Prequel ARG
The prequel ARG took place during the week leading up to the 2022/02/25 Kevin Saxby stream.
It involved the Woodcarver appearing in the Discord. People sent her DMs and received responses giving hints leading up to the stream.
For more info, see the document here, or the page here.

2022/02/25 Stream
During the stream on 2022/02/25 on Kevin Saxby’s channel, Kevin and Daniel showed a trailer for the Kaycee's Mod ARG.
This teaser was created by Kevin.
The video was created by Secundus.
During the reveal, we can see the name of the file he’s clicking on:
0813QROHJSdcL;Kq3wr0u=xdzcpljkn
No secrets have been found yet.
The second half of the code, separated by the ‘;’ doesn’t appear to link to any specific youtube video, even when put through a base64 decoder.
There are a few things of note in the trailer:

A summary of the events.
A summary of the events.
We voted on boulders in the Prospector's channel, and he revealed the cards underneath the boulders to us.
The cards' power and health corresponded to the letters A-Z, making sets of two letters for each card.
After revealing five cards, we unlocked the Angler's channel.
In the Angler's channel, we voted on giving a card to the Angler, and the Angler responded with a certain phrase, depending on the card - "This Fish? Good Fish." for example.
We also voted to give the Angler a Pelt, which unlocked the Trader's channel.
In the Trader's channel, we voted to get information on certain individuals (the Prospector, Angler, Trader, and Woodcarver), or a mystery hint.
After some hints from the Trader, we realized that each "fish" phrase corresponded to a certain grouping of cards. The first group resulted in the code DAMPNSOGGY.
At this point, Administrator (MrInvizible#8900) began to more actively take a role as the antagonist, taunting us to come up with a way to use the code (and giving us hints with the taunts), while threatening to "take over the server."
After a some time, JellyDan#3672 discovered that using the Dyno command "?DAMPNSOGGY" caused Azazel.exe to react and send a message with a link to a YouTube video, "Reason of Arrival".
After discovering the first command, we progressed quickly, grouping the other card letter sets, and discovering the commands "?RAZORSHARP", "?PALESICKLY", and "?LEMONLIME". Each of the commands unlocked another video - "OLD_DATA in Scrybe's Hands", "The Trinket?" and "Deep Beneath", respectively.
Within these videos, people found the codes "KVC1", "SSZD2", "UIWC3", and "FGSP4". These were decoded using a Vignere Cypher with "ROYAL" as the key, translating to "THE SHIP WILL RISE".
After finding the fourth code and video, Administrator went on a villain monologue and deleted the Prospector channel history. However, afterwards, the Static!Glitch!Card showed up as options for the Prospector and Angler. We decided to hook the Static!Glitch!Card and give it to the Trader following a message from the Woodcarver saying to "beat Administrator at his own game."
Once we gave the Trader the Static!Glitch!Card, Administrator began to "take over the server" and removed the Prospector, Angler, and Trader channels.
However, the last binary channel's name changed to #_-_-_-_-_, and the Woodcarver posted her "masterpiece", a final video called "Oh To Be Unleashed".
This video contained the code "RUYIY", which translates to "AGAIN".
This was combined with the previous videos' codes to form the final command - "?THESHIPWILLRISEAGAIN".
Using this command sends a link to the final video: "Inscryption - Royal Teaser", a teaser for the final encounter of Kaycee's Mod, Royal Dominguez.
DAMPNSOGGY was the first code, found from the "This Fish? Good Fish." cards.
Hint from the Trader:
Moist, like a swamp.
Seems to correspond to the Reptile Totem.
Code found:
KVC1
Using the Azazel command ?DAMPNSOGGY causes the bot to send a message to the user linking to a YouTube video, "Reason of Arrival".
Discovered by JellyDan. First Azazel.exe message here.
Azazel.exe:
I see you, @USERNAME. You see more knowledge. I, @The Woodcarver will provide.
The bot also sends a DM to the user.
Dyno:

RAZORSHARP was the second code, found from the "Good Fish? Good Pick." cards.
Hint from the Trader:
Honed, like a blade.
Seems to correspond to the Canine Totem.
Code found:
SSZD2
Using the Azazel command ?RAZORSHARP causes the bot to send a message to the user linking to a YouTube video, "OLD_DATA in Scrybe's Hands".
Discovered by Redcreeper. First Azazel.exe message here.
Azazel.exe:
@USERNAME, you are fragile. Just like Inscryption; a fragile creation shaped and reshaped by the Scrybes. Behold, it reshapes into something worse once again. @The Woodcarver suffers once more.
The bot also sends a DM to the user.
Dyno:
Daniel Mullins Games: https://youtu.be/p2WCIAjJsE4
PALESICKLY was the third code, found from the "Fish. Good. Good fish." cards.
Hint from the Trader:
White as a ghost.
Seems to correspond to the Avian Totem.
Code found:
uiwc3
Using the Azazel command ?PALESICKLY causes the bot to send a message to the user linking to a YouTube video, "The Trinket?".
Discovered by DED010. First Azazel.exe message here.
Azazel.exe:
@USERNAME has started shattering the fabric of Inscryption. Will my teachings have any value?
The bot also sends a DM to the user.
Dyno:
Daniel Mullins Games: https://youtu.be/ZT6AJtvaK8E
LEMONLIMES was the fourth code, found from the "Good Fish. Easy Choose." cards.
Hint from the Trader:
Sour as a ...hm? Strange... Perhaps it has some other meaning.
Seems to correspond to the Hooved Totem.
Code found:
FGSP4
Using the Azazel command ?LEMONLIMES causes the bot to send a message to the user linking to a YouTube video, "Deep Beneath".
Discovered by Human128. First Azazel.exe message here.
Azazel.exe:
@USERNAME do you consider these challenges misleading? Then perhaps I must guide you down another path. The corruption arrives.
The bot also sends a DM to the user.
Dyno:
Daniel Mullins Games: https://youtu.be/7E43iM4xq8k
This also triggered Administrator's monologue, the deletion of the #prospector channel history, and the appearance of the DEEPBENEATH static cards as choices.

When the Mycologists are posted in the #prospector and/or #angler channels, it means we are able to choose two cards, instead of just one.

Discord Staff
Discord Staff
This is an official ARG, but the Discord staff have been in charge of making it happen instead of Daniel Mullins! Thank you!! You guys have all been super great, and all your work is super appreciated!
Specifically, thank you Secundus and MrInvizible for playing the roles below:
Secundus (Secundus#0616):
Appears to be on "our" side.
Created the trailer video.
Rooted for us when discovering the ?secretcodes!
ASS SUPPORTER
Administrator (MrInvizible#8900):
Playing the role of the "antagonist".
GameFuna employee.
Has been taunting us, but giving hints within the taunts.
ASS (see memes below)
Fanart by Saph#6774!!!
In summary:
Administrator is a GameFuna employee, tasked with keeping the OLD_DATA hidden, and a plan to take over the server to prevent us from learning more.
These puzzles are how Secundus is helping the Woodcarver slip information to us! We cannot prevent the calamity, but we can prepare ourselves for it.
my analysis of the conflict is that there's two separate fights going on
the truth about kaycee's murder
us: wanting it revealed
admin: wanting it secluded
old data: helping us reveal it
containment of the old data
us: willing to risk breaching containment of it
admin: wants to keep it under wraps
old data: very willing to help us let it free
sado could target the cast of the hex, or gamefuna/gameworks itself, or the cast of inscryption because they're from a gamefuna game... either way i think she's one side in this fight that shouldn't be discounted.
i count 5 sides in this war:
we wanna find out as much info as possible and to heck with the consequences
sado/amanda wants old data to be unleashed so she can use it to continue screwing with lionel posthumously
admin/gamefuna wants to suppress the truth about kaycee and prevent the old data from getting out
old data wants to be free
woodcarver wants to prevent us from just wildly flinging open the door for the old data, and understands that we want info about kaycee and is helping us get it as safely as possible. she failed by the way and is likely dead. whoops!
Administrator has also been having a steadily-growing-minor-mental-breakdown the more we discover.
Just... you need to understand. Do you know how hard it is to go to a faculty meeting... and like, I have to explain that you have found something important, and I need to... I needed to show this to my boss. Like, I have to make summary reports and... I have to take screenshots do you know how HARD it is to find literally anywhere... you have no class, none of you. I just...
Administrator also can't read spoiler text, and #kmod-arg did a bit of taunting back.
Secundus, however, can read spoiler text.
In response to the fourth command, ?LEMONLIMES, being discovered.
ENOUGH!
Heh... that worked. Now that I've got your attention.
Cute... really cute everyone. You think this is over? That I'm scared?
I don't care that you solved my puzzles. I don't care that you cracked my codes. And I don't even care that some of you have discovered my secrets!
Because here's the thing...
You don't have proof.
Simple
Just speculation, theory, circumstantial evidence from old, long-forgotten sources.
You can't prove anything. And as long as you can't... I'm still in the clear. I win!
And now I have enough power to go and wipe everything clean. All your hard work, everything you've found. I'll take it all down.
Any objections? ... no? Just speak up?
..... that's what I figured <3
Now, let's end this!
[Note: Prospector channel history was wiped.]
And don't worry, I'll give you your precious chats back.
It'll be fun to watch you panic!
Now, to find everything and scrub it clean.
... as soon as I ... find everything... hidden among... a million assministrator memes... this could... this may take longer than I thought.
Now that the ARG is done, and Royal is revealed, the Adminstrator has failed in his duties.
Perhaps he's dead... perhaps he's on the run...
Perhaps, just perhaps.... he'll be back someday.
i bring a gift
bonus
hold on made it better
