Description

Inner Worlds, is an incredible new side-scroll fantasy action adventure, for DOS & Windows 95. This game was developed by a team of very talented and energetic people scattered across the entire globe and brought together by the internet ... Sleepless IDT #1.

In Inner Worlds you play the role of a strong and beautiful woman whose quest-name is Nikita. Nikita has the astonishing ability to turn into a ferocious she-wolf! Nikita's quest is to track down The Claws, the evil creation of a misguided genius. The Claws has plagued the world for generations.

You will guide Nikita through the first episode, "Wizard's World" as she searches the ruins of Castle Drofanayrb for clues to where The Claws has gone. In episode two, "World of Change" you must venture through uninhabited and dangerous lands to reach a terrifying volcano, the hiding place of The Claws.

Comment

Inner Worlds was originally released as shareware, but later changed to freeware. Sleepless no longer provide download for the game though, so you need to look for it elsewhere.

Inner Worlds, though at it's core a very good game with a tremendous amount of depth and great gameplay, was, nevertheless, a complete and total failure financially. By the time it was released, the graphics and sound were so out of date that no one really took much notice. Everyone was into first person 3D shooters by that time.
