Inkle Studios is an independent games company based in Cambridge with a reputation for innovative story-driven games.

Its games including 'Heaven's Vault', launched in Aprll 2019, use a combination of hand-drawn art in 3D and the scripting language, ink. The language learns what players say and do and incorporates those actions into the narrative.
