Inscryption is a metafictional game that revolves around found footage that you watch which shows the experiences of a vlogger that stumbled across a video game called Inscryption, which holds a number of strange secrets.
As you interacts with a mysterious dealer in a dark cabin, you will find further secrets that expose more of the history of the fictional Inscryption. Inscryption is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch, and PC.
Below is a collection of hints and tips that will help you to progress in the game. These include why you need to make death cards and why the Ouroborus is the most powerful card in the game.
Dying in Inscryption is part of the gaming experience, it is something that needs to continually happen in order for you to succeed as Leshy will purposely play more powerful cards if you advance too quickly.
When you die, you will be able to make a death card. The death card you make will be determined by what cards you have in your hand at the time of your death.
Leshy will pull cards from your deck and let you choose the cost of the card, the health, power, and any sigils. There is always a possibility that you will be able to make a powerful card. The more you lose, the more death cards you will be able to make.
At first glance the Ouroborus looks like a useless card as it starts with one damage and one health. Don't underestimate this card, it bears the unkillable sigil meaning if it dies or is sacrificed, it will return to your hand.
This means it gains one damage and health every time it returns to your hand. If you play your cards right, you can level up your Ouroborus and make it the most powerful card in your deck.
Keep in mind that there are plenty of hidden hints all around Leshy's cabin. Look at the paintings on the wall and try to match up the cards as these are two of the many ways in which you can reveal the hints that will help you win.
