S2E20 - Inscryption

(Play along for now) Ah yes Inscryption! A completely normal game of deckbuilding between you and a crazed lunatic in a desolate cabin. A winner of numerous game awards for ... totally normal reasons ... we celebrate the end of Spooktember with sacrificing squirrels for blood to feed our science experiment grizzly bears. (Hit the download button) You're also looking at your podcast feed thinking "ah but this isn't a roguelike game!" You might be right, but at least a solid third of this game is, and we felt it important and interesting enough to round up to being an honorary inclusion in the conversation. (Rate the podcast 5 stars) That being said, this is a completely spoiler heavy episode! So if by some happenstance you haven't played it, we strongly recommend you do so before listening. Don't fiddle with that shackle around your wrist, we have some Transcending to do!

Solid podcast! Though one thing i wanted to correct is that the woman (Amanda) wasn't intimidating. I would say that was the point. She's not actually a representative of the company. She's a body being controlled by Sado, an escaped AI from Daniel Mullins's game, The Hex. Sado's face flashes up over hers in the second after she shoots Luke.

@@jaredwasserman1092 Fascinating thanks for the insight! I didn't realize there was such a crossover to The Hex, but it kind of makes sense in retrospect.
I also didn't notice that Luke drops a card pack in a similar way to the bosses of act 2 lol.
