Daniel Mullins is, no questions asked, my favorite game developer in the industry. This is his absolute best work, and one of my all-time favorite games. Inscryption, on top of being a deckbuilder that revels in letting the player break it in a billion different fun ways, houses some of the most clever meta subversions of storytelling I've seen, while oozing through the seams with dank atmosphere.

This, of course, is not where the game ends. The people aren't lying, you should play this game for yourself spoiler-free. Believe me, there is so much waiting for you beneath the surface.
