Inkblot: The Art Restorer — press kit

Description

Three in the morning in the restorer’s workshop of the Nocturne Gallery. An inkwell nobody has opened for a hundred years starts to tremble, and a living blot of ink crawls out. It goes through every hall spitting at the canvases: the figures drown in ink, and their shadows slide off the paintings and land in a tangled heap on your workbench.

The silhouettes lie on top of one another and cut each other into dozens of pieces. Pick a paint and colour every piece of one figure, including the parts other figures cover. Once a figure is whole in a single colour used nowhere else, it lifts off the bench and flies back into the painting.

Seven hours until the museum opens. Every shadow has to be recognised and returned to its frame.

• 128 famous paintings and a short story about each
• 111 levels in 17 halls, diptychs and triptychs
• A trick of its own in every hall: mirrors, a meagre palette, a lamp, a turntable, a spinning top
• No penalties and no rush, with hints
• Fully in English and Russian

RedRock Games

RedRock Games is a small independent team. We make games where the player has few resources, little time and a lot of decisions — each one with consequences.

We are not interested in difficulty for its own sake, but in fairness: when you fail, you know exactly where you went wrong. Realistic physics, sound that gives you away, and a world that runs on its own rules instead of playing along.

We self-publish. Every project ships in several languages at once — English, Russian, German, French and Chinese — because our players live everywhere.
