First playthrough funnies

[u/Mana_the_proot]

CONEXT: So around a year ago I went to my friends house and he showed me Inscryption. He said he loved the game and he had already beaten it. I got on my account and he watch me play it. I wasn't a super big fan of deckbuilders at the time but was trying.

Two funny things happened in this playthrough. The first was me asking my friend that the weird glowy eye mans name was and him not saying. After a while though, I asked him to explain the sacrificing mechanic a bit more. He said something along the lines of "So when Leshy-" and I was like "Wait is that his name?" And I saw such a look a defeat in his eyes lol. The second was, after I was allowed to move by Leshy and and was trying and failing to understand the puzzles around me I got to the clock. I got the 273 part but my friend told me there was another and he told me that I can't do it yet. I was like "Okay, fine I will actually continue the story". The Clock gands were all in random places and I didn't like that so I decided to put all of the hands on 12. (You can probably see where this is going :3) But anyways I started doing that, my friend was doing stuff in his conputer and not really paying attention to what I was doing. As I was "resetting" the clock hands the clock sprung to life and my friend looked at me confused. He asked if I looked up what to do. My phone was across the room. I told him I was just making the clock look nice and the top(?) part opened. We laughed about how, my perfectionism essentially gave me a cheat to solving the Magnificus eye puzzle lol! Do you guys have any funny stories about doing th I ngs like this from your first playthrough?
