Mechanically Inscryption is a fun deck builder (even as someone who doesn't like deck building games!). But if you're reading this review on this website then you're at least vaguely aware that this game does Things. I like the story it's telling, but it wasn't super impactful. There are two big challenges with the story the game is trying to tell.

1) I got the game off of steam and it's pretty well regarded - I know it's not some random piece of shareware.
2) This game came out after Undertale and I have no idea how you tell a meta video game story in a post Undertale-world. I'd like to see something more ambitious and weird if you're going to go down that route.

All that being said, Inscryption at the very least is entertaining and doesn't overstay its welcome.
