Right from the off, Inscryption is just a wonderful card game. The folk-horror cabin ‘escape room’ and enigmatic card sacrificing gameplay are just impeccable vibes. [Slight spoilers ahead]: I think the reason the meta stuff that follows works is because the core card gameplay remains relatively consistent, alongside the brilliantly elusive scrybe characters that drive the story. I must admit the opening is the highlight for me, but I enjoyed the deviation into Marble Hornets / creepypasta territory, as well as uncovering PT levels of buried secrets that encourage another playthrough or two.

Kaycee's Mod really drives home how good the core gameplay is with the card game's system. I've only gotten up to Level 4 for Challenge Modifiers so far, but it's so very addictive to just do one more run to try and prevail against all the extra challenges stacked against you.

@Shenobi Exactly! And I spent so much time just figuring out different ways to make super OP cards and just exploit the game 😅
