Indeed, if you like creepy games and card games just buy it without looking closer - it is an incredible experience that shouldn't be spoiled.
I've heard many glowing reviews with this same sentiment. In order to avoid most spoilers, may I ask you here - if I didn't enjoy Undertale, would I still like this? I didn't enjoy the metagaming that undertale did, making fun of the player for reloading a save. It felt dishonest. Does Inscryption also do this?
I don't think this is anything like undertale, and I didn't like it either. It doesn't make fun of you for reloading iirc
Thank you!
I'll back up June. I was "that's pretty nice" on Undertale but wasn't nearly as positive on it as its fandom was. I loved Inscryption. It's not meta like Undertale, but it does have occasional fourth wall breaks, which is part of its game-within-a-game fiction.
It's a completely different game vs undertale. It's like comparing Dota 2 to DiRT rally, haha. It's worth going in blind, and the post-game is extremely good and very replayable (and adds new content).
