I implore you. If you think you might be interested in this game at all, be careful. I went in blind and that is most certainly the way to go. If you carelessly search around, watch someone play too far into the gameplay loop, or read much about it you will totally spoil what I can only call an experience that you can't get back.

With that out of the way, I'm afraid I can only say that my review must be vague and shallow for the same reasons.

Inscryption is creepy as hell, deeply stylized, dripping with atmosphere and charm, and continues to draw me in further the more I play it. Its quite a clever premise, and I suspect this 'style' might be one of the next big things that other devs attempt to copy or capture the magic of.

At its core, it certainly is a deck based card battle game with roguelike elements exactly as described on the tin. It might seem really difficult at times during the early stages but once you're familiar with the mechanics and make progress, the core gameplay loop is so very satisfying to play through. But Inscryption is so much more and that's the essence of why knowing as little as possible beyond the main points is vital to enjoy it to the fullest.

The game has already thrown quite a few surprises at me and the deeper in I go, the weirder it gets and I love that.

Its phenomenal.
