Inner Worlds

Inner Worlds is a video game in the action genre developed by Sleepless Software Inc. and published by Sleepless Software Inc. originally released in 1996. It is currently playable on DOS.

Inner Worlds is a side-scrolling fantasy action game in which you play a woman named Nikita who turns out to be a werewolf. The game consists of three episodes (the first one was distributed as shareware, you had to buy the full game to play the other two).

In the first episode, the village elder trusts Nikita to rid his village of the Gralob, an evil creation of a misguided genie, so he must travel to Castle Drofanayrb, where the creature lurks. In the second episode he discovers that the Gralob was only one of two horrible creatures. And finally, in the third episode, he must travel to a volcanic mountain, inside which the secret of Drofanayrb lives, to fulfill his destiny.

The gameplay is quite simple. You can jump, climb and crawl (the same in wolf form, although you are much smaller as a wolf, so you can sneak through narrow corridors, and you have a special 'frenzy' move that tears enemies apart). In some levels, you can find necklaces that improve your health, mana or attack damage. You can find weapons like hammers, swords or bows, and you can upgrade them with scrolls that give them unique abilities (for example, the hammer can 'throw' lightning). You can also find different gems that give life or mana and potions that help you jump higher or fall slower. Mana is needed for spells that you can acquire from level bosses. Each episode consists of 9 levels, and every third level has a boss.

The enemies are animals and experimental creatures of the castle. So you will encounter spiders, bats, huge centipedes, alien-like creatures and huge green beasts that can stretch their arms.

The graphics of the game are a bit strange, as the characters are in 2D but the scenery and foreground are a bit 3D. The music creates an eerie atmosphere suitable for the game.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
