I loved the art style and the narration, but wished that the puzzles were more interesting. ### 5/5 — I recommend worth downloading *2025-06-13, version 1.58* This game awesome and I can’t explain mind like everything from this app and good day ### 5/5 — Lovely Game! *2025-03-25, version 1.58* Get this game. You won’t regret it. There were only 2 puzzles that I have to get hints on. The rest were balanced. Such beauty! ### 4/5 — İndirimde alınabilir *2025-03-16, version 1.58* 2-3 saatlik süresi var. Değişik bir oyun. Şans verilir. iCloud desteği var. Kalan bölümleri iPad/mac/iPhone arasında karışık oynayarak bitirdim. ### 5/5 — Gorgeous *2025-01-10* What a gem of a game! Very sweet characters and nice story, I’m not sure about the hands appearing every so often it kinda took me out of the fantasy but that’s a personal preference, the puzzles were just the right level to challenge without frustration. The artwork beautifully done and really worth the small amount to buy. Thank you! I’m enjoying this immensely. ### 3/5 — Must improve *2025-01-09, version 1.58* Cool consept, nice puzzles but i cant find cycle button for gamepad, there is no indicator for buttons, there is only indicator for levers but wrong, it says works with A but works with B button. Touch screen controls and draggings kinda bit clunky. But overall its a good game with gamepad support. ### 4/5 — :-) *2024-12-31* Ja, das Thema war traurig und könnte Menschen triggern, die einen Verlust erlitten haben. Es hätte auch absolut nicht sein müssen, denn die Aufgaben, die es zu lösen gilt, die sind spannend und oft herausfordernd und ohne dieses - in meinen Augen nicht dazu passende - Thema wäre es ein klasse Spiel, das viel Spaß macht. Der, der über das Traurige hinwegsehen kann, dem kann ich es empfehlen. Ich selbst habe es mit Freude auf dem iPad gespielt und hatte dort keine Probleme mit der Steuerung. ### 5/5 — Jeu calme et apaisant *2024-09-29, version 1.58* Comme le dit le titre,ce jeu est fait pour jouer avec ses écouteur dans les oreilles évidement,pour se détendre ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-08-01, version 1.58* Bravo à l'équipe. Belle leçon de vie. ### 4/5 — Vistoso pero demasiado sencillo *2024-08-01, version 1.58* La estética es muy llamativa, pero los puzzles son demasiado fáciles, aunque también es cierto que tienen cierta variedad y hay bastantes mundos por pasar, además de una historia intrigante entre un creador y su obra. ### 5/5 — 楽しいです *2024-07-11, version 1.58* Android版をやったことがありましたがiPadで大きい画面でやりたかったためダウンロードしました。隅々まで描き込まれた各ステージはずっと眺めていたくなります。武士の究極の選択はちょっと悲しかったです。 あと、隠れた絵をさがすのたのしい ### 5/5 — . *2024-06-18, version 1.58* A touching story ### 5/5 — Wonderful short experience *2024-05-04* I adored this game, I managed to complete it in one sitting (Though I have yet to collect all the canvases, hoping to come back another time to admire the game again). The art style was pretty and the puzzles weren’t too difficult although I did struggle at some parts. The story wasn’t much but I enjoyed the interactions between characters and the general message of the ending. Totally worth the £4 to me! ### 3/5 — Klasse Grafik und Sound - Aber am Ende kein Spaß ... *2023-12-20* Das Spiel bietet eine ungewöhnliche und tolle Grafik und stimmigen Sound. Die Rätsel sind zum Teil knifflig, zum Teil banal. Leider ist die Story des Spiels einfach hur deprimierend und damit ist für mich eben auch der Spaß dahin - vielmehr zieht mich die Story runter. Weil das so ist, kann ich hier keine gute Bewertung abgeben - ein Spiel sollte Spaß machen und nicht depressive Stimmung verbreiten. ### 3/5 — Great game, too short, unfortunate story. *2023-07-30, version 1.58* The gameplay itself is great fun, and the art is amazingly good, but the story retracts from the game a great deal, has no trigger warnings, and several game mechanics are used and learned a single time before being permanently discarded. Being able to enjoy the puzzles, and more puzzles, would have been nice, especially if presented without a rather offputting story. ### 5/5 — Féerique, magique, émouvant 🥲 *2023-01-07, version 1.58* Avec sobriété, l’histoire se déroule de tableaux en tableaux, faciles, ou difficiles, logiques et déroutants ! La poésie est là, l’émotion aussi. Avec un bon casque, c’est encore plus prenant, l’immersion est rapide et le temps passe trop vite ! Une suite est elle possible ? Merci 🙏 ### 3/5 — Fun but frustrating *2022-12-27, version 1.58* Beautiful game but aspect ratio wasn’t correct on iPad. Couldn’t get all the paintings in chapter 9 because it was offscreen ### 5/5 — pure Entspannung… *2022-07-21* (Achtung Spoiler) Was für das Spiel spricht: • sehr ansprechende Ästhetik (Ich liebe das Design und die Animationen) • gute Spielmechanik • Rätsel sind schwer genug, unterhalten zu werden, aber nicht so schwer, das Frust aufkommen würde. dagegen: • die Story ist mit Pathos etwas aufgeladen/aufgesetzt, d. h. der Plot überzeugt mich nicht. Es wäre viel besser, wenn es ohne Voiceover und die Hände funktionieren würde… wäre auch internationaler und Kinder könnten das spielen, (ohne etwas verstört zu sein, dass die Überfigur die Partnerin aus moralischen fragwürdigen/narzisstischen Gründen killt). Ich hatte aber eine sehr schöne Zeit mit dem Spiel und konnte mich ungewöhnlich gut entspannen. Deswegen volle Punktzahl. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — A Solid One Star *2021-08-01, version 1.58* Crashed three times inside of the first three minutes. All you can actually do is tap on the screen and a gray dot appears. You can move around a little, but nothing actually happens. This is a complete waste of money. Not a game, a complete ripoff. ### 1/5 — Terrible end *2021-04-18, version 1.57* Nice game beautiful drawings. Only 1 star because weird story line with collections for paintings that are meaningless. disappointing end - artist character is one cruel. ### 1/5 — PAINFULLY SLOW AND BORING *2021-04-14* Waste of money. Avoid. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for trying the game. It's true that Inked isn't a fast pace game, it's more of an adventure on paper which we hope to bring you a relaxing and touching experience with a bit challenge. :) We're sorry if any of our store description had cause misunderstanding. ### 1/5 — Don’t be fooled by unique graphic *2021-03-09, version 1.57* Pros : Unique & Creative Graphics Cons : Short playtime Too easy puzzles Weird and boring story ### 1/5 — Boring and Slow *2021-03-02* There is no real engagement. The puzzles are too simple. The plot is basic. Waste of the £2.99. The narrator of the story just drones on and on. Ok if you want something to do other than watch your fingernails grow. Would not recommend. Save your money **Developer response:** Hi, first of all, thank you for supported our game during the pre-order stage. The pace of the game is relatively slow comparing to most of the popular mobile games, as it trying to tell a story in a less challenging and a more relaxing way. I'm sorry that the game didn't match your expectation, but hope it had still brought you a few good moments. :) ### 1/5 — 搞不懂 *2021-03-01, version 1.53* 第七章卡關，一個大冰牆到底要如何上去按開關，只給一個三角形沒辦法上去，完全沒有任何提示可以參考。 ### 1/5 — Refund please *2021-02-26* The first thing you see is a ridiculously long terms & conditions which you have to agree to to use the game. No thank you. **Developer response:** Hi, first of all, thank you for buying the game, and tried to play it. We didn't mean to spoil the whole experience with the terms and conditions, but it's required to be put there for all games... sorry for any inconvenience it might caused... and since the game doesn't require internet connection to play, hope that it could still bring you some fun during spare time. Wish you a nice day. :) ### 2/5 — Disappointing. *2025-04-11, version 1.58* The art is clever and the puzzles are (mostly) good but the story is unfortunate. I look up and see the tag line “Finding a lost love” and it’s not that at all. It’s “finding a live that the app dev deliberately moves when you find her because he wants you to be frustrated and angry like he feels (apparently) at his own IRL experience”. It’s sort of sad. ### 2/5 — Good but could be better *2021-03-12* Nice graphics and music. Puzzles are too easy though. Wish they were more challenging. The end “zen” type levels are awful and just “cliched” as many other games have done the same thing. Also I don’t like the “signed in” logo which appears when you first start the game which sounds like some sort of ‘spyware” logging in how many users there are. ### 2/5 — Terms and conditions - quite scary! Refund please. *2021-03-06* All I want to do is play a game. I don’t expect to have to agree to a set of terms and conditions. If I bought a deck of cards from a shop I wouldn’t expect to have to agree to a set of T&C’s and would most certainly NOT agree to potential data gathering/sharing. Have not played game and want a refund. Developer got back and explained that no actual data would be collected. A decent response, so will stick with the game and see how I make out. Might help if this information was more prominently displayed. **Developer response:** Hi, first of all, sorry if the terms and privacy policy at the beginning cause any uncomfortable experience, but we have to put it there according to the law of several territories. However, our game actually doesn't collect any data, it doesn't have a server and can be played without internet connection. :) Regardless, if you really feel uncomfortable about it, you should be able to proceed the refund with Apple through your Apple account. Wish you a nice day. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — 화면크기 문제로 9챕터에서 그림을 다 모을수없음 *2025-06-18, version 1.58* 그거만 빼면 잘 만든 게임임 ### 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. ### 5/5 — Très bon jeu *2025-06-15, version 1.58* Très bon jeu, c’est magique, calme et décontractant. ### 5/5 — 隱藏的小卡片很難找 *2025-06-15, version 1.58* 謎題都不難解，最難的是找小卡。搜集控找不到會焦慮。 第九章的4號卡，藏在最左上角根本看不到。iPad畫面範圍被切掉，不像電腦版那麼寬。在那邊一直跑來跑去按半天，總算摸到它。 Youtube上也有過關影片可以參考。 尾聲的結局很感人。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
