How impressive is this grueling horror experience? I guessed the ending mere minutes into the demo earlier this year, and yet when it came time to play the full game, I still found myself getting caught up in the twists and turns. That’s right — even knowing the ending before going in, the journey was so powerful that I’m glad to have taken it, and would recommend that any fan of first-person horror do the same.
The Beast Inside is a great adventure, with tons of different situations and an interesting story. Bear in mind, though, it is not a survival horror, as it claims to be, although it does have some really good horror moments.

What an absolute surprise this horror game turned out to be. As a horror game fanatic, I can tell you for certain that you'll find no better game that perfectly blends an amazing story with scary moments that will make you scream. I jumped out of my chair so many times I couldn't keep count. The jump scares are perfectly executed when you least expect them so I appreciate that a lot.
So here are my thought overall:
-Amazing story. Well thought out. Its no easy feat to blend two different character arches together and make them both **** alone in a horror game. The only time I've seen this successfully done in my opinion was Resident Evil. I have to give special props to this indie studio for pulling off such a complex game that doesn't make me lose interest.
-It's SCARY. Whoa... I know right!? The moments of horror you experience are so thought out and well executed. Like I said before... the jump scares are perfectly timed and happen when you least expect them. Just when you think that's all this game has to offer **** throws in chase scenes and moments of dread and utter creepy ghosts that will just sit there and you have NO IDEA if they will do something. I can't say enough about it without spoiling too much.
-The riddles were so much fun. They range from easy all the way to "WHAT DO I DO!?!?" which I love because I like being challenged. You will often find yourself going through your documents/files to search for clues and some of them come from the game surroundings in a particular room ect.
-The graphics were impressive with very little hiccups. I loved the attention to detail in the woods where your home is. I was walking around looking at the trees, water, and the house admiring the detail. One of my only negatives was certain character models looked cheesy or dead faced but I'm just getting nit picky. Overall: impressive graphics from an indie studio that almost comes off like a AA title instead of a indie title.
-Music and atmosphere were stellar. This is one of the most KEY elements to a game you have to achieve and it exceeded my expectations. When walking around in the forest or just talking with your wife setting up your new home it was pleasant and when horror elements come into play it creeps you out and makes you cringe that something might pop out. Also... a special mention that this game does right in terms of music is how the game lets you know when something is about to happen or if you got past something that was chasing you and you can calm down your heart rate. It's something small that I personally like in a game so I thought it was worth mentioning.
-Game mechanics were easy and this is one of those games where you can pretty much interact with anything you want. You can choose to read/collect/discard and the in game tutorials were great. The only trouble I had was the switching between the lantern or lighting a match. Sometimes I had to switch to the lantern to put out a match I accidentally lit so that could be fixed. But thats small potatoes...
Overall I loved this game. Huge standout that deserves some recognition in an already competitive horror genre of games that are available. Pick this one up and turn the lights off and have fun!

The Beast Inside is a a game with two souls: the first is close to a political thriller, the second one is more suitable for the genre and offers true moments of horror.
The Beast Inside is a walking simulator that tries to make the most of the horror setting to create a good but not perfect videogame.
I was very impressed by The Beast Inside not only for the visual aspects but also for the story of how the game was developed and came to be.
One could portray The Beast Inside as a classic horror game from the last decade, but it’s also one that draws the biggest flaws from the genre in our current timeline. Point is, as much as we want to criticize its problems, it brings up an interesting story full of mysteries and challenging puzzles.
One can clearly see the ambition in The Beast Inside, but the developer's lack of experience means it doesn't actually reach those heights.
story avarege but so many system in indie game just wow atmosphere very good facial animation good i feel amnesia play but beast inside better good job well we need more like this game

Aventura gráfica de terror en primera con una buena trama, una duración justa, un acabado gráfico quizás algo por debajo de la media, pero unos puzzles impresionantes; son lo mejor del juego. Hechos con imaginación y sacándole partido a la profesión del protagonista. Dos historias entrelazadas en el tiempo con una antigua casa como nexo de unión hacen de este ‘The Beast Inside’ un juego entretenido y muy divertido.Pierde algún entero por los gráficos y que a veces el diseño de niveles se hace un pelín repetitivo. Pero el juego es más que recomendable

It is basically first-person Tomb Raider with jump scares; a lot, a lot of jump scares, they are not even funny nor scary.
The Good: premise, art
The OK: story
The Very Bad: gameplay

i really wanted to enjoy this game but the tedious and boring puzzles that sometimes don't even function properly removed my will to finish this **** story was alright and the game looked really good but the puzzles and bad optimization just made me look for another game.

Summary The Beast Inside is a unique, gripping twist on thriller and survival horror. The game mixes intriguing story-driven adventure with unnerving survival horror experience. Immerse in the tale of long-buried secrets, personal tragedies, and madness. Play as two protagonists living in different centuries but bounded by dark heritage. Boston...
