Overall, I absolutely LOVED The Inn Between! I’ll be real with you all, I got some serious Harry Potter vibes from this game, Myka is an orphan raised by his aunt and uncle (with whom he has a strained relationship), he has no memory of his childhood, and he has strange things have been happening around him lately–literally all he needs is a lightning bolt shaped scar. HOWEVER, there is one character that completely stole the show for me and that’s Thomas, Myka’s (regretfully) married boss (that man is way too fine to not be available) he serves as a kind of father figure to Myka and is just an all around great guy. But, I think keeping them shrouded in mystery was a great move since I feel like they are linked with Myka’s family secrets. The other two love interests, Emrys and Solas are only hinted at in the demo, unless Emrys’s cat form counts as screen time. Even as the “normal” love interest, there’s still an air of mystery surrounding Leon and I can’t help but get the sense that he knows more about Myka’s past than he’s letting on (my running theory is that he’s some sort of secret Hunter), but only time will tell. There are three planned love interests, though we spent the most time with Leon in the demo–he’s a sweetheart, so I’m not too upset about that.
The demo is a nice length (it took me about 2 hours to finish the entire demo) and you get to meet most of the key players in the story. Also if you’re a cat lover, you’ll love The Inn Between, not only is Myka a cat lover but a lot of the mystical stuff that happens in the game is cat themed and there’s a (totally not creepy) black cat spirit guide that appears from time to time to help Myka. It kind of gives you the feeling that even amidst the hustle an bustle of our modern livess there’s still a bit of magic just around the next corner. The game is heavily inspired by Japanese lore and mythology, but with a modern twist so there is this otherworldly feeling throughout that I think lends itself well to mysterious vibe of the story. There were some great features in the demo that definitely set it apart, like the fun phone mechanic–you can all and text characters using a phone interface and the game is fully voiced in English, which is always a plus! I loved the vocal performances and I really hope that the final release of the game will be fully voiced as well (or partial). Curious, Myka decides to visit the inn and what he finds changes his life forever… His new inheritance includes a creepy old mansion on the outskirts of town. Hoping the lawyer will have some answers about his missing father and past, Myka agrees to meet with him and learns that he is entitled to an inheritance from his late grandfather. That is, until he receives a mysterious call from a lawyer who seems to know the truth about his family and his long forgotten past. But despite that Myka lives a relatively normal life working and spending time with his best friend, Leon.
He has no memories of his life before the age of 8 and anytime he tries to remember anything from his past he’s plagued by terrible headaches. The Inn Between is literally the perfect game for me: a modern fantasy boys love game, inspired by Japanese mythology and lore…SIGN ME UP! Myka Riley, is a normal guy–a recent college grad who moonlights as a barista at a local café.
What is known is his anger at the world, betrayed and twisted he has turned his back on all he once stood for. He’s an Aloof flirt but will do absolutely anything to protect Myka. With the ears and tail of a cat he’s a troublesome shapeshifter who seems to belong to the Inn. Trapped in a world he has no control over, torn between his feelings for his friend and his duty to his family.Įmrys: A mysterious resident of the inn, not much is known about him. Leonardo Addy: Leon adores his best friend Myka, but when he starts a new job with his father everything changes for him. The Love Interests Emrys, Myka, Leon, and Solas (top) More than anything he seeks closure on his childhood after he lost his memory in a mysterious accident. He also has a keen interest in the study of mythology and history.
A recent university graduate with a business degree, Myka spends his time sketching and working at the Merryment Café as a barista.
