Inked: A Tale of Love

Inked: A Tale of Love is an indie project, a puzzle platformer. The character you will play is a samurai, the Nameless Hero. From the start of the game you think you are playing as a painted ronin in a painted world. Later you realize that this story is created by the artist Adam. And you, in turn, can influence what he draws. As you play, you learn to solve puzzles using simple geometry. The game has six pieces: a ball, a square, a ramp, a bridge and several special devices. As you progress, you will find leaflets, notes, and much more from the real world. All the items will make you wonder how Adam ended up where he is today.

Having gone to the world of Adam in order to find Aiko, the hero’s beloved, who has disappeared, you find yourself in an “ink” world, where everything really looks like it was drawn with an ordinary pen, just by the hand of a master. The developers paid great attention to small details. When the hero steps on an ink stain, he will leave traces behind him. In this dimension, locations change from simple ones - in the form of a path and stones, to huge ones - in the form of a forest, swamp or village. The fates of Adam and the Nameless Hero are intertwined in a story that turns out to be much deeper than it seems at first glance. Ronin and our artist will go on an adventure full of dangers that will change both of them forever. The game is very beautifully drawn and made in a unique style of its own - storytelling on paper. All events unfold from the point of view of Adam, the creator of the Nameless Hero. Inked is an excellent representative of the genre, with an interesting plot and amazing music.
