Inked
Finding the lost love
The unnamed hero of the puzzle adventure Inked may be ready for retirement, but his work isn’t done. Can you help him protect the realm one last time?
How it plays: Investigate a lushly illustrated world—and an evil threatening its residents—by solving curious conundrums dotting the landscape. Pathway blocked? Shift geometric shapes to form bridges and walkways so the warrior and his love, Aiko, can continue their journey.
Why we love it: It’s gorgeous! Sketched with a ballpoint pen, the hand-drawn world feels as rich and alive as the bird friends you’re helping. There’s also an intriguing metastory about the artist who drew this amazing place—and who seems to have some secrets up his sleeve.
Don’t miss: You can fight some puzzles with fire! Combine nearby objects (like tumbleweeds and a campfire) to burn through flammable obstacles.
Meet the creator: Inked comes from Croatia-based indie developer Somnium Games.
