The Beast Inside

The Beast Inside Download is an alternating game between two main characters and also two different gameplay styles, a narrative-driven adventure with puzzles and horror.
Without a doubt the horror side of the game is its strongest aspect, the music is great, the sounds are good, and often used really well when combined with the environment to create a solid horror atmosphere. However, where the execution falls a little short is the dull & linear chase sequences, boss fights and a lot of predictable jumps scares – if you’re familiar with horror games or movies and you think there’s a jump scare coming in, 99% of the time you are telling the truth.

As far as the narrative adventure side of the game, I have to be blunt here, it felt like padding to me: Unlikeable characters, an incredibly predictable story in part due to game design choices which makes it obvious, and worse, mechanically says he was tiptoeing on the line of being a walking icon. The only enjoyable part for me was the puzzles, even if they were easy to find – they were fun regardless and I really appreciated that the game allowed you to solve them on your own instead of catching up with a hand.
All in all, a fairly full playthrough of the game took me about 8 hours on the hardest – I’d say the overall experience was a mixed bag, there were moments I didn’t enjoy well with the times I’d hoped to return to thrills instead of awkward scanning, walking to “waypoints” and listening to unlikable characters rant with its current crisis.
Would I recommend this game? I would say yes, but only if you don’t go in expecting to get an awesome 7-9 hour experience out of it. Instead expect to get about ~3 hours of horror, ~3 hours of adventure, 1 hour+ of stuff like cutscenes, reading text, and solving puzzles.
