Hello Inkulinati Masters,
We are thrilled to announce the much-anticipated arrival of the third Major Inkulinati update, specially crafted for your enjoyment. Brace yourself for new and exciting Beasts, features, Tiny Inkulinati Master, Battlefields, and other improvements that will add more Medieval manuscript sparkle to your Inkulinati experience!
First and foremost, prepare to meet the brand-new Inkulinati Master - the Ape Professor, who brings with him the unique and highly formidable Ape Army. These fresh warriors will undoubtedly add a whole new dimension to your gameplay, offering thrilling challenges and strategic opportunities like never before. They certainly don’t… wait for it… monkey around.
The Ape Professor is equipped with three Hand Actions: Awakening (wakes a friendly beast up from their Nap and gives them an additional Turn in the current Chapter), Mass Headache (gives a Headache to up to three selected enemy Beasts), and Swat with Infection (strikes the selected target for 5 damage and Infects it). In Duel mode, The Ape Professor has five Talents to use: Plague Immunity (Professor is immune to Plague), Painful Fingers (moving enemies with hand Actions cause Headache), Ape’s Anger (when Tiny gets damage from an enemy attack, a random enemy Beast gains Headache), Plague Business (for every infected Beast on the Battlefield at the end of the Chapter, Tiny will gain 1 drop of Living Ink), and a Non-Daily Headache (if Professor's health drops below 50%, a random enemy Beast will gain a Headache at the beginning of each Chapter).

Update 1.25 (February 6th, 2023)
Hello Inkulinati Masters!
Just this week, our Early Access chapter started! We’re buzzing with excitement for our new journey and what’s up ahead. We hope you’re as excited as we are!
Foremost, thank you so much for your feedback you’ve sent our way. We’ve eagerly read them and are working hard to improve your experience.
Today’s hotfix is the first page in that book. Here’s what it contains:
- Fixed issue that make the “Next” button doesn’t work on Character Creation on the begging of the Journey mode
- Some Beasts were nerfed, like Donkey Bard - we increased his cost and cooldown on Farting The Pipe action, and Farting The Pipe action no longer can affect Tiny Inkulinati
- First tutorial run in Journey on Easy and Medium are now simpler and less overwhelming as we excluded more complicated battlefields elements and decreased number of enemy’s Beasts
- Easy and Medium difficulties should be easier now, as we change some parameters (more starting Gold, More Starting Ink on Easy, less Boredom gain on Medium per Beasts’ draw etc.)
- Important changes in Non-Battle Locations. Prestige required to unlock better dialogue options in Journey mode are now constant and don’t change from act to act. Boredom can be lowered more often and by larger values. Health can be regenerated more often and for greater amounts.
To see all the changes, take a look at the changelog below.
Inkulinati will be evolving along the way and get further improved, with new content being added too. We know where we want to go and what we want to add to the game, but we also want to hear your thoughts as well!

Yours,
