About the game

Soar through virgin skies and dive into lost oceans as you hunt for the ancient gods of the Inverse, a forsaken realm of inside-out planets. Created by a small team of seven developers and originally funded on Kickstarter, InnerSpace is a bright, colorful exploration flying game with no horizons.
Description from the Steam store page.
Minimum specs

Minimum on the Steam store: 8 GB of memory, Nvidia GPU GeForce GTX 650 / AMD GPU Radeon HD 6850 / Intel Iris Pro 5200, 5 GB of storage. Runs on Windows, macOS, Linux.

The value story

60 discounts in the 9 years on record, a median of 80 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 94 percent. On the same math AER Memories of Old ($1.49, scores 75) and Flower ($1.39, scores 56) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

You're flying around with 3 dimensional movement in a world that has no real defineable up or down. It's going to be a little bit complicated. But feels intuitive enough to me, at least once I disabled inverted controls. The...

The name says it all INNER SPACE. The way the world is right now, this game is perfect for relaxation and lowering of your cortisol levels. Highly recommend for people arguing about politics or in a dark place. Find some inner peace with Inner Space.

I stuck with it to the end. 100% achievements. I didn't hate it. (I should go into marketing, yeah?) While I sort of understood the task of collecting things, it felt like I never really got a grasp of how things worked. Lots of traveling through areas where I never could really get my bearings, lots of backtracking wondering what the hell was going on. (Could be me being less than brilliant, to be sure.) I can't...
