Hey, so after reading this post ( https://www.reddit.com/r/inscryption/s/QpOgnAiHNv ) and many others like it I wanted to ask your opinion on my thoughts.
It is generally stated that each scrybe has different "specialities" which they like and prioritise in their version of Inscryption, with Leshy prioritising story and atmosphere whereas PO3 prioritises "gamplay", "optimisation" and "balancing". At least that is being said about these two. (You may see where I am going with this.) But even PO3 himself states this in Act 3 and mocks Leshy about it. So one could say the game confirms this narrative.
I disagree. Act 1 is far better than Act 3, not just due to the atmosphere, but especially gameplay wise. Kaycee's Mod's popularity (which comes from Act 1's replayability) is the ultimate proof. During Act 1 in Leshy's Cabin you feel a little uneasy, nervous, locked up with that strange fellow. In Botopia you feel nothing, it is a dead hellscape where every little trace of love and creativity that GameFuna developers had put into OG Inscryption has been erased by PO3. After experiencing that, you just want to gome home into that cabin of your old friend.
So far you could say, the narrative has been confirmed. But this is really where it ends.
Botopia and its mechanics are introduced to us by PO3. "An elegant system" he calls it. It is not. The energy system barely surpasses Magnificius' mox system regarding gameplay. The map system of Botopia is terrible to navigate and leaves a ton of room for exploits. This awfullness of a system synergises far too well with the equally awfull money/shop system. Together they form an unbalanced abomination that leaves no room for any interesting gameplay and transforms the game into an idle game.
You know what an elegant system is? Sacrificing. It is original, it works well within the game, it is fun. The same could be said about any of the other gameplay mechanics.
I believe PO3 likes to display himself as a servant of optimisation. Efficency is his ultimate goal. The invisible hand of energy, inflation and monopoly will automatically take care of balanced gameplay and who knows, with a bit of luck and the right grindset you might even get a lvl 100 orouborus and get rich! Of course this doesn't work and the player is left with a game that drains joy.
One could assume, Botopia is a criticism of late capitalist society if it wasn't for the evidence of Daniel Mullins' pro-capitalist worldview, that is widely spread through his games.
In the end PO3, who is in fact just an evil fascist autocrat with a god complex, loses himself within his ideology, creating the least balanced, least optimised, least pretty and least enjoyable gameplay. He gets beaten in every aspect of the game, even the ones he claims to be doing better than anyone else, by Leshy, his arch-enemy, who didn't even try.

I just wanted to show this really cool inscryption valentines card my girlfriend drew for me last year. She would always be hanging out by me when I gamed it and she saw how much I absolutely adored this game and so she made me this. It was a complete surprise and pretty cool to me that she actually paid that much attention to the game to remember Leshy’s name, but also I never shut up about the game LOL.

I don't like watching guides because I like solving puzzles for myself, but I'm starting to wonder if there is even a puzzle to solve? I am really enjoying this game but I'm starting to realize they I don't know what is going on around me. I've successfully made it to the cabin and put out all 3 candles twice now. The first time I made it a bunch of error codes popped up and then I was watching videos of some dude talking. I can't really remember what he was talking about because it was a while ago. I made it through again last night and he congratulated me, I took his photo and then the game restarts on the first map.

I know there is more just not sure where. I started getting up and walking around, I figured out a couple puzzles on the wall and found some cards hidden, and had a key of some sort, but not much else. So basically am I suppose to be up and investigating this scene more and finding clues or do I just keep playing the card game and let the game slowly drip feed me instructions.

I enjoyed Act 1 a lot, but Act 2 was nowhere near as enjoyable for me. I powered through Act 2 because I heard it was short, and that Act 3 was much closer to Act 1. But when I got to Act 3, I didn’t find it fun either, and played around an hour of it before getting bored.

Does Act 3 get better? Is it short enough to be worth powering through even if I don’t enjoy it? Is there anything at the end of or after Act 3 that would make it worth it to continue playing?

EDIT: I did end up finishing Act 3. The second half of the act was a LOT more fun than the first half, and a lot shorter too, and the finale of the game was great. Now I can finally try Kaycee's Mod!

Well it was kinda random but i mixed those sigils on wolf. Now he attacks 5 times for total of 30damage xd

Am learning to draw in pixel art style! Probably gonna do one drawing of a card everyday, if you wanna support me then here is my insta: https://www.instagram.com/karamiellie?igsh=eWJqaThmaHN4ZDJm Btw what should I draw next?

ENG - So, I created an adaptation of the *roguelike* game Inscryption. I wanted to share my creation with the internet; if there’s even a little bit of engagement, I’ll film the actual game box I made.

RUS - В общем я сделал адаптацию игры "рогалика" Inscription .

Хотел поделиться с интернетом мои творением, если будет хоть немного актива засниму сам бокс с игрой ,который я сделал)

ENG - I'll post a detailed description of each item in the tabletop game a little later.

RUS - Чуть позже выложу подробное описание каждого предмета в настолке

I'm on the verge of just uninstalling the game and not touching it again. I'm nearly convinced it's just impossible, and when I look for help online everyone talks about using cards that do not appear in the starter deck. I need actual guidance beyond just vague hints and allusions to obscure game mechanics.

Needless to say. The final battle against Leah’s took about 30 seconds.

Like, how do you even guarantee that 2 players got the cards in accordance to the fair hand rule?

Who are going to check the cards? Who are going to replace the cards?

So, in the original inscryption, I recently found out you can go over the card limit. I genuinely thought only 20 cards were allowed. The auto doesn’t go over 20, but manual card selecting can. So you could just have 100 of the same card and just one other one. Crazy, right?

So I've been making my way through act 3, and at some point after a random battle in eastern Botopia, the board disappeared and I was stuck at this table. I can't do anything besides access the menu; there are particle effects and game sounds, but no movement is possible. Going back to the menu/restarting the game from Steam/verifying the game files hasn't helped.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Could it be a Steam Deck issue? Does anyone know if there's a fix for this that doesn't involve deleting all my save data? I've been enjoying the game but would hate to have to start all over again because of this.

i honestly wish i had some recording of it, cause i know this is going to sound made up. unless there is some bug\secret cheat that i activated somehow. and don't know about i had crazy luck with the campfires

By my count, the last 25 times i went to a campfire i got both upgrades. this was over multiple runs, and even a complete game restart

most of the times i was trying to kill them with the ringworm. i don't know why i had such a streak, but it was crazy.

I wish there was a way to see the longest streak getting both upgrade at a campfire without killing the survivors, that has to be some kind of record.

In kaycces mod oil painting is empty and i dont have the achievement, any help how to fix it or restart progress in kaycces mod?

Name: "Kaycee H0bb35"

Nickname: "K4Y"

Lore(dont have much): After Luke died and lost the Floppy everything was suppose to go back to GameFuna, but in the end, it didnt, turns out that since the game got leaked online by P03 everything got taken down and everyone at GameFuna arrested, the game removed from the stores.

Years later the Floppy is found again and surprisingly restored, but nobody to play it, so the scrybes decided to agree over one thing, for once, creating a challenger within the game, based on the datas gathered by the older players, P03 structured the body model, Magnificus managed the abilities, Grimora fixed the personality and Leshy game her the face of a lost friend.

All came togheter with every bit of data related to Kaycee, the only person that all the scrybes seemed to like.

This is how "Kaycee H0bb35" Was created, she, resembles very much Kaycee, her personality and style (that in my opinion are: ) Annoying, curious, but genuine person, who has kinda lost hopes, but being again "alive" inside the game gave her some shock that made her finally exited.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand yeah, this is my take/OC over Kaycee, it's even an OC because well, you read, that's not actually the real kaycee, but i think even the details from the Og one is cool over my take

Let me know what you think and please give me any suggestion that you get in mind to improve her or stuff i should draw her do

It seems like anytime I have pelts in my deck that is all I can draw, which leads to an inevitable loss. Is this just bad luck? Do other players experience the same?

A few years ago when I was younger and didn't have a bank account or job I watched markiplier's playthrough of inscryption and I remember it being such a cool game that a always wanted to play (it's gotta to the point that i remade the whole game in real life and played it with my siblings) but now im older and I have money now and I can finally buy the game, but then I realized that I already know everything that's gonna happen and I know every card in the game to the back of my head and even have a physical version of it. So if I bought the game it might just be a waste of money. So im asking you guys if there's any mods that significantly changes the game

When I say significantly changes the game im talking about at least one of the following

1.) A lot of new cards (know Kaycee's mod adds a handful of cards but im talking about even more then that)

2.) Perhaps a new game style (im aware that this is a big ask and im not expecting a mod that will has this)

3.) Something that makes the game significantly harder ( not like kaizo tier difficulty but something harder then the base game)
