Hi, I’m Daniel, the creator of Inscryption, and I’m so excited to finally bring the game to PlayStation players! To celebrate the announcement, I wanted to highlight some of the exciting content that awaits you in Inscryption and the new PlayStation-specific features I’ve added just for you.
For those of you who may not be familiar, Inscryption is a black card-based adventure game, part deck-building roguelike, part escape room puzzle and part psychological horror. As video game genres evolve, it’s a pretty powerful concoction. What begins as a demonic deck builder will soon become something entirely different, but I’ll leave you to discover its darkest secrets for yourself.
The original game sees you trapped at the mercy of a sadistic stranger known only as Leshy, who appears only as a pair of glowing eyes staring at you from the darkest recess in the world. his cabin. With no memory of how you ended up there, Leshy gives you the chance to play your way out of his clutches with a unique deck of cards.
As you learn and adapt to Leshy’s ever-changing rules, you’ll expand your jungle creature deck with drafts, surgery, and self-mutilation. Sacrifice creatures like squirrels and rabbits to play larger and more menacing creatures like the mighty Grizzly or rare mythological cards like the Mantis. Between games, you can move around the cabin, gradually solving a series of puzzles that grant you power at the card table and possibly unlocking deeper secrets.
But what about those exclusive features that I mentioned earlier? Well, to start your loyal companion, a talking Stoat card, will play its sound out of your controller as if it were actually in your hand! Second, the atmospheric lighting in the game spills out from your controller, so if you’re playing in the dark you’ll be one step closer to feeling like you’re in Leshy’s cabin. If we add sound and light to the PlayStation experience it only makes sense to make sure that Haptic feedback enhances any creepy action… why not use pliers and find out?
Thank you so much for taking the time to learn more about Inscryption! I can’t wait for you to finally play the game on PlayStation and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! That said, Devolver Digital is not responsible for any curses raised.
