Inked: A Tale of Love
Release Date: April 26, 2018
A platform/logic game developed by Somnium Games. The player assumes control of a nameless ronin who embarks on a quest to find Aiko, his missing love interest. The title sports characteristic graphics that are reminiscent of ink-on-paper drawings.
Inked is a platform game developed by Somnium Games, and released by Starbreeze, a studio known from numerous titles, including Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons or Syndicate.
The player assumes control of a ronin drawn by Adam – a comic book author. One day, the author decides to move Aiko, the love of his life, away from him, forcing the ronin to embark on a rescue mission. It quickly turns out that the story is much deeper than it seems.
In Inked, the player is tasked with progressing through levels drawn by Adam which contain puzzles of varying difficulty levels. Some of them require using a switch that will extend a bridge. In other cases, one may need to use the power hidden in the hero’s sword to move objects such as drawbridges or boxes in order to unlock passageways that lead us forward.
Inked has been in development for over two years. During that time, the developers managed to create varied puzzles as well as unique graphics based on geometrical shapes that are similar to drawings drawn using a pen. Moreover, each map has one dominating color, such as white, green, or red. The end result makes the game unique and extraordinary.

Game Ratings for Inked Video Game.
PSX Extreme: 7.5 / 10 by B McCarthy
While it can be a downgrade and mimicry of the original 2018 release, Inked: A Tale of Love is a pleasant experience due to its superb artistry and laid-back puzzling. It may only be a few hours long, but it does not outstay its welcome, letting you finish mostly satisfied.
GameGrin: 7 / 10 by Brienne Rose
Its clever premise, powerful narrative (flawed though it may seem at times), and enjoyable mechanics - Inked's flaws come across as mostly minor nitpicks.
Destructoid: 5.5 / 10 by Peter Glagowski
There is a lot of potential here for a great idea and certain moments are truly awesome, but the whole experience just doesn't hold up and ends on a low point. If you have a stronger stomach for finicky controls, though, Inked might just be the game for you.
