The story of Inked revolves around a hand-drawn samurai called ‘The Nameless Hero’ and the love of his life, Aiko, as they try to work out why the local birds are falling ill. As a mysterious narrator leads you around a paper world, you soon realise, everything is not as it seems.
There are nine chapters to complete in total, each packed with puzzles that see you move around bridges and ramps, drop spheres into holes, climb atop rising pillars, and much more. The puzzles get progressively more challenging, and the paper world around them changes to reflect the story.
I was unsure what to expect heading into Inked, but the first thing I noticed when I began was how incredibly relaxing the soundtrack is. As you progress through the story and have increasingly difficult puzzles to complete, the orchestral score helps keep you grounded and makes it harder to feel frustrated when you can’t work out how to proceed.
