as someone who literally played this game because of Markiplier, Inscryption literally scared me because of this one boss that threatend to delete a file that was actually precious to me

Vor year
Squeak The Swan +1269
Squeak The Swan

It doesn't actually delete the file, as the game could be considered malware if it did. However, deleting the file anyway (or maybe just moving it to the recycling bin or somewhere else where you can restore it later) will get you an achievement, or at least that's what I heard. I never got to the point where it needs to be deleted, but the online guides say that.

@Squeak The Swan I can confirm this, what I have read or/and heard game makes "copy" of that file you choose and names it something like [file's original name]_deleted_file.txt (that includest text that says something like "I don't have enough access to delete the file, but you better delete it for fair gameplay" and if you delete (or atleast move) that copy and the original file, then you get that achievement and little easteregg conversation about that with the robot

I choose a pdf of call of cthulhu, because they asked for an old file and it was the oldest in the folder I opened. I didn't feel like browsing much. so I had a card named call of cthulhu. which the boss described as "ancient one". it was funny.

Slight correction on the theory: Leshy wasn’t chosen by Kaycee specifically, he just happened to find the OLD_DATA first and used it to take control of the game. P03 does the same thing with the Dredger which is how he gains control in the third act. Ultimately not playing is still the correct answer. Beating Leshy allows the other Scrybes the chance to find the data first and take control.

Vor year
MoonlitxAngel +33
MoonlitxAngel

I saw something listed in information that breaks down the ARG that mentioned Kaycee chose Leshy to act as a guard for the OLD_DATA, so I'm pretty sure he's correct and he's in control because of Kaycee. She was a game dev after all. Wouldn't surprise me if she intentionally allowed him to have control so that the other three couldn't try and take over. At bare minimum, there's no way she'd just leave it to random chance and hope.

@MoonlitxAngel Except we have confirmation she didn't. In the official update called Kaycee mod it states she reloaded the game to find it changed itself leaving Leshy in charge. She had no control over that aspect.

@Just a fluff ball the explanation the arg disc found was that kaycee specifically chose leshy to be in control cause if the game was ever found he would try to keep it in its altered form. its called kaycee mod cause its the version of the game kaycee manipulated into existence. If it wasn't as a result of her manipulation why on earth would it be called kaycee mod? The angler also mentioned that he once caught the OLD_FISH (OLD_DATA), and gave it to leshy. How come he never caught it again? because the rest of the characters cant actually access the file, kaycee specifically allowed him access to it.

Leshy was also described by magnificus as a simple beast, making sense why he only cares about playing cards. In all honesty, everything started to fall apart because we chose to trust the other Scrybes and help them twart him.

You never realize how useful the Stoat is until you play Kaycee's Mod, where the Stoat is a 1|1/2 instead of a 1|1/3 For reference, the Bullfrog is a 1|1/2, but with Sigil of Mighty Leap.

@Actual Pie thanks. But I already found out by now. It's quite fun. But the sigil that creates a copy of a card when you play it, insanely broken. Add the one where the card is summoned when another card dies, full board forever. I added both to the ant queen, and by chance also got the tentacle that gets stronger based on the card in your hand. Killed the moon in 2 or 3 turns. So basically... ALWAYS get the rats

Bonus layer to the game without getting too deep into the ARG: Luke Carder is implied to be an actor playing a character NAMED Luke Carder, who serves as the player character. You're not really playing as him, he's created to lead you to the conclusion a certain someone wants.

Strange, he didn't comment about Magnificus's motives, he kinda forgot about the poor guy. Oh, and here's an interesting point? After you snap the picture of Leshy, you can find the bodies of the other Scrybes in his cabin, the easiest to see being Magnificus. P03 looks like a metal chest in-behind the crates, and I forget where Grimora's corpse is.

Did you know that the background text in the final fragment is in Polish? Leshy is a demone / god of the forest from Slavic mythology, so it's no wonder - one of the creators is probably Polish. Before the next episode, I would recommend you to hire a Polish translator ... or google translate 😉

I think the amount of folklore is interesting. Both more obscure stuff that I learned about through the game like the Urayuli and the Ijiraq or more well known stuff like Mothman, Long Horse, and the Jersey Devil.

Vor year
Joanna Szymańska +6
Joanna Szymańska

@Revenant Proxy Yea. Jersey Devil is a yeti-like and bigfoot cryptid. The Long Horse is a creature created by Trevor Henderson for his world. Mothman is a cryptid / folklore from West Virginia, although most know it from popular horror movie. I hope that if creators want to release the next part of the game, they will refer to folklore again. Slavic folklore. Why? Because there is a character (my favorite) who contains the horror of the dark forest (like Leshy), magic (like Magnificus), extensive knowledge about the world that goes far beyond the typically human understanding (like P03) and power over death / necromancer skills (like Grimora)....And lives in REALLY cool cabin ;)

@Revenant Proxy Ah, and there is also the Blue Man. It is mentioned in the conversation with the Trader in the third act. The Blue Man is a creepypasta character (and perhaps folklore - I'm not sure) bringing misfortune to anyone who interacts with him ... Just like Old Data. Really fits the game lore.

Honestly, I think it was destined. Everyone else knew they were through. Grilles accepted her actions, Leshy got one last game in with someone her probably considers a friend- but Magnificus had HUBRIS.

Kaycee didn't leave Leshy in charge. In part 2, the fisherman tells you he made Leshy very happy because he caught the "old_fish." Also, when you're in the wizard's tower, you can move into the corners on some floors and will pass through a secret doorway. One of them puts you in a room with a giant DOD id hanging there of that guy from the redacted files.

I don't know if someone already mentioned it, but even the name of the game hints at the "Seal" as mat puts it. while the name Inscryption sounds like it's talking about inscribing something, like the creation of the cards, removing the "s" gets you Incryption, which is a method used to hide data. neat little easter egg hidden within the name that helps expose a little bit of the hidden lore

Hey MatPat. Something you might have missed. Reginald (the middle name of the man who is seen on the Id after unpacking the old data) is actually also a character card in act 1. I just thought to tell you in case it’s important.

All I can think of (considering the high quality of the 3D models that are used in the game) is that it’s possible that GameFuna made a high-capacity (for a floppy) data storage device that looks like a floppy disk (do we know if Luke used an actual floppy drive?). Either that or OLD_DATA has something to do with it (it’s pretty blatantly supernatural in nature, who’s to say it’s not messing with the floppy itself?).

At least with the act 3 boss it knows how easy it is to softlock so that the bonus rules eventually turn off if you take too long.

That's actually the best rule if you pick the right ones to go with it. You can set it up so that it only plays L33pbots when you play something, like, say, an Empty Vessel, thus blocking him from being able to play anything until you play something that can actually do damage and kill a L33pbot.

Maybe it's just an interpretation of mine, or I've forgotten something, but I think it is Leshy's camera itself that's magic, but it still needs regular film like any other. Basically, I imagine it works the same as the Camera Obscura from Fatal Frame.

@Potato Tower Not the room where you take the picture of leshy and get the new game card. The weird one you get put in after taking the new game card. The one thats weirdly dark and has some strange light that you cant reach.

@Andy Lugo Those are the same room. It's implied that the New Game card was the flickering light source in the room, so it only makes sense that once you've taken it everything is dark.

@Ubi thats bs, because its dark with a light at the end past a spot where you can’t walk through. it looks nothing like the backroom where you get the card and has two corners blocked by bookshelves. you can reach those by going back one space before moving left or right. the new game card is gone so there should be no light at all and it’s very clearly not a candle

I"m sure someone else has mentioned this already, but Luke Carder *knew* Kaycee. He just didn't know her family. In the photos that get uncovered as you go through the third act (SPOILERS): Luke and Kaycee grew up together and shared an interest in collecting cards and playing card games. Luke started the Lucky Carder channel after Kaycee's death, as a means of coping with his grief.

i hope this game and The Hex (another daniel mullins game) are connected somehow. the line about the “blue man” from act 3 could be taking about Irving, a Hex character, and several of the games mentioned in the lucky carder segments are references to The Hex (Secrets of Legendaria was the one that caught my eye). idk, i really love both these games and it would be so cool if they were connected.
