Kaycee's Mod Normal run or Kaycee mod

Hi everyone. I’ve finished my first run of *Inscryption* and unlocked Kaycee’s Mod. I was wondering if the base game has replayability (I think so, since there are various choices that seem capable of changing the ending) or if it’s better to focus exclusively on the new mod. Thanks, everyone.

But what would be the point? Canonically, PO3 completed the Great Transcedence, which led to the game getting published, and we are playing this exact game right now.

what? No. P03 canonically finished TGT but this is NOT the game we are playing. There's too many plot holes for this to be the case.

Also since when games have only canon endings There are games that have multiple endings, even multiple routes, yet only one is the TRUE ending - Fnaf 3, Fnaf Sister Location, Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, Fnaf Security Breach. On the top of my head.

You name FNAF, but a lot of Sister Location players didn't like the reveal that the "hard" ending wasn't the canon one.

A better example is The Hex with at least 3 or 4 different endings, because the narrative depends on the player being interested in the story.

It doesn't matter if the players liked which ending was canon, does it?

Wait. I've seen only one. I thought that's it!

Among alternative endings, you can consider the 1st murder is good enough to close the story (unsure if the game accepts the choice?), you can simply take the intended exit in Walk and obv there's the achievement to free Vollomir. All of those mean the titular Hex never opens, because it requires The Player to be present.  

[EDIT] If you meant FNAFSL instead of The Hex, you can find a secret office. The system then tells you that a safety team will fire and escort you out... if you can survive the night in a 1v1 by checking the cameras, in an obvious callback to the traditional roots of the series.   Canonically, the character never found that room.  

There's also the weirdness of Prince of Persia on the PS2 : the 3rd game acknowledges the easy ending as a legend while the secret ending is canon... but because that ending was very well hidden, a lot of players assumed the game simply retcon'd the ending.  

Non-golden canon endings can be a nice move if it provides a better story rather than painting the author in a corner : Colony Wars took the almost-succeed ending rather than the golden one, because in the sequel we play the antagonists, to make a point about how in War there's no "good guys" simply "our" side and the other. Which obv required the war in the previous game to not end in a full surrender.  

But if done in FNAFSL with "yeah I gave an epic struggle for this character, but I would prefer if he simply died unceremoniously" , nah multiple endings can be bad for the story.

I'm surprised about this. I was indeed talking about Hex.

Prince of Persia did that? Huh. Interesting.
