I thought it was just another deck-building game I'd play for hours to get all the achievements, only with a really cool, mysterious atmosphere. I can't remember the last time a game surprised me so much, so many times
What can I say ? Goobert... One of the greatest game I've played. So much in fact, that I now have a project to recreate it in real life.
The game changes so majorly after Act 1 that I completely lost interest. The setting, atmosphere, art style, mechanics, and mystery/intrigue of the cabin really hooked me, and it would've been wonderful if the game was a continuation or expansion of that. Normally I hate roguelike elements, but I was so hooked I wanted to keep going. And then it's all gone. While I can appreciate a nice meta-narrative, they tend to tow the line between being mind blowing or pretentious, and Inscryption fell into the latter. It tries to be 3 different games in one, rather than stick to anything it builds up. I'm so disappointed, this was shaping up to be one of the best games I've played in a long time.
