Inscryption vs Until Dawn
Inscryption
Inscryption is turning out to be one of the biggest surprise hits of 2021, and it’s no surprise as to why. This roguelike card game blends deep deck-building elements merged with escape room puzzles and psychological horror. Paired with its rather unique and terrifying art style, it provides a gaming experience that just can’t be compared with anything else.The game is composed of three acts; one and three are card battlers, while the 2nd is a pixel-art, top-down RPG. You will be able to grow and strengthen your deck throughout your adventures. However, to get this done, you’ll need to go head-to-head against bosses and other opponents, taking part in highly-contested card battles. Don’t be intimidated by its status as a card game: it’s relatively simple to play yet has a certain depth to it.
Inscryption further impresses via its overall art direction. Every aspect, ranging from the environment to the card designs, looks like it can give even those with strong hearts the goosebumps. In addition, its story revolves around the card game and provides a feeling of both mystery and madness.
All in all, Inscryption is undoubtedly something both card game enthusiasts and those who love the thrill of horror experiences should dive into. Give it a shot and experience a card game horror story you never thought you’d ever encounter.
Until Dawn
Until Dawn is a story-rich and an intense horror-thriller game where you play as one of eight friends who are trapped in a remote mountain retreat and apparently, they are not alone. With fear gnawing at the edges of their very sanity, they will need to last the night until dawn (and salvation) arrives. Being story-driven, the game provides you with many dialogue choices to choose from, each of which has its own consequences and outcomes. Sometimes, that very outcome may mean life or death for a character. Not to mention, the game is complete with realistic graphics and an atmospheric (and perfectly creepy) music and sound effects that will keep you glued to the screen as you follow the storyline.Until Dawn is definitely not the sort of game for the weak-hearted. The horror element in the game can be pretty intense at times, but the storytelling from its pacing to the clincher is simply superb although, personally, I'm not a huge fan of scary stories. Until Dawn is available on Playstation consoles.
