Drown in Ink

They called you corrupted, and the whole world believed them...

When nothing remains but a blank notebook and ink, you plunge into a paper dimension of your own memories and trauma. In this world, every line you draw becomes your only weapon in a mental struggle for survival.

Fight through hostile creatures, collect ink, open locked paths, and follow fragments of a broken inner monologue as the notebook turns into the only place where you still feel alive...

This is a 2D game about isolation and self-doubt. With ink acting as your only tether to survival, every line you draw must be deliberate.

How We Used the Theme: “Corrupted”

This theme runs deep through both the narrative and the gameplay. The main character is called "corrupted", he's losing his grip, fighting his own mind. He is tormented by various types of voices and thoughts. To survive, it must fight this inner decay using ink.

The chaotic lines you draw alongside the main character are both a symptom of your broken psyche and your only tool for survival. But beware: every stroke costs ink. Even failed drawings carry a price, proving that every attempt to escape or heal demands sacrifice.
