About Inked: A Tale of Love

The land seemed peaceful now, so the Nameless Hero put his sword aside. However, his adventures were not over – he had to begin a perilous journey when he lost his true love, the beautiful painter Aiko. Armed only with his wits, his valor, and a magical paintbrush, he would soon discover how the pen can be mightier than the sword.

Inked is a hand-drawn puzzle adventure set in a mythological world of beautiful ballpoint pen landscapes, inspired by Japanese folk tales. As the Nameless Hero, explore 10 different minimalistic worlds searching for your lost love Aiko, using your magical paintbrush to solve puzzles in a heartwarming story that will move and shake you to the core.

"Draw" your own journey in a stunning ballpoint pen-drawn world
Explore 10 different hand-drawn paper worlds full of beautiful landscapes, fauna and flora, and awe-inspiring architecture that will marvel you at every step.

The path in front of you is full of threats and perils that you’ll have to overcome in order to get your loved one back. Use your magical paintbrush to draw geometrical shapes to clear obstacles and solve puzzles. Each puzzle will connect you more with the protagonist and draw you deeper into the world created by The Artist.
A multi-layered narrative that breaks the fourth wall
Following the Nameless Hero’s steps, there is a mysterious voice – the Artist, the person who drew the world where the adventure takes place. Your story and his are connected in many ways – and your journey will touch your hearts and change you forever.
A heart-warming story to comfort your soul
Inked is a wholesome narrative-driven puzzle game, a heart-warming story about loss and hope in a time where we all need some comfort.

A nice, short puzzle game that's an easy 100% completion in under 5 hours. The gameplay itself is enjoyable and the story is okay, but honestly, it would have been a much better experience without the narrator. Overall, a decent pick-up on sales for a quick playthrough.

This game is really pretty. The sketchy, ink style is so unique and the puzzles were all decently challenging! Each level also adds a new gimmick that kept the game fresh and interesting the whole way through! The narrative also went a direction I was not expecting and it made the experience all the better for it! I would definitely recommend!

my oh my. I went absolutely blind to Inked, and mostly because I am learning to play with controller. And I absolutely wasn't ready for such a lovely, emotional and beatiful experience. Unique visual with simple yet sometimes head-scratching moments, absolutely gorgeous soundtrack and humane vibe. I can't recommend it more if you want something casual but not without a purpose and you enjoy puzzles as well. Loved it.

one of the most visually distinctive games I've seen for a long time - never mind your poly count, ray tracing or any modern effects, this blends simplicity and elegance in a way that's just beautiful. Turns out its a fairly short game, but that's not a bad thing - it has some interesting and not obvious puzzles, tells the story it has to tell and in the best way possible, left me wanting more.

Cute experience. VERY SIMPLE puzzle game.

Short game about dealing with grief and moving on. Some interesting puzzles. Get it in a discount if you like storytelling and you don't mind short games.
