The Beast Inside
The Beast Inside is a unique, gripping twist on thriller and survival horror. The game mixes intriguing story-driven adventure with unnerving survival horror experience. Immerse in the tale of long-buried secrets, personal tragedies, and madness. Play as two protagonists living in different centuries but bounded by dark heritage. Boston, 1979, Adam, the CIA cryptanalyst, leaves the city and moves to the countryside with his wife, Emma. His handlers are afraid they won’t be able to keep him safe there, but Adam believes he needs a peaceful place in the woodland, to take a shot at the military code. His work may alter the course of the Cold War. As it turns out, this area is quite the opposite of a peaceful place they have expected… In the attic Adam finds a mysterious diary written by a man called Nicolas Hyde, allegedly, a past resident of the same house who lived there in the 19th Century. Once opened, the diary carries the nightmares of the past right into Adam’s times, putting the lives of Adam and Emma in great danger. Density increases as these two stories come to an inevitable crash. Distant past and his eternal prisoner – Nicolas against Adam, cryptanalyst from the Cold War. What can it lead to? In tangled times, who will you trust?

What an Awesome game,
i find the beast inside one of those story games that i can't forget i had an incredible time playing it.
the storytelling is Amazing the idea of connecting the past and the present is truly impressive and well done, The ending actually shocked me, the voice acting is great, and the cutscenes are decent, though some of the cutscenes were unintentionally funny for me not gonna lie. but it’s an indie game, so I’m not complaining.
and oh man, the world building is just phenomenal and fantastic, in every part of this game i find myself staring at the Amazing world graphics that is full with details.
If you can catch it on a discount and it does go for about $2 sometimes. I’d highly recommend picking it up. It’s an unforgettable game that’s well worth your time

I would not call it a survival horror, it's more like a story driven adventure game with horror elements.
The gameplay is fine, the story keeps getting better and better despite a boring start.
The horror unfortunately mainly relies on jumpscares, which become predictable after a while.

The Beast Inside is a first-person horror game. The game puts you on the trail of an unsolved murder, yet it was made over a hundred years ago. Along the way, you will come across many mysteries, sometimes intriguing, sometimes scary.
We find a lot of influence for this game, starting with Penumbra / Amnesia for the interactions and puzzles, Alan Wake for the investigation phases in broad daylight and the horrific phases at night, and also Outlast or Alien Isolation for the detector.
After all these references, does the game have its own identity? Absolutely, the scenario is really good, quickly we expect something close to the movie Shutter Island, where everything is only in the head of the protagonist but in fact not completely, there is much more reality than we think. The technique is correct, the gameplay is really varied and very good, between phases of investigations, puzzles, day, night where we stress and freak out a lot thanks to the atmosphere, phases where we have to escape our pursuers, the sound design is very good. The game ends in about ten hours but if you want to see the different endings, count about twenty hours (because the game does not have a chapter selection which could tire more than one).

Overall a great game if you can get it on sale. I got it for $3 dollars. I would be happy to pay $8 or less for this game. The game has a decent story and interactions instead of just having the basic popup scares and chases. The puzzles can be a bit challenging but never less i was happy with this game!

Superb game. Puzzles can be too complex but the horror and survival elements are too good. This game took me by surprise.

I had an incredible time playing The Beast Inside!
I haven't had any exceptions with this game; it hooked me from the moment it connected the past and the present. It's fascinating how two seemingly different individuals are actually linked to each other despite the decades that separate them. The voice acting is sensational and exceptionally well done. Also, I’m not really someone who gets frightened that easily, but it has made me struggle with even boss fights. Nevertheless, It is truly a sad ending for both characters. I delved into this dark and somewhat psychological horror game and I fell in love with it!
The narrative unfolds seamlessly, illustrating how severe trauma can lead to two distinct personalities existing within a single body.
The beast is merely a darker version of oneself, created to protect oneself. Hence why the beast defended both Adam and Nickolas. I found a quote in Nicolas’s room that resonated with me: "Everyone I meet has two faces. One is human, the other is a face of a beast."
I can't believe a game like this went unnoticed. It’s truly underrated. I would give it a 100/100 and highly recommend it! It’s now on my favorite games list. -ˋˏ ༻ ♡ ༺ ˎˊ-
