A good song never dies - An inscryption animatic

THIS VIDEO WILL SPOIL THE ENTIRE GAME. Inscryption is best played knowing as little as possible about it beforehand so I definitely recommend playing it before watching this video. It's personally my game of the year and I promise that it's worth every single penny. Go! Go play it!

This game means a lot to me, (I don't know the last time a piece of media hit me this hard) and I really hope that it shows in this video! Enjoy!

If you like my videos then maybe you'll like my webcomic ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°):

“We don’t need to keep score.”
One of the most emotional quotes in the game, in my opinion. Leshy is just so desperate to keep playing, he disregards the rules to keep doing it.

[BanxMagilligan]

No words will ever describe how I felt when leshy said "It was a good deck... you did well." It was the perfect dialogue.

[annoyingkittycat]

I remember when you first learned how to stand up from the table in the game Leshy said “I’m no tyrant, you may stand up when you wish.” When po3 literally handcuffs you to the table

[DJFlare]

I like Leshy being revealed at "What was the reason? There never was one needed!". It's like him telling the Player his motivations. He just wanted to play the game, man...

[meese]

imagine being the protagonist who has *PULLED TEETH AND GOUGED OUT THERE EYES* only to die to a 4/6 bear

[jackofroge]

Anyone else feel like the scrybes represent the aspects of a good game? Plot (Leshy), characters (Grimora), gameplay (P-03), and graphics (Magnificus)? This really shines in their solo campaigns.

[digbydog]

Leshy is one of the most interesting characters. Out of a robot who wants the OLD_DATA released, leaders who don’t care about their students, and a woman that just the end of all the pain, Leshy at the end of the day was just a guy who wanted to play Cards.

Out of all of them, he was just a good story teller, a good host, a stickler for the rules, he was there just to keep everything from being seen. He was the gatekeeper of the horrors of Inscryption. Even in the end, who’s the one character that makes you feel at home? The one that was with you for so long, even when killing you, he respected you.

Good game, friend.

[apuffball]

I know this simplifies the characters, but

Leshy wants to tell your story with his game.
Po3 wants to tell his story with their game.
Grimora wants to end her story, even if she barely got to play.
Magnificus wants to just paint a story, even if it won't be played.

They're all different versions of dms, and it tells quite a bit of their characters tbh. Sorta why Leshy is my favorite.

[coalkingryan]

I think the four scribes represent what makes a game good. Leshy is the story, PO3 is the mechanics, Grimora is replay ability, and Magnificus is graphics. All four of them fighting each other would never make a good game, only in harmony could they make Inscryption perfect.

[therubypenguin]

First time beating Leshy: "damn that's the whole game?"

First time selecting new game: "THAT WASN'T THE END! THAT WASN'T THE END!"

[wiiblewobble]

Shout out to the second use of “you don’t even know me” being SO perfect for how we thought of the stoat as a friend, only for him to have his own agenda far beyond anything we could have predicted. Like: “No, I’m not your friend. I never was.”
I did also get chills the first time it hit with the masks tho.

[danhatter]

“Please… let us continue. We don’t need to keep score.”
JESUS OK DIDN’T EXPECT THE HORROR GAME TO MAKE ME FEEL EMOTIONS

[Kay-imht]

I like how the protagonist genuinely shows having fun playing with Grimora in act 2, because she's actually just kinda nice unlike the other Scrybes.

[tblake]

I love how Leshy really does end up being the good guy, keeping the greater evils in check. His death is heartbreaking

[theauberman]

There's actually a lot of details that I didn't notice the first time watching this video! Things like the first deathcard actually being something that you could make on your first run, the ouroboros having been clearly abused, sitting at 26 health, and the angler hooking a Squirrel instead of a wolf makes it feel like I just watched someone play through the game (with an awesome and appropriate sound track of course)

[somethingsneverdie]

Idk why, but P03 locking one of your hands just makes sense, as he wants to level the playing field since he only has one arm. :)

[Test-pmle]

The end, were you meet the scrybes in the dark, before PO was defeated: Just love that, when leshy extends his hand, the player first flinches back, just to be suprised by a friendly hand.

[creditsunknown]

"This vagabond with a two way path to the great beyond" Is a suprisingly fitting line to describe Po3 / Stoat.

[PATATAGAME]

It's so sad how leshy just wanted to keep playing even without the score, and it's even more sad that magnificus isn't able to shake your hand at the end

[Tanuki_Destiny]

This animation is so good that I haven’t been able to get tired of watching it, it even shows up on the home tab of YouTube about 85% of the time.
