The press gave it 80; the people who bought it give it 95 percent. A 15-point gap in the buyer's favour.
Of the 373 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 1 comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 88 percent of the 110 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Clever escape the room game with a cool meta layer to it. It's also atmosphering and has a nice art direction. The endings felt a bit like an afterthought, but overall a very good experience, especially if you liked chapter 1 in Inscryption.
