That poor lad

Playdead’s captivating platform-adventure titleInsideis on its way to iOS this Friday, December 15. The mobile version isopen for pre-order, but the pricing isn’t fully known; it’s listed as “free.”

For me, the first time through, it was an unforgettable experience.Insidehad me after a few short seconds and didn’t let go until I reached its astounding final moments that same night. Then I went through it all again. Finally, I got my sister to play because I just had to see how she’d take to it. (She, uh… she didn’t care for the underwater segments with the super creepy you-know-what.)

Insideis too fresh on my mind for me to want to experience it again, but for those of you who haven’t seen its horrors, gosh, I highly encourage getting on that. It should work fine on a phone or tablet.

My other advice? If you’ve managed to escape major spoilers this whole time, try to go in blind.
