As the 12th game by Sigyaad, and spiritual successor to his 3rd game, "My Inner Darkness Is A Hot Anime Girl" does not disappoint.
It continues his tradition of light hearted dialogue contrasted by darker themes, to astonishing effect, there's one scene in the second nightmare that brings a tear (of laughter) to my eye.
I really liked the AI generated sprites for enemies, thought it was a really cool idea and was executed well.
The length was also a pleasant surprise, at almost exactly one hour it dwarfs his other games.
As a fan of Sigyaad since his first game, i'm really proud to see how far he's come, and I look forward to what the future has in store.

overall, its a short game that tries to make you think about yourself if you pay attention to it. the gameplay is very straightforward and there is no side story to let you deviate. you will get about an hours worth of play time in to finish it if you look for everything you could possibly do and read everything.

but all of that is nothing compared to seeing the main character hit the gangnam style like its still 2012. we can all relate to that. dont deny it

again sigyaad makes a game that actually has an impact on me. i feel this is one of the better games in the catalogue (no topping cbt with yuuka patche dlc(i love my wife)) i would have loved to give an younger version of myself this game as it still strikes a cord for me.

ps. i want to ♥♥♥♥ kard sens i wish i was a schizo so i could see her.... why is god so cruel as to not give me my own brain kard sens

pps. attack names are genius in particular

A very fun (and depressing) short journey about overcoming anxieties and your horrible mind. art is well made, gameplay is pretty good as well, It also hints at a connected SIGYAAD Universe which is always awesome!

Overall its pretty dang charming and i enjoyed it alot. definitely worth the 5 dollars! (Also KARD SENS OH MY GOD SHES SO HOTTTTTT)

Good game overall. References are amazing (especially if you're in the SIGYAAD Discord, you should join it, it's fun). Menus are nice to look at and navigate and the combat feels very rewarding. However there are a few negative things I'd like to point out. The text is riddled with typos (either something simple like "wierdo" or punctuation where there shouldn't be any), first person mode resets when I enter a new room, and I couldn't seem to find a way to fullscreen the game.

So I like it, other than the oddities mentioned I really recommend it. Especially when you're seeing references left and right to people you know.

An RPG game themed around memes, dreams, and beating the living ♥♥♥♥ out of your inner darkness with the power of CBT (no, not THAT kind of CBT, the therapy kind). It's not too long of a ride, but it doesn't overstay its welcome either. There's also fun references to other games by this same developer if you've played the other games by them

Combat wise it's a fairly standard turn-based RPG, still fun though and I like the names of the skills (and how if you're feeling lucky you have options to more powerful version of them that have a chance of missing)

As for the art, it's pretty good. Some of the characters are actual art and there are CGs as well, while the more dreamy and nightmarish ones are AI generated art which I found to be a fairly creative use of AI art

Overall if this game appeals to you and or you enjoy others by the same developer, I'd recommend getting it

A short game about making peace with your inner darkness and learning to deal with it. By antropomorphizing it as an anime girl, we see how the shadows in our minds would act if they were a person. And, well, you might learn that the darkest part of your mind is not so bad, it can be even really hot, but you need to deal with it. This game actually has great metaphors that can be good advice in real life, and embodies a lot of stoic philosophy. As a stoic myself, I loved this. This game is so wholesome.

Thanks for existing, Sigyaad.

my first refund speedrun

The moral of the story is there's a hot anime girl inside of all of us

Sadly my inner darkness is not a hot anime girl because I have aphantasia. 0/10 couldn't relate.

(serious review: it's a short meme game that could give people in a specific situation useful advice, which is better than most meme games, but it's still just a dubiously-written meme game)
