Taking to Reddit, they relayed their love for 2021’s Inscryption, a game they had never heard before and a game they called both a “delight” and an “unexpected surprise.” In fact, if you’ve played and enjoyed Slay the Spire, they recommend this game as a “must play.”ย
“Inscryption is a delight,” reads the post. “This game was an unexpected surprise. I stumbled upon it while browsing the PlayStation plus game catalog.

“From the creator of Pony Island and The Hex comes the latest mind melting, self-destructing love letter to video games,” reads an official blurb about the game. “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…”
