Ink Inside: First Page is the fun prologue to the hand drawn action RPG with the heart of a Saturday Morning Cartoon! Created by some of the minds behind Steven Universe: Unleash the Light, Ink Inside lets you play as Stick, an unfinished doodle trapped in a box of notebooks beneath a slowly leaking ceiling. As the water seeps into the notebooks, it warps the drawings inside and turns once friendly doodles into mindless, soggy monsters.
You can fight back against the invading “Sog” by hitting them in the face with dodgeball “CORES!” Hold and aim your attack before letting go at just the right time to trigger unique weapon “perks” - then get in close and knock the wet out of them with a melee combo. Use more unique cores and combo attacks in action-packed dodgeball-meets-beat-em-up style combat that will see you dodging patterns of projectiles, using specials, and mastering a unique form of action RPG combat!
Get even more buff by collecting new gear, unlocking stronger abilities, and filling your COOL MOVES bar to BREAK THE RULES and deal extra damage by smashing through the invisible wall protecting your enemies.
Explore sprawling, gorgeously illustrated worlds, from the Fuzzball Forest to the Cloud Factory to meet and recruit a colorful team of characters to help you on your journey. From the dependable Detective Fuzz to Traff, the Princess of Cursing, who hits like a truck and talks like a truck driver, there’s plenty of characters to meet and loot to discover!
Work together with a friend in local CO-OP to save your allies and battle back the waves of wetness corrupting the world!
Experience the first few hours of INK INSIDE in this standalone instalment for FREE! And once your journey is going, you can easily transfer your save to the full game to finish your quest!
Bear in mind that you'll need a controller in order to play in local multiplayer!
