INK is a psychological one-shot about a young aspiring manga artist named Nox who is on the verge of quitting.
Exhausted, frustrated, and drowning in self-doubt, Nox falls asleep at their desk—only to awaken in a distorted world made entirely of unfinished sketches, erased lines, and half-drawn characters. The sky is smudged graphite. The ground is crumpled paper. Everything around them is incomplete.
From the shadows emerges a monstrous being formed from crossed-out panels, torn drafts, and harsh words like “Not good enough” and “You’ll never make it.”
The creature represents Nox’s inner voice—the fear of failure and the belief that their art will never be enough.
As Nox runs, fights, and struggles through this broken sketch world, they begin to realize something:
The monster isn’t made from failure.
It’s made from unfinished growth.
In the final confrontation, instead of destroying the creature, Nox redraws it—reshaping it into something imperfect but alive. The world around them begins to ink itself cleanly for the first time.
Nox wakes up at their desk.
The page is still blank.
But this time, they start drawing again.
