Game Talk Network: ink

Have you ever wondered what happens to your characters that have died while playing your favorite TTRPGs? The team at Snowbright Studio did and have created a game to help you explore those unfinished tales. They turn the entire premise of TTRPGs on its head as your characters make their way through a realm of dark waters dotted with islands as they attempt to escape the Ink.

WATERS, GHOSTS, AND CAFES

While living characters typically have their physical form and the spirit that inhabits that body, a dead character no longer has a “physical body” and instead is the Spirit itself acting as the character’s body. Accompanying each character is their “Shadow,” a manifestation of their unbridled emotions from their life. While the two halves of your character travel the Ink together, it is possible that your character’s Shadow has entirely different desires from the spirit.

The Ink is like a giant bowl of dark waters to which the recently deceased awakens. Above this realm of pitch-black seas and sprinkled islands the skies reach up to the Firmament- a clockwork sky fortress that bars the denizens of the Ink from ever reaching up to the heavens. Thus your character’s efforts to try and find a means of escape from the Ink via small tears known as Passage Beacons. These extremely rare escape routes are always jealously guarded by the creatures of the Ink.

Some are the Spirits and Shadows that were unable to escape the Ink and have lost themselves while others are creatures born of the dreadful darkness and waters of the Ink. The deadliest creatures, Greater Fiends, are terrifying forces that feed upon the very soul of Spirits in the Ink. Fiends guard Passage Beacons in their envy of the Spirits that still have a chance to escape, their power makes them a challenge and attacking their secret weakness is the only way to overcome them.
