Realm Of Ink, A Chinese-Styled Fantasy

You will take the shoes of the swordswoman named Red, who is on a mission to hunt down the Fox Demon. However, while on her journey, she unexpectedly finds out that her entire life is dictated by destiny as it is written in the book of her world’s history—she is a character in a short story collection, aptly named the Realm of Ink. Upon realizing this, she gives herself a new mission instead—to break free of destiny’s clutches, unveil the truth of her entire existence, and challenge fate itself.

The game is created by a Chinese team and is heavily influenced by their culture. From the Chinese ink painting art style to the cast full of characters with distinctive Chinese characteristics, Realm of Ink will take you into a gorgeous world full of these wonderful influences. It also takes inspiration from games such as Grim Dawn (which the developers have shared is a game that they like very much) and Skul: The Hero Slayer.

Realm of Ink is available to be wishlisted on their Steam page in order to be notified when the game comes out! A demo is also accessible should you wish to try out the game beforehand. More details about the console versions for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox will be announced at a later date.
