DARK PUZZLE PLATFORMER ‘INMOST’ HITS OVER 1 MILLION PLAYER MILESTONE AHEAD OF MOBILE LAUNCH

With a mobile release and Halloween just around the corner, what better time than now to share that spooky atmospheric puzzle platformer ‘INMOST’ has reached a huge 1.2 million players! However, their emotionally charged tale was one that almost didn’t get told at all.

“Before we made INMOST, Alexey and I were struggling to make ends meet as contract game developers. Not only were we facing losing our business, but also our homes as we were on work visas.” says Andriy Vinchokovskiy, Technical Director Hidden layer Games.

“I had sunk into a deep depression after burning out creating match 3 titles. We’d already said goodbye to our friends and packed our bags, but with nothing to lose, we started working on our dream game - a dark pixel art title.” says Alexey Testov, Art Director of Hidden Layer Games “We were so laser focused on creating something playable that I had even forgotten my own birthday. It was worth it though, the demo went on to win us $30,000 at the DevGamm Awards. Enough to save our business, and ourselves from deportation.”

“It’s crazy to think that since then 1.2 million people have played INMOST, and we’re really excited for the mobile launch on the 28th so we can speak with more players about the themes that matter to us. More than a few have told us the finale brought them to tears, and we hope that new players find it just as meaningful and moving”

Currently available for pre-registration, INMOST will be dropping on to Android and iOS stores October 28th.
