Justified: He was awoken when he heard noises and likely sleeps shirtless. Shirtless Scene: Isn't wearing a shirt when filming his late-night video.Also, "Carder" is both a normal surname and a word used to designate a person who deals with card information and data.
#Inscryption golly full#
Punny Name: Alongside Ironic Name above, his online show is a pun on his full name, "Luke Carder," and the word "Lucky" in place of the first name.Precision F-Strike: Ends several videos with a completely justified "What the fuck?" When hearing someone sneak around his house at night, he says "Fuck this." These go uncensored, while P03's swearing in-game is.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. No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: After Inscryption's deletion, he attempts to bring the secret behind the "OLD_DATA" to life and the content GameFuna hid in it.Killed Mid-Sentence: "I told you-" ''' (BLAM)'''.And given what happens to him by the end of the game, the name becomes even more ironic. Ironic Name: In spite of his online show being named "The Lucky Carder," the few videos we see of him opening card packs don't paint a very lucky image of himself at all, with him only acquiring a single rare card which didn't have much value anyway.Idiot Ball: He just opens the door for the secret agent sent to kill him, after previously using a large amount of caution when talking to her and making a video where he says he expects he might get killed.Gory Discretion Shot: Amanda blows his head wide open at the end of the game to keep the secrets of her company and the OLD_DATA safe, but all we see is the camera's POV and a rapidly spreading pool of blood.Then again, going by real world logic, contacting the video game developer was arguably the most sensible action he could take - he just didn't realize he was in a psychological horror game with mystery elements and that it wasn't the in-game characters who were the real threat but the company that created them (And whatever OLD_DATA is) in the first place. 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! By the time he realizes that they have no interest in helping him whatsover and attempts to go public with his findings, they have already gotten fed up with him and he is killed by them to cover up their tracks.
