Press release:
Offbeat indie developer Daniel Mullins (Pony Island, The Hex) and creepy indie publisher Devolver Digital (Stories Untold, Loop Hero) have revealed that abominable deck-building roguelike “INSCRYPTION” will show its hand on October 19th (2021) for PC (via Steam).

The cursed card game has opened pre-orders and seeks to hook anxious prospectors with a mischievous teaser demo of what lies in wait from today.

INSCRYPTION is a dark and disturbing card-based odyssey that blends the deckbuilding roguelike, escape-room style puzzles, and psychological horror into a blood-laced smoothie. Trapped at the mercy of a sadistic stranger known only as Leshy, acquire a deck of woodland creature cards by draft, surgery, and self-mutilation, as you seek to unlock the secrets lurking behind his cabin walls.

Darker still are the secrets inscrybed upon the cards…
