I know I'm late, but just in case anyone else's curious too, the text at 31:54 says 'Trip to Romania, year 1957' 35:30 "Kolya and Sashka, year 1956" (common short versions of the names Nikolay and Alexander, respectively) 36:12: "Me after the exhibition, year 1953"
Chris is OG YT. His back catalogue is insane in size. He's played SO many horror games at this point that he reads them like a book. I do kind of miss the times when he would get sh*t scared and start panicking though haha. They were hilarious.
I was SO happy when I saw a 2+ hour video from my favourite UA-camr!!! I didn't think this game was weird at all. I thought it was fantastic. I love it when devs do something different. I thought this game was creative, imaginative and gorgeous to look at. I love that it wasn't frantically paced with constant chase sequences and I love that it was creepy without tons of blood and gore. Really well done to the dev! And as always thank you Chris for playing it! ❤
I think next to the photographs of main character in the forest, was the torn off piece of the sketch painting. Maybe picking that up leads to a route with a "good" ending? I saw him hover over it but maybe its got a funky interact prompt and you need to crouch to pick it up, the warning at the painting before going back makes me think if thats not it, something else must be done there to trigger the good ending. As always, thanks for the consistent quality content and hard work, been watching about 7 years now and as always, looking forward to next time. Cheers
Hey Chris. Another great job with this game. I really appreciate you reading the text on the screen whenever the characters are speaking, especially in a foreign language. It sound like Russian, but I’m not sure. I know that from listening to past games that you have commented on, that you don’t like to do an incredible amount of reading and I can understand that, but it really helps people like myself who can’t read the text because of a visual impairment. It helps us be part of the game experience. Thank you for sharing this game with us.
Can you please play the game “burn house lane?” Made by the ppl that did cat lady, downfall and lorelai. It’s def got similarities with game styles… it’s psychological horror and there’s so many places to explore…. Based in reality but also not… the story is engaging and the choices you must make are truly ones that make you think. The characters are well written, the voice acting is superb imo and there’s much more different places to go and explore compared to the other games. The enemies and mystery of the story and what burnhouse lane truly keeps you wondering throughout the entire game. It’s been so long since you’ve played a game like this with so much horror based on morality, our lives, our choices… and I’d love to see you play and hear your thoughts on the whole world.
CJU: "Oh, shut up, Dad!" Turned out he probably had it coming. 😂 *SPOILER* Soooo, in the end, the protagonist failed to free his family and himself? The game never made clear what it would've taken to free everyone which, imo, made all the wandering around kind of pointless. There were some cool effects, and I liked the portals. Also, the effort was impressive for a solo dev. Too bad important guidelines and a concrete resolution were missing. Thanks for the poopless mega-video, Chris! 🚽👀👍
That was great, I think it had a nice gimmick of going in and out of the paintings. I wouldn't necessarily say it was super scary, but I think it was suspenseful enough. I'm still a little confused on who was taking the pictures? Was the mirror the cause of the evil spirit or was the act of breaking it, released the evil spirit? All in all though, good game! Can't believe you got Rick-Rolled 😂 Nice job Dev!
Props to the Dev/Devs for trying something different wandering around the same building going back and forth from rooms collecting items wears thin quick. Atleast this had a bit of variety and a unique way of adding some variety.
i appreciate how realistic this game looks, it doesn't really make me jump but i liked the tense atmosphere and overall visuals! great one CJU, thanks for the 2 h long video i was started to get very bored recently *ugh* glad to see you back from your little break!
Really enjoyed this game. Loved the different environments - using artwork and designing the environment after the medium used to create the artwork - was so creative and interesting. Oh, and the Rickroll was hilarious! It wasn’t overly scary, but creepy at times. It kept the uneasiness up, and the jumpscares were mostly really good, not overdone, or lazy. One got me really good! I literally pushed my chair back from the screen, which is something I never do. I’m still confused as to the full story. Who was taking pictures of you, and why? Who, or what, was “slenderman?” I don’t think it was necessarily grandfather, but maybe this Novikov that was hinted about? It felt like we are missing parts of the story. Overall, a fun and interesting game. Thanks, Chris!
Have you ever played any of the Sherlock Holmes games? Or you just not a fan of them? Like crime and punishments, devils daughter or the awakened? Been playing devils daughter and I feel like you’d enjoy it. Exploring for clues, interrogating characters, chase sequences w some combat… play forming… putting everything together to find the guilty… just seems like games you may like ?
Love seeing easter Eggs of you in games, there is so many!!😍🤩😍 so much Love out there for you Chris! Love it!! you deserve it, being a subscriber myself for IDK how many years, I always support you and tell other about you Etc. always makes me happy to see you in games, we gotta get you more Subs!! you sooooooo deserve it!😊😊🥰🥰
I like when the game mentioned "mandella effect" when that phrase was made in the 90s-2000s for the belief that nelson mandella died in prison but the game takes place in the 50s
a lot of references to the first Insidious movie, like with the boy dancing to the music in the beginning and then later on jumping out from on top of the closet
It just seemed wrong that family would victimize itself. It'd be one thing if you played a total outsider, a stranger. But to doom a descendant like that is just awful. They should be helping you to *escape* their fate.
A bag of beeps ? 😂loving this game and the fact that it’s long . Recovering from dental surgery so it’s keeping me relaxed and entertained . Plus the graphics and story are amazing ! Thanks Chris ❤
"And if you would like to renovate *your* origins... "😂😂😂 Never fails, but today's intro really cracked me up. Two hours, huhn? Guess I'll have to wait 'til later (Inner me (Im): No, NOW. Sensible me (Sm): Annie, put your big girl slippers on and take care of biz first. Im: Nooo, NOW! Sm: Sorry kid, it's gonna be later and no, you can't unfriend me. Im: Wanna bet?
I would love to know if they have multiple endings like he was told he would go home if he did what he ended up doing. Maybe they are making it so his grilfriend or wife has to save him in a sequel to this. I liked the game just wish that he was given the option to go home which I guess he did as he is with family but in a painting.
I get incredibly drowsy with the current heatwave in France, so I don't have the energy to watch youtube during the day. It's finally starting to get a bit colder after dark (still 26°c all night though 🥲) so I'm trying to relax. A long video from you is the best ❤️. The game was pretty good, both visually and in terms of creepy factor. Thank your for your hard work and stay hydrated!!!
Quite a unique game, it definitely has some flaws, and it was a bit slow at times, but I really appreciated the creativity on display here. Very impressive for a solo dev, good job !
One of these days, we're gonna get a horror game where the player finds tools and keeps them for multiple obstacles throughout the game, like a Metroidvania style horror. Gonna break the internet when it happens.
Yeah, overall, a decent experience. But lots of dead (pun intended) time trying to figure out what to do next. Also, I think the ending was a bit of a let-down. But for the work of a single dev, kudos to them.
the work behind this game was impressive, from the detail, interactivity, and jumping through the paintings, the story the horror, i mean great job Devs.!! was there really a threat on the stairwell??? hmmm or did the game do a great job in making you think there was?? I'm curious....
There really was a threat on the stairwell, just like when the guy chased him in the flat later on with the kitchen light being the only light on. Chris is just too good at gaming to get caught out so easily and he realized that he needed to latch the door.
I suppose you had some impact in the editing process but I felt as though this game was well-paced and REALLY imaginative. I prefer puzzle/survival horror games, but if I could only have one, I'd choose puzzle horror. I didn't feel like any of the jump scares were repetitive or cheap. They were paced well and all of them made me jump at least a little. I thought the puzzles were pretty good. I like vagueness in puzzles. My only criticism would be to get rid of the kerosene and matches refills. It just feels like unnecessary fluff in a game that is mostly about story, atmosphere, and puzzles. Great game. Thanks for playing, and thanks to the dev for such great work.
Now the question is: Why did you keep the lantern on all the time while in a building with working lights? 🤣 EDIT: This is an absolutely beautiful game. I really liked it.
👍👍👍👍👍FIVE thumbs up. Great game. I found fault with nothing. A lot of what Chris encountered is found in Hidden Object Adventure games but beautifully morphed into a truly wonderful experience. Hats off to the dev and thank you!
1:20:45 i feel like knowing the symbols and their meaning may give more insight as to what’s going on. That paper said what they’re for…. May make more sense to compare
0:26 cracked me up, sure you didn't mean it this way but sounded like you were hoping we'd enjoy watching something strange happen to you 🤣 Just came from watching Slot Waste think 'strange' already happened.
This game kinda felt more just like a puzzle game w light horror elements. The thing is that it kinda went from 0-60 between when it wasn’t scary until it was… I feel like the game could be a much better horror experience if it worked out building tension in the atmosphere… not going from complete silence…. To terrifying atmosphere for about 2 minutes for a jump scare and then down to 0 all over again until there’s gonna be a jump scare again. It does that scary atmosphere so beautifully that it’s unfortunate it doesn’t carry that more through the puzzle sections… even just with music… to feel that anxiety and anticipation… I think it would make this great game… incredible.
Solo Dev?... Man the amount of discipline needed to complete a project this size, that seems to have very few bugs, is mind boggling.
I know I'm late, but just in case anyone else's curious too, the text at 31:54 says 'Trip to Romania, year 1957'
35:30 "Kolya and Sashka, year 1956" (common short versions of the names Nikolay and Alexander, respectively)
36:12: "Me after the exhibition, year 1953"
A Rick Roll? Really? :D Nice.
Also, I love when devs take the time and effort to add so much detail into their game. It helps with the immersion imo.
Brilliant game!!! Thank you for playing, CJU 👏
As long as they're done well , I would love to see more "antiques shop" / museum related or even just antiques related horror games....
“If you’d like to renovate your origins…”, why definitely I would love to!
Reminds me of the Library SCP.
17:57 When you turn around and climb back down the ladder someone’s arm tucks back in behind a cabinet or something on the left.
How is cju not a much much bigger channel, chris is awesome.
He's the best 😊

I love watching his videos. Can't stomach the other "viral" youtubers. They're fckin annoying and fake.

He is my goto for horror games. He’s always funny and entertaining.
The CJU Easter Egg in this game was amazing lol!
Yes! I was hoping he'd play this game to find that, id seen one other person play it and even he was excited for Chris.
Time stamp?
@@ChampOlight 16:48 lol he literally shows it and talks about it 😊

26:50 even the ghost impressive with cju channel and reaction
31:57 - “A trip to Lublino (a countryside area)”
Each time you hear “blya” and “btyat’” - mentally translate this to “fuck”
You're wrong. I don't know where you got your line but it literally says "Trip to Romania" with the year

Hi cju thank you for playing 😊
An incredible game, especially for having been made by one person! What a chilling ending!!
I'd have to go back and check individual screens, but the photos seem to have names and years.
I would love to know if they have multiple endings like he was told he would go home if he did what he ended up doing. Maybe they are making it so his grilfriend or wife has to save him in a sequel to this.

16:18 😂😂😂😂 Good one Devs! 👍🏼 👍🏼
There is said to be another ending, a good ending. Definitely a wild game, enjoyed watching you play through it. ^_^
Honestly love seeing something so fresh and well made.
I reckon this game was made because all the previous pooping made the renovations necessary!

I love that you can interact with the objects that start moving and stop them 😂 I would do that too
unfortunately Chris got the bad ending. He could get the good ending if he faced right from the mirror and broke the planet instead
i wonder if they make one that his wife is trying to save him would love to watch it if they do
