Video Game Track Bracket Round 2

HEAVY DAY from Guilty Gear Xrd Sign

vs.

The Scrybe of Magicks from Inscryption

Propaganda under the cut. If you want your propaganda reblogged and added to future polls, please tag it as propaganda or otherwise indicate this!

Note: The propaganda may contain spoilers for Inscryption.

HEAVY DAY:

A theme so incredible, they incorporated it into all the super-cinematic finishers.

The Scrybe of Magicks:

The tonal whiplash of this song playing during the credits after everything you just witnessed was one of the most astonishing moments I've ever had playing a game. I just sat there with my mouth agape for a few moments before the funny lonely wizard came on screen and I started focusing on his ballet skills instead of the existential dread. 10/10 would watch a world fall apart again.

[beetleskeleton]

A small bit to a large piece of the puzzle of the Scrybes being autistic:

Notice how none of them use an overhead light?

P03 could easily use overhead lights for the factory, but no, blue LEDs up and down the halls. While researching though, the light overhanging the table in act 3 could be an overhead light, but let’s be honest, it’s so dim it’s really hard to tell. Grimora, in both acts 2 and 3, is depicted with candles with a green flame. She could use something brighter, install a lamp perhaps, but she chooses candles. It could be for aesthetic reasons, which is a likely possibility. But in context of this argument, it could be both.

Leshy does use lanterns as depicted in all three acts of the game, however, they are candle lit. This and the fact that Leshy is the only Scrybe that uses the Old Data to keep himself in the dark, so to speak. Although that can be argued to be just for “ambiance” and “mystery”, it could also factor with this too.

For Magnificus, there’s a bit of an odd bit with his final fight in act 3 with it being taken place in a literal white, glaring void. But in act 2, he uses both candles and natural light from windows. Also for act 3, he didn’t exactly choose to be there, and he definitely didn’t want to be in that place to begin with.

No overhead lights. They icky.

Happy New Year and Blessed be Atua! (nice work if you got that reference....)

Here's all the pieces from this year, I'll be adding more to the wall across 2025 and 2026!

[aria0fgold]

REALLY DUDE??? Following the coordinates written in pen on a resealed pack from a garage sale you got and of course the very card that's written on is a SKELETON CARD. Yeah sure, follow the coordinates on a card with a skeleton on it, always a smart move.

[ship-of-skitties]

Inscryption (PS5)

An interesting little game about game design which sacrifices mechanical elegance and overall tidiness so that it can expose the difficulties in designing and balancing a deckbuilding card game, and particularly how extra mechanics can give players an assist without undermining tone or intent. It's a little hard to describe how the trick works without spoiling some of the fun, but suffice to say that this horror-tinged roguelike card battling game is more welcoming than that combination of words implies. Well worth a quick look if you've got one of the subscription services where it's currently free.

SPOILERS below:

So this is very clearly a game about trying to prototype and execute a good computer card game. Throughout, it revels in letting you discover and exploit overpowered combos, and ultimately best the game through breaking the design. If this was trying to be the next Magic the Gathering, it would be an unbalanced disaster, but as a lesson in game design, and as a way to encourage the player to think carefully about the way cards interact, it's very effective.

Starting at that first fully-developed act in Leshy's cabin, we're presented with a very nicely balanced and mechanically nuanced roguelike deckbuilder which requires careful thought to progress, plus the occasional leg up from the items around the cabin. This is by far the most challenging part of the game, perhaps a bit too much so. The Failure dialogue implies you're meant to have bested Leshy multiple times before you discover the trick that will let you break out of his loop, but I've yet to encounter a player who didn't have all the necessary stuff unlocked when they first reached him. There are mechanics here that can be exploited for an easier win - unkillable squirrels, say - but they're rare enough to be unpredictable.

Nevertheless, this sets a baseline for what comes next. Here's this game as its best self, you've had a satisfying time mastering it, and then you find yourself somewhere else entirely.

The second act is game design at war with itself. Every conceivable mechanic for the game is on display, and also immediately at hand in your deck, and it makes intentional play and deck design almost impossible. I think this is entirely intentional, an opportunity to see the different prototypes of what would become Inscryption literally fighting it out. It's initially maddening, and methodical players will be frustrated by the fractious decks they're forced to assemble in the early rounds and the lack of explanation of how the new mechanics work.

However it's also clear that this interlude is not meant to be played with care and deliberation. There's an "autofill" option for deck design; battles can be repeated at will; and the actual challenge level is considerably lower, aligned to the Pokemon style graphics. This is a game to be hashed through, a quick guided tour of all the possibilities that this particular card game format could offer, and an explicit narrative instruction that only one of these possible designs can "win".

So we get in to Act 3 and that toad P03 clearly bullshitting his way through his game's narrative, but carefully and gently re-introducing each of the mechanics used in act 2. Here is another way Inscryption could've turned out, we see. The return of the locked room puzzles from the cabin emphasises this, but they're noticably toned down, presumably so as not to interfere with the arch rules beard's vision for how everything will play out.

For all that it's aesthetically apalling and narratively unsatisfying, P03's version is a genuinely excellent card game in its own right, demonstrating that the rules we encountered previously could've worked in harmony. That realisation adds to the bittersweet tone of the finale as the rest of the Scrybes reluctantly embrace the void. Leshy's final duel is actually touching, and the quick excursions to the two other possible game styles draw a tidy line under a very untidy game.

Exposing its own design process and integrating that material in to the story and structure makes Inscryption a bumpy ride, and will alienate players who buy strongly in to the refinement and style of the first act, but it's a unique journey. I was less convinced by the overarching meta-narrative about a CCG player who discovers the game is a bit of a dud, and would've been improved if some of the more foundational information from the game's ARG were included. "The game's disk was home to a malign force" could've been on the critical path somewhere. However these are little details around the edges of a confident fusion of process, play, and storytelling.

[beetleskeleton]

So um

For funzies, I made a tutorial on how to make your own monster wanderer. This is just for anyone who may want to do something fun with their Inscryption ocs or challenger sonas. Maybe Scrybes and subordinates too if you're feeling spicy. This is all in good fun and by no means am I forcing anyone to do it. Again, this is just for anyone who wants it :)

Stuff is under cut for length!

[Step 1: Get your character of choice!]

[Step 2: Wanderer time]

[Step 3: Add the monster features you want for them to have.]

[Step 4: Make em spooky! Make em scary! Go crazy!]

[Step 5: Have fun with your spooky dead character :)]

---

[Extra notes!]

-The body is completely black or at least dark save for their eyes, prominent features and any wounds telling of their death/scars.

-Make scars and wounds gnarly. Can add onto the spook factor if one so chooses.

-Dark color and eye color changes based on their residence, visuals are provided.

-Certain features of their character can be used in their monster wanderer form. Things like wings for those with more airborne qualities, waterborne could have fins, gills and other aquatic features. Tribes could also factor into this too, like insect tribe leaning wanderers could have mouth pincers or extra eyes(<- eyes example seen in fifth step).

-Make them as aggressive or as passive as you want. Lurkers are the ones that tend to be more aggressive (think vengeful spirits) and Wanderers tend to be more passive, only really attacking when provoked.

-Challengers (or whoever) can become a monster wanderer under certain circumstances without needing to die. Mostly in extremely emotionally distressing situations (like seeing red in rage or being highly panicked).

Anyways, have fun with this and have a good rest of your day/night!

[raiseupyourbat]

Update: died to the angler and then again to a random battle, then discovered just how helpful stinky squirrels are and absolutely destroyed the angler lol

Me: ooooh I think I'm gonna download inscryption onto my laptop and try it again! Pretty sure I died a ton early on and I've reset my laptop since so I probably don't even have my save file-

... WAIT OKAY I DIDN'T REALISE I'D GOT THIS FAR ACTUALLY WHAT

[favcharacterpoll]

ROUND TWO, MATCH ONE HUNDRED AND SIX: MIA VS. P03

Mia Fey from Ace Attorney faces P03 from Inscryption. Who do you like more?

Mia Propaganda:

"she is a lawyer she is a ghost she has tits she is an older sister"

"i was definitly in denial about being gay for her when i was youbger"

"Also literally the power move this woman pulls from beyond the grave in the first fucking game. Imagine if Reddit’s CEO had blackmailed dozens of politicians, celebrities, and businesspeople to the point of suicide and gotten away with it every. Single. Time. A man who pays off the police and prosecutors and can swing trials however he wants. And he kills a woman who knows it’s him and has the evidence to put it together. He gets rid of that evidence! He frames the woman’s younger sister and also her protégée! He’s going to destroy what’s left of her family the same way he destroyed her mother.

And then this woman comes into the courtroom via spirit medium at the eleventh hour of this doomed trial. No one but her protégée and the younger sister even know she’s there. She stares her killer dead in the eyes as he gloats on the witness stand and she says the names of the people he’s killed. Every single one. She remembers every fucking name and she uses them to grind this evil man down to a shell of his former self until he b e g s her to stop. She dies at this man’s hands but she REFUSES to let him win.

All this in the second case of the first game.

Vote Mia."

"CANNOT BELIEVE THE MIA PROPAGANDA DOES NOT INCLUDE THE BISEXUALITY

SHE IS LITERALLY SAID TO BE ATTRACTED TO ANOTHER WOMAN AND SHE HAS A HOT BF IN OTHER FLASHBACKS SHES MESSY SHES TRYING SHE LEFT BEHIND HER LITTLE SISTER AND CARES SO SO MUCH ABOUT PEOPLE HER MOTHER VANISHED AND IT TRAUMATIZED HER AND SHES BUCKWILD IN COURT AND IT WORKS"

"mia fey was the one that violently pulled me out of the hmmmm i likey women;;?? phase and into the woag;;;;; yeah i think im gay phase vote for my girl pls"

"she got fridged and her response was 'hm. no' she is the only reason phoenix wright survived most of his early trials"

"Please vote Mia she is extremely badass! She was phoenix's mentor. he was like her weird little teenage girl assistant. She died and she didn't let that stop her. She's a girlboss and she loves her family from beyond the grave."

P03 Propaganda:

"evil autism"

"p03 hath mine body and soul betwixed (it's a little rat bastard) but i love them for it"

-you are deeply uncomfortable if you see vore/stuffing posts (dont wanna risk seeing it? then pls dont follow!) not saying all my followers have to like it just dont follow if seeing the occasional post will make u rlly grossed out

-youre an asshole. come on have some standards just dont be weird... plss....

thanks
