Dodge-rolling out of a massive AoE attack and plummeting to the ground below is a fact of life.<\/p>\n<p>But what if that design choice was practically always present?

Check out the debut trailer below.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"video\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a1vXKc5yv_U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch on YouTube<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>The game&rsquo;s runtime is only estimated to be between six to ten hours &ndash; meaning it&rsquo;s one of those delicious (and not common enough) short plays that break up bigger games that release throughout the year.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine collecting ink from your foes instead of Souls, and you&rsquo;ve got a pretty good handle on how it works. The top-down angle and constant fear of the ground below adds a new angle (pun sort-of intended) to genre stablemates. The game&rsquo;s gorgeous lighting effects and smart use of architectural level design in &ldquo;a nonlinear, hand-crafted vertical environment&rdquo; are the icing on the cake.<\/p>\n<p>The title is set to launch Q2 2022 on Steam, and <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1661600\/Dead_Ink\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">you can wishlist it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <a
