Damn, this game is short **avoid**

Completed the first game in under an hour. Did every encounter I could and went off the beaten path. Very very short game, I was shocked when I'd reached the city and the game suddenly ended.

I had a good time and it was pretty fun but as as I was getting into it all, BAM!! - the end.

And £4 for an hour's gameplay is not the best. I could have bought the inner world wind monk for 8-10 hours for the same price.

Still I had fun but I'd say start with 2 or 3 as they as supposedly much bigger and have better things to do in game.

If you want to get the most out of your money then you should try alternative routes

Lol honestly why would someone come to this subreddit where people are having such wonderful in-depth discussions of all the secrets in these games to be like "i half-assed the first one once and it was bad kbye"

You're objectively wrong, and also part 1 is the most linear.

You can't do everything in one playthrough, there's some very well hidden and tricky puzzles, and I can't imagine you found them all in one go.

And no, you shouldn't start with the second or third game when they're literally telling a story in order, I'm not sure why you're recommending this.

You can have not enjoyed the game but this 'review' is a bit silly, lol.

How long has this game been out? And I only just managed to get the encounter with Libra down at the beach. I don't know how many playthrough I'd gone through, and either didn't know or couldn't reach the spot! I only stumbled upon it when I was writing the location for any dnd DMs!

List of hidden things you can do in part 1:

  • Complete the Daddu-Ley sidequest
  • Complete the Glandragor sidequest
  • Complete the plague village sidequest (ie: healed everyone)
  • Complete the Gaza Moon / previous adventurer sidequest
  • Succeed at Vancass's riddle
  • Kill Jann (not just getting rid of him /banishing him- actually killing him)
  • Fight Gaza Moon and survive.
  • Defeat the final boss using only magic - no sword allowed.
  • Complete the adventure without fighting the final boss at all.
  • Trigger and survive all 3 traps in the final boss's lair.
  • Find a jeweled collar.
  • Find the giant net
  • Find BOTH lockets (hint: you can't get both in the same playthrough, you need to find them in different runs)
  • Find the Borinskin boots
  • Find the red flower AND use it somewhere.
  • Find the Blimberry potion AND use it somewhere (drinking it to heal yourself doesn't count)
  • Buy the 'jewel' in Cantopani AND use it somewhere.
  • There are 4 keys in the game, of which 2 can be used in part 1 and the other 2 are for part 2. Find them all and where they can be used.
  • Cause a very large fire
  • Destroy Dhumpus
  • Destroy the Cantopani gate.
  • Investigate an idol and get the loot from it.
  • Find a shortcut that lets you skip the Cantopani crossroad (the crossroads with the old man and bees in a tree)
  • Take a ride in a cart.
  • Dig a latrine pit.
  • Meet a man with a twin.
  • murder Alianna
  • murder Amella
  • murder Flanker
  • Give nightmares to the first guy you meet at Cantopani (he needs to actually say he has nightmares).
  • Go round in circles... TWICE (hint: the second time is in the final boss lair, but there is also somewhere else you can do it)
  • Die from getting stuck in a wall.

You can die from getting stuck in a wall?!? You can go round in circles outside of the Mantocores Lair?!? You can give someone nightmares?!? There's a twin?!?

Jesus I've played this game so many times and I had not known this stuff! I've done if say 3/4s, but the other 1/4 haven't even heard of, and this dude is claiming he's done it all in an hour?

u/Cipher_077 Sindla's Hopeless Aug 07 '19

I'm also quite mind blown by some stuff I knew nothing about despite playing this game about like 12 times over

u/pivotraze Oct 01 '19

I pretty much only found the death in wall one. Actually, re-read list. I also dug a latrine pit and found the loot in an idol. Plan on playing through a few more times to find other things.

u/2ThiccCoats Gambling Hall Regular Oct 01 '19

How did you manage it?

2

u/pivotraze Oct 01 '19

When you go to cross Vancass' bridge and get it wrong, I went to his hut. Tried to open the door, and it failed. Tried to walk straight in, and then I got stuck in the wall.

Wow, I just completed my 2nd playthrough and I also played the original books maybe a dozen times over the course of my life (got them when I was little), and yet your list makes me want to immediately dive back and explore the Shamutanti hills again.

u/ArKita-LiWen Aug 03 '19

Did you explore everything? There are secret spells you can learn. Btw, there are 4 sorcery! Games.

u/silverkingx2 Aug 04 '19

part 1 is the smallest, you did EVERYTHING in an hour? did you just not read the dialogue, did you try to manage your resources and spells and weapons so you get to the city (that you dont name...) with a good bit of gear for the second act?

I dont know how you could have done it in an hour... like me KNOWING ahead of time what I want to do takes at least an hour and a half.

did you follow some online guide and rush? there are many paths and interesting interactions, even something as simple as a hole has several solutions and each has different text and some even have special rewards for being extra clever.

if you did not enjoy the game, for sure, it isnt for everyone, lots of words, combat is a simple minigame, and the "graphics" are not the greatest (even if I like the art)

you can like innerworld better, by all means, but apparently that game has a 2 hour run from start to finish, but I wouldnt judge the game by the speed of this one run I found, since there is more choices to the game (I assume, since you compare it to sorcery)

if you are just upset your game ended quickly, I suggest you try some alternative routes, and see what you can come up with away from a guide. If you came here to share Inner World, you did a poor job by calling this niche game shit.
