About this game

Inkheart is a classic point-and-click adventure for Nintendo DS, based on director Iain Softley’s film and Cornelia Funke’s original fantasy book.

Players take control of Mo, his daughter Meggie, and Dustfinger, a fire-eater. After Mo discovers the mysterious book Inkheart in an old book store, the group is drawn into danger as others pursue it. Meggie is also unaware of her father’s secret: a unique magical ability.

The Nintendo DS is held like a book, reflecting the story’s focus on books. Developed and published by DreamCatcher, the game was released on January 12, 2009.
