Inscryption

2021 Daniel Mullins Games

Inscryption is an inky black card-based odyssey that blends the deckbuilding roguelike, escape-room style puzzles, and psychological horror into a blood-laced smoothie. Darker still are the secrets inscrybed upon the cards...

Inscryption
HORROR CENTRALITY
78 /100

Inscryption blends psychological horror into its core narrative and emotional experience, shaping how players feel and what they fear during play. However, the principal gameplay is deck-building, puzzle-solving, and progression mechanics, so horror is significant but not solely defining the core loop.
