This is an "unreliable narrator" done extremely well in a game. I'm actually struggling to think of other good examples.
The Beginner’s Guide
Unreliable narrators directly show the viewer false information. This was just going off the viewer's assumptions but provided no false information, which I enjoyed. I don't really like true unreliable narrators.
one of my fav tropes that i rarely see in game format tbh
Little Misfortune
@@TheLuckyPotato wow amazing rec that game is amazing
Wow, we get to have so many different assumptions throughout this game.
"Sam's straight up just a crazy stalker"
"We're Sam being haunted by Brian"
"We're Brian being haunted by Sam"
"Sam started normal but broke from bullying and obsession"
"Brian is in on the bullying"
"Sam killed herself"
"Brian killed Sam and it's revenge haunting not stalker haunting"
"Crazy diary isn't Sam!"
"Someone else killed Sam but are we still Brian?"
"Crazy diary is Kyle!"
"We are also Kyle!"
"There is no ghost! Just drugs!"
"Brian and Sam were completely innocent in all this and now I just feel sad"
So many different ways we thought the story was going. This was brilliantly done.
I think I went through the 5 stages of grief every 20 minutes of this game 😭
bruh kinda overkill am i right?
Another Overkill fan? damn
Yeah this is exactly how it happened for me

It's been a while since a character made my blood boil the way Kyle does. He takes the ability to control his own fate for granted while systematically taking it away from Sam. She had her privacy invaded, her family history weaponized against her, and was tormented with false rumors she had no means to refute. Ultimately Kyle took not only her self-determination, but the chance to even experience the rest of her life at all, just for the sake of his own jealousy. Meanwhile, to the very end, he enjoyed the luxury of choosing if, when, and how his personal secrets were revealed. His own loneliness and fears are understandable, especially regarding his sexuality. However, nothing ever forced him to do what he did, and the fact that he had enough putrid shreds of a conscience to feel bad afterwards doesn't mean much to the girl he left broken and dying at the bottom of a cliff.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. Kyle is the kind of person that makes me want to break arms. He took his own problems and projected them outwards to the point of murder.
It’s true that he was an actual shit person and a murderer, but as someone who’s had hallucinations and delusions similar to what’s in the game (not related to a person, I’ve never been a stalker or even had a crush, as I am aromantic), these hallucinations and delusions stop you from doing almost anything, even leaving the house. Because of this, it’s not exactly a luxury to not reveal the secrets, more like being psychologically unable to. But again, I agree that he’s horrible. Manipulating Brian, killing and ruining Sam, and using and being neglectful if his relationship with Stacy.
It reminds me of the school shooting problem in America. Yes, it wouldn't be such a big problem if people's mental health and rights were looked after, if there were real justice in this country, but that doesn't refute the fact that those shooters are still horrible people. Bad people will always be bad, but you can prevent them from doing terrible things by treating them right.
@@nyxcat3621 I'm 90% sure that the hallucinations that take place in the game are due to Kyle's rampant drug addiction. I don't think he had hallucinations at the time of the murder
@@ISTHATAJOJOSREFERENCE I know, but I’m talking about how the commenter was saying it was his decision to keep the murder hidden when his drug induced hallucinations were the things keeping him from telling the truth
I love the fact that Kyle is basically a background character in Sam and Brian’s love story. Like not even the main villain in Sam’s diary entries, just Stacey’s lackey bf. Until he finally had enough.
i was on board with it being sam being the villain until some details weren't connecting and i thought 'wait... maybe stacy is the villain'. did not think of kyle up until the texts lmao
@@randompromises1038 Stacy is such a clever red herring
It's giving Heather vibes!!!
Is Kyle gay?
Love that one day the human race as a whole decided that the feeling of dread, danger, and fear is pretty rad and started making shit that induces those feelings on purpose, just for fun, like a bunch of psychopaths.
Ik right? I'll never get the appeal of horror games, I have no idea why you would WANT to be scared XD
🤔
I mean.. you're not wrong.
@@zavexcapricious2519 why are you here
@@zavexcapricious2519 fear creates adrenaline amongst other things which some people enjoy feeling
The fact Sam was still alive while Kyle was rummaging through her bag breaks my heart, she didn’t have to die and certainly not alone. Plus i can’t believe how absolutely terrified Brian must have been even though it wasnt Sam stalking him he was still getting calls in the middle of the night where someone was just listening to his voice.
While I haven’t had experiences like this game, it hit rly close to home with the rly powerful conveying of the whispering and having everyone’s eyes on her (Sam) when she was going through all this. Cause sometimes even nothing as drastic as what happened to her in this game happen to you it can still feel like everyone is judging you even when they probably aren’t
I love how Jack just looks at the camera and says with a tired voice, “don’t eat people’s hearts”
"Briaaan, that kills people!"

1:13 "I've never cared for keeping a diary. But now seems to be a good time to *start* keeping one."
6:45 "I haven't kept a diary since kindergarten, but this seems like a good time to *restart* ."
From the very beginning, it was hinted at us that the two entries were from two different people. I just love it when games put in these obvious but easily overlooked details to make us give out an "Ahhh" when we really think about it afterward.
holy shit, i love those subtle hints. thank you for pointing it out or else i wouldve missed it lmao
how did we all miss that i just feel dumb now
ooh and when kyle's diary states from the beginning that brian moved 3 years ago! i was so confused when we found out sam died at 17 after being "a transfer student in 11th grade" so she really couldn't have written anything three years after loll so good bc even with that i didnt know it was kyle!
It's also worth looking at the writing styles of the two diaries. Sam is a major bookworm and writes in full paragraphs. She doesn't use a lot of flowery language or dramatic declarations. She consistently fills the entire page each time she writes. Kyle is much more into poetry and his diary reflects that. Sentences are short and use a lot of dramatic symbolism (the meaning of smiles, Brian being a "closed, painted door," ect.). Kyle rarely fills a page with words, but is very expressive in his meaning with what he does say.
It can be seen very early on that these are two different voices speaking, even if the font they use is the same. I can easily see how we might miss it, however, if we aren't looking for that. This is especially true in places where poetry is considered to be a 'feminine' hobby, as the author's gender would be more likely assumed to be female.
i thought that was strange but i honestly was too enraptured wit the rest of the story to even actually pay attention to it
“The creepy stares from Kyle” set off all my alerts. Also that Kyle hides in the end by cowering in his closet was a sad and disheartening touch
Definitely started thinking Kyle was actually in love/obsessed with Sam..but the longer the game when on...oof.
i def got the vibes something was weird between kyle and brian sam even commented on their dynamic in one of her early diary entries and i was immediately like hmmmmmmmm 🤔
Yeah..i knew Kyle kinda sus at first, he's like yandere or "gay" yandere to be specific lol

Seriously inspirational
Loving the symbolism of hiding in the closet when told to hide
I don’t really get that part. From reviewing the other comments, I believe it has something to do with coming out? Could you help me understand better?
@@evangelinerohman8229 okay, so basically him hiding in the closet was symbolism for how he wasn’t out that he was gay. It’s a common thing to say about gay people who aren’t out yet, that they’re ’in the closet’.
So the game was showing him hiding in the closet and not wanting to express who he was if that makes sense! :D
1:24:45 really cemented who we were playing as for me, because being told to “hide, coward” and then having the only option be the closet is just.. damn. Like I know closets are a pretty common hiding spot in games but.. *man*
THE FACT I PUT THIS TOGETHER AS I WAS READING THIS COMMENT- gosh this game is incredibly clever.
Also after he literally comes out of the closet.
Damn, I didn't even realize...
Ok, i feel a bit dumb but i still haven't figured it out yet, how does that imply who we were playing as??
@@assalgh560 its about gay person, and “closet” is like about coming out.
I was about to ask why Sam didn't call him B in her other diary. Jesus christ this game is heartbreaking, but it's excellently made. Genuinely incredible.

@@fireking0531 guess they got reported before I got here.
Now I'm gonna have to watch the entire 2 hour video to fully understand everything that was happening. 36:56 Like this part seriously changes with context.
@@aguyontheinternet8436 Speed run it and play it at double speed. lol
I love how every single element in the game had a larger purpose to the story. From not having a reflection, to the randomly empty closet, hell even a branch - a fucking _branch._
It just goes to show how much effort and thought the dev put into it, as well as how much he values our time as players. Truly brilliant.
Ya. It honestly made me...pity Kyle. I don't think he's...evil per say. Hes not good by ANY means he's diabolical and cruel yes but not evil. Just sad, lonely, and pathetic. And this was in 2006 and the LGBTQ community was not very accepted back then. They were acknowledged and started getting rights but were still outcasts to society. And he probably did have a shitty home life. He's not evil just...broken. and I find that to be worse
@@izzyt1626 I agree, Kyle was like a perfect antihero.
@@nobodytheowlhow was he an antihero?
@@izzyt1626he's plain evil you can't say otherwise
@@GameOver-nm2us ya no I agree but not idk it's confusing (to me) he's horrible and cruel and diabolical but I feel like if he just went to therapy before than a lot of this would've maybe not be avoided but it wouldn't have gone down the way it did?
4 months late but OHH MY GOD this was actually so amazing.
sam mentioning that kyle and brian seemed like more than friends. the diary writer saying they could never be with brian. the closet that doesn't seem to serve much of a purpose. they're all such good hints to kyle being gay!!!
its also interesting how the diary switches between using the nickname b and brians full name. maybe it's something like b is kyles idealized version of brian, vs when he writes about who brian actually is and how he actually feels??
i feel bad for every character in this story. sam got framed and discarded, brian was manipulated and probably suffers a lot of guilt, stacy was used, and kyle was terrified of who he really was. the story behind each one of them was SO GOOD RAHHH
And I love how, esp at the start, you're like "ugh obnoxious teenagers in love, i know how *this* story is gonna go" and then *you don't*, it's absolutely beautiful!
I find it so hard to feel bad for both Stacy and Kyle, considering Stacy herself was using others to humiliate them, and Kyle let it bottle up inside of him that he was willing to hurt a human being. Not just hurt but also humiliate her into such a tremendous degree.
I could never be caught feeling bad for a murderer 💀
no because when the "kyle and brain seemed like more than friends" phrase came up, that's when it hit me
I was late to this too I kept seeing it in my recommended and never watched it until now, and now I"m upset I never watched it before the story, the characters, it all was amazing.
When he says "it's so echoey in here" and his voice also echoed, it scared the shit out of me. Great editing right there
I jumped more at that then any other scare in the game 😂🤣😂
@@randimarsh3596 Idk the girl behind the character going towards him made me have goosebumps ;_;
Same it made me jump lol
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who got scared lol
Me too I wasn’t paying attention to what he was saying and the echo freaked me tf out 😭😭
It was so cool how throughout Sam’s diary you would have comments like “Kyle was giving me that creepy stare” and then at the end it all just made sense because that was her noticing his overwhelming hate for her but just not realising. And as an audience, we then just pass by that little detail like Sam did until the ending comes and it all makes sense. All the little details click and make the full picture, which is what makes this such an amazingly well-written story.
Yes agreed there youve said everything i wanted to say so im just gonna reply to your comment
yeah I was going to say the same thing...
could you have spoilered this atleast?
@@Nabooze it's called: watch the video before reading the comments.
@@Nabooze as much as its annoying, the comments section is an area where the community can discuss the video. Could a 'SPOILER' tag be put at the top as a warning? Yes. But it is what it is. Sometimes people get excited to share thoughts and forget to do this and that's ok
It’s so tragic that Sam was there at the hill that night, assuming that Brian thought she was a creep. At least Brian knows the truth about the photos.
Right and the fact that her last diary entry was her pleading that Brian talks to her again, she was probably so happy and excited to clear things up with him and talk to him, just devastating that she died thinking Brian hated her.
the way this game uses your assumptions and expectations against you is absolutely stunning. at the very beginning it almost seems like another unreal/unity indie horror game with a shallow story and common tropes but sam's diary entries are compelling enough to pull you in. then it hits you with the one two punch of societal assumptions about "crazy/obsessive" teenage girls and the assumption that both diaries are sam's, so when the truth is finally revealed it hits like a goddamn train. and the buildup to the reveal is so well-paced and well-written that once you get to the page in kyle's diary that's like "it's all HER fault" all the pieces start to fall into place and it really gives you that sense of "it all makes sense now" and makes you want to go back and see everything again to see all the foreshadowing for what it is. that level of suspense and payoff and using one tiny piece of information to reveal the entire picture is difficult to pull off in any genre and medium, and I truly don't think I've seen another horror game that does it anywhere near as well as this one, much less while still making it an effective horror game. and that's not even mentioning how real and fully fleshed out the characters are. mad mad props to the creator of this game. it's a masterpiece.
seriously... it's like it's taking everything you thought you knew and just turning it all around
Couldn’t have explained it better myself
I feel so bad thinking that Sam was a creepy over-obsessed weirdo and then finding out she was actually super normal and could have had such a great life except that this guy just absolutely ruins and then ends her life.
same here🙃🙂
I think that’s what made the twist so surprising. The beginning is laid out so specifically cliche, even sam referencing relating to a teen romance novel. You think it’s just another rejected girl game who goes violent.
And then you find out you’re Kyle, he made everyone think that on purpose. And it clicks so instantly but in such a way you’re stunned because even you believed it. I don’t know what this is called, but I guess it’s the opposite of Dramatic Irony. I love it.
Off- topic anyone remember Joanna Lopez

I loved the allusion to "Misery" by Stephen King. For those that don't know, the plot centers around an obsessive stalker who kidnaps her favorite author and tortures him into writing.
the small detail of kyle coming out of the closet after the scene of the burning diary and note is kind of funny and very impressive
Those who don’t know: ‘Misery’ is a book about an author who finished a book series and gets into an accident in the middle of nowhere. The one who finds him is a nurse who takes him to her home... But she hated how his series ended, traps the author through her own medical knowledge, and forces him to write a continuation just for her using an old broken typewriter. In other words, the nurse is a crazed stalker fan keeping the author captive in order to keep writing.
It’s what Stephen King described as his worst nightmare and it fits for what this game is about!
I watched the movie, and it was really creepy
@EnderArt At the risk of making a game reference, the book is really good too. Definitely worth a read!
sledgehammer.
I read the book
And watched the movie great concept
Oh my God I love how the lines saying "If I tell B how I feel it would ruin his life" It made no sense at the beginning since I just assumed she thought she wasn't worth it but it makes a lot more sense that people would judge Brian if he had a boyfriend
You saying this just made me realize that as well! All the “it would ruin his reputation talk” is so well done, because of how in Sam’s Diary she refers to herself as a city girl outcast. This game is an absolute masterpiece
It seems the time of this takes place in the early 2000s. Pretty sure it was still highly judged then. Only when mass publicity came into play due to the emergence of all forms of social media did the criticism die down substantially because people realized "Eh why should I care about this stranger's life?" while also getting hooked up on another one's life because that's just how it is. In other words, this would never have happened if it was in the present. Victims of circumstance.
@@caseygunter6813 I get what you're saying but I feel like it doesn't really matter what era you live in If a homosexual admits they have a crush on you and you are straight that's going to hurt no matter what and (especially in a school setting) it's going to make people laugh and tease you
@@caseygunter6813 While yeah, some of that is true, unfortunately a lot of people still care about if a man likes another man or if a woman likes another woman. Even worse, obsessive and creepily so when they're young and "following a trend". I think it'll still be a long time before people understand that differences doesn't always equal bad, in fact it almost never does. But yeah, amazing story.
@@Vesperad0 The obsession is what occurs when someone lets their emotional attachment get condensed due to either lack of confidence or some other reason. It becomes creepy, but for the most part the creep doesn't even realize it. The ones that do realize it, however, are the worst. Then we have the ones like Sam who think they're creeps when in actuality they're self conscious.
The fact Kyle started as such a side character to him being more included than I thought crazy
This game is excellent because it makes you empathize for everyone, even the “bad” characters. They are so deep, and 3 dimensional. So many layers to each of them. And the raw emotions each character shows in each part of the story is so realistic. I can literally feel each of their feelings when you’re reading their notes/texts. Loved it. 10/10. This game brought me to tears
Exactlyy! You can tell it's so good because you get all these different perspectives, even at one point of the game you're thanking Stacy, the full on enemy of Sam, for telling Brian the secret!
The closet's soul purpose was so Kile could "hide in the closet".
and then you come out at the end
That's damn clever, I didn't even realized

Never let them know your next move
It's telling how many of us assumed 'okay here we go, crazy girl in unrequited love' at the beginning, because we're so used to that trope that it doesn't even cross our mind that it could be a guy's diary. Just like how his love for Brian is 'unthinkable' to many people (at least that's how he perceives it). It's even more heartbreaking reading the diary entries second time, knowing who is writing them and why, they have a whole different tone.
i actually thought "sam" was a guy in the beginning because the first diary (kyles) gave me self hating homosexual with internalized homophobia vibes.
Pretty sure Sam is a woman since at 49:32 it describes Sam as a girl of 17 years old found dead at Colton hill but if I’m confused or something just let me know
@@Jamjamsart Oh interesting, I didn't consider that at all! It was only when too many things didn't add up that I began to suspect, only minutes before Jack got it honestly. Then it all started to make way more sense. I wonder if they used the name Sam for that particular reason, so you can read it different ways and it keeps you guessing.

Poor Sam, she really didn't deserve such a fate and horrible bullying. She just wanted a happy life.

But it's no excuse for what he did, he ruined Sam's life and killed her.
I feel no sympathy for Brian. He did all of this to himself. He never took the price yet somehow got pissed when someone else took it. He killed a girl for no good reason and then spent 3 years making himself beleive he was the victim.

i relate to the pedphile thing in a way. my stepdad was a pedophile and he's been grooming me from 14-18 years old... thankfully i haven't been suffering fro the big R but it got dangerously close and unlike most my mom only blamed me for it and married him. i lived at my aunts for 2 years almost and now i'm sadly back with my abusive father at his house. jack you're kindness and warmth is one of the few things keeping me alive. thank you for being at pax an extra day in 2018 and being so nice to me and my little sister, she told you about her mother and she jokes about you squeezing her like a constrictor to this day. thank you so much, i'm now 20 years old with a job a boyfriend and my own cat. working on an apartment though. and sadly my boyfriends long distance but we made it over a year and a half!!
edit: i'm happy to tell you all that i'm living in my own apartment working on getting it ready for my cat, i've been with my first boyfriend for 4 years, we are poly now and i have a wonderful second boyfriend who loves me to death and can't get enough of being with me. (we're all obsessed with eachother like no joke) the poly has lasted almost 2 months so fingers crossed. i've been standig up against my fathers bullshit since moving out, not allowing him to belittle me even if it means he tries to take the only thing he has left to control, for now, my car. but that won't be under his control for long. as inconvenient as it is my stepmom who isn't so amazing herself is tring to get me on my own insurance and the car under my name. 1: so i can be an adult 2: he cant take what he doesn't own. all he can do is say "i'm not helping you anymore" once that happens which, oh no, whatever will i do, i'll just go to the car shop he worked at for help and i know they'll try to help me best they can with the money i got cuz i'm my fathers child. my sister still lives there with our father but she's mostly away at college and i've offered for her to stay with me whenever she likes when she's home so she's at least garunteed to not be treated like shit. i'll keep her safe guys don't worry. i love that girl more than anything.
I hope you can get out of that house, and into your own apartment. you can do this, hang in there!
I hope you can get your sister out of that house too :(
I know where you've been and I am so sorry that you had to go through that too, you are a real one!😎
Wish you a good luck on your life and hope that you are able to get away from those sick people!
We hear you and you are not alone my dear.
This felt like a novel that I couldn’t look away. It unfolded in front of me. I love that it was unpredictable too. I did not see that coming. I expected an over obsessed girl confused about her emotions who unalived herself. However, being in the queer community, it’s tough man. I had teachers and principles pray the gay away as I was thrown into a religious (cult) school. I felt like an abomination. I empathize with Kyle but also, Sam lost her life too early. Man, emotions go away! Legit I am going to cry if I continue to think about this. So good.
i haven’t read any comments about it so i just wanna point out the added detail of Stacy assuming Kyle was into *Sam* and not Brian (when she texted Kyle that she told Brian everything). It sheds a light on Stacy’s insecurities about not being enough for Kyle, and assumed he liked some other girl because of how distant in their own relationship (due to his obsession). Super subtle way to build more depth to every character!!
And it helps to notice that in the town the idea of an homosexual isn't even considered, maybe that's another point to add to why Kyle has such a huge internalized homophobia.
Dude I was looking for this/these comments! Agree
Thisss that subtle detail sold it for me. The fact that she is so insecure she cannot imagine that it’s about B and not Sam.
@@Multi.Fandom. in the end his fears were real, which is sad because it drove him over the edge.

Why is no one talking about the editing? The way Jack’s camera flashes when he takes the pictures at 1:08:10 is so great
the editing was so good, i loved that part
Editing was so, so good
I also liked when the text went over his camera
Because it's apparently so good that we don't need to talk about it, we already know the masterpiece.
Sorry. I was hiding from the possible jumpscares.
But since you mentioned it. The edit is great.👌
I actually appreciate Jack waiting to play this game because it feels like he's matured a lot more and has more meaningful things to say than he did when he was younger
you can tell this game really stuck with Sean and really affected him and got into his head, which i love when games can do that. like really reach us and make us feel whatever. incredible game. when Sean started getting teary, i got teary. just wow. was not expecting that ending!
I don’t know if the creator meant to do this but did anyone else notice the different handwritings in the letter diary vs the diary book? It’s especially noticeable if you look at the way the “a” is written. And when you find out Sam’s diary is being stolen and then find out how stacy and kyle had something to do with it, the diary handwriting changed too!!!! The a’s changed into the way Sam writes them and I feel like that’s because Kyle was so jealous and subconsciously wanted to be like her so he started to write like her too. And then at the ending when Kyle writes he confessed to clear his mind and conscious, he gets his own handwriting back.
yeah, the different handwriting (aside from just the writing mannerisms) tipped me off pretty early that it wasn't the same person writing the main diary and the loose diary! tbh it made me feel kinda bad how much people tended to assume that both were Sam for a good chunk of the game too as a result. like no... be nice to Sam... she didn't do anything wrong... :(
personally, the "m"s stood out the most to me, since Kyle's has that longer line to the side while Sam's are just plain curves! though yeah, when the book diary started matching Sam's handwriting while also referring to her as ruining everything it was like. whoa!
Considering the creator was involved in a group called the Korean Linguistics Lab, I think it's safe to assume that was on purpose.
Also, in some of the loose "journal" entries there's a lot that don't say "Love, Sam" at the end. I think that's Kyle creating fake journal pages so Brian think's Sam is crazy. Like the one in the bathroom where "Sam" relates to a crazy girl who k!lls a bunch of people, it doesn't say "Love, Sam" at the end. I think Kyle wrote that.
Damn I didn’t notice that. I hope this was intentional as it is very subtle yet powerful
Definitely intentional, even Stacy's handwriting is different from Sam and Kyle. Her "n" is written with the line and a curve instead of the arch of Sam's and arch with a line of Kyle's.
from a female's perspective, this is doubly terrifying because of how everyone in her school immediately believed that she was a creep and how easily kyle was able to get away with her murder. like stacey Told brian about what kyle did, and brian never went to the cops about it after sam's death??? my girl deserved so much better
I think nobody but Kyle knew that he had killed Sam. The note stating Stacy told Brian what Kyle had done seemed to relate more to the bullying and rumors, since Stacy helped Kyle frame her in all of it in his attempts to drive a wedge between Brian and Sam. It's why Kyle went on to just 'take care of things himself'. Stacy was no longer part of the equation at that point, and so couldn't have told Brian that Kyle killed Sam. The police mistaking it all for a suicide certainly didn't help anyone actually finding out either.
i think partly im unsure but i think brian left before sam died
Also, keep in mind that if the police thought it was a suicide, Brian knowing what Kyle put her through would have led him to believe she killed herself from the bullying too. Kyle burned the evidence, after all.
That said, I would have expected Brian to report the bullying, to confront Kyle, but it's a story, and Brian isn't a real person. Maybe you could logically say that Brian felt scared that by confronting Kyle, it would have left him trapped in Rosen Peek, that it would have ruined his chances to get out. I don't know.
Sam deserved so much better though.

after starting college, i realize just how lonely i was and how i still am. i turned to watching content creators because of how real they seemed and how unlonely i felt watching. i greatly appreciate the outlet here. i genuinely get teary-eyed seeing these heart-to-hearts in videos because i never got these from anyone - family or friends.
I hope your situation has improved!
i hope you're doing all good now buddy.
this is my exact situation too. hope ur doing well
I love how supportive Sean is about the LGBTQ community and other people in general, there arnt a lot of people who are that supportive over all people from all groups
The saddest part is that stories like these really do happen, souls tortured by themselves going on to torture others. If only Brian listened to Sam, if only Kyle could love himself
Loving yourself is the hard part, especially for those of us who started questioning our orientation in the '90s -- there was a _lot_ of pressure to pretend to be straight, and it _hurts_ to have to do that for years.
It kinda reminds me of the case of Conrad Roy.
1000th liker :)
Sheesh
Idk man.. I don't think Kyle is the tragic character you think he is
"I finally got the closure I deserve" Ha. Even right at the end, after all he has learnt, he's still a selfish, self-centered arse. What about everyone else's closure? Sam's family? Not a single thought for them. Not even an apology towards Sam. I think that's part of the writing, the type of person he is.
I watched John Wolfe play this years ago, and he was impressed by it - really, really good game. Heartbreaking and terrifying.
Yeah, Kyle is an absolute prick. Sam's mother has to live with the torment of wondering whether her daughter was _murdered_ , or whether she could have said something to stop her killing herself. And Kyle's just like "damn yo should I stop being agoraphobic or not"
Considering that Kyle ended up confessing to the police in the end, everybody must now know the reason behind Sam's death, and although it doesn't bring closure to everyone else, it certainly broke the barrier that would have prevented it from ever coming to them.
lol.
and John doesnt hand out W's for shit too. hahahaha. He makes you EARN it.
You know his fun little gag "rEd MeAnS dAnGer YAlL"???
First time i EVER seen a "red jumpscare" got him was this game you play as a guy witch helping out a police department forsee crime activity. If JOHN gets got by a red jumpscare, YOUR GAME IS GOOD.
Yeah, definitely one of my favorite playthroughs that John has done!
Yea! That blew my mind too. He was a narcissist. I'm not saying anything against people who struggle with their sexual identity. Kyle, as a character, really didn't learn anything.
40:17
I love that his first fear response is just to become more irish
I rewatched this and my heart still shattered after seeing Sam being killed and suffer the rumours .
I love Stacy’s character. She’s put in as this stereotypical jocks girlfriend character, but you can see how she let herself be controlled by Kyle just because she felt like she needed to be in the relationship to have an identity. Then she’s eventually able to break free of that mindset when Kyle goes too far, but her ability to break away from that inadvertently led Kyle to kill Sam. Although a minor character in the story, she plays such a massive role and written very well where she doesn’t seem to be a catalyst.
Agree but wouldn’t say she was a minor character
41:56
She still is a terrible person tho. She roofied Sam, broke into her place, and read her diary. She only stopped when it was no longer just torturing Sam. She's fantastically written, but she's not even sympathetic like Kyle (arguably) is
I dont mean any of this as an argument against what youre saying btw, im just giving my thoughts on this
Yo mind adding a spoiler warning there homie?
@@donston5624 lol why you reading comments before watching the video?
Everyone’s story here is so incredibly heartbreaking…. Brian being manipulated and stalked by someone he trusted and having to move on from that kind of trauma, Sam being an outcast from the very beginning and then being killed for the one good thing to happen to her, Kyle doing horrible monstrous things because of his mental problems and internationalized homophobia…. What really makes this a tragedy is that in an ideal world where Kyle could have gotten medical help and also been accepted as who he was this whole thing probably could have been avoided…. God. Incredible storytelling, one of the best games I’ve ever seen
The part where it said "hide coward" as he hid in the closet was very well done.
spolier alerts are cool lol
@@docschaeffer3890 Maybe watch the video first? That is your fault.
It would've been funny if B was short for Beast, as in MrBeast.
@@docschaeffer3890 That's kinda this whole comment section including the one you just replied to. Sorry buddy, spoiler warning for everything
God, I love whoever made Jack's face disappear and reappear in the bathroom in time with the camera flashes! So incredibly amazing!
Sam's story broke my heart.
the symbolism of having to hide in the closet is so genius
Haha wow I didn't even think of that. Makes me want to rewatch the video with the knowledge of everything being from Kyle's POV to see how the tone of the diary entries changes.
Oh my god I just realized that!!
When jack was in the bathroom and his face-cam only came up when the shutter clicked was such a nice editing touch
I kept thinking something was gonna happen with the face cam or something.
I found funny for some reason lmao
yeeeeess
I liked it alot, I haven't seen anyone else do that, so it was so cool to see him edit that
Yeah that was cool
Dude the premise for this game is terrifying. It starts off so innocent with the diary, but soon develops into just how obsessed these people are. The story builds up perfectly upon itself to fill in the gaps and tell you what's going on without you fully realizing it.
This game terrifies me, because of the scares and simply because of what happened to Sam and what Kyle did. Even so, it’s still an amazing game, and it’s so much deeper than people originally think.
This is totally worth a re-watch afterwards, the whole story has an almost new feel after you learn the truth
FRR
Yeah! Especially Jack's speech at the end, absolutely worth it!
tbh I can't watch this video again , the ending left me unsatisfied since Kyle didn't get what he deserves.
@@zero_sI think he deserves mental help instead of being "punished" honestly.
i watch this every day since i found it
Sean’s whole speech at the end shows that he’s definitely one of the good ones. He’s one of the few influencers that seems completely genuine and never fake. Someone who doesn’t make you feel small and that the simple viewer can actually connect with. Keep being you, Sean!
That's why I like him heaps because he's just real.. and that's rare.
Exactly what I base my channel on :)
@@SugarcatPlays quick self shoutout
@@doccalis3150 jack literally raided my stream last Christmas :) I truly base my entire belief system on how he fostered his community. Everyone is welcome here and with mine. Nothing but love 😀
For 3 years I was utterly alone and I felt as tho I didn’t have anyone. But after three years I can finally say I have friends, I still don’t talk much and I’m not that social but finally after years I can say things aren’t hopeless. Thanks Sean for keeping company in a while
“Finish what you Started” has so much more impact when you find out what it actually means at the end
I love how the "finish what you started" with the finishing the hearts related to Kyle drawing those hearts around the school to frame Sam I love how sneakily they foreshadow things
It was just a prank Sam, A prank Sam. It was just a prank Sam.
i like how the jerk characters actually have morals
I'm a Native American bisexual trans woman, and to be clear, there is nothing that justifies Kyle's actions, but his feelings of anger and frustration hit really close to home. I was in love with my best friend from 7th grade to 9th grade, and by the time I had accepted my sensuality he had unfortunately taken his own life, so I was never able to share those feelings with him. That feeling of hating who I am, and wondering "Why can't I just be a normal person" lead to me taking up drinking at a young age and falling into a deep cycle of hurting myself physically and mentally with my actions, then drinking away the pain which caused more damage to my body. It's been a hard cycle to break out of, I start and stop drinking a lot, though I'll be 5 months sober on Oct 10th. I've learned to accept who I am, and while it has cost me friends and family, I'm proud to recognize who I am and be who I am today. I've made mistakes, I've hurt people (thank God nothing too serious like physical harm, just things like bullying), and I've had to make peace with all that so I can get better. Kyle's cycle of self hate hits too close to home, and while that doesn't justify his harassment of others or the murder he committed, I understand that cycle of self hate, and I understand the feeling of wanting to take it out on others.
Thank you for sharing your heart and story with us. Blessings 🙏✨
Yea, hate can make you do a lot of scary and shitty things. I'm glad you were finally able to accept yourself for who you are, i know how difficult that can be. I feel the constantly questioning "why can't I just be normal" thing too, as a person who's also bi and has depression, I constaatly find myself questioning why can't I just be a normal person. But that's also the beauty of humans, no one is ever normal! Anyway, hoping you're still sober and doing well after all these months. Bisexual women represent (woo)!
i am so proud of your progress. you are amazing!
When Seán goes on a tangent, explaining how he overthinks everything and how it affects his attention span, only to realize that he misread the question; Priceless

ADHD do be like that apparently
Yeah it does that sometimes
HAHAHAH IKR I WAS THINKING THE EXACT SAME THING. love him though-🥺❤😭
@Some annoying person then, why are you here?
@Some annoying person sure, whatever helps you sleep at night
I love how I went from “Oh, it’s Sam, a crazy girl with a crush” to “Oh, it’s Brian, being stalked” to “Oh? Is it Stacy? Does she somehow like Brian? Is that why she thinks it’s wrong? Because she’s with Kyle?” to “ Gosh, Kyle? Now I get why Stacy said she’d stop doing thing for you- Doesn’t help that you’re a psycho narcissist with a ton of self-hatred, jealousy and spite” I love the mystery of who the diary belonged to, it made it so awesome- And now I’m gonna watch one of Sean’s meme time videos so I don’t get paranoid and stay up all night
Edit: A door is open that I swear I closed. I swear on Sam’s diary I closed that door.
Remember that Kyle never told Brian that was him so he probably still thought that it was Sam
@@DOTMDeath No. At the end Stacy told Brian everything that Kyle did. So Brian knew. It was what made Kyle went nuts and decided to kill Sam, because his secret was spoiled by Stacy to Brian and Brian stopped talking to him
I know right? It's such great storytelling. I NEED more horror games that can both tell a well-written touching story and can also be terrifying. I love this game so much and it especially hits home as a queer person myself.
@@epic5895 Yes, I’m sure most of us can find Kyle’s situation a tad relatable. Maybe not the crazy, pushing Sam off a cliff bit, but the not being able to be true to yourself and maybe even the intense jealousy of the person who can freely be with that one person for you. I wish he had someone who he could really talk to.
@@hirukashiro5995 but also remember he didn't try to kill Sam it was an accident but he never called anyone or help Sam so he still fucked up
Twice now has Sean made me cry at the end of his videos with his kind and caring words. It’s just so nice to hear someone care
i love the mini pep talks you do at the end of emotional games, they really helped me when i watched them as an emotionally unstable middle schooler and didnt know if i wanted to be alive. im glad you were here on youtube to tell me and tons of other people that life is worth living, and still do it now :)
I feel so bad for Sam, this is messed up and just heartbreaking. Can you imagine being in her shoes? How that would feel? god, Kyle is so messed up. This game made me feel so many emotions, anger, sadness, heartbreak. It is so well put together, I wish we could see this in like a movie format
From memory there have been a few Cold case tv series episodes similar to this.
With how this game was done, I'd like to see it as a film one day too
@Maxine Hailey maybe don’t read the comments mid-way through- this is what people do after they watch a UA-cam video. They leave comments about how they feel about what they watched-
@Maxine Hailey and I’m not the only one who does this, the entire comment section is full of them. 💀
@Maxine Hailey plus. That wasn’t a spoiler, you want spoilers? Keep scrolling you’ll find them :)
I know right, the only thing I know close to this is Carrie in how the victim was basically killed because of someone else being jealous and the person they almost frame was the one they both loved, only in Carrie she lived to get revenge and it was soooo good to see happen
"Don't live in your loneliness. Don't allow yourself to be completely consumed by being alone and think that that's the only thing your life is going to be. Because it's not. There are people who will listen." I didn't expect myself to suddenly start crying at this. Thank you, Sean.
Thank you for putting this in writing. I felt it too 💜
@@snowjewl12 yeah it's amazing 😍
But this games it's very scary but why kyle kill Sam ?
Wholesome.
30+ years of experience have taught me otherwise but the sentiment is appreciated & will resonate with others who need it
There truly are people who will listen and understand from personal experience. They will not judge either.
Dang, really needed that breath at the end, that was a roller-coaster of a video
That was legit such a great narrative and the game deserves more exposure, Sean playing it helps and I was so expecting right after the "good bye B" to see a "and I'm sorry Sam, I'm truely sorry, I'll soon make it up to you just wait, I'll get my punishment"
I love how the closet was openable, but empty the entire time because it was meant to be a symbol of the space Kyle was living in (the closet). So so so clever. You were waiting the entire time to find something in there, going inside sometimes, but nothing was ever in there besides you (Kyle).
oh my god this is so right
Underrated comment 🤌🏻
OH! OHMYGOD THAT WAS WHAT IT WAS?
that's crazy cool, and the one time you (Kyle) go into the closet, when you try and escape you still have to hide in fear
i was about to point this out as well!! kyle was figuratively and literally in the closet this whole fcking time
The bathroom scene where his face cam blinks to the flash is 10/10 immersion
am i the only one whi doesnt see this? that isnt happening
@@clairoswife 1:08:15
Honestly agreed. That part was pretty great.
I loved that part too! It's so cool how Sean's editor implemented that
Bruh, the scare at 44:48 legit made me jump while waiting for food, I must’ve looked stupid lol
Editing in this was really subtle and slick. Really loved the seamless transition to putting Jack behind the text at the end, and showing and hiding his video feed with the camera flashes in the bathroom.
Amazing game too. This was fantastic.
the whole end where he was like “use these comments as your diary” and “don’t live in your loneliness” was so tear-jerking for me.
Same
Same
same
nice veliona pfp btw
❤️❤️❤️
@@ildottore1790 tysm omg i’m surprised someone recognised it
the plot twist of making you think it’s sam’s diary the whole time but finding out that it’s kyle’s, this “side character” who was mentioned the least, only further shows how kyle’s struggle was so hidden and how alone and insignificant he must’ve felt on top of the guilt of his sexuality and his jealousy that consumed him all because he felt he couldn’t be himself and accept his feelings he had for brian, and was so repressed to the point that he can’t even say his name is his diary and can only refer to him as “B”, whereas sam fully refers to him as brian in all her diary entries.
So he was gay
@@pondo3386 yes and he had internalised homophobia
i said this earlier, but depends on the creator i found, some cottoned on that it could be kyle earlier than the reveal and those some were LGBT, so i think it shows how some people would think 'oh they are just friends' but LGBT people are able to also think 'perhaps this is more than friendship kyle is feeling', its a very unique game in that aspect and love it. because even sean here went through a checklist almost of who it could be but forgot kyle as a candidate too in the story.
Very unique and good for people to remember that this kind've thinking could have been happening from someone you would never have thought of in your school being LGBT but being so far back in the closet. A fair few fellow LGBT friends from my school said they had GF's in other schools, only for them to come out after school was finished and find out they were going out with another person in your year and alot of people being totally surprised.
Yea and when you remember all the things Sam wrote about Kyle - how he kept staring at her and would always get Brian to skip school with him.
I suspected for a bit that Stacy was writing the diary when Jack found the article on Sam's death. Her name would've fit with "SB" and it was mentioned Kyle kept looking at Sam. Turned out to be much sadder
@@hate6crew6death6roll yes and as a queer person myself i definitely feel like it shows the impact that homophobia and stigmatisation of lgbt people can have on those in the lgbt community and create feelings of internalised homophobia which can be so destructive, even despite not explicitly mentioning it in the game. it’s so well done
One thing I love most about games like these are the lessons and advice that can be gained from them. Especially from Jack, when he takes time to talk about how the story impacted him, and relate it to the real world and to people who might be struggling. It warms my heart, and I wish that there were more people in the world like Jack. His comforting words usually bring tears to my eyes, and this time it definitely did, throughout this whole video.
As someone who was the target of some pretty vicious bullying as a kid, Sam's story hits home especially hard. Sam didn't do anything wrong, she was just different. After a lot of work I've learned that the same is true for me. Such a heartbreaking game all around. It seemed like Kyle had not only his own internalized fear and homophobia to deal with, but also some pretty severe psychosis? Still unforgivable. Still wretched. But so, so sad.
yess. im glad youre kind to yourself💗💙
I don't even think it was cause she was different... It's cause she liked a guy who had a crazy stalker
The worst in she did was like an innocent friggin picture of her favorite dude at a ball game, poor gal
@@FailedNoName Brian having a stalker is obviously what lead to her tragic death but the bullying was happening despite that. It happened at her old school due to her dad then at her new school with the popular girl. Seemingly because she was shy and studious and came from out of town. Sam did nothing wrong and didn’t deserve this in the slightest. Being shy or “different” isn’t a bad thing but sadly people get bullied for it. Just like the original commenter mentioned, and I also was bullied for it. What happened to Sam in this story is obviously next level
@@idiotoninternet This. I actually did a little accidental "experiment" in elementary school. I'm an introvert, but I was in a group of extroverted friends and I felt always like a third wheel and so tired. So I befriended introvert there and that's when bullying started lol.
Not from the group of friends, the girls were nice, but once the extroverted boys saw I became quiet they thought I was an easy target Ig.
The way he just started talking at the end completely broke me man. so many creators just end the video when they’re done with the game but the fact that he takes the time to just say what’s on his mind means so fucking much to me and I couldn’t even tell you why .
One of the huge reasons I love Sean!! Everyone else wouldn't talk at that length about the games they play.
Much of what he said at the end really hit me hard. Particularly as a guy who only came out in his 30s, but struggled with feelings all my life…
It's because it shows how much he genuinely cares for people in general and wants his community to be a safe and healing space for others.
Big respect to jack to talk about his analysis and how he empathizes with people who have different struggles compared to his own circumstances
I had watched Evelyn's playthrough of this game before so obviously I already knew the story going into this video. The experience was in no way decreased by that fact though, the writing is impeccable and the horror sequences were still super terrifying. What an amazing game with interesting and complex characters. I'd love to see more from the developer.
the way this game sets you up with the classic home invasion jumpscare-sam is the creepy stalker expectation and then leaves you with this story that really leaves you needing to take that breath at the end with how much more profound it ended up being... i love it when horror games subvert expectations by way of just some damn good storytelling that ends up really sticking with you. and i completely echo the sentiment of being so captivated by the writing that i was excited to reach the next diary entry, solely because of how invested i was in trying to guess at the mystery. the atmosphere created by the horror elements truly elevated the experience, this was a great game. thanks for playing it sean!
Sean casually suggesting straight up plagiarism for book reports, as a full time content creator, is absolutely hilarious to me
I hate when I’m like “I’m not gonna get scared” immediately gets a jump scare after 🤣 love the long episodes! So immersive and the scares are genuine!
The replys on this is concerning 😭
@@wiccanamantis2007 concerning is an understatement...
@@TheseSlayer agreed
reporting these replies…
Idk, i noticed i completely stopped being scared of videos, except mandela catalogue, i just cant watch it at night
The whole game is almost like a Stephen King in itself, absolute masterpiece
i think even more than the time period kyle's major obstacle was his social status as a jock in a small town. he was all alone with his feelings and they festered into insanity.
Been struggling a lot lately. The part where Sean was talking about humans needing struggles, really hit hard. Thank you for the awesome video
You got this, we got this! We will get through these necessary struggles together ❤️ 💪
You're loved and you're so strong I believe in you, you got thiss!
I fought a hard battle for almost 9 years, it was awful but now it's over and things are looking great.
What I'm saying is you'll get through it. It may not be tomorrow or even this year but the night doesn't last forever, the morning WILL come, hang in there, you got this.
Sorry, I'm not really good at generic inspirational messages :/
I'm familiar with struggling though! If that matters.
@clon insert// one hateful comment that is unhappy with themselves to the point they have to say this on a normal UA-cam video
“There’s always more than one side to the story” personified in a game, and well done too-
This was a wonderfully crazy, well paced and written, journey of a game and it was one of those experiences where you just lean back in your chair with a sigh and go "Wow..."
exactly my reaction. (and jack's!) some games have you burst out into excited rambles, or start going into denial, when you see the credits roll. and then there's games like these, where you sit back in silence, and just exhale deeply, with an exclaimation. I love this game
This is probably one of if not my favourite horror games it’s just so incredibly well thought out
"Don't live in your loneliness" "You deserve someone who likes you back" I wish childhood/teenage me had heard these. I eventually figured it out and love my life now, but I really struggled in my younger years. I hope others take it to heart
I did the same, jack was my only friend outside of school for months, I closed myself off and it sucked 😅
I hear you, but even as a stranger who doesn’t know you personally- you deserve so much good and things always get better 💜 glad to hear you love your life now. Wishing you the best.
I feel this. In the beginning of the video I was like “Huh.. Some of this is pretty relatable”
Then it just FLIES off the rails perfectly.
Still needed to watch this anyways, I’m STILL going through some weird funky relationship stuff.
I am 17 and I don't think I deserve love let alone believe anyone loves me.
@@kshitijrai8840 Well you're wrong one day someone will love you just as much as you love them, it might not be today or tomorrow but one day you will, take it from a veteran loner this is no way to live, I still struggle but I'm not giving up and neither should you, I don't know you and I'm not going to pretend understand what you're going through but I know that if you give up this is the end of the game, so DO NOT GIVE UP, you and I WILL LOVE AND BE LOVED by people that value us just as much as we value them.
Haven't seen anyone talk about this, but the section where it says 'hide coward' and it immediately frames the character to hide in the closet?? Fantastic little moment. This game was really good, really enjoyed watching sean play this!
Omgggg I totally missed the double meaning of that until I read your comment! That's what I get for watching this while cooking. XD
Oh my goodness, you are so totally right!
I'm glad that Sean cares about us like this...watching his videos helps me feel less lonely... there are nights where the loneliness seems as it's closing around me.. like the darkness takes over the day... then I hear his intro and it's like I have a friend In the room keeping me company.. for over 9 years I've made him apart of my nightly routine and for that I'm thankful. Im thankful for him being so supportive of his community.. ❤️
Honestly really heartbreaking story. I would love to see a second game based on Brian's perspective on all this. That's the only piece of the story that feels like it's missing
No, I wouldn't be interested
This game was transcendent in the horror genre. A lot of care really went into this plot and it felt personal. I think it's lovely that we are in a place where everything horror related doesn't have to be jump scares or complicated monsters or even the types of stories we've heard over and over again. This was refreshing. This game also took place almost exclusively in one small space. It felt like the developer used that to their advantage. I have claustrophobia and while this was nothing compared to being stuck in a tube slide (for example) the feeling was very present. Great work all around! I hope this developer is working on more titles.
I really liked the ambiance of the game. In fact, I like psychological horror games in general since PT, Layers of Fear and Devotion. Surely Love Sam is added to my list
You know you've found a good game when Jack finishes it and there's still 10 minutes left in the video for him to talk about how great it was.
Absolutely^^
