Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Sep 9 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
INK INSIDE is a hand drawn adventure with the heart of an indie cartoon!
Play as Stick, an unfinished doodle trapped in a box of notebooks beneath a slowly leaking ceiling. As the water seeps into the notebooks, it warps the land around them and turns once friendly doodles into mindless, soggy monsters. Uncover lost memories and save your friends by battling back the waves of wetness corrupting the world
Reveal Stick’s Genetic Memory or Gene Meme - the memory each doodle shares with their creator, Hannah. Explore the worlds between the sketchbooks to unlock memories and meet a vibrant cast of characters who are fully voiced and animated. Featuring voices by Brian David Gilbert of YouTube & Dropout fame, and Deneen Melody from Evangelion and Netflix’s Romantic Killer.
Meet and recruit a colorful team of characters to help you on your journey. From the dependable Detective Fuzz to Traff, the Princess of Cursing who hits like a truck and talks like a truck driver. Unravel each character's story to fill in the blanks of your own history, delve into poignant live-action cut scenes, and discover the Genetic Memory that led to their creation.
Battle enemies in action-packed dodgeball-meets-beat-em-up style combat that will see you dodging patterns of projectiles and chaining combos to escape a mushy fate. Collect new gear, unlock stronger abilities and fill your COOL MOVES bar to BREAK THE RULES and deal extra damage by smashing through the invisible wall protecting your enemies.
Complete quests to uncover deep lore and explore sprawling, gorgeously illustrated worlds, from Fuzzball Forest to the Sugar Swamp. Visit shops to upgrade your gear, level up, and mix and match new mechanics that will aid you on your epic quest to save the Princess Land Notebook!

Impressively heartfelt, incredibly well-designed (ludonarrative harmony, wow!), and a great ride from start to finish. The kind of game that takes an hour or two to get interesting, but before you know it it's 3am and you just figured out how finishers work, so you unlocked the juggernaut job to rescue a fudge breathing dragon for the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ princess of cursing. I found it worth replaying (twice!), just to see how much love and nuance is squeezed into each dialogue and character, in everything from item interactions to the weird special moves. I don't write reviews, ever, but this game...... man. Don't sleep on it, thinking it's just another simple rpg. It really is something special. (10/10 would experience again!)
I like the game so far! The story line is cute and lighthearted with fun characters. Graphics are adorable and the mechanic is easy to understand. I know I still have a ways to go, but I'm having fun so far!

Just started playing this one, but it's awesome so far. Really beautiful looking game. Vibrant artwork and colors that really stand out. Character voices and sound are well done. The game play is fun and has a good, balanced level of difficulty, and is fast-paced and engaging. For an indie game like this, the quality is very high. It's impressive, the care that went into this one. Looking forward to finishing it.
the voice acting and story were phenomenal, and the combat was challenging but not impossible. I fell in love with all the characters (Especially stick) and I may have to write the first fanfic for this game.
Game starts out as an aim and shoot RPG, ends up being an insanely well written action brawler visual novel. It shifts focus in the most natural way possible.

I absolutely love this game, the dialogue between the characters and all their connections to one another really warm my heart. The story in of itself feels classic and Traff really hooks you @#$%! And and and I reaaalllly love the world building so much!! The "VICO-TORY?!?" and other stuff like that really send you there! In short: PLAY IT!!!
[h1]Ink Inside——手绘风格的展现,童话世界的冒险[/h1] 【Ink Inside】是由Blackfield Entertainment LLC制作的一款手绘卡通风格的冒险游戏,在这里我们将作为主角Stick,通过解谜来收集和恢复Stick的失去记忆,逐步了解其过去和创造者Hannah之间的故事,并揭开事件的来龙去脉。一场冒险之旅就此展开了。 开头用一段现实中的播片来开启整个故事章节,将画作的2D场景与现实的3D场景相结合,十分巧妙。我们将在不同的素描本之间穿梭移动,逐渐解开和探索各种环境。当然,最为一款冒险类型的游戏,在旅途中遇到形形色色的人是不得不品的一环,与他们相遇相知,完成各种各样的主线和支线任务,补充剧情,使世界观变得完整。 途中还将会遇到许多未知的危险,唯有战斗才是保护自己的最好手段,利用手中的武器来闯出一片新天地。后续还将解锁商店系统,我们可以在里面购买道具,更新自己的装备,并进行升级,还有新机制和能力来辅助我们进行旅途(即技能树),根据自己的喜好自由搭配即可。游玩方式主要以探索为主,本作是有Z轴的,有时候没路了可以多观察一下周围的场景,多蹦跶几下,找到路后颇有“山重水复疑无路,柳暗花明又一村”的感觉。血量不健康时,还可在篝火处进行休息回复(可回复的量与下方的蓝条有关),也算是补给神器。区域则分为自己和敌人两种,攻击方式像是丢沙包,通过瞄准来对敌人造成伤害,蓄力越久伤害越高,还将会出现瞄准线(遇到墙壁还会有弹球效果),未命中的话则会有一段时间的冷却,通关越快,射怪越准,评分也会越高,可敌人也不是傻子,不会站在原地当靶子,选择合适时机释放技能,并预读他们的行动轨迹方可轻松取胜。 本作的色彩、绘画方式与战斗模式确实较为新颖,故事情节和战斗演出效果安排的不错,综合来看值得入手体验,也希望后续能够加入中文。 [code]双语评测,认准我们: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35263058-Bilingual-Curator/]双语评测[/url] Make Chinese and English speaker feel at home: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35263058-Bilingual-Curator/]Bilingual Curator[/url][/code]
Wow, how had I never heard of this? NES Super Dodgeball meets Steven Universe meets RPG.
genuinely such a beautiful and well thought out story, with a fantastic gameplay experience!! usually i'm not a fan of cartoony action RPG's but after the learning curve this game adds so many little details to the mechanics that it makes eash fight new and fun!!! violent and funny I desperately need more games like this one!!
Okay, I’m only about an hour in, but I’ve seen enough. This game is an absolute gem. I usually wait until I’ve beaten a game to write a review, but Ink Inside hooked me immediately. If you grew up doodling in the margins of your math notebook instead of paying attention in class, this game was made for you. Here’s why you need to pick this up: The Aesthetic is Top-Tier: The "living notebook" art style is incredible. It captures that messy, creative, stick-figure vibe perfectly, but the animations are actually super fluid. It doesn't feel cheap, it's more like a playable cartoon. Combat is Surprisingly Deep: I expected a simple beat-'em-up, but the "dodgeball" mechanic with the Cores adds this really satisfying layer of strategy. You can't just mash buttons; you have to aim and time your shots. When you nail a perfect hit, it feels so good. The Humor: The writing is genuinely funny without trying too hard. The characters have so much personality right off the bat (Traff is already my favorite). The thing that really sold me wasn't just the visuals, but the sound design. There is this incredibly satisfying, squishy thwack sound every time you land a hit on the enemies. It sounds weird to say, but the audio feedback makes the combat feel "heavy" and impactful in a way most indie games miss. It makes clearing a room feel incredibly rewarding. Even with just an hour on the clock, I can tell this is going to be something special. It’s charming, it plays great, and it’s oozing with creativity (literally). Do yourself a favor and grab this!
