Inner Worlds is an unusual platform game. The hero, a woman named Nikita, can change into a wolf and back again at will, provided that she has enough mana. As a wolf, she can jump higher and viciously bite enemies. As a woman, she can climb ladders and wield weapons. In either form, she can collect and use potions to retore health, jump higher, or become temporarily invincible. The game was developed by a community of volunteers who were recruited on a Linux Usenet group. The game looks beautiful by DOS standards but, after three years in development, the graphics looked dated compared to the 3D first-person shooters that had taken over the market, and Sleepless' founder considered the game a commercial failure. Sleepless declared the game freeware, but no longer hosts the full version due to bandwidth concerns. There are 3 episodes in this game, with only the first episode playable in the shareware version.

Episode 1: Wizard's World
Episode 2: World of Change
Episode 3: Heart of the World
