One of my favourite parts of Inscryption is how you chip away and knead your deck to your liking. It’s how you face these challenges and how you use all these moving parts together that will garner your success or probable defeat. It is up to you and it is completely random every time.
#Inscryption stuck in black room upgrade
Upgrade a card, combine two cards, take on a challenge or battle the weirdo in the hut. Shhh, spoilers.Īs you progress through each run, in a Slay The Spire-style manner, you navigate nodes on a map that offer you significant choices. One of the tools you can use lets you stab yourself in the eye, which nearly guarantees victory but also leads you down other gaming rabbit holes. You create cards, upgrade cards and have a myriad of variable tools at your disposal. Especially when you layer on the deck-building and rogue-lite elements that feed it. It’s a basic combat system but it has strategic and tactical depth. If you have played anything like Magic: The Gathering, Hearthstone or any other recent card battler, you will slip straight into Inscryption’s silky mechanics. All this stuff usually is absent from this genre of gaming and it was a breath of fresh air. This great game surprised me regularly with gameplay, puzzle and narrative twists. I loved uncovering its secrets and I adored finding new cards to try.

Its graphics, music, and what you do outside the card battling stuff is bizarre, weird and all-encompassing. So, from a very simplistic view, Inscryption is a card battler come roguelite. This cabin is full of puzzles and secrets that slowly surface as you play. At any time though, between battles, you can get up and walk around the cabin. For the most part, you are stuck in a cabin playing cards against a weirdo. There’s meta-game upon meta-game here, chock full of surprises and mind-blowing weirdness.
