INMOST: Critically Acclaimed Puzzle Platformer Jumps to Mobile

The multi-award-winning, emotional puzzle platformer INMOST has officially launched pre-registration for global release on mobile devices. Developed by Hidden Layer Games and published by Chucklefish, the game is now available for download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store (Android). This launch brings the atmospheric pixel art adventure to a massive new audience across the globe. Players can finally experience the haunting and deeply personal story that has already captivated over 1.2 million players worldwide on PC and Nintendo Switch.

Three Characters, One Dark, Interconnected Story

INMOST is a cinematic experience woven through the lives of three distinct playable characters. Though their stories appear separate at first, they are all tragically linked to a single, overarching narrative about suffering, sacrifice, and the emotional core of a young girl.

The Stoic Knight: This character engages in the game’s combat sections. The Knight battles his way through the depths of a crumbling, deteriorating castle. Players use a scythe and a hookshot.
The Young Girl (Child): These sections focus primarily on exploration and solving environmental puzzles within an eerie, large house. The gameplay here is slow-paced and relies on atmosphere and discovery.
The Silent Wanderer (Man): This character traverses a nightmarish, crumbling landscape. His sections are focused on complex puzzle solving and avoiding deadly enemies. He cannot fight directly but uses tools and wits to progress.

The story is highly intimate, exploring heavy themes of loss, grief, and hope. Developers intended the entire 3-5 hour emotional story to be experienced in a single sitting, preferably on a dark, stormy night.

Haunting Atmosphere and Unique Gameplay Blend

The game’s aesthetic is one of its most praised features. The hauntingly atmospheric pixel art uses light and shadow masterfully. This creates a melancholic and unsettling vibe throughout the entire experience.

Genre Blend: INMOST successfully blends different genres. It has the slow-burn emotional terror of a horror game, the environmental challenges of a puzzle game, and the precise movement of a platformer.
Mechanics: Players must use lethal traps to lure and eliminate enemies. They must solve complex environmental puzzles. Tools like the scythe, hookshot, and pickaxe are crucial for surviving the otherworldly labyrinth.
Availability: The mobile version offers players an opportunity to try the beginning of the game for free. The full game can then be purchased via an in-app purchase.

This launch ensures that more players can immerse themselves in the deep and unforgettable emotional journey that critics have praised as both beautiful and eerie.
