Comment on Here's why Inscryption is a good game
bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 1 week agoDamn, I came really close the other day. Managed to live through the “the game will kill you now” event. Unfortunately I couldn’t keep up when I was at the boss.
But to progress the game you have to get up.
But when you finish the game a new mode is added allowing you to play normally with increasingly more difficult challenges you can put on yourself.

Yeah I gave it a shot. I couldn’t either, I’m not a big fan of escape room mechanics so I was really hoping I could. Thanks for trying

The important stuff is fortunately almost totally spelled out and hard to miss.

Yeah, almost to an excessive degree. To me it’s fine, it just means the designer has room to grow in terms of their skill at getting the right balance, but also it’s going to be a little bit of personal taste. This video includes some pretty interesting discussion of the balance between spelling things out, making sure that everyone can notice and enjoy them, versus making things opaque knowing that you’ll leave some people behind but making it that much more special for the people who found them “all by themselves” without any kind of prompting.
