Inner Worlds was originally released as Shareware, but was subsequently made available for free as the game was really written for DOS, and very few machines still run DOS.
Unfortunately, after we decided to make the game available for free, we found that the number of people downloading the game resulting in a tremendous amount of extra load on our website. This extra load resulted in our website hosting service charging us extra money each month because we went beyond our limit.
Now, we don't mind giving the game away to anyone who wants it as long as it doesn't cost us anything (that's just how gosh awful generous we are), but we are not quite willing to pay so that others can have it for free.
As such, please understand that because of all this, we have been forced to discontinue the free downloading of Inner Worlds from this website.
However, if you can find the game for download from some other site, then "lucky you"! Grab it and enjoy!
If you can't find it, but REALLY REALLY REALLY want to play the game (and who can blame you), then you still have one option. You can get it on Steam for just a few bucks by going to:
Please understand, however, that:

One of these days, we'll update the game to work with modern computers, but until then, those are your only options. Sorry.
Thanks to all those people who bought and enjoyed the game over the years. And thanks for all of the kind comments and praise. It is a great game and we enjoyed bringing it to you.
Above all, no matter what you do ...
