GameSkinnySarah EllimanDec 20176/10 starsHorror feels as though it has been heading on a downwards spiral for a while. With the release of Inmates we see whether the next batch of horror games can revive the genre.

GameWatcherEmma MatthewsOct 20173/10Inmates had ambitious intentions and a few good ideas, but these were not executed well at all. Fear and thrills were extinguished by the questionable 'shaking head' effect and the game's puzzles remained overly simplistic and did not feel challenging or rewarding to complete. In addition, I encountered a number of bugs that stopped me from progressing, at points. While this game may be attractively short for some, I cannot recommend the experience.

cublikefootClaire FerrinOct 20174/10Inmates is a relatively average horror game overall. There is an actually decent story in there and the puzzles were somewhat fun, but I do not think it was worth the time in the end.
