About Inner Chains
✦ AI summary
Blast your way through a grotesque biomechanical world where nature and abandoned technology have fused into nightmarish lifeforms in this dark FPS that demands careful observation and tactical survival. Uncover the sinister truth behind your fanatical mission to escape a dying planet while discovering that nothing—including reality itself—is what it seems.
An FPS horror game set in a surreal, dark and deadly biomechanical world never seen before.
One does not get to set the rules in the world of Inner Chains. Humankind is just a small part of a hostile universe. Want to survive? Discover its secrets.
A planet in the distant future. A rock floating in space that is no longer what it had once been. Without human interference, nature has been adapting to the new conditions, reclaiming what was once taken away. In its pursuit of perfection, it began to assimilate with the abandoned technology giving life to biomechanical beings.
Left to its own devices, man-made technology has also changed as it tried to adjust to the new environment. A strong symbiosis soon developed between technology and nature. It became difficult to determine what is alive and what is mechanical in the world of Inner Chains.
After several million years of biomechanical evolution, mankind once again became an important part of the ecosystem. However, it hasn’t regained an advanced stage of development. As a result, the human race, oblivious to its own history, cannot fully comprehend or control the powerful technology at its disposal. The people living in the world of Inner Chains take this situation for granted and focus on using the planet’s resources to their advantage. There is also something that has not changed through the millennia: humans are still subject to basic social issues such as faith, dominance, oppression and manipulation. This led to the emergence of multiple castes, and, in consequence, to the supremacy of one particular group. They had discovered these mechanisms first, learned how to use them well that helped them rise to power. Others had to submit.
As one of the inhabitants of this world, your head is filled with the teachings of the Ruling Caste. Your only goal is to get to a mythical place called the Last Hope and leave this degenerated, dying planet once and for all. You embark on your journey full of fanatical zeal, but soon it becomes clear that nothing is what it seems in this strange world. You have to fight for survival, face hostile fauna and flora, and overcome your own weaknesses. You need to stay observant to your surroundings and explore the secrets of the game’s world. Your survival depends entirely on your watchfulness, logical judgment, quick reflexes, accuracy and the ability to use the environment to your advantage.

The world and visuals are a striking nightmare, but the gameplay keeps snapping me out of it. It looks great, but it never feels quite as good to play as it looks.15 found this helpful
this is a very unique game with some really exciting artwork and atmosphere. Its constantly attacking your senses and keeping you on edge. i havent finished it yet but i really ;like it i hope there is a part 22 found this helpful
Insufferable camera sway when the character is not moving is a crime. Whoever made it, please stop making games. And that's it, it's enough for me to not recommend the game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ although the world design is good and I really wanted to play the game. But the nauseating camera is an instant nope the ef out.1 found this helpful
This is one strange game with no explanation at all and no sense of objective. 35/1001 found this helpful
If you are looking for a walking simulator with a good environments, this is the game. You just walk through an HR Giger inspired landscape, but is not a copy paste of the art style, a mix between flesh and mechanical fusion. I don't think you can follow the story when the only places to read it needs a cypher and the only way you get the "key" is looking for tablets that get you achievements. I think if you are interested in the art and the atmosphere, give it a try. Otherwise this is not a must play. Don't expect anything more than intriguing art.1 found this helpful
