The release you’ve been waiting for is here! Baffling with a medieval-inspired art style, Inkulinati is now available on GOG – with a -10% launch discount (the offer ends on February 7, 5 PM UTC). That’s not all though; you can also get the Supporter Pack, containing an artbook, soundtrack, wallpaper, and even more!

Inkulinati a turn-based strategy game with a proper dose of comedy; straight from medieval manuscripts. As a player, you’ll take your turn in duels filled with unexpected tactical depth and a solid amount of humor. You’ll embark on an ever-changing journey, build your own bestiary, defeat medieval superstars and collect perks to unleash special powers. It’ll be your goal, to become a master of the Living Ink, grab your quill and build a unique strategy, so that you can be named the greatest Inkulinati of all time!

The game’s medieval-inspired art style will surely capture your attention right away – after 700 years, those bizarre art pieces came alive in a form of video game, to show that medieval people were just like we are nowadays; they laughed from the same silly things we do, from sword-wielding rabbits, dogs with spears, and much, much more. All that, and even further content, you can enjoy in a special Supporter Pack!

We’ve also prepared something extra, to give this funky title the well-deserved spotlight – better get ready, because you’ll be able to watch the gameplay during the release stream on our GOG twitch channel! The stream is going to take place on Thursday, February 2, 8PM UTC.

Get to inking, now on GOG!

lupineshadow: Thank you very much! Not sure where that came from but very much appreciated.

Means I can buy the supporter pack which I wouldn't buy usually.
Great to hear of your support :-) I ran for a Kickstarter tier of several copies to support Devs. One goes to a random person (a good way to promote/support the game after the KS campaign).
// I must declare I have no relation to Devs/Publisher.

Thank you for the generosity.

I am a fan of Hildegaard Von Blingen's bardcore videos on YouTube which is how I became aware of this. I was planning to buy it, but, as I said. Thank you.
Hey hey everyone, wanted to ask what is your experience in the "Journey" mode (campaign)?

I;m a bit surprised, it seem to be quite tough (more tough than I expected, playing on medium). I'm not sure that I like that boredom mechanism, seem too strict for me, especially at the beginning, when we start with 3 types of beasts and very slowly getting new types.

Of course I do appreciate a variety in this mode, this part is great, but the boredom mechanism and quite surprising difficulty level IMO are some weak spots.

No complaints about skirmishes though, they're fun to play. So far I played with AI, but I'm eager to play with my siblings in hot-seat.

The real test for your strategic skills

Summoning all strategic masterminds out there! Inkulinati might seem like a light-hearted and whimsical game on the surface, but underneath are strategically complex battles where finding the right strategy will lead you to victory. At its’ core, Inkulinati is a turn-based game inspired by real-life doodles on medieval manuscripts that we all have seen somewhere on the internet. Polish developer Yaza Games saw these marginalia pieces and decided to give us the power to bring them to life using a magical substance called the Living Ink.

There are more than 50 units with special abilities to discover, like bishop cats, sword-wielding rabbits, bard donkeys, or ... whatever that thing on the right is ...

But they are only as mighty as the hand that wields the Quill! Use your units wisely in the numerous diverse challenges you encounter during your path to becoming a Master of the Living Ink. These challenges may require you to beat all opponents on the battlefield, push the enemies' leader off the manuscript page, or even survive apocalyptic events like traveling Hell's Maws. You will encounter these challenges during Journey Mode, a single-player-focused experience of exciting puzzle-like missions and grand battles with small, handcrafted story events sprinkled in between.

Once you have mastered the Living Ink and seek new challenges, you can head over to Duel Mode where you can duke it out with your friends in couch co-op battles (it also works really well with Steam Remote Play!). Duel Mode lets you create battle scenarios tailored to your needs. Train for specific scenarios or just let off steam after a long day, the choice is yours.

700 Years in the Making

The development of Inkulinati began 700 years ago when bored monks started scribbling silly creatures from tales and everyday life on the margins of manuscript pages, an old form of art that went almost extinct with the invention of industrial book printing (damn you, Gutenberg!) Luckily, Yaza Games picked up where medieval folks left and brought this ancient art to the modern world! Behold! Below, the inspiration for the Donkey Bard. Despite having no fingers, he inspires and delights.
