Inscryption

Inscryption is an inky black card-based odyssey that blends the deckbuilding roguelike, escape-room style puzzles, and psychological horror into a blood-laced smoothie. Darker still are the secrets inscrybed upon the cards...

“META elements and card synergies are excellent” (30)
你的META元素很不错，但是第一三章每关基本固定的随机抽牌顺序又很好的弥补了这一点😅很多时候明明有些数值高的牌死活熬不到抽出来的时候，前面一堆烂牌堆着，不想输SL老半天也很难能赢，道具到用时方恨少，遇到这种情况又得重开整条线，红温了...还是第二章没有失败惩罚玩的舒服，本体通了之后想做全成就还要玩凯茜模组挑战真有点坐牢了😭😭😭

“narrative breaks fourth wall brilliantly, player agency in game's fate deeply meaningful” (100)
36小时，全成就达成，这一刻，我等待了太久 上学的时候被弗兰力种草，但那个时候没有闲钱，买的离线版本，没有成就，没有时长，只有自己的热爱 今年我终于如愿以偿，以正规军的身份补了票，踏入了这个我早就已经熟悉却无比陌生的世界 重回木屋，一切都是老样子，我知道松鼠是万能的祭品，我知道弱狼的关键，我甚至知道对话的每一个选项会指向何方，邪恶冥刻最绝妙的地方就是，它知道你“知道” 从三维到二维，再从像素到未来，P03的机械臂打破第三面墙格式化整个游戏，在最后的数据风暴中，我们不止是在“玩”一个游戏，而是在参与它的构建，甚至决定它的存亡 但这里总有太多的遗憾，得坏血病的船长最后一招是永别，格里魔拉的温柔总是直抒胸臆，莱西是陪伴时间最久的老朋友，白鼬卡牌不再会说话，一切熟悉的场景都在崩塌，“让我和蔓尼菲科握一下手吧”，成了我心中唯一的，也是最柔软的执念 那不是只想与一个游戏角色告别，更是想亲手触碰那段，由木屋、卡牌和无数次失败构成的旧日时光。我亲手见证了它的开始，也应由我亲自参与它的终局。这场由离线到正规军的完整通关，本身就是一次最有力，最完美的握手，我握住了故事的开端与结尾，也握住了曾经和现在的自己 当一切归于寂静，我并未失去那个世界，因为我早已将那份热爱正式地，完整地，存档于我的真实人生中
