The Stoat tells you that there are actually a few more other cards like them who are alive in there, and that you’ll need to find them to hope to make it out alive. Or telling you when you did a bad move when using them. You will discover that in your deck there is the “Stoat” card… a card that happens to be alive! The stoat talks a lot, telling you about what’s happening here and giving you hints about what to do next. Your host gives you a first few cards to get started. The host follows the rules – he will not kill you by cheating or for no reason, so there’s always that comfort that as long as you do OK, you may be able to make it! That’s all you can do in the end and hope to win to escape this strange place. Soon enough your host will call you back to the table to continue playing the game. The book tells you more about what the sigils actually mean Strangely, some parts of the book are redacted (with black ink over them) so that you can’t read it all. Some other are secret boxes that require some kind of key or object to reveal their treasures… There’s also this old book telling you more the symbols found on the cards, giving you some hints on the modifiers that some cards possess. This furniture contains a puzzle… and probably some treasures! Some devices are hidden puzzles that release new cards that you can insert in your deck. You are actually stuck, prisoner in a small room decorated with all kind of devices and strange symbols. You only move from one square to another like Dungeon Master or Eye of Beholder of old. Moving around is still in first-person view, but not with a free mouse-driven look. But where does this all take place? You can actually leave the board anytime in between games and look around. If you lose, they will kill you – and then you will start again as a new player coming in. A Dark room with a mysterious opponent keeping their eyes on you You start in a kind of dark room, with an unknown host (you can only see their eyes in the dark) asking you to play with them a board game. You have to “continue game” in order to start, while you have never saved anything up until now. The first screen of the game shows a few typical options, and “new game” is greyed out. You first need to understand the context. Sometimes the card battles are over in just 30 seconds. When you face your opponent, everything will be decided within a few minutes. There’s a lot more to it, and the card battles themselves also feel extremely different from what you may be used to. Inscryption is NOT yet another card game. That was enough to convince me to try it out! The fact that it has recently received a Linux client was also a good sign. Yet another card game? Well, Inscryption certainly did look at the very least original when I first checked out the trailer a few months back.
