Evaluation

Inmates is a short, self-contained psychological horror game that launched on October 5, 2017 at a fixed price of $9.99. The developer explicitly described it as a 3–4 hour experience, and the store description and feature list present it as a complete, finished product with no mention of additional content, expansions, or post-launch plans. Following launch, the developer issued two small patches (October 10 and October 18, 2017) addressing bugs, performance, and minor graphical improvements. There have been no developer communications since October 18, 2017, no DLC has ever been listed, and no roadmap or future content was ever announced. The game launched as a complete, standalone product and has received no content updates beyond initial maintenance patches.

About this game

The most frightening thing about Jonathan’s nightmare is that he may not be dreaming...

Inmates is a psychological horror game with puzzle elements in which you must find out the truth behind your confinement and uncover the dark secrets of the run-down prison you find yourself in.

You’ve awoken from a nightmare, Jonathan. But did it truly end? You are in a seedy prison cell and have no clue how you got there. You’re terrified and confused, but you also feel something else: a painful sense of familiarity. You’ve convinced yourself this is all just a bad dream. Unfortunately, according to the voice coming from the old radio, things are not as simple as you’d like them to be.
