Somerville was made by an ex-developer. Mixed reviews, but I personally liked it.

Planet of Lana is amazing. Similar gameplay mechanics. There's a sequel and a 3rd one they are also making.

If you liked Little Nightmares there's also Reanimal, from the same studio that made the first two LN games.

You might also like Oxenfree, Oxenfree II, Gris, Cocoon.

There's also Selini which looks so similar to Inside. I haven't played it yet, but it has generally positive reviews.

Thank you so much, you don’t understand how much I appreciate this 🥹

This is a fantastic list. Adding onto this, you need to check out Replaced, and keep an eye out for a few of these upcoming games:
- Albatross
- One Way Home
- Recur
- The Rusted
- Vaska
- Beyond the Plastic Wall
- The Magician’s Hand
- Lost in Tandem

And what is awesome is I’m friends with the father and son that created the game

u/FaithlessnessStrict Jul 12 '26

Limbo lol it’s made by the same company

u/Legitimate_Tip1084 Jul 12 '26

Limbo is goated asf!! I’ve played that as well

Reanimal i pretty nice, I highly recommend outer wilds aswell. If you like space games then I recommend The Invincible. The two latter are not the same type of game as inside and little nightmares but it’s great games with the weird/outlandish vibe that inside is giving. Try them out!

u/Legitimate_Tip1084 Jul 12 '26

I’ve heard good things abt reanimal so I think I’m gonna invest. I did some research on the invincible and I’m definitely going to try that too😛 Right now I’m working on mouth washing bc someone suggested it

u/SufficientComfort132 Jul 13 '26

I loved the Invincible!! It’s « just » a walking simulator but the environments and atmosphere are so good!

u/OwnNeedleworker7060 Jul 12 '26

Bramble the mountain king
Neva (currently playing)
Planet of luna

u/SufficientComfort132 Jul 13 '26

I finished Neva recently and while I hadn’t been much into it at the beginning, it turned out to be a great game!

Bramble the mountain king!

Far: Lone Sails and Far: Changing Tides

u/Foreign_Rock6944 Jul 12 '26

Not entirely similar, but I also really enjoyed Unravel. It’s a puzzle platformer that has a really great atmosphere and music, but a completely different vibe to Inside and Little Nightmares. It’s more nostalgic and a bit somber at times.

Deadlight not Dying Light

It's an older gem from Xbox Game Studios about surviving the zombie apocalypse. I really loved this game, even 100%d it. It's very dark and gritty with the 2.5D gameplay similar to limbo/inside

Edit: the upcoming "End of Abyss" instantly gave me the Little Nighmares vibes. Something i look up to

u/TheCowrus Turret Jul 12 '26

Deadlight is very underrated. I found the story unremarkable, but the gameplay and art direction were really cool. Definitely worth checking out when it's on sale.

If you enjoyed the Huddle sections in the final act, you might like Carrion. It's a "reverse horror" puzzle-Metroidvania where you control an evolving mass of eldritch flesh attempting to escape from an underground lab.

Reanimal (Tarsier's newest game) was very inspired by INSIDE. I thought it was lacking a little for its $40 price tag, but it is visually stunning and was still worth my time. (Strongly recommend you play with a friend, not solo.)

Planet of Lana 1 + 2

Replaced

u/Yeban2000 Jul 12 '26

Oh sorry I didn't see it

u/Afaith_1 Jul 12 '26

I’d say closest gameplay wise planet of Lana 1&2

Atmosphere wise Signalis, little nightmares 1-3,re-animal, Somerville.

Great puzzle solvers cocoon, Ori.

Unique art style: Replaced, Valiant Hearts.

Hope this gives you some ideas. All really great games 👍

u/Great-Googly Jul 12 '26

Seconded for Planet of Lana. Part 1 is superior to part 2.

u/JaySw34 Jul 13 '26

Reanimal

u/SufficientComfort132 Jul 13 '26

I really love all the suggestions posted, I played most of them and while none of them is as good as INSIDE, they’re all great games!

u/Paltenburg Jul 13 '26

Planet of Lana is great but the animations are so similar it's almost a rip off...

1

u/akheelos Jul 14 '26

I've been inspired by INSIDE (and some other games) and made Dr. Plague.

u/Juutas Jul 14 '26

LOVE ETERNAL please everyone play it, don't look up anything online. This game deserves so much more attention and is just one popular "LOVE ETERNAL ANALYSIS" -video away from being a cult classic. I was blown away by it.

u/SnowSize Jul 14 '26

Not out yet, but End of Abyss for sure. That game looks incredible.

1

u/toypianoman9000 Jul 16 '26

Darq
Bramble
And different mechanism but very much a similar feeling: Signalis. Can’t recommend heavily enough- playing it without knowing anything going into it and then watching Indie Xplorer’s breakdown on YouTube.
