Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Who Inked Me? is a party game, and party games get good by being played by real groups of friends. The whole match already works online, from the first drink to the last one. What we want to learn from real rooms is the balance: how long a dream should take, how much the shake cards should cost, how the points and the prize pot feel, and how long a match should last. Early Access lets us tune all of that with the people actually playing it.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About 6 months, depending on how quickly the balance settles with real players.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to keep tuning the rules and the shake cards based on your feedback, add more tattoo themes and dream drawings, and polish the animations and the interface. The core of the game stays the same: drink, pass out, get inked, guess who did it.
”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The whole match is playable online with 4–6 players: the theme, the auction for shake cards, the drinks, drawing on the sleeper with a stencil marker, a liner and a shader in ten ink colors, the drunken dream he has to trace, the tour, the catch card and the accusation. Players meet in shrine festival lobbies (up to 40 players, opened by players) and start rooms together from the sake stalls. Tattoos that stay on you are permanent and follow your wrestler between matches, and your face comes from a selfie processed on your own PC. The interface is available in 13 languages. Expect balance changes and some rough edges.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will go up when the full version comes out. If you buy during Early Access, you keep the game and every update at no extra cost.
”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Through our Discord server and the Steam discussions: we read the bug reports and suggestions, post patch notes with every update, and try rule changes with players before keeping them.”

About This Game

Drink. Pass out. Get inked. Guess who did it.


The Sumo Association forbids tattoos. The yakuza on TV have gorgeous ones. So a few wrestlers sit down in the dojo with a bottle of sake...

Before he drinks, the next sleeper says what tattoo he wants ("a roaring tiger head", "a koi leaping through the waves"...). Then he falls asleep in the middle of the tatami, and everyone else grabs a tattoo machine and draws it on his sleeping body. Most of them can't draw.

How a round goes

  • The auction. Shake cards come up one at a time and the price keeps falling. The prize pot takes the money. Use a card later to shake the sleeper's dream and everyone who is still drawing.
  • The sleeper dreams. Trace a drunken dream with your needle without slipping off the line. Finish it and you wake up silently. Nobody is told.
  • The others draw. Lean in with a stencil marker, then a liner and a shader in ten ink colors. Keep an eye on his face. Is he still asleep?
  • He might be watching. Awake, he can quietly look around on a neck that stretches, or shut his eyes and pretend he's still out.
  • The tour. He moves the camera and everyone looks at each piece together. The game scores how well each piece matches the theme.
  • The accusation. The game picks the piece that looks least like the theme, unless he plays his catch card and picks one himself. He points at a face. Right: he tattoos that piece onto its artist, and the artist drinks next. Wrong: it stays on him, and he drinks again.
  • Two cups in a row and you're out. A match lasts four rounds at most. When someone goes down, the prize pot goes to everyone else by their points.

Features

  • Online party game for 4–6 players. Invite friends with a 4-letter room code, or meet strangers at a festival.
  • Shrine festival lobbies for up to 40 players, opened by players: wander around in a mask or show your face, sit down at a sake stall, toast, and head into a room together.
  • Your face on a big sumo body: upload a selfie once. It is processed on your own PC and becomes your wrestler's face. You can also play with the creator's face.
  • Shake cards: win them at the auction, then shake the dream and the hands of everyone still drawing.
  • 64 classic tattoo themes: tigers, dragons, koi, swallows, anchors, skulls and more.
  • Your skin keeps the score: every tattoo that stays on you is permanent and follows you from match to match.
  • Every match starts with a stake of in-game money. It can't be bought with real money or cashed out.
  • Voice chat with everyone in the room.
  • 13 languages.

Content note

Players draw freely on each other's characters, and drawings are not moderated. Faces made from selfies are visible to the other players in your room; in the festival lobby your face is only shown if you choose to, otherwise you wear a festival mask. Voice chat is available in rooms and in the festival, where you can hear players near you. Your microphone stays off until you agree to turn it on. Characters wear a traditional sumo loincloth.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Drinking sake is the core of the game: whoever drinks passes out, and the others tattoo him. The sumo wrestlers wear a traditional loincloth, so their buttocks are partly visible from behind, but they are never fully nude. Players draw freely on each other's wrestlers during online matches, and the drawings are not moderated. Players can voice chat with each other, including strangers in the festival lobby. Yakuza appear only as tattoo inspiration in a TV news segment.
