Inner Chains
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.

I'm amazed at how this game has mixed reviews. Is it perfect? Definitely not, but there's a good experience to be had here. The game itself is very short, with only 4 chapters to play (roughly 3 hours). The premise and art style are really interesting, it feels like a precursor to Scorn, just with some fps action consistently mixed in and not just vaguely mixed in. My only real complaint about this game is the running. Holy fuck, why can you only run for 3 seconds at a time, and the speed of your running is the equivalent to slow walking in any other game??! Aside from that, there are moments where the frame rate dips, but nothing that breaks the game or the immersion. Also, the tombs that you find in the game are a very cool addition, but I thought it was extremely annoying how there's repeats throughout the game, especially at the end. You would do certain things to find the next tomb, only to realize it's one you've done already and you just wasted your time. (I'm still missing 2!)
Somewhat a spoiler: The ending was really anticlimactic. Boss fight felt like it had no real thought put into it, imo, and it didn't feel as impactful as it probably seemed on paper. The similarities to Scorn are endless! xD
