Ink Inside News

[p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]NEW S+ Mode[/h2][p]When creating a new save file, players will have the option for it to "Start S+" [/p][p]This makes it so this save is in "S+" mode where ANY hit will take down the player instantly. (You can still "help your teammate up" after they take a single hit though). So keeping BOTH players up and alive throughout combat becomes an INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT challenge the further into the game you go. [/p][p]SURVIVING COMBAT in S+ will TEST your knowledge of ALL the skills you learn in the game. As you'll need to use each Ability / JOB / Special TOGETHER with GOOD GEAR in order to complete this mode. [/p][p](It is NEARLY impossible to complete this mode unless you know how to receive buffs from your gear...so we added a NEW GUIDE on Steam for how to do just that! :D).[/p][p]If you DO finish S+, there's a contest in our Discord server to win IRL loot!!![/p][p](Completing S+ also unlocks the FINAL hint for the ARG outside the game!)[/p][p][/p][h2]NEW & IMPROVED JOBS[/h2][p][/p][p]JOBS have been tweaked and updated for better performance when used with other abilities. This includes a few that have been reworked entirely such as the KNIGHT JOB which now lets players DEFLECT BLOCKED PROJECTILES with their SHIELD! (This JOB is worth finding in the Sugar Swamp!)[/p][p][/p][p]Additionally, JOBS have been improved so they work together better in some fun new ways. For example, COMBINING the STRIDER JOB (do a 360 degree attack with your sword after teleporting) with the FENCER JOB (launch enemies on hit with your sword) can now let players do the following sword attack where a player can teleport to an enemy, interrupt their attack, deflect their projectiles, and launch them into the air for a follow-up:[/p][p][/p][p]Experiment to find the BEST combinations in S+ mode![/p][p][/p][h2]NEW LOOT & DROPS[/h2][p]NEW LOOT has been added to the first TWO areas of the game. This includes NEW distribution locations for EXISTING items as well. A HONEY HAM (Green Teleporting Agility Item) can now be obtained in the first area of the game including from the UPGRADE MACHINE in Fuzzville. This should allow for the PERKS of some RARE JOBS to be obtainable MUCH EARLIER than before![/p][p][/p][h2]UPDATED VO[/h2][p]The VO for MANY of the smaller characters has been updated to be of BETTER QUALITY. This was done by cleaning up the original voice work through another audio pass of effects and noise reduction, with MORE improvements planned for the future! [/p][p]For now, the VO for VAMPIRE PRINCESS, WEREWOLF PRINCESS, FUZZ KID, FUZZBALLS 1 & 2, and WESTERN FUZZ have all been updated to be MUCH CLEANER than before![/p][p][/p][h2]GUIDES[/h2][p]MANY Guides have been created and added to STEAM! Including one on ACCESSIBLITY features, and another on ACCESSING the SWITCHES in the SUGAR SWAMP. More guides will be added soon that cover Specials, Cores, and enemy weaknesses. The NEW guide covering how to use TECH and AGILITY items is very helpful to know for S+ mode![/p][p][/p][h2]BUG FIXES[/h2][p] [/p]

• [p]ADDED NEW ICONS to ALL SAVE files. (A PINK S appears near normal save files, a BLUE S for S+ saves, with a STAR appearing under the S for each save that reaches 100%!)[/p]
• [p]Controller detection issue when plugging in too early on Title screen.[/p]
• [p]SCALED UP ALL visuals on the QUEST LOG (it's 30% Bigger!).[/p]
• [p]SCALED UP TEXT in some areas like player stats to make them more visible.[/p]
• [p]QoL fixes for navigating menus (added new button shortcuts).[/p]
• [p]Swapped the location of the "MAP" and "ARTIFACTS" within a players inventory (making it easier to navigate to the MAP).[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue with the MAP loading just off center for some controllers (this can still happen occasionally, just move the joystick a bit to find the right teleporting location for now).[/p]
• [p]Enemy health not depleting in certain conditions has been fixed.[/p]
• [p]Enemy health has been rescaled in most areas for a better combat experience.[/p]
• [p]Certain items in the shop "like the Sniper Core" have been changed to have the correct purchase price.[/p]
• [p]Certain conversations have been fixed so the correct character is talking.[/p]
• [p]Some issues with finishers have been fixed (HOWEVER, you can still lose control of a player if you try to melee after completing a finisher in some circumstances) [/p]

[p][/p][p][/p]

[h3]Please visit the NEW GUIDE available on our Steam page for the FULL LIST of Accessibility Options and settings. [/h3][p][/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]Highlights include:[/p][p][/p]

• [p]The game's color space design, including the main characters, is optimized for a black-and-white color space (luminance contrast). This means all key visuals for the characters and game use colors that avoid conflicts for any form of color blindness. So to that end they do not have a colorblind option because the game's color design already accommodates players who may need it.
  [/p]
• [p]Additionally, all in-game items feature shape and color indicators in their top left corner so players can recognize them from a distance based on the equipment slot they fill. The slots themselves are designed with the same shapes, and appear at the top of the players inventory; - Circle (Red) for cores, Triangle (Yellow) for agility items, Square (Green) for tech items, Diamond (Purple) for special moves, and a Question Mark (White w/ Black BG) for quest items.
  [/p][p][/p]
• [p]We offer a "Custom Options" setting that lets you adjust nearly anything in the game including Player Health, Enemy Health, Enemy Speed, Enemy respawn, Core + Ability recharge rates, and more - all on a sliding scale that adjusts the ingame scaling rate of that option. So changing your health on this setting simply scales it up or down, still letting you level up, and obtain items that increase your total health above that scale. Nearly every part of the game is adjustable this way via the "Custom Options" setting.[/p]

[p][/p]

• [p]There is support for nearly any controller recognizable by Windows, including common console controllers like PS4/5, Xbox, and Switch. (With auto detection when you plug one in). The Xbox adaptive accessibility controller works very well. Use the "Controller Selection" button to select which player is using which remote.[/p]

• [p]Any controller can be locally adapted to have a different deadzone for directional input. (Adjusted through a "Deadzone" slider.)[/p]
• [p]Aiming can also be smoothed out through an "Aim smoothing" slider that adjusts the sensitivity of any directional input recieved.[/p]

[p][/p][p]INK INSIDE: S+ is a MAJOR FREE UPDATE to INK INSIDE that's coming March 27th to Steam! [/p][p]This update is FREE, and will be automatically downloaded to your library on March 27th if you own Ink Inside.[/p][p]INK INSIDE: S+ contains:[/p]

• [p]NEW JOB abilities[/p]
• [p]UPDATED Dungeons[/p]
• [p]BUG Fixes[/p]
• [p]AUDIO FIXES[/p]

[p]And a lot more including a BRAND NEW way to play the game called "S+ MODE"[/p][p]When starting a new save, Ink Inside: S+ will allow you to select a new "S+ mode game" for an experience that's more in line with how the original combat was designed (REALLY F@#&'n HARD). Specifically, we mean you now get downed after taking a single hit from the sog. [/p][p]In order to conquer S+ mode, you're going to have to DIVE into the combat mechanics deeper than ever before, and learn how to use all the items in new and creative ways. The entire game becomes a tutorial for understanding S+ mode, so we encourage you to beat the game with a normal save FIRST before trying S+![/p][p]While Ink Inside is a tribute to Cartoon Network's greatest shows of the past, S+ "F@#k’n Hard" mode is a tribute to the rage-quit video games of that same era. This mode WILL make you sound like Traff. (And that's lovely).[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]ALONG with S+ mode we ALSO have a HUGE ARG lore contest to FINALLY unlock the password protected website you can discover by playing the game! [/p][p][/p][p]MORE DETAILS about the contest will be announced the week of March 9th.[/p][p]FULL Details about the S+ update will be provided at launch.[/p][p]TUTORIALS ARE COMING SOON :D[/p][p][/p][p]And make sure to JOIN OUR DISCORD where we have a channel dedicated to solving the website password! ;) [/p]

The world knows the Divine Comedy as a masterpiece of literature. For your family, it is a living prison. Today, we invite you to step into the shoes of Gabriele Alighieri and confront a legacy that returns every thirty-three years. The barrier between our world and Hell is fading, and the only way to protect your bloodline is to return to the place you tried to forget.

The Alighieri Circle: Dante’s Bloodline is a first person psychological thriller that reimagines Dante’s work through a modern lens. This is not an action game. It is a narrative driven experience where tension is built through atmosphere, exploration, and the heavy weight of the unspoken. You will navigate two converging realities: the Villa, a silent place heavy with denial, and the Dive, a distorted reflection of a fragmented mind.

There is no combat and no traditional power fantasy. Instead, the journey focuses on observation and interpretation. Sound and space guide you through a slow burning descent where identity and guilt intertwine. We are excited to announce that the official demo is available now on Steam, and soon accross all platforms!

Experience the first chapter of this ancestral ritual and see if you have the courage to endure what has been passed down through generations. Visit our store page to play the demo and add The Alighieri Circle: Dante’s Bloodline to your wishlist. Your descent begins now.
