3The game follows a hero with no name (he left it behind him, the {{Narrator}} says) who is completing the final part of his training, and seeing his dear Aiko's latest picture. When they get home, they decide to spend some time outside when a bird with a broken wing comes to them. Not knowing who could have done such a thing, they decide to set out on a journey to find out. Thus begins a journey involving moving boxes, pulling levers, and repainting things elsewhere.

8!!''Inked'' contains examples of:
9* OneHundredPercentCompletion: Getting all of the hidden canvas pictures in each level.
10* BlockPuzzle: Expect this type of puzzle a lot in this game.
11* CopeByCreating: The Artist [[spoiler:recently lost his wife]] and fights his grief by drawing. He wants to create a dramatic story, and for that reason subjects the Hero to many hardships.
12* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The majority of the environments and objects are mostly in white. Though there is [=SOME=] colour to indicate things like water. The Artist's hands are two of the few fully-coloured objects in the game.
13* {{Narrator}}: One exists in this game telling the story. At first it seems as he's a separate entity from the Artist, because he speaks about the Artist in the third person. However, when things get emotionally heavy, he drops the pretense and starts using the first-person narration.
14* MadMarbleMaze: Some puzzles require rolling a large ball into a hole to open a pathway.
15* NoNameGiven: The PlayerCharacter has no name. He left it behind him, the Narrator says.
16* OneWordTitle: Inked. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with its alternate title, though.
17* RageAgainstTheAuthor: Not exactly rage, but the Hero defies the Author at the crucial point and makes his own choice.
18* SadisticChoice: The Hero has to sacrifice some creatures of his world in order to save Aiko.
