Ink Inside - First Page

⠀

"Ink Inside - First Page" is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "Ink Inside". Ink Inside is a mediocre and arguably failed attempt to make a 2.5D cartoony RPG with a convoluted yet also utterly uninteresting plot about a failed cartoon, a character "inked" into existence... ugh. It's like you take the plot for Bendy and the Ink Machine, remove all the good bits, and leave the rest in a lacklustre console-esque action game... in fact I'm a little curious why this was rejected by Sony and Microsoft for their respective consoles. Ink Inside isn't even a complete game, the developers gave up halfway through and published what they'd done as if it was a complete game. If I had gotten suckered into buying it without being told that, I'd be feeling very ripped off. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not Ink Inside, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch t…

I enjoyed this enough that I grabbed the main game. Still looking forward to seeing more.

After playing for only two sessions - and laughing more than a dozen times to it in one day I can confidently say this is already one of my favorite games of the year. The characters are so amazing, the portrayal of serious topics is never too serious, and the music will stick in your head. I adore this game with all my heart.

This game is AMAZING. It has amazing art, absolutely lovable characters, cool game concept, interesting and lived-in world building and the catchiest soundtrack I've heard this year.

My new favorite when it comes to "earthbound"-like indie RPG games. "Ink Inside" has incredibly good writing, voice acting, characters, and artwork. I've never been in a dodgeball match myself, I think, but this game manages to encapsulate some fun ways to aim and attack things REALLY well.
