About this game

Inscryption is a single-player deckbuilding and narrative-driven puzzle strategy game.

The story begins with the player trapped in a dark cabin, forced to play a mysterious card game overseen by an enigmatic figure named Leshy.

Progression through the game requires winning card battles while uncovering hidden secrets in the cabin.

The player takes on the role of an unnamed challenger, gradually piecing together the nature of the card game, the cabin itself, and the larger mystery tied to the world outside.

Core gameplay centers on tactical card battles across a 3x4 grid.

Players summon creatures using various resources: blood, bones, or energy, each gained through different mechanics such as sacrificing existing cards or having creatures perish in battle.

Victory is determined by dealing damage on the opponent’s side of the scale, with damage values represented visually on a balance.

Loss occurs when the opponent tips the scale in their favor.

Different card types and unique sigils introduce abilities like flight, instant kills, or additional summons, creating synergies and strategic planning opportunities.

Between battles, exploration allows interaction with objects in the cabin and participation in roguelike map progression.

Each run places the player along a branching path where encounters include combat, campfires to strengthen cards, traders for new cards, or events that alter the deck.

Defeat typically results in restarting, though the deck and options can change with every attempt.

Deckbuilding is incremental, encouraging experimentation with combinations of creatures and abilities.

Beyond card battles, the game includes escape-room style puzzles inside the cabin.

Solving locked boxes, safes, and other hidden mechanisms grants new cards or items that affect gameplay.

These puzzles also expand the narrative, hinting at the nature of the cabin’s master and the layered reality surrounding the card game.

About Nintendo Switch

Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.

Gamevaro tracks INSCRYPTION [SWITCH RESERVE] for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding INSCRYPTION [SWITCH RESERVE] to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW release dates back to 2022.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
