Inscryption Shirt: Colours, Fits and What to Pick

Inscryption's fifth anniversary and Halloween land in the same week. Here's how the two shirts actually differ, how they fit, and where the black dad cap slots in.

Overview

Inscryption's fifth anniversary landed on October 19, and Halloween is this Saturday. That's the week the "what do I actually wear" question gets urgent - and it's the reason a straight answer about the shirt lineup beats another gallery of product shots.

The store keeps the apparel tight: two shirt designs at $26.00 and $29.99, plus a black dad cap at $35.99 that a lot of people pair with either one. Here's what each piece actually is, how the fits shake out, and which one makes sense depending on whether you're buying for a party, a stream, or a Tuesday in November.

Everything below ships from the official Inscryption store, so sizes and stock are the same as the listings.

The Shirts, Side by Side

Blacklight Inscryption card T Shirt$26.00BlackCard art built around a blacklight effectEvenings, UV rooms, Halloween
Broken P03 \Inscryption$29.99BlackCracked P03 portraitDaylight, cons, everyday wear

Both are black. That isn't laziness - Inscryption runs on candlelight, bone and shadow, and the merch follows the game's palette. If you were holding out for a bone-white or sepia tee, the current lineup doesn't have one.

Blacklight Inscryption Card T Shirt - $26.00

The whole point of this one is the effect. The card artwork is designed to sit quiet in normal light and jump under UV, which makes it a shirt for specific rooms: arcade bars, club nights, a friend's garage with a strip light taped to a shelf. It's also the obvious pick for Saturday, when half the people you know will be standing in the dark anyway.

At $26.00 it's the cheaper of the two, which makes it the low-risk way to test the store's sizing before you commit to a $29.99 piece.

Broken P03 | Inscryption - $29.99

P03 is the Scrybe who spends the game's third act trying to take the whole thing over from inside his own factory, and the "broken" treatment is him after the plan comes apart. If you finished Inscryption, you know exactly which beat this nods at. If you didn't, it still reads as a robot with its face split open, which is a perfectly good look for a shirt.

This is the daylight one. It works at a locals night, at a con, on a normal week.

Fit Notes

Both tees are cut as standard unisex shirts, so the useful advice is: order your normal size and don't overthink it. If you want the print to sit lower on the chest instead of right across it, sizing up gets you there without drowning in fabric.

Two things worth knowing before checkout:

  • Wash cold, inside out. Black cotton prints fade at the edges first, and the blacklight design has the most to lose from a hot cycle.
  • The mock-up caveat. Product images are mock-ups, which the listings state plainly. Print placement can shift a little from what you see on screen. That's normal for game merch and it isn't a defect.

For the cap, the blank is the S&S Activewear Classic Dad Hat 6245CM in black - unstructured crown, curved brim, adjustable strap at the back. It folds flat into a bag, which matters if you're carrying it to a show.

The Cap That Finishes It

The Devolver Y'all Means All Cap | Inscryption is $35.99, and it's worth being straight about what it is. The design comes out of Devolver Digital's Pride capsule, made with UK tattoo artist Love Rat, and 100% of the proceeds go to Trans Lifeline - the grassroots hotline and microgrants organisation offering direct emotional and financial support to trans people in crisis, run by and for the trans community.

The artwork is Devolver-wide rather than Inscryption-specific. If you're hunting for Leshy, Grimora or Magnificus stitched onto a crown, this isn't that hat. What it is: a black dad hat that goes with both shirts, from the publisher that put Inscryption out, with the money going somewhere that does real work.

Inscryption's hat collection is short, so this one carries that section almost by itself.

One Small Add-On

The Black Coat Inscryption sticker is $7.99. Small, cheap, and the sort of thing that ends up on a laptop lid or a deck box within a week rather than in a drawer. If you're already paying shipping on a shirt, it barely moves the total.

If You're Deciding Right Now

A few honest shortcuts:

  • Buying for Saturday specifically? The Blacklight shirt. A blacklight effect needs a dark room to do anything, and Saturday supplies one.
  • Buying one shirt you'll wear weekly? Broken P03. It holds up in daylight and the reference lands with anyone who's played past Act 2.
  • Buying for someone else and unsure of size? The cap. The 6245CM blank with an adjustable strap is far more forgiving than guessing a tee size.
  • Just finished Kaycee's Mod and want a souvenir? Broken P03 again - the free roguelike expansion keeps people in P03's world long after the credits, and that's the shirt that matches it.

Where to Buy

All of it sits on the official Inscryption store - shirts, the cap, stickers, the rest of it. If you want to see how the pieces look next to each other before picking, explore the full collection instead of jumping between categories. Stock and size runs move, so check the listing before you lock in a size.

If you're only picking up one thing this week, the Blacklight shirt is the one that fits the moment - Halloween on Saturday, a game built on darkness, a price that won't sting. If you'd rather have something you'll wear in daylight and feel decent about where the money goes, the Devolver Y'all Means All Cap | Inscryption is the better place to start.

FAQ

Do the Inscryption shirts run true to size?

Yes - both are cut as standard unisex tees. Order your normal size for a regular fit, or go up one if you want the print sitting lower on the chest.

Is the Blacklight shirt actually reactive under UV?

The design is built around a blacklight effect, so the card art is meant to pop in UV light and stay subdued in normal light. Check the listing photos before buying, since product images are mock-ups and placement can vary slightly.

Is the Y'all Means All cap Inscryption merch or Devolver merch?

It's Devolver Digital's Pride capsule design, made with UK tattoo artist Love Rat, sold through the Inscryption store. The artwork isn't game-specific, but it pairs with both shirts.

How much of the cap price goes to Trans Lifeline?

100% of the proceeds from the product go to Trans Lifeline, the grassroots hotline and microgrants non-profit supporting trans people in crisis.

Can I wear these outside of October?

Easily. Broken P03 works year-round. The Blacklight shirt is more situational, but it's still a black tee with card art on it - it just does its best work after dark. - -
