Ines

Ines is a story-driven game that follows a depressed player whose wife has left him and taken their children. After finding something intriguing, he begins exploring the game’s world, where documents reveal dark secrets about rituals and a secret society. Set in the 1990s, the game uses retro VHS effects and sounds as you investigate what happened to Ines.

Ines’s past

You search for peacock feathers, which let you access Ines’s memories. When you find one, you experience the past rather than simply observe it, feeling the physical pain, sadness and emotions Ines felt. As you do, the victim’s memory is erased.

Explore and solve puzzles

Logic puzzles require you to explore the environment and examine documents; individual words can hold the key to solving them. The game includes save and load functions and an inventory system to help you keep track of important information and manage resources as you progress.

Psychological horror

The retro VHS presentation and puzzles accompany a story about dark secrets, emotional turmoil, trauma and dilemmas rooted in Ines’s past. As you uncover the society’s rituals and lost memories, you face external dangers and mysteries as well as the characters’ internal struggles.
