About the game
Inmates is a story-driven, atmospheric psychological horror game. Featuring interactive exploration in a suffocating location, mind-bending puzzles and disturbing imagery. You wake up in a run-down prison cell and have no clue how you got there. You’ve convinced yourself this is all just a nightmare...

What players say
I think there's so much hidden in this game by the author. I found a lot of interesting stuff, but I'm sure it's not everything!
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
This is the developer's first game, I played the second one a month ago. Both games are truly great and unique in their stories.
It's playable, but just felt like a bunch of copy & pasted horror elements from other games in an uninteresting manner (There was one jumpscare that got me pretty good though).
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic).
