Inscryption Reviews
Inscryption cannot be described. You must play the game in order to figure out what Inscryption really is, words are meaningless and useless in front of certain operas.

The deal offered by Inscryption is like a two-faced coin: on one side we have a disturbing plot, told through an intricate narrative full of mystery, while on the other side we have a deep, elaborate and fun card game.

Unnerving, compelling, and unpredictable, it’s excellent every step of the way.
In an industry that operates so heavily under tradition and expectations, games like Inscryption come along and shake you awake, reminding you where games can go and what they can be.
[T]he less you know, the better the experience. Highly recommended.
Daniel Mullins' new work manages to give a terrifying twist to the roguelite genre. Inscryption is a must-have title for horror lovers, as well as creating a distressing atmosphere and a great narrative experience through its card games.

Inscryption reminds me that games are capable of so much more than we often give them credit for. Daniel Mullins manages to weave a completely surreal and meta-focused narrative into a genre-bending game and successfully create an experimental work of art.
Inscryption is an outstanding horror game that will keep you glued to your seat for your entire playthrough. The combination of horror and deck-building is perfectly utilised, making Inscryption the ideal game to play this spooky season.
Inscryption goes far beyond what it initially appears to be. The unusual combination of deckbuilder, roguelike and escape room becomes one of the most interesting experiences I've ever had. Despite the unbalanced disputes, the ritual theme and the intimidating setting are extremely competent, making us afraid to explore and proceed. The post-game is mind blowing, totally breaking expectations and raising the game even more.

Inscryption may not reinvent the card gaming genre, but it is filled to the brim with great ideas and the usual twists of a David Mullins game. If you enjoy a spooky atmosphere as well as deckbuilding definitely check this out!

Inscryption is a fantastic card game, but the genre itself becomes its weakest point. If it kept tensions till its end, it would be much more thrilling work.

Inscryption boasts solid deck-builder-style gameplay supported by excellent writing, sound design, and overall atmosphere. While some puzzles were too easy, and the puzzle-like nature of the deckbuilding itself hurts replayability, it's still easy to recommend Inscryption to anyone who finds its aesthetics and tone appealing.
Though uneven in its middle section, Inscryption is a clever and refreshing horror-adventure card game.
Inscryption is an amazingly well-put-together piece of work. The atmosphere presented…well, I’ve already doted on it multiple times. And I’ll do so again: it’s unsettling, occasionally oppressive, and always keeps the player on their toes. It could easily carry the work on its own, but luckily the card game mechanics are solid and sound as well. It’s easy to pick up, but with a ton of variables to allow customization and multiple viable approaches to the challenges provided.
Everything Inscryption does culminates into a gruesome and harrowing tale told through a simple but rewarding card game. Creator Daniel Mullins had a clear and concise concept for this game executed on the highest level.
Inscryption is an utterly demented piece of software in the best of ways. I don’t remember the last time I played a game that made me go “what the hell am I looking at” with such frequency and intensity.
Inscryption is one of the most mesmerizingly unnerving games I’ve ever played. A constant, unsettling experience that never lets up and dares you to make sense of it.
Inscryption is refreshingly unique. With all the roguelike deckbuilders popping up these days, they can all start to blend together. Inscryption manages to stand out from the crowd in all the best ways. Complex card strategies blend with escape room puzzles far better than should be possible. And the whole package is wrapped in such wonderfully creepy trappings that it’s perfect for the Halloween season. Just remember: don’t ever assume you’ve reached the end.
