  • @mustardtm2391
    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
  • @DecInside69420
    Mat: "DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME" Me who hadn't even heard of the game before this: I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you
  • @Catatonica
    Grimora: I want to get rid of this pain of existence P03: I want to share inscription with the world! Leshi: I just want to play cards :(
  • @reaper5242
    Me: buys inscryption Mat literally seconds later: "Don't play inscryption" Me: "welp looks like the world is ending tonight"
  • @octiveon2968
    I really hope that they make an official playable card game.
  • @kauedasilva1072
    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.
  • @m0002856
    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.
  • @probablyjoe_
    In all seriousness, I just finished the game and it's so heartbreaking to see leshy try so hard to keep playing his cards. Even after the scales are deleted, he still just wants to play his card games with you.
  • @lester696
    Mat: "DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME!" Also Mat: *proceeds to make it sound hella interesting*
  • @DocDocGoose15
    I actually really liked Leshy. He seemed like he just wanted to play a fun game with someone. You can tell how much love and care he puts into it with the maps and the figures and all.
  • @Dhalin
    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.
  • @voidraldarken
    “Putting Leshy in charge was the smartest thing Kaycee could have done.” Kaycee’s Mod Entries: I’m about to end this man’s whole career.
  • @zijohnson2024
    As a previous theater kid myself, I DEFINITELY appreciate the commitment Leshy has for his game play.
  • 9:50 So Noone gonna talk about that glitches face on Amanda when you shoots Luke? Or am I just tripping and that glitch never happened?
  • @thefrogggy100
    mat: "do not play this game" everyone: proceeds to play this game
  • @shelbiecain9289
    I remember back when this game was just a demo called "sacrifices must be made" that was years ago, I'm so glad they finally completed it
  • @plasmawolf7960
    I wonder why they specifically chose a Leshy as an antagonist. Seems pretty odd to me, because that Eastern European mythology is relatively obscure.
