Inscryption | Blind Playthrough [Part 1]

[@LuckbeaSladey]

That second surrender: if you had left all the same cards on the table and continued, you would have won. This is why he surrendered.

[@bustinmayo6595]

Im consistently shocked by how mapo plays all of my favorite games

[@duudsoupblb8399]

For real if he ends up jumping to Returnal at some point he has played everything I have wanted him to play. He's exceedingly consistent with his game picks.

[@nathanielholzgrafe5274]

Right? If he plays Obra Dinn and The Witness he will have hit all my modern indie favorites.

[@dandyprime5338]

Most definitely. I just want to see him play Returnal, Prey, The Talos Principle, The Witness, Obra Dinn, and the Plague Tale games and he'll have played every game that I want him to play haha.

[@nathanielholzgrafe5274]

@@dandyprime5338 I would LOVE a Talos Principle playthrough!

[@lamparez]

and that's why I now use this channel to populate my wishlist

[@elvendorktw1036]

Ooh, an unexpected treat. I played this a lot a while back. It's certainly very interesting, hope you enjoy.

[@DamianSzajnowski]

Understatement. It's an indie gem for sure. Masterpiece might be a bit of an exxageration but the initial card gameplay definitely hit the spots for me on top of the atmosphere, style, sound design, story, horrory and meta elements.

[@Mizzledew]

​@@DamianSzajnowskihonestly lorewise and everything I'd dare say it's definitely a masterpiece, artwise too, very lovely game

[@Galax94cz]

Oh boy, I did not expect this one but hey, this will be fun time, you will love the mysteries this game has to offer, all I am saying is - Take your time, don't rush to finish the game and try to explore everything possible

[@usernamechris07]

ah, this series' gonna be great with mapo playing it

[@nattofirstofthefermented]

"It's a card game. Interesting" When I bought this game I knew nothing about it other than I saw it on a list of games that would blow you away if you weren't spoiled. My reaction was "I just bought a card game? I don't play card games... should I refund?" But of course I loved it.

[@ninjaguyYT]

Was it on Reddit? I think I saw the same one.

[@nattofirstofthefermented]

@@ninjaguyYT I believe it was a KZbin video

[@amalaspina]

I like how the 3 rares you get offered are obvious nods the the "Timmy, Johnny, and Spike" method of categorizing cars game players

[@foxbread3714]

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one Dying in the first battle by doing the worst possible plays was a tiny bit painful to watch, but failiure is the best teacher, which is most certainly true with this game

[@Tarknaal]

1:18 Have you heard the tale of the Flying Uyarooooliiiiiii!?- Some crazy man probably.

[@i-maxwalker3401]

THE FLYING UYAROOOOOOLIIIII!

[@ammygamer]

Oh man, this channel really has seriously no chill when it comes to ending a great playthrough and going straight to another great game haha. Thanks to the Patrons for the recommendations so far!

[@ShmuPixel]

Ooooh, nice, Inscryption! I waited a long time to play this game myself, finally decided to play it last year because I've heard so many positive reviews from friends... At first I thought this would be too macabre for my tastes, but it uses narration/plot twists so well it kept me interested until the end. Definitely not your typical cards game, this one asks to think outside the box (quite literally)!

[@foxwhite25]

I literally bought this game one week ago from the pack and had a blast, nice to see a playthough from you.

[@foxwhite25]

I also have a blind playthough, didn't watch any video before and just sorta forgot about it.

[@FLooper]

OMG yes! YES! I've been binch watching your channel for 8 months (16 full let's plays) and thanks to you I've played Death Stranding, which is now a personal favourite of mine! And you just keep up with amazing content! You are *by far* my favourite Let's Player! And I've seen a lot of channels over the past 10 years! Keep on keeping on!

[@majorzero39]

this is one the best game ever made in last 10 years. It reminds you what is a "game" is.

[@corwinchapman4565]

i once used teo sacrifice events to put the soul of the black goat and the eternal cockroach into the black cat, making for an infinitely sacrificeable, endlessly returning black cat that gave me three blood whenever i needed. It was pretty OP, I'm not going to lie

[@ericwilford2156]

EVERYONE STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING ITS HAPPENING. Also the day 1 custom art intro is pristine

[@AllisonIceGirl]

I played this game last year - easily a quality game and I was so happily surprised to see this pop up in my feed! I can't wait for you to dive into the secrets here!

[@adityaflashraj]

Mapo is playing Inscyption? OMG cannot wait. This is such an amazing game.

[@gazzamanazza4pm]

It's always fun watching you start a new series and waiting to see what the new custom intro is going to be like. This one did not disappoint!

[@avalanche5167]

I found mapo like 3 days ago and he somehow managed to have every single game I like either played or is currently playing. Incredible youtuber fr

[@Ellievsgod]

Ayyyy! Love this game, excited to see your playthrough!

[@Cotsos88]

You are going to love this. Please dont let anyone spoil it.

[@SarahMaeBea]

I think you're the first playthrough I've seen to actually stop and look up the skink and ant sigils to solve the drawer puzzles! I'm so pleased. So many people just brute force it and it's annoying! What's the fun in just bashing it until it works? Anyway, I would not have thought to see this game on your channel! Looking forward to it. This has been very fun so far.

[@alicelenn7579]

I was about to comment that too. Good to see someone thinking the same. When i saw him actually put time in looking up what the sigils meant to solve the puzzles i was surprised and happy. Many people just tried to brute force it to no avail and some just gave up without even considering looking up the sigils.

[@everythingnotnice.]

I didn’t expect myself to enjoy this as much as I did lol brings back my yugioh memories

[@meganc60]

This is a pleasant surprise! I got through a big chunk of Inscryption myself, but hit a wall at a certain point and couldn't really proceed anymore. I've also never really done well with horror/suspenseful games, which ultimately made me set it aside, so experiencing it through one of my favorite channels is probably the next best thing. Hope you like it and I'm curious to see how it goes too! Also forgot to mention one of the reasons I was interested in it is because it gives me big Yugioh Season 0 vibes! Ultimately it was just a little too creepy for me though.

[@my_username_was_already_taken]

YEAAAAAAAAAAAH this is a game I've really been wanting to watch you play, I completely have neglected to check patreon for awhile, so this was a great surprise to see

[@maksphoto78]

Tip: you can place a squirrel to absorb a creature's attack.

[@lesleycatch]

Inscryption is such an amazing game, and im really happy to see you playing it!!!

[@luhsvideodump1300]

Such a gorgeous intro animation...!!! These never disappoint!!

[@Impossiblegend]

Take a shot every time he says 'stout' xD

[@Skim_Jim]

I just started playing this game on my own. So excited to watch your play through while I also tackle it. Hopefully your play through can help me on the parts I’m stuck on 😅. This will be fun!!

[@Theorak]

Not just a Devolver game, a Daniel Mullins game, strap in for some weirdness :D

[@SnailHatan]

Would absolutely LOVE to see more short indie horror games on here! There are some real gems you’re missing out on that would be hella fun

[@noisecrime]

Yeah, I'm kind of 50/50 as to whether I'm interested in some of the recent games he played, which is a shame as they tend to last a long time. Having a few shorter games in the mix would likely increase the chance of watching more series. Obviously its up to Mapo as to what he wants to play, but mixing in a short game with the longer ones would provide greater range and number of games played..

[@rileyhopkins9940]

This is totally unexpected yet extremely welcome. I feel that you will love this game. I'm super hyped!

[@CHHaywood]

YESSSSS I love this game and I'm thrilled you're playing it.

[@Kinguification]

Right at the top of the video, dropping a like for that beautiful intro for the game. Definitely going to enjoy this playthrough!

[@TinkaDreamChaser]

OMG Inscryption let's GOOO :DD I was gonna write more as it went on, but I got sucked in xD It's such a great game and your opponent is an awesome 'Dungeon Master' indeed! You did really well on your first boss actually, it took me a few tries to get it right. There are still so many secrets to uncover in this game and I cannot wait to see you play the rest of it :D

[@JoyaLewisTheMusician]

OMG i just woke up and saw this NO WAY DUDE - THIS GAME WILL BLOW YOUR MIND! I’m so so so excited ❤❤❤ this was like the best thing I could’ve woken up to lmao Btw stoat pronounced like boat

[@dallama2616]

looking foward to this series

[@justinsanegaming9724]

i know its his first time playing this im new to the game too but i OOF'd soo many times during this video XD

[@Shorteagle]

Love this game so much, can't wait to see your full playthrough

[@emperman]

Oh boy didn't see this one coming. Awesome eye mapo

[@muldoone6920]

Now that was an intro honestly, cool adaptation to the series.

[@carsoncampbell5608]

I absolutely love this game and I know I’m gonna love watching you play it

[@Space_Equestrian]

This game was so much fun to play through for the first time

[@GeneralBass]

Finally, the perfect game for your intro

[@themangoartificer882]

your an interesting person to watch play games your not only just really fun to listen to but you always play games if a very different way then i do

[@SirKurt25]

0:42 another case of publisher getting more credit than the developer (-.-)

[@noisecrime]

Well, this is a very pleasant surprise, didn't expect to see Inscryption, but very happy to see it, hope you enjoy it.

[@chrisfowler6488]

This game is great! I'm excited for this playthrough.

[@IAmSpartacus468]

Wow, the other day I was thinking "Oh, I hope that Mapo will play Inscryption someday, would be fun to watch." Well, here we are... this should be good.

[@Dethrox]

omg.. this is an absolute gem of a game :D so happy you are playing it^^

[@Davidbiscou]

Holy shit i am so hyped, this game is honestly a joy to play and the story is so fucking good... i hope you enjoy this cuz i sure as hell did lol

[@hyperteleXii]

Love all the analysis and speculation.

[@kagemushashien8394]

A bit of tips: Thin the deck, the less cards you have, the more chance you'll draw the needed card. Get up the table often, observe the surroundings, you are basically in a escape room cabin, find secrets, some will give new cards, and some are for progression. The game is trial and error, learn from mistakes and form a strategy. Remember that you got items, use them wisely, and only when needed. Pelts can't be sacrificed, but they make good blockers, and if they die they aren't removed after the game, so don't worry when you play them. Take your time, it's made to be relaxing, you ARE in a cabin in the woods playing a simple card game with immersive music after all. Beware the Fish Hook.

[@thegnjoy]

Hi, if you're new to Map's channel he doesn't like spoilers, backseating, or tips, except in rare occasions of grievous misunderstanding. That being said, he also plays games at the very least over a week in advance (for Patreon subscribers' 7-day early access) so most of these tips aren't helpful anymore. Sit back and enjoy the playthrough :)

[@lewdwig]

You’re in for surprises and delights aplenty.

[@zacharron]

I'm in the middle of playing this and it's a ride. Not often that a game completely surprises me.

[@McBackstabber]

Oh my god banger after banger! Looking forward to this series.

[@jakubpuawski3875]

holy shit, Mapo, I did not expect you playing this :D Have fun, this game is absolutely stunning

[@aiellamori]

Bro is pulling out all the bangers

[@torikenyon]

YO THAT INTRO LOOKS SO COOL

[@BunnLilah]

Yay!! Loved this game and the music is fantastic.

[@ninjatoriumnova2483]

This is gonna be great, the game takes some really wild twists and turns.

[@aimelle3]

if you like the map structure of Inscryption (and Cult of the Lamb to an extent), I'd heartily recommend Slay the Spire, which was clearly an influence on Inscryption's maps. Slay the Spire also inspired Peglin's maps, if you've ever played that.

[@gamerule18]

Damn Mapo here releasing straight bangers

[@martinj3239]

Oh damn, Mapo playing another awesome game!

[@jaredalexander3130]

I watched the first 5 mins of the video and was like RIGHT I'm buying this for myself now and playing it first 😂

[@Xenotric]

oooh this gonna be fun! its got quite a bit to it, though definitely gonna be lots of misplays as you learn >< for example you can just attack flying units, you only need something like the frog to block them damaging you directly >

[@emperorxenu519]

Well here's something I didn't know I needed

[@Sn33t]

Yes! Incription, incredible! ❤

[@BlancardOsiris]

Another title fitted for you mate. Had a great time once again. Keep on keeping on my friend…

[@orohyuno]

You're the type of Let's Player I'd love to watch playing Gloomhaven for PC.

[@bradleypeate3266]

Had such fun with this game when I played it way back 😁

[@samdurham6277]

Tutorial: This is easy. First Fight: Hang on a second.

[@wakka866]

I played this the first time yesterday. I was surprised to hear Tyler (aliensrock here on KZbin) at the beginning of the game

[@rodneybuckentime4838]

Word of advice: click on EVERYTHING in the cabin. You never know what you'll find...

[@kholo.]

devolver games are hidden gems

[@AvanToor]

The goat is a Dark Ritual

[@BuddyArmstrong5445]

Yes! Inscryption! I love this game

[@mrblub9327]

love these custom intros

[@ananydwivedi6640]

ohh so excited for this one!

[@tomesofawesome8041]

This game is fantastic and breaks the 4rth wall so badly, that Deadpool would cry. However, the ARG is no longer doable. So when you beat the game, you can react to Matpat's Game theory. He did a trilogy that covers the whole ARG game.

[@Ludeloth]

I am so stocked for this.

[@Truestoned0]

Finally I knew this was coming looking for to this

[@Beaurisque]

Oof! Mistakes were made (a lot!) but i'm here for it !

[@Vincinate]

So hyped for this!!!

[@Galvatron713]

No spoilers let's go! I'm excited.

[@rodneybuckentime4838]

I just _know_ this is gonna be good.

[@joaquinbaume1291]

NO WAAAAYYY THANK YOU SO MUCH MAPO!!!!!!!!!!

[@joaquinbaume1291]

this one will be great

[@besoindunpseudo4144]

How Can you lose the first 2 tutorial fights ...

[@RevolutionaryOven]

Oh damn, you're doing /this/? Now you've gotten yourself into the Daniel Mullins rabbit hole, and are now OBLIGATED to play his other games. I can't WAIT to see how you react to all his stuff

[@nastia_no]

Wow that intro goes hard

[@thegnjoy]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@DasKatze500]

Just played 2hrs myself and stopped. Loved the card game, love the vibes - roguelikes just aren’t for me. Do not have the patience. Super happy instead to experience the game vicariously through one of my favourite Let’s Players! Looking forward to this, Mapo

[@kholo.]

oh my. What a wonderful day

[@barrelboi439]

This is gonna be epic

[@eliam9644]

nice twist on the intro

[@BATTIS94]

Oh my god! YES! Love this game.
