Inkwellers News & Patch Notes

We've added Portuguese to the game, thanks to our amazing community members! The bubble with symbols in level 3 have been tweaked, and shouldn't bug now with slight offset for client. In level 9, the dagger will come back to it's original location regardless if thrown or placed, which should help with not losing it permanently! Enjoy!

Due to questions and issues with some potion creation, We've decreased the sensitivity for temperature change. It should be way smoother now to create the potions.

Area 4 sliding doors shouldn't get blocked after completing the puzzle Statues in area 5 should now sync correctly between Client and the Host.

Hints in 7th Location have been corrected.

Hi! Hotfix #6 here! Potion that makes you small work correctly now, so you can get to being big again! Collision in alchemist room doors has been added, so no cheating allowed anymore! Sync issue a spinny-thingie with stars and suns should be resolved now!

Hi there, Hotfix #4 here! In Alchemist room, the hidden ink is now easier to set correctly and there is only viable solution.

Very small hotfix - Cauldron doesn't get disabled after creating the final potion - feel free to experiment with other potions if you didn't make them before completing the room puzzles!

Hello! Hotfix #2 here! Tweaked a placement slots in the final level, so you can avoid a softlock. The ladle in alchemist room always snaps back to it's original location to avoid a softlock. Few other minor tweaks! Enjoy! And thank you for giving Inkwellers a go!

Hi! Few things we've tweaked: Options menu default is now generic settings instead of controls settings. You can read ending credits clearly now! Collision in 3rd location in one of the spots has been added so no going through the walls and ending up in void. In case you might end up in the void, we've added a KillZ mechanic, that will spawn you back in a safe location if you fall through the world We've also received a bug report to do with item pick-up server-host validation, and added further safeguard to prevent any issues of this type. Enjoy!

Inkwellers is OUT NOW!

Hi everyone!

We’re incredibly happy to finally say this: Inkwellers is now live and ready to play on Steam!

Inkwellers is a 2-player co-op puzzle adventure where you and a friend enter Celiphia's enchanted journal and solve puzzles built around communication, teamwork, and figuring things out together.

After more than two years of working on the game during evenings and weekends, it feels surreal to finally let players experience it.

Thank you so much to everyone who wishlisted the game, followed our development, gave feedback, tested it, or simply supported us along the way. It genuinely means a lot. (we hope no bugs nor issues will occure lol, but if anything please let us know on our discord!)

We hope you have fun getting lost inside the journal.

Play Inkwellers now on Steam!

Hello everyone! We're super excited to finally show you the new trailer for Inkwellers, And we are super happy to confirm that Inkwellers is releasing on May 28th 2026!

This trailer is our biggest look yet at what Inkwellers will have to offer, so please sit back, relaxing, and enjoy the video below!

Over the past few months we've been working on ironing out all the aspects of the game, to the point where we are happy with it! It truly is the game we'd like to play, especially as a two-player coop puzzler fans! And hopefully it will also be the same for you! We've also implemented a lot of feedback that came from our amazing community members over at our discord, and we are extremely thankful for their help, and honestly we are truly moved by their willingness to dedicate their free time to help us create the best possible experience for everyone else. Thank You!

Also We'd like to thank everyone who supported us thus far, wishlisted the game, and sent kind words our way! This really means a lot to us! We are a small 2-person studio, working on Inkwellers in our spare time, and we never expected to reach this many of you! It's still 2 weeks until release, so for us it's full steam ahead, and we will see you inside Celiphia's journal on May 28th! In the meantime, join our discord, and say hi! :)

Hey everyone!

We wanted to share a quick update with you. We’ve decided to move the release of Inkwellers to late Q1/early Q2 2026. The game is very much alive and in active development — we’ve just been a bit quiet lately.

The reason? As You may know, Inkwellers is a project we work on in our spare time, alongside full time jobs. Over past few months these were pretty demanding, and on top of that a lot of other things were happening that required our attention. We were making progress when we could, but it just wasn't enough to also allocate time for updates/media, we decided to use that time to work on the game itself.

As for Kickstarter, we decided to not go on with that, due to reasons cited above. Kickstarter rewards and goals came with additional workload, that most certainly would impact the release date even further given the circumstances.

But all that being said, We are back! And we’re coming at full speed! From now on, you can expect, regular updates, and plenty of behind-the-scenes looks as we move closer and closer to release. The final stretch is officially on, so stay tuned! Below are a few screenshots from our recent work — and you can expect many more very soon

Thank you for your patience and support! Here's some screenshots:

Hello Inkwellers!

We’re thrilled to announce that Inkwellers has been selected as a featured game in Tiny Teams 2025! The event is starting Today! This is a huge milestone for our two-person team, and we couldn’t have done it without your support, all the feedback really helps us stay motivated and going!

What is Tiny Teams? In the words of the organizers - " Tiny Teams is a festival all about celebrating games made by solo developers and micro-studios, from already popular indie hits, to hidden gems and what could be the next "big thing.” " https://www.yogscast.games/tinyteams The showcase starts Today 7th of August 2025! Check out live stream here: and here: And here's few screenshots of what we've been working on!

Hi!

We've just updated the demo with few quality of life features and some bug fixes.

We've added an option to invert X and Y axis for mouse and controller

Head bob / Camera Shake can now be turned on or off

We've added a FOV slider
You can zoom in and out with RMB / B button on controller
Several bug Fixes in regards to physics
There shouldn't be a hiccup while approaching the large door in second area anymore.

We were made aware that a rare bug occurs, when players try to get into the game from Lobby, and it would result in "Fatal Error", We did some digging, and improved the code where we though it might fix the issue. We had a hard time replicating it on our side, therefore it's difficult for us to say for sure that it's 100% fixed, but we did what we could based on logs provided by some players! Also some players reported that verifying the files fixed it for them. That being said, if that issue occurs to You, please join our Discord, we would love to get a crash-log from You, so we can investigate the issue further.

Happy puzzle solving!

Hi everyone! We're happy to share few news with you all, so let's get to it! Kickstarter We are launching a Kickstarter campaign soon, and the pre-launch page is up, so please go and follow it! We decided to go with crowd funding for few things - Soundtrack and SFX, Localization and extra Marketing, so all the things we are most lacking in, or are unable to do ourselves. Of course if the campaign is not a success, we will do our best to deliver the game in the best state we will be able to. Steam Next Fest We are participating in the upcoming Steam Next Fest event, which is going to start next Monday 9th of June! We'd love to hear from you, so leave us a review, tell us what you think about the game! Demo Update We've just updated the demo with few quality of life improvements, here some of those: - Host can swap which player plays as which character freely - Character animation now follows where the player is looking, so no more blank staring straight ahead at all times :) - Fixed jumping animation for male character - Voice Chat Volume value indicator shows the correct value New Trailer coming soon! We are currently working on a new trailer, that will showcase even more of Inkwellers, so stay tuned for that! Thank you so much for joining us on this journey! Here's few screenshots of new areas you will be able to explore in the full game: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45070418/20dab3872e584a7eb168c652cff4a5fc23a6d67d.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45070418/cf1d4668c9f96936f50616ea43b58f135a710807.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45070418/d459f9110190973c60bfd6b3c5d813ebb08cc063.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45070418/e9dc374301aafa6ae71be041262124651b1810b6.jpg

Hey everyone! We thought to give everyone who's interested a small update on what we've been working on, and overall where we're at with the project. DEMO First and foremost we are focusing 90% of our energy on making the demo, To give you an idea what will you be able to see in the demo - It will include 8 puzzles, two of which will be a bit more complex and layered, with other six more linear, but keep in mind that includes tutorial puzzles. All this will be happening in four major areas, out of those areas : One is complete Two are almost done and we are aiming to complete those within next two weeks. One is half-way done, and still needs quite a bit of work in terms of 3d and implementing puzzles. PLAYER CHARACTER In other news, just yesterday we finished working on one of our Player Character model, textures and rig! so all that's left is to animate, which thankfully one of our team members is really good at it B) TUTORIAL We also finished working on the visuals and puzzles for tutorial area, so that's all playable and next in line for internal testing! That's about it, thanks for reading! ScrumptySproutEnojyer out
