Dive into the depths of the subconscious to face childhood nightmares in action horror game The Inner Friend as players journey through a rich but wordless story where they must elude gruesome beings and collect memories in order to restore peace to a distressed mind.

Led by a mysterious Shadow, face fears and nightmares inhabiting its materialized subconscious universe. Dive into a unique and eerie world to relive the Shadow’s childhood memories and overcome them to restore what was once a safe haven. You’ll journey ever deeper through the subconscious to unravel a rich but wordless story and encounter gruesome beings that you must evade. Ultimately, however, you will have to face them.

The Inner Friend features a rich visual environment, supported by an immersive soundscape and a cinematic soundtrack enhancing immersion and emotional moments. Movement, imagery, and music are the main ways for the player to interact with the Shadow, their guide throughout the descent. Dark and scary, mysterious at times, the world of The Inner Friend is a surrealist representation of memories and fears.

“Everyone at PLAYMIND is thrilled to finally bring The Inner Friend to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One,” said Emmanuel Sévigny, founder of PLAYMIND. “We used the time between the game’s PC and console release to expand the story of The Inner Friend in an exciting way, and it’s up to players to uncover more of the mystery in order to find answers. Fans of the surreal and avant-garde will see that the game is worth the wait!”

PLAYMIND will be in attendance at PAX East 2019 in Boston, Massachusetts at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center from March 27 - March 31, 2019, with the first playable version of The Inner Friend on consoles. Attendees can go hands-on with the game at the Indie MEGABOOTH (Booth #15085).
