A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

There is a bit more story in Inside but it’s still kind of on the back burner a bit. The main allure, at least for me, is the constant “what the fuck is happening here” I’m constantly asking myself whenever I enter a new area. At the end of the day, it’s a short game, it’s cheap to buy, and if you don’t like it you can always refund it on steam. By the time you’re two hours in, you’ll know by that point if you’ll like the rest of the game or not. Or if you’re really good at puzzle platformers you could probably even finish it within the refund window, though I wouldn’t recommend doing that.
