Finally: the games industry is in meltdown and indie studios are dying. inkle has no investors and no publishers, - so no one can close us - but it means we rely on sales + and word of mouth to survive.

So - please share, please celebrate, and we hope you enjoy!

🚨🔄 ANNOUNCING: Expelled! - an Overboard! game!

Verity Amersham is a scholarship girl at a top boarding school.

But someone's pushed a Prefect out of a window & everyone says it was her!

She has one day to clear her name - or find someone to take the fall.

I’ve got some time today to work on my entry to the @adventurex.bsky.social Game Jam. I’ve got the idea to revisit something I’ve made before and possibly reuse some of the assets.

Today made me a bit sad, so I cheer myself up with this art nouveau door. Turquoise blue art nouveau with the scrollwork, etc. In a beautiful turquoise arched frame ornamented with sunflowers.
