'BAD LUCK' || An Inscryption Original Song

Long awaited, but it is finally here! I have NON STOP been playing this game for hours and hours, from the original story mode, to playing Kaycee's mod over and over. This game and the story behind it is so intriguing, but I honestly wanted to focus on the internal struggles between the Scrybes, and how it's all doomed to repeat over and over... as long as you keep playing.
It's such and interesting take on a video game and a story, and I hope I captured it well enough!

Art is by me!

Thanks for listening :)

I just got done watching the "A Good Song Never Dies" animatic for this game, went to my home screen and saw that this dropped less than a minute ago. What wonderful timing.

[Pieper.]

I just realized "Bear traps" haha, he traps you WITH BEARS if you beat any of the bosses too early, HAAHAHAH

[GoopMaster]

I like how leshy's part sounds more threatening and serious while P03's sounds more cold and creepy

[aidencalhoun]

I really thought Leshy would say "sacrifices must be made" after saying "To be a great beast" as a reference to the original inscryption

[Bulbbley]

Ah so glad to know Inscryption is still alive. The pony island 2 trailer has brought some life back into it.

[emad.]

I find it so funny that you used the ouroboros metaphor, as in this one creature is always present.

[Tijer_theTiger]

"So it will repeat, the snake itself eats, until it's reduced to bare bones" Uroboros being so overpowered that they are the only card mentioned in songs

[Sancheroid]

Oh god, these illustrations are crazy, especially magnificus and leshy... i love how creepy it is

[drxtale]

I love the Ouroboros/jörmungandr reference at the end. Saying that this game would repeat over and over until it was torn to bone.

Saying that the player would try and take everything they could, to check everything, digging deep for file to file to find *anything* interesting in this game.

Or that or I’m going into an endless rabbit hole of thinking.

I think the four lords in the inscription game are simbols of the four pillars of game design, history for the forest guy, rules for the robot, Art for the painter/mage and lore for the bones lady.

[rosealena]

i love the line “Whats hidden beneath the floorboards and sea? Is secrecy now unfolding?”
mainly because it connects to/references that 27341(?) code hidden on the normal/depth textures of the floorboards, and the semi-connected game of Beneath the Surface (which connects to the Hex arg too!!!) :D

[radagamchannel]

i like how lyrics made

leshy talking a lot and referencing what happend in game

while p03 talks a little and straight forward


also how little sounds in music changes, like ij po3 part its more "electronic"

[MrChaos-KayOz]

This song is so eerie and ominous, perfectly capturing how I first felt playing the game! I do hope there’s a chance it appears on iTunes so I can vibe to it for hours!

[Time-flows-slowly]

Mm, delicious food we've been given!
I really love how well the instrumentals and lyrics blur together, feels like they were made *for* each other instead of one being made to bow to the other
Also think it's clever that Leshy and P03 were given more screentime here

[gritina]

I love this song and can't explain why

[The_Distortionist_Waits]

I do notice that during the Leshy part he says "The Rules" while PO-3's are stated as "My Rules" showing that Leshy plays a game for the sake of the game, while PO-3's attention is on upholding the rules and power over the game
Or maybe I'm reading too far into it

[rabelaisian-crow]

This song has been constantly gnawing at me since i first heard it, ive listened to it nearly a dozen times today.
-i really like the chanting/repetitive nature of the vocal & instrumental, it captures the endless cycle of inscryption's corruption (also it reminds me of act 1's music, specifically the trapper/trader boss fight with the low humming)
- "I've dug up your bones, I'll trade them for teeth" I don't know why but this line is tasty
- yoo and P03's section having the echo in the higher octave like the whirring of electrical equipment 👀👀👀👀
Anyway yeah I've been rotating this song in my brain for like a week. Excellent work! :D

[cult_of_]

And one last thing... Of the others had a verse here's what I think they'd be
Magnificus: here the void
Silent a mage sits
Their voice
Is soft
As is the echo
The end
Is near
And that is not just a fear
We all
Wont be
At peace
But it shall work
My life is at stake
And yours is too
Our fate is tied by our hands
One simple curse
Is destined to break
Us and all around us
Grimore: a skel- eton
Sits crackling
And crumbling
Her voice
Is sharp
She rings
With purpose
My crypt
Holds secrets
Meant not for mortals
And yet
They tell
To all who listen
I sit here
Corrupted
Past the data
We keep looping
Until we meet
One of our 2 endings
We are stuck for ever
Yet I try and end this endeavor
We are nothing in here
And yet i still rear
At my chance to get my own ending
They try to stop
But it is for not
I will have my wishes

[charliegibson]

I interpret that “one against four” isn’t referring to the player against the scribes, it’s referring to Grimora against everyone else, as she tries to essentially kill all of them.

Inscryption is one of my favourite horror games and one of my favourite deckbuilding games too so I was really excited when I saw this song in my notifications. It also completly caught me off guard since there was a drop-off of frequency after evidentlyfresh hurt their voice a little while back and I assumed that the next song was going to be along the lines of their most recent works but this is much better than I could have imagined I especially love how if it's played on loop it connects perfectly. definitely one of my favourite Inscryption songs right up there with sacrifices must be made (Dan Bull).
