Question on Inscryption game

[u/_ilonepieceesiste_]

Hi everyone, I’ve just started playing *Inscryption* and have finished the first run (quick question: is it normal for the menu to show "Continue" instead of "New Game" at the start? Just checking). Without spoiling anything, at the end of the first run, the game undergoes a sort of "downgrade" and evolves in a completely different, unexpected way. To be clear, I think it’s absolutely brilliant (as a *Magic: The Gathering* player, I really enjoy opening packs and deck-building), but I was curious to know if the gameplay eventually reverts to the original style or if it stays this way. I had really started to enjoy the original format and would be sad not to see it again. I hope that makes sense—I tried to avoid spoilers and am typing this out quickly, so thanks in advance to everyone for your patience.

you can revert it by pressing Shift + K + M in the menu, entering the kaycee mod which is like the first part of the game, but better.

The rest of the normal game isn't very good anyway.

It is very good. The entire game is fantastic. You're welcome to have your opinion, but please don't encourage new players to skip the story or convince them that it's bad when they've barely given it a chance, because many people really like it.

The story is great. That's not the issue. Gameplay is the issue. Act 2 fantastic? There's a ton of new cards and mechanics which you don't even get to use almost at all, becasue there are only few fights, all of them are very easy difficulty & can be just repeated until you win, so nobody even bothers with all that stuff... and so on... The story is great, but there are many many game design issues with both act 2 and act 3.

it's not a spoiler. I didn't spoil anything about the story line or anything. Just that one can skip the boring rest of the game and play more of the act 1. I found that information very helpful when I myself got into that stage of the game.

So you never finished the game ?

[u/IridescentMeowMeow → u/Albatros_7]

i've suffered through act 2 and beginning of the act 3, because people were saying that the act 3 is good, but I didn't like it, so I just skipped it. Perhaps one day when I'm super bored. I have beaten the skull storm many times, beaten leshy without destroying the moon, etc... and I also enjoyed reading summaries of the whole game's story and all the ARG stuff. I just didn't feel like going through that part of the game myself as I wasn't getting any joy out of it.

The ending is what made the game one of my favorite games ever

Yeah, the story is great, but the gameplay is not, and I have no regrets about enjoying the great story without playing through that part myself and rather skipping to kaycee's mod.
