About

Inkbound is a turn-based roguelike set in a world where the dangerous magic of the written word comes to life.

REINVENTING TURN-BASED GAMEPLAY Within the unique turn-based combat system players move freely, act simultaneously in multiplayer, and can rapidly use abilities. Go fast when the decisions are easy, go slow when the threat amps up and you need to strategize more deeply. DIVERSE BUILDS AND CLASSES Explore a varied set of character classes while adapting your strategy during runs to craft powerful builds. With draftable abilities, ability upgrades, and hundreds of items to find there are many possible ways to play. 4 PLAYER CO-OP The Atheneum acts as a social hub where players can meet with friends and strangers to party up into groups of up to four. Take on challenges as a team and strategize together to determine the most synergistic builds. SAVE THE STORIES The magical Atheneum contains all stories ever written. Each book becomes a portal to another world where you will face unique threats. Inkbound’s stories are unraveling due to an unseen threat and the inhabitants of the Atheneum need your help.
