Devolver Digital's Inscryption is a Great Success
Inscryption is one of the indie hits of 2021. In less than two weeks after release, the game's sales have exceeded 250,000 copies.
- Developer: Daniel Mullins Games
- Publisher: Devolver Digital
- Platform: PC
- Release Date: October 19, 2021.
Devolver Digital has boasted that sales of Inscryption have exceeded 250,000 copies.. This impressive result was achieved in just ten days.
Just to remind you, Inscryption debuted on October 19. The game is available exclusively on PC and can be purchased on Steam, GOG.com and Humble store.
The game was developed by Daniel Mullins, known for Pony Island and The Hex. Inscryption not only sells superbly, but also meets with a very warm reception. OnOpenCritic, the game has an average rating of 84%.
Also players are enthusiastic about the game. On Steam, 95% of more than 11 thousand reviews praise the game, which is categorized as an "overwhelmingly positive" reception. The project also achieves good activity results - at the hottest moment of last weekend, more than 17,000 Steam users played the game simultaneously.
The success is even more satisfying, because it is a very unusual production. The game combines elements of adventure and roguelike, enabling us to play a card game with a monster known as Leshen. Therefore, it was a good idea to make a demo available, which enabled players to check out the game before buying.
Before Inscryption there was Sacrifices Must Be Made
Roots of Inscryption date back to a free game Sacrifices Must Be Made, which Daniel Mullins prepared within 48 hours for the Ludum Dare 41 competition. The project was so warmly received that the author decided to develop it into a commercial project.
