What makes inked: A Tale of Love so special?
In Inked, we take over the role of a nameless hero who is looking for his lost love, the beautiful painter Aiko. Armed with a magical brush, he turns his adventurous journey through a world-drawn world full of puzzles, imposing architecture and fantastic creatures. It is this mixture of the original graphic and a touching story that lets inked.
While we puzzle through the world, we dive deeper and deeper into an adventure that leaves the boundaries between fiction and reality increasingly blurring. For the path of the nameless hero is accompanied by a mysterious voice, behind which the artist hides, which created the Kuli world. In his drawings he has processed his memories, on whose paths we hike in Inked. The profound history is accompanied by loss and love of a dreamy soundtrack.

With the magical brush we draw geometric shapes and manipulate the world to solve the puzzles and to find our lost love.
Developer Studio assessment

Since the reviews on Steam to the first version already mostly positive, I expect the new edition with a round gaming experience. The special graphics also jumped into my eye immediately and awakens me to explore the hand-drawn world. That the sketch style is part of the story and the gameplay, I find all the more exciting.
The soundtrack also captured me immediately and lets me hope for a few relaxed playing hours: comfortably with the controller (or the switch) in the hand on the couch lumps and get a nice story next to the puzzles and tossboards. What do you need more, in the nearby autumn and winter season? Love stories often do not own so much deep, as promised and are actually not my thing. I like to let me know better.
