Innerworld is a 2D, Zelda-like Adventure-RPG, created for the  2024 Pirate Software Game Jam.

It utilizes a unique parallel-world mechanic where your actions in the “Innerworld” give you more and more agency over your actions (key bindings) in the “Outerworld”. This is implemented through puzzle mechanics, and in the future, 2D top-down combat. The story is told through the environment, with no dialogue (written or spoken). Manage your orbs, manage your controls.

Throughout the course of the game, both the player and the character’s autonomy over their actions SPREAD further towards accomplishing their goals - the first of which is to wake up and try to function like a person.
