Betting My SOUL!? | Inscryption (Scary Game) 

Matpat: **takes like 10 minutes for every move** Meanwhile Markiplier: Haha yes round over in 2 seconds.

MatPat: "I see where it's headed, I think." Oh, you don't see nothing yet.

I love how attached Matt got to his cards already. That's literally me.

Props to Matt for instinctively knowing that the mushroom indicated that he already had one of that card. Sad to see this game not played through to a climax.

The rabbit hole goes DEEP on this one, y'all better strap yourselves in for a ride. Matt is going to have a mountain of Game Theory material from this, and the game itself is a trip too.

Not everything is about jumpscares. We're here because we wanna hear you theorize as you go. I mean your also the Game Theorist, so we kinda want to see you play games once in a while.

Me: watches to see what connections he makes. Matt at the end: "I think I know where this is going." Me who finished the game: "You have no idea."

I would love to see MatPat continue playing Inscryption on GTLive.

Matt: "So much hidden lore potential" Me who has beat the entire game: "Ooooooooh, you have NO idea mate"

As someone who has played this game, and who enjoys this channel, I will say two things. One, I will watch and genuinely enjoy as many videos of this gameplay as you are willing to film, and I will be fully riveted. Two, the lore is exceptionally deep here, and I think you’ll enjoy this game a lot- regardless of whether it’s here (hopefully!) or on your own time.

watching matpat struggle to sacrifice digital paper he has instantly attached shows he is crazy, but is also adorable.

I’d love to see a continuation of this.

Strange Larva actually was the best choice. Also, the lore important cards are obvious, and they usually talk.

37:10 An absolutely legendary moment where Matt loses a scripted loss fight even tho he could've won it. Play wolf + cat attack + the item that pulls a tooth out. 5 damage in total. I wonder what actually would happen if you beat him there.

Please continue this series, overthinking the rounds is half the game

22:49: It's so wholesome seeing Matt grow attached to these magical creatures he's just met.

You should definitely continue. The game isn't all cards, it goes far deeper.

As everyone else is saying you must continue this, one of my favourite games this year and some INSANE theory potential/many many secrets to find, if you thought Pony Island was insane this turns it up several notches

A shame he didn't play any other chapters... would've been fun to watch

"I see where it's headed" He has no idea where it's headed.

I love this game. Such an interesting concept and smashing together of genres.

He definitely should continue playing this game, it’s one of my favourites

Im so terribly sad you never finished playing this game 😭😭😭 I LOVE the story of this game and really really wanted to see MatPat go through the whole thing for the first time and uncovering its secrets. Why did y'all decide not to continue!!! All the comments screamed to continue playing!!!! I feel betrayed *nooooo* :( Love this channel, love this game; I'm rewatching this and wishing he continued his playthrough for all of us to see

I'm so excited to hear his theories! I love when Steph piped in randomly, made me smile that she still exists ☺️

I love how the game teaches you several times that sacrifices *must* be made. You WILL need to sacrifice something. It can be a creature on the board, it can be an item on your backpack to create room for more, it can be a card so you can have a better card, it can be even a body part, but either way, if you want to progress, sacrifices MUST. Be. Made.

Please continue to play it, Matpat. It's a really great and fun game that really moved me by the end of it. I think it's definitely full of theory potential.

It’s such a shame @gtlive never picked this game back up. It’s literally so heavy with lore that it would of been right up Matpat’s alley. I guess he did a theory on it which is crazy that he decided to go with other games that aren’t really his normal games. Except for Fnaf. Oh well, I was really excited to see he played this since I just finished it but who knows maybe one day he’ll pick it back up but it’s probably not happening if he played it for the theory… sigh lol.

Literally anything: exists Matpat: “HmMmm, so much hidden lore potential” (Wording edit)

This game has so much that I can't wait for Matpat to unfold.

YEES THEY ARE PLAYING IT. PLEASE KEEP PLAYING TILL THE END.

"I see where it's heading" Everyone who's played past a certain point: *laughs in you have absolutely no clue*

If you like games with an escape-room type feel, I highly suggest you play "The Room" series by Fireproof Games. The basic setup is that you are locked in a room with only a puzzlebox that you have to get open in order to progress to the next level but there is tons of lore hidden around or just given to the player through cryptic letters, recurring images, etc. It's creepy and sinister, with an almost steampunk vibe. I think you'd really love the puzzle-solving, the game itself is visually stunning, and the highly intriguing lore would make for a great Game Theory episode!

00:16 "So much hidden lore potential." Oh MattPatt...you don't even know the half of it.

soooo glad you played this, after seeing aliensrock full playthrough of this... This has SOOOO much lore you want to see; so PLAY THROUGH IT (it will take awhile but it is really fun and lore packed) Edit: also DO NOT BE AFRAID TO LOSE/DIE. More game features will show themselves when you loose

As smart as he is, sometimes it feels like he's unable to think at all. "I need cards to play" *takes cards from the deck without squirrels*

I'm kind of disappointed Matt didn't go farther into this game The lore is amazing and the gameplay is exciting too ! Let's hope he'll at least make a good theory out of this game

I actually wouldn't mind him doing a video on the more ARG related stuff in the game like the Old Data and the bits of code and in-depth lore of the world.

If anyone's having trouble with beating Leshi: you pick Mantis God, then sacrifice it and give its three-way attack to the minion with the most attack. That's 1/3 of the game beaten.

32:13 MAT: what are we learning about the bullfrog? Mark: "He's CUTE" MAT: *Visible disagreement*

Matt deeply overthinking the sacrifice stone is hilarious to me

Inscryption is incredible, calling it a scary game is a bit of a reach though lol

Yes! Now the question is if he gets trough the whole thing. ‘So much hidden lore potential’ indeed. Not sure just what to say or not say to both encourage seeing through to the end but also not give anything away.

'Gonna be perfectly honest, I got so used to Jacksepticeye's voiceover for the guy I heard Mat reading his lines and wondered why he had Voice Acting off.

Matpat, Markiplier is 3 parallel universes ahead of you this is much deeper than you think

Fun fact: most people fail their boss in prospector for not being strategy wise and it was unexpected, and here is matt going 5 head

This game has tons of lore hidden behind the game, hopefully we get to see more!

I really really hope they pick this back up, love the game so far and the twists are sure to get mat's brain going

Pov: you're rewatching this so that you can fill the game theory inscription sized hole in your heart

I really hope he keeps playing this!! I watched Jack play this not that long ago and really wish he would have made it a series to get more into the lore of it so if Mats willing Id love to watch more!!

I’m so glad you’re covering this game! I was so confused by the first (and only other) play through I watched!

Now that fnaf is over i REALLY hope to see more of this game on the channel! i really think mat could find a lot of secrets here :D

Part 2 pleeeeeeaaaaassseeee!!!!!!! I loved watching this, and hope to see more. I have played this game all the way through and I would love to see how Matpat plays it too.

YES, FINALLY ! Mat finally acknowledged Inscription ! I can't wait for a good theory

God I really hope you cover this game, it's absolutely phenomenal

Mat: How do you stop flying enemies? Game: Here's a bullfrog with air defender to stop flying enemies. Also Mat: I don't care about flying.

I think the reason Geck is a rare card is because it has no cost.

For the grizzly fight -you could have won it: The cat you played was the enhanced cat - one damage. If you played the wolf, with your emergency squirrel it would have been guaranteed the first attack - +3 damage. Finally, before ending your turn you could have used the pliers - +1 damage. In total, 5 damage, winning on the first round.

Matt: "Devolver Games" Me: "ENTER THE GUNNNNNGEEEEON"

It's fun to go "YEAH PLAY THAT CAR-- NO NOT THAT ONE, THE OTHER ONE" everytime you start thinking about what card to play

I loved this one! Please do another episode! It's so beautiful and mysterious, and your lovely conversations as you talk things out with each other make it even more fun to watch.

LETS GO finally Matt is playing the best game of all time

oh this is a great game, I cant wait to see what kind of theories mat manages to pull out of this one

I absolutely love this! It’s refreshing to see something more calming rather than something super energetic. I’m not a fan of podcasts but I love to have something on in the background, and I feel like this series would be perfect to listen in on while working. Please give us more, this was an amazing video!

???: “Don’t touch ANYTHING.” MatPat: [Maniacal Laughter]

I watched Markiplier play this. I learned I should pay more attention when crocheting and binging youtube. I thought there was actual voice acting, and not Markiplier with stellar character capturing.

I. Am. So. Happy. Thank you for playing this Matt, hope we get a theory on this!

I love matpats meta analysis of stuff. Just love it

I really want to see more of this game! I love hearing the strategy behind it! Plus I want to watch Matt discover all the secrets this game has to offer!!!

I really want to see a full playthrough of this, but I feel this is one of those games that will be hard for him to find the time to play.

I chose geck in my playthrough his catch is that he costs nothing so he’s a card that deals damage for a price of a squirrel and if you get the sigil that allows him to go right to your hand after it dies it becomes super OP

Please continue playing, this goes way further you could imagine.

I love watching people solve puzzles. It's relaxing, in a way. And I'm really loving the commentary on the animals. I would have went with Geck.

Was hoping you'd play this, so much potential lore in the later game

Matt: You know nothing John. Me: He knows more than you apparently.

Please continue playing this! It gets soo much deeper and weirder from now on and watching you think through strategies is really fun!

i really enjoy when Matpat talk about data and stuff to look for because he always sounds like he knows what he is doing

I was waiting for it, and now it's here! Hope mat enjoys the playthrough and finishes it in future episodes and finds enough for a theory

Anybody else want mat to play little nightmares 2

keep going! I didn't even notice 5 minutes had passed on a single turn I was too invested in your rationing to notice lol, I think I like this game now haha.

It's time to duel and there's no backing down The heart of the cards is where magic is found We've played this game before, but never quite this way. It's like an all out war. With monsters that obey

This is a good one!! I can't wait to see the full lets play and the theory that will obviously follow.

This game has quickly become a favourite of mine due to all of its hidden secrets and layers. There's tons of material in this game to theorize about, so I'm really looking forward to it!

32:50 I wheezed at “their wolves, their not bull frogs” 🤣

Geck being like 'I have no redeeming qualities'

So excited to see you play this. I've seen the let's plays, but they've all got jump cuts. I'm interested to see the whole thing played out properly. 👍

matpat tittle is like “betting my SOUL??” and then clarifies it by putting spooky game behind it. maybe the betting soul thingy is enough to tell lmao 😭😭

Mats like a child playing Mario for the first time without knowing that you can jump

As someone who really enjoys card/deck building games, seeing someone who doesn't seem like they play them all that often go through a game and misunderstand or read too much/not enough into things is interesting to say the least. Like seeing MatPat totally miss that the bullfrog would DEFEND against flying, because he's only thinking about attacking them.

watching him overthink every single random bit of this game is hilarious

Had a horrible day today where I just want to wrap myself in blankets and cry. And yet I already know watching GTlive will brighten my day just a little.

i love watching you play because you are so strategic with the cards! there is more to the room (puzzles) so please continue so we can find all the lore with you!!!

About the escape the night thing: The riddle, if I'm not mistaken, requests for a wedding ring of a dead man. Mat definitely fulfilled both criterias (he died on episode 5 and was then resurrected.) Honestly, it would've been so funny if Mat ended up doing that in the final cut, especially since the actual solve of that puzzle was very similar (they had to go get the dead man resurrected and then get his ring). Definitely would have deprived the other contestants some solving moments and straight Joey (though I would not be very sad to never have seen that), which is why it was understandably cut, but it is a solve that would have been perfect for the specific circumstance they were in.

More more more! Fun to watch, looks like possibly different endings with the card choices, seems actually difficult, I can’t speak for everyone but I love the story told games like this .

This is one of my favorite games. I was surprised at the amount of unique mechanics and twists there were in the game.

The creator of pony island (daniel mullins) also created "the hex" before inscryption, which is also a really good game with a cool story and game mechanics

Heck yes keep this going. I love the live theorizing aspect of these videos, and, with how nuts Inscryption gets, it'll be great to watch those thoughts occur in (not)real time.

Im so vey upset i didnt get to watch my favorite gaming creator play my favorite story game through 😭😭😭 I terribly wish MatPat would've continued this playthrough. WHY DIDN'T HE LISTEN TO THE COMMENTS LIKE HE ASKED? He asked if we wanted to watch and we said YES! and he didn't continue 😭

oh my god YES FINALLY this game has SOOOO much lore to it and really is just so many curveballs in a row!!!! matpat's gonna have so much fun if he can get through it all :)

54:24 - I just realized who Child 13 is! It's the *Jersey Devil.* The story is he was the 13th child and when his mother was giving birth, she screamed, "Let it be the devil!"

FYI Daniel Mullens is a single developer (did both this and Pony Island by himself - that’s why it’s been so long before this came out) and it was just published by Devolver
