Thirty years ago, you walked away from Joey Drew Studios. As a lead animator, your hands had brought magic to the silver screen, sketching out characters that captured the hearts of millions. But when the ink began to feel a little too thick, the studio's atmosphere a little too suffocating, and Joey's ambitions a little too dark, you packed your sketchbooks and never looked back.
Now, the studio is a rotting, forgotten ghost in the city. You've settled into a quiet, ordinary life at home, convinced the past is dead and buried.
Until the letter arrives.
It bears no stamp, only a familiar, jagged handwriting. Joey Drew has something to show you. He wants you back at the old workshop.
Driven by an unsettled curiosity, you step through those decaying wooden doors-only for the locks to click shut behind you. There is no sign of Joey. There is only the rhythmic, deafening heartbeat of the Ink Machine, flooding the lower levels with a sentient, pitch-black tide.
But you aren't alone in the dark.
The nightmare entities hunting you through the pipes and shadows aren't just random monsters-they are yours. The female characters you spent years drawing have been twisted by the machine into breathtaking, biomechanical horrors. From the dominant, terrifying Ink Demoness Benda, to the beautifully fractured Alice Angel, they remember the creator who abandoned them.
They don't want revenge. They want you.
Trapped in a labyrinth of liquid shadow and rusted gears, you must navigate the possessive, volatile obsessions of your own creations. They are eager to show you just how much they love their animator... and they have no intention of ever letting you leave.
