Acquire and lead units in a wooden board game against a shadowy game master.









Here is an excerpt from Inkshade's Steam description:
The creature behind the desk insists that you play their wooden board game. And in this game, you are a captain looking for the mysterious realm known only as the abyss. To reach such a place, you’ll need to conquer a continent, acquire an airship, and sail into cursed skies. Or rather, assemble a crew and have them do it for you.
It will take more than one attempt to defeat the game master and achieve victory, and every run will be different from the last. However, with strategy, tactics, and tenacity, you will be destined to reach your goal.
Refine and upgrade a collection of distinct pieces and deploy them in a turn-based strategy board game. These pieces are your crew, and they will do as you say.
Find new classes of pieces as you solve puzzles and explore the murky chambers beyond the desk. Please ignore the dark stains on the carpet.
Add new pieces to your collection in the middle of each run by recruiting fallen foes. Whether or not they joined voluntarily is irrelevant, since they will bleed for you all the same.
Balance out fixed-value fights with health-restoring exploration to overcome knotty dungeons.
Defend a settlement through tactical battles in this digital adaptation of the dark fantasy boardgame.
Make the best of each draw as your equipment gets mixed with off-the-wall enemies on a 3x3 grid.
