About The Inside Game

The Inside Game is an independent game-design publication that treats every article as a case file: a specific question, a documented subject and an interpretation that stays honest about its limits. Readers can follow systems, spaces, dialogue and the decisions that make play readable.

Our editorial team

A shared byline lets the publication separate description from interpretation. The team names the mechanic, space or conversation being discussed, then shows how that detail supports the larger reading.

Editorial policy

Articles stay within the publication's stated scope and avoid unsupported scores, quotes, affiliations, author credentials, and current-news claims.

How we make our guides

Guides start with a defined editorial brief and pass automated checks for facts, links, accessibility, and quality before publication.
