### 5/5 — Belle réalisation

*2025-09-29, version 1.58*

Superbe DA. Quelques soucis de maniabilité mais c’est beau, poétique et émouvant.

### 5/5 — 治癒系

*2025-07-20, version 1.58*

幾特別嘅遊戲，但缺乏題示，唔係幾明個玩法😅

### 5/5 — astonished

*2025-07-02*

it just hit me that i had never left a review on this game. i first played this game many years ago— i had just started working and that new income meant i felt i now had ( my own ) money to spend. i remember the day i finally purchased this game , after spending days debating whether i should or not. playing this game you can just feel the time and dedication the developers put into this project. everything from the art to the music feels so carefully thought out and adjusted over and over again to achieve the perfect gaming experience. the day i finished the last chapter i cried— despiste already suspecting how this game would conclude. i can’t force anyone to download this game , nor can i alone be the voice of all those looking for a pleasurable mobile gameplay experience— but i can say that i have never once regretted downloading this game. from tween me to the me now , this game has always held a place in my heart.

p.s. ty developers. i’ll always keep my hopes up for another game from you. in the meantime i’ll keep searching the app store for a game that makes me feel the way inked had :)

### 5/5 — Lovely!!

*2025-06-30*

Beautiful! A game that faces the hard issue of loss and mourning instead of trying to get you to ignore it! A game for the heart! Thanks for making it!

### 5/5 — WOW - Awesome game!

*2025-06-29*

So unique and different from so many games out there, thank you!  Geometry, spacial puzzles, and very “Escher-esk” at times.  Great to have a story teller too.  Totally enjoyed it, even brought a tear to my eyes at the end.  Wonderfully creative.

### 5/5 — Certainly one of the best games I have ever played

*2025-06-24*

I am a very casual gamer and often quickly lose interest if it gets boring or too hard.
Inked is one of the few games I finished and it was great until the end. Some parts were tricky but I managed to finish everything without hints.
Now I have to start again to find all those cards I missed the first time.

### 4/5 — 點到會怒⋯

*2025-06-23, version 1.58*

解謎不難，操作很難，常會點不到，玩到後面才發現要收集小卡⋯

### 5/5 — 화면크기 문제로 9챕터에서 그림을 다 모을수없음

*2025-06-18, version 1.58*

그거만 빼면 잘 만든 게임임

### 4/5 — The art was great

*2025-06-17, version 1.58*

The graphics were impressive. I loved the art style and the narration, but wished that the puzzles were more interesting.

### 5/5 — Beautiful and touching.

*2025-06-15*

Kudos to everyone involved in making this game. This was a lovely casual puzzler, with a lot of heart. I finished it within two days, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
