While there are always numerous titles releasing on consoles, sometimes it is up to Indie and smaller publishers to put together interesting concepts rather than big productions. Thanks to companies like Playmind, games such as The Inner Friend exist to keep gaming interesting.
The Inner Friend is without question the type of game that will suck you in right away. With no words existing in the game, players are thrown into the subconscious of the character and given the opportunity to delve into the nightmares and memories of the main character.
Having earlier been released on Steam and receiving high praise, the game has now received an official release for both XBOX One and PS4, allowing console players to experience the interesting and sometimes frightening concept and story of The Inner Friend. Released today, the console version is able to reach far greater audiences, and touch even more players with the ingenuity and seldom-found qualities the title holds. For those looking for a little fright in their story, The Inner Friend is the title for them.
“We at Playmind are very excited to be able to share our game with a brand new audience on Xbox One and Playstation 4. While we are very proud of the accolades The Inner Friend has received, we think the best validation of our work comes from our fans that have allowed us to continue to make games. We can’t wait to welcome another wave of enthusiastic players to our community.” - Emmanuel Sevigny, founder and CEO at Playmind.
