INSIDE
INSIDE is a puzzle-platformer game developed by Playdead, the Danish studio behind Limbo. It is a single-player, atmospheric 2D side-scrolling adventure game set in a dystopian industrial world. The player controls a nameless boy navigating environments filled with environmental puzzles, physics-based challenges, and hostile creatures. The game emphasizes exploration, trial-and-error problem-solving, and visual storytelling with minimal dialogue or exposition. INSIDE is known for its haunting aesthetic, precise controls, and increasingly surreal late-game sequences. It was originally released in 2016 and is available on macOS, Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox platforms.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionINSIDE is an Intel-only macOS game published in 2016, and there is no evidence that Playdead has released or is actively developing a native Apple Silicon build. The game runs under Rosetta 2 today on M-series Macs, but Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), meaning this build will stop launching on that release and beyond. Contact Playdead directly to ask whether a native macOS build is planned; if not, your alternative options are to play INSIDE on another platform (Windows PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, or Xbox, all of which ship native versions for their respective hardware), or to keep a Mac running macOS 27 or earlier as a legacy machine. Given that INSIDE is a finished game with no active development, a native macOS version seems unlikely unless there is significant community demand.
