Robert is a novice, a bit clueless, but with a heart of gold. He lives a peaceful life as a court musician in Asposia's largest wind monastery. Contrary to the laws of physics, Asposia is an enormous, hollow space surrounded by an infinite expanse of earth. The world's air is provided through three wind fountains, but as one wind fountain after the other petered out and the wind gods came to Asposia, all of the sudden Robert found him in the middle of a whirlwind.
Together with the help of the mysterious thief Laura, his best intentions and no clue whatsoever, Robert sets off on his adventure to discover the secret of the wind's disappearance. Will the young adventurer be able to save his world? And what are Laura´s secret intentions…?

8 of 15I just played The Inner World again, after many years, and it is still creative and truly one off the best in the genre. It is a game that despite conflict, feels warm and hopeful. There are just too many wars and conflict in the real world for me, at least, to seek that out as entertainment. It left me smiling, it's not easy and so I recommend it
The constant tapping trying to get the game to select what I’m tapping on is so frustrating and it’s making this game unplayable. I purchased the bundle and finished part 2 first because this one was giving me so many problems. I thought it was my screen sensitivity but I went back into the reviews and apparently it’s been going on for a while with A LOT of people and the developers must have just said “fk it”, and aren’t planning on fixing the issues. There are bugs, the game doesn’t save, and you can’t click on items or the hints or anything because when you do click on them, NOTHING HAPPENS. I have a brand new phone so I knows it’s not MY issue, but then again, maybe it’s just an issue with newer phones?? I don’t know. All I do know is that I payed for this bundle and only got one playable game. I’m not happy. Don’t waste your time purchasing the bundle or this one by itself because it still doesn’t work and it’s Aug of 2020. The issues have been going on for 2 years. 👎🏼
This is a lovely, challenging adventure for about 6 hrs of play, until a known bug that hasn’t been fixed since 2018 left me stuck in the middle courtyard with no scene change to access Conroy’s Basilyan. Not appropriate for younger-than-teenagers unless allusions to sex and “bar humor” will go over their heads.
Tim Schafer and Ron Gilbert set the standard of fun and engaging game plots for me and I think The Inner World creators spun a story I looked forward to knowing what happened next. It’s one of those where your heart goes out to the characters involved. But importantly for me it is also meditative because there is no clock, no pressure, just good calm music and your brain, trying to hack away at the puzzle in front of you. Some adventures games have out there have gone the direction of reducing the challenge level to the point you are basically just clicking through dialogue, but I appreciate that the Inner World does make you think and you even get to combine items you find, to solve certain puzzles, which I’ve always loved. And a nice modern touch that the oldie games did not have is the hint system is there just in case you really get stuck. So as they say, I recommend without reservation.
Great game but still has bugs. Stuck at the end.
The puzzle mystery of the game is well thought out but the program has a so buggy that I finally deleted it out of frustration. Do not buy this game. You try to click on things that are supposed to work and they don’t.
It says it's for the whole family, but midway through the game there's an onslaught of cursing with the b-word.
The controls are a pita. The art is unique and pretty cool. The story is o.k.
