Dead Ink

Short description

Descend a dense, interconnected brutalist tower in this top-down soulslike built around exploration. Harvest ink from enemies, then spend it to print your body, weapons and equipment. Every death costs ink; run out, and the run ends.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by the $19.99 launch price — there is not enough price history for this game to weight the copies by what they actually sold for. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
