Leshy's part of the end really got to me. You spend the entire beginning of the game seeing him as this scary villain, but by the end you realize that he just wanted to have fun playing this card game with you. Despite the antagonistic role he played at first, that last duel truly feels like sitting down to have one last game with an old friend.

[@diyarisalim6794]

I feel like leshy is just a guy with his cards. Nothing else. Leshy has (technically) tortured lots of people, by dying in a card game YOU die. I remember hearing a quote saying "youre true self appears when racing death" he just wanted to play cards in the end. He just never got bored of it Also leshy would be a AMAZING DM

I was genuinely happy when Mark went back and Leshy was still there. He went from crazy captor to someone I feel like, were it real life, I’d have a blast playing with (excluding the whole death thing). I was honestly surprised that I was sad durning his goodbye, I never expected the one who started out as a villain to be a character that has a bittersweet and relatively simple yet heartfelt goodbye.

[@robthesaboteur]

"No matter. We don't need to keep score." At that moment i realized how much Leshy didn't give a hell about what happened. He legit just wanted to enjoy playing a card game. That's probably why Kaycee chose him, because he didn't have some twisted ultimate motive other than to play the game. Whereas P03 wanted to be the center of attention, Grimora wanted to burn it all down, and Magnificus was in a world of his own.

Act 3 is definitely less fun than the first act, though it's kind of intentional in a way, showing that P03 just doesn't value good storytelling as much and he's basically just using the player to ensure he or at least one of his copies remains in charge. I mean act 3 is still fun, of course, especially when you get to make your own cards and you get to use the new elements like the mox gems, but nothing beats act 1. Sacrificing cards to put their sigils on your favorites, increasing a card's health or attack, etc. It's a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to the full release of Kaycee's mod.

the main things you missed, from what I remember are: - the final holo-pelt, of course - solving the goo mage puzzle (I think at least one of the other sigils is in the cuckoo clock in p03's room) - the key you received from the mycologists in act 2 can be used to access a "secret boss" in act 3, via a hidden arrow - accessing the secret crypt in grimora's lair in act 2 (the relic you got can be used as an offering to access it) there's no other ending to the game (though things maybe slightly different depending on what you have/haven't completed, I'm not sure). the one you got is the true ending though, despite missing a few things. ALSO, the dev has released an official mod for the game, called "kaycee's mod", that basically turns the first act of the game (leshy's cabin) into an actual infinite roguelike. it's currently in beta and new stuff is being added pretty consistently. it's very fun, and I think you'd enjoy it!

There's also a whole hidden game in the game which gives you coordinates for a real inscryption disk that was dig up in the real world. You can access encrypted files in the disk game itself. Anyway, there's a deeper stuff here but not the one you'd expect and hardly something you can make a let's play video out of

[@ryanor2081]

So no one’s going to talk about the fact, that this poor man, who was just a card set opener, had investigated this cursed game he didn’t understand trying to find out what was so special about it, only for it to cost his life in the end.

I gotta admit I jumped when that happened, I did not expect him to get literally shot.

I honestly just think most people don’t care about Luke, but yeah, it was fucked up seeing that ending.

personally, i cared for luke. i understood what was being said when "we'll both be meeting our makers soon" was said. do i feel terrible for him and his loved ones, his channel? yes, absolutely. but what i want is to know more. Did the game fully get deleted?

[@mak4108]

I'm not sure if anyone actually noticed this, but when rewatching the video after a while, I couldn't help but feel that when the player shakes Grimora's hand it looks almost apprehensive, like they're afraid they'll dissapear with her, while with Leshy, it feels almost confident, like you're shaking a friend's hand for the last time before they leave...

I thought he was your friend", clearly projecting his feelings onto the player. Also he definitely cared for his disciples, but how could he care enough when he sees the future, including his own fate?

The thing is Leshy didn't even change. We just slowly come to realize that he's genuinely just playing a part to try to make you enjoy the game more. When you realize he knows he's a game character, killing the player goes from him being a psychopath to him keeping up the atmosphere as he makes you start a new run. The masks make more sense as you realize he's just being the best DM he can be, especially contrasted against PO3's style. Everything he does is to make the experience more immersive for the player. Honestly I think the moment PO3 started half-assing the storytelling is the moment a lot of players went "you know, I kinda preferred how Leshy did this... Oh."

[@Sylfa]

It's a really excellent epilogue to the game. Except for Magnificus, that bush has some serious issues considering what he put his pupils through just for a chance of being rewarded… Not even sure if you can actually shake his hand, I assume you can move forward at that point and shake his hand but, not gonna try 😋

[@aaronmatherly9602]

Leshy managed to have enough personality for me to get attached. I feel as if I respected him somehow. Fantastic game experience. The best I've had since HL2 and Portal.

[@absentzz347]

For anyone wondering, this game goes so much deeper, as there's a whole ARG that is currently being solved by the community (or it may already be solved at this point idk), which connects this game to other games Daniel Mullins has created such as Pony Island. Honestly to put this much thought and passion into the core game and then some, while still having a fun metagame for the more dedicated to dive into is just such an astronomical show of dedication that should be recognized. One of the only complaints I have heard from people playing the game for their first time is that they wish that there was more time to play each chapter and spend more time in each unique setting. And honestly in my eyes that's one of the best criticisms a game developer can get for their game, because it shows that although the game doesn't do too much apart from playing cards, it does it in a way that is so addicting that people just don't want to stop playing it. It's just as much of a praise to the developer as it is a criticism of the game, and it is so heartwarming to see Daniel and his team receive this much deserved praise. I really hope this game wins some sort of award this year. It deserves nothing less.

It has been solved. It had some more lore for the game as a reward. There's videos on the topic available. Can't remember the youtuber's channel name though.

[@SkeleGem]

I feel both the sections with Grimora and Magnificus would’ve been a lot more powerful to us as players if we could have played their individual parts and gotten more time with them. Let Grimora do her fun chess games and roleplay with the skulls, wander around Magnificus’s tower and fight his pupils as he changes his head to theirs in each boss fight. Both of their sections have some rough elements that would need to be polishing up (especially gems, those things aren’t fun right now), but they have so much potential. I partially wonder if they were cut for budgetary/time constraint reasons since they already had elements fully working, and then reworked into the finale since they still had something… But despite all that… it feels fitting that we never got to fight them. The journey wasn’t about fighting all of the scrybes and experiencing their puzzles. Is was about the transcendence, the mystery of this game, the journey to get there. We never got to fight them… because the point was to end the game, not complete it.

It's amazing how Leshy feels like a villain in the beginning.

At the end of the world, he would like to do nothing else.. than play cards. The Guardian of a terrible truth. I think we all mistook you for a Villain, Leshy, And I'm so sorry. And now, at the end of times: we realize you were the Hero. Good Game, my friend.

Watching that livestream and it suddenly being actually gone a few seconds after they pressed the button was really the closest feeling those "meta - messing with your files and deletion" games evoke, in real life. In our actual world, where everything is copied and saved - something like this, just pulling the plug felt so different. Just imagine in like 20 years some of those episodes, less popular ones perhaps, might be considered "Lost Media" - but you KNOW there are some people out there who downloaded every episode and it is up to them to save the videos in a way that lasts. Interesting to think about.

[@finnhobart9100]

I'll admit, I got a little emotional at the Leshy part. I think of all the Scrybes, he was the best. Yes, he did some terrible things, but for one, the others were worse. Magnificus controlled and tortured those who were loyal to him in excess for seemingly no reason. P03 was obsessed with the Great Transcendence and cared not for the lives of anyone. Grimora may seem to be decently kind, but I feel that it masks an inner desire for death and the withering of all things, with a sunnier demeanor brought by the knowledge that it is inevitable. Of them all, Leshy was the only one who both understood and appreciated what they were doing. He was the only one who knew that Inscryption was a game meant to be experienced, and the only one who tried to make that happen. With Leshy an immersive and at least enjoyable story was being told, beyond the ambitions and obsessions of the other. Magnificus wanted knowledge and dominance over the game. P03 wanted to go beyond it. Grimora wanted to destroy it. Leshy only desired to play it. That's why his leaving is the saddest to me. He worked hard to honor the idea of the game, and only wants to enjoy it a little longer. It makes me sentimental. When he speaks in that last section it's almost like you're able to speak to the game itself, interacting with it directly. As he tries to keep the game going as it all collapses he speaks to that inner desire we all have as players just to have fun, to tap into joy and imagination and be free of the tribulations of the world, and the sadness that pervades us when it gets taken away. Stripped of everything, all Leshy wanted was what we wanted: to lose oneself in a good game. It's poetic really.

[@black_velvet_4354]

You do realize Leshy made everyone that loses to him an actual card- how is that the best…… Grimora is literally by far the nicest and the one with the best intentions.

[@finnhobart9100]

@@black_velvet_4354 As I already explained, Grimora only *seems* to be the nicest in my view. What she really wants is for it all to die. She only has a good attitude because she knows that it cannot be avoided, which gives her a sense of calm about it. I acknowledge that Leshy was wrong to do what he did with the cards, I'm just observing that some of his other characteristics overcome that.

[@sashimimisha]

Leshy also mostly just put on an antagonistic persona to make his game interesting, he didn't actually kill anyone, he killed the player avatars which he knew weren't the actual player He DID turn the other Scrybes into cards, but that was to pacify them so they didn't take control P03 wanted to spread his influence and succeeded (uploaded the game to Steam) Magnificus wanted power and perfection Grimora wanted to end it all Leshy just wanted to provide a cool story and have fun

[@sashimimisha]

@@black_velvet_4354 He only killed "Challengers" (your avatars as a player) not actual players The deathcards like Reginald and Kaycee are people that already got inscrybed into the game via dying IRL and getting taken by the OLD_DATA (probably what happened to Luke at the end too)
