bait and switch game

[mud.]

first part in the cabin is fantastic, then the game does a 180 with boring creepypasta retro gaming ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and is just boring, they should've atleast said something in the store page, I feel scammed

....di-did you watch the trailers? The card game was always going to take a backseat to the escape room/bigger mystery thing.

none of the trailers show footage of what the game becomes

All trailers on steam do in-fact show the camera footage and bits of act 2. Just watched them to double check. Besides I really don’t get how it’s a bait and switch even if you expected only a card game. You can stay in act 1 as long as you want. Act 2 just adds deck building as opposed to pure rougelike and act 3 is more similar to act 1 than 2. I don’t get the complaint. If you wanted a card game that’s decently difficult and requires making some tough decisions about how you build with what you are given, act 2 still has all of that. Do you just not like the art style?

Also you don’t have to watch any of the camera footage ever outside of the one the game starts with.

I have no interesting in this retro gaming ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I bought the game for the interesting atmosphere and gameplay shown in the demo, not because I was nostalgic for pixel art

Ah so your just disappointed that the game is 2d. Act 3 is 3D try to hang on if you can. Or just quit now because the indie game doesn’t have state of the art graphics. I really don’t care which.

is act 3 a roguelike?

The developer of Inscryption became well known because of games like Pony Island, which subverted expectations and showed the player something new. I guess it's not for everyone, I welcome it this game is probably their best work.

Uhm... the game is retro all the way. The retro-ness doesn't just come in later, it's was there right from the beginning.

Personally I'm rather more inclined to buy it now that I know there's a part to it that is actually good-looking. This early 3D style still looks as ugly as it did 25 years ago.

Act 3 is very much not a rogeulike

Act 2 is just more of the same but worse. I was expecting something surreal based upon the peoples' complaints but to me it's just more cards with a different aesthetic.

shift + K + M unlock infinite mode

Sorry that you feel scammed by the 3rd game in a series of games that plays the same narrative role of being more than what's on the surface. I suppose you won't be interested in Pony Island or The Hex, nor the 4th game that Daniel is developing.

play the other game mode. kaycees mod is just the first part of the game with bunch of add ons and cool new stuff, adds some difficulty spikes too
