color me surprised that an ultra-twisty-indie-roguelike -- a description that makes my eyes roll like no other -- has rapidly become one of my favorite games

while the creepypasta-esque narrative does call for some suspension of disbelief, it works in tandem with the gameplay so flawlessly, and the mysteries beneath it all are captivating enough that you'll likely find yourself caring more about the story by virtue of how much fun everything surrounding it is

don't sleep on this one. even if you hate the narrative concept everything else about inscryption more than justifies the $20 price
