Y r these developers making such short games. Dont they know a good game is not only about good graphics or atmosphere but lengthy gameplay is of utmost importance. They just put so much effort on atmosphere n leave the gameplay time totally off...Rubbish

I don't think this game should be $20. H=That's a little bit too much for a 3 hour game.

Surprised you guys are on indieDB considering all the media coverage I'm seen on this game... either way, Inside looks pretty awesome. Has that Limbo feel to it.
