It's the only incident of swearing within the game.When he is finally confronted by Amanda in the ending he dies without even having the possibility to run or fight back. Non-Action Guy: He might be a pretty skilled card player with some tech-savvy knowledge who can beat the in-game characters of Inscryption through his card game abilities, but in "real life," he's an Unlucky Everydude who is both incapable of fighting and unwilling to do so, given how the moment GameFuna comes after him he hides from them and avoids direct contact as much as possible.He gets shot in the head in his own home for his trouble.

Genre Blindness: After discovering an obscure, surreal game which appears to hold a dark secret, what does Luke do? Why, contact the same video game company that created this game of course!
