Dead Ink

Dead Ink is a very deliberate game where every move has to be planned with thought. However, the camera and a few design choices hold it back for me.

Dead Ink’s core gameplay is built on ideas inspired by the very popular Dark Souls but it is not part of the forgettable recent wave of titles that simply copy them. The vertical layout of the tower is a big twist with major consequences for exploration. Players need to move carefully and pay close attention to ladders and ledges that will lead to new places.
