Frequently asked questions

Free play, accounts, saves, ink, subscriptions: the short answers. Exact amounts are on the pricing page.

Is the game free?

Yes. You receive ten units of ink a day without paying, and no part of the story is reserved for paying players. When the ink is empty, the marked paths stay open until the next day.

Do I need an account?

No. “Enter without leaving a trace” opens guest mode in a few seconds, with no email and no password. An account is only needed for the world to remember you across sessions and devices.

What happens to my progress in guest mode?

It is not written down. In guest mode you play freely and the trace stays on the device. To find your character, karma and world state on another device, you need an account.

Does the world really remember my choices?

Yes, on an account. Karma, relations with characters, the state of the world and the zone you stand in are recorded after every message. Sparing someone, or not, is kept.

What are ink, vials and gems?

Ink paces the narration and comes back each day. Vials add ink one bottle at a time, or give unlimited ink for 24 hours or 7 days. Gems are not sold: they are earned, and they unlock certain scenes.

Can I cancel a subscription?

Yes, at any time, from the Stripe subscription manager. Access stays active until the end of the period already paid, and ink bought one bottle at a time is not lost when the subscription ends.

Is there an age requirement?

Eighteen and over, given the violence and the morally difficult choices the story puts in front of you.

Which platforms?

The browser, and as an installable app on Android. Progress lives on your account, so the device does not matter.
