"Inscryption meets Balatro, but with Blackjack" it has depth and some surprises. Im 10 hours in, not sure it lived up to its inspirations but Im really enjoying it so far. The ambience and sutble story telling is very nice. Recommend for anyone who likes rouge lite deck builders to checkout

The deck building is fun and lets you think of interesting synergies, the progression hooked me in, but what I didnt expect was how good the story and the world are, the art and writing is very rich depsit being very simple. everything from the art and card design, side quests, tell a beatiful story.

The game is worth trying for the Incredible atmosphere alone, every trailer sells this short. it has this mesmerizing liminal space retro futuristic visal style, insane graphics, incredible sound and ambience, it actually gave me goosebumps. Its also the most extreme fully diagetic game ever, it goes a way further than even dead space in immersion. The story is simple , has interesting themes ,but the delivery is very powerful. its told entirely indirectly, through environment and logs etc. The game is short only 4-5 hours, the gameplay itself is nothing remarkable, it's got like 3 puzzles which are good, but the rest is the same sort of outlast/amnesia type of loop that is just fine. The controls are a bit clunky, and it gives literally zero hints despite the unconventional mechanics, some might hate that, but it's 100% committed to immersion, You have to read everything carefully.
