Insight (2024)

When I played the demo for this game awhile back, I had high hopes for the full release. While I am a few months late playing it, I was not disappointed! The sound design and atmosphere is what made this game for me I think. While there are a few jump-scares to be found, this game avoids the "Loud = Scary" path that I really despise. This game not only avoids that, but several times in my play-through I was spooked by scares that didn't have sounds involved in them at all. The story is super dark, but I was interested in discovering it form start to finish. My only complaints of the game are: - The text when characters speak moves to quickly. Sometimes you click to progress dialogue, other times it moves by so fast that you can't finish reading! While there is an option to speed up text, one to also slow it down would have been nice. - Minor Spoilers: When looking for a place to hide an item, it took me awhile of just looking at literally everything and spamming interact to find it. Was a bit meh! Other than that, for a indie horror game, it's a solid 4.5/5 for me. Spooky, good story, not super forgettable either.

Insight is a compact, story-driven horror mystery that places narrative focus and atmosphere well above mechanical complexity. Developed by GravelRoad and published by PaperPixel Games, the experience is designed to feel less like a conventional game and more like an interactive psychological thriller—one that unfolds through observation, interpretation, and quiet unease rather than action or spectacle. From the outset, Insight establishes a deliberate, intimate tone, drawing players into a tightly controlled scenario where every detail feels purposeful and nothing overstays its welcome. The story begins with a disturbing incident: gunshots echo through a residential area, police arrive to find two bodies, and an unexplained absence immediately complicates the case. Rather than presenting a straightforward investigation, Insight gradually reveals its mystery through shifting perspectives and fragmented storytelling. Players do not simply follow a single protagonist from start to finish; instead, control shifts between different characters connected to the 사건, each offering partial truths and subjective viewpoints. This structure reinforces the game’s core theme: that understanding…

I mostly enjoyed this. Some of the scenes are well done and fun in a low-fi horror kind of way. But the more I played the more frustrated I got. Especially when I realized I was very close to gather all achievements. It's a very short game. Once you know what to look for and how the scenes are supposed to play out you can complete this game in about an hour. If you want a quick story game to walk through grab this on sale.

Genuinely, one of the worst games I'd ever played. Not only is the story relatively mediocre, but holy hell this entire game is filled with different bugs that require a restart each time.

It is such a good game! I played it to make sure I got all the endings. It was an amazing storyline and more!
