Wow, amazing video. Your thoughts are both illuminating and easy to follow along, which is a very delicate balance to achieve. I'm truly surprised your content doesn't have more traction. I only found you because of the sparsity of axiom verge lore available, but luckily yours was just what I was searching for
I love this game because the design of it all makes you feel like you get it and then it throws you a curveball, but if you look back it was all foreshadowed from the start. When starting the game, I had a theory that the game takes place in somebody's imagination, thanks to the use of glitches and tv static as an aesthetic, the shape of the world resembling a brain, The "Axiom I" note, etc. Once you get near the end you realize what's really going on, but those details still linger over the game. Maybe it's an intentional red herring, maybe not.
Man, you are quick! I remember when you announced this idea in the Discord. It was not that long ago. I will definitely watch it sooner rather than later.
This was a lot more cohesive and coherent than anything I thought of at the time. Thanks for building this narrative for me. I think Axiom Verge 1 was one of those "interpretation sandbox" games, where the author deliberately didn't plan an ending/conclusion to the story. But that may have changed when the sequel came out. Either way, I appreciate the story you've pieced together!
Awesome video! I hope you have the time and willingness to make one for the Primordial code (and different languages) specifically. This is a blind spot of my knowledge and I really like languages invented for games.

Great video man! I do wish the Axiom games were more popular with more people talking about them. I find the lore wildly fascinating.

This was fantastic- Well thought out, put together, and narrated! Thank you for the fan content on a franchise that duely deserves it!
Thanks for the video! I eat this kind of story up and seeing it all laid out like this is quite juicy. Hopefully AV3 comes soon
Imagine if Damu is both a Patternmind and an Arm.
Thank you for this! These are some of my favorite games to come out in recent years. The graphics, music, gameplay, and story are just fantastic :-)
This is really well put together! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Someone else got into the game recently too?
Oh god, it's homestuck all over again!
Good stuff!!
