About the game
Dare to Enter
Shed Skin, Bleed Ink is a visually striking, boundary-breaking, experimental game where you explore—or confine—your identity by carving sigils into your flesh under the guidance of the Overseer. Your ultimate goal: to reincarnate as the Prophet in perfect alignment with the Observatory's sacred vision.
But to escape this cycle, you may need to look beyond the stars and deep into the files of this ritual...
