    Has a neat atmosphere but the actual game is ass. You might find it enjoyable if you love boss fights that are incredibly one sided and requires more luck than knowledge though. I sure as hell don't find that funny though. Playing squirrels all day for them to die over and over so you can actually play one if your cards...no idea who thought that was fun. Play a better card game than this.

    The first act of the game is great fun, as you slowly solve the mystery of the cabin and build you deck. loved every second of it. however, the second act went out of its way to ruin everything that made me love the first act. The art style is different, the horror elements are all gone, theres no draw control over your hand, and the boss fights are just stupidly unfun.

    Bought it twice now on both PC and console, both times it was a blast. It can be a little confusing right in the middle but that's by design.

    Inscrpytion did the impossible, it made me want to buy a booster pack of a card game. Not even a particular card game, but just any so I could relive the feeling of buying them as a kid and seeing what I’d get. Maybe I’ll even boot up a run of Rogue Legacy, since it’s been a few years. Or, I could just play more Inscryption. I could continue to theory craft about my newly discovered Mullinsverse, fascinated by the ways Inscryption begs players to dissect it down to the pixel. This game was made with an infectious love of card games, rogue-lite games, and just games in general. I have to say, I’ve caught the bug.

    Terrifying and enigmatic, Incryption is an unparalleled experience that proves that you don't need miles of exploration or complicated dynamics to fascinate, horrify, and simultaneously teach you how much fun card games can be, especially when you add a few dungeons to them.

    Turn off the lights and go into your play of Inscryption knowing you will experience a narrative like no other. The gameplay is well done, but the story that lies under it is perfect. If you are a horror fan, do not skip this one.
