If the weekend sales haven't given you enough reason to bloat your backlog a little more, Playdead has made a demo available for their latest puzzle platformer 'INSIDE' available through Steam.
It doesn't take more than a single glance to know who's behind 'INSIDE'. The dark adventure game isn't quite as eerie as Playdead's last 2D puzzle platformer - LIMBO- but it's still rather gloomy. And with the recent removal of the controversial Denuvo DRM system, playing through one of summer's most anticipated titles is now a little more viable.
In an age of blockbuster cinematic titles and million-selling farming simulators, sometimes hearkening back to the days of an atmospheric side-scroller is a tough sell for the masses. Though there's no denying both Limbo and INSIDE struck a cord with press and public alike, a demo and a slight discount might be exactly what the title needs to carry on pushing that 'Overwhelmingly Positive' review average ever higher.
Shortly after the release of INSIDE, Playdead's CEO decided to move on from the company. Why? "To seek new challenges</b>".
The Steam page does a fantastic job of explaining INSIDE through the use of its screeenshots more than its blunt product description. With IGN calling it a "Masterpiece" and Polygon hailing it as the most captivating setting they've ever encountered, it might be worth checking out since there's no down-payment needed.
And it isn't a time limited affair, either. The demo will be available whenever you decide to check it out; but be aware the 25% discount is part of Steam's Autumn sale.
