Alex and Luke talk Inscryption.

Inscryption is a psychological horror, rouguelike deck-building game that has been praised for its unique blend of genres and captivating storytelling. Developed by Daniel Mullins Games and published by Devolver Digital, the game takes players on a dark and twisted journey through a mysterious forest. Along the way, players must gather cards, build a deck, and use their strategic skills to battle against a variety of terrifying creatures.

What sets Inscryption apart from other deck-building games is its innovative gameplay mechanics, which incorporate elements of puzzle-solving, exploration, and even escape room-style challenges. Each card in the game has its own unique abilities, and players must use these cards to overcome obstacles, defeat enemies, and uncover the secrets of the forest. With a gripping storyline and unexpected twists and turns, Inscryption is a must-play for fans of horror, puzzle, and deck-building games alike.
