            Yes, the Golly fight actually does use your Steam friends and you receive a card from online. The second phase is you making a card and sending it to someone and if they beat the first phase, you automatically win the second phase.

        The idea apparently is that there's something hidden beneath Berlin- some sort of huge machine. There's a code that will unlock it, discovered by the Nazis. That code, and the knowledge of what the machine is, and what was done to keep it hidden by the governments of the world, is the OLD_DATA.

        Ehh, I liked my own interpretation like the OLD_DATA the game was referring to was a sort of IRL cheat code similar to Chim which is why characters in the game could change their own universe when they got it. All the Satan/Hitler stuff is just cringe.

        At least Kaycee mod was fun and somewhat lighthearted. Probably should have changed the name though since people think its actually a mod when it's an base addition to the game.

        Not really. I also argued with a bunch of discord homosexuals during it because they had great leaps in logic about the ARG, but they'd just point at a google docs summary by some guy and say 'this is the word of god' even though its just some guy summarizing it. The solvers randomly guessed the correct code for one part and thought it had to do with holes on a roof, yet that had nothing to do with the correct answer, and there was a different intended way to find it.

      The issues with Mox are that you have to clog your own board with worthless cards to play anything worthwhile. I myself would:
      >make Mox actually work like a land instead of a shittier version: they go outside the board as a resource
      >make Mox stronger: there's already cards that give your Mox fighting power. make wizards focus heavily on supporting mox, giving them buffs, entire sigils, more health, having the buffs stick around even after the guy dies.

    The ARG doesn't completely ruin it but the fact that it has to be three different games- one a weaker version of the one you start with- kind of hurts.

        The meta to beat Kaycee effortlessly is basically to take Mantis God and only draw creatures that cost a sacrifice. The game will always start your hand with one no-cost creature so you're guaranteed every time to draw it. It will end every fight in two turns, and then you upgrade/split/sew it together to the point it has insane attack, like 30, and then does it 3 times every turn.

        You have to adjust for the prospector, but it's very easy. I wish I hadn't learned about it.

            The game stacks your deck for you so that you're always able to get a monster on the board turn 1.
            You draw one free side-deck card, one main-deck card that you could deploy immediately, then 2 random main-deck cards. So if Mantis God is the only possible main-deck card that could be played turn-1, you will always draw it.

          At the start of act 2 they ask you who you want to replace, I chose the P03 because I like technology, when act 3 began I was like "WOW!! ALL 4 SCRYBES HAVE THEIR OWN GAMEMODE?" but no, turns out I just chose the right guy

      I hope we get something like what the "original" game was supposed to be like before P03 fricked with everything, with the different but equally spooky and mysterious locations and different game masters who change up the game in their own unique ways.

        I mean, that's just Act 2.
        I wouldn't mind a fleshed-out Act 2 as a standalone game, but we already got what you asked for.

          Yeah i see your point, its gay enough that i quit before getting skull storm since the whole bloody gamemode is just rolling to get an op card.

          Honestly act 3 format is better, act 1 atmoshpere is just unmatched.

    You literally don't even notice the ARG stuff in game, you have to go out of the way to seek that shit out. So no it ruins nothing, just play the game if that's all you want.

      Act 2 sucks ass. Wish there was a roguelite version of Act 3, but Kaycee's Mod is still pretty fun.

      It's nazis and Satan. Inscryption is linked to The Hex which is linked to Pony Island. In Pony Island, you have to play a game made by Satan himself and try to break it to have your soul be free. In The Hex, an indie dev called Lionel sells his games to a company called GameFuna and they frick some shit up. GameFuna is owned by Louis Natas. Lou(cifer) is nataS = Satan. In Inscryption, GameFuna still owns all of Lionel's work and Inscryption as well. There are hints to this, as Secrets of Legendaria is from The Hex.
      Not sure how the nazis and Hitler himself fit into all of this, but yeah. Nazis and Satan and capitalism. All together. Also there might be a loose entity.
      In The Hex again, Lionel eventually makes his own company and has an old friend work for him. She makes a character called Sado, which looks creepy and ends up glitching everything out and creeping out Lionel. In Inscryption, when Amanda shoots Luke, for one frame, Sado's face shows up instead of hers.

      I have no clue what anything I said means, but that's the story kinda
