Indie publisher 663 Games revealed that action roguelite title Realm of Ink is coming to Consoles and PC via Steam in 2024. Developed by Leap Studio and Maple Leaf Studio, the game will be the publisher's first global game launch following the success of their previous Asia-specific published titles.
Realm of Ink is an Ink-style action rogue-lite game beautifully brought to life with a distinctive mix of 2.5D Chinese-style ink painting and modern art direction, along with a rich combat system using multiple playable characters. Its deep and intriguing story discusses the philosophical significance of life as well as the beliefs of nihilism and existentialism.
During the hunt for a cunning Fox demon, the heroine and expert swordsperson Red, discovers that she is a fictional character within the short story collection called Realm of Ink. Only by unlocking the dark secrets of the Book Spirit will Red discover the truth of her existence and defy her fate.
The story unfolds in a virtual realm called "Realm of Ink," where inhabitants unknowingly exist as mere fabrications within a fictional world. Controlled by the mysterious Book Spirit, they obediently follow predetermined fates, oblivious to their cyclical lives.
