General help & support for 'The Inner World'
First of all, I'm very sorry we had to abandon this Steam hub for a long time. Really wasn't our intention but yeah... it happend because of many reasons being a very small dev team and surviving as a business. This is certainly not of your concern, it is ours. As it is our concern to make it better.

But because we're a small team, it's hard to look through community hubs and forums like this one. What works way better is, that we and our Publisher usually solve support requests via email: support@studio-fizbin.de OR support@headupgames.com


If you have ANY troubles with the game which are not mentioned below, please write us. I know, it's the old fashioned way, but we can react better, keep track of emails and all in all help you better. Thanks a lot for understanding this!

Some of the reported problems can be solved by providing you with a bit of information and some savegames. So here we go!

The most issues we get reported are black screens or freezes in or after cutscenes as well as being stuck somewhere in a chapter.

Savegames for Chapter-Restarts when you're stuck:

- Start Chapter 2 (Rootforest, savegame slot 3):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByhVxHAndj7ecDlhQzgwQ1duWlU/view?usp=sharing&resourcekey=0-tzRhvBYV_yFiEUe3ZJy0Tg

- Start Chapter 3 (Wind Chapel Gate, savegame slot 3):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByhVxHAndj7eQUlVM1VtQmltZEU/view?usp=sharing&resourcekey=0-y7FaRpp8E-2y6osi2sudwA

- Start Chapter 4 (Basylians Lair, savegame slot 3):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByhVxHAndj7ecFkxUFhuVk10RU0/view?usp=sharing&resourcekey=0-unkr7m47VGkJXDG2qWo2pg

- Start Chapter 5 (Inner Courtyard, savegame slot 3):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByhVxHAndj7eQzVjR0o1cmk2cVU/view?usp=sharing&resourcekey=0-_tAGmm3hb9G6lCs-ifrBMQ



Issues in Cutscenes:
The problems during a video (no video, blurry screen, slow framerate, green screen) is most certainly related to problems with ATI graphic cards in combination with the version of Adobe Air between November '13 to January '14.

- make sure you have the latest ADOBE AIR version.
- make sure, latest ADOBE Flash player is installed
--> http://get.adobe.com/de/air/
- make sure you have latest graphics driver installed
- if you use ATI graphics, check if Mipmap Detail Level in Catalyst CC got switched to low. Set it back to high quality

- if this is of no help, please try to use an older Adobe AIR of October '13.

The problem occurs with some ATI graphics in combination with Adobe Air.



Problems with playing the flute nose song in the Wind Chapel, Chapter 3:

For this particular problem with playing the flute nose in the Wind Chapel, there was a fix done. I retestet in September 2016 with the actual Steam Version again and it works.

The correct keyboard-combination for the Steam version of the game is:

1 - - -
- 2 - 4
- - 3 -
- 2 3 -
1 - 3 -
1 - - -

With this savegame for slot 2 (officially provided by us) you can jump right into that last scene in the Wind Chapel:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByhVxHAndj7eZ0ljYzFleGNid2s/view?usp=sharing


If it still doesn't work though, here's a savegame for slot 3 bringing you right after the scene into the next story-chapter:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByhVxHAndj7ecFkxUFhuVk10RU0/view?usp=sharing

Since you would have to skip the cut-scene, you can watch it here directly in your browser:

We are really sorry for any inconveniences and problems with our THE INNER WORLD. We love to see that many gamers like it and play it, which is why we also try to help as good as possible.

Please note we can't look into the forums often, because we're really a small team. Support-Emails will be handled better.

Again, sorry and we hope you all can enjoy our very first game despite some flaws! :)

Tobias, Studio Fizbin

Today's (22. aug 2014) steam update resolve it ;)

Hi Studio Fizbin (sorry for my bad english) - After last FLASH update 13-14.0.0.X (Mac OS X 10.9.4, MBP 13" Mid2014) i can't play the inner world. After logos in the start, when I click on anything in the menu, everything disappear and only what I can see is background (which is aniamted).. Everything i have updated. I tried use older Flash version (before update) and it didn't works.. Some help? :/
Everytime I play the game, I get a black screen at the very start of it. I can see the menu, but right after I create and open my save file it happens. I'm running Ubuntu, by the way. Does anybody knows a solution to this problem? I haven't been able to find one on this forum. Sorry if there's any mistake by the way, still learning how to English :)

i have the exact same problem but on windows 10, my machine: i7 4790, nvidia gtx 680 16GB ram ddr3, air flash etc installed, everything is updated
I don't know where else to post this and didn't want to start a new topic, but since this is a developer topic you will get a notification for it I assume. :D:

In the 'Hangar' area of Chapter 4 I believe, right after you slide down the giant tube there is a sign on the wall below the tube that says 'Caution!', but when Robert reads the sign aloud, he claims that the sign says 'Attention!'. Probably too much bother to do anything about it,but maybe the sign writing can be changed? The exclamation point is an item that falls off the sign so I assume that the writing on there is interactive and can be changed?

Same here, but Windows 10 for me.
I'm getting the same problem: Kubuntu 14.04 (64-bit), AMD HD6570, Adobe AIR 2.6. :fishbun:
I get a black screen right after the escape from Laura's hideout. I can still hear some sounds and the cursor appears, but I can't click anywhere. If this is where the chapter 1 achievement should unlock, that doesn't happen either. Drivers and Adobe Air are up to date.

Windows 7 Pro 64bit, NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M, Adobe Air 20.0

Appart from that, I love the quirky humor of the game.

I have the same problem as you and have nearly the same stats of my computer. I find this game very good but this not so a good thing.
I had same problem and resolved with : "https://get.adobe.com/air/?loc=de"
Got back to give this game another try and with the latest version of Adobe Air the problem seems to be resolved.

Updated some help and generel information!
In chapter two, while playing with Laura I had a chili box item in my inventory after a while it randomly disappear and I can't progress without the chili box T_T :boycry:
The bird (peck) is missing from the inner court yard. I might've left him somewhere else outside the inner courtyard which is now blocked by Conroy's Basillian...how can I get to press the red button without Peck?! Please help!!
hey so idk if this post is still being looked at, but my game bugged out while making the cookie key, and nowq I have two key cases/one with and without a cookie key in them, and the normal cookie key and it won't let me leave the room. I tried loading a chapter 3 save but I'm using the discord client and it seems that the files are different than they are in the steam version as the place people have said to put it does not exist
I am in chapter four, and i can not get the diamond, because I have no conroy puppet. The last time I used them was at the oven, but I did not get the puppet back.
