I like the old God of Wars, and this looks fine to me, but I'm a little curious why this one has everyone so excited. It looks like every other 3rd person game to me.

Why is this game called Inside?

Why indeed.

Well, you do end the game Outside, as opposed to Inside. And you go Inside people's minds.

The overall gist that I got is:

that the Evil Corporation was researching Matrix-esque human batteries. It seemed like the black masses were some sort of mind-controlling parasite they discovered that let them breed/create vegetative humans for this purpose - you follow their early research through the first half of the game, from animal testing to humans controlled with a device to "zombies" that just kind of instinctively act as one unit. At the climax, you form up with your buddies and bust out of the facility's pilot reactor (possibly during its first live test, given the crowd?), trash the building, and roll out into the world. I don't think the red shirt boy is meant to have any characterization other than "curious kid who wants to explore that crazy complex in the woods."

This isn't a bad way to look at it. My biggest question is

after the game portrays the organization as this faceless monolith with all of its employees operating in lockstep, why did several scientists seem to break ranks and help you escape in the last few moments?

I think they're actually tricking you into going into that water tank. They lure you into the area with the trapdoor to lock you into the tank. But then you break out. Unless they intended you to break out... but I think they're just trying to re-contain you.

That was one of the weirdest games I've played. Definitely did not expect the gameplay turn. I'm still kind of absorbing the ending - I kind of figured out what was going on, but it'd like a bit more closure on the end. I'd like to find the rest of the secrets and see if that reveals anything.

Delilah wasn't lying about anything, the reports were planted by Ned. You find that out in his cave place.

The research station was a research station. Ned broke into it and was using their technology to spy on lookouts in the area.

I relate to the weird over-the-radio relationship actually very strongly, so I found the end very depressing. I can't help but think that they didn't want to animate an actual conversation with Delilah, but I get that Delilah self-sabotaged a lot.

I dunno, the game left me feeling very bummed out. The characters felt so real to me, and their relationship so realistic. I don't know what to think. I am sad.

Also I think Henry moves forward as a character as much as you let him. Maybe the game could have helped you figure out one way or another if he'd moved on more, but also I don't think running into the middle of the wilderness is going really help getting over your wife having dementia.

@davidh219: To me, it seems like there is two blocks between them. I feel like I thought of that but couldn't figure out how to get the lines to work. I'll try monkeying around again. Thanks!

@davidh219: yeah, I've seen blocks that fit together to form new blocks, and that was my assumption here. That's what the rest of the panel is basically doing. But it doesn't seem to work. And testing my hypothesis by just trying only to get that block to light up (as the tutorial sections do when you get a certain part of the puzzle right) doesn't seem to have any answers. So I guess it's fully dependent on the other blocks?

I feel like the Tetris area is the most obtuse in terms of actually teaching you what to do. I've gone back to the earlier tutorials and they're so basic that I really can't try anything new on them. I've done as much of the other areas as possible, minus the end game, and that has helped somewhat with my understand of the tetris stuff. but this new type of block just eludes me.

@davidh219: Here's a picture of it. I don't really understand the concept of it. It doesn't seem reflected in the previous panels.
