The Inner World is a place Robert has never been....until today that is! Robert has lived his entire life in the tower high above the city as the abbot Conroy's apprentice. Today as fate would have it, a mischievous pigeon named Peck has swallowed Conroy's medallion amulet. Robert doesn't hesitate to chase after Peck who scurried down the garbage chute that leads to Asposian, a unusual world in which the wind has ceased to exist!

This is a hand drawn adventure game unlike no other, it's very slow moving as you are tasked with guiding Robert every step of the way. Everyone Robert meets is important, and everything Robert finds has a purpose, eventually. Items that can be interacted with will have a dot that when clicked on will give you the choice of a magnifying glass which means Robert investigates the item and states the obvious, a hand which means Robert will pick up the item (if something is needed in order to pick up the item Robert will say something witty such as "it's too greasy to pick up) if you click on the gears, it will allow you to click and drag on an inventory item necessary to complete the task. Some inventory items need to be combined before using, this can be done by dragging one inventory item to the other.

When Robert meets different characters along the way, he soon realizes that everybody wants something and nothing's free. Characters have a great deal of information, as the character carries on a conversation, icon's appear relating to the subjects that are being talked about. You can choose these icons in any order you want to try and figure out what it will take to make that person happy, where to find items that relate to what they want, and how to go about getting these necessary items. When you think you have extracted enough information from them you click on the X to exit the conversation, but don't worry you can always return to delve deeper into the conversation.

There's no hand holding in this game, if you get stuck, you can choose to receive a hint if you click on the question mark at the top of the screen. Several topics will appear (if you have progressed enough to have multiple tasks to accomplish) you choose the topic you are stuck on and a vague answer will be given to point you in the right direction. If you are still confused as to what needs to be done next, you can continue clicking to receive more in depth answers until you are practically told where to go and what to do when you get there.

This is a slow moving cartoonish adventure where you will meet sarcasm at it's best. You will quickly relate to Robert's character and learn from him as you go along. There are no HOP's or puzzles to tinker with, just an adventure that leads to a seemingly never ending quest to find the elusive pigeon! This is one of those games you're going to have to play before buying to see if it's right for your taste, enjoy! Show less

I recommend this game!

This is a stunning game if you recognize that it is not the same as anything else you have played. It is a bit like the old narrative only games and a bit like some other odd problem solving games but it is not quite any of them. There are no lush graphics.

This is a stunning game if you recognize that it is not the same as anything else you have played. It is a bit like the old narrative only games and a bit like some other odd problem solving games but it is not quite any of them. There are no lush graphics. There are hilarious cartoon characterizations though and they are exactly right for the game. You can try to win -- but it won't matter because the fun is in the playing not in solving the puzzles first. In fact, if you quickly solve a problem you miss all the witty conversations.

You will end up having to do exactly what is planned but everything in the scene has a possibility of being something you need now or later. Talk to everyone until you have milked every topic dry and you will learn things and enjoy yourself enormously. If you are wanting a game much like another you have played this is not it. If you want a game that turns out like having conversations with a troupe of traveling actors who are pulling your leg all the time than this is it.

You cannot lose in this game. If you use the tutorial it will lead you step by step so you don't have to figure anything out to solve it. But I promise you some of the things you will try will make your character look like an idiot. He will anyway so dive in and splash around. Play this when you have lots of time to invest because it is killer hard to stop playing once you start. Show less

I recommend this game!

I enjoy adventure games...but this one...is one of the better games. It can be very challenging at times...but offer's great tips. So, don't let this scare you away from trying it.

Even if your not an adventure game lover...this is a must try for sure. It will capture your heart with charm and wit. And it's something different...than the usual stare and click away. It's quite unique.

I highly recommend this game and most definitely encourage everyone to at the very least, try it!! Great job to the Developers for a quality game...that is very well done. Enjoy...I know I will and hope it brings a smile and laughter to everyone else. Show less

Love the interaction with the characters you come across. (Be warned lots of dialogue, but easily skipped). Lots of thinking is needed with this game, but do not worry if you get stuck, the answers are provided thankfully. Played half hour before I pushed the buy button.

Lots of combining objects to make others. Graphics cartoon style.

This game will not be for everyone, but me personally I love it .

This is a fun, at your own pace adventure game. Lots of things to explore and a heck of a lot of questions to cycle through ahd ask of every character you meet in the game. Clearly the game writers wanted to write a novel but decided to turn it into a game instead because there is a lot of story, a lot of dialogue and even a lot of mindless banter, and the opening animation is very long in general for a bgifish game. But it's a great storyline set in an imaginative and original world. A lot of thought went into this game, which isn't immediately evident from the crude animations. The voice actors are great - the main character reminds me of a young Wallace from Wallace and Gromit and I love that. I'll buy this one. Show less

If you enjoy cute games and have a sense of humor, you will enjoy this. I like to read several reviews of a game before I try it and there is always one category I check when I read a persons review, especially if the review is bad. Nearly all of those people chiming in with terrible reviews only post reviews when they complain and nearly all of them are negative...so I completely ignore them and chalk them up to people with miserable dispositions and no sense of humor. Look for yourselves and you will see that most people, who give 1 star, will have given 1 star to 60-90% of all the games they review and are only trivializing and complaining about the efforts of hard working artists who only want to entertain people...Do yourselves and the developers a favor when you read the reviews...hover over the names of the persons review and take note of their fairness. Are they giving credit where credit is due or are they simply using their reviews to constantly complain and are never satisfied. Have fun today! Show less

The Inner World is a quirky, hysterical game that is very entertaining and after only a short time I had to stop and purchase it. Our hero Robert is the adopted son of Conroy who is the head guru of Robert’s little world. After a run-in with a very smart pigeon who steals Conroy’s special amulet, Robert is off on his own adventure to catch the little winged thief.

The graphics are cartoonish in style but the dialog and voiceovers bring the characters to life. The dialog is so comical that I found myself continuously laughing. The in-game manual is almost a must so that you can figure out the logistics on how to combine inventory items. The hint system is quite good and offers the nudge you might need in steps. If you can’t figure out what to do after the first hint, you can click the arrow and it drops down another hint and then more if needed.

This is an amazing and creative game – one that I haven’t found in ages. Gone are the glitzy graphics that have been replaced by the cartoon characters. The Inner World is a must have game for those who are looking for an adventure style game that is so different than the polished games we always see where we are basically hand-fed during our adventures. With The Inner World you will have to put on your thinking cap and figure out what to do step by step. I love this game and can highly recommend it for those of you looking for something different. As always, I recommend that you try the demo to see if this is a game you will enjoy. Show less

This game reminded me about the Tiny Bang story (which I think is a great game, too), but the story line in The Inner World is much better than in TBS. This is not a HOG. You have to solve problems in order to proceed with the story.
The game solving is challenging and I had to use the hints more than once but not to an extend that made me feel frustrated. The characters are unique and lovable, each one of them (of course except the villain).
The dialogues are fun with a great sense of humor and the voice overs are very pleasant and done quite well.
This game was worth every cent and I recommend it for everyone who wants to be challenged by thinking out of the box.
I never had more fun to save the world than with this game. Show less

Love the dialogue, love the characters and story, and love that it is a pretty traditional P&C. You need to have patience and put some time in for the problem solving but if you are a fan of the old style adventure games I definitely recommend you give this a whirl. I even love the art style. It may not be the most advanced graphically but the style is unique and captivating. Show less

The hero, Robert, is utterly naive and charming. The voice acting is superb, and the dialogue is well written. The storyline is quirky, and everything that is whimsical, and it drew me in immediately.

The difficulty of the puzzles varies, and there is a great hint system available if you're in need of help.

Seriously folks, what a charming game this is! If you are a fan of the old school point and click adventure games, definitely try this one out. If you've never experienced a point and click adventure game, definitely try this demo - it will make you a fan.

I definitely recommend. Show less
