“A card game that escapes its own genre.” — The Genre Escape. Scored 21/30.
Score Breakdown
The Review
Inscryption starts as a creepy cabin card game and then becomes something no one could have predicted. Daniel Mullins built a game that breaks its own rules, shifts genres multiple times, and uses ARG elements that bleed into the real world. Saying more would spoil the experience, but the less you know going in, the more your jaw will drop. It is the most surprising game of the 2020s.
Fun Fact
The game contains real-world ARG puzzles that the community solved collaboratively, involving hidden websites and encoded messages.
