DEAD
INK.
Your body is printed.
Your ink is running out.
01 / The game
A new life.
A long way down.
In the year 2207 the quantum state of your brain was encoded in a stream of photons and beamed into the cosmos. A pioneer of a glorious new age of light-speed travel, destined for fame and glory… at least that was the plan.
Plunged into a hostile world where every being is made of ink and manufactured at 3D printers, you must harvest ink to survive. Fight your way down a hand-crafted labyrinthine tower in this hardcore melee combat experience.
Choose between printing the best gear with your hard-won ink, or using it sparingly to get more chances. Can you escape from the tower or will you run out of ink?
02 / See it in motion
Welcome to the tower.
03 / Every drop counts
Ink is everything.
Dead Ink is designed as a hardcore experience with uncompromising and punishing combat. Running out of ink will result in a game over and starting from scratch.
Dead Ink is a solo souls-like experience that takes place in a hand-crafted tower. No procedural generation, every room, item and enemy placement is made deliberately.
Start your run by choosing a loadout and sending it as a print job to a destination printer. Each printer has a limited amount of ink which can be restocked by harvesting it from fallen enemies. Printers and blueprints for additional gear are hidden throughout the tower waiting to be discovered.
