The Inner Friend
The Inner Friend is finally hitting the major consoles this month so more can see the horrors within The Inner Friend
The console release for The Inner Friend is almost upon us here and it is not even Summer yet. That was the original timeline that PLAYMIND laid out for those waiting to get their hands on this title on the PS4 and Xbox One instead of the PC. There are some of those gamers out there that have been waiting since 2018 for that to happen for The Inner Friend. Now, on April 28th those waiting will be able to give it all a go. It was a long wait, but it is happening and it will be coming out there with a few changes that the original did not have.
That change coming to the console versions of The Inner Friend is in terms of an alternate ending that has been put together here. No, this will not be something that will be exclusive just for those versions but it is because of these versions. It will get added to the PC version at the same time, but I like adding to the suspense of it all. What that is going to be will have to wait until The Inner Friend actually launches here. Have a look at the latest trailer for the game here to see if you will be taking a dive down this rabbit hole on the consoles or again for the PC.
The Inner Friend — Console Release Date
Montreal based developers PLAYMIND are proud to announce their award-winning game The Inner Friend will be coming to consoles on April 28th, 2020. Owners of Microsoft’s Xbox One and Sony’s PlayStation 4 will be able to experience the critically-acclaimed story of self-discovery and catharsis. The soul-searching experiment gets even better this time around with a new alternate ending, which will also be available as an update to the Steam version.
The Inner Friend originally launched on PC in 2018 and won a series of awards at conventions and independent gaming festivals including Best in Play at GDC Play 2019, Best Experimental Game at TGS 2018, and Best in Show at the Montreal Indie Games Festival 2017.
The story of The Inner Friend takes you on a journey through a fragmented dreamscape, led by a mysterious Shadow. Horrifying monsters stalk The Shadow’s memories; the player must evade and fight them while dealing with obstacles and puzzles in the darkness of The Shadow’s mind.
