The value story

August 2023 is where it bottomed out, at $4.49. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 48 in the 6 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 9 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 80 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 92 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Mouthwashing ($12.99, scores 71) beats it on value, while it beats Home ($4.99, scores 17).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 12 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 3.8-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 6 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 63 percent of the 302 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.

3.8 hours to finish it, 8 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.0 times the campaign.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 3.8 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say

A deeply interesting world and story that kept me going. Inmost is not a very long game, that's part of the reason I decided to pick it up. On top of that the pixel art was captivating and beautiful to look at. The story was the meat of the matter for me as it kept me engaged and left me wanting more. The gameplay can be slow at times but generally provides an easy to understand path way through puzzle solving and...

Amazing game. Huge trigger warning if you are dealing with or are dealing with someone that has a mental illness. It hit hard for me, but that is what I loved that about this game. I do hope they drop a second one covering a different another illness.

When I was climbing a mountain in China I thought I was lost but then I saw a wise man and asked where am I and he said "You're at INMOST" and then I understand than I'm at PEAK
