On Steam it has gathered 131,971 player reviews, 97% of them positive, which counts as a overwhelmingly positive reception among indie titles in the Adventure category. The game is available on linux, mac, windows, and launched at $20.

indielist estimates lifetime unit sales for Inscryption at roughly 6.7 million to 15.7 million copies, with a median around 11.2 million, derived from its 131,971 Steam reviews using a multi-factor Boxleiter model (version v1.0). That median maps to approximately $128.1M in net revenue after Steam's 30% cut, regional pricing, and refunds. Unlike black-box trackers, the full calculation is shown on this page: a base review-to-sales multiplier is adjusted for release year, launch price, review sentiment, studio size, and genre, and every adjustment is listed so developers, publishers, and investors can audit exactly how the figure was reached. The range itself reflects genuine uncertainty — review-to-sales ratios vary widely between games — so indielist publishes a low, median, and high band rather than a false-precision single number, and treats free-to-play, heavily discounted, and bundle-distributed titles as having wider error margins still.

Ecosystem
Players looking for games like Inscryption can compare it on indielist against semantically similar Adventure titles such as Die in the Dungeon, Slay the Spire, Touhou: Lost Branch of Legend, ranked by shared tags and genre rather than by ad spend. On the developer side, Daniel Mullins Games's other releases and Devolver Digital's wider catalog are one click away, letting developers benchmark where Inscryption sits among a studio's body of work and how its publisher's portfolio performs. Because indielist maps studios, publishers, games, and funding into one connected graph, the same Inscryption page serves three audiences at once: players hunting their next Adventure game, developers studying how comparable projects were positioned and what they sold, and investors tracing which teams and labels are active in the space. A machine-readable markdown mirror of this page is published at the same path with a .md suffix for AI assistants, and its review, price, and sales-estimate figures are refreshed on a schedule rather than frozen at launch.
