- Twilight Melancholy - 17 September 2025
Hello Inspectors,To conclude this series on new lighting environments, here is a quick preview of our twilight setting.I only spent a few hours exploring this subconscious, but this mental journey exhausted me more than a real hike. I spent too much time working on this Inspector program, and the few days in the isolation room only increased my already existing tension.I should take a break, but the light of this sunset, with its purple reflections and surreal moon rising above the temple, captivates me.Despite the sound of the stream, I hear the murmur of an approaching sentinel. I cautiously move away, and once out of range, it forgets about me, leaving me free to lose myself in the landscape.
- Age of a New Dawn - 11 September 2025
Hello Inspectors,It seems you enjoyed the new lighting atmospheres we prepared for you. Today, we’re unveiling a new scene with a magnificent sunrise. We hope you like it as much as the previous one.These are my first steps in this universe. After a few days spent in the isolation chamber – a necessary precaution for any Inspector – I’m thrilled to be walking and breathing in the fresh air, even if it’s all just a dreamlike landscape created by my patient’s mind.My heart beats faster. This journey marks the beginning of a new era. If I can manage to wake this patient from their coma, the possibilities could be endless.The warm light of the dawn makes me forget the icy bite of the snow on my feet. I spot a tower on a hill ahead of me, surrounded by a luminous halo that urges me to explore it.I begin my ascent of the hill at a leisurely pace.
- Sweet Night - 3 September 2025
Hello Inspectors,While replaying Firewatch, I realized just how much changes in lighting shape the atmosphere and the scenery of a game. We’ve therefore decided to create different lighting moods, currently based on four modes: dawn, day, dusk, and night.It’s still a work in progress, but we wanted to share one of these atmospheres with you.As you approach the summit, your breath nearly falters. Not from exhaustion — such a thing has no place here. The northern lights spill across the sky, and a violet moon rising on the horizon strikes a dazzling contrast against them.You step toward the warm glow of a campfire. In the frozen beauty of this night, each footfall crunches in the snow with a strangely satisfying sound — like a thousand tiny bubbles bursting beneath your feet. Far below, the hum of a sentinel drifts upward, but at this distance its drone is almost soothing.For a moment, yo…
- Spotlight on the Sentinels - 26 July 2025
Hello Inspectors,Today, we're going to discover a little of The Inspector's lore with the sentinels. These organisms, which protect the subconscious of your patients, patrol (or wander?) the coma in search of intruders. Avoid the areas where they are located, because if they detect you, they will move towards you to dissuade you from further exploration.Don't worry, however, if you lack reflexes or are allergic to nervous gameplay. The Inspector remains a dreamlike, relaxing adventure. There's no "Game Over" or adrenaline rush (as it was sometimes the case in Breaking Lockdown and Wild Dose).Take a deep breath, Inspectors, and enjoy your escapade into the subconscious!

- The Inspector: Steam Deck Compatibility - 24 October 2023
Hello Inspectors, As many of you have asked to provide information about Steam Deck Compatibility, here's an official update. In the current state, the Steam Deck version should be "playable". We are liaising with Steam Support to start the review process (Steam Deck review process is not enabled by default for all developers). So as to get the "Steam Deck Verified" badge (and also "Full controller support"), we will have to develop a few "quality of life features", that we're targeting to have implemented prior to release. As usual, we'll keep you posted. Until then, don't hesitate if you have any questions. Thank you. The InspecTeam

A lot of stuff going on in the past months, let's check together: Tiny Teams The Tiny Teams is a private event on Steam, curated by Yogcast.

- The Inspector is a finalist in the #PitchYaGame Awards 2021! - 10 December 2021

- The demo season is over! - 9 October 2021
Thanks to everyone who has stopped on my page! During this long week, I received tons of feedback and some of you have made some precious video footage, giving me hints to understand where the major issues with the game are. Overall this Steam Next Fest was amazing! I'm impressed by the result! - 1062 new wishlist (steam) - 360 unique users have played the demo - over 500 joined during stream! The main problems that the community has found are: - Pixel graphic. Someone loves it, others really hate it. (there is one guy that asked me if his graphic card is broken...). ACTION ---> pixel graphics should be an option. - Performance. If the game doesn't run on smooth 60 fps on a potato, people generally tend to think your product is crap. ACTION ---> I need to optimize as much as I can the game! - PMF. The last portion of the game, where you need to use the PMF, wants really clear. People st…
- The PMF and the Inspector's Handbook - 4 October 2021
During the Steam Fest, I notice some people struggling with the use of the PMF. I understand that the tutorial is not clear enough and I'm already working on that. For the moment, I have made a guide for you, to help in the use of this instrument. Check HERE the guide! I'd like also to remind you that exists also a little WIKI about the game (still in progress) where you can find more info behind the world of The Inspector! Thanks, everyone for the time spent with my game!
