Clever and continuously inventive, but I don't imagine anything in it will stick with me deep enough for me to consider it GOTY material. I'm kind of over this type of meta copypasta glitch horror, and considering this isn't even Daniel Mullins' first time at the "haunted game" well it's a bit of diminishing returns on that front. Mostly struck me as superficially clever rather than brilliant. And the backstory outlined in the ARG is actively stupid and designed to make the most annoying gamers on the internet lose their shit (if there's not already a Game Theorists video about Inscryption there almost certainly will be soon). But it's good enough that it managed to hook me, someone who actively dislikes deckbuilding games, which has to count for something.
