Hey
Inkarn8: First Pages just got a HUGE update!
Since launching our Steam page last week, we've seen renewed interest in Inkarn8 and our free prologue, First Pages, which has now been played by over 12,000 people!
First Pages was originally designed as a bite-sized introduction to the world of Inkarn8. It walked players through the mechanics with a tutorial and a small, mostly linear demo chapter.
But one of the biggest pillars of Inkarn8 is the Choose Your Own Adventure experience, and that wasn't really represented in the original prologue.
So we've been quietly working on changing that!
What's new?
📖 Branching adventures: The demo chapter has been expanded with multiple paths and meaningful choices.
⚔️ More encounters: Two additional combat encounters, two random events, two new minigames, a shop and extra treasure pages.
🩸 Expanded classes: Both Wardenscribe and Bloodmancer have received additional class actions and artifacts, bringing them closer to what we're building for Chapter 1.
✨ Visual and gameplay improvements: A bunch of the visual upgrades, performance improvements and quality-of-life changes we've made to the main game over the past few months have now been brought into First Pages.
🔁 Replayable demo chapter: This is probably my favourite addition! You can now replay the expanded chapter at different depths, experiment with both classes and try different builds and paths.
Already played First Pages?
You don't need to go through the tutorial again! If you've previously completed it, you can jump straight into the expanded chapter from class selection.
This is a much better representation of the direction we're taking Inkarn8, and we'd love to hear what you think!
