Evaluation

In Passing launched on October 24, 2019 as a free-to-play first-person 3D platformer. In the weeks following launch, the developer shipped a patch on October 31, 2019 addressing bugs, checkpoints, and adding initial achievements. A follow-up post on November 15, 2019 outlined plans for a lighting fix and some additional achievements. That November 15, 2019 post is the last known communication from the developer — no further updates, announcements, or patches have been posted since. The game has no DLC listed, no announced future content, and no roadmap beyond those early post-launch housekeeping items. The developer's November 2019 post described near-term patch work, which appears to have been the final activity on the project. With over six years of silence since that last communication and no outstanding content commitments, the game appears to have launched as a complete, self-contained experience with a brief post-launch polish window that has since concluded.

About this game

"We need to talk..."

Those words shattered everything, ruined everything. Alone with your darkest thoughts, you find yourself in a waking nightmare. The world is broken, fragmented, and your memories inescapable horrors. Sinister whispers bombard you, the world nearly impossible to navigate, and creatures move in the shadows. As a voice you thought long buried goads you, a simple light shines. A glimmer. Hope.

In Passing is a first-person 3D platformer set within the confines of a broken mind. Undertake a harrowing journey of recovery, tackling the relentless throws of toxic thought as you make your way back through fragmented memories. Jump, dash, and race through a mind intent on destroying you, pushing against the insidiousness of depression. Duck out of the way of turrets, vault over chasms, run along walls, and re-assemble the shattered pillar of self at the center of the maelstrom of melancholy swirling around you.

Featuring striking visuals, a gripping tale of a broken mind, challenging platforming, and a beautiful soundtrack from Lucas King, In Passing challenges players mechanically and mentally.

With care and poise, even the most broken mind can be healed.
