❤ Blending Cooperative Action with Strategic Twists

Players take on the role of "Scribes" who must dive into corrupted magical tomes and battle the Torn enemies. The core gameplay mechanic allows players to choose how their foes evolve, adding an additional layer of strategy to each run. This unique twist sets the experience apart from traditional roguelikes.

❤ Diverse Customizable Playstyles

Players can choose from four distinct "Ink" colors, each granting a unique signature ability and playstyle. The damage-focused Blot (Black), the summoning Inkling (Green), the burst-heavy Flourish (Yellow), and the sustain-oriented Tether (Red) offer a wide variety of build combinations. Players further augment their abilities by unlocking and equipping powerful Scribe Pages.

❤ Carefully Considered Progression

As players progress through the corrupted Tomes, they can choose upgrades for both their Scribe and the enemy forces. This "double-edged" progression system encourages careful decision-making, as the enemy upgrades selected will directly impact the challenges faced. This strategic depth adds a fresh layer to the typical roguelike formula.

❤ Cooperative Synergy

The game is designed for up to four players to work together. The mechanics emphasize synergy, allowing players to coordinate their individual abilities and upgrades to create powerful group-wide boons from the mystical Ink Font. This cooperative element enhances the game's replayability and fosters experimentation with different team compositions.

❤ Accessible Pacing

The relatively short run length, typically ranging from 10 to 30 minutes, makes the game highly accessible. Players can enjoy multiple runs in a single session without the commitment of longer roguelike experiences. The fast-paced action and quick progression keep the gameplay engaging and encourage repeated playthroughs.
