INMOST Haunting Mobile Devices This Halloween: Pixel Art Horror Comes to iOS & Android
[URGENT: October 24, 2023] Prepare to be chilled to the bone. For fans of deeply immersive, narrative-driven experiences, the award-winning atmospheric horror game INMOST is making its way to mobile devices just in time for Halloween. This is a significant release for indie game enthusiasts and mobile gamers seeking a truly unique and unsettling experience. This breaking news confirms a launch date of October 28th for both iOS and Android platforms, with pre-registration now open.
A Darkly Beautiful World Unlocks on Mobile
Developed by the Lithuanian studio Hidden Layer Games, INMOST isn’t your typical jump-scare horror. It’s a meticulously crafted experience blending action, puzzle-solving, and platforming within a stunning pixel art environment. The game has already captivated over 1.2 million players on other platforms, earning critical acclaim for its emotional depth and haunting atmosphere. Now, a new audience will have the chance to explore its secrets on the go.
Three Characters, One Interwoven Story
Players will navigate the game’s disturbing narrative through the eyes of three distinct protagonists: a gentleman wielding a hook and beak, a young girl uncovering secrets within a haunted house, and a vagabond searching for answers in a decaying world. Each character boasts a unique playstyle, demanding players adapt to different combat mechanics, puzzle solutions, and tool usage – from scythes to gates and spikes – to survive the horrors that await.
More Than Just a Game: An Emotional Journey
INMOST is designed to be experienced in a single sitting, lasting approximately 3-5 hours. But it’s not about speedrunning; it’s about immersion. The game encourages exploration, secret-hunting, and a careful consideration of the environment. It’s a game that aims to stay with you long after you’ve put it down, prompting reflection on its themes and the emotional weight of its story. The developers have also ensured accessibility for a global audience, with the game localized into 14 languages.
Chucklefish Continues its Indie Game Legacy
The mobile port is being published by Chucklefish, a London-based editorial team known for championing quality indie titles like Starbound, Wargroove, and Stardew Valley. Their commitment to pixel art and supporting talented studios like Hidden Layer Games has solidified their reputation within the gaming community. This partnership signals a bright future for both companies and a continued stream of compelling indie experiences for players.
