Inscryption released on PC on October 19, 2021. Published by Devolver Digital, the game initially gives players a deck-building, roguelike experience, where they must collect useful cards in order to progress through the game. However, unlike other similar titles like Slay the Spire, Inscryption changes the nature of its deck-building with each of its three acts, slowly altering how the game is played as it combines its roguelike elements with escape room mechanics. Inscryption proved to be an incredibly popular game when it first launched, taking the community by storm and landing on many lists for the best indie games of 2021.
