In case you haven’t heard of him, get a crash course with a fantastic discount on Inscryption. Humble is currently selling Steam versions of the secret-packed deckbuilder for $7.99, a sizable discount from its usual price of $20. It’s compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux machines.The game starts out as a fairly straightforward deckbuilding roguelike game with a dark atmosphere. Stick with it, and it’ll evolve, defying genres, breaking the fourth wall, and leading you through a twisted story with plenty of surprises. Part of the fun is discovering those twists yourself, so I won’t say anything else. It’s one of my personal favorite games, and it’s best to go in knowing as little as possible. Thankfully, taking the leap isn’t expensive at all.Verge ShoppingSign up to get the best deals on products we’ve found and tested sent to your inbox.Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Brad Bourque
