The Inkwell
Demo available
About the game
Monitor. Identify. Purge. Watch haunted cartoon feeds, identify entities by the anomalies they leave behind, and perform precise exorcisms. Keep the corruption contained, or the broadcast will claim you next.
Original Steam description
The Inkwell is a fast-paced observation horror game where finding the anomaly is only the beginning.
As a priest sent by the Vatican, your task is to inspect Inkwell Studios, monitor vintage cartoon feeds, spot hostile entities bleeding into the signal, and purge them before the broadcast goes permanently dead and the corruption leaks through the screen.
WATCH THE CORRUPTION SPREAD
Innocent cartoon scenes twist under demonic influence. Tiny, easily missed anomalies rapidly escalate into violent paranormal threats that consume the entire feed.
PATTERN RECOGNITION
Every entity has distinct traits. Consult your guidebook, identify the threat, and perform the exact sequence of holy rituals to force it out before all hell breaks loose. But beware: every mistake accelerates the corruption.
HIGH-STAKES OBSERVATION
No time to waste! Fail to repel an entity in time, and that feed is lost for the rest of the broadcast.
RETRO ANIMATION MEETS OCCULTISM
Immerse yourself in a claustrophobic analogue horror experience that blends vintage rubber-hose animation with sacred relics and dark corporate lore.
