It has outpaced some of the year’s heaviest hitters including Resident Evil Requiem, Mewgenics, and Marathon.

      Yeah the vibes with Inscryption were just…like it was a card game but I felt legitimately unnerved. The music and the sound effects made me viscerally uncomfortable, and then the way Leshy watched you when you walked around the cabin was creepy as shit.

      It kind of opened my eyes to card games in general and (not that I didn’t already know this from games like Disco Elysium, Subnautica, Soma, Outer Wilds, etc.) The fact that smaller budget titles often time were significantly more worthwhile than AAA stuff.

        Exactly. I was never into card games until I played Inscryption. It just clicked so well. I made it through the story and now about every month or so I will boot up Kaycee’s Mod to do a few playthroughs!

        I would’ve never played Balatro if it wasn’t for Inscryption. :)
