Inkbound (v1.0.0)

Inkbound is a turn-based roguelike set in the enchanting world of the Atheneum, a magical library that holds every story ever written. Players embark on a quest to save these unraveling tales by venturing into diverse book-worlds, each filled with unique challenges and threats. The game’s narrative centers on preserving the magic of the written word, immersing players in a richly imagined setting where stories come alive and must be protected from an unseen danger. The gameplay reinvents traditional turn-based combat with a system that allows free movement and simultaneous actions in multiplayer, creating a dynamic and flexible experience. Players can adjust the pace to suit the moment, speeding through simpler encounters or slowing down to carefully plan their next move when the stakes are high. Progression involves unlocking new character classes and experimenting with draftable abilities, upgrades, and a vast array of items, encouraging players to develop varied and powerful builds. Inkbound also supports cooperative play for up to four players, who can meet in the Atheneum hub to team up, strategize, and tackle challenges together, blending social interaction with tactical depth.
