#INSCRYPTION ENDING FULL#

Intrigued, he reaches out to the company behind Inscryption, GameFuna, to inquire about the disk he found. There's no mention of it on the internet and seemingly no one has ever heard of it before, let alone played it. While Inscryption was a short-lived physical card game, there's no record of a video game version anywhere that Luke can find. Once he finds the game, Luke not only starts playing it (once he procures a floppy disk drive, that is), he also starts digging to figure out what the deal is. Luke's sister died sometime before 2006, and it was his grief and an attempt to connect with the memory of his sister, seemingly, that led him to start doing videos as the Lucky Carder. He was a card game fan with his sister in the mid-2000s, and the two would go to conventions and play together quite a bit. Later in the game, you can uncover more of Luke's backstory. Later in the game, we learn a few bits about Luke's backstory and why he's so serious about his card game video channel. The protagonist you embody in Inscryption is Luke, and he's a central point of the game's narrative. He's literally filming his computer screen as he plays, and you're simultaneously sort of taking on his role and watching the videos of Inscryption that he's made. Occasionally, when intense or weird things happen in the game, you can hear Luke reacting, and the focus of the game's camera shifts a bit to reveal the video camera interface. So when we're playing Inscryption, we're actually taking on the role of Luke, trying out the game while also recording his exploits for his Lucky Carder channel. Inside is a red floppy disk, which Luke discovers has a video game version of Inscryption on it. They lead him out to the woods, where he discovers a box buried just under the ground. Opening one pack, Luke discovers that someone has written coordinates on one of the cards.

It's not long before Luke discovers some vintage card packs at a garage sale for a game called Inscryption, which was apparently a physical card game that didn't last long in the game's universe. The first act ends by showing you some videos, recorded by a card game fan streamer who calls himself 'The Lucky Carder.' His real name is Luke, and his videos at first are standard YouTuber-esque fare, in which he opens card packs and talks to the audience about his good pulls. Outside of what's going on in the cabin with the shadowy opponent (who we later discover is Leshy, named for a Slavic forest deity), there's actually a meta narrative driving Inscryption. Luke Carder, The Lucky Carder Luke is a card game fan who makes videos for the internet and stumbles on the only known copy of the video game Inscryption. Here's everything we've uncovered and what you need to know to make sense of Inscryption's story, as well as a look at what's waiting to be uncovered. We haven't uncovered everything about Inscryption-and that ARG is still ongoing-but we have delved pretty deeply into the story of the game to uncover some of its secrets, particularly to get a sense of what's going on with its tense, abrupt ending. Once you've made it to the end, you might still find yourself confused about what's going on with the game's plot-lots of hints and tidbits are hidden by secrets you'll have to uncover, and there's actually a whole ongoing alternate reality game outside of Inscryption that players are still trying to puzzle out. Between the strange puzzles, the talking cards who appear to be other characters trapped in some sort of limbo, and the monstrous opponent who runs the show, there's much more to uncover about Inscryption. Lose, and your opponent claims your life your only goal is to stay alive long enough to solve the mysteries of the cabin so that you might find a way to ultimately escape.īut even if you do escape, that's only the beginning. When you start the game, you find yourself in a mysterious cabin, forced to play a deck-building card game with a shadowy figure.

There's a lot more to Inscryption than first meets the eye. Update: It seems the Inscryption ARG has been solved, so we've updated this piece with more information toward the bottom.

You should absolutely finish the game on your own first before reading further.
