* During Chapter 1, your stoat card will continuously fall asleep if not put in play, and admonish you for playing him once woken up. Later, it's revealed that the stoat was actually one of the original four Scrybes in the game, and furthermore, it was a TVHeadRobot. What happens when a computer is left idle for too long? It enters [[JustForPun "sleep mode"!]]

* As is made rather abundantly clear in ''VideoGame/TheHex'', [=GameFuna=] is run by {{Satan}}. It's implied that he himself created the ''Inscryption'' video game as a means of decrypting the OLD_DATA which contains, among other things, the Karnoffel Code, heavily implied by the ''Kaycee's Mod'' dev notes to be the activation sequence to a Nazi doomsday device which could easily wipe out over half of Europe in the blink of an eye. Now remember that, by the time Amanda murders Luke and takes the disk, the game's purpose has been fulfilled: the OLD_DATA has been completely decrypted and unpacked, and now that unlocked data is back in [=GameFuna's=] hands. In case it needs to be spelled out: Satan now has the key to exterminating ''hundreds of millions of people'' instantly, and many, many more in the long term as the fallout likely leads to World War III... and what's worse, he could do so ''[[ParanoiaFuel at any time]]''. So remember [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain that bumbling, incompetent game developer]] from way back in ''VideoGame/PonyIsland''? [[BewareTheSillyOnes He's finally]] [[TookALevelInBadass stopped]] [[LetsGetDangerous fucking around]], [[TheBadGuyWins and he's a single press of a button away from getting all the souls he could ever want]].

* Whenever the OLD_DATA manifests in-game, it's always as a glitchy, corrupted mess. The OLD_DATA is supposed to be based off of the Karnoffel Code, a computer program created by {{Satan}}. If you then assume that this is the same Satan who coded ''VideoGame/PonyIsland'', it suddenly makes perfect sense why the OLD_DATA is all glitchy and broken - [[ContinuityNod Lucifer's notoriously bad programming skills haven't improved a lick]].

** Given that the cards belonged to Kaycee, presumably she's the one who buried it. We also know she had at least some solid idea about OLD_DATA, which may be why she wanted it buried. As for why she wrote down the coordinates, you never know when it might need to be retreived or even just moved.

* How and why was the digital copy buried where it was in the first place, and why was the location written on what's assumed to be a piece of paper in a resealed "Inscryption" booster pack that was sold at a garage sale? Given that GameFuna is so paranoid about not wanting it to be found at all to the point of sending someone to kill Luke just for finding it and not giving it back, one would think that the location would never have been written down.

* As Leshy welcomes you for the final round of in his cabin in Act 3, he wistfully reminisces: "There never seems to be enough time to do the things you want to do, once you've found them". This is an (almost) exact quotation from Jim Croce's song [[https://genius.com/Jim-croce-time-in-a-bottle-lyrics ''Time In A Bottle'']]. If he's such a big fan of the song, that probably explains why some of his bonus items follow a "_____ In A Bottle" format.

** Another parallel is of course the game itself - hidden beneath "The Great Transcendence", the game is waiting to emerge and infect the world with its' horrors.

* There is a small physical resemblance between the Lonely Wizard and Leshy (two bulging eyes in the dark). This makes more sense when you remember that all the Scrybes seem to hate or resent each other, and that it's not above them to try and capture people in their games - e.g. Grimora's pet zombies, or Leshy's deathcards. The Lonely Wizard is Magnificus' attempt at mocking Leshy.

** The in-game Kaycee is a red herring. It doesn’t represent the real Kaycee or how she died - it’s just an easter egg she most likely added into the game herself, because she worked in QA. Ironically, the in-game Kaycee died from ice-related causes - the exact opposite to how she died in ‘real’ life. P03 even lampshades this by having her melt the ice in the Grimora section of the holoworld.
** In ''Kaycee's Mod'', the developer notes that Leshy was using her ghoul's skull to store the victory teeth, so it existed before she died (it's not unheard of for developers to put little cameos and references in their games).
