Sex Doll Company Making Inside's Mysterious $375 Special Edition

Still pretty human

There's certainly been no shortage of peculiar special editions released over the years, but the new one announced for puzzle/adventure game Inside is particularly weird. Developer Playdead announced today that it's teaming up with sex doll manufacturer Real Doll to release a collector's edition for the game--but we have no idea what it comes with yet.

This is arguably one of the strangest partnerships for a collector's edition ever. Inside is not an especially, let's say, suggestive game; rather, it revels in dystopia, existential anxieties, and even body horror. Further, Playdead and Real Doll haven't announced what the Collector's Edition will actually include beyond the game itself, so our minds are left to come up with their own conclusions. And, at least for me, thinking of Inside's themes mixed with Real Doll's products produces some bizarre possibilities.

We do know a little about what the Collector's Edition is. It'll come with a physical copy of the PS4 version of the game, as well as Steam codes for both Inside and its predecessor, Limbo. It'll come cost you $375 as well as high shipping fees, because "this edition weights a surprising amount," according to its item description on iam8bit.

Playdead, Real Doll, and iam8bit are very cagey right now on any other details. "We will NOT tell you what it is," the description states. "Maybe it's what you're thinking… maybe not." In addition, the companies only say that it'll launch "when it's ready," and they state, "don't order if that makes you anxious."

You have until June 8, 2018 to pre-order the edition; after that date, it won't be sold again.

I read about this earlier today and I must admit, I have no idea what to make of it. Inside has some pretty dark themes; I'm trying to see how a collaboration with a sex-doll manufacturer could possibly work but to be honest I'm drawing a blank on this one. Most intriguing.

Cheers!

Indie devs got to make their bread somehow right?

Reminder that an actual fully sized sex doll apparently costs somewhere starting at $4,999 and upward, and the cheapest price for just the lower part of a sex doll (without limbs and just its private parts) costs $399.

So as strange as this partnership looks, if there is any Real Doll products inside that box alongside the game, there's probably a smaller sex toy inside, presumably versions for both genders, probably a sex toy version of that one blob monster you encounter in the game.
