Ink Stains
The player assumes the role of a writer in an unfinished game about creativity and burnout that lasts for infinity while two players compete against each other to create something new with limited time remaining until their work is abandoned due to exhaustion or lost enthusiasm, which can be seen as ironic given they eventually finish it. This production was written during the 2022 Hue Shift Jam hosted by Sebastian Yue (Hue) titled "Ink Stain" and features art from PixaBay's coffee_ghost\_TW in collaboration with RJKGames' penultimate product: who is being whispered of here, but not specified at all as a dream. A Chinese translation was made possible through the help of CoffeeGhost TW via Twitter (Coffee).
