Unmasked: An Inner Journey receives praise for its beautiful visuals, enjoyable level design, and creative boss fights that blend platforming with puzzle elements, alongside a compelling narrative revealed through cutscenes during gameplay.

[h1] Quick Review [/h1] "Unmasked: An Inner Journey" is a short platforming game that let's you unveil it's story using small chunks of the levels to display it. The game has some good ideas when it comes to level design and boss fights, making the simple gameplay mechanics implemented stay enjoyable during the playthrough. [u] (Playthrough/Gameplay of the game) [/u] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9MElnuj67U If this quick review isn't useful to you maybe the following "extended version" could help ^^ [h3] The good [/h3] [list] [*]Really good visuals [*]Basic and simple level design when it comes to the platforming sections, but this is good, the game makes them work perfectly, it seems to me that the devs went this way instead of innovating too much to have a coherent scope of what they could do and it ended up working great. [*]The game has a pretty cool and clean UI that makes the game really enjoyable. [/list] [h3] The bad [/h3] [list] [*]The story it's okay but I felt that it was short and could have been developed further. [/list] [h3] Things that might help you decide [/h3] [list] [*]Game it's quite short and can be beaten in 1.5/2h. [/list] [h3] F…4 found this helpful
Unmasked: An Inner Journey is a fun and short 2D Adventure platformers, you will understand the story as you play through where a small cutscene will show up of your memories in the background. The combat is really nice with lots of platforming challenges and some small puzzle tests. The boss fights had some fun challenge as well as the soundtracks. The only issue I faced throughout the game was the down attack button, the attack wasn't not triggering properly even though I was timing my button pressing. I had to smash the 2 buttons together in a quick manners in order for it to trigger which was a bit tough as well due to the need of it in some platforming sections. Other than the above, the gameplay and combat was flawless, really loved the game. This game is truly a hidden underrated Gem that needs to be discovered more. Overall Rating 9/102 found this helpful
Do you remember your younger self? Remember playing Rayman or Mario? That wonderful feel! Unmasked: Inner Journey is beautifully made game. Enjoyed visual and flow of gameplay a lot. New mechanics, riddles, abilities each chapter. Every level feels unique. Somewhere mid game even fights become some sorts of riddles which I liked quite much. As for negative side it's button registration. I use dual shock gamepad and game didn't recognized inputs when jumping or doing some jumps with dashes. Game is also a bit short. Finished it in 2.5 hours Did I enjoy it? Absolutely. Beautiful visual and existing flow. Waiting for new games from dev1 found this helpful
Well done, keep it up! This definitely deserves your attention
Seems like "jumping puzzles" only.
