Inkwell Edition

Pokemon Inkwell is a mystery-puzzle-roguelike game created by Unfolding and DizzyEgg. It mixes the familiar world of Pokémon with a more unpredictable and story-driven setup. Players take on repeatable challenges where every run plays out differently, with randomized enemies, items, and maps that keep the experience fresh.

This version steps away from the standard Pokémon formula. Instead of following a set storyline, players unlock new characters, each with unique playstyles and skills that affect how battles and puzzles unfold. The game gradually reveals a deeper mystery through clues hidden in the environment, rewarding those who pay attention.

The creators focused on building something that feels both cozy and unsettling, blending lighthearted visuals with a sense of eerie uncertainty. It also introduces a custom leveling system designed by DizzyEgg, offering a new way to grow stronger across multiple attempts. For players who enjoy strategy, exploration, and uncovering secrets piece by piece, it offers plenty of replay value.

You can play Pokemon Inkwell fast and easily for free right in your browser on kbhgames.com, with no installation required.
