Dead Ink

About This Game

In the year 2207 the quantum state of your brain was encoded in a stream of photons and beamed into the cosmos. A pioneer of a glorious new age of light-speed travel, destined for fame and glory… at least that was the plan.

Fight

Plunged into a hostile world where every being is made of ink and manufactured at 3D printers, you must harvest ink to survive. Fight your way down a hand-crafted labyrinthine tower in this hardcore melee combat experience.

Escape

Choose between printing the best gear with your hard-won ink, or using it sparingly to get more chances. Can you escape from the tower or will you run out of ink?

Warning

Dead Ink is designed as a hardcore experience with uncompromising and punishing combat. The game features permadeath since it is possible to run out of ink.

Reviews

“The title uses a ton of Dark Souls-inspired mechanics but takes players to a very different world, defined by its verticality… Dead Ink is a game with strong mechanics and a cool unique idea.”
Softpedia

“The addictingly simple gameplay is complimented incredibly well by a unique idea and a phenomenal presentation.”

“That tower is the star of the show, really – a winding, labyrinthine structure that can be poked and prodded at from any direction. There’s something particularly special about games that commit to creating a single, super-dense location to slowly untangle.”
