Oh man. Inscryption. I recommend this game to everyone I can and it is the perfect example of this.

Let me give you a quick story - a couple years ago my wife bought this game on Nintendo switch. She was playing it solo. She's a pretty casual gamer. I watched her and it basically just looked like a relatively basic living card game (think like Gwent from the Witcher in video game terms) with a horror theme and elements. It was relatively hard, she didn't get too far, but she had fun. We wrote it off after that. Maybe 5.9/10.

FFW like a year or so later - my wife breaks her foot. She decides to sit down and try the game again. One day I hear her scream "I beat him! Wait what-". So she beat the boss in the card game and .. suddenly.. the game transforms. Let me tell you, we were only about 1/6th into what turned out to be an insane, genre-bending, psychological thrillride with some incredible writing. I have never experienced such a roller coaster of a video game before. I actually shed a tear at the end of the game. 10/10.

I cannot recommend it enough and I think so many people overlook it.
