Reviews

“The title uses a ton of Dark Souls-inspired mechanics but takes players to a very different world, defined by its verticality... Dead Ink is a game with strong mechanics and a cool unique idea.”


“The addictingly simple gameplay is complimented incredibly well by a unique idea and a phenomenal presentation.”


“That tower is the star of the show, really - a winding, labyrinthine structure that can be poked and prodded at from any direction. There's something particularly special about games that commit to creating a single, super-dense location to slowly untangle.”

About This Game



Explore the tower at your own pace using the new run button. Some adjustments to the tower design and the verticality mean running may improve your time, but not your chances.

Major patch of the combat systems. Faster fights, snappy rolls, unparryable attacks. Based on post-release feedback.

In the year 2207 the quantum state of your brain was encoded in a stream of photons and beamed into the cosmos. A pioneer of a glorious new age of light-speed travel, destined for fame and glory... at least that was the plan.

Fight

Plunged into a hostile world where every being is made of ink and manufactured at 3D printers, you must harvest ink to survive. Fight your way down a hand-crafted labyrinthine tower in this hardcore melee combat experience.

Escape

Choose between printing the best gear with your hard-won ink, or using it sparingly to get more chances. Can you escape from the tower or will you run out of ink?

Warning

Dead Ink is designed as a hardcore experience with uncompromising and punishing combat. The game features permadeath since it is possible to run out of ink.
