Has anyone checked out Inscryption yet?  From the team behind Hotline Miami and Sam and Max, it is a creepy (but more funny than actually scary) indescribable genre mixture—mostly Slay the Spire but with a lot of original ideas and then changes gears into “Her story” and then changes gears into *spoilers*

Come for the deckbuilding but stay for the puzzles, which apparently get really meta, and go outside the game (the discord is finding some wild stuff—which also fits the game plot)

Yes. I'd love to discuss it more, but (this is a good thing) nobody wants to accidentally spoil anything. Lots of cool hidden stuff in the game.

Spoilers, but I'm trying to be vague:
Act 1 end stuff:

I managed to accidentally fight the last big enemy of the last Act 1 boss with the weak point. The card was already on the board, and I didn't know how effective it would be. The boss even commented that it's the most effective sigil in that fight. Hilarious and quick.

Me currently:

I'm currently near the end of Act 3, but either just barely win, or can't win at all. After most fights, exploring any more gets me a checkpoint which means I can't get the old enemies to respawn. So I need to find a place where I can win a single fight (hopefully well, to make lots of money), then easily get back to fight there again.

Really cool game, finished it the other day. While not really challenging it has a ton of surprises, so i really cant say anymore.

Third boss's music is pretty wild. Might be the first time I've encountered a game that straight up used the sounds of skinning something as part of its OST.

Spoiler: spoilers thru ch. 3 (click to show/hide)

I am really disliking Chapter 3. I would have gladly spent more time with chapters 1 and 2 but the balance in some places left something to be desired.

The energy mechanic is just really dumb and unpolished in my opinion. I thought that the mox mechanic wasn't as well thought through, either (difficult to run a pure mox deck, difficult to run mox at all tbh), but combining it with the blood/bone mechanics made it less of an obvious problem than the later energy-only section.

[Iduno]

Agreed, Vector. Although putting batteries on a few of your creatures helps. +1 energy that turn, and it increases the amount you get from then on.

And going down to the mage tower to put the gem-related power on some of your favorites (like the Ourboros if you got it) reduces the cost by one.
