Inscryption

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!

insanely dank and also quite fun. A little confusing in the middle; you'll have to figure out some puzzles, but the game and especially the story behind it are both very good

I had a fantastic time playing this game. I became so emotionally invested in the characters and fond of the gameplay that I have just played through it a second time, and I can see myself doing it again. Good replayability, too, if you enjoy card games, which I very much do.

I already knew the game’s story, but I bought it and completed it anyway because the game itself has a lot of replayability. Not to mention the Kaycee’s mod (it’s official and included in the game, no need to download anything), which brings new cards, new unlockables, and even greater difficulty than Leshy’s cabin already had.

If I had to point out something missing in this game, it would be a longer main story. After Act 3, Act 4 only serves as a conclusion, but if they had tweaked some things in the storyline, we could have even had Act 5, playing against the remaining patrons. I’d also love to see a continuation of Kaycee’s mod, as it can only be played in Act 1.

Still, you can get a solid 30-50 hours out of this game. If you enjoy roguelites or just a good story, that alone is reason enough to play this masterpiece.

card game but im actually stupid and keep forgetting basic mechanics

pretty cool

Dripping with charm, fun to play and full of surprises. A Unique experience

Inscyption is a very well made Game. The Story and the lore from the ARG is extremly cool. Never expected this from a "Card Game". First its a Card Game but in the end its a very complex story with a lot of twists.
Its totaly worth the Money.

Definitely worth the buy, not a super long game but I got on sale. I can't say much without spoiling it but it's a real trip lol.

I am quite honestly in love with Inscription. Oh how I wish there were more games just like it, but until then I have Casey's Mod that I'm getting through incredibly slowly because I want to savor every second of this game. I don't want it to end, just to keep on going forever.

it is very difficult, the puzzles are intriguing, the bosses are dope, and the talking cards are super funny the stoat was an asshole though

An incredibly well made card game. Peak storyline, good graphics, and fun boss fights. Very creative game. When i first played this on my Playstation, i was immediately hooked. Great game. 10/10. I 100% recommend that anyone reading this review right now should play it. It's worth the money.

Ambiance, gameplay, sound design, music, story are all so amazing with this game. Genuinely one of the best games I've ever played. Perhaps a little shorter than some 20 dollar games I've seen, but still EASILY worth it. At the 8 dollar price it's at right now there shouldn't even be hesitation, tbh.

Inscryption could simply be described as a dark card game with roguelike, deck-building, and puzzle mechanics to complement the gameplay. But in reality, Inscryption is way more than that. It has a whole dark, eerie journey that takes the player through a series of layers that mask the true nature of the Inscryption itself.
At first glance, the card game isn’t complex, but mastering it is deeply rewarding, and some tactics are even somewhat exploitable when you get all the mechanics as a whole.
The game's atmosphere is one of its biggest draws, starting with a heavy and claustrophobic sense inside the cabin, and evolving with subtle visual changes that mark the story’s unsettling progression.
Then there’s the storytelling, the true centerpiece of this experience. The main plot weaves in unexpected elements that blur the line between the game the reality. Without spoiling too much, let’s just say that Inscryption knows it’s a game—and it uses that knowledge to great effect.
In the vast world of deck-builders and roguelikes, Inscryption tries to be different, and greatly success in doing so, being a special rare case inside this industry.




Just don’t mess with the OLD_DATA.

This is an amazing game with a gripping story hidden behind an awful roguelite.

I finished this over the course of less than a week, starting with my first experience live on stream, where I absolutely hated the gameplay loop, and figured I would give up before long.

It got its hooks in me despite finding it extremely frustrating, and I suspected there was more to it. Once I got the hang of it and realized a really cheap way to circumvent the more frustrating parts, I finally got to the really interesting part of the game.

Then I blitzed through the rest of it over the course of two several-hours-long sessions, and yeah. It's really good.

If you're curious, you can Alt+F4 when you lose, and try again endlessly that way. It'll even preserve the seed of that stage so you know what to expect. I know it's lame, but you still have to make the right decisions to win. Quite frankly, I would've been extremely frustrated if I found out that I got gated out of the parts of the game I absolutely adored and thrived in just because of RNG hell.

I love this game! It functions as an escape room-style game with an in-universe trading card game. (TCG)
The card game follows the play-style of many popular TCGs, particularly those of MTG and Yu-Gi-Oh.
The story is quite intriguing and I enjoyed learning about it.
A feature that I particularly enjoy about this game are the numerous puzzles and special actions you can make outside of the playing of the card game, some of which result in features being added to the TCG, for example, going around Leshy's cabin in Act 1 and unlocking various cards and items.
Discovering secrets, easter eggs, and exploits is equal parts challenging and rewarding, adding to the satisfaction of finding them.
10/10, highly recommend, especially to fans of TCG-style play, escape-room mechanics, and puzzle games.

good game. hours played is accurate. Kaycee's mod is fire.

Wildly creative, wonderfully designed, captivating. Still think about it years after playing through it the first time. Huge recommend, don't look it up on youtube or anything, just take the plunge.

Очень крутая игра. Хоть начала мне понравилось больше чем то, что было когда я начал новую игру, но все же игра была занятной. Очень грустно под конец игры прощаться с каждым из моих соперников. ВСЕМ СОВЕТУЮ СЫГРАТЬ В НЕЕ

Solid presentation, interesting mechanics, and more varied gameplay than I expected! Definitely worth the purchase.

Taken by itself, a moderately interesting meta game with some fun card mechanics, but too repetitious for my taste. If you want the full story though you better have an advanced cryptography degree.

so sigma, this game makes me feel not like a bata, but like a ohio rizz king. Best online dating sim i have ever played.

Incredible game. Has some gimmicks I have never seen games do. Do not look anything up about the game, Just play it. You can finish it in like 10-20 hours

This has to be one of the best games I have ever played in terms of not expecting what comes next. The story is one of the most interesting things I've seen done in a video game in a long time. There's so many things this game has to offer and you'll never be able to guess what comes next.

Awesome storytelling through a very interesting game card mechanics. This game is full of surprises, changes of pace and great histories. The most original game I have player in a very long time, highly recommended.

inscryption is a card based roguelike turned into an arg, an adventure, with lore to find, and scares to be had (not really). it doesn't exactly deserve its horror title that much as it is more of a horrory vibe than a normal horror game, it has few to no jumpscares but its still quite creepy. the atmosphere is most of the "horror" part of this game. now lets not talk about what it doesn't have, lets talk about what it does have. inscryption, spelt like crypt, is a game about luke, not you. luke. luke carder also known as the lucky carder. its a story about a youtuber finding a game in the woods and playing it til he gets inevidably put down, what i mean by that is for you to figure out. with 3 acts and lots of gameplay this game is deserving of its game of the year title. its one of the best if not the best card game ever made, mostly story based and needs alot of figuring out. its a bit frustrating as the puzzles can be hard to solve without a guide around, which is why i always help my friends play this game by watching their every move, just like your dungeon master in the game. many eyes. many cards. many lore. 9,5/10

This is a Perfect Game, there are no faults it is perfect, its not my favourite game but its up there and it is absolutely perfect.

Super cool concept and execution. Puzzles and story kept me engaged and invested on top of the great card and deck building gameplay.

Inscryption is among the horror greats for me. There are gameplay elements I might criticize, however they make sense in the context of the narrative. In a way, in some places, some of the fun is sacrificed for the sake of the narrative, (though there's still plenty of fun to be had along the way), but I think those risks ultimately pay off when you see the big picture.

My biggest problem is by the end I really wanted the card game portion to be expanded on and keep going even further than it did. Coming back to this after a while to find Kaycee's mod was quite a treat in that regard.

Thanks for the fantastic game. *Shakes hand*

Great game! Lots of mystery. One of those "just one more round" games with good lore and story elements.

This game is so much better than what you think it is.
There's lore to it and its so much more than a tabletop card game.
I like that they added Kaycee's mod because I'm not a fan of the pixelated part of the game and enjoy the first part the most. Kaycee's mod gives you that replay value and adds new mechanics to the game which is really nice.

BEST. CARD. GAME. EVER. I first knew about this game from Markiplier, but didn't watch his full playthrough to avoid spoilers. When I started playing, I found out the tiny secrets that Act 1 had, and was genuinely surprised with Act 2. After encountering and defeating all the scrybes, the sudden shift back to 3D caught me off guard! To be honest, the best part of the game is the finale. I was tearing up as Leshy played the game with me for one last time. The death of Luke Carder was really unexpected; I plan to solve the ARG on my own without any guidance. In conclusion, this amalgam of game genres mixes really well together, and I definitely will recommend Inscryption to other players.

Amazing game but worse than cocaine!! :)

This game is incredible. The storytelling is familiar Daniel Mullins genius, and there is so much more game than you're expecting in multiple different ways. Go into it knowing as little as possible. Truly something worth experiencing.

a beautiful, enriching storytelling experience. the art direction is a feast for your eyes, and the story is a hearty meal for your mind. the soundtrack is also fantastic and does a wonderful job at building a sense of dread, especially during the boss encounters. i have a bit of a bias for deck-builders, but i thought the gameplay loop was smooth and incredibly engaging. i cannot recommend this game enough.

best game played in a long time. all acts are amazing. end of the game is just sad but in a good way 10/10

Amazing game. The lore of the game goes in deep.
The game is mainly consisting out of trial and error, with each time you experience a fallback, you learn more of the game in your own unique way. I love it how the game has been made this way.
This is a gem amongst few, and personally provided an amazing experience. It's definetely worth playing if you are fond of singleplayer or story/lore-ish games.
My words are simply taken out of my mouth, I have nothing else to say.

A very enjoyable and innovative game - a rare gem in today's gaming industry

Game is really good and engaging. It contains many plottwists. One thing that in my opinion could have been done to make this game even better is to expand it's content - It left me with the feeling that i finished only HALF of what I really wanted to. I'd like to elaborate more on that, but don't want spoil you the plot.
