Inmates is a story-driven, atmospheric, interactive exploration simulator with horror elements and puzzles. Investigate every detail of the prison to discover the story of the people who are locked there. Pick up and examine objects to discover mysteries of the prison. Uncover the reasons why you are there.
Horror feels as though it has been heading on a downwards spiral for a while. With the release of Inmates we see whether the next batch of horror games can revive the genre.
A horror game with few scares, Inmates is imprisoned by its lack of ambition.
I can say that Inmates is a very promising title and I can see a great effort in that work, but it feels unfinished and you can feel that it needs more time and effort.
Inmates is a relatively average horror game overall. There is an actually decent story in there and the puzzles were somewhat fun, but I do not think it was worth the time in the end.
Inmates might deserve a higher rating, but the low budget and its very short length are hard to ignore. Even so, it's a pleasant one-night horror entertainment.
