Om demoen

You just dissociated from reality...

Unfortunately, the imaginary world you've landed in is as disturbed as your mental state. Gather your courage and confront your darkest thoughts in this 8-bit psychological horror RPG.

True retro compatibility

Innerwhy was built to run on the Game Boy Color. Every technical limitation has been embraced: pixel art, chiptune soundtrack, limited storage… it’s all part of the experience.

Everyone is feeling bad...

In this retro setting, you play as Manda, a young woman trapped in a crumbling imaginary world. Here, everyone is losing their mind: mushrooms fall into despair, pumpkins get angry, and goblins are fed up with life. (Goblins are not included in the demo, but are available in the full game.)

Dynamic turn-based battles

Save these troubled souls by battling them in turn-based combat powered by your emotions. Stay alert and dodge their negative vibes in real-time during Bullet Hell-style minigames.

Meta-progression

You will die. Probably more than once. But don’t worry, a meta-progression system will make you stronger with each attempt.

Randomly generated worlds

Plus, randomly generated worlds ensure each playthrough offers a fresh adventure.
