Shades of Ink

You weren't supposed to see them, the weathered cards with starnge inkblots. You didn't know the ink would curl and writhe as you looked at them. You tell yourself it's a nightmare, but the Shades you see are real... and they can see you too.

An interesting premise as a solo RPG told with only a few cards. When playing, you’ll get the chance to define the particular Shade you are encountering. This happens by a unique pair of prompts as well as an image, and it is up to you how to interpret these, as well as how to play out the encounter. Let your imagination run wild, telling of adventures that bring the storylines to life. Or just think of things in a practical way, coming up with a solution that is grounded in sensibility. The choice is yours, and only you can determine the right or wrong way to go about this unique encounter.

Shades of Ink is a solo role playing game where you will look at inkblots, note what you see, and then fight to destroy the shades that manifest from your visions. As you accumulate knowledge, the spirits' power also accumulates until it coalesces to form one final encounter.

Will you be able to overcome the Shades to escape the nightmare?
