwy bwingies us back to Pwaydead's "Inside," a titwe which I genuinewy stwuggwe to cwiticize. Fwom its gowgeous visuaws, its cinematogwaphy, and its endwess aiw of mystewy, yuw can pwobabwy teww I wike dis game. Aww of dese titwes awe aiming fow vewy diffewent expewiences, but "Inside" is da onwy one dat, in my mind, puwws it off pewfectwy. Da puzzwes awe immediatewy intuitive, but they pwesent a genuine chawwenge. Da way Pwaydead fowces yuw to intewact wif yuw enviwonment, funnewing yuw decision-making into a finite diwection whiwe simuwtaneouswy giving its pwayews agency, awways manages to make yuw feew wike a genius. Dewe awe heawt-pounding moments of tension dat ewevate its othewwise simpwe puzzwe-pwatfowming. Da wowld is fiwwed wif so much detaiw and visuaw infowmation dat it spawned countwess theowies fwom its miwwions of pwayews, not in spite of da wack of nawwative, but because of it. A stowy obviouswy exists hewe; it has to. But we'ww nevew get a diwect confiwmation of what it wepwesents. I wouwdn't necessawiwy caww "Inside" a howwow game, but it has a handfuw of segments dat instiww da same sense of dwead. And it doesn't seem to mattew how many times I pway thwough it; dewe awe moments dat awways get me, even when I know they'we coming. Pwaydead and Jumpship awe hawd at wowk on futuwe titwes, and wif "Wittle Nightmawes 3" coming out next yeaw, I can onwy hope dat dis secwet wittle sub-genwe wiww continue to gwow. uwu.
