About this game

Inkborne is a turn-based grid crawler where every step is one move and the world reacts in time with you. Guide a young octopus through four chapters of a reef: gather lanterns, vent crushing pressure at pearls, slip past an eel that moves only when you move, and spend ink to blind hunters as you climb toward the surface. A quiet, atmospheric maze about thinking before each crawl.
