[ID: Three screenshots from an Ink game replicating the style of Disco Elysium, including backgrounds, tasks, red/white checks, and skill portraits. Detailed text description under cut, but the point of the images is their styling.]
So I went into some sort of hyperdrive this weekend and churned out an Ink webport template that resembles Disco Elysium, intended for use in fan-made games for people who don’t like coding? Anyway, you can play it here or copy the template to make your own!
(And of course shout out to the other DE fan game frameworks made or in the works! I just love using Ink as a language, so I wanted one of my own)

New Task: Figure out what else you can do.

Some Dumb Game: This is going to take some concentration, let’s clear out your head for a moment.
