Ink Inside

HELLO CREATORS!

We're the small team of ex-Cartoon Network (+horror) devs behind INK INSIDE, a cozy & chaotic story-driven action RPG unlike anything you've ever played! Ink Inside is best described as a game with heart, beat-em-up & ball combat, laughably weird items, local co-op, crazy deep lore, live action cutscenes, a human orchestrated soundtrack, all handmade assets, and full VO. (With a fun cast including Brian David Gilbert).

With the addition of our new S+ mode, INK INSIDE  can be really F@#K'n hard! 
As Traff would say... 

You can absolutely still play the game on normal difficulty too! (Which has a TON of options for all playstyles including casual!) As S+ mode is just an option you select when creating a new save file. While Ink Inside is a tribute to Cartoon Networks greatest shows of the past, our newest S+ "F@#k’n Hard" mode is a tribute to the ragequit video games of that same era. The entire game becomes a tutorial for getting gud enough to even try S+ mode, which is why we reccomend beating it on normal first! 

Ink Inside: S+ is ONLY available on STEAM March 27th
(or just for you right now! Read below on how to access it early!)

STEAM KEYS are PROVIDED! :D

 

Be one of the FIRST PEOPLE to complete S+ mode and win the below merch! 

(Beating S+ mode will also give you a final hint towards solving our secret ARG to access a password protected website... visit our Discord for more details or if you like lore diving and a story driven puzzle outside the game <3) 

 
Here's a HYPE video just for you about the game, how it plays, what makes it engaging, how it was made, and why streamers have a great time playing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hbs_G3IGRyM
(I get a bit unhinged in it...)
 
We'd honestly LOVE your help in creating content and visibility for us during our S+ launch on March 27th, and far after!

Press 1: [Score: 9/10] - "Ink Inside is basically what would happen if an elementary school notebook, a lost episode of Cartoon Network, and a tropical storm decided to throw a rave inside your console. It's an action RPG, yes, but one that doesn't take itself seriously."

Press 2: [Score: 9/10] - "If you're looking for a cooperative action-RPG that doesn't feel like a mere variation on familiar systems, and that embraces a truly "animation-like" aesthetic, even in the pacing of the scenes and the characterization, Ink Inside possesses a rare singularity.”

Press 3: [#1 upcoming game at LA Comicon] - “One of the first things that grabbed my attention was the emotional depth of Ink Inside’s story. The game manages to combine light-hearted cartoon charm with real emotional stakes. The poignant live-action cutscenes explore themes of memory and friendship, making the gameplay feel even more meaningful. The team behind the game includes developers who worked on Steven Universe: Unleash the Light, so it’s no surprise that Ink Inside nails the whimsical yet heartfelt tone.

(We dare you to beat S+ mode and earn one of these Traff pins! >:D )
