Why play it

Inkshade is a turn-based tactics game carved out of strange wooden miniatures, wrapped in a web of locked rooms, and orchestrated by an otherworldly game master. Victory is not guaranteed, and the only constant is the cruel black ink that flows within the pieces.

Story and worldbuilding

The creature behind the desk insists that you play their wooden board game. And in this game, you are a captain looking for the mysterious realm known only as the abyss. To reach such a place, you’ll need to conquer a continent, acquire an airship, and sail into cursed skies. Or rather, assemble a crew and have them do it for you. It will take more than one attempt to defeat the game master and achieve victory, and every run will be different from the last. However, with strategy, tactics, and tenacity, you will be destined to reach your goal.

Inkshade is not a grand canvas that breaks the mold, but it is a rather interesting chamber work that will definitely appeal to connoisseurs of atmospheric stories and moderately complex tactical challenges.

If you’re looking for a game with an unsettling but charming atmosphere, while hovering over wonderful wood crafted set pieces and constructing a crew from over 30 pieces to match your theme or playstyle, you’ll enjoy this game!
