"Ink Inside - First Page" is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "Ink Inside". Ink Inside is a mediocre and arguably failed attempt to make a 2.5D cartoony RPG with a convoluted yet also utterly uninteresting plot about a failed cartoon, a character "inked" into existence... ugh. It's like you take the plot for Bendy and the Ink Machine, remove all the good bits, and leave the rest in a lacklustre console-esque action game... in fact I'm a little curious why this was rejected by Sony and Microsoft for their respective consoles. Ink Inside isn't even a complete game, the developers gave up halfway through and published what they'd done as if it was a complete game. If I had gotten suckered into buying it without being told that, I'd be feeling very ripped off. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not Ink Inside, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "Ink Inside - First Page" too. The purpose of this advertisement is to get you to shell out a whopping $20 USD to buy the "full" (not full) product... and since that's abandoned halfway through, I can't recommend that either. This is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a game demo that's been dumped on Steam to advertise another Steam store page in the hopes of raking in some cash. Just because advertisements are free, doesn't mean they're worth your time. It's important to understand there's a formal process to create a demo/page for a game which hasn't been followed here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos While it might seem like an inocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful. This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game. Instead, that visibility is given over to a demo/advert that's been published incorrectly and is polluting the marketplace. It's unclear if this mistake was made through incompetence or a deliberate intent to mislead gamers. Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behaviour and it's not good for gamers. Advertisements and incorrectly published demos don't add +1 to your game collector count, they aren't full games. It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers, you deserve better than adverts.

Игра "Ink Inside - First Page" оставляет приятное впечатление своей необычной задумкой и стильным визуальным исполнением. Идея путешествия внутри книги, где страницы оживают благодаря чернилам, завораживает с первых минут. Механика платформера, хоть и не самая инновационная, качественно реализована и дополняется интересными головоломками, которые заставляют подумать. Отдельно стоит отметить атмосферу. Минималистичный, но выразительный арт-стиль создает ощущение хрупкости и сказочности происходящего. Музыкальное сопровождение идеально подчеркивает настроение каждой главы, добавляя глубины погружению. Несмотря на то, что это всего лишь первая глава, она прекрасно задает тон и вызывает желание узнать, что ждет главного героя на следующих страницах. Игра короткая, но насыщенная и оставляет после себя приятное послевкусие. Однозначно рекомендую всем любителям атмосферных платформеров и необычных визуальных решений!

I enjoyed this enough that I grabbed the main game. Still looking forward to seeing more.
i recommend this for people who like goofy lil goobers and subtle existential horror
The nature of the game definitely involves not talking too much about its plot and stuff, but definitely it was worth playing for me. Great combat. There's some backtracking, which got a little confusing at the beginning, but overall a very fun game.
My new favorite when it comes to "earthbound"-like indie RPG games. "Ink Inside" has incredibly good writing, voice acting, characters, and artwork. I've never been in a dodgeball match myself, I think, but this game manages to encapsulate some fun ways to aim and attack things REALLY well.
if you loved undertale. you'll love this game. beautiful story, funny characters, nice music. play this NOW
oh my god just play it, it is so good and its only $20 USD JUST BUY IT PLEASE I BEG OF YOU ITS FREE TO START
