Product received for free The Inner World Is a two-part Adventure Series from Germany, developed by the Ludwigsburg Studio Fizbin!
The first Part was a wonderfully charming Journey by Protagonist Robert and his female Sidekicks Laura through the World Of Asposien to explore the Secrets surrounding the people of the Flute Noses.
The second Part, which is of course about this Review, is set about, 3 Years after Part 1.
Already in the first Few minutes after The Start of the game it becomes clear: Only by finding the Last Wind Monk can the despot Emil, who has seized power in the ungoverned Apcones, be stopped! With its Symbolism (Flags with upturned Pretzels in a clear Colour scheme) and their "Heil Emil" exclamations, the theme is not only subliminally reminiscent of the Third Reich, but is nevertheless presented here in a child-friendly manner. Except for "Destroy all Flute Noses," no political Statements are made either.
In The process, new Players are gently introduced to the Show's history and Characters, even without any Prior knowledge. So It is not necessary to have played the first Part. However, you will then miss one of the best Adventures of the last Few years! My Tip: Play First Part 1!
The Gameplay couldn't be more classic: Armed only with the Mouse, you solve more or less logical headnuts and puzzle your Way through the Game. It is pleasant that The Locations are never too sprawling but still offer a Lot of Possibilities in manageable Space! The Level of Puzzles is not too easy but also not unfazable-I was able to solve the Game without Any Help function (this is integrated!) or Complete Solution!
However, I would have liked a little more Hints in 2-3 Places.
Most of The time, however, subtle in the comments or Dialogues of the bizarre and well-designed Inhabitants is given an Indication of how to solve various Problems. But of course you have to think about the Corner from time to time!
Even controlling Laura, Robert and the Dove Hack At the same Time (by Switching in Inventory) was never overtaxing or superfluous!
The Graphics are hand-drawn and-animated and really extremely lovingly! One is happy about every new Scene and is offered a lot of Variety about the 6-Chapter game! The Figures have all the nice Details, which can sometimes only be seen at the 2nd View and in the Background you can always discover small Animations that Do not make the Action seem static!
The Music is not intrusive and fits wonderfully into the Game-of course, the four Songs that Robert learns on his Journey remain in the ear, which are to be used to Solve various Puzzles. Otherwise, the Music contributes to the Atmosphere rather than jumping into the player's Ears-I thought it was nicely balanced!
The 6 Chapters are leisurely and if you try a lot I can solve about 10-13 Hours.
Verdict: TOLLER second Part!! I don't know of any Adventure that creates this Atmosphere through Speaker, Graphics, Puzzles and History. Both Children and Adults are likely to get their Money's worth! In addition, some of the Puzzles were really very creative and that over a long Period of play!
I very much hope for a third Part!
