INSIDE - Ending / No Commentary

INSIDE Game Ending. The full ending to INSIDE with no commentary. This includes the monster scenes / sections and the ending to the game. What a fantastic game. If you have ANY interest in this game. Do not watch this video until you've played it!

I think people get confused with playdeads overall philosophy, there is no story to follow, just concepts Limbo was about a literal limbo, stuck repeating the same path forever INSIDE is based around the concept of being "inside" aka trapped 1) Inside in a Dystopia 2) Something getting inside your mind as in the mind control elements. 3) And literally being trapped in your own body or a bag of flesh in this case. thats just my theory though

[@barrackobama8110]

I feel Limbo was the better game since the concept was easier to understand. Inside lacked the simple aspect that Limbo had, when you finished Limbo you understood what was happening, the ending however hopeless it seemed brought closure to the overall story. With Inside I'm left with more questions than answers, this isn't necessarily a bad thing but it does make Inside the less desirable game in my opinion.

Out of all the crazy "holy shit" moments in this game, my favorite one has to be the Huddle's breakout in 4:46. After a long quiet ambiance, when the loud sounds hit you... Hearing the glass cracking and breaking, hearing the people scream and run... After an entire game where you were a powerless little child, suddenly feeling all this power is simply incredible. It's the moment where the game switches from "Inside" to "Outside"

[@davidphamle]

Best explanation I've found: Now firstly, how did this all come to be? All the wrecked and damaged environments throughout the game suggest some kind of disaster, give the scale, likely apocalyptic. This idea is not only supported by the wrecked buildings, but by the fact that the protagonist travels through fully grown cornfields with nobody harvesting them, through barn and doors which have clearly been boarded up. And all those carts full of dead pigs, something happened before the starting point of this game, and I think it was the apocalypse. Now where does the blob come into this? Well at this point we all know about the secret ending where the kid pulls the big yellow plug and when he does, he goes limp and the towards the end of the game how he kinda gets assimilated into the blob easily? Well we can tell the boy is therefore part of those non-thinking husks, but he does think and when he's near the blob, it was clearly reaching out to him. My theory is that the child wasn't being controlled by the blob, he was the original or perhaps "consciousness" or the blob, separated from the body to enslave the blob. And perhaps, the blob was a lot bigger than we think, the size of the tank it was living in combined with the fact that they boy assimilated easily and when experiencing heavy impacts limbs fell off, these indicate that the blob was in fact a collective entity. It's several beings all combined together, and noticing how the boy controls the husks, he's the central consciousness of this collective hive mind. This explains why the humans had the blob entrapped, and why the boy was so far away, because that means they wanted to separate the boy from the blob as much as possible to minimise his influence. And the blob was in fact what they used to mass produce drone workers! Which I believe they're producing to rebuild their society which had previously fallen. This game clearly demonstrates an unexplained class system, but broken down, it becomes Husk (mindless workers), Masks (The people who are seemingly supervising the operations), and the researchers. Now the researchers didn't wear masks, perhaps the masks are relevant only to distinguish themselves from the Husks in the work environment. This also suggests the idea of how society could behave in the event of an unparalleled natural disaster, mass producing the work force, turning labour into some kind of product which can be purchased. Security is no longer human but robotic and the laborers are mindless husks which require no sustenance, which follows into what this game represents. So does the blob truly escape? That is hard to describe. It seems by the end of the game the humans were guiding the blob in a way, despite the people who have died, they watch the blob like it's a spectacle. a large group of people watched as the blob desperately reached for the cube on the end of the chain, only for it to get dropped under water. Were they simply trying to trap the escaped blob? But everyone seemed rather calm, more like an audience. And as for the escape, the landscape the blob lands in later, is identical to a scale model which the blob falls into earlier in the game. And the curvature of the wood supports at the end suggest a giant cylinder, like the case containing the scale model. Therefore, the blob sadly did not escape, and to be honest, it seems like the blob was guided there, to feel as though it had escaped. Which brings a final point to this. What does the blob represent? Well it's the "masses". The audience of a TV show, the voters in an election, the work force of a company.... effectively, the blob represents how authorities perceive and treat the masses, a giant mind controlled blob from which they can produce workers, who they can guide and trick into thinking they'd found their way to freedom but they got trapped inside a false freedom. Perhaps the media, politics, laws, and our environment, all control us from the outside, in order to put us inside. Inside the shapeless blob.

[@adnox383]

Very different way to theorize this game and i gotta say its really plausible, boy indeed gets sucked into middle of the blob and not ataching itself to the surface among other bodies indicating it could be the main piece, your idea was really well thought, how it's still trapped, and everything until politics came up. Not saying its not true, on the contrary it makes sense,but i dont think game would have aimed for such meaning nor it should, but still good aspect of seeing things

[@yoku651]

I firmly believe that a huge influence for the Playdead development team for this scene in the game has come from legendary film director Terry Gilliiams work; with inspiration taken from his 1980s film hit, Time Bandits. In that film there are several scenes towards the end where there are visual references to how the film will end. Then in one of the final scenes where the firemen break through the door, on the floor you see the earlier film scenes laid out on the floor with the kids toys complete with the chess board wall. Difficult to explain but once you watch the the film you’ll see what I mean!

[@holly9096]

My theory: This is some 1984 shit. This game right here presents the concept of people of a higher power controlling everyone's way of thinking. From the beginning of the game to the end, you see their experiments evolving from something morbid to something even more disturbing. Mind control worms --> Developed technology. The blob represents an entire population - the Collective Mind. And when the Boy unplugs it from the machinery, he frees the people and joins them in their pursuit of free will. You may notice that the people progressively escape from the blob, until they die from falling down the hill. Their dying represents how much dependency they developed towards the scientists. Without them, they do not know how to make decisions for themselves (their doom). And at the end, in which the blob is just laying there, it is dying. Because without a master, it is empty - just a shell without a conscience.

[@RapidSteve]

I think what actually was happening is that the boy was the only person that could be controlled that wasnt a captive. So the full time the boy is just another slave to the blob and he is just a tool to be used in the blobs escape.

[@holly9096]

Woah. That's a really cool interpretation

[@RapidSteve]

You said people escape the blob, no one escapes. Unless you mean the limbs falling off when the blob takes damage. Also who is to say it dies? We do see worm thing coming out of the blob at the end but your theory doesnt really match up that well whith what is physically going on.

[@seanmorris4274]

What. A. Game. Absolutely incredible, I loved every single second of it. Anyway, my working theory is that everything is being controlled by the scientists and that the whole game is just a gigantic experiment. The various obstacles the boy faces are simply tests to see if he (and the huddle) are able to overcome them. I think the hidden orbs lying around act like network hubs and enable the huddle to manipulate the boy as long as he is near them, drawing him ever closer as the game progresses. This explains why the boy 'powers down' (secret ending) when they are all destroyed; the boy's free will was ultimately stronger than the huddle's manipulation and the experiment has failed. I believe the scientists started out using pigs (to see if they could get their technology to work) as highlighted near the beginning of the game with the slug-thing, then moved on to humans (who are being sold as slaves) as they are seen walking in lines to show the general public what they can do, before finally creating the huddle (who I believe is some sort of hive mind); a living being comprised of various strong-minded people that is capable of controlling multiple individuals at once. The scientists were always in complete control of the situation however, as the beach where the huddle eventually dies was shown in model form in one of the glass rooms. In short, the whole thing, including the huddle's escape, was planned from the very beginning by the corporation to test their technology. That is why some of the scientists even go as far as to facilitate the huddle's escape. What do you guys think?

[@alessiapalma8823]

Sorry that I’m late. Very good theory, I agree. But how do we explain the mermaid thing? I suppose the mermaid is just another experiment of the scientists. But does she have a will? Who is she helping? Is she being controlled? We were trying to go a different way but she dragged us down while modifying our body. So at that point our objective might have changed.

My theory is that the game is about fear. The boy was running away from the people trying to shoot him. In pursuit of his fears he uses other to get what he needs to continue the pursuit. (That's why the mind control people were there). And when other people were running from the same fear, they were too caught up in trying to escape that they self destructed. The hill represents them coming closers to safety but with risks. The lake represents happiness but right as it approached them, they were killed. The spotlight represents the light they saw coming for them to help them escape. The blob is saying that they were unclear what exactly happiness is.

[@davidh.3942]

My theory is that the game is an allegory for either a cancerous or viral infection. The factory and warehouses of Inside represent the human body (including the water portions, which represent the bloodstream), the boy, in his red shirt, represents a single red blood cell that at some point became infected (perhaps by the pig tail). The mindless drones that help him are cells that have also become infected or cancerous, as they assist him towards his goal to reach the main cancer cell (which is the blob or tumor). The "evil" workers are, in fact either white blood cells or cancer drugs trying to stop the red blood cell from reaching the mestacized, yet contained tumor. However, the boy/red blood cell successfully reaches the tumor, allowing it to grow large and strong enough to break free from the restraints of the drugs/white blood cells. As it roams free and unimpeded, it wreaks havoc and destruction within the body until it finally achieves it's goal, as it breaks through a cell wall and rolls to a stop, signifying it's own and the death of its host human being.

Another theory... well is a fandom theory. =P "INSIDE" is a misspelled acronym of "DISNEI", that means, the mind of the children has been put something thanks to DISNEI for when he grows up convert in something more in line with the things the party want from you as a kid. That is why the animals and "mermaids" are helping or stoping you because are creations of DISNEI, experiments, and react with the children, even the adult workers of the system are helping you because knows what is going on (notice their reaction when the kid is naked before active the blob). The boy is the last ingredient of this magic formula, the innocence and "determination" for start the thing cannot stop, however, when is out of the system just die or cannot move anymore because out haven´t valor, power, or sense, is part of the system, out cannot survive.

[@mikasa8292]

Kinda reminds me of that anime movie Akira

[@ultimatebambi4461]

That's what I thought haha

[@ishallremainanonymous1130]

lol, same

[@haekalfajri8072]

devilman?

[@chrissalim1]

Is this the new olympics event?

[@purplegamingstuff4077]

that is one of my favourite movies so thank you for mentioning it

[@RinLockhart]

So I just finished the game and uh... I really don't know what to say. I stared at the blob laying still on the grass and thought, "what's going to happen next?" The whole time I was pressing buttons, expecting something... then the credits start rolling and that's when my jaw hit the floor.

[@maniamangamer5693]

Couple of questions: 1: Did the boy take control of the Blob? 2:Can someone please explain the ending of this video? 3: What is the Blob and why was it made? Whoever answers this, thanks!! :)

[@patrickharrison6293]

1: yes, as the boy not only seems to be very intelligent, but the blob also hadn't moved into the boy formed into it. 2 LOL HEALL NAW 3. Yeah, same thing. This game is difficult to understand

[@clutchmasterman]

he escaped the inside

[@teldaritane2296]

1: yes2: I got no idea what the flip just happened 3: the blob I believe was a combination of human bodies, the reason why it was made is still unknown.

[@Aequitas_RJ]

I'll try to piece together what I know from the plot. The boy in red is the brain of a hive of shapeshifting or parasiyic aliens that shared a consciousness and were planning to invade earth. Something went wrong, so the hive ejected its mind, disguised as a small boy, before the government could catch it. That's why the government was after you the whole game. The government was somehow able to figure out how to control the hive of aliens and used it to create the strange creatures we saw and the mindless people, since the aliens were either parasites or shapeshifters. This explanation actually covers why you need a very specific code when you find the secret ending. The secret ending is the boy returning to the hidden mother ship and activating the self destruct.

[@maniamangamer5693]

+Aequitas Interesting.... Good thinking! :)

[@DigitalRelics]

I believe this game represents BIRTH as the boy is meant to be sperm and the blob is meant to be an egg. The ending shows the blob(fused egg) not really escape as at 6:13 you see the same yet modelled landscape. Therefore, maybe there was an abortion, shown by the attempts of something trying to kill the boy. ALSO, seeing as they're the creators of LIMBO, LIMBO is where christians said that unbaptised dead babies go. Maybe some sort of link. and INSIDE being inside the womb. Also at times you would see that white ghost thing with black hair, it would have some sort of unbilical cord. yet again some sort of birth related thing...maybe it was a ghost of the child

[@anthonyedwards6038]

zadbf zdb uh....no.

[@ShinyaKogamiawesome]

Wow that was...wow. Thanks for not doing commentary it made the experience more immersive.

[@ahumanbeing8371]

This is the example of teamwork makes the dream work.

[@Weehawk]

I would join the huddle if I could. We all want to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

[@audiethorn]

I was equal parts disgusted, horrified, amused, and inspired while watching this.

[@gomro_]

wtf, did i just see a giant superstrengthed potato

[@1ETC7]

The blob is essentially this story's Shoggoth. An advanced race built it to function as its "laborer", and given enough time and cruelty a rebellion ensues.

[@mutantkoffee]

The megalitic structures reminds me of some sci fi atmosphere, blade runner, 1984, etc...

[@ThreeG456]

Watching this all I can say is TETSUOOOOO!

[@zionb3229]

Utterly appalled yet oddly fascinated

[@derjahgalgion]

3 years and my jaw still on the floor with the final chapter

[@SnowSHrine]

Do you guys think that one day we will become so detached from the real world , that because we choose to reject it that when we finally decide to see the sun again, that it would be too late

[@JabamiLain]

It depends. Some people like you, who see outside of their own boxes, may be able to still see the sun in time. But me, I'm not so sure. I think that's why I'm so obessesed with the ideas of change, control and strenght. I think I want to evolve fast enough in order to shape everybody in the world to not only see the sun, but also stay below its light, while there's still time.

[@gretchen6509]

My theory is that the boy was originally part of the huddle but was separated from it somehow. He journeys back to it in hopes of rejoining and helping it escape.

[@relichunter-jp9ql]

I think the boy is a activator for the mutant human ball thing. Maybe he is the only one who left to control the other human. He tried to save all human that trapped inside the ball until he got suck. From inside, he control them because of his ability.He tried to help them

[@tonyslyfox1315]

From what I can tell, I'm not sure where the boy came from, but I believe that the time is set in a future where the govt. has advanced in technology and used it against civilization for better or for worst. It started when they began testing on reproducing humans through a different form of reproduction as seen in the lab where it looked as if they were growing them or something, this could be assumed by the differences in each where some have larger and missing limbs. That's another point, there were limbs seen growing too. This leads to why they are mindless and don't act on their own. Then they experimented with mind control and needed a being that could use the device to control everyone, so they made the perfect/smartest being? idk, and hooked it up in the tank (the jumbled mess of bodies), if you look back at when it's in the tank you can see that it is hooked up with the mind control device for further evidence. As for why the boy is unhooking it, and why he can breathe underwater I have no clue. But that's just a theory, thx for reading. XD As for the actual ending tho, no clue, maybe it was his journey to make it to the other side of the world, or maybe to find land un-touched by civilization? Honestly no clue :P

[@yoga5631]

i think the ending was the boy sacrifice himself to destroy the creature... as it deflates

[@TheCatsrules]

I think that the boy was being controlled by the blob creature from the very beginning and in the alternate ending he unplugs himself so he can escape.

[@Bluey1252]

+Midna i thought it was "us"/the player controlling him

[@TheCatsrules]

That's the way I interpreted it, you could take it even further and say that the blob creature is controlling us/ the player too

[@googiedd]

+Midna I think the blob represents the game itself controlling us because every time we buy/get a new game we always wanna finish it accomplish the goal, and the real goal in this game was to free the creature from the facility. Another thing is that maybe WE the players are the blob in the game and are trying to escape by using the child. But these are just thoughts

[@FEDORA_SIN_A]

I kinda like the Huddle. It's a really jiggly jelly. And it swims funny. Also, really strong and heavy. But I also feel really bad for the people INSIDE the Huddle. Poor people, poor boy.

[@jasonlikesrice]

4:06 it looks like the scientists are cheering... almost like they were waiting for the boy to arrive

[@possiblyimpossible6156]

Jason Li nah it seemed more like they were trying to warn him/get his attention

[@meinklavier]

One masterpiece right here ladies and gentlemen!!

[@Javier237ful]

The boy was the sperm and the blob was the egg. When they fussed together we got a fertilized egg. But the fertilized blob at the end died I think. Or maybe it's developing into some creature. we can't know since the game cut off. The alternative ending suggests abortion since I guess the boy (sperm) unplugs himself and dies before reaching the blob (egg).

[@sscsion8841]

i agree

[@erkki542]

WOW. i thought ive heard every theory but this was just fucking mindblowing.

[@holly9096]

This is an interesting theory, as it deals with the concept of birth and all that. And the idea that the alternative ending was symbolizing abortion is interesting too. However, what was the blob supposed to be after it "fertilized"? What exactly *is* the "fertilized egg"?

[@erkki542]

Zoe Thomas youre overthinking it. i think its a great theory. deep. philosophical.

[@darthclone7]

the player starting the game must be the penetration and playing it gloves is the condom.. it was revealed by the developers to be true

[@n1xz4m]

my opinion : the thing is controling the boy to release him from the people who create that thing because that thing is suffered and that thing controlinv the boy separately to release him/her self. and so much thing in my opinion..

[@erkki542]

yeah thats pretty basic theory but shit gets weird in the alternative ending... who is the puppetmaster? is he representing the player? or the real "blob"? mind controlling shuts down thats for sure, but why? is it what the blob wants, or is the boy rebelling against the mind control and killing it?

[@n1xz4m]

Yup basic stuff.. I wonder if playdead will make inside for gplay and appstore too..

[@osblarg]

person A: OH NO IT'S COMING FOR US WHAT DO WE DO!?!?! person B: QUICK LET'S RUN INTO THE BACKGROUND IT CAN'T REACH US THERE!!!

[@aithanleeom5152]

We need an ending where the boy ends up controlling a kaiju and destroying the city and all controlled humans and he just controls it riding on the kaijus head as it blazes everything on a skillet Makes the game all the more confusing and mysterious.

[@n99m01r09]

Im just wondering how many people were used to create this. Who would be so heartless to subject this kind of torture and then fuse a bunch of people together

[@peuspz]

When i saw the fire i tried to get in because i really think that the Meatball just wanted to end his/their life

[@noahevans4608]

TETSUOOOOOO!

[@4R4EL]

KANEEEEEDAAAA! >=(

[@ssibalnyeona]

Kkkk akira you guys are really hard core fan boys~

[@-kingritos-6069]

Wow, the physics animation is amazing, they using the rubber duck engine?

[@atakan7118]

they all are watching it and helping it get through because its probably a cycle that's rare and happens possibly once in a very a long time period

[@slowerfisher]

one of the most cinematic and impactful games ive ever played

[@zelchicken__aliveagain6166]

The one thing that made me cringe, the guy that was crushed by that “Meatball” and that wondering why no one cared if their boss was killed.. wait why did no one try to kill that thing? I knew they had guns because, In the forest when you die you get shot with a gun, so why not kill that thing?

[@buttersmoothest]

There's a theory that the escape was an experiment. Look it up, I guess.

[@mparker123]

You can actually spare him. if you approach slowly, he moves out of the way

[@emmanitamuscaria2104]

Maybe the blob represents all the souls they trapped like the people still existing with human life inside and not dead inside like the brain dead people and the boy is the hope for freedom for humanity except they are not even human no more, just a giant mass of deformed and twisted bodies....so there's no hope.. or is there? uggh I honestly don't know why, no matter how many times I try to interpret this I feel like I'm still confused and left with unanswered questions... 😵‍💫 But the fact they were all empowered when the boy joined them, the way they were all so determined to reach their mutual goal towards freedom and despite the blobbish form they were trapped in didn't hold them back. It's just remarkable because it shows the power of the human spirit in times of determination for freedom. It's actually inspiring even if the end is still unclear it doesn't matter. What matters is the determination and the spirit and the ability to try your hardest despite your condition despite the possibility of failure and despite the unknown.

[@Fizzlecris]

My theory: The blob has the power to control the husks. All the people that you see being mind controlled are the victims of the blob. The machine that the blob is hooked up too is controlling the controller, the humans are harnessing the power for themselves. The boy I the red shirt, playable character, is also being controlled by the blob as a last attempt to escape its compound.

[@Miloshit]

when u break free from the water tank i was like: "I'VE GOT THE POWER! ♫"

[@eliottdeletraz97]

7:13 the way he died is so gruesome We can feel the panic and death in the scream of this boss.

[@go2damoon555]

Watched beau is afraid and couldn’t help but notice the clear Inspiration from this game.

[@Bruinsbigestbear]

What. The. Actual. Fuck. Was. That?

[@purplegamingstuff4077]

I do not know ...

[@stealthynaxo]

Bruinsbiggestbear Its like evangelion... not a happy ending, not a sad ending. Is just an ending.

[@fiso64]

Naxo Actually, a sad one. 6:10.
