  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of *inside: before birth* is criticized for being extremely short and lacking depth, resembling more of a demo than a complete game. It features minimal narrative elements, such as a simple text introduction and static cartoon visuals for the ending, leading many to view it as a cash grab rather than a fully realized horror experience. Overall, the plot is deemed lazy and insufficient for the price charged.

    • “The story is laughably short, more akin to a demo than a fully released product and has no business charging any amount of money in its current state.”
    • “Book-ended by a text card for an introduction and some monotone cartoon stills for an ending, forgoing even the formality of a title screen, you can't really yell at inside: before birth for having a lazy plot because that's really like yelling at a monkey for not having wings.”
    • “Yet another 20-ish minute cash-grab jump scare key fetch quest 'horror' game.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is criticized for being short and lacking depth, with users noting that it offers less than 30 minutes of experience for a low price of $3. Overall, it seems to fall short in terms of plot and tension, leaving players wanting more.

    • “If you are okay with spending $3 for less than 30 minutes of gameplay, you can do worse on Steam.”
    • “The plot, the gameplay, the tension, it was never going to be there.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is criticized for being buggy and plagued by audio issues, particularly with sound triggers that activate independently of the player's perspective. While it has fewer clipping problems than a similar title, it still suffers from significant stability concerns that detract from the overall experience.

    • “If I could actually return this and get my money back, I would give it to whoever could make any sense of this buggy 20-minute jump scare demo.”
    • “Fair dues, it has less clipping issues and glitches than 'Rothschild: The Sheep Will Awake', which also uses this engine, but it suffers from the same problem where you get sound triggers that I assume are jumpscares happening, but they trigger regardless of where the player's field of view is, so you just get stabs of audio.”
  • atmosphere
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is highly praised, with multiple users noting that it effectively immerses players in its environment.

    • “Really sets the atmosphere.”
  • replayability
