You can pick up Inside for $2 rn.

It's a fun and atmospheric puzzler/platformer. Has a bit of an Out of
This World feel.

I know it's not free. Boo. Sorry 'bout that.

I can recommend it as well especially at that price. A nice dark
atmosphere (don't let the 'cartoon' style graphics fool you) and the
environmental puzzle element gets it right, for me anyway, of being
rewarding when you solve them without being frustrating in the mould of
if I do enough random things I'll get it right eventually. Oh and my
copy was free as it was gifted by somebody who knows I like this sort of
thing.

Looks like you can even get an extra 10% off if you already have Limbo
and buy the Limbo+Inside bundle. Although I wasn't able to pay,
Steam<->Paypal link seems to have an issue of some kind.

[My review from some time ago]
I started INSIDE soon after LIMBO, and found it more enjoyable, for a few
reasons: Rather than revealing its plot in a single sentence, with each
succeeding section just a further obstacle in your PointA->PointB journey,
it is spread over the entire game; new game mechanics seem a little more
organically introduced, generally less timing-dependent, and I certainly
found them easier; and finally, a little more color and varied action made
failure less irritating.

Here's a link to one of various analysis/explanations of the plot, most of
which come to the same conclusion, that the deceptively happy ending is just
a further system of control:
analysis https://youtu.be/P2NXvDuz520

I only found 5 or so of the hidden bombs/reactors myself, but this video
posits it's a continuation of the plot (I prefer to think of it as a Nier
Automata-like nod to the player, that ok you did everything, time to shut it
down Now):
Part2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0gafce1Q0Q

Amusing unboxing of the Collector's Edition by Giantbomb (I'm surprised it
did not have a Huddle recording inside):

Ditto.

It's not a very difficult game (even less challenge than "Limbo") but
its nicely atmospheric. The solution to the puzzles was almost always
obvious thanks to some excellent signposting, but then leaving it up
to the player to figure out /how/ to achieve that goal. It was never
blatant (like big arrows saying "do this!" but rather "If I were stuck
in this room, what would I do to get out?" and that being the answer.

The globby ending was pretty cool too (and the animation was great).

Normally I'd knock off a few points for it being an Indie game that
uses a chiaroscuro art style and features a small child thrust into
dangerous situations - a /far/ too overused trope - except these were
the developers who created that trope, so they get a pass. ;-)

Definitely worth the price... and a playthrough. It's not very long so
give it a try.

For anyone who likes the look of this game it's worth looking Far: Lone
Sails as it has a similar gameplay experience and quite often goes on a
deep sale.

I liked the videos. I like to know some background and culture around
games before I play.
