Red Goddess: Inner World

Red Goddess: Inner World is a nonlinear side-scrolling adventure about Divine, a young goddess who enters her own subconscious to recover her powers and discover her connection to the planet within her mind. As something tears apart her mind and soul, she explores a world of trees, mountains and caves, uncovering its mysteries and her own past.

The world within

Divine’s subconscious shapes the planet she explores. Negative Thoughts infest its zones and adapt to the land; left alone, they cause the world to corrupt. Dark tunnels conceal creatures that follow Divine’s negative thoughts, and other dangerous beings lie in wait. An invisible, nameless enemy called the Narrator provokes the Dark Thoughts, blocks access to other zones and turns the world against Divine. He can also make Divine and her masks doubt themselves and attack one another.

Three playable characters

You control three characters, each with distinct abilities. Divine can jump and double jump, speak and interact with the planet’s elements. Her telekinesis lets her move objects to reach new zones, and she can possess and move parts of the planet to uncover mysteries from her past.

Rage and Fear are masks that represent different sides of Divine. Rage uses brute strength against red enemies, while Fear is swift and suited to fighting blue enemies. When you play as either mask, you can use deadly melee combos; the other mask follows you and can turn against you if you activate certain traps.

Combat and powers

You fight the Negative Thoughts and can possess enemies’ minds to use them in combat. To unlock new skills and enter new zones, you find and collect pieces of an ancient armor. The game combines platforming with brawling as Divine journeys through her subconscious.
