I had pre-ordered this game back in January based solely on its preview imagery, and, despite its release being briefly delayed, so far, it has been entirely worth the wait. I have completed only a small portion of the game, but already I am utterly in awe of its simple yet stunning artwork, its delicate yet immersive storytelling, and its delightfully calming soundtrack. Although I have only played for less than one day and have completed only a chapter or two, I do not feel my praise is premature nor undeserved. I am not one to rate apps, let alone write a full review, yet I felt I must encourage others wholeheartedly to purchase this engaging and challenging - without being inaccessible or overly complicated - narrative puzzle game. My advice - take your time with this game, and thoroughly enjoy the detail that the artists have penned into this blue-ink world. Let yourself fall into this game that requires thoughtful execution but encourages quiet, meditative relaxation. I would suggest this game for any age, young or not-so-young (such as myself), as it produces instantly enjoyable and exceedingly mesmerizing gameplay. I am justifiably eager and excited to play through the rest of this game to explore and discover all that this charming world has to offer, and I could not recommend this game highly enough to anyone and everyone. Creators, thank you.

I just finished playing and without spoiling it for anyone else, the ending made me cry a little. The artwork is simple but breathtaking, and very original. The story immediately grabs you, pulls at your heartstrings, and doesn’t let go even once the game is completed. The puzzles were just challenging enough to make you think but not drive you to madness. Well done team. Well done. Also, I want to address any negative reviews. Giving this amazing game and the developers ONE STAR just because you got a little frustrated isn’t cool at all!!! This game was not difficult to figure out, the tutorial is thorough, and it’s easy to find the main menu. I actually really appreciate the inconspicuous menu (tiny dot in the upper right hand corner), anything more than that would take away from the artwork. At the risk of being a *little* mean, you have to have an IQ above 3 to figure it out lol. If you seriously get angry and purposely hurt the rating because *you* couldn’t figure it out, it’s not the game for you. The game isn’t the problem lol.

it just hit me that i had never left a review on this game. i first played this game many years ago— i had just started working and that new income meant i felt i now had ( my own ) money to spend. i remember the day i finally purchased this game , after spending days debating whether i should or not. playing this game you can just feel the time and dedication the developers put into this project. everything from the art to the music feels so carefully thought out and adjusted over and over again to achieve the perfect gaming experience. the day i finished the last chapter i cried— despiste already suspecting how this game would conclude. i can’t force anyone to download this game , nor can i alone be the voice of all those looking for a pleasurable mobile gameplay experience— but i can say that i have never once regretted downloading this game. from tween me to the me now , this game has always held a place in my heart. p.s. ty developers. i’ll always keep my hopes up for another game from you. in the meantime i’ll keep searching the app store for a game that makes me feel the way inked had :)
