I think he represents Jonas's poce for himself, but he looks grotesque in appearance becuase of how Jonas felt like he wasn't worth anything so in time he saw himself as a monster.
That ending monologue of the last "demon" had a lot of really armor-piercing questions and statements, but the moment Mark voiced out the words "You need to forgive yourself," I could physically feel my chest lighten, breathing freely as if it was restricted before (and maybe it was). I don't know if I will ever stop absolutely loathing myself but this game truly gave me a new perspective on how to deal with it. Man, it's been over 30 minutes since I finished the video but my chest still feels as warm as it did since listening to the ending parts of this game. This is absolutely beautiful.
I think I figured out the demon who won’t speak. That is the demon of isolation/silence and/or loneliness. “Every time you remained silent. Every time you refused someone’s help. It’s killing you [Jonas]. Open up. Trust someone. ...Please.” At least, that’s my theory.
I'm paranoia! And you're watching Markiplier。 p.s. I would be resignation because literally, my name is a shortened version that is lazy Alice. I gave up on so many things that I like to mask it as being lazy.
So, if anyone's not getting it, this gentleman Jonas, when he was a child, was left by his mother to look after his little brother. He left the room the little brother was in for a brief moment, the kid climbed onto something and fell off, more than likely cracked his head wide open, and died. The mother must have committed suicide later on, and Jonas feels like everything bad that happened was his fault, and wouldn't let himself lead a happy life, drowning his emotions in alcohol and porn and sabotaging his marriage. This went on until the events of this game. It's like a dark, awful version of inside out.
17:48 in that moment, Mark's facial expression to that sentence shows me that he is really playing while filming, and has no previous knowledge of the plot. That was genuine realization on the spot.
It's hard to believe that the one person in the entire world we are the cruelest to exists within us, and we don't realize it until we begin to collapse. I love this game so much because it personifies our subconscious self and gives us a new perspective on our own emotional onslaught. Thank you for playing this, Mark.
This game summed up in a vine: "Just remember: No one can hate you more than you already hate yourself." Very accurate to life. No one could ever hate you, judge you, criticize you, or doubt you more than yourself. You are your own worst enemy.
I have PTSD and I was starting to tense up and get nervous about whether or not I should be watching this.... I stuck through it and the end was so heart warming :) it surprised me I was expecting it to end badly
This game is disturbing and beautiful. It also is realistic in a way. It shows us the emotions of grief and not everyone goes through all of these. It's disturbing because almost all demons have something disgusting about them or say something horrifying. This game is realistic because people have a emotional struggle during grief and they suffer many negative emotions, but we can at least have hope and try at the last stage of grief. You guys may think something else, but this is what I think of the game
I haven’t felt this lightened feeling in my chest in almost 5 years... I haven’t felt emotions. I’m a bit late to the party, but that ending left me thinking,”I need to take care of my thoughts- they love me, but they haven’t seen the light for a while.” I would write something more emotional, but it’s late and I need to take care of myself.
I too have some thoughts that disturb me, but most of the time I often give in to the thoughts...might explain why I’m super pessimistic and hide out in my room.
It’s been over a year since you commented this, but I hope that your have taken care of yourself! Even if you relapse in certain things, I hope that you are kinder to yourself ❤️❤️❤️
The message of this game is so important, and the way it's handled here is magnificent. This is one of my favorite games/experience. And also, on a sidenote, damn Mark!! Your voices are on-point!! It just added to this :D
ETPS I do like this game, it’s how I feel rn, like a failure, I would have given up years ago, unless I finally leted out my deepest interest and found a place where I belong.
It's just a game within the horror genre, don't think too much into it. The creator just wanted to creep you out by touching on a social illusion that everyone thinks they are depressed and have 'inner demons '. When society as we know it is made up of spoiled pompous emo kids, but I get your point, your just thinking to much into it. The dude/dude et that wrote this game has not experienced the actual subject, therefor don't take it to seriously.
@@bladuilolarius524 to call this a social illusion is incorrect in my eyes. Although it may not be based off a true story, true characters, or everything about grief, the dude may have rewrote the events to match how his own life feels. Sure, the dude may have not come in contact with a cult or lost his brother (if he even has one), but the cult can represent THOSE MINORITY OF PEOPLE and Jonas' brother could represent something or someone else he cared for. Perhaps the Cult killing his brother in front of him with him doing nothing about it could portray something around Someone's little cousin getting bullied because they stopped giving their sister protection by walking to school with her, and they didn't do anything to fix it (as silly as it may sound). These characters could represent a time in the creator dudes life where he lived in Jonas' mind, but his situation was different (like the one I mentioned). Even if people are emotionally triggered by this, the empathy is good to have because it opens your mind to a bigger perspective of life and helps you understand everything a bit more. It's not an illusion, it's a fearful realization of facts, how lucky you are, and the issues some people struggle through and few never escape. Bringing awareness to the topic is good and should encourage others to be mindful, so it should be taken seriously. Everyone does have inner demons, but most people have been happy for so long that they never hear them, while others are the opposite. While not everyone is depressed, sure, everyone is susceptible to bad vibes. The game shows a depressed person's Point of View of themselves and how intense it can get. Besides, with how detailed every bad thing in Jonas' head are with how they speak and how many there are, how could you be sure that the creator has been through similar problems? But hey, that's just a comment! A GAME COMMENT! Thanks for reading! (My essay skills are on point XD) No hard feelings though.
@UT! Sans You make a good point, but you misunderstand mine. These things happen to everyone, without exeption, EVERYONE. What I mean by social illusion is the fact that almost everyone believes that in some way they have suffered a tragity worse than anyone else has, and decide to feel alone, hoping someone will notice because they want attention but are too lazy to go out and work for it. The "had things in his head", are what he wants people to think he sees on a regular basis because then people will be kind and have pity for him. Again, the social illusion part is that he actually has it better than a fuckton of people, but decides that his family member dying, or most likely getting bullyed, like you said, is somehow tragic enough that he should act depressed or insane, even though people who have suffered actual mental traumas are and have been getting on fine. What I'm trying to say is that I don't give a fuck for people that cry "oh, woe is me, I'm a person who has food, a house, a family, people who care about me, but my boyfriend/girlfriend just broke up with me so you should go o it of your way to shower me with love and attention" instead of getting over it and helping people that have had ACTUAL MENTAL TRAUMA! But that's just me man, believe what you want or whatever let's you sleep easy at night.
Easy to shut out the bad. Becomes your whole life, so being exposed to the good again is shocking and catches you from the other side while your defenses are occupied elsewhere. Not sure if this makes any sense at all to you
@@Darth-_-Maul it’s okay to not be able to cry. Find other ways to let out your emotions. (Ways that don’t harm you physically) maybe draw, sing, or write stuff down! Find your own ways to express your emotions
When I was growing up, my dad was an alcoholic. My mom didn’t like that and fought with him on many occasions. It ended up in a divorce. I loved my dad a bit more than my mom, so I was crushed when I had to stay with her. My dad ended up sending a letter one day that he was joining the Navy. When he came back from the Kittyhawk, my mom ended up getting back together with him. After they made up, he quit drinking and we were a happy family afterwards
Hey there, to all the people down in the comments that are feeling down after watching this; You're all so strong, and brave. And I know sometimes you want to give up, and it's just too much. You don't wanna try, who would even care if you did try, right? Everything feels like a chore, or everything is so scary, or nothing is going how it should or how you want it to. But that's okay. It's okay that you feel like that. It's terrible that you feel that way, but please remember that it's okay to be depressed, or anxious, or have voices in your head or whatever you're dealing with. They don't mean you're broken, or there's something wrong with you. Don't hate yourself for it, don't shun yourself for it. It's who you are at the time being, and that's okay. Because you're going to get better, with each step you force yourself to take towards the light. You can't control it, but you can help yourself get better. You can't control how hard it hits you, when, or where, but you can control how you handle it, and what you do to help yourself. There are people out there that are so proud seeing how well you're doing, whether they're strangers, friends, or family. You've got people behind you and supporting you, and although you may not see it, there are. I know these aren't beautiful words of wisdom like Marks, but I want everyone to remember that things will get better if you want them to, you will reach the light at the end of the tunnel. And when you do, you'll feel the wind gently brushing against you, the sun warming your skin, and you'll find yourself smiling, like you mean it each day. There are people out there to support you; Friends, family, hell, I'm here too if you'd like. There are wonderful people in Marks community that are there for you too, you just have to find them. So keep strong, keep pushing yourself, strive to get better, and you'll be okay.
Look, uh... it's a SLIGHTLY homicidal attitude when you're encouraging an already delicate comments section to suicidal thinking... not saying that's where you're going, but maybe just pick your words a bit more carefully...
"You Need to Forgive Yourself." ...It took 16 years, but I did. I was a kid. There wasn't anything I could have done to stop him from drinking himself to death. You're an idiot, Dad. I still love you, and I'm still pissed at you, but I'm doing better now. I'm not going to make the same mistakes you did.
It's true. When you can see yourself and know that, physically there is nothing wrong and demand improvement and progress of yourself. But mentally find yourself a Hindenburg, burning helium and molten, tangled framework tumbling from the heavens. It is a twisted, poisonous dichotomy and hard to fix.
wrong actually. sadness and negative emotions have a physical effect on the body. Dying of heartbreak is a real thing. (commonly in older couples, 1 will die then the 2nd person will sometimes die of heartbreak shortly after if they can't handle it)
This game has a very powerful message, and one that I really needed to hear right now. Something that really struck me though was when the 16 thoughts were surrounding Jonas, they were simply explaining themselves, or pleaded Jonas to help them, yet The Mirror said that they hated him. *This was The Mirror's lie.* But you could only figure it out after you confront each thought and try to understand what it's telling you.
@@jadetheslime3140 it's when you hyper-vigilant when you feel like you are not in control in times of stress. and also when you are self-conscious and irritable.
this is so heartbreaking my mom walked in and asked my why i was crying so much i set the video back to the beginning and let it play for her to watch i came back in, she was crying too.
I cried as soon as i got the message. Thank you for making this video Mark. I really am thankful for finding your channel a couple of years ago. You have help so many people and you still continue to do so.. without even realising it sometimes. Its why we love you. You are an amazing person. You never fail to put a smile on my face, even in my darkest and lonliest time, and for that ... I thank you. I love you Markimoo! We all do, the entire, lovely community!
How is this man so good at voice acting...? Damn. Even if he did...use the same voice probably 3 times or more?...He voiced them pretty damn well. Am I speaking english? Probably not. XD Alright, bye. (Seriously,Mark is AMAZING at voicing characters)
mark, I found your channel in the hospital after a suicide attempt a year and a half ago... you have helped me through more recent tough times, and your channel, along with a couple others, have kept me from attempting suicide again... thank you mark... without you I may not have made it this far in life... and may still be attempting to kill myself...
+Sound_of_silence That's not very helpful... Also, I'm thankful you didn't die! Life is beautiful and it would be a shame to take your own away from you!
We are marks community and we are here to help anyone who needs it. None the less expert help is always needed with some cases but we will support everyone.
+Sesalpino Pinosesal oh, I almost did. But then I didn't. I'm not sure why. No one helped me, I was the only one there for myself. And I'm the only one here now. But I did it. I lived.
Mr. Mark, I have overcome years of self harm and severe depression. I have attempted to commit suicide with intention and hope for something better. Thank you for treating this game seriously. Thank you for reading the characters with personality. Thank you for voicing the message with care. This was beautiful. The creators deserve full praise, but the messenger (you) carried it with respect. I can't wait until you make me laugh again, Mark. But for the moment, thank you for making me think.
Honestly, this game is so inspiring. It's saying that you can forgive youself, you can work through your pain, your inner demons, and your problems. I'm so glad Mark played this. Thank you 🙏
I've come back to this video almost every year, it's one of my favorites. I can't help but feel sadness and happiness going through the video, I don't even care how many times I've watched this, it doesn't get old.
Guys - pretty big news today, Keep in Mind has been remastered and will be coming to Steam and mobile on March 8th! All publisher profits will be donated to the charity Child's Play!
Holy shit, I remember this feeling all too well. In the past six years, I've endured two highly abusive relationships, which left me with several heavy burdens to bear afterward. It was harder with the second relationship, because he was the love of my life. My soulmate. And don't say he wasn't my soulmate if he was abusive. You don't know how deeply connected I was to him. Maybe it wasn't genuine on his side, but for me it was the realest thing I've ever felt. And the day I finally left him something in me died and ceased to exist. The three years following were the longest years of my life. I had lost him, myself, and all hope. And like I said, there were certain burdens I had to bear as a result, burdens that I will not mention here. He destroyed me. He ruined me. I had become an empty shell of a person. I went numb inside. And with all of the depression and PTSD, I was going to kill myself and wound up in the psych ward. It didn't help. I still wanted to die. I learned to reject therapy because as far as I was concerned, it did more harm than good. I was beyond help. I went through five different therapists in one year without an inch of progress. I was stuck. Lost. Broken. I grieved over my former self. I was angry at the world and bitter. I began wishing horrible things on people I used to love dearly. Healing didn't seem possible. I was too far gone. Then one day, my life suddenly began to turn around. In the course of 12 months, I obtained a steady source of income, health insurance, bought my very own car, and then lastly signed for my own house! For the first time in a long time I felt happy again. I was moving forward with my life. And I found the past traumas I endured fading into the distance. I was starting to forget. I didn't feel hurt anymore. I felt strong. The memory of those two relationships no longer controlled my mind. I was free. And I felt alive. Moral of the story, as cliched as it sounds, things CAN get better. They really really can. I've been at rock bottom, I know what it's like. It doesn't all turn around overnight, it takes a lot of time sometimes to overcome your past. But no matter how impossible it appears, you never know what the future holds. I had as much doubt as you do. I did not believe in anything. But it's when you least expect it that you will find your life starting to transform. I'm not going to tell you to never lose hope because that's not always how it works. I understand it's not always that simple. Holding on when you don't see anything to hold onto is incredibly difficult. But I can tell you from personal experience that this pain will not last forever. If you don't believe me right now that's okay. I just wanted to plant that seed in your brain so that when the time is right, it will start to bloom, and you'll be on your way to living a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.
Dear Mark, i didnt know which video to put this on but i decided to do the most recent cause i really wanted you to see this. When the nights are darker than ever before and sadness is in the air, nothing can fix it better than a smile! you are the smile that fills our hearts! you give us the gift of laughter and happiness. This is a poem for you Mark. You never know when life gets you down. So much sorrow, In it you could drown! A light is always there. A savior from above, With him, help and care. Number of supporters, he doesnt seem to need. A smile, Yes a smile, Is all he needs. Day afyer day, he is never late! Less and less people seem to hate. Just one more, That more is me, To add allong to the people who see. I love you Mark. We all do! 💖
Yeah, maybe it is...It is what it leads to in the end...For Death himself to laugh at you for coming to him for that excuse. I've seen it too many times and had lost to much for those reasons.
“Tomorrow we’ll run faster, throw our arms out further, and one fine morning- So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past”
Dear Mark, my name is Chris and I just watched this video for the first time, I've been watching your videos for along time now and I wanted to say thank you for making this video. Recently I've been struggling with my own insecurities and they have effected my relationships with family, friends and most importantly my girlfriend. I love her with all my heart and know that my own personal demons have been holding me down and bringing her down too. This video among others have helped me realize what I've done which aloud me to reflect on my life and choices that I've made. I don't expect a response back, I know your very busy, I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have helped me with your funny videos and scary let's plays over the years, they always have made me smile. Though I don't know you personally, I still like to consider you as a good friend, someone who always has great advise, someone who genuinely cares about others. Thank you, Chris
jdgfshjdsf No you need to..This guy has obviously gone through too much and frankly, I feel bad for him and you should to.I'm not saying to not speak at all in the comment section, I'm saying that you need to at least feel a little sympathy at times.If you have nothing nice to say ,don't say it at all.People with pain doesn't need to feel even more pain.Thank you and have a blessed day
chris I have to agree... my own mother has been struggling for two years and I feel like I should have done more to help. she has diverticulosis and had three emergency surgeries that didnt really help, and now we are moving to a new home, with my grandfather. we don't know anyone there but watching marks, jacks, and Felix's videos have really gotten me out of my head for a while, so shout-out to them, because they have really helped me through all this. also shutout to danisnotonfire and amazingphil. they are my true idols... also keep watch for my new channel coming out some time called #lifeoftc and another called tcgaming and keep in mind they haven't been made yet so when they come out please subscribe.... please also subscribe to my two best friends, Barbara does stuff, and the orange pancake. thanks, from Tyler
depression is never something set in stone. it changes its own rules constantly, and varies from person to person. I might have the same exact type of depression for the same exact reason as you do and your depression could be vastly different than my own. that is why its so hard to pinpoint, so hard to accurately describe, the only thing in that is common about it in everyone who suffers from it is that it hurts
ALSO SOCIAL ANXIETY that’s what I got from this... and much more... I gotta discover the rest of my inner demons, accept them, then KILL THEM MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH .... lol
This video hit me harder than some of his other videos, I started watching Mark's video's back in April after I had just gotten out of the hospital, and it really helped me to watch his videos when I felt sad or alone. Watching his videos is one of the things that has kept me from feeling so alone all the time, and kept me from wanting to hurt anymore, so Mark if you do read this, Thank you so much for what you do, it helps so much.
I'm glad you found him. I wish he could know us all individually and know our stories and how we found him. I found Mark when I was in the hospital after a suicide attempt. I haven't been the same since the incident, but I wouldn't have found him if it wasn't for it. I'm right up there with you; I bet you feel the same way when I say that I kinda wish he knew all of us, and had the time to sit and talk with us. It's hard knowing that will never happen, but we had these videos to keep us happy. Jesus, I'm rambling... I'm so sorry😂
Its alright, and I know how you feel, my one wish if I ever get to go to a convention and he's there is just to say thank you, and probably break down crying.
My mom didn't sign the permission slip for me to go on the feels trip... but seriously, this sends a great message. I used to have a mindset like this when thought it was my fault that my baby sister died of a brain tumor, and it almost drove me to suicide, but now that I'm over my depression, I feel a lot better. Honestly, Mark's videos helped me through, the way he always sends positive messages and how hes always in a good mood no matter what the situation. I thonk I speak for everyone when I say, Thanks again Mark, and keep doin what you do.
I can relate to those kind of thoughts. I am almost crying. This is relatable on many levels that it makes me feel some hope. Thank you Mark for playing this game. I have found some hope.
I didn't almost cry, I did. I've been struggling a lot and most of the things this game touched was things I'm struggling with. The art work was beautiful, and I'm just glad he played this or i'd have never of seen this.
I... Ended up crying I'm okay though, I just cried because how relatable it can get at one point it gives a lot of pressure, you know, that moment when you feel your throat warm and with pressure while you feel like crying It gives pressure because the game was talking of something I actually feel inside, it was like reading half of my mind, it was like if it was a therapist trying to help me and tell what's wrong with me... Since I saw the end of this game I have felt like every time I f-ck up something I yell at my own reflection in the mirror and say: 'You are not me, you are just someone who came here to give despair and sadness only to break me up! *I don't wanna be you.*' The only way to stop that 'someone' is changing everything bad with me and try being better.
Me: *watching Mark's update on YTs problem* Also me: *sees this in recommendations and immediately clicks it.* "well then...apparently it's from 2016????"
UA-cam is a complete problem. infected by bigots of political interest, and not the good ones. i mean appeasing dictatorships by censoring those who talk back at what's going. evil only grows when good people do nothing.
this video inspired me to try and be a better person. treat myself like I'm human. I'm generally rude and obnoxious... strange and sarcastic... but I want that to change. I want to be better. I want to be the best I can be.. even if the best isn't that great. thank you so much for making this video. I really do appreciate it.
Damn.. Mark said a good message in the end.. The game itself said a very good message.. and I know a lot of people can relate to that.., so.. keep up.. don't let your head down and don't let your thoughts destroy you. ;) Have a nice day.
I have horrible insomnia, very very very bad paranoia, such bad anxiety to the point where I can barely talk to my mom, and trichotillomania. Trichotillomania is a disease where you pull out your hair and you can't control it, this affects the way I look, which I don't really care about but it gives me worse anxiety.
I got a mood on all those but the trichotillomania. For me it's that thing, the dysphagia or whatever it is where you nibble your fingers constantly to the point of bleeding
dannie Have you watched the video? No it’s not. These are all symptoms commonly experienced during grief. Suffering symptoms from mental illnesses =/= suffering these mental illnesses. This man was careless and let his child brother die and is suffering extremely because of it, and tried to escape this pain thanks to alcohol. The whole game is a trip towards his own mind where he acknowledges his feelings and accepts what happened, and want to try and changing for his future and his wife. It’s got nothing to do with mental illnesses...
Wow. This video is touching. The comment section is flooding. So to help you all to smile/laugh... "WHAT IS LOVE. BABY DON'T HURT ME. DON'T HURT. NO MOAR." ...This is more cringy than it is funny. Hope you at least smile though!
This comment is irrelevant because this video was put up ten or nine months ago but I've watched this two separate times already, and this will be my third time because the voices you give the characters are literally pleasing my soul and I love it.
Yeah..... but there is also a reason why he is obsessed with Batman, since Batman doesnt seem to bend... Its a simbolic way of saying that yeah, if you keep your guard down then one bad day can do you in, but that is not an ultimate truth, you can rise above that one day and stand tall... It sounds obviouse I guess, but it still worth remembering.
this game is like me and my social anxiety, tearing myself apart with my own mind. being my own enemy and hating my own guts. feeling too reclused from the world as all my friends and family slip away from me because I'm too fucked up to do anything, to solve any of my own problems. wishing the world would end just so I didnt have to deal with it. being worthless and suffering quietly.. not asking for help, but not doing anything about it either.. just rotting.
Me too, but one day we will try again to remake those connections, remake the bonds we once had, but like everything it will take time, and we don't always have enough
I love the message this gives. We need to face our thoughts especially the dark and scary ones. And, if we can, treat those voices with kindness. After all, they are only there to try to help us even if they don't do it well. One of the biggest breakthroughs I've had in overcoming my trauma is talking to those voices like I would a small child who is just scared and confused. I listen to what they have to say and I comfort them and reassure them that everything will be alright instead of trying to push them away.
5 years... 5 years this video has stuck in my head, I loved it then, I still love it now. Sadly it has gotten more reliable these past few years even before covid, and I'm taking the path to make things right, like he said, I'll show them the light once more. Thank you mark for everything you have done.
For those of you who take this to heart; It gets better. For 15 years, more accurately from elementary school to the end of high school, my father had been a raging alcoholic. When I was young, I remember small fights between my parents. Now, my mom stays silent and just shuts all emotions out to deal with it. There are times when he drinks once a week, to twice a day. Thanks to it, my confidence as a child was shot. I didn't have the guts to do things I wanted to do, like invite friends over or pursue small goals like joining a sports team. Growing up knowing that there's a life of disappointment ahead is no way to live. It felt like he was the anchor that was holding my family and myself down. No matter how many times you fight, cry, or take your anger out, it never ever changes. I had to endure that type of pain for what seems like all my life. You start to make excuses on why you're starting to lose interest. Grades drop, friends become distant, even old hobbies die out. (Part 1)
I guess parents think it's a phase. In reality, it's the only way you know how to cope. Times get tougher as all the nonsense goes on, you tell a school counselor about it. Pretty soon DYPHIS (Social Services) gets called, and once a month a random stranger comes to your home to talk to you. Your parents are angered by the monthly intrusions and even your mom doesn't take your side on the matter, but what choice did you have? You were 12, he drove you home from school drunk nearly every day. DYPHIS decides to send him to AA meetings 3 times a week, but he finds a shortcut. He goes Tuesday sober, but goes drunk on Wednesday and Thursday. He "graduates" and after 4 years of monthly home intrusions, they decide to close the case because you are now 18, and no longer a minor. Basically, what happens happens, because you are now old enough for nobody to care about. Not a kid anymore, not their problem. (Part 2)
Time goes on, though slowly. Things degrade and worsen faster than you can handle. You think about suicide. You're so numb that you can actually hold the knife in your hand, mad at not only your dad, but life for dealing you such a shitty hand. You want to end it all, but there's something stopping you. There's something that stops you from ending it all. You meet a girl. She's cute, funny, thoughtful and she knows what's going on. She could start out as a friend, but over time that friendship becomes more, and you slowly fall in love. She gives you a reason to live. She gives you a reason to put up with all the crazy bullshit that goes on at home. Deep down you hate being here still, you hate having to still put up with your dad. He takes his anger out on you one night, throwing you through a glass screen door, storms off leaving you on the ground with glass shards in your back and in a world of pain. Two hours go by before you move. In that time, you think about your life (Part 3)
You wake up in the ER, when you find out your mother found you out on the porch with two hours unaccounted for, you just want to go to sleep and never wake up. Your dad shows up, and doesn't even recall the event. He thinks you tripped. You're always "clumsy" when he drinks. You're "accident prone" but you know the truth. You know nobody will believe you, so you go on living the worst life in the world. Your half brother is a drug addict, your father is an alcoholic, so you know the difference between right and wrong. One night, your dad throws a bottle at you, but instead of taking your anger out some self-spiteful way, you ask your mom to stay the night at your girlfriends. When you arrive and see her, you can't help but to want to break down and sob for hours. She knows something's wrong and just hugs you. This is when you feel less numb than ever before. Not only is this girl here for you, she cares about you more than you'll ever know. (Part 4)
While you're sleeping, she checks up on you. You sleep on your stomach, the only way you can fall asleep without hurting your back. She lays her hand on you, and you wake up almost screaming from the pain. She asks you to raise your shirt and you refuse, but resistance is pointless. You show her your back. 16 scars, each one still raw from having glass removed from it. You can't help but to cry, as she looks at your back in horror. She is furious about the way he treats you, but there's nothing you can do. You barely pass freshman, sophomore, and junior year in high school. She is only two years older than you, so junior and senior year are lonely without her there. You have friends, each as messed up as you are. You envy the kid who never met his father. You wonder how your life would be if your dad just wasn't there. As your life goes on, you're conflicted about many things, but one thing is for certain; You love the girl who's by your side. (Part 5)
You can't imaging life without her. No matter how bad things get, she's still there. Why? Why would she put up with all of the drama and horror you endure? You're strong, but you're not so sure she is. Somehow, you're lucky enough to find that one thing that not many people find. You've found the one person you can be yourself around. You've found that reason to be strong for not only yourself, but for her too. No matter what happens, you'll always have her and cherish her. You make the best of everything you have, even though you don't have much. It makes your day to make her smile. She distracts you from your dad, in a way she takes the pain away. Out of nowhere, you realize you're alive. You're doing what you never thought you'd do, you made it past all the doubt and pain of growing up with someone who always puts you down, abuses you, and makes you feel worthless. (Part 6)
Yeah! To quote one of my favorite movie directors, Don bluth: "If you don't show the darkness, you'll never appreciate the light that comes after." That's why most of his films, despite how dark they can be, have a happy ending!
That's so weird. Just watching this I was like "i'm gonna watch the OFF playthrough again, but I have no idea why.." and it seems others got the vibes too

That last guy he met before going through the doors, I like him.
you should
I think he represents Jonas's poce for himself, but he looks grotesque in appearance becuase of how Jonas felt like he wasn't worth anything so in time he saw himself as a monster.
Me too. He seems... Forgiving..
That guy is Hope.
instead of being frightened or hateful, he instead told the truth and remained calm. he's a good guy.
That ending monologue of the last "demon" had a lot of really armor-piercing questions and statements, but the moment Mark voiced out the words "You need to forgive yourself," I could physically feel my chest lighten, breathing freely as if it was restricted before (and maybe it was). I don't know if I will ever stop absolutely loathing myself but this game truly gave me a new perspective on how to deal with it. Man, it's been over 30 minutes since I finished the video but my chest still feels as warm as it did since listening to the ending parts of this game. This is absolutely beautiful.
Hello, I was just curious to know how do you feel now since you wrote this message
That's incredible, I hope you still feel good
haha, I felt the opposite way because I know I'll never be able to forgive myself...
This video has made me realise I need to forgive myself too for things that have happened. I’m just not ready to do that yet.
@@Glaycier do it when you're ready, just try not to wait too long
I think I figured out the demon who won’t speak. That is the demon of isolation/silence and/or loneliness.
“Every time you remained silent. Every time you refused someone’s help. It’s killing you [Jonas]. Open up. Trust someone. ...Please.”
At least, that’s my theory.
Thao Hussey oh look it's me haha please end my life

I'm paranoia! And you're watching Markiplier。
p.s. I would be resignation because literally, my name is a shortened version that is lazy Alice. I gave up on so many things that I like to mask it as being lazy.
*I am a deflating balloon of ✨ anger ✨*
Why is this funny?
So, if anyone's not getting it, this gentleman Jonas, when he was a child, was left by his mother to look after his little brother. He left the room the little brother was in for a brief moment, the kid climbed onto something and fell off, more than likely cracked his head wide open, and died. The mother must have committed suicide later on, and Jonas feels like everything bad that happened was his fault, and wouldn't let himself lead a happy life, drowning his emotions in alcohol and porn and sabotaging his marriage. This went on until the events of this game. It's like a dark, awful version of inside out.
Or a "bad end" route for Inside Out where Riley continued down the path of depression instead of coming out of it at the last minute.
Elizabeth Lingurar 200th like!
you know they way they are it reminds me of this saying
"In times of darkness your Demons are the ones who comfort you"
They get worse everyday no matter what
New favorite quote.

Yeah, you can't drown your demons because they know how to swim... might as well succumb to it than contradict it.

Quitting doesn't end the pain; it just passes it on to the people who love you the most.
Emily Anderson he's a popular motivational speaker that said the exact same words you just wrote. lol.
It's hard to believe that the one person in the entire world we are the cruelest to exists within us, and we don't realize it until we begin to collapse. I love this game so much because it personifies our subconscious self and gives us a new perspective on our own emotional onslaught.
Thank you for playing this, Mark.

Everything is a first world problem according to some people
There are no words that can do justice to how much of that I relate to.
This game summed up in a vine:
"Just remember: No one can hate you more than you already hate yourself."
Very accurate to life. No one could ever hate you, judge you, criticize you, or doubt you more than yourself.
You are your own worst enemy.

YEAH!!! Your voice acting is amazing!
Seriously Mark, that was really awesome voice acting!
totally agree such a great voice
This game is disturbing and beautiful. It also is realistic in a way. It shows us the emotions of grief and not everyone goes through all of these. It's disturbing because almost all demons have something disgusting about them or say something horrifying. This game is realistic because people have a emotional struggle during grief and they suffer many negative emotions, but we can at least have hope and try at the last stage of grief. You guys may think something else, but this is what I think of the game
Katty JR. I agree
smoothie fluffs Thanks. Glad to know someone out there agrees with me
thats just to show that demons are us humans not mythical creatures
im maybe late but....i dont know why i think cry of fear can relate to this game too..
No i think its about drinking and the consequences

I burst into tears.

I haven’t felt this lightened feeling in my chest in almost 5 years... I haven’t felt emotions. I’m a bit late to the party, but that ending left me thinking,”I need to take care of my thoughts- they love me, but they haven’t seen the light for a while.” I would write something more emotional, but it’s late and I need to take care of myself.
Go take care of yourself, it's alright ❤
Everyone is saying they’re feeling lightened, and here I am feel sadder than I was before watching the video.
I too have some thoughts that disturb me, but most of the time I often give in to the thoughts...might explain why I’m super pessimistic and hide out in my room.
It’s been over a year since you commented this, but I hope that your have taken care of yourself! Even if you relapse in certain things, I hope that you are kinder to yourself ❤️❤️❤️
The message of this game is so important, and the way it's handled here is magnificent. This is one of my favorite games/experience.
And also, on a sidenote, damn Mark!! Your voices are on-point!! It just added to this :D
ETPS I do like this game, it’s how I feel rn, like a failure, I would have given up years ago, unless I finally leted out my deepest interest and found a place where I belong.
It's just a game within the horror genre, don't think too much into it. The creator just wanted to creep you out by touching on a social illusion that everyone thinks they are depressed and have 'inner demons '. When society as we know it is made up of spoiled pompous emo kids, but I get your point, your just thinking to much into it. The dude/dude et that wrote this game has not experienced the actual subject, therefor don't take it to seriously.
@@bladuilolarius524 to call this a social illusion is incorrect in my eyes. Although it may not be based off a true story, true characters, or everything about grief, the dude may have rewrote the events to match how his own life feels. Sure, the dude may have not come in contact with a cult or lost his brother (if he even has one), but the cult can represent THOSE MINORITY OF PEOPLE and Jonas' brother could represent something or someone else he cared for. Perhaps the Cult killing his brother in front of him with him doing nothing about it could portray something around Someone's little cousin getting bullied because they stopped giving their sister protection by walking to school with her, and they didn't do anything to fix it (as silly as it may sound).
These characters could represent a time in the creator dudes life where he lived in Jonas' mind, but his situation was different (like the one I mentioned). Even if people are emotionally triggered by this, the empathy is good to have because it opens your mind to a bigger perspective of life and helps you understand everything a bit more. It's not an illusion, it's a fearful realization of facts, how lucky you are, and the issues some people struggle through and few never escape. Bringing awareness to the topic is good and should encourage others to be mindful, so it should be taken seriously. Everyone does have inner demons, but most people have been happy for so long that they never hear them, while others are the opposite. While not everyone is depressed, sure, everyone is susceptible to bad vibes. The game shows a depressed person's Point of View of themselves and how intense it can get.
Besides, with how detailed every bad thing in Jonas' head are with how they speak and how many there are, how could you be sure that the creator has been through similar problems? But hey, that's just a comment! A GAME COMMENT! Thanks for reading! (My essay skills are on point XD) No hard feelings though.
@UT! Sans You make a good point, but you misunderstand mine. These things happen to everyone, without exeption, EVERYONE. What I mean by social illusion is the fact that almost everyone believes that in some way they have suffered a tragity worse than anyone else has, and decide to feel alone, hoping someone will notice because they want attention but are too lazy to go out and work for it. The "had things in his head", are what he wants people to think he sees on a regular basis because then people will be kind and have pity for him. Again, the social illusion part is that he actually has it better than a fuckton of people, but decides that his family member dying, or most likely getting bullyed, like you said, is somehow tragic enough that he should act depressed or insane, even though people who have suffered actual mental traumas are and have been getting on fine. What I'm trying to say is that I don't give a fuck for people that cry "oh, woe is me, I'm a person who has food, a house, a family, people who care about me, but my boyfriend/girlfriend just broke up with me so you should go o it of your way to shower me with love and attention" instead of getting over it and helping people that have had ACTUAL MENTAL TRAUMA! But that's just me man, believe what you want or whatever let's you sleep easy at night.

When he came back from the Kittyhawk, my mom ended up getting back together with him. After they made up, he quit drinking and we were a happy family afterwards
...And they all lived happily ever after THE END. (this is the first "comments section story" I've seen where there is a happy ending...)

Noodle Phase 2 cool
Hey there, to all the people down in the comments that are feeling down after watching this;
You're all so strong, and brave. And I know sometimes you want to give up, and it's just too much. You don't wanna try, who would even care if you did try, right? Everything feels like a chore, or everything is so scary, or nothing is going how it should or how you want it to. But that's okay. It's okay that you feel like that. It's terrible that you feel that way, but please remember that it's okay to be depressed, or anxious, or have voices in your head or whatever you're dealing with. They don't mean you're broken, or there's something wrong with you. Don't hate yourself for it, don't shun yourself for it. It's who you are at the time being, and that's okay. Because you're going to get better, with each step you force yourself to take towards the light. You can't control it, but you can help yourself get better. You can't control how hard it hits you, when, or where, but you can control how you handle it, and what you do to help yourself. There are people out there that are so proud seeing how well you're doing, whether they're strangers, friends, or family. You've got people behind you and supporting you, and although you may not see it, there are. I know these aren't beautiful words of wisdom like Marks, but I want everyone to remember that things will get better if you want them to, you will reach the light at the end of the tunnel. And when you do, you'll feel the wind gently brushing against you, the sun warming your skin, and you'll find yourself smiling, like you mean it each day. There are people out there to support you; Friends, family, hell, I'm here too if you'd like. There are wonderful people in Marks community that are there for you too, you just have to find them. So keep strong, keep pushing yourself, strive to get better, and you'll be okay.
Is it okay to lie just to make yourself feel better?
Look, uh... it's a SLIGHTLY homicidal attitude when you're encouraging an already delicate comments section to suicidal thinking... not saying that's where you're going, but maybe just pick your words a bit more carefully...
Cameron Jones I'm sorry, pardon? You literally couldn't be further off from where I was heading. Please explain?

"You Need to Forgive Yourself."
...It took 16 years, but I did. I was a kid. There wasn't anything I could have done to stop him from drinking himself to death. You're an idiot, Dad. I still love you, and I'm still pissed at you, but I'm doing better now. I'm not going to make the same mistakes you did.

“Grief can break you”
Mentally not physically, you break yourself
well, physically you can also break yourself out of grief.
@@lazice True, and not only that, but it can also break one's immune system despite a healthy lifestyle.
You have the body of stone, but a mind made of glass, so fragile... *But stil beautifull...*
It's true. When you can see yourself and know that, physically there is nothing wrong and demand improvement and progress of yourself. But mentally find yourself a Hindenburg, burning helium and molten, tangled framework tumbling from the heavens. It is a twisted, poisonous dichotomy and hard to fix.
wrong actually. sadness and negative emotions have a physical effect on the body. Dying of heartbreak is a real thing. (commonly in older couples, 1 will die then the 2nd person will sometimes die of heartbreak shortly after if they can't handle it)
As Someone who had every aspect of their life tainted by grief for 7 straight years, this game is as true as they come
Are you ok?
YoU beEn tHRougH nothing c0mPa[`ed to m3
damn this is a little too relevant for me.
This game has a very powerful message, and one that I really needed to hear right now. Something that really struck me though was when the 16 thoughts were surrounding Jonas, they were simply explaining themselves, or pleaded Jonas to help them, yet The Mirror said that they hated him. *This was The Mirror's lie.* But you could only figure it out after you confront each thought and try to understand what it's telling you.

Guys - pretty big news today, Keep in Mind has been remastered and will be coming to Steam and mobile on March 8th! All publisher profits will be donated to the charity Child's Play!
Holy shit, I remember this feeling all too well. In the past six years, I've endured two highly abusive relationships, which left me with several heavy burdens to bear afterward. It was harder with the second relationship, because he was the love of my life. My soulmate. And don't say he wasn't my soulmate if he was abusive. You don't know how deeply connected I was to him. Maybe it wasn't genuine on his side, but for me it was the realest thing I've ever felt. And the day I finally left him something in me died and ceased to exist. The three years following were the longest years of my life. I had lost him, myself, and all hope. And like I said, there were certain burdens I had to bear as a result, burdens that I will not mention here. He destroyed me. He ruined me. I had become an empty shell of a person. I went numb inside. And with all of the depression and PTSD, I was going to kill myself and wound up in the psych ward. It didn't help. I still wanted to die. I learned to reject therapy because as far as I was concerned, it did more harm than good. I was beyond help. I went through five different therapists in one year without an inch of progress. I was stuck. Lost. Broken. I grieved over my former self. I was angry at the world and bitter. I began wishing horrible things on people I used to love dearly. Healing didn't seem possible. I was too far gone.
Then one day, my life suddenly began to turn around. In the course of 12 months, I obtained a steady source of income, health insurance, bought my very own car, and then lastly signed for my own house! For the first time in a long time I felt happy again. I was moving forward with my life. And I found the past traumas I endured fading into the distance. I was starting to forget. I didn't feel hurt anymore. I felt strong. The memory of those two relationships no longer controlled my mind. I was free. And I felt alive. Moral of the story, as cliched as it sounds, things CAN get better. They really really can. I've been at rock bottom, I know what it's like. It doesn't all turn around overnight, it takes a lot of time sometimes to overcome your past. But no matter how impossible it appears, you never know what the future holds. I had as much doubt as you do. I did not believe in anything. But it's when you least expect it that you will find your life starting to transform. I'm not going to tell you to never lose hope because that's not always how it works. I understand it's not always that simple. Holding on when you don't see anything to hold onto is incredibly difficult. But I can tell you from personal experience that this pain will not last forever. If you don't believe me right now that's okay. I just wanted to plant that seed in your brain so that when the time is right, it will start to bloom, and you'll be on your way to living a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

Dear Mark,

When the nights are darker than ever before and sadness is in the air, nothing can fix it better than a smile! you are the smile that fills our hearts! you give us the gift of laughter and happiness. This is a poem for you Mark.
You never know when life gets you down.
So much sorrow,
In it you could drown!
A light is always there.
A savior from above,
With him, help and care.
Number of supporters, he doesnt seem to need.
A smile,
Yes a smile,
Is all he needs.
Day afyer day, he is never late!
Less and less people seem to hate.
Just one more,
That more is me,
To add allong to the people who see.
I love you Mark. We all do! 💖
Your a hero mark. you will always be a hero to me 😊

This kind of guilt, suffering. Is worse than death itself.
Yeah, maybe it is...It is what it leads to in the end...For Death himself to laugh at you for coming to him for that excuse. I've seen it too many times and had lost to much for those reasons.

It's true.
Mark's voice acting is perfect
I...have seen only 1 voice acting comment before this...
Surprisingly I've only seen 1 comment about Mark's voice acting by far
“Tomorrow we’ll run faster, throw our arms out further, and one fine morning-
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past”

All we can do is yearn for the green light
And wait and see if the light will lead to salvation...or a dead dream, I hope for those looking for the light find the first, not the second

You are going to be okay, stay strong, I know its tiring but keep going, you can do it.
Thank you
Thank you... You don't realize but I needed that..

Thank you I really needed that...
Thank you
Dear Mark, my name is Chris and I just watched this video for the first time, I've been watching your videos for along time now and I wanted to say thank you for making this video. Recently I've been struggling with my own insecurities and they have effected my relationships with family, friends and most importantly my girlfriend. I love her with all my heart and know that my own personal demons have been holding me down and bringing her down too. This video among others have helped me realize what I've done which aloud me to reflect on my life and choices that I've made. I don't expect a response back, I know your very busy, I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have helped me with your funny videos and scary let's plays over the years, they always have made me smile. Though I don't know you personally, I still like to consider you as a good friend, someone who always has great advise, someone who genuinely cares about others.
Thank you,
Chris
No one cares.. stfu
Chris Thorsen I hope you get better bro
jdgfshjdsf No you need to..This guy has obviously gone through too much and frankly, I feel bad for him and you should to.I'm not saying to not speak at all in the comment section, I'm saying that you need to at least feel a little sympathy at times.If you have nothing nice to say ,don't say it at all.People with pain doesn't need to feel even more pain.Thank you and have a blessed day
Chris Thorsen I hope you successfully get better
chris I have to agree... my own mother has been struggling for two years and I feel like I should have done more to help. she has diverticulosis and had three emergency surgeries that didnt really help, and now we are moving to a new home, with my grandfather. we don't know anyone there but watching marks, jacks, and Felix's videos have really gotten me out of my head for a while, so shout-out to them, because they have really helped me through all this. also shutout to danisnotonfire and amazingphil. they are my true idols... also keep watch for my new channel coming out some time called #lifeoftc and another called tcgaming and keep in mind they haven't been made yet so when they come out please subscribe.... please also subscribe to my two best friends, Barbara does stuff, and the orange pancake. thanks, from Tyler

When I read Mindscape I immediately thought about Gravity Falls. 😆😂
this. this is what grief is like, what depression is like. never before have I found a description as apt as this.
Thomas Walker no it is not.
depression is never something set in stone. it changes its own rules constantly, and varies from person to person. I might have the same exact type of depression for the same exact reason as you do and your depression could be vastly different than my own. that is why its so hard to pinpoint, so hard to accurately describe, the only thing in that is common about it in everyone who suffers from it is that it hurts
ALSO SOCIAL ANXIETY that’s what I got from this... and much more... I gotta discover the rest of my inner demons, accept them, then KILL THEM MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH .... lol
I love the different unique voices he does for all the creatures
Mark's unique voices for each character fit *perfectly* and he needs to become a voice actor
This video hit me harder than some of his other videos, I started watching Mark's video's back in April after I had just gotten out of the hospital, and it really helped me to watch his videos when I felt sad or alone. Watching his videos is one of the things that has kept me from feeling so alone all the time, and kept me from wanting to hurt anymore, so Mark if you do read this, Thank you so much for what you do, it helps so much.
I'm glad you found him. I wish he could know us all individually and know our stories and how we found him. I found Mark when I was in the hospital after a suicide attempt. I haven't been the same since the incident, but I wouldn't have found him if it wasn't for it. I'm right up there with you; I bet you feel the same way when I say that I kinda wish he knew all of us, and had the time to sit and talk with us. It's hard knowing that will never happen, but we had these videos to keep us happy. Jesus, I'm rambling... I'm so sorry😂
Its alright, and I know how you feel, my one wish if I ever get to go to a convention and he's there is just to say thank you, and probably break down crying.
I found Mark after endless panic attacks. I was looking on youtube for something to distract me and calm me down. We all truly have a story..
I hate how you just say you got out of the hospital to make us feel bad for you. Fuck off
That is not why I posted that at all, if you have a problem with it then you should have ignored the comment
My mom didn't sign the permission slip for me to go on the feels trip... but seriously, this sends a great message. I used to have a mindset like this when thought it was my fault that my baby sister died of a brain tumor, and it almost drove me to suicide, but now that I'm over my depression, I feel a lot better. Honestly, Mark's videos helped me through, the way he always sends positive messages and how hes always in a good mood no matter what the situation. I thonk I speak for everyone when I say, Thanks again Mark, and keep doin what you do.
😂 that's a good joke! And I'm very glad you have gotten over your depression and found the light :)
Oh I'm so sorry for your loss, and I'm glad you got over your depression. Your important, so keep moving forward! I believe in you!
😂 I haven't read the rest of your comment yet. I stopped at "feels train." I'll be using that one later
I glad that you're doing better ^.^ you sound like a great person and I agree with you 100%
Is that legit or just ur user name
Mark Should've been the voice actors
Yeah
"That phantom in the mirror, who calls himself you, has been keeping you from the truth with his vicious lies"
I can relate to those kind of thoughts. I am almost crying. This is relatable on many levels that it makes me feel some hope. Thank you Mark for playing this game. I have found some hope.
Same here. I felt really identified with it and I am thankful that he played it. I may have never heard of it hadn't he played it.
We're all in this together
I didn't almost cry, I did. I've been struggling a lot and most of the things this game touched was things I'm struggling with. The art work was beautiful, and I'm just glad he played this or i'd have never of seen this.
If I could still cry this almost did it. I've been depressed for years, I can't remember the last time I was motivated to live. This hit like a truck.
I...
Ended up crying
I'm okay though, I just cried because how relatable it can get at one point it gives a lot of pressure, you know, that moment when you feel your throat warm and with pressure while you feel like crying
It gives pressure because the game was talking of something I actually feel inside, it was like reading half of my mind, it was like if it was a therapist trying to help me and tell what's wrong with me...
Since I saw the end of this game I have felt like every time I f-ck up something I yell at my own reflection in the mirror and say: 'You are not me, you are just someone who came here to give despair and sadness only to break me up! *I don't wanna be you.*'
The only way to stop that 'someone' is changing everything bad with me and try being better.
I'M NOT CRYING MY EYES ARE JUST SWEATING
Same
I just have allergies!!!

I want to be the best I can be.. even if the best isn't that great. thank you so much for making this video. I really do appreciate it.
You've got this!
You can do it, man!
You can do it! :D

@@meredithmitchell8921 I thought they meant in-game?
Damn.. Mark said a good message in the end.. The game itself said a very good message.. and I know a lot of people can relate to that.., so.. keep up.. don't let your head down and don't let your thoughts destroy you. ;) Have a nice day.
true. you too
I'm crying more reading these comments than during the actual vid!
Right?! Beautiful and I needed that. ♡
in fact. dont let the darkness destroy your thougths. (at least thats wath happened in this game)
also, who was the last one? acceptance?
Thanks and I agree this video has changed me I'm not letting thoughts rule my life anymore
I keep thinking that it is the game talking but, then I realize it is mark and I'm like woah😱
Man, first time watching his video, I love him already and his narration, I love it!
Alice Kim did u sub?
Alice Kim hes the best.

Ok 👌
I feel like these are all mental illnesses: insomnia, paranoia, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, etc
dannie they kind of are
I have horrible insomnia, very very very bad paranoia, such bad anxiety to the point where I can barely talk to my mom, and trichotillomania. Trichotillomania is a disease where you pull out your hair and you can't control it, this affects the way I look, which I don't really care about but it gives me worse anxiety.
I got a mood on all those but the trichotillomania. For me it's that thing, the dysphagia or whatever it is where you nibble your fingers constantly to the point of bleeding
I have depression . I laugh it off so no one notices. On the internet i feel safe though
dannie Have you watched the video? No it’s not. These are all symptoms commonly experienced during grief. Suffering symptoms from mental illnesses =/= suffering these mental illnesses. This man was careless and let his child brother die and is suffering extremely because of it, and tried to escape this pain thanks to alcohol. The whole game is a trip towards his own mind where he acknowledges his feelings and accepts what happened, and want to try and changing for his future and his wife. It’s got nothing to do with mental illnesses...
“you need to forgive yourself”
me: hahahhahahaahhahaahhaha *incoherent sobbing*
I know that it's been a year, but this is a reminder. Forgive yourself. You deserve forgiveness.
Wow. This video is touching. The comment section is flooding. So to help you all to smile/laugh...
"WHAT IS LOVE. BABY DON'T HURT ME. DON'T HURT. NO MOAR."
...This is more cringy than it is funny. Hope you at least smile though!
All these emotional comments and I'm going "That demon looks like the true 'final boss' of OFF."
This comment is irrelevant because this video was put up ten or nine months ago but I've watched this two separate times already, and this will be my third time because the voices you give the characters are literally pleasing my soul and I love it.
in the words of the joker "It only takes one bad day".
*slow claps*
Yeah..... but there is also a reason why he is obsessed with Batman, since Batman doesnt seem to bend... Its a simbolic way of saying that yeah, if you keep your guard down then one bad day can do you in, but that is not an ultimate truth, you can rise above that one day and stand tall... It sounds obviouse I guess, but it still worth remembering.
Or... A bad time
Im sorry
+Frisk Dreemurr que MEGALOVANIA #sorrynotsorry
You are an amazing human being. XD
this game is like me and my social anxiety, tearing myself apart with my own mind. being my own enemy and hating my own guts. feeling too reclused from the world as all my friends and family slip away from me because I'm too fucked up to do anything, to solve any of my own problems. wishing the world would end just so I didnt have to deal with it. being worthless and suffering quietly.. not asking for help, but not doing anything about it either.. just rotting.
I feel you person. I know it's hard to deal with.
Me too, but one day we will try again to remake those connections, remake the bonds we once had, but like everything it will take time, and we don't always have enough
same. You are not the only one, so i am with you on that
I am with you, you are not alone.
same man, at the end of this game it kind of made me realize all of that and I kind of opened up to maybe trying a little harder with myself.
I love the message this gives. We need to face our thoughts especially the dark and scary ones. And, if we can, treat those voices with kindness. After all, they are only there to try to help us even if they don't do it well. One of the biggest breakthroughs I've had in overcoming my trauma is talking to those voices like I would a small child who is just scared and confused. I listen to what they have to say and I comfort them and reassure them that everything will be alright instead of trying to push them away.
this game really creeps me out & makes me feel guilt about some wrongs I've done
Or for what I /haven't/ done...
to damn true
"You know what you need to do.
You need to forgive yourself."

5 years... 5 years this video has stuck in my head, I loved it then, I still love it now. Sadly it has gotten more reliable these past few years even before covid, and I'm taking the path to make things right, like he said, I'll show them the light once more. Thank you mark for everything you have done.
this was actually touching at the end anyways, kind if sad, and actually relatable...
3:03 (all of monster thing dialogue)
mark please be a horror story narrator or something because that was perfect
correction.
all dialogue and not just referring to monster :p
For those of you who take this to heart; It gets better. For 15 years, more accurately from elementary school to the end of high school, my father had been a raging alcoholic. When I was young, I remember small fights between my parents. Now, my mom stays silent and just shuts all emotions out to deal with it. There are times when he drinks once a week, to twice a day. Thanks to it, my confidence as a child was shot. I didn't have the guts to do things I wanted to do, like invite friends over or pursue small goals like joining a sports team. Growing up knowing that there's a life of disappointment ahead is no way to live. It felt like he was the anchor that was holding my family and myself down. No matter how many times you fight, cry, or take your anger out, it never ever changes. I had to endure that type of pain for what seems like all my life. You start to make excuses on why you're starting to lose interest. Grades drop, friends become distant, even old hobbies die out. (Part 1)
I guess parents think it's a phase. In reality, it's the only way you know how to cope. Times get tougher as all the nonsense goes on, you tell a school counselor about it. Pretty soon DYPHIS (Social Services) gets called, and once a month a random stranger comes to your home to talk to you. Your parents are angered by the monthly intrusions and even your mom doesn't take your side on the matter, but what choice did you have? You were 12, he drove you home from school drunk nearly every day. DYPHIS decides to send him to AA meetings 3 times a week, but he finds a shortcut. He goes Tuesday sober, but goes drunk on Wednesday and Thursday. He "graduates" and after 4 years of monthly home intrusions, they decide to close the case because you are now 18, and no longer a minor. Basically, what happens happens, because you are now old enough for nobody to care about. Not a kid anymore, not their problem. (Part 2)
Time goes on, though slowly. Things degrade and worsen faster than you can handle. You think about suicide. You're so numb that you can actually hold the knife in your hand, mad at not only your dad, but life for dealing you such a shitty hand. You want to end it all, but there's something stopping you. There's something that stops you from ending it all. You meet a girl. She's cute, funny, thoughtful and she knows what's going on. She could start out as a friend, but over time that friendship becomes more, and you slowly fall in love. She gives you a reason to live. She gives you a reason to put up with all the crazy bullshit that goes on at home. Deep down you hate being here still, you hate having to still put up with your dad. He takes his anger out on you one night, throwing you through a glass screen door, storms off leaving you on the ground with glass shards in your back and in a world of pain. Two hours go by before you move. In that time, you think about your life (Part 3)
You wake up in the ER, when you find out your mother found you out on the porch with two hours unaccounted for, you just want to go to sleep and never wake up. Your dad shows up, and doesn't even recall the event. He thinks you tripped. You're always "clumsy" when he drinks. You're "accident prone" but you know the truth. You know nobody will believe you, so you go on living the worst life in the world. Your half brother is a drug addict, your father is an alcoholic, so you know the difference between right and wrong. One night, your dad throws a bottle at you, but instead of taking your anger out some self-spiteful way, you ask your mom to stay the night at your girlfriends. When you arrive and see her, you can't help but to want to break down and sob for hours. She knows something's wrong and just hugs you. This is when you feel less numb than ever before. Not only is this girl here for you, she cares about you more than you'll ever know. (Part 4)
While you're sleeping, she checks up on you. You sleep on your stomach, the only way you can fall asleep without hurting your back. She lays her hand on you, and you wake up almost screaming from the pain. She asks you to raise your shirt and you refuse, but resistance is pointless. You show her your back. 16 scars, each one still raw from having glass removed from it. You can't help but to cry, as she looks at your back in horror. She is furious about the way he treats you, but there's nothing you can do. You barely pass freshman, sophomore, and junior year in high school. She is only two years older than you, so junior and senior year are lonely without her there. You have friends, each as messed up as you are. You envy the kid who never met his father. You wonder how your life would be if your dad just wasn't there. As your life goes on, you're conflicted about many things, but one thing is for certain; You love the girl who's by your side. (Part 5)
You can't imaging life without her. No matter how bad things get, she's still there. Why? Why would she put up with all of the drama and horror you endure? You're strong, but you're not so sure she is. Somehow, you're lucky enough to find that one thing that not many people find. You've found the one person you can be yourself around. You've found that reason to be strong for not only yourself, but for her too. No matter what happens, you'll always have her and cherish her. You make the best of everything you have, even though you don't have much. It makes your day to make her smile. She distracts you from your dad, in a way she takes the pain away. Out of nowhere, you realize you're alive. You're doing what you never thought you'd do, you made it past all the doubt and pain of growing up with someone who always puts you down, abuses you, and makes you feel worthless. (Part 6)
When a story can end positive when it focuses mainly on the negative... that’s good writing.
Yeah! To quote one of my favorite movie directors, Don bluth:
"If you don't show the darkness, you'll never appreciate the light that comes after."
That's why most of his films, despite how dark they can be, have a happy ending!
legends are said that when you are early
no one will care at all.
I heard that one a long time ago from a kindly old witch in the Forests of Reaping
I agree with this comment more than anything I have read all month
hmmm... this looks like yume nikki
no
The legend is true
anybody else getting that "off" vibe?
I love that game.
definitely
That's so weird. Just watching this I was like "i'm gonna watch the OFF playthrough again, but I have no idea why.." and it seems others got the vibes too
It was totally the voices and graphics!
I was just thinking that! OFF is my favorite series from Mark and this just makes me remember it all
