Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 19, 2026)

A live action interactive film about a group of women held in a guarded building, Inner Scales 1:Choice scores 74.0, though reviews split on its story.

👍 Strengths

170 reviews come for the cast, praising familiar actors, strong performances, makeup and costumes. 39 find the character visuals appealing, with several treating it as a treat for fans. 37 value the branching story, with choices that matter and multiple endings that invite replays. Visuals & Sound ranks 743rd of 1249, and Pricing & Fairness ranks 143rd of 1399. Some praise the first person scenes for their immersion.

👎 Where it falls short

140 reviews say the story barely exists, with static dialogue scenes, little logic behind the setup and a plot that puts players to sleep. 31 find each day repetitive, visiting every woman in turn in the same few rooms. 15 criticize the controls and interface, citing missing back or pause buttons, an awkward save screen and quick time events that feel tacked on. Others say the budget clearly went to the cast instead of sets. Story & World appears in 92% of reviews and ranks 846th of 1096, and Gameplay ranks 725th of 1396.
