Jonathan wakes up from a nightmare in a prison cell, having no clue how he appeared there. Everything around seems so familiar. An unbearable headache and a sense of lost reality makes him think that he is still in his nightmares, but the voice from the old radio tells him that not everything is as simple as it seems... Inmates is a story-driven, atmospheric, interactive exploration simulator with horror elements and puzzles. Investigate every detail of the prison to discover the story of the people who are locked there. Pick up and examine objects to discover mysteries of the prison. Uncover(Storyline via IGDB)
