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.

Stage One: Regular Dread Stage Two: Confusion Stage Three: Existential Dread Stage Kaycee's Mod: Weirdly comforting and fun 10/10 highly recommend. No but actually, it's an excellent game that you should really go into blind. The pacing in some parts is slow, especially if you're not a big fan of the new mechanics introduced after the first act, but it's a pretty short experience, exceptionally well-done, and the challenge mode you get at the end is everything I ever wanted when I was playing the story, so I can't not recommend it to people. I'm honestly amazed by the sheer artistry that went into this. It's like fine art or something, you know? A painting so big and beautiful it just makes you wonder at how much went into making it, how many years of training and hours of portraiture. It's like that. Don't spoil it for yourself, trust the process, and pity the squirrels. Worth it without a sale.

This is an amazing card game, very fun and addictive. There are a lot of strategy and RNG elements in deck building and it takes a while to understand varies game mechanisms. As RNG might not always work in your favour, to understand the game's save system and limited save scumming is important for the success runs, especially in the last chapter. The story line is a bit unique and unexpected. First run takes about 35 hours for all contents. Achievements in the game are well designed. Some of them are quite challenging. While the game runs perfectly on steam deck, there's one achievement that is much easier to get on PC instead. Unfortunately there're some issues for cloud saves transfer between steam deck default version and PC version. The solution is to use an earlier version of proton (proton 7. something) while playing on steam deck, for saving on the same cloud save slot as PC version.

Perhaps the only game where you fight the final boss to fight the final boss to fight the final boss to fight the final boss to fight the final boss to fight the final boss to fight the final boss to fight the final boss to fight the final boss to beat the final boss? I beat him once. He locked me in a room until I beat the final boss.
