Inscryption

I never really liked card games but I gave this game a try and man it got me hooked! The story is amazing and completely unpredictable! It's a game you just have to try on your own! Highly Recommend!

This game was expertly crafted, the pacing was immaculate, the immersion was intense, and it really felt like a product that's been polished for years. I loved the strategy, the "try, try again" aspect of the game, and the story was well written and excellently put together. Definitely worth my time and money

Dude, Inscryption is wild. It starts off as this creepy card game, and you’re like, "Okay, I know what this is." But then it flips the script and turns into something completely unexpected. The atmosphere is super unsettling—like you’re stuck in this cabin with this weird, shadowy guy who’s watching your every move. The gameplay itself is genius: it’s simple to pick up, but there’s so much depth in how you build your deck and strategize.

And just when you think you’ve figured it out? Boom—there’s a twist, and it’s like a whole new game. I don’t wanna spoil anything, but it messes with your head in the best way. If you’re into card games with a dark vibe and a story that keeps surprising you, this is it. You’ll be hooked, trust me.

I love this game, it is one of my favourites. I love the art style and dialogue and characters, they are all very fleshed out and masterfully crafted. The gameplay is fun and addictive, easy to pick up. The overall story is very intriguing and to experience it is a blessing. Inscryption is a one of a kind game.

not to glaze or anything

Great game, until you get to the 2D pixel section, where all of the aesthetic and half the gameplay goes to shit, and you will want to use the dagger item from the first section IRL.

Also really hate the mechanics of the 3rd section. I don't understand why the developers decided to release this game, where 2/3 of the game is 2 diffrent games that you dont know about before getting the game. I really thought i had a cool and challenging rouge-like card game, but was very disapointed.

I'm glad i picked this up in the dredge, animal well bundle,
I'm gonna try not to spoil the games story but holy fuck, sacrifice the mantis god into a bear (thank me later)

The card battles are a blast, with a unique twist on familiar mechanics. You'll encounter some seriously weird card effects and unexpected turns that keep you on your toes. I love the gritty, almost unsettling atmosphere, and the janky animations really add to the game's charm. I did have a sleep in the middle of my playthrough and i can confirm i dreamt in 2fps.

Beyond the card games, there's a real sense of mystery and intrigue. You'll uncover hidden clues and solve puzzles to piece together the unsettling story. And for those who crave a deeper challenge, the "replayability skulls" offer unique twists and rewards, encouraging you to delve deeper into the game's secrets.

If you enjoy card games, horror, or just unique and unforgettable gaming experiences, Inscryption is an absolute must-play.

This game has geniuely changed my entire thought process on life, how I talk to people, and how to make friends. It's unlocked this new childlike wonder that I haven't experienced in years, and it's still the greatest feeling I've ever felt.
This isn't a joke comment, it's a love letter to Daniel's games.

I love your games, I love your stories, and I love your ARG games. Never stop making people smile mate.

Love the concept and the way the story progresses. Engaging game play and overall excellently executed game.

Absolutely amazing game. Worth playing all the way through and the ARG is very enjoyable.

Kaycee's mod (this is built-in as part of the game) makes this game. Play the game all the way through at least once, but Kaycees mod is what I keep coming back to play.

I have been delaying playing this for a year. Now I understand why. I hate just about everything about it. After 15 minutes I am already sick of slow temp, aestetics and most of all sound effects. This game is disgusting. Artsy, but vomit inducing

ok peakscryption. if youre bad at games like this (me) you are going to get frusturated before you get to the end of the map. Keep going. holy mother of fuck keep going

I've never played a game as good as inscryption, the story is unique, it isnt a cake walk to play, and its a free pass to crying your self asleep at night when Leshy beats yo ass.

The game is amazing stop reading other reviews. Get the game and experience it without spoilers cause there are so many small puzzles and mechanics which are so rewarding to discover

9.5/10

So much fun. Act 2 is a bit long and i missed the rouge like element, but over all, i really enjoyed the game. Wish there was a version where i could infinitely play the rogue like

inscryption is in my top 5 favorite games of all time. the gameplay is fun as hell, the visuals are gorgeous, the difficulty is hard, but not incredibly difficult (especially when you know what you're doing), and the story, as it slowly unveils itself as you progress, only gets more and more fascinating. there is so much to this game and that's all the more to love. if you're into roguelike deck-builders, THIS is the game for you. for the best experience, PLEASE go in blind because spoilers can really mess with the compelling story and twists.

it isn't without its flaws, however. as much as i adore this game, i will admit that its second act is definitely the weakest part of the game. not only does it depend even MORE on rng than the first act already does, it can be rather... boring? there are still a lot of things to love about the second act. mostly in learning about the different characters in the game and the little secrets that can be found in hidden locations (make sure to check every wall and dark corner to find them, they're really interesting).

it's also worth mentioning that the game doesn't really have much replay value once you've played through the game one or two times. i'd definitely recommend replaying it at least once to find all the different secrets and hidden lore, but other than that, there isn't too much else to get out of it. at least for me. if you're really into the gameplay of the first act, kaycee's mod is definitely the way to go to get more of that.

overall, great game, would totally recommend it to anyone who likes deck-builder roguelikes! PLEASE, BUY THIS GAME, IT'S WORTH THE COST!

remember to set the cuckoo clock to 11:00! it'll be useful, i promise!

Everyone needs to play this game—it’s absolutely incredible! The story, the card battles, the endless variations in the battle system, the hidden Easter eggs, the secrets… it’s just on another level.

The game is split into three distinct phases, each using the same mechanics but in completely unique ways.

If you’re into card battles, deck-building, and a story packed with fascinating characters, don’t think twice—just dive in!

I know this game came out over 3 years ago and I doubt anyone will read this but after revisiting the game I felt I had to talk about this ----->
Most of the reviews for this game are positive but of the negative ones i looked through a shocking amount of them just complained about, "It's frustrating when i lose to a boss and have to restart from the beginning couldn't it just punish me and move on" But, the game says in its description its a ROGUELIKE game and it just so happens that EVERY roguelike is like that because THAT'S WHAT A ROGUELIKE IS. The game isn't trying to hide that fact and it even goes away in everything but act 1 and Kaycee's Mod. Also do people buy hard card game puzzle horror game because they want a chill time playing Pokemon go with some friends? In my opinion this game is an easy 9.5/10 with something in it for everyone. whether you are a lore fanatic or a casual game enjoyer playing stuff here and there, or even a serial kidnapper who loves the way Leshy does it in the beginning and ignores every other aspect of the game. Anyway buy it if you haven't already

The art is sick, the gameplay is sick, the lore is sick, the secrets and animation is sick.
Act one is clearly the best, second kinda suck and third is very good.

The card game is just fundamentally so simple and even with the gradual extensions on it, it was hard not to get bored of it after a while. I kept going for the story, but the story was... good but not great, and got stale. Meta mysteries in video games have been done before, and done better by games such as Her Story

Inscryption is an absolute masterpiece. So fun, so enjoyable, so interesting and mysterious. Making broken deck builds, finding secrets and just enjoying the story and in-game videos - that's Inscryption. And, of course, Kaycee's Mod - a completely different experience, making gameplay much harder but still remaining really delightful. Masterpiece. Absolute cinema

Fantastic game. Fun and addictive gameplay that gets changed up before it gets too repetitive. Gripping story told in a very interesting way. While this isn't a roguelike or an ARG it has many elements of both, and fans of either will love this game.

amazing game. very unique story. challenging, spooky, broken, and a good old time. deserves all the praises it gets. There is layers to this game.

It has the same issues as Pony Island, it's uselessly meta and the meta add only boring stuff. It can feel innovative the first time, but after a few games like that, it's just boring. Especially when the meta part is not useful to what it is telling.

Chapter 1 is interesting but the randomness of the runs makes it annoying after a while. You either get completely broken or you die in 2 turns.
Chapter 2 is awful and should probably have been completely reworked.
Chapter 3 is a bit more interesting.

Какие у него все-таки хорошие игры!
Интересный взгляд, чувствуется "самость". Очень многослойная.
Нравится "фишка" как в "One Shot", связи с компьютером.
И даже если поначалу она Вам покажется скучной, это точно не так, достаточно пройти немного дальше, и вуаля!
Благодарности!

В этой игре босы нереально читерят, но самое смешное, что вы к этому не просто готовы, вы еще и собираетесь их перечитерить)

первый акт просто идеально прекрасен, дальше атмосфера и сложность немного проседают, но после прохождения открывается специальный мод именно по первому акту 🥰

I wish i had time to play one more round with HIM...

The game is best experienced going in blind. Just know that its so much more than just a deck building game, and thats coming from a guy who doesnt enjoy card games much anyways! Its ambience and story telling is very unique and the game suprises you at every turn. Going into the game without knowing anything other than liking the game's atmosphere and artstyle, i did NOT expect for the game to end the way it did, and i loved it a lot. It just goes to show how many people wont even try the game out thinking its just a boring card game, which is really unfortunate...

Great game, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, dont knock it till you try it!

Go into this game blind but I will say you should look out for a card called Ouroborus. Trust me you'll need it

Starts off amazing and then they stopped letting me play the game. Instead they gave me different games to play that were much worse so I lost the motivation to keep going.

Or, the twist didn't work for me.

I love this game! It's so much more than one might think it is. It operates on so many levels. Trust me, It's not just a silly little card game. so meta

A big letdown. Act 1 is easily 10/10 (the part untill you beat the final boss for the first time). The rest is just a convoluted, unnecessary and most importantly generic and non-intersecting story with some gameplay to pad it out. This game got FNAF'd. The whole way through the second and third parts of the game it feels rushed, unpolished, I'd even dare say unfinished. Act 3 is just a worse version of act 1, act 2 is just act 1 but with way too many cards and mechanics to keep track of. The game was fine as-is. The dramatic tonal shifts, ignoring the player's triumphs and disregarding any progress you've made makes it not an enjoyable experience. In the end I feel sorry for the devs because this game feels like a crushed dream.

A deck building game where your opponents play dirty, and you're expected to play even dirtier.

If you're looking for a sign to buy the game, this is it! Stop reading the reviews and play it blind.
The less you know, the better.

A game that stands up to the Hype.

Card games can be iffy and broken, this one isn't.
Cool fun new mechanics that work well with the theme of the game while standing upon tried and tested mechanics other card games have thrived upon for years.

A fresh breath of cards and environments.
Love that it feels like 5 games in one and the elements around the core gameplay stay the same while adding and changing the environments that the world and game is set in.

A 10/10 fun story with secrets, puzzles and an interesting ending that may keep you guessing as to when it will happen.

I cannot express how much I love this game. It instantly became one of my favourites. Everything about it, the gameplay, the aesthetics, the characters, the dialogues the genre diversity, the lore, the presentation is just so incredibly unique and well done, that it is one of if not the best video games of this decade. I cannot name anything like it. Once I finished it, it's been stuck in my mind. Still it is not for everyone but if you are actually seem to be interested in it you should without a doubt try it.

A card game good enough that even I, someone who vehemently opposes playing any card game that isn't poker, thoroughly enjoy it.

Try it.

Good deckbuilding game with a nice story-telling, should try.

Overall, a really great experience. Try to go in as uninformed as possible, it's worth it.

Surprisingly good game. Proof you do not need top of the line graphics to create a fantastic game in the modern day.

Amazing game with a surprisingly deep and mysterious story. Highly reccomended to anyone but especially those with a passion for roguelite and deckbuilding games.

This game is an incredible work of art. I wouldn't change a thing. It is very fun to watch someone play it too.

It was a wild ride for me. So bored of games trying to be everything to everyone. This was a fabulous game that I could sit in for as long or short as I liked, it had a couple of change ups, it was unexpected. I've not really enjoyed the deck building genre, not my cup of tea, but this was a nice taste of something unique I thougt.

No matter what you think you know about this game it is not that. Words cannot describe it. I'm not a "scary" game fan and I would't call this that but rather art. Highly recommended.

just buy it and play it. you wont regret it. its one of those games where the less you know going into it, the better the experience is. Just play it. dont watch anything on youtube, dont look anything up on reddit. dont even watch the trailer. just buy it. one of the best singleplayer games ever

Inscryption? More like Prescryption cuz I need some antipsychotics after playing this

this game doesnt get old or boring that fast, has many new gamemodes which you can play after finishing it, can be played again and again so im saying its worth it

Extremely interesting game, I hope developers pick up on the idea of changing the gameplay throughout the game.

What can I say... At first it feels like a fun rogue-like card game. But OMG IT'S SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT!
I don't even want to say much. This is an experience. An experience made better by going blind. All I'll say is, yes, this IS a card game, but it all changes once you can stand up from the table...the card game isn't the whole game. The surprises, the twists, the mechanics they keep throwing at you... This game is truly special, and it'll stick with me forever. Even the ending sequence made me emotional.
If you love videogame, if you KNOW that videogames are an artform like no other, then play this.

You HAVE to play Inscryption.

Great game! i played it from start to very end and it was perfect! Good idea of trategy game, big story, not hard not eazy gameplay, nice characters and most perfect thing about it: fantastic visualization!
i do recommend this game (even if it cost 20€)
i even make my own type of inscription in real life.
anyway thank you creator and thanks to thesse people who help with developing the game!

very fun deck building game game play is very fun and you can play many different ways, the graphics have a unique style and are really well done 9.5/10
