An FPS horror game set in a surreal, dark and deadly biomechanical world never seen before.
One does not get to set the rules in the world of Inner Chains. Humankind is just a small part of a hostile universe. Want to survive? Discover its secrets.
A planet in the distant future. A rock floating in space that is no longer what it had once been. Without human interference, nature has been adapting to the new conditions, reclaiming what was once taken away. In its pursuit of perfection, it began to assimilate with the abandoned technology giving life to biomechanical beings.
Left to its own devices, man-made technology has also changed as it tried to adjust to the new environment. A strong symbiosis soon developed between technology and nature. It became difficult to determine what is alive and what is mechanical in the world of Inner Chains.

Overall a very short game. First play through only last ~3 hr. with breaks. Got all but one achievements. might go back through and find the last one at a later date. Over all it is a walking sim with bad AI and FPS mechanics. I loved the art style of the game. Would lag randomly for seemingly no reason. If this goes on sale and you have nothing else to play go for it.

Half-Life biomechanics.
It's a stylised shooter, containing mazelike environments that eventually lead you out where you need to be.
Aside from shooting, there's an emphasis on exploration in the action of collecting alphabet.
This will allow you to read lore tablets scattered around the environment. These tablets and the letters themselves are duplicate to find. They're very light on lore as is the story. I, for one, couldn't tell you coherently what transpired during my playthrough. It seems like you get condemned for breaking a rule, that wasn't of your own accord, so you end up taking down the system at your last stand. This post is a much better alternative to interpret.
You get 3 weapons; tesla, flamer and a nail gun. Eventually finding an alternate fire upgrade, which is some kind of AOE burst. Those are satisfactory.
Deadly fauna as well as your enemy variants will be more susceptible to certain weapon.
The enemy and level/story pacing design scream half-life to me.
Performance will dip at times but it's nothing major. Particularly the starting area is the worst it was for me.
Once you embrace the initial jank complete experience jank it could be good. Overall I fuchs with it.
Chances are if you enjoy a game like Agony, you might like this. It's not as good tbh
*Turn off the music, there's only one horrible combat track in there that doesn't fit in with the atmosphere at all. It will play every time you shoot at something and it dies.

As a whole if you like using interesting guns in a unique immersive dark world and can bear with mediocre combat and unfulfilling story, there is joy to be found in the game.

Really unique and beautiful game in a really strange and unique setting. Wish the devs would make an open world exploration RPG in the same setting/world. Highly Recommended!
