Ink & Lore

Cards That Vanish When Used

Every card is consumable: play it once and it is gone forever. You don't "build" a deck. You decide when and where to spend a finite supply of cards. Every move carries weight, the way scrolls and wands do in a classic roguelike.

Into a Picture Book Someone Stopped Drawing

You are inside a picture book someone stopped drawing. The ink has dried, the story has stopped mid-page, and the people in it are slowly being forgotten. Two guardians of living stationery travel 99 pages to win the lost tale back.

Two Guardians

Choose two of the four guardians to form a party of two, each with their own HP, level, and equipment. A fallen ally can only be brought back with a revival item. Save it, or use it now? As the bond between the pair deepens, new paths open in both story and battle.

Growth & Equipment

Defeat enemies to level up. Equip a sword (attack), a shield (defense), and a bookmark (special effects), then upgrade and engrave them at the smithy. Cards, gear, and your gold all have to work together if you want to reach the depths.

99 Floors, and What Waits at the Bottom

99 floors unlock in stages, with 10 bosses standing in your way. And on the deepest page, something is waiting for the two of you. You'll only find out what it is at journey's end.

A World of Ink and Watercolor

Pencil lines, bleeding ink, and washes of watercolor: a storybook world that changes its colors page by page, and mirrors the sorrow of a tale fading away.
