Great games don’t need dialogue to tell a story, and Inside proves that with its eerie, atmospheric world. If you’ve been meaning to dive into one of the most critically acclaimed indie platformers of the last decade, now’s your chance—Playdead’s Inside is currently available for just $1.99 on Steam, thanks to a 90% discount.
Originally released in 2016, Inside is a spiritual successor to Limbo (also discounted by 90% right now), which is another highly regarded game from the same developer. It takes players through a dark, dystopian world, where a young boy must solve physics-based puzzles and dodge numerous threats. Unlike traditional platformers, Inside relies on atmospheric storytelling, immersing players in a bleak yet mesmerizing environment with zero dialogue—just subtle environmental clues.
The game holds an "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating from over 59,000 reviews on Steam, with many players praising its moody art style, sound design, and rewarding puzzles. On Metacritic, Inside boasts an impressive 93 score, making it one of the best-reviewed indie games in recent years.
If you're someone who enjoys story-rich adventures, minimalist art styles, and engaging platforming mechanics, Inside is undoubtedly a must-play. With only a few days left before the discount expires, this is an excellent opportunity to grab a critically acclaimed indie gem for under $2.
