Ink & Omen

You've been added to the group chat. You don't remember joining.

Ashmore University has a reputation: ancient, prestigious, and quietly wrong in ways no one talks about. As a first-year student, you're still learning the rules. But your new study group is already teaching you something the orientation packet left out: everyone here is hiding something.

Ink & Omen is a dark academia chat simulator where your story unfolds through a Discord-style group chat. Read incoming messages, choose how to respond, and navigate four tangled relationship routes full of gothic romance, buried secrets, and the creeping feeling that the university itself is watching.

**Dorian** is sarcastic and unavailable, until he isn't. **Vesper** is flawless and cold, until you get close enough to see what she's actually researching. And then there's **Ren**, who only ever communicates through the chat, and who may not be what they seem.

The base game is completely free and includes Dorian's route and Vesper's route. Toggle rain ambience, save your progress in-browser, and stay up past midnight unraveling the first threads of Ashmore's mystery.

Two more routes and a bonus art pack are available in the paid expansion.
