A marvelous tone piece. The muted, but not quite black-and-white art style complemented by the cold howls of echoey synths reverberating into empty factories and dark woodscapes produce a tense atmosphere of quiet dread throughout the experience only rivaled by the creators' previous game LIMBO. But whereas LIMBO relishes in the shock value of its edginess, INSIDE's edginess feels subtler, and more cohesive towards its themes of control and oppression. Playing INSIDE feels like being trapped in an Edward Hopper painting. Other people may exist right beside you but their sentience is only ever an idea. The city outside the cafe may be vast and its glass may be transparent, but even if the outside is clearly visible, one can never truly escape the feeling of being...inside.
