Playing Leshy during the finale was easily one of my favorite, but saddest parts of the whole game. He gives you the deck that you won with in his version of the game, the same familiar music plays from Act 1, and these two lines: (The candlestick is deleted) "It's already starting. I thought we had just a bit more time..." "I sense the end approaching. Please... a few more rounds." We viewed Leshy as an evil character in Act 1, but that whole scene just feels like friends playing a card game.

[@fang4223]

I remember, at the start of act 2, I picked to replace Leshy for the same exact reason. "I will not give him a chance to do that again." or something else just as pretentious. And in those final moments, I keenly remember him saying that he felt honored that I picked him. That moment hit me in the heart.

[@amy_grace]

"We don't have to keep score" 😭

[@drewbabe]

I think the scrybes were, at worst, "normal" people with good and bad sides to them, but the fact that the disk they were on had all that supernatural stuff happening on it warped them. Maybe some were a little more on the bad side than others-I think P03 and Magnificus show cruelty towards their underlings, while Grimora and Leshy show kindness towards them-but they were cruel to each other at times, and at least in Magnificus' defense, everyone was cruel to Goobert. none of them were, like, inherently "serial killer" or "world domination" level evil, were it not for the Kartoffel code corrupting them. Leshy would have been fun, if a bit weird (I mean, his whole shtick involves lots of blood sacrifices...) if he wasn't, you know, trapping you in his cabin, making you pull your teeth out or gouge your eye out, and then stealing your soul. Even P03 seemed to care about the game being fun, even though most of his game was based around tricking you into doing stuff for him, and he was a petulant sore loser who looked down on you. He was a good heel. I get that Daniel Mullins doesn't really do sequels and that this game can't really *have* a sequel, at best it could only get Kaycee's mod type of updates to do roguelike runs with all the different scrybes, but I do wish there was a sequel of some kind. At the very least, I think taking the cards from Act 2 and turning them into a real TCG would be fun.

[@Lunapocrypha]

[@dustrose8101]

Kind of but also no. He didn't succeed in uploading Inscryption as Luke played it but a cobbled together version from Luke's Kamwerks files.

[@harodos3354]

@@dustrose8101 This. Something that I think people miss is that P03 still "won" to a degree. My head canon is that perhaps the OLD_DATA started corrupting Luke's PC, and since P03 wouldn't actually die from his moniter being broken so he might've been able to back himself up to the PC or something, then "cobbled" together a version of the game using the recordings, like you said. He managed to put it together in some way, but it required the usage of Luke's Kamwerks files. Edit: another thing that i just remembered is that if we were actually playing as Luke, then we would be able to see the section where the Bone Lord talks about how he's learned more about the OLD_DATA and says that he can't record it-it isn't shown to us because we're not playing as Luke, we're playing as ourselves with some weird overlap of Luke's recordings.

[@galtenoble]

​@0-M72-0 I'm pretty sure these types of games are specifically made for a community of people to figure out together. A mimicry of older times when information on the internet wasn't so abundant, and kids would often discuss games they were all playing at the time. If you were stuck, you'd ask your friends what they did, and vice versa, often beating games by helping each other. Nowadays, games wanting to recreate that feeling have to be more convoluted because it's no longer just you and your school yard friends. We have the experiences of thousands of people playing the game to draw from. Meaning for most modern games, secrets will be discovered within hours of release.

[@0-M72-0]

@ Thats why I’m saying you just need people to try everything. Because at this point you got so many people trying stuff they can do that.

[@haydes1285]

57:08 a note here, the game does NOT actually delete your file, as that would classify it as a virus and would thus be pulled from stores, what it does instead is create a note file within the same folder as the selected file complaining of PO3 complaining he can’t delete the file and asking you to do so for him, if you comply (or move the file to a different folder) he will actually comment on it in game and you will get an achievement for it. On console there’s a little Easter egg that since you use Luke’s PC instead of a real one and you can use vital files like system.32 and should they die the game will softlock. The archivist also had some other Easter eggs based on the file chosen, if it’s an image file they’ll display it, a sound file will play its sound, and if you choose one of Daniel Mullins’ games (including Inscryption) they’ll comment on it.

I got to the credits roll but didn't dig through the files, and I thought this was a game about letting go of your morbid curiosity and accepting that some things are better left untouched 😅 the act 1 roguelite gameplay is absolutely the most fun part of the game though. Without falling in love with the slay the spire like card game, nobody would've stuck around to find all the secrets of the game.

Not sure if it's mentioned in the comments already, but one of the major links between Inscryption and The Hex is the Gamefuna rep that kills Luke. During that scene, for a brief moment (when the camera glitches out) one of the characters from The Hex, Sado, appears on her face right before she shoots Luke. One of the secret endings for The Hex (found after completing another awesome ARG) shows Sado escaping. Awesome video I loved reliving the story of Inscryption!

[@camolotthe42]

For clarification, it's not every time you sacrifice the ouroborus: every time it dies to anything, including sacrifice, its stats permanently increment by one. This increase ignores everything short of starting the entire game over again, and the card can rapidly become exceedingly overpowered to the point of easily ending entire matches in one or two turns. Personally, I didn't have an adder: I used it to mulch the moon in just a couple turns. In addition, it'll just return to your hand if killed in any way, ready to be summoned again. Without a single doubt, it's the single most overpowered card in the game, with the Geck coming in second.

[@andresroncaglia7079]

what does the geck do to be overpowered??

[@camolotthe42]

@@andresroncaglia7079 In a game where everything costs something, the Geck costs nothing. You can play it the moment it enters your hand. Now, that doesn't immediately seem impressive, but the Geck can be powered up into a monster that ends matches in one or two turns if you draw it at the start. Imagine a Geck that has, say, 10 attack and the infinite perk, where it just goes back to your hand if killed. The moment it's killed, it goes right back onto the field and attacks again next turn, no sacrifice or bones needed.

[@oldusty523]

Fantastic video with amazing editing, but I wanted to point out that Leshy does remember the events in Act 1 while he's in Act 2.

[@ЄвгенКорякін]

Minor spoilers. For whatever reason, Inscryption hit me hard. First when I watched a lets-play on KZbin, next - when I finished it myself. The game itself, the visuals, the music, the cabin, the Moon... The Scrybes' tragedy, being created to constantly feud, yet not necessarily okay with it... The "good bye, good game", and the "I must still shake your hand". And all the sacrifices that must be made. I'm not great at the game (Kaycee's Mod whoops my ass), but boy did it (ring)worm its way into my heart. It's one of the great ones. Also, can we acknowledge how good Daniel Mullins is at creating stories? His games are often praised for their secrets and ARGs, but it must be pointed out that the games themselves are fantastic. I can't recommend The Hex enough, it's relatively short and simple, but so, so worth your time.

[@bonkjobbot3772]

Great video man and definitely brings back memories of me coming up with theories for this game. One small correction I would like to make is that, while it's unknown if GameFuna had any play during Luke's death. It is seen tho that the girl who killed Luke is actually a character from The Hex. Sado. You even see a frame of her face taking up the girl's face. Sado was a character created out of spite by one of Lionel's hired developers. Her purpose was to wreak havoc across Lionel's games. I had a theory about this game that Sado after being released into the real world at the end of The Hex. Sado hunted down the OLD_DATA to try and reactive a doomsday device somewhere in Berlin because it's what she was made for. So her killing Luke means she finally has the OLD_DATA, or what's left of it. P0-3 might have inventively actually helped us to put a stop to Sado's plan. Releasing the game online for people to witness what the OLD_DATA is, the players might be able to decode it and maybe disarm the device before Sado can reactivate it. This is just a shorter version of my theory, but definitely fun trying to piece it together.

Okay so, if I'm getting this straight: the game is a makeshift upload made by stoatboi out of video files, uploaded to steam after you-duder failed to break the actual pc, the bone lord is hitler and there's a code to a nuke somewhere in the game to destroy berlin, and the gametuna is a front for trying to do something with the code. Also the code is magic. What

[@glupstwo_zwyczajne]

also gamefunas CEO is Satan himself

[@antoniacorrales9148]

Holy. PEAK. I was IMMERSED the entire video. I've beaten the game before but I had no idea it went this deep. I'm glad to see that this game truly deserves to be in the top 10 games of all time, I've always felt like there was more to it.

[@neddeh24]

This game kicks so much ass, the first day I bought it at like 4 in the afternoon, and I played it til like 5 am, it was awesome

[@ku0n-zo5uf]

HOLY SHIT BRO! This is one of the best videos I've ever seen in youtube, and I've watched every bobbybrocolli documentary. The Editing and the way it's written and told, is just top notch. I'm definitely subbing

I remember playing this game at launch. After the big reveal transitioning into the second act i was in absolute awe. I knew there was something more once i got to the very end but it seemed beyond me at the time... its nice to see people got it figured all the way out!

[@thederpypikachu9873]

35:40 the only other time I've seen this played is Markiplier's playthrough, and he did the same bone heap thing every time. It was absolutely hilarious and something I will in fact be doing if I ever play Inscryption.

[@vannyblutea]

the finale of inscryption always hits me like a truck

[@thepyrokitten]

That was a very deep rabbit hole to basically find a scribbled smiley face on a post-it at the bottom.

[@gqueirogabr]

What a ride! I can't believe so much work went into making this game and adding so many secrets!

[@Dizerfullpower]

It's kinda sad that Mullins jumps through all these hoops and his game's mysteries consistently boil down to something like "Satan did that duh"

[@Roseforthethorns]

I just beat Inscryption today and immediately knew I needed to find more about the lore!

[@Ash_IsTrash]

Inscryption has been my favorite game since it's release date.... Yet I had no clue about all of those secrets at the end. This is such a cool video!!

[@coastalwar718]

this man's videos are insane. his posts are rarer than Ferrari winning a grand prix and not messing up afterwards, but his videos are so, SO WORTH IT

[@SnuSnuDungeon]

Leshy asking for just one more game as he faded away was heartbreaking for me.

[@TheArckaneMen]

I thought I found out almost everything about one of my all time favorite games and then I run into this video, you just showed me why Daniel is one of the most outlandish game devs out there and how much his work has to be recognized because this is some insane creativity to put out over the course of many years, honestly he is a pioneer in the industry and the way he tied everything together, things that you didnt even think were tied to one another, is absolutely insane. Like never in my life I would think each game is related to one another and it just shows me that he is creating this gigantic universe with each game he creates, now im extra excited for pony island 2

[@watersoluble5871]

This game almost feels like an Alan Resnick project, especially with how much meta narrative and multimedia layers to the mystery. I'm reminded of This House Has People In It and Unedited Footage Of A Bear in the best of ways.

[@EYErisGames]

Torial!

[@JAHHHED]

This man cooks no slop. Only content that took its time in the oven, makes you shed a tear and want to watch it again and think about it after several hours after you watched it

[@SixDragons]

WOAH! I was not expecting the cute busty Black goat at 10:02 Btw for those wondering, the artist/sauce is BratCatt

[@antoniacorrales9148]

Dude... You either a PREMIUM gooner or the world's greatest detective 😅 I didn't even catch that LMAO

[@TheAnimedude411]

Very cool video! One thing though. The "kaycee" that the Angler talks about being is one of Grimoras ghouls and NOT the real life devoloper. When you solve the epitaph tomstone puzzle in act 2 one of the tombstones does say Kaycee, but if you talk to the ghoul after beating her she says "Hey didja know? I'm named after one of the developers of Inscryption! Pretty cool, huh?" So this is meant to be a clue telling you that Kaycee Hobbes was one of the games devopers, but not that they are the same, or proof that the angler beat/killed her.

[@specs235]

1:23:03 im sorry WHAT

[@tyehampton]

Dude I got genuinely excited when I saw this pop up in my feed. I don’t ever get excited. That is the highest compliment I can pay you. “Lil Help You” is such a funny moment lmfao

[@Laretiaz]

Any vid about this game is a gem, legit one of my fav games of all time

[@puncherofbread]

While I don't play a lot of card games I feel like the reason Leshy's version of Inscyption is so well-liked vs PO3's version is that Leshy's version is simpler and more cohesive, and I think it's intentional. Leshy's game is easy to understand the basics of but allows for a pretty good level of complexity but without robbing itself of the simplicity. PO3's game on the other hand retains the same simplicity in Act 2 but when he takes control of the game he changes the rules to be more complex at a base level, partially as a way to prove his superiority. While PO3's version has some really good elements I never felt like I was able to click with it because of how more complex it was even at a lower level. This is pretty well demonstrated by the addition of 5 lanes to the board, which doesn't actually change how the game is played. Similarly, when PO3 adds gems into the mix it also doesn't change much of the experience and he's just taking a system from Magnificus' version and duck taping it to his own. Leshy's version feels like something made to be played competitively but also something you could jsut play with a friend, which reflects Leshy's character and how he just wants to play his game. PO3's version feels like it was made by someone who has a really good understanding of card games and their system but tried to fix the "problems" that other games had.

I'm so happy I had the chance to meet Dan, he's absolutely brilliant. Inscryption is phenomenal and I love how you explain and walk us through the game, almost felt like I was playing it for the first time again.

[@Т1000-м1и]

Man I lowkey love the idea of a "channels talking about silly older internet culture turned legendary turned overused turned into actually good inspiration like it's all still in the first phases with the full seriousness of it's legacy" side of youtube. Not quite how I think of it, but will do for a silly comment Edit: this is quite a bit more than I remember from regular quality Matpat, and the ARG part goes full speed

[@KaneCold]

Sometimes i wonder ... how do you come up with something like this? And then I start to wonder even more ... how do people solve this? love the recap

[@johnbaker9290]

Brilliant !! I'd have gotten boggled about 5% of the way through so glad you laid it our for us :)

[@DrunkGamerShow]

Sir... I've binged all 4 videos in 2 days and already rewatched Soma and the DS video with friends. These videos are AMAZING. I love the style and pacing. I NEED more content asap. Please. I crave it.

[@donkerbolls]

Loving this content dude. Only 4 videos and theyre all way too long for me and i still watched all of them in their entirety. It's been very good quality and very captivating even before the impressive new editing in this one, which ive seen LOTS of comments about already. Only a couple content creators can keep me around with long form videos and this knocks it outta the park

I know you've only uploaded 4 videos but I genuinely get excited when I see your name in my notifications. Exceptional videos.

[@sparaz]

Convenient that this game showed up on game pass like a week ago on console. I watched your video up to act 2 and then played through whole game before now finishing it. Extremely impressive game. Great video on your part.

[@eggzilla9594]

43:00 I had an ad when he said "he said", so I heard "he said start listening to audible"

Wishlisted on Steam because of this video! Never heard of this before.

[@chezedeelircavelol]

only the real ones would get the ouroboros to over a hundred hp and power in act 2 frfr also at the end there are other people that went over all the stories and combined them together and it is actually thought that instead of hitler making the karnoffel code it was satan who made it instead because in the other games that are confirmed to have satan as an actagonist there are hidden things all pointing back to the karnoffel code so there's that for you that's why the cards have so much power and why the old_data has to much power as well

[@Sunflower468]

Thank you for deciding to open up your channel. I hope it grows well for you and that you have the time of your life creating as you please. Can't wait to see your next art piece!

[@skys1521]

Hey btw pony island 2 is confirm to be out in the future so this Isnt EXACTLY the end of the entire ARG

[@justacityboy4426]

Goddam, I love watching long as detailed videos regarding hidden secrets about games I’ve never played. And this guy does it amazingly well. Banger after banger

[@BluesDank]

WELL WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT

[@Virtute]

What a video, cheers for making it. I didnt know there was so more much to inscryption than what i experienced in my play through

[@sammie.x3]

Holy shit, I didn't think anyone still talked about this game. I fucking love it, it's still in my top 10 (COUGH, top 5) even after 3 years. This is gonna be a sexy, sexy watch. Metaphorically. Edit: Also: U N K I L L A B L E *G E C K*

[@Karuyine]

this is so good and underrated, it makes it really easy to get the experience of the ARG, though i have to say, in it's time i did some digging, didn't find anything quite myself, but i searched for information, and when you discovered more and more... OOHHH GOSH THE FEELING IS SOOO GOODDDD ARGs can be really great if made well, AND DAMN THE GUY OR PEOPLE FROM INSCRYPTION FWICKING DID, but okay, i love ARGs and i personally like so much the adventure it makes you go through, and that's sadly something a video could never replicate, BUT LIKE, THE VIDEO IS FWICKING GOOD I LOVED IT AND IT HAD THINGS I NEVER FOUND SOOOO, it is good though... that there may still be more to it, if i had to say... specifically... *_THE HEX_* and that *character* with at least a seeming control over the OLD_DATA so, there's still digging you can make for yourself, let it be searching what others did, or maybe finding something by yourself, even if it has already been found... i can tell you, it'll be fun- AND OH MY GOD HE IS WORKING IN A FWICKING PONY ISLAND *_2_* I WAS JUST GONNA SAY PONY ISLAND HAD INTERESTING THINGS TOO, BUT OH MY FWICKING GOD PONY ISLAND 2???? you can even wishlist it on steam 〒▽〒 if you see this BeamBuddyy... Pony Island 2: Panda Circus ARG (or whatever) video?? :0 if you want of course lmao it's your thing not mine XD ... okay now i'll sleep, fwicking vtuber sleep schedule XDD
