The Analysis of Andy and Leyley | Recipes for the Entire Family and Wholesome Family Values™

Just some thoughts about the game. Reiterating that the topics covered are very sensitive - this is a Psychological Horror game after all. The Coffin of Andy and Leyley is on Steam, very highly recommended by me. Chapters 3a and 3b are estimated to be released in the middle of 2024 - I'm not an official source on that it's just what I've heard. I did ask around for sources on the memes I've use...
I never figured out much about the violet on my own, but just that couple of lines you spoke about it made it click. I just finished bingewatching this series, and you have been incredible at connecting the dots between bits of lore that I did not quite understand throughout all of these videos. Looking forward to more!
Thank you :) I agree that the lore is very difficult to understand if for no other reason than it seems that everything important seems to have about 5 different names which are all used interchangeably.
YES
Nice Videos, from the two big Cultist Lore video chanels a bit more deep dived and "fully" explained. But neat videos nevertheless. Just maybe get something for the backround noise of your microphone. Even though you did a good job eliminating it, it is still noticable. But audio stuff is a part of IT that is like black magic to me, five different solutions for one problem and all are correct
Interesting, I haven’t seen any other channels doing what I’ve done, what are they called? Background noise is a difficult one - I’m not trained in any kind of audio engineering and I’m very against spending any money on UA-cam since I’m confident I won’t be making a single cent from it. I did spend a lot of time cleaning up the audio in the ways I could, but if you can point me towards any good tutorials (or anything else) I would appreciate it
@@HandsomeLib @aditopian is the other guy that made some good cultist lore videos. On the audio question, yeah that is something I have also my problems in the few projects I have done, sadly not much I can say on it and not much I know. I could go and ask some sound people I know, at the moment my best guess would as good as any sadly. It is appreciated by me how much time goes into cleaning audio, truly. Just wanted to let you know there is some left that can be noticable, but it is not "horrible", after the first two or three videos I tuned it out.
Absolutely fabulous video! I'm so excited to see videos on this! I've exhausted the patience of everyone around me trying to work through the lore. I feel like I have no one to talk to about it
They’re a very niche and unapproachable subject, I think - I doubt these videos will ever hit more Mainstream popularity but I’m hoping the niche can be filled just a little bit
this is actually true
I think the riddle's answer relates to Moth. Hence it should be my favourite aspect next.
I am so glad I'm not the only one who HATES Julian. I can't swear on UA-cam but understand if I could... There would be no end to the words I would use.
He has an interesting position, but like many revolutionaries I think it’s a shortsighted one. I do like it when raiding the Gwaer Inn vault, where it’s vaguely implied Julian is a fan of naughty material stored there
Please do Lantern next!
So glad I found this channel, been looking for good Cultish Simulator content for ages! Subbed!
I’m glad you like it!
Two missing histories I believe is because of the two hours who rose from the seven coiled. The seven coiled was an hour of knock and edge, of connections and divisions, which could have something to do with the seperation of the histories. And two of them may have been destroyed or consumed by the Mother and Colonel as they rose
She arises from wounds, and she loves those already wounded
Wounds are thresholds, and thresholds are meant to be passed.
You saved Lantern for last... Dang it! I was never so annoyed yet eager to see new video! I think you can call it fascination
Full disclosure: since Lantern is one of the most abstract and difficult lores (for me) to understand I’ve been putting it off for a while
I really liked your video! I just wish you hadn't used AI art. I'd much prefer to see something of your own creation
Thank you - the purpose of it is so that there’s something on the screen rather than the background, and for some of the more abstract explanations there isn’t anything in-game that could be used for it. I experimented with stock photos and using more memes but in my opinion it threw off the tone of the sections I would have used them in quite severely
@@HandsomeLib I understand that feeling. I personally would be more interested in seeing things you draw, even if they're just stick figures
Its a bit interesting that you dont begin the video with a explanation or disclaimer. Adressing the controversy/ the context around the game is incredibly important for an "analysis". And it also restricts the potential audience to people who already know what the game is/ what its about. Like I as an veiwer am very interested about WTF this game is about. From my breif understanding the game is about the siblings and their relationship. So its integeral that the relationship be the focal point of an analysis, everything else in the game is secondary no? So in this video why is the relationship never actually explained? Who are these two? What are they doing? Why are they doing it? Also it feels like you're reading far too much from a script and not telling an audience about the game. Hopefully this was useful criticism. Games like this are niech and widely misunderstood. So Its important to do them justice when analysed. Maybe going through the game chronologically would help?
Once the game is completed, I think a revisit of TCAL will occur - if nothing else I’ve learned a fair bit about audio and video production that I would be able to apply to it
As a Fallen London player, it’s really cool to see echoes of that in Cultist Sim. Specifically the term “Delicious Friend” and the general concept of an ever hungry thing being associated with the number seven (Seeking Mr.Eaten’s Name).
Grail was my first ascention - very fun path.
I am gonna kiss you right on the mouth for this service, optimal toil listen. mwah
I feel like referring to a god who went well out of their way to ensure their ascension was a gender transition as well as the gender they transitioned from is a good way to get that god speaking your name to the Malevolents
Quite! Memory isn’t serving on who the malevolents are right now, though
@@HandsomeLib The Wolf Divided has Malevolents instead of Long in the same way Meniscate has Reflections instead of Long to denote their more strange natures. Malevolents are basically people who have sworn themselves towards the Wolf's goal of ending everything.
Spy jumpscare 💀
I couldn’t resist
@@HandsomeLib Please put a trigger warning if you're going to mention the french :( (I'm french)
@@CassandraHearts as someone who has spent significant amounts of time in France, I’ll take that request to “Heart”
@@HandsomeLib My deepest condoleances. On a more serious note, your video's great!
Yaaaay content
I’ll try to keep going :D
Gimmmeee lanternnnnnnnn
It’s-a-coming!
7:55 while it possible that he refers to the Forge here, it’s much more likely it the ant mother he tells us about. (If i recall, we do get a knock lore out of the interaction) Not to mention him being a name under the god from blood would hamper knowing about gods from light before they became that (if there even a before for them)
Using any of the Threshers of Thoughts produced Knock Lore, not only Ezeem. It would also have known about the FoD since she became an hour in the same event as the RG, I don’t see how Ezeem wouldn’t have known. That being said, since it specifically says “Her arms were fewer” then you could well be right, the Mother of Ants being a God from Flesh would make a lot more sense in terms of meeting a Name pre-ascension
YES MY ASPECT
I’m not sure I want to ask which aspect of the Grail principle you embody
I didn't know there was anyone out there exploring the Lore of the Linrary. It's a very mystical and fascinating world, making you forget the reality around you. I love Cultist Simulator like a symbiotic parasite nurtured by its host. It hasn't let me go yet. It makes me want to understand so much. Thanks for talking about this!
Thank you for the kind words - I had been hoping for a UA-camr to cover the lore for quite some time but I figured it wasn’t likely to happen any time soon, so I might as well give it a shot :)
omg best thing to come home from work to
I’m glad you think so! Thank you :)
Remember folks, Grail with an immortal is only okay if say gex.
Excellent work! Do you think you'll make videos covering the new aspects from book of hours (Scale, Sky, Moon, Nectar), or just the eight from cultsim (or nine, if you count Rose as the same as Secret Histories)?
It’s tough, my expectation is that “Secret Histories” won’t have much meat by itself since there is just not a lot to talk about regarding it - whether that means that I would instead do a video about the five new powers combined or separate videos for each one is something I won’t be sure about until I start writing about one of them. In general I feel that the new powers are not as fleshed out as the aspects from Cult Sim, and we don’t get many stories relating to them since the Librarians are always very holistic in their approach to the invisible arts. That being said, I don’t expect it’ll be that long before I either have to make a decision or start making videos that are more than just Lore overviews
@@HandsomeLib This might change with the upcoming expansion(s) though, may be a good thing to finish the cultist ones and see what is on the horizons
Good work
Thank you, I put a fair bit of effort into this one
This came in just as I was under the influence of Grail. Make of that as you would
May I direct you to the video on Edge?
MOM LOOK MORE CULTIST SIM LORE
I personally like Crosley, as far as I understand it, he hates the Hours, and I feel likewise
I’m interested as to what JC’s ideal setup for the Mansus really would be. I think there’s limited evidence that he’s seeking a return of Gods From Stone (specifically one named Snow), but we don’t have much information about it afaik
@@HandsomeLib I’d personally like a Mansus of black nephrite, the perfect city is the one unbuilt. I don’t feel that J.C. would want the gods from stone, they’re just an older flavor of tyrant, especially The Wheel, that damn ceaseless wheel.
These lore dives are inspiring, I’m tempted to do a lore-centric playthrough of Book Of Hours now
It’s worth it, BoH shakes up a lot of assumptions from cultist simulator
Nice, just waited for the next part. Really like your content.
Thank you :)
The Iron Wolf is a symbol of Lithuanian armed forces. It is based on the legend of the foundation of Vilnius, which states that great Duke Gediminas slept after a hunt, and dreamt of an iron wolf, sitting on a hill, howling in the night. Gediminas' priest Lizdeika saw the dream as an omen and told him: "On that hill, you must build a castle, and around the castle, you must build a city which will become your country's new capital."
Interesting, when reading up about it I saw claims on the wikis that the Iron Wolf referred to in-game was a group of Axis collaborators in Lithuania - doing my own research led me to believe there were wider connotations but I hadn’t come across that particular story
Lantern lantern LANTERNNNN
Winter subverts edge, forge is subverted by edge, heart subverts winter (knock doesn’t count), therefore lantern or grail is next. “What drives us?” Thirst? Pleasure? Or is it knowledge? What we seek from these videos?
That’s a great response to the riddle, I love it
Let’s goooo! Love the video!
lovely lovely , heart
OMG U HEART HEHE
Enjoying your videos a lot, You're always very quiet in these videos though. I end up having to turn up the volume on my entire computer.
I noted this and tried to make things louder in my latest video - when listening back on my PC and phone it sounds normal to me - I only have secondhand headphones and I keep my volume at about 30 and didn’t have any issues there. hopefully it’ll be resolved if I stick to what I tried doing in my new video :)
I’m looking forward to moth ❤
Ooh yes, I am so happy I found this channel
I’m happy you did, too :)
Oh my, this is amazing! Straight through the keyhole and into the Mansus 🔑🌙
43:31 "There are edge cases" I'm not sure if that's a pun or something else
i have no idea what i just watched
Welcome to our cult
Definitely one of my favorite channel ❤❤
What the fuck I thought this was a medical video
The only medical advice I can give is to avoid percussigants
This is vital medical lore, it will be on the test that's coming up last week?? what?
@@Alfenium It's so over... I fabricated my Phd with Chat gpt and it told me to use this video as a step by step tutorial for heart surgery
@@Shizkeb for realzies?? Well, I've never operated on a heart but I've made paper heart cutouts for elementary school crafts and I assume it's basically the same thing :p It's easy squeezy...
The charm of Heart lies in how violent the maintenance of life and status quo is. 7:10 applies not only to secrecy but also to how the rejection of a choice is also a choice, often a violent one.
Exactly, Heart is probably the most benign lore to an observer, but learning about it reveals that it’s as dark as any other
@HandsomeLib Ah yes my favorite lore, Desire. Im guessing its Grail?
Histories and lantern next 🔥
I leave a small riddle at the end for the next one!
I always played with the idea to make a channel of my own discussing the secret histories setting. seeing you just go for it makes me want to try.
