How to do more with less? How did over forty people’s work, spread over six long years of development, result in a game as stripped-down as Inside? Why didn’t this spark critical or media backlash? On the contrary, how did such a brief, uncompromisingly strange work captivate audiences? How did Danish studio Playdead conquer the gaming world through the false simplicity of its game—its façade of restraint hiding a dizzying depth?
Answering these questions raises others: What is a minimalist work, and why do we enjoy playing it? How far can perfectionism drive artists? Why do we find comfort in melancholy?
In this book, author Robin Pailharey analyzes the surprising Inside to explore these questions in depth.
