Inscryption getting a physical release on Switch

Inscryption was officially announced for Switch during the Indie World Showcase this week, and it’s now been announced that a physical release is in the cards. Special Reserve Games is handling production.

Fans will be able to choose between a standard version and a “Reserve” edition. The first one simply includes the cartridge, reversible jacket artwork, and instruction booklet. The special edition has all of these goodies plus sequentially numbered packaging, a Special Reserve art card, and comes in a Special Reserve box.

Here’s some information about the game:

From the creator of Pony Island and The Hex comes the latest mind-melting, self-destructing love letter to video games.

Inscryption is an inky black card-based odyssey that blends the deckbuilding roguelike, escape-room style puzzles, and psychological horror into a blood-laced smoothie. Darker still are the secrets inscrybed upon the cards…

In Inscryption you will…

Acquire a deck of woodland creature cards by draft, surgery, and self-mutilation.

Unlock the secrets lurking behind the walls of Leshy’s cabin.

Embark on an unexpected and deeply disturbing odyssey.

Inscryption will launch for Switch on December 1, 2022, which is the same day that pre-orders open for the physical versions (you’ll be able to reserve one here). Copies should ship in Q2 2023.
