Why, hello there!

Are you new to Inkbound? Did you play during our technical test and can't wait to see more? Then join our community manager, Cami, for her weekly Wednesday stream TOMORROW, January 25th, at 4:00 PM PT.

The Wednesday streams are a [i[little different because backseat gaming is highly encouraged AND the playtesters are invited to voice their thoughts and game strategies.

Tune in January 25th, at 4:00 PM PT here: https://www.twitch.tv/playinkbound

Hope to see you in the chat!

That's it! Inkbound's technical test has officially been closed as of 10:00 AM PT.

Thank you so much to everyone who participated and we hope you had fun! On our part, we cannot wait to dig into your feedback and make Inkbound even better!

A lot of you have asked when you can play Inkbound again. Well, that's the thing. We're participating in Next Fest during which you can check out our demo! We'll talk about the changes you can expect during our Friday stream this week on January 27th at 12:00 PM PT.

Follow us on Twitch and be the first to know what changes are coming to Inkbound here ➡️https://www.twitch.tv/playinkbound

Shiny Shoe, the developer of Monster Train—our pick as the best card game of 2020, by the way—announced last year that it's working on a new tactical roguelike RPG called Inkbound. It's set to come out later this year, and this weekend you can get a look at what it's all about in a playtest that's open to everyone...

Hello, hello!

Have you yearned to play Inkbound? Have you dreamt of exploring the Silent Promenade or buy a new upgrade from the Carver? Well, this is your chance!

TOMORROW, Friday, January 20, 2023 now at **6:00 AM** until Monday, January 23, 2023 10:00 AM, we’ll be running our technical test! This is a stress test to ensure our servers can handle a surge of new players.

For you? It means that you get to PLAY INKBOUND!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

That’s right, for three days Inkbound will be free and available to play!

‘But, Cami,’ you might ask. ‘Isn't Inkbound is slated to release later in 2023? How can I play it on January 20th?’

I’m glad you asked! See that button in the store page that says ‘Request Access?’ All you have to do is click on it! ‘Inkbound Technical Test’ will then appear in your library and you’ll be able to play like any other game on the 20th.

I cannot wait to play Inkbound with you. Come say hi to me, the devs, and the playtesters in the Inkbound chat on January 20th at 6:00 AM PT!

See you in the Atheneum!
~Cami

Tomorrow Inkbound will be available FOR FREE until January 23rd at 10:00 AM PT! To celebrate, we're hosting a mini Inkbound marathon. THREE NEW MEMBERS of the Shiny Shoe team will join Community Manager Cami for Inkbound fun!

Tune in January 20th, from 12:00-4:00 PM PT here! https://www.twitch.tv/playinkbound
