Inscryption

Всегда с дедом у подъезда в карты играли, теперь вместо него Лешему погоны вешаю 10/10, а Поз вонючка

If you like watching ARGs, this game Is for you.

Inscryption Is a Roguelike card game, but just saying that doesn't do It any justice. Inscryption has a bunch of different ideas mixed together, making It a beautifully unique experience, It is a game that doesn't solely rely on gameplay. In fact, the latter half of the game I wasn't enjoying the gameplay, however, the reason I kept playing was because of It's fascinating story. It's story got me completly hooked, and the tedious gameplay was just another obstacle for me to find out what Is truly happening.
I have truly never played a game that I got so addicted on, that goes to show It's brilliance In someway or another, some people may like the gameplay better, but for me, what makes this game truly different Is It's uniqueness. It's a horror card game! And Is much more than that, If I go any further, I'd be telling spoilers. It has story, style, gameplay and replayability. What else would you want from a game? Buy It at full price and give It a good try! Inscryption Is truly a one of a kind experience, 10/10.

The worst part about this game is that i cant even recommend it to people with the caveat that they should go in blind because that spoils that there are even things to spoil about the game in the first place (I went in not even knowing it was any more than a cool roguelike with a spooky atmosphere)

I think most of the people who write reviews for this game would back me up on this. PLEASE make a full game of the first third of the game.
There is so much potential, maybe making different selectable hosts with their own boards and rules, or maybe just combining them all to make an endless Inscryption rougelike. I'm in love with the story they created and the card game they put passion into. I just want them to expand on it, could turn into the best card game ever!!

Highly recommend:

Great card game with a twist that just pulls you into intrigue. And intrigue that entices you to explore the overall narrative that expands through Dan Mulligans catalog of games to date. While not necessary to play previous games to enjoy Inscryption, the narrative beckons you.

A very interesting take on a card game that warrants respect from a design perspective. Challenging and fun, if only Leshy could figure out 5 lanes.

Play this game, and follow it as far as you are willing.

This game is definitely up there with my favorites. The strategy, the story, the gameplay, all of it is so incredible. Its challenging enough to be fun without being aggrivating. Dying in the base game doesnt even feel that bad, since you can make the death card, but still takes away enough progress to make it something you want to avoid. Upgrading your beasts to be as overpowered as possible is amazing. Even the other two acts are super amazing, but i wont say too much about them for spoiler reasons. They're fun and definitely add to the amazing story.

It's a very fun game! It's really exiting to complete all the achievements too!

play it. go in blind. i went in blind. it is the best way to play this game. just... play it. pretty much the only thing you need to know is at its basic level its a card game yes, but theres a very large storyline.

A brilliant take on a creepypasta "found an old mysterious video game" story whipped into a marvelous, emotionally captivating story that messes with your head, heart, and even your computer. Card games, puzzles, found footage, hidden secrets... there's really nothing quite like it.

A rare gem of a game that is this amazing, surreal experience whilst also having amazingly fun gameplay. 9/10

really awsome card game with sick arg elements though i wouldn't say it's for people who don't like to sink time into games since each act can last for while when you need to rebuild your deck

Daniel Mullins writes the type of insane plots Kojima and Shyamalan dream about dreaming about.
If you remotely enjoy card games or mystery-puzzlers you owe it to yourself to play this game blind and follow it up with a youtube search explaining what you just went through. You probably ought to play Pony Island and The Hex, too.

Rarely, if ever, do I leave a review on games. This game truly is a masterpiece and was extremely hard for me to put down once I started playing it. Hours would slip by without me knowing it leading to some very late nights unintentionally. The story is one of the most wild and creative I've ever played. Several of my friends talked me into playing it and they were just as hooked the second time around watching me play it. We all rated our favorite acts throughout the game and not a single one of us agreed on which part of the game was our favorite which I think speaks volumes. The deck building is fantastic and the battles are the perfect combination of brevity and head scratching. I truly wish I could erase the last two days I played this game so I could go through the story all over again.

Inscryption is a mind-bending masterpiece that defies expectations at every turn. This isn't just another card game – it's a genre-defying experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish

The core card gameplay is addictive and surprisingly deep

What truly sets Inscryption apart is its atmosphere. The creepy, retro-inspired visuals and unsettling sound design create a palpable sense of dread that permeates every aspect of the game

The story itself is a wild ride, filled with unexpected turns and meta-commentary that will keep you guessing until the very end

This is a must-play title that will stay with you long after you've finished it

I played and beat this game all the way through with family sharing, and then bought two copies (one for myself and one as a gift) because it is THAT GOOD. The environment is amazing, the gameplay is amazing, and it’s one of the first games in a long time that’s made me stay up until 4 am to beat it.

I really enjoyed this game. The atmosphere is amazing, and the gameplay is fun. The puzzles were fun and had clever solutions. I played this game to the end, and I enjoyed the twists and turns in the story.

Stayed up way to late playing this game, really well made and well thought out, even the gameplay that i did not like grew on me as they developed more mechanics.
9.5/10

I'm not a fan of card games, but this one... mega-cool, very-conceptual, and absolutely-genius!
Ingenious postmodern concept that mixes genres and games that actually unfold in other games; a very original take on the usual mechanics and entourage of card games - you haven't seen such KKIs yet; challenging but addictive gameplay that mixes different genres; signature combination of black humor and horror. 10/10

I generally dislike deck-builders, but inscryption has me HOOKED. The atmosphere is perfect. the mechanics are diverse and allow you to completely break the game in dozens of different ways, while still providing a decent level of challenge (especially postgame). The story has many twist and turns that stay with you long after the game is over.

Overall 10/10 worth your money

magnum opus from daniel mullins. great game from a mechanic standpoint, and the story is one of the best to unravel. if you like strategy games and games who's stories slowly reveal itself, it is one of the best out there at both.

Such an awesome game, with different formatting types, play styles, and plenty of lore.

The game plot is very innovative, with many unexpected surprises. Multiple perspectives, painting styles, sound atmospheres, and some interactive content break the boundary between the game and reality, making you feel like you are there.
The main plot without the Kaycee's Mod can be completed in more than ten hours. I thought that defeating the old man would end the plot, but it turned out to be just the beginning.
I personally think that the only drawback is that the card game itself is slightly less playable, that is, there are fewer changes in the mode. I feel a little bored after playing two consecutive rounds.

I was thinking about a move that would decide the outcome of the game for 10 minutes, but it turned out that these cards did not enter the field

The first part of the game is great 10/10. the 2nd part is weird and different than the first but still fun and unique 7/10. The 3rd on the other hand absolute garbage.

Inscryption is one of the best deckbuilders to come out of 2021. It is a bizarre experience that plays with the conventions of the genre while still being solid at it's core. I highly recommend for any fans of the roguelike deckbuilding genre.

haven’t finished yet cus leshy keeps beating the daylights outta me but this is the best game i’ve ever played i need to play more of these thangs thank you daniel mullins games

I do like this game, though it's really obtuse and rather infuriating. Extremely novel in design and worth it's price FOR SURE. Love the innovation and the tone.

Can't really say anything that hasn't been said a thousand times about this game, but man... it's all true. The amount of creativity and playfulness that went into the game's design is astounding. Truly an experience worth having.

I would suggest going in blind though, just know that it's a deck-builder and then just play and explore.

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
