The gameplay in InnerSpace for PC, SWITCH and etc. focuses on traversing worlds surrounded by water, where the laws of physics are reversed, and the locals live in cities built on the remnants of earlier civilizations. You play as an unnamed cartographer searching for artifacts and discovering previously unknown places to learn the history of this universe.
The game combines free exploration with a narrative, and it was inspired by such productions as Journey, Minecraft or Proteus. You can go wherever you want by a special vehicle, which can travel both in the air and in the water. The levels are not strictly separated, but are a part of a greater environment, which can be interacted with by e.g. using a special kind of energy, allowing you to shoot or change the machine's wings into blades to cut objects (such as electric wires, supplying energy to gates, or seaweeds).
All your actions are connected to the plot, uncovering the history of the worlds and their deities. Each world has its own demi-god keeper, and the encounters with them resemble colossus battles from Shadow of the Colossus. However, these giants are not just some bosses to defeat. The protagonist of InnerSpace can interact with them in many ways, not just in combat.
InnerSpace for PC, SWITCH and etc. features simple but pleasant visuals – clearly inspired by Journey – they’re modest but colorful (mostly red, blue, and orange). The soundtrack is equally minimalist and its calm notes provide for a fitting mood for exploration.

Game Ratings for InnerSpace Video Game.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 9 / 10 by Blake Grundman
In case you couldn't tell, InnerSpace is a game that you should be playing. The well-realized worlds, exceptional aesthetic and compelling exploration mechanics complement each other tremendously well. If you can get past the occasional bout of unnecessary complex exposition, the evolution of each environment tells a compelling enough story to keep you enthralled from start to finish. Drop everything and check out what deserves to be one of the sleeper hits of 2018.
Hardcore Gamer: 4 / 5 by James Cunningham
While InnerSpace struggles a bit on the technical side of things, the core game is a wonderful flight though worn out but still beautiful sci-fi landscapes.
Push Square: 6 / 10 by Liam Croft
InnerSpace feels like it rewards players more as a relaxation tool than as a game that grows and evolves through core progress. Indeed, its story is stimulating, the gameplay itself is serviceable, and the presentation is mesmerising, but it just feels a little too lacking as a full package. InnerSpace is worth a look if you find yourself intrigued, but be prepared for an experience that doesn't quite feel fully realised.
