    Maybe Daniel Mullins is actually a cover name for PO-3 and he released it to the world onto Steam.
    And the game he ended up releasing to the world was a heap of files that were built and throwing them together before the game was deleted, that’s why Lukes files are inside the game and he doesn’t remember succeeding because he’s just a piece of copied file of the PO-3 who was deleted.

    So not only did P03 get the last laugh, he made himself heard across the internet of major part of the world, and the joke is not only on Leshy and scribes, but more so on Gametuna.

    Food for thought, I would just like to remind everyone that the game were playing is not actually inscryption. Inscryption was deleted, we saw it happen. What we are playing is a gamified version of Luke Carder’s footage, which is likely what P03 actually sent into the internet after everything else was erased. It was the only piece of inscryption that survived because it wasn’t part of the official game.

      Yes and no... Depending on where the games are hosted, it's entirely possible that he's able to make updates and "patches" to the games to put in secret codes Alternatively, he can have been hiding clues in his games for years, with most of them being unrelated ciphers, so that he can plug them in as he sees fit. After all, the other games only contain codes, not content.
