Inmost (PC)

Went into this expecting your traditional metroidvania with nice graphics. Seriously, there only seems to be about 2-4 colors at any one time and yet the art is beautiful and flows well with the world. There was also an unexpectedly long animation sequence both in the beginning and end which really punctuates the thing as an art piece. It took awhile to figure out but the story is rife with symbolism and is actually about grief and pain and dealing with it. Domestic Violence. Child Abuse and Neglect. Bullying leading to suicide. It's a really dark, interpreted. Honestly, I don't really understand some of it but I got enough to stop and thinking about life and shit.

The game itself, refreshing. One of those tiny person one hop body jump affairs. The game made it so that you were this insignificant underdog just trying to get through. Anything could kill you but it wasn't that kind of game and actually signalled you to persevere what with the easy way you respawned and the almost inconsequential manner that it moves the game forward not resetting your progress. It's a very endearing tale and I suggest it.

It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you.
