"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!
Please don't use my music without permission!
Thanks for listening :)

[@Pieper.]

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

[@NicoTheCinderace]

Or if you use the Boss Grizzlies modifier for Kaycee's Mod

[@Pieper.]

@@NicoTheCinderace that too, but still, BEAR TRAPS, HAHAHA, anyways, I also noticed the almost, techno, flash game melody in the background of Leshy and P0-3, stops at Magnificus's part and leaves only the clock like metronome before the same metronome continues into Grimora's part, get it, cuz P-03 probably has a system clock, Leshy owns a clock, magnificus's card form is placed in a clock and Grimora represents death, a clock running down so to speak.

[@Pieper.]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@Pieper.]

plus there is the TRAPPER HAHAHAHAH,

This is the only card game I would genuinely play with others (tabletop) if I could.

[@3emad.065]

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

[@drxtale9446]

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.

[@_Iso_X]

The ouroboros card is so op If you have the black goat and the ouroboros in your hand, you basically win There is a very funny french KZbinr who compare this combo to a Yu Gi Oh trick, with the two player who stays on the same turn for days

[@UnknownCommenter3]

​@@_Iso_XYou forgot to mention putting on the unkillable sigil on black goat.

[@sophialaird6388]

Plus… “I’ve dug up your bones” from earlier? Sounds like an infinite cycle to me

[@jm7781]

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.

[@Pieper.]

Leshy, P03, Magnificus and Grimora, but yeah, it really does fit a lot with each, even their inscription methods fit. Leshy, making copies of the HISTORY of creatures with his camera, P-03 copying the motherboards, the RULES of his robots with his particle scanner, magnificus PAINTING and making ART of his pupils, and Grimora inscribing the epiphets, the LORE of the dead,

[@jm7781]

@@Pieper. And that is why they can't kill each other, narrative generates rules and lore as a byproduct, and art is the medium used to send the narrative to the audience.

[@firefi1960]

I actually got the switch for Leshy and Grimora. Leshy's game is big on story, but he doesn't really explain how cards came to be, the bosses' backstories, or even the reason you came to play cards with a creepy old man until the very end. He is lore, story. Grimora meanwhile, while not having much of a game to herself, is all about the histories of her Ghouls. You must determine history by properly telling what killed her Ghouls, checking around her crypt for clues, like a historian. And writing epitaphs, is like writing the history of the now deceased.

[@jm7781]

@@firefi1960 It was what I meant to say.

[@Sancheroid]

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

[@rosealena4]

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

[@Zach-804]

The sea is also connected the arg in which Barry Reginald Wilkinson was stowing away on a boat with the copy of inscyption (the trader in act 3 mentions that he was shot and killed after being discovered)

[@south452]

@@Zach-804 equally so the bone lord in act 2 alludes to the ocean (I believe??) AND when the floor in act 3 is deleted the ocean is underneath :)

[@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

[@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

[@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 MMMMMMMMMM 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_22]

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

[@evidentlyfresh]

I kinda made Magnificus in a more "ram/deer" like entity, it felt fitting!

[@Zacjxn]

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).

[@charliegibson4016]

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.

[@TabooRetka701]

Or PO3 against everyone else

[@aceckerty_7571]

Ooh Inscryption is such a cool game, and has so many layers! I’m super glad you did a song on it! There were so many little references to mechanics of the game in this song, but the reference to the scales and Ouroboros were definitely my favorite. I really liked the art for the Scrybes, but Leshy and Grimora in particular for some reason, I don’t know , they’ve always been my favorite soo. Thanks you so much for the song!

[@0_clover740]

dude the song is so good i honestly didnt expect it so pop off so well, also the DESIGNS OF THE SCRIBES AAAA literally so good 10/10

[@Small-stick-o-butter]

I like how every other scribe looks like some monster and grimora is the only one who looks mostly human, instead of leshy looking like a person who has an extreme fungal infection

[@obuqwe]

lyrics coz i couldnt find anywhere where it was writen down. Tell me if i made any mistakes Leshy: into the woods a man attentive his voice rings clear the rules are stated: my game is played fair no beartraps, or snares to be a great beast is power what's hidden inside this cabin, is mine but i've given the chance of a lifetime the breath in those cards means more then you think i've taken my thrown of triumph i've dug up your bones i'll trade them for teeth who knows if you'll see the ending P03: into metal abodes a robot presents itself to hold such power obay my rules you'll find the answers you seek the truth? dig deep you'll find Magnificus: this game is bad luck all wrapped into one continuous fight for power Grimora: what's hidden beneath the floorboards and sea is secrecy now unfolding Mixed: corruption is clear and yet you're still here unlimited access and copies it's taking your mind and probably your life but you have to know the ending the table is set but what's the best bet? erasing the world by proxy the scales are now tipped it's one (1) against four (4) no war shall be for supremacy the files delete but it is completed thrashing cant solve this nightmare so it will repeat the snake itself eats untill it's reduced to bare bones

[@user-li9yh9dd8x]

I find it amazing that you were able to sync the lyrics with the change between characters!

[@Wooa1200]

I'm surprised you made a song this long after the game came out but I'm glad you did cause this is great!

[@Pieper.]

also noticed, "Bare Bones" because the world is reduced to the bare-bones containment of the old data, and cards drop bones when killed, like ouroboros, is killed as it mentioned that "the snake itself eats until it's reduced to bare bones".hahaha-ha...ha

[@radagamchannel8565]

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"

[@zawdan666]

Inscryption is a great game and this is a great song! (Even though The Hex is my favorite Daniel Mullins game, I like it more than Inscryption even though it's shorter.) Tell me, did the fact that Pony Island 2 was announced inspire you to make this song or was it a coincidence? And an off-topic question, why don't you publish many instrumental versions of your songs? Don't get me wrong, I like your voice and singing, but in general I like listening more to music without words, so the option to listen only to the melody would be nice

[@evidentlyfresh]

lol this song has been in the works for months at this point... but the sudden inspiration did come from me playing Kaycees mod and the new game announcement! as for the instrumentals... it's just a bit of extra work for not much attention on the videos, so I skip it sometimes.
