Note: This article is, quite obviously, full of spoilers for Inscryption. You should absolutely finish the game on your own first before reading further.

There's a lot more to Inscryption than first meets the eye. When you start the game, you find yourself in a mysterious cabin, forced to play a deck-building card game with a shadowy figure. Lose, and your opponent claims your life; your only goal is to stay alive long enough to solve the mysteries of the cabin so that you might find a way to ultimately escape.

But even if you do escape, that's only the beginning. Between the strange puzzles, the talking cards who appear to be other characters trapped in some sort of limbo, and the monstrous opponent who runs the show, there's much more to uncover about Inscryption. Once you've made it to the end, you might still find yourself confused about what's going on with the game's plot--lots of hints and tidbits are hidden by secrets you'll have to uncover, and there's actually a whole ongoing alternate reality game outside of Inscryption that players are still trying to puzzle out.
