INK MAZE
Chart your own path through a fog-shrouded dungeon in INK MAZE! Design cryptic treasure maps to solve puzzles, outsmart traps, and collect loot hidden within the mist. But when you reach the depths of the maze, will you still be able to decipher the symbols you charted long ago?
INK MAZE is a short, turn-based metroidvania with a strong focus on unique puzzles about exploring and charting treasure maps.

Use your creativity to solve unique communication problems with your future self. It might be a while before you explore that room you've just charted.
Observe the maze in a non-linear fashion. You might chart a room that gives you a sneak peek at areas and loot you've yet to discover.

Experience how each character uses the charting mechanic in their own silly way.
WHAT IS IT NOT?
There is no combat. This game is about outsmarting danger instead of facing it head-on using weapons.
It's not a long game. This game is a short but dense, puzzle-focused metroidvania about the unique prospect of map-making.
WHO IS THAT?
That is Oolix. Say hi, Oolix!
