About the Game

Inner Struggle is an endless 2D Runner-style game, with its scenery composed of sections positioned in a completely random sequence during the runs.

ENDURE THE STRUGGLE

There is no rest here:
Even before starting a match, Sophie will be tormented by her self-destructive thoughts. It's up to you to guide her reflections and help her try to get out of this situation.

Never look back:
Inactivity is not an option in this hostile environment. Sophie can run, jump, charge, cling to higher platforms and climb them while trying to escape the terrible threats surrounding her.

Avoid the distress:
Obstacles and abysses are her least concern. Sophie will always be amidst monsters that will mercilessly attack her at the first opportunity, and persevering in the face of such turmoil will be nothing short of a challenge.

Every mistake is irreversible
Sophie is trapped in a severe vicious cycle, and returns to her initial state whenever she is defeated. Any progress she has made during the run is lost, leaving only the notes she records in her diary.
