Welcome to the I Play Pot Of Greed Club, how I Play Pot Of Greed are ya? First video in series : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7Khhrp1uKeUkac.html

its just like the old rhyme say _"you never know when youre gonna miss the warmth cabin of a psycho ancient sadistic hobo beast-god, until youre trapped playing with an apathetic sentient robot"_

i find it funny people are saying they dislike P-03 because he is too bland and boring. but thats the point. Leshy is all about flavour, his camera captures images that would become the cards Magnificus is all about art, his brush paints the art of the cards Grimicia is all about lore, with her quil she inscribes the history and sigils on the cards and P-03 is about the mechanics, he designs just the numbers of the cards he is meant to be stagnant and robotic because he doesnt care about lore, art or flavour. whenever he explains mechanics its hugely different from Leshy, where as Leshy describes the act of empowering your cards as "you warm your beasts by the fire" and "you come across a strange obelisk in the woods" P-03 literally just says "pick a boost, it will power you card, or whatever, you will see".

Leshy was the ultimate misunderstood antagonist, I don’t believe he was ever truly evil. He focused his game on atmosphere and worldbuilding, keeping the mechanics he thought the player would most enjoy while removing some of the bloat and unenjoyable junk. He was always interested in finding “a worthy challenger”, which is basically the reason his grizzly rushes exist- if the player can’t do some meta thinking to bypass his seeming impossible obstacles (which are passable, by the way), then Leshy doesn’t want them winning their card game off of the pretense of little challenge or high luck. He’s also incredibly aware that he and everybody he knows is in a game, that’s why he allows you to create your own deathcard; he knows he’s not hurting the real player, and he’s giving them an opportunity to increase their odds of winning or to try out new strategies. He even rolls with some of the more unfair aspects of his game, such as stinking up the moon to remove it’s damage. The only people Leshy ever kept hostage were the other scrybes, but he didn’t see them being turned into animals as a punishment, rather, he saw it as a sort of gift. Not to mention how well he treats his subordinates compared to the other scrybes. The prospector, angler, and trader… they’re all included as bosses, part of the storytelling… Leshy’s favorite part of the gameplay. Meanwhile P03 sacrifices his workforce for better cards, Magnificus tortures his students for a chance to be added to his deck, and so on. It was so heartbreaking for him to ask for just a few more rounds.

I was irritated at my low skill in the first act so i created a death card out of a wolf cub's cost, fused grizzly stats, with undying and mole sigils and i named it "fuck you." When it was delt back to me at the end i almost cried

"This game doesn't exist, but please give it back or else we'll sue you into oblivion and send the FBI after you, cheers"

Leshy turned from your local crackhead into sweet grandpa that wants to play with his grandchild. It hurts my heart when he asked for a few more rounds

Everybody is talking about Leshy and Magi but nobody cares for what Grimora could have offered? I thought the style and *death knocking* was so clever, and the chess board, too. Ugh

The fact that he found the Mycologists, Bone Lord and both of the OLD_DATA secret areas on his first playthrough just shows how god damn thorough this man is

Bone Lord: "WILL YOU WORSHIP ME MORTAL" Manly: "sure" Bone Lord: "well gee thanks, please accept these meager offerings in return for your worship pal. :D"

Beginning of Inscryption: This mysterious man is so twisted... A real cycled path... if you die in his card game, you die in real life... End of Inscryption: *BRING! BACK! LESHY! BRING! BACK! LESHY! BRING! BACK! LESHY!*

Magnifico: "I must... still... shake your hand..." That hurt.

Seeing manly explain that dummy exploit to score 25 foils was interesting, followed up by the next time he gets foils, he has a stock of 237 really gets me 😂

"Rats. We're rats. We're the rats. We prey at night. We stalk at night. We're the rats." -Manly's winning strategy: a summary.

I’m gonna be real with you, Leshy’s DM table was way better.

I kind of broke the paint boss lol. I think I had "every time your turn starts, a random card takes 5 damage" "every time a card dies, a random card is played" and "every time a card dies, all cards take 1 damage". It created an infinite loop where I couldn't even play cards and P03 had to come in and say "that's quite enough of that :/" and they cancelled my last rule, lmao

Grimora wanted to delete the game, Leshy wanted to play the game, P03 wanted to upload the game, but we never quite figure out what Magnificus wants. To maintain the status quo? To leave the game hidden so nothing is destroyed or created?

As a yugioh player I went hysterical when I saw the duel disk, but not getting to handshake a fellow duelist was the greatest crime in the world

Manly: "My deck is unbeatable." Magnificus: *Removes skeleton spawn sigil* Manly: "NOOO!"

I see a lot of people comparing Leshy and P08's DMing styles, so I'd like to give my two bits as a game designer. Leshy is a Narrative GM, focusing more on the atmosphere and the immersion of the player in his setting. His mechanical creativity is a little short, which reveals itself as him just dropping bears on you when you beat him too hard. His step-by-step Oregon Trail adventure is endearing, especially when the fear of 'oh god this guy is trying to kill me and take my soul' has passed by. P08 is a purely mechanics-driven game designer, looking purely on how to create mechanics that are interesting (the Conveyors moving cards inwards, setting up a generator to create a different gameplay experience contrary to the rest of the game, etc.) However he fails UTTERLY at making a compelling story. He needs you to do something, and it's all crunch, compared to Leshy's 'Fluff'. So while you get more mechanical depth and challenge with P08 (namely because his cards don't have as wild synergies as, say, our favorite skeleton/rat swarm), you do get some interesting fights that do stand out; just not when you're slogging through his enormous section that breaks immersion. Which really sucks, because this references the tension between them in the story. If Leshy and P08 were able to come together and make a game with the former's storytelling and latter's mechanical know-how? It'd be phenomenal. In Conclusion: Inscryption is a game that highlights the need for the mechanical and artistic to work in conjunction with each other, but that's only a lesson you can learn if you're open to it.

My reaction: "HOLY SHIT" MBH's reaction:"god we got hitman'd by a card game developer"

You can tell he's the real villain by how terrible a DM he is. Bring back Leshy, I want the masks and voices.

Interesting how each character plays the board in a way that reflects their personalities Leshy cares about the atmosphere/mystery around him. So he plays it like a rouge lite P-03 cares about strategy/order. So he plays it like a rpg Grimora likes puzzles/tricks so she plays it like a board game Magicanth likes art/creativity so there is no board Edit:I didn't go through the whole thing again to learn the names again

Am I the only one who was sad to see Luke just get shot? Like he was just some poor dude who got roped into all of this and then wanted to try and find out what was going on with it. I just felt so bad for him just dying in the end...

Leshy’s final moments were nice just two pals having a final match no winners or losers good game man

One of my favorite things about Manly, and one of my biggest selling points when recommending him to other people, is how quickly he figures out game mechanics. That in itself is almost as entertaining as his gameplay.

((Spoilers)) When Leshy complimented one of your created cards in his final moments.... that hurt

I got a different theory than most: What if the OLD_DATA is not supernatural AT ALL and is just evidence of very violent and inhumane illegal activities by the company? So they deleted/hidden it but while they were developing a 100% normal virtual card game, somehow the evidence resurfaced through the code (maybe that's the only supernatural element, the same that gave life to the game characters?) then the company buried it so no-one could charge them, then killed Luke to prevent him from taking legal action that would destroy the brand.

I think not being able to shake Magnificus' hand at the end symbolises two things: both how his overreliance on aesthetic kept him from the player in a very real sense, and in a broader sense our lack of control over the terms of how and when we die. Love this game immensely.

Manly: _"I miss Leshy"_ Me: _"Me Too"_

Me: "The card Leshy is building kinda sucks." Leshy: *replaces Manly's hand* Me: "Ah."

The ending is fucked up for me, mainly because of what happened to Luke. A simple man who enjoyed opening card packs and winds up in a mystery and sees things that scarred him and ends up getting murdered just because he had questions. I hope that data somehow goes public and shuts GameFuna down for good.

Just in case it wasn't clear, 1:51:19 was Manly's ACTUAL hard drive. He was going through his recorded footage to select files to use in the game.

"I got hitman'ed by a card game developer" Knowing how WoC and GW treat their clients and players, it really wouldn't surprise me.

I love how quickly Leshy has become such a beloved character in the few short days since this game's full release, to the point where even I was begging him not to disappear even though it wasn't his choice. It especially hurt when he said "Please... a few more rounds."

Grimora actually seems the best out of the scribes. Her little minion things are just existing (albeit a bit damaged but you can’t really fix death like that), she isn’t indifferent to them like Po3, she isn’t almost sadistic like Magnificus, and she doesn’t treat them like puppets (The woodcarver said that about Leshy). She also just wants to wipe the disk because of the old data. Plus her map at the end looked really fun, all chess like and stuff. I want there to be some kind of dlc or other where you can play storylines for her and Magnificus

This game hits such a different tune as a tabletop card game player myself. The ending is super heavy on me. The characters seem to represent the major archetypes of card games that MTG had sort of researched on. There's Timmy, Johnny, Spike primarily. Timmy is a power gamer, Timmy likes dropping an army or the world-ender button and swinging to win. Johnny is a combo player, enjoying unique synergy of cards. Spike is the competitive player, playing with the sole purpose of finding efficient use of keywords and winning rapidly. There's also "Vorthos" which is sort of a mindset that is pushed aside for the other three. Vorthos players don't play with the sole goal of winning in mind, they play to portray a certain art direction or theme or even just a simple style. A Vorthos player would be right at home playing a tribal deck of crabs which has no synergy, simply because they're all crabs and that's fun to them. I am regularly a Vorthos player. In Commander format I made a Slimefoot deck because I like fungus and gardening, a Wrexial deck full of discard and sea monsters because I love Lovecraftian mythos, I even put my pirate deck in a literal small wooden pirate chest box and my treasure tokens are replica doubloons. Leshy is a Vorthos. Leshy was criticized by P03 for focusing too much on the "emotion" or "theme". Which makes sense because P03 is the foil of Leshy, being a Spike player. This is also very apparent in the way they present their exploration games. While Leshy is a legitimate story of survival, carrying similar themes with suspense of being hunted by some natural force. Your cards and deck generally aren't optimized all that great but they all fit into the theme. P03's world was streamlined, had a much more direct waypoint system, and you got to tailor your deck to a fairly high degree. In the end, all Leshy wanted to do was to have fun playing with a friend. When the scale is deleted and he just says "Please continue, we don't need to keep score" that honestly made me feel a bit choked up because to me (having played a lot of tabletop card games) it means something different. I've played with a lot of friends where we realize one of us is on the down and it's frustrating, luck of the draw is a real thing...somehow either myself or one of my friends manages to 'muck up' their turn...skip a draw or a trigger that would win them the game, attack or target the wrong thing. All intentional. Just because it's not the act of winning the game that matters, it was always just a fun social event to get together and play some Magic with friends. Then we'd look and see we'd have maybe 10 cards left in deck then someone would simply "and I'll swing for board! Next game?" or something like that... Leshy just wanted to provide you, the player, with a memorable experience. Something that was true to the theme, and in some cases fairly scary and nerve-wracking. All he was doing was his goal to provide a spooky horror scenario. Good job, Leshy.

I almost wish there was an endless mode for Leshy's version of inscrybed. It was just so distinct and thematic Edit: Kaycee's Mod is the best thing I've ever seen

Seeing each and every scribe bid their farewell is depressing, especially leshy as his final scene just tear jerking, reliving the memories. Not to mention them wanting to shake your hand really makes you invested to each and every character. This game is a masterpiece for sure.

That lonely wizard tho. Manly "Yeah we got this." lonely wizard changes position Lonely Wizard "Hello friend!" Manly "NO!"

Leshy saying “please just a few more rounds” has the same feeling as the doctor saying “I don’t wanna go”

Honestly, Leshy and maybe even the others (except P03, he’s just a dick), are all kinda tragic. They all genuinely seemed to enjoy the players presence, and seemed to mainly just devote themselves almost entirely to just making a good fun ride and show for the player. Sure like say, Leshy had obvious flaws in this design, like the forced loss instances just because he wanted to shove in new tutorials and mechanics. But aside from that, Leshy in particular went all out in just making a fun card game, with a great atmosphere that hooked in dozens of players! The idea that he murdered several people, and kills you if you lose, or even if you win? That’s just part of his world building! He knows he’s in a game, so killing your player character is just. “Alright, new round, and look! You get a fancy card for this run that you made yourself!” The main thing holding all 4 of these people back, is only what I can assume. Is their endless fighting and imprisoning each other to get the spotlight, and be on the face of the game.

Honestly I felt really bitter sweet seeing Leshy go... he seemed to genuinely care for the player at the end, just enjoying playing with you.

I actually really liked P03's section. (I liked ALL 4 of the bosses.) I loved the high tech theme and how he was like "Alright, whatever, let's bang this shit out." There are different personalities of people that play games, and he was just one of them. There doesn't need to be a deep debate. All 4 of them had different personalities and would naturally resonate with different people in different ways.

Magnificus dragging himself to try and shake Luke’s hand physically hurt me. And it’s worse when you realize he’ll never get the chance to ever again. They’re both permanently gone :(

Can we just take a moment to appreciate appreciate the insane amount of effort that went into this game? The different styles, little video and meta stories plus the game itself, its really something when you see all the moving parts, congratulations to the devs!

Other youtubers: 30 mins episodes with as little cuts as possible Manly the exodia: 2 and 3 hours ep, already includes most interesting parts of multiple playthrough We really appreciate your hardwork, the badassest of heroes!

Fun fact. The lonley wizard is dancing at the end because he is used to living in nothingness from the “training” magnifisus gave him from living in sensory deprivation.

That last section really got to me, like, I couldn’t help but to think: “it didn’t have end like this, remember when games were meant to be fun?.......”

The moment Grimora put on the pirate act, you could see how much of a blast he started to have, and when it was all cut off, it broke my heart. I'd have loved to play against Grimora like that. Leshy and Grimora grew so onto me, going from weirdos to cooky cool uncle / grandpa. And P03 had more personality as a stoat than as a robot, but I guess that's kind of the point. I'm still not so sure where to put Magnificus.

"Play your last pathetic card so I can end this, Yugi." - "My grandpa's deck _has_ no pathetic cards, Kaiba! But it does contain... a stoat!"

aw man i kinda feel bad for magnificus not getting to shake your hand, felt even worse with leshy slowly seeing his stuff getting deleted

So fun fact, during the archivist fight, they actually CAN’T delete your files, but they do make a text file in the same folder asking you to delete it since they couldn’t, and if you do (or just move the file to another folder), P03 comments on it and you get an achievement Also during the ending sequence if you bring up the rule book for grimora and magnificus’ parts, they contain unused sigils including parts for “edaxio” an obvious reference to yugioh’s exodia.

The fact that there isn't an alt. route where you face off with the wizard and the battle deck arm thing, in full, is criminal.

He reaches out to the company for answers and they slap him with copyright threats and stalk him? GameFuna must be a subsidiary of Games Workshop.

Just wanna appreciate that Manly always lets the credits play out at the end of whatever game he's playing

Y’all’s, the name Leshy is from Slavic folklore! A леший is typically an old stump in a forest, and they are hailed as a guardian of a specific place, or of the animals that live there. Honestly, this is the first time I’ve seen Slavic folklore in a game, so I’m impressed. Good job, dude. Edit: Leshy are technically a part of Slavic folklore, not just Russian, which is what the comment originally said. Slavic folklore includes countries like Belarus, Ukraine, Poland, Bosnia, etc, etc, not just Russia. Thank you majik for correcting me on that.

I'm just going to say it, that floppy sure got a lot of storage space.

Man, I wish we had full fledged versions of the necromancer and mage world.

Oh god, that ending scene with Magnificus was heartbreaking. LIKE, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, DUDE!? JUMP OFF YOUR PEDESTAL AND SHAKE HIS HAND! Eugh, heartwrenching.

When i got to the second phase of P03’s fight, i had a 100attack 100health Ouroboros on the board. All four lanes on P03’s side were filled with copies of it. Surprisingly it actually allowed me to win easily, but still, that was TERRIFYING-

Leshy’s music makes his end section feel especially sad. Its like saying goodbye to an old friend.

I genuinely can’t believe the game won’t let us shake the wizard’s hand, I’m salty. He was cool Edit: Sadistic and cool. A little fluffy too. Poor goo

Dude the archivist battle where it ACTUALLY DELETES THE FILE is so nuts. Like it gives you an actual reason to make sure that card doesn't die, very cruel but a bold move nonetheless.

Man, seeing the ending boss battles really tears me up inside Grimicia, her final 'boss' battle that she thought she'd have time for never happened, she even is surprised that she runs out of time, but even so she still shakes your hand and thanks you for your efforts, getting through her little 'dungeon' to appear as the final boss of 'her' story. Leshy, even though he had time for 1 more game, he was sad because he knew the end was coming, but he still wanted to play 1 more game, and he wanted it to go as long as possible, and set up the atmosphere for it, even as the items began vanishing, from the candles, to the scales, he just wants to play as 'long' as possible, and when there's nothing more either of you can do... he thanks you and gives you a 'good game' handshake, as is tradition. when magnificus' final battle arrived, he wanted to go out in a bang, in a 'duel' reminiscent of what we all hope happens in the future, 2 worthy foes facing off in an 'epic' battle, he combines the fan favorites from various card game themes, into a 'beautiful' canvas that was his duel with you, the tragedy was... he never got to thank you, to shake your hand which i feel is the saddest thing in all of any cardgame, it's tradition where you shake your opponent's hand if the duel was 'good'. Leshy's was the saddest though, because it reminds me of how we all feel when there's no longer enough time to do what we want. we just want to play that game we love for just another hour more, enjoy that moment we loved for one second more. When your dueling your friend, and you know it's going to be the last duel between you for w.e reason, you try to make it last, you make up any excuse to make it go another turn, misplays, forget the counters, reset our cards, endless resources... anything, just to prolong the game... just a few more rounds.

I'm thinking "magnificus" is actually pronounced "magni-ficus" because he's a ficus tree.

So the way I see it; Leshy: The "Forever DM" who ran highly detailed and interesting games, but was a killer DM who kept roping his friends in and kept forcing them to play. Stoat/P03: The "That Guy" of the table, who always thought he could do better than Leshy. Yet when he finally gets the chance, he sucks at it. His story is shallow, his enemies are predictable, and his NPCs are just cheap imitations of Leshy's.

The way each of the Scrybes were deleted was so heartbreaking in it's own way, other than the kinda funny P-03. But the worst of all was the real life dude who just... Really liked cards. He stumbled into this... And dug too deep :(

I was losing my shit at your Magnificus fight, I have never seen luck that bad before. I assumed the cards came in a set order because everyone I've seen play it started with a green gem and two green mages.

God, turn the cabin experience into an entire DLC. Multiple worlds, more events, more deck building. More challenges, more puzzles in the cabin... Like I'm totally down for the generic card game stuff? But the horror-style puzzle stuff was done VERY well and should be elaborated on more! They have amazing writers for Leshy!

I like Leshy's style of play more than P-03's. Yeah, having more options strategy-wise is cool, but a lot of P-30's cards are rather obvious rip-offs of the other three Scrybe's cards, and his descriptions of events and characters are so... bare bones and dismissive sounding. There's no 'life' to his game, and the fact that he keeps adding rules makes it an endless grind of ever-evolving strategy. He comes off like some whiny sore loser, and I will be glad when I can finish his chapter.

The "infinite foils" is not a glitch. is intended so you can get some achievements. It can be used too to buff Uroboros till infinity.

2:29:20 despite the weight of this game, the face P03 makes as Leshy rips is head off is freakin beautiful

While the last part of the game was really emotional and fantastic to see, I was also laughing my ass off at Manly not being able to play any yu-gi-oh cards due to awful luck with draws.

Here I was expecting a game about eating children or starving to death but instead got a mysterious yet charming meta card game

Holy crap, I think I got YOUR card on my run of Inscryption! It was a big help during that fight, especially since I was doing a run before I figured out how Oroboros worked.

It felt So Good to finally watch someone who knows what they're doing. It's a very relaxing experience to be able to just focus on the game and not the misplays you keep noticing. Thank you, Manly, I've started like 3 different playthroughs of this game and yours is the only one I could finish

Funny part about the fight vs wifi uberbot. I did get a card to someone and my card did get sent to someone(in manly's playthrough it says that no one else is playing so he just keeps the card for himself) but in mine: it got sent and i actually had to wait for the other guy to win with my op card. If he lost with my card i would lose too, so i just sat there, waiting, anticipating.. the other guy won! So did i, and my boss got defeted by someone else playing lol.

That sensory-deprived wizard finally dancing to music like he said he would like to is wholesome tho

"You can't beat my rat deck, it does rat things!" got me laughing xD EDIT: calling 15:07 a "minor exploit" is a minor understatement.

I love how Manly does different voices for every character and never forgets whoms is who. I even caught myself in the middle of the video thinking wait, is there a voiceover in this game? there wasn't any at the beginning i think its just great work, immersing in the game

Man I feel bad about Luke. He was just a youtuber that enjoyed opening card packs and ended up getting mixed up in a legit creepypasta game. I loved what they did with this game though. It's great how it is a reference to creepypasta games but like... a new take? Very creative game and I gotta love me some clever card games. Loved the Yu-gi-oh reference at the end there X'D Wish they had also done a full mage-world version because yes yu-gi-oh

If they could make DLC that's just the roguelike frame from the Leshy's first act, but with the different playstyles of the other three Scrybes, that could be really interesting. Seemed like the necromancer stinkbug lady could have had a potential boardgame mechanic, and Magnificus would have been fun just for the memes. Thanks for playing.

Got me deep on the feels when Leshy asked for a few rounds. My guy is a misunderstood antagonist and was the best at it.

The origin of the old data is revealed in the arg, and to avoid spoilers I'll only say that your theory about the cia isn't too far off course. And there is an alternate 'true' ending for those that solve the arg, which points to a short youtube video.

Dang what a trip. Shaking the Scrybe's hands at the end made me more emotional than I thought it would.

I feel like I’m the only one who likes P0-3’s segment lol. I love his personality on how he really doesn’t get all that invested in the game and states things very directly and cares very little for roleplaying. The visuals are cool too.

The fact that manly did this without using or exploiting ourobouros even once is truly impressive.

dang that last part of the game is like when the world is ending, and the last thing around you is a friend that the only connection you make is playing a game with them.

Consider this. The four Scrybes are the four basic elements that went into a good CCG. Lechy is the Story and Lore director, basically lead writer. Magnificus is the Lead Artist, perhaps with his students being the second artists being tormented for not their work not being in style with the rest of the art. P-03 (or Poe) would be the lead game designer, focused on mechanics and balance. Grimica would most likely be the Community Director, without a community (other people to play against) a CCG would be nothing. Another thing to consider, why would a Mycologist be the one to study the old data and merge things together? Think about this, Mold growing on floppy discs is a real thing and if you work with old media like that you should check it for growths. What if the OLD_DATA is some kind of fungus that grew on the disc and is interacting with it in some kind of supernatural or alien way?

To bad there was no actual Grimora and Magnificus full playthroughs, considering what we saw glimpses of that would have been really cool. But honestly I understand the creator was trying to forge a narrative here, but basically this is a "play once dont touch again" type of game with zero replayability, which was something I was hoping for since the Card themed rougelike experience with the cabin part was really nice and I think the best part of the game. If there were 4 different stages, for each of the scribes, with them having their own sub bosses... yeah the game could have been lot of fun long term. Yeah to bad we didnt get to play those instead of the boring cyber world... The creator of the game should consider releasing a non story mode, or Game+ where you can just play a rouge like game choosing whichever of the 4 Scribes worlds you wanna play in.

I feel like your comments on the three acts reflect those in charge. Act two is just a game, fun, but more hollow then the others. act three is run by stoat, cold, rational, missing the wild possibilities of the other two untill he lets you make a card. But act one, leshy, he loves what he does, he enjoys playing you, he lives for your encounters, even the line about how your time standing he just uses to plan encounters says it all, leshy cares about the experience more then the others and it’s reflected by his game. Just like how stoat disregards setting and plot right out of the gate where as leshy thrives on it. Honestly, not the sort of game that’s likely to get one, but I’d kill for a dlc that’s just you sitting down and playing leshy, not for some grand stakes but just because you both love the game

oh I loooooved this little dancing dude in a green hat!! I was so glad to see him again in the credits!!! like the ending was heartbreaking but this little dude has brought me so much joy through the sadness

Cheese this one is longer than the last episode and done in two episode like you promised! Everyone's freaking out about how strong your Manly card is it's practically a legend now!

Oh man. Turns out the meta aspect of this game REALLY stepped up. Sorry for Manly's friends featured in the video

The dummy is also amazing for making the ouroboros insanely powerful, especially since you can make a deck entirely out of sacrifices because you don’t need to worry about being damaged

I did not know Grimora was such a sweetheart the ending of this game made me cry

I’d love to have a postgame that’s just the Rouge-Like with the four hosts.

I haven't finished the video yet so idk if this comes up later, but Karnöffel is an European card game from 1426, the oldest identifiable card game we know of

I would love to have an unofficial ending where you and the other scrybes somehow get rid of the OLD_DATA without sacrificing the entire world. It would be great to see Grimora welcome you to her story part, Leshy being happy to see you visit him again, Magnificus' students sorting out their stranded relationship with their master, and P03 being totally disrespectful to the player for turning his entire board upside down during that last part. It would not be as great a story as the current storyline but I think it would do great as a way to explore the characters and give the player a way to have an infinite mode where the scrybes and other characters commented on their great time.
