The commitment to not swearing while some randomer is chasing people down with a machete is hilarious 😂

[@cahns5025]

this game reminds me of world of horror which most definitely drew inspiration

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

I had such anxiety from that voice over talking about the brakes while showing feet over both the accelerator and clutch pedals 😂

[@TheCellarTaigenMoon]

LMAO

Ms Dos games always provide the best kind of massive Kusoge energy, no matter the budget.

That's Last Half of Darkness Yes, they brought me a nightmare from that jumpscare before the Blood Ghost in the closet in Extra Cryspy difficulty in episode 2.

[@TheCellarTaigenMoon]

That was a scary ghost

Oui

Stumbled across this randomly and wanted to tell you that I thought it was cool and I’m going to check out more of your stuff. I love seeing such solid content from creators with lower view counts. I hope you’re still making!

[@TheCellarTaigenMoon]

I have certainly not stopped making videos

[@andrespiess820]

I got this in my recommendations. Screenshotet it and now watching it - It‘s amazing. Great Video 👌

[@nickokapo9761]

I am really interesting in obscure games..specially DOS ones. When seeing last half of darkness, the atmosphere and color palette reminded me of another, newer (by abandonware standards) game which i couldn't remember the name of. It was called "Romantic Blue"!I've yet to play it, but someone in a blog made a neatly self contained installable package with everything you need to just click on it and have it run, kind of like GOG does. (i think "The Collection Chamber", many win95 and dos oddities and obscurities there!)

[@TheCellarTaigenMoon]

Uh... Why don't you keep an eye out for the next video lol

Commodore 64 had a ton of horror games. Most notably, Project Firestart.

[@TheCellarTaigenMoon]

Interesting, I'd never heard of it

[@gamingkitsune1947]

well done!

[@FleetStreetBarber765]

Looks pretty interesting never saw gameplay before thanks for the post 😊

The titular Psycho Killer looks like Jerry Seinfeld.
God, I appreciate you, mate. I love that you share my taste for utter garbage. Keep shining on, you glorious raccoon.

[@magicmike618]

if you are playing uninvited on dosbox, it is looking for A:\ to save onto floppy disk

[@joe--cool]

I don't think it ever took more than 5 seconds between scenes on my old 386DX-40 with single speed CD-ROM. Something must be wrong with your setup. Game is still super cheesy though.

[@TheCellarTaigenMoon]

Hm, odd, might've been an issue with my settings or DOSbox itself

[@loganjorgensen]

4:58 Just thinking I should mention that Psycho Killer doesn't really use FMV like in the standard codec and playback sense. It's much closer to animated GIFs than video files, so largely it's rendering graphics raw and largely uncompressed hence having to slowly load swap from large batch file to large batch file. Same with the separate audio files likely processed in standard sample playback methods.
I get the impression they made it for a diskette based format that was then converted to work with a CD-ROM, hence why it's so short or small in footprint size. So basically you trade load times for not actually needing MPEG decoder hardware to run it. People were trying lots of things before optical drive capacity and streaming came along.🙂

[@TheCellarTaigenMoon]

Don't know enough about the technology to have made that connection, but it makes a lot of sense!

[@loganjorgensen]

@@TheCellarTaigenMoon Yeah it can be a dense subject matter. The main thing was PK came out in a transitional period when CD-ROMs were new so you find odd standards like that.
FMV's debut was rough since the hardware for it was too expensive for the era of it's relevance.🤕
