About Into the Dangerous World I Leapt

You know him: he is near you: point him out:
Shall I see glories beaming from his brow?
Or trace his footsteps by the rising flowers?


The year is 1801 and the industrial revolution is in full swing. Cotton mills are being built all over England, with children providing the cheap workforce. You play as Idony, a small girl who just started working at one of these factories alongside her brother, Edus. One day you wake up and Edus is gone.

Into the Dangerous World I Leapt is a surreal first person puzzle game inspired by the works of William Blake. In it, you travel between two worlds, just like flipping a coin.
  • 1-2 hours of explorative gameplay.
  • Travel between two worlds and discover the secrets of The Factory.
  • Talk to angels, faces, and your fellow workers.
  • Solve puzzles and help the denizens of both worlds.
  • Pay the meat toll to enter the meat hall.
  • Stay away from The Beast.

[i]Into the Dangerous World I Leapt[/i] is an obscure exploration game where you explore and collect, interact, and by the end, hide. The order, activities, and what belongs to what is not obvious at all. The area being freely explorable adds to the confusion when it's not clear where you have to go. There's no guidance or help. In the end, I needed to peek into a walkthrough guide multiple times. At the end, the being chased and hiding mechanic was very frustrating as well, with no clear influence on how to evade where you need to go. The absurd fantasy world is interesting. Everything else was lacking. (bug) Text getting stuck and no longer being able to read text behind text didn't help in what was going on. For a free title, still worthwhile if you can stomach or forgive the annoyances.

[h1]Summary[/h1] Very short free creepy surreal adventure puzzle game focused on its story. [b]Pros[/b] + Interesting surrealism [b]Cons[/b] - No saves [h1]Overview[/h1] into the dangerous world i leapt is a free and very short creepy surreal adventure game mostly focused on its story, although there are parts to the story/lore that isn't directly explained leaving you with unanswered questions by the end. The game mostly relies on its main mechanic where you switch between worlds to explore and find solutions to puzzles to progress the story. While exploring and moving about the factory you will quickly learn that there is a bit of jank when it comes to opening doors and windows, best way to explain is that sometimes you either pull or push depending on which side you're on as they only open one way. While playing I did encounter a bug where I somehow lost an item I needed to progress and it forced me to replay from the start as there is no saves and must be finished in one sitting. Achievement is simple, just finish the game. [hr][/hr] If you find my reviews useful do follow my [b][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/11028547-Dods-Echo-Chamber/]Curator[/url][/b] page …

I loved this game!! Outside of some relatively minor bugs, the game runs smoothly and the story and world are quite interesting! I can't believe it was free, honestly. Definitely give it a try if you like these kinds of games!!

It’s a very technically simple game of running around and interacting with objects, and it does feel kinda barebones, but it’s decent for a free game and with quite a bit of content.
