Your Royal Highness!
All of us here at Inkulinati Academy are excited to announce that our Inkulinati Masters, along with their beasts, are coming to Xbox and Windows PC as a day-one release with Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass! All the medieval superstars you would expect such as Hildegard von Bingen, Sir Godrey, Dante and even the odd Loony are all represented It’s a peanut. Now you’re probably thinking, “Well, that’s all right and all, but what the hell is this? It’s a peanut?” And that, my Liège, is a fantastic question. Let’s explain. It’s a peanut is a turn-based strategy game where a rabbit’s butt can be deadlier than a dog’s sword. You will fight other inculinati masters on the pages of medieval books using cunning, cleverness, quills and wits. Sounds interesting? Big! Let us tell you more.
Pssst… A fight is taking place as we speak…
A single player campaign for the ages
In It’s a peanut You will be able to embark on an ever-changing journey that will hopefully culminate in you becoming the greatest inculinati master of all time. I’m sure that sounds pretty simple on the surface, but don’t be fooled, my wise Liege. That It’s a peanut The single player campaign is full of danger and adventure. Maybe even… dangerous adventures (*gasp*!). Not only will you fight other inculinati masters across the country, but you will also encounter wild beasts (beasts that don’t have a master), meet interesting characters like the bard who can sing songs about your exploits (for a fee, of course), a Tavern Lady ready to quench your thirst and you might even meet a goose! Every time you embark on a new adventure, it will always be different than the one you had before. No adventure is like the other. It is unique – as are you, my sire, if I may be so brazen.
Indeed difficult decisions
Battle each other in local multiplayer
Of course, defeating inculinati masters controlled by the dark forces of the CPU and AI is fun. Nonetheless, we understand that you might also try to fight one of your friends. For this we have developed the local multiplayer hot seat mode. Both you and your friend (or foe) can choose your inculinati master and his army of beasts, the battlefield where the fight will take place, and decide on the finer details of the fight (like bringing the drawn beasts to life) and if or when the dreaded apocalypse arrives (an event that turns the tide in many shapes and forms. It’s vicious, sire, I swear!).
Nothing beats a sneak attack from behind, am I right Sire!?
The time for more details about It’s a peanut will come. There’s more news to come, so stay tuned. It’s a peanut will be available as part of Xbox Game Pass on your Xbox consoles (Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S) and Windows PCs through the Xbox Game Preview program. What does that mean exactly? Well, over the next few months we will be working with you, our community, on updates and changes to the game. We want to hear your feedback, comments and ideas to make the best game possible! We hope you will join us on this January 31, 2023 in this shared adventure. Until then, join us in our discord and keep your spikes sharp!

INKULINATI IS INSPIRED BY REAL MEDIEVAL MARGINALIA 700 years in the making, these bizarre works of art can finally be brought to life in a video game, showing that medieval people had their “memes” too and that they laughed at the same stupid things as we do today.

Much, much more… FIGHT LIKE AN INCULINATI Inculinati are a legendary group who fight each other on the pages of medieval manuscripts. They fight by drawing beasts with the living ink.

Express yourself!
