Plot and mechanics

In Inside the player controls an anonymous boy who travels through dark, rainy universe. He must stop the forces of evil that are trying to take over the world by experimenting on humans. Facing these forces means solving more or less complicated riddles and interacting with the surroundings. Many times it will require high manual skills and quick reflex.

In comparison to the first game, the developers from Playdead added new features to the gameplay. However, the main rules of Inside are similar as in classic 2D platformer games.
