Inscryption is the type of art that showcases what is so special about the medium of video games. The magic of this experience could only have existed as a video game and nothing else, and that is part of what makes it so special. I went in blind and was absolutely hooked. I initially believed that the first act was the whole game, and was surprised to learn that there was so much more to the experience after I thought I had "beaten the game". The second and third acts are fantastic, although it they can't quite live up to the magic of the first act. I can't say I've ever played a video game like this and I don't know that I ever will again, and even just knowing that makes the experience of having played this game a truly special one.
