▶ Game Trailer (featuring yours truly): https://youtu.be/Hlx330vg0Dc

To arms! The rabbits are attacking! I present one last song before the New Year, which I created for the medieval fighting game Inkulinati. They originally asked me to write a song, but I also ended up voicing my namesake character, Hildegard von Bingen. If you play this game you may hear me die over and over again. Or...hopefully win!

Inkulinati is an ink-based strategy straight from medieval manuscripts, where a rabbit’s bum can be deadlier than a dog's sword. Become a master of the Living Ink, build your own bestiary, defeat medieval superstars and collect perks to unleash hidden powers! Inkulinati is coming to PC, Mac, and Xbox consoles on the 31st of January 2023.

The song is loosely based on Neidhart von Reuental's work, (1180-1237) "Meie, din liehter schin" with original lyrics and a Latin-ish chorus. The characters you see in the video are all units/beasts that you will command in the game.

The Lyrics:
Hast thou skill with a quill?
Ink shall be thy living will
Make thy mark upon the page
And with thy deeds a ledger fill
Here the pen is mighty still
If thou seekest glory

Inkulinati
Potens dominus
Miles bestialis
Artificiosus

If thine aim is acclaim
Come and join a merry game
Here a scribe can best a king
On vellum all can make a name
But beware the margin flame
Or thou shalt be sorry

Inkulinati
Potens dominus
Miles bestialis
Artificiosus

Hear them roar, beasts of yore
Snail and hare and dog of war
Wilt thou bless them from the rear
Or lead thine army at the fore?
Wielder of the living lore
What shall be thy story?

Inkulinati
Potens dominus
Miles bestialis
Artificiosus
