i genuinely enjoyed marks way of playing, it's weirdly comforting to hear him say numbers and angles like you're safely sailing with a captain who knows his shit
Same man, if I would have played it I’d probably shit in my pants. But with Markiplier saying all these coordinates to “Houston” is actually comforting in a way.
Fun fact: the game's creator, David Szymanski, has confirmed that even though you can't see directly outside the sub, the entire map is a fully modeled 3D environment that you are actually moving through, which is why you can get different angles for the pictures. There are even some weird secrets hidden throughout the map for those industrious enough to explore!
There’s an interesting video of someone going “outside of the game” to review the entire physical map. The sub itself never moves when you play, but the camera does. You just control the camera, and move over certain audio and animation cues. It’s pretty neat. Very simple, but makes it work.

This is a perfect game to showcase why sound design is so important. Also, how has UA-cam not figured out that every game that isn't a AAA/well known title does not equal FNAF?
I haven’t seen anyone talk about this, but I’ve been thinking about how absolutely nauseating the smell would become when the Iron Lung starts filling with blood. That’s simply a horrific thought to me, yet I love it. Cannot wait for the movie.
Imagine overseeing this mission and getting the report: "We've reached roughly five-forty, I am turning due North to see what the hell was just blink-blonking on my ass over there"
There is something so truly satisfying about just listening to Mark narrate and make an imaginary log while seeing him do nothing but go fowards, backwards and change the angle. I was legit entirely entranced for the entire video
this shit is actually really well made and terrifying. the name of the ship being iron lung and then the idea of being alone in the bottom of the ocean with so much out to get you but never being able to tell if it's gonna get you was amazing. such a great atmosphere
This game is more about the atmosphere and dread that it presents than the actual gameplay of moving around the ship. Not every game needs to be super in-your-face all the time in order to connect with the player.
As a French Horn player myself, I can in fact confirm that we typically spend most of our practice time in blood ocean. They have the best acoustics for our specific instrument.
40:20 Mark : "Houston, can I get some music ?" Lixian : _(Begins playing The Last Goodbye)_ Ship : _(Gets Severely Damaged and Floods)_ _Houston definitely knew what they were doing_
Meaning that these things are either a universal constant somehow or they’re the result of some unknown cosmic process: the debris left behind when a star blinks out. A wound in open space, capped by a bloody scab of an ocean.
Jacksepticeye: Panicking on the get go, gunning towards wall with absolutely no idea Markiplier: Navigate the hell out of the blood, ignore the monstrosity outside and then get scared by oxygen decrease alarm Me: Equally entertaining
@@LucidWeedy Absolutely. Despite the horrifying situation, as long as you have a task to distract yourself with its bearable, but when the one constant, the one thing you have control is taken from you it throws you back into the scene. When the reigns are taken from your hands you are no longer a player, you are the man in the submarine.
@@keegentilley578 Agreed. Reviewing the Apollo 13 crew conversations after the explosion, is a good example, they were so focused on their mission, and professional, they didn't have time to get afraid, just focused on getting everything followed, they were even chill over the radio with Houston despite everything.
In all reality, Markiplier's joke about the resources in blood is on point. Trace amounts of iron... a high percentage of derivable water... organic materials that could be made into food... for a dying civilization, an entire ocean of blood is a priceless resource in its own right.
It's clearly and execution tho they don't want you to come back and are exploring the depth of the blood ocean of they can possibly find something other than edibility of the blood sea .. blood sea can be turned to lots of stuff including water and iron tho? Is the ship cable of doing it .. anyway as written in the paper they usinyas lab rat for whatever reason..and the resources seems to be an excuse to cover it .. since the ship isn't made to withhold this depth and not with enough oxygen
go ahead and “🤓” me parasites are easily eradicated with the right tools, seeing as this game may take place in the future tells me the remaining survivors most likely have said tools at hand or can easily create said tools. centrifuges are also a thing apologies if i seem rude in any way
21:58 is so perfect in horror. You've been alone, just piloting a sub for like 20 minutes. Give or take. They've been hammering in just how alone you are the entire time during that. And then they punch you straight in the gut with another lifeform. It doesn't jump out at you in the picture, it just confirms it's own existence to you and now you know you're not alone. Which is arguably worse than the proposed solitude since the beginning.
I never thought about it but that is so perfect. You think He'll is when you're alone, but true hell is when you're alone with something else. Dude, thank you, you gave me something to think about. Can't wait to have an existential crisis later! :3
And upon being made aware of the fact you're not alone, you can never go back no matter how hard you wish for the bittersweet embrace of solitude once more. You just have to know for the rest of the experience that there's something else out there and that is a truly dreadful feeling. Such a simple yet brilliant psychologic horror technique.
Mark: "Is that the song of the blood ocean siren?" Me: No. It's the Gongoozler. *Edit* One can hope for such a reference in a certain movie that is now being made...
The film now needs to open with "Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier and I'm very tired. I'm gonna go into the ocean and I am going to.......FFffuuuuck."
My favorite theory about this game is the theory that it wasn’t the planets that vanished, but the people who “survived” the quiet rapture being transported to an alternate dimension (kinda like other space if you’re well versed in Star Wars lore), where things were mostly the same, but… off (planets not being there, and there being normally impossible things like Blood Ocean. Think about it, from their perspective, it would seem like everything ELSE disappeared instead of them, so the lore of this game may be a result of a horrible mass-FTL travel failure Edit: I’ve seen people mention Ghost-Light from stars. There could be 2 explanations for this: 1: the alternate dimension could have had stars that have just went super-nova, and the left over light is the by product, OR: they are not in an alternate dimension, and the quiet rapture never actually happened: the FTL failure could have been time-dilation based, where the stations that survived just so happened to end up at the same time, after Entropy consumed most of the Universe
Problem is the Ghost-Lights of Stars. And, how is there any amount of blood enough to create a planetwide ocean? If a genocide occured suddenly in a paranormal manner, transferring it to a random world to dump on, ofcourse it'd have an ocean of blood.
It makes sense because if it were the same dimension then surely they'd have already discovered and explored blood oceans. The fact that they just appeared out of nowhere says a lot that they're definitely not in the same dimension.
That's a pretty cool theory lmao. My own was that some form of actual mythological rapture happened (only because of the critter and the very modern looking building underwater- if it wasnt ruins). Scientifically, I prefer yours! But morbidly, I also hope it's some Leviathan and Hell on Earth style lore.
I was thinking the same thing. It could be they were transported to hell because the only people are morally questionable at best. The player, a convicted criminal, and people depraved enough to weld someone in a shoddy metal box to hopefully bring back some pictures.
Under the sea with markiplier would be amazing. A horror style, last few alive in a submarine/underwater base would be awesome. Like this game or the parts of SOMA
@@sunnywunny"Alright guys just got from In space so we are going to be taking a break and playing some horror games today". (12 seconds later) "This is the greatest thing I've ever played and I want to make a movie about it".
I love how around the 29 minute when Mark hears that bang sound you can see the coordinates jumping like he got through a portal and was teleported. The confusion after that was pure gold.
Yeah, this was an awesome balance, with a task rendered spooky by sensory deprivation and playing on many fears. Claustrophobia is one that the people listing phobias don't seem to think of so much, but is absolutely in play.
Despite this being a horror game, there is something oddly soothing about Mark rattling off coodinates and angles, even with the noises of something moving through the blood water outside.
Alright, I've gotta say, Mark dictating his actions in a collected and professional manner might just be the best thing ever. It's like he actually knows what he's doing!
I'm so impressed! He IMMEDIATELY found his position on the map and oriented himself, remained calm while his proximity sensors were going off because he knew that at the angle he was passing, he wasn't close to hitting anything... It's the first UA-camr I've seen so quickly and confidently grasp the submarine's mechanics.
@@Halucygeno probably has a lot to do with his engineering background and love of space. learning to orient yourself spatially is not only a HUGE part of math but especially in space too
I had to triple check 29:00 several times to make sure my sleep deprived self wasn't fucking with me when I noticed Mark's coordinates just change for no reason. It has to be one of the most effective horror tricks I've ever seen; it takes what should be one of your most reliable tools, your position, and tells you that even THAT is unreliable.
I think it leaves a lot open for creative liberty. There’s definitely a lot of cool ideas that could be more explored. Mark has the ability to essentially do whatever he wants with it, which is why I think he chose it for a project
Exactly one hour after Mark released the Iron Lung trailer, this video has 5.7 million views. Let's see how many of us are rewatching this now :D EDIT: Mark just dropped the "CHEAT UPDATE" video 30 minutes ago; now this main video is at 9,843,000 views. Let's see how it changes!
You know, it would be so cool if marks Iron lung movie was not actually this character, but a completely different character in one of the other three blood oceans and the letter left behind was just something the people who put him in the sub left in every iron lung to tell the convicts you were going to die no matter what, that'd be a really cool concept honestly
This game is stuning. It has such a crushing atmosphere and the limiations of the view only enhance the whole experience. seriously, I'm so glad Mark played this master piece or I never would have seen it. He really was the perfect pilot too, this has to be one of his best videos ever.
Dave Szymanski’s a great dev, made an awesome boomer shooter named Dusk and horror games like this and Squirrel Stapler. Also a main contributor to the Dread X collection.
40:41 the worst part about the eyeball looking at you is that it can’t even see you. Whatever that eye is attached to is intelligent enough that it still know you’re in there and you can see IT through the freaking camera on the sub. IT KNOWS YOU’RE IN THERE. It knows you can see it.
I think it’s more like the monster can see the sub, recognizes that it’s a strange new object, and is investigating it like any curious apex predator would. No way it would know about the player inside or how the cameras work. It just got irritated by the flash. That FISH THING at the end tho. It deliberately broke into the sun to get at the pilot. And it’s the same fish that was spotted earlier by the bones. Meaning it stalked the sub for quite a while before attacking. That’s what concerns me.
@@MsScarletwings i understand the thought process here but it "deliberately breaking into the sub" could just be it trying to get at the organs, as most predators do
I have a feeling the fish thing is intelligent: it's staring dead straight into the camera, it knows we can see it through the camera. Before then it was kind of cold-turkey we knew it was there but we hadn't seen it, then right before it kills us, it lets us know its presence explicitly. It also seems aware of when the picture was taken.
Tbh maybe its just a curious fish that's interested in the sub, but the flashes from the camera aggravates it, since we knoe the whole time its stalking the sub but it only attacks us when we took the picture of it
I definitely think there's multiple entities in the ocean, not just the anglerfish-like thing, and at least one of them is intelligent. For one thing, the presence of the skeletal remains indicates that, at some point at least, multiple creatures did indeed exist in the ocean, so it's not a huge stretch to say there may be others still alive. And there's the thing with the eyes, as Cozymotion said: the eyes of the fish and the eye in the photo were different, and it might just be me but the photo eye looked more reptilian than fish, based on the way the skin around the eye looks, but that's just me. As for why I think it's intelligent - While it's constant following of us could be put down to simply predatory behaviour, stalking the prey and all that, there's other things that suggest not so much. The seeing awareness of the photographs is one thing, but there's also the fact that it moves the sub. That could just be it investigating like some oceanic predators do, but considering it seems to only happen at certain intervals, namely when the player gets close to certain landmarks like the star, it feels more...deliberate.
Crazy to think Mark just finished In Space, his biggest project ever at that point. Then he sat down to lay an indie game without realizing it was going to be a literal theatre production level project. This man doesn't really do down-time, I feel like. Genuinely do worry he may burn out. I hope not, though.
I love how this game is genuinely terrifyingly dreadful, but never uses any crazy jumpscares to create that. The only jumpscare is all the way at the end of the game to finally release all the pent-up anxiety.
Exactly, Szymanski really know how to create good horror moods with just Atmosphere even if there isn't supposed to be a horror game exactly. Just look at his other games like Squirrel Stapler or DUSK
Jumpscare at the end wasn't needed tbh, a true horror game would have taken it deeper and darker into a sad and horrifying death. Ending on a jumpscare is just disappointing.
@@Dorraj im fairly sure whatever fate befell the player character at the jaws of that creature(if thats what that was?) was a plenty horrifying death. it /is/ an ocean, where aquatic predators are known to exist, so a sudden attack like that kinda makes sense
@@Dorraj To be fair... How would you make a sad death out of a monster like this? We're already told we're on a suicide mission from the note on the floor so there's no plot twist for us to discover as it's already laid out for us. I feel like to make a different ending the game would have to be changed a significant amount. So I think with the game we have it's a fine ending. Like the original comment says, it's a great way to release all of that built up tension and anxiety. So instead of a game with a bunch of less meaningful Jumpscares, we have a very impactful Jumpscare at the very end to cap everything off.
11:26 I like Mark's notion that the height of a tombstone is determined on the height of the person being buried, as though taller people would somehow require more vertical space for their grave in spite of being buried horizontally... underground.
While walking through a cemetary in France, I trip over a rock in my path. I curse at myself, brushing the dirt off my pants, wondering what rock could've tripped me on my little, peaceful stroll. I look down, and I see what tripped me, a very short gravestone. My face goes to sorrow as I silently apologize for the disrespect before looking at the name on the small grave. What reads filled me with a short laughter. "Here lies Napoleon Bonaparte 1769 - 1821"
Imagine if there was an actual Mission Control listening. This entire conversation would be a “wait, wtf? What’s not possible? What are you pretending not to hear? Wtf is happening down there?”
It'd be the most stressful listening in. Lol. They can't call in but can hear. I didn't hear that. Nope. Nothing there. What's not there?! Just some flooding. Ignore it. FLOODING?! It's on fire. Never mind....... Fire?! Fire?! Oh dear. That broke. Never mind. What broke?!?!?! Nothing behind me. Nope. O_O WTF!
@@toastytoast9800 in the update SM-13 "Iron Lung" wasn't meant for execution but to gather intel in AT (The current moon) and found wreckage of SM-8 i think ?

@@markusharroldhailey6688 no, you pilot the iron lung(sm-8) which was sent after sm-13 and would discover the wreckage of sm-13. the player is likely a pow from another colony . i recommend pyrocynical's video for this game
I love how he just 100% goes full astronaut/ship captain without even saying that that’s what’s going to happen-He just naturally drops into it. He was so confident I almost was like “Woah! Maybe Markiplier has some actual nautical experience” until he said “East-East-South” instead of “East Southeast” Then I was immediately like “oh yeah, Mark’s just 100% confident, even when he’s totally bullsh*tting” 😂 To be fair, it’s essential to what makes him hilarious. Edit: Then he was the only person to actually notice the coordinates changing and the teleporting that I’ve seen, so now I’m back to being convinced he is actually secretly a pirate astronaut.
Because suddenly finding yourself at a completely different area than you thought you were is very alarming and possibly means that your navigation tools and radar/location pinpoint device are broken
I think I figured out why the creature only attacks at the end. Up till then, it had simply been observing you. And then, while it sat right in front of you, you take a picture of its eye...with a flash camera. It thinks you attacked it, so it attacks back.
@@skylarskittlez7809 I'm pretty sure it is a scripted death. Right as you get to the coordinates to take a picture of your last objective, the monster busts in before you can hit the button
The idea of every habitable planet vanishing is pretty scary. The mysteries of the blood oceans are just as scary aswell, how were the formed? Why are there creatures there? Such a good game
It's even better: Those moons are still orbiting planets that aren't there, and reflecting light from stars that also aren't there. How does _that_ work?
also the fact that you wont see celestial bodies disappear until howerever many light years it is away. so at first im sure they thought it was only local. then in a year they see everything 1 lightyear away vanish. etc. hence calling the sky full of stars an "illusion"
@@TheRogueWolf I don’t think the moons are orbiting anything, but the light from dead stars is still around since some of it hasn’t hit enough physical matter to be absorbed as energy; that concept makes sense.
I love that the “THE LAST GOODBYEEEEE” part synced up with Mark looking at the photo of the eye and the noise the creature made it seem like it was singing along too lmao
This game really is fascinating. It entierly takes place in a tiny space, theres no other characters besides radio guy, theres no clear view of the world you are on, and theres tons of mystery around the idea of the Quiet Rapture and blood oceans even after the game ends, and its still so facinating. AND the best part is its unique. Its not a play on a story or IP that already exists, its not using typical gameplay mechanics people are used to, its entirely doing something new and something youve never seen before and i love people that can do that successfully cause it feels so rare these days
This feels like the one game he’s naturally really good at. The rest of the games he’s good because he played but this is just talent. I have no idea what is going on
Hearing him speaking out loud of him processing the information and calling out what he was doing as if he was relaying information for a recording or transmission of some kind
I love the idea of a diver just ranting at a broken or even absent radio. They're surrounded by a sea of blood and horrors from the deep, and the only way for them to stay calm is to pretend there's someone on the surface holding their hand the whole way.
This game has such a simple atmosphere, but it’s so effective. The setting of a literal BLOOD OCEAN is awesome, especially with the things you encounter along the way. I love the routine of snapping pictures, it gets me so anxious thinking about what I’m going to see next. The sound design and ambiance whatever is so terrifying, very very cool game.
Yeah i love the atmosphere this game combined with an interesting lore and as someone who has thalassaphobia and claustrophobia it really sends a shiver down my spine
Yea and ngl, the whole "saving progress" thing I feel isn't just in case the player runs into a wall and dies, but also puts them on edge. Most horror games do, where ALMOST nothing really can kill you, it just does that to put the player in a state of slight panic as to keep them on their toes lol
It’s crazy that Markiplier is now making a movie about this game. I wish I was the developers of this, imagine starting work and seeing an email from freaking Mark I Plier. “Hey, I loved your game. You wanna make a movie?”
Honestly I’m just insanely impressed how easy the navigating was for Mark to pick up. I feel like if I started this game without watching anyone else I would be immediately overwhelmed by what navigating without seeing truly meant. This makes me feel like Mark is a super computer.
Finding a flooded building in the bottom of the blood ocean of an alien moon has the same energy as finding a broken bicycle in a dimension filled with potatoes.

About the blood oceans
Once is an event
Twice is a coincidence
A third time is a pattern
A fourth time is a widespread occurrence
@@Queenofdragons6 I mean the game called this the 4th blood ocean
Meaning that these things are either a universal constant somehow or they’re the result of some unknown cosmic process: the debris left behind when a star blinks out. A wound in open space, capped by a bloody scab of an ocean.
Could you explain this? I've searched this up and it only shows up till third (pattern), but never the fourth (widespread occurrence).

Seeing Mark read the note here, and then hearing the VO of that note in the Iron Lung trailer, is HAUNTING. That movie is shaping up to be SO GOOD!
gonna see that thing opening day. whenever that is. it'll be a movie worth watching
Anything and everything Mark gets his hands on is amazing.
In all reality, Markiplier's joke about the resources in blood is on point. Trace amounts of iron... a high percentage of derivable water... organic materials that could be made into food... for a dying civilization, an entire ocean of blood is a priceless resource in its own right.
It's clearly and execution tho they don't want you to come back and are exploring the depth of the blood ocean of they can possibly find something other than edibility of the blood sea .. blood sea can be turned to lots of stuff including water and iron tho? Is the ship cable of doing it .. anyway as written in the paper they usinyas lab rat for whatever reason..and the resources seems to be an excuse to cover it .. since the ship isn't made to withhold this depth and not with enough oxygen
Not to mention the swaths of festering parasites
stem cells too depending on what kind of blood it is. (aka menstrual blood).
go ahead and “🤓” me
parasites are easily eradicated with the right tools, seeing as this game may take place in the future tells me the remaining survivors most likely have said tools at hand or can easily create said tools. centrifuges are also a thing
apologies if i seem rude in any way
@@realfridgeyou do realize this is a dying civilization it’s says theirs only a couple spaceships and space stations left.
21:58 is so perfect in horror. You've been alone, just piloting a sub for like 20 minutes. Give or take. They've been hammering in just how alone you are the entire time during that. And then they punch you straight in the gut with another lifeform. It doesn't jump out at you in the picture, it just confirms it's own existence to you and now you know you're not alone. Which is arguably worse than the proposed solitude since the beginning.
I never thought about it but that is so perfect. You think He'll is when you're alone, but true hell is when you're alone with something else. Dude, thank you, you gave me something to think about. Can't wait to have an existential crisis later! :3
it’s a 45 minute long Scary Maze Game
and i say that as a compliment
And upon being made aware of the fact you're not alone, you can never go back no matter how hard you wish for the bittersweet embrace of solitude once more. You just have to know for the rest of the experience that there's something else out there and that is a truly dreadful feeling. Such a simple yet brilliant psychologic horror technique.

The film now needs to open with "Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier and I'm very tired. I'm gonna go into the ocean and I am going to.......FFffuuuuck."
that’d better be a genius idea!
I would love that! 😂
My favorite theory about this game is the theory that it wasn’t the planets that vanished, but the people who “survived” the quiet rapture being transported to an alternate dimension (kinda like other space if you’re well versed in Star Wars lore), where things were mostly the same, but… off (planets not being there, and there being normally impossible things like Blood Ocean.
Think about it, from their perspective, it would seem like everything ELSE disappeared instead of them, so the lore of this game may be a result of a horrible mass-FTL travel failure
Edit: I’ve seen people mention Ghost-Light from stars. There could be 2 explanations for this: 1: the alternate dimension could have had stars that have just went super-nova, and the left over light is the by product, OR: they are not in an alternate dimension, and the quiet rapture never actually happened: the FTL failure could have been time-dilation based, where the stations that survived just so happened to end up at the same time, after Entropy consumed most of the Universe
i never considered that, seems a lot more plausible
Problem is the Ghost-Lights of Stars.
And, how is there any amount of blood enough to create a planetwide ocean? If a genocide occured suddenly in a paranormal manner, transferring it to a random world to dump on, ofcourse it'd have an ocean of blood.
It makes sense because if it were the same dimension then surely they'd have already discovered and explored blood oceans. The fact that they just appeared out of nowhere says a lot that they're definitely not in the same dimension.
That's a pretty cool theory lmao.
My own was that some form of actual mythological rapture happened (only because of the critter and the very modern looking building underwater- if it wasnt ruins).
Scientifically, I prefer yours! But morbidly, I also hope it's some Leviathan and Hell on Earth style lore.
I was thinking the same thing. It could be they were transported to hell because the only people are morally questionable at best. The player, a convicted criminal, and people depraved enough to weld someone in a shoddy metal box to hopefully bring back some pictures.
I like that when mark finds the creature, his immediate reaction was to create the most intimidating gorilla noise he could.

40:41 the worst part about the eyeball looking at you is that it can’t even see you. Whatever that eye is attached to is intelligent enough that it still know you’re in there and you can see IT through the freaking camera on the sub. IT KNOWS YOU’RE IN THERE. It knows you can see it.
I think it’s more like the monster can see the sub, recognizes that it’s a strange new object, and is investigating it like any curious apex predator would. No way it would know about the player inside or how the cameras work. It just got irritated by the flash.
That FISH THING at the end tho. It deliberately broke into the sun to get at the pilot. And it’s the same fish that was spotted earlier by the bones. Meaning it stalked the sub for quite a while before attacking. That’s what concerns me.
Naw, ever seen a video where a wild animal looks curiously at a camera? It was basically that
@@MsScarletwings i understand the thought process here but it "deliberately breaking into the sub" could just be it trying to get at the organs, as most predators do
But what’s living in it now is less important to what used to live in there the windows look like a part of a house
idk why but ur comment gave me deja vu i feel like ive read this is and seen this before but it never happened and ik it didnt 😭😭
I have a feeling the fish thing is intelligent: it's staring dead straight into the camera, it knows we can see it through the camera. Before then it was kind of cold-turkey we knew it was there but we hadn't seen it, then right before it kills us, it lets us know its presence explicitly. It also seems aware of when the picture was taken.
or maybe the picture in the camera wasnt the fish thing
@@trioxidetheidiot86 true, the eyes are different. Could be multiple fish
Tbh maybe its just a curious fish that's interested in the sub, but the flashes from the camera aggravates it, since we knoe the whole time its stalking the sub but it only attacks us when we took the picture of it
What do you fucking think when the camera flashes a light directly into its eye my man
I definitely think there's multiple entities in the ocean, not just the anglerfish-like thing, and at least one of them is intelligent.
For one thing, the presence of the skeletal remains indicates that, at some point at least, multiple creatures did indeed exist in the ocean, so it's not a huge stretch to say there may be others still alive. And there's the thing with the eyes, as Cozymotion said: the eyes of the fish and the eye in the photo were different, and it might just be me but the photo eye looked more reptilian than fish, based on the way the skin around the eye looks, but that's just me.
As for why I think it's intelligent - While it's constant following of us could be put down to simply predatory behaviour, stalking the prey and all that, there's other things that suggest not so much. The seeing awareness of the photographs is one thing, but there's also the fact that it moves the sub. That could just be it investigating like some oceanic predators do, but considering it seems to only happen at certain intervals, namely when the player gets close to certain landmarks like the star, it feels more...deliberate.
Crazy to think Mark just finished In Space, his biggest project ever at that point. Then he sat down to lay an indie game without realizing it was going to be a literal theatre production level project. This man doesn't really do down-time, I feel like. Genuinely do worry he may burn out. I hope not, though.
I love how this game is genuinely terrifyingly dreadful, but never uses any crazy jumpscares to create that. The only jumpscare is all the way at the end of the game to finally release all the pent-up anxiety.
Exactly, Szymanski really know how to create good horror moods with just Atmosphere even if there isn't supposed to be a horror game exactly. Just look at his other games like Squirrel Stapler or DUSK
Jumpscare at the end wasn't needed tbh, a true horror game would have taken it deeper and darker into a sad and horrifying death. Ending on a jumpscare is just disappointing.
@@Dorraj im fairly sure whatever fate befell the player character at the jaws of that creature(if thats what that was?) was a plenty horrifying death. it /is/ an ocean, where aquatic predators are known to exist, so a sudden attack like that kinda makes sense
@@gren4586 not as horrifying as the rest of the game. A quick death and "the end" is literally nothing compared to it.
@@Dorraj To be fair... How would you make a sad death out of a monster like this? We're already told we're on a suicide mission from the note on the floor so there's no plot twist for us to discover as it's already laid out for us. I feel like to make a different ending the game would have to be changed a significant amount. So I think with the game we have it's a fine ending. Like the original comment says, it's a great way to release all of that built up tension and anxiety. So instead of a game with a bunch of less meaningful Jumpscares, we have a very impactful Jumpscare at the very end to cap everything off.

Maybe Markiplier has some actual nautical experience” until he said “East-East-South” instead of “East Southeast” Then I was immediately like “oh yeah, Mark’s just 100% confident, even when he’s totally bullsh*tting” 😂 To be fair, it’s essential to what makes him hilarious.
Edit: Then he was the only person to actually notice the coordinates changing and the teleporting that I’ve seen, so now I’m back to being convinced he is actually secretly a pirate astronaut.
You also have to take into account the fact that he's tired... but even then, his steering was phenomenal
Mark’s not alone with the coordinate change. James(theGamingBeaver) also noticed he got teleported when he got contact with the north western portal
didn't jack notice? at least i know power pak did
East-East-South sounds better imo
ManlyBadassHero also noticed the coordinate change.
As an ex-navigator, how many times Mark said, "I don't know how that happened, but I'm happy about it." while looking at his map, frightens me.
How so?
Because suddenly finding yourself at a completely different area than you thought you were is very alarming and possibly means that your navigation tools and radar/location pinpoint device are broken
@@chmi125 Also the possibility that something literally dragged you to that place.
@@Myuutsuu85 or b u m p e d ya
tbf he was literally teleported several times...
I think I figured out why the creature only attacks at the end. Up till then, it had simply been observing you. And then, while it sat right in front of you, you take a picture of its eye...with a flash camera.
It thinks you attacked it, so it attacks back.
That sounds about right
is there any other ending? like could you not take a picture of its eye and it wouldn't attack or is it an inevitable end?
@@skylarskittlez7809 I'm pretty sure it is a scripted death. Right as you get to the coordinates to take a picture of your last objective, the monster busts in before you can hit the button
if somebody got way up in my face and used a flash camera directly into my eyeball, i'd resort to violence too
You still die if you didn’t
3:31 wow someone should make a movie with this note, it’s so cinematic.
Huhhh...
This game is terrifying, and I hope the creator makes more games like these.

The idea of every habitable planet vanishing is pretty scary. The mysteries of the blood oceans are just as scary aswell, how were the formed? Why are there creatures there? Such a good game
The man upstairs took all the planets and stuck'em in a juicer and drained all the blood out to put in a big juice bowl
@@armintor2826 genius!
It's even better: Those moons are still orbiting planets that aren't there, and reflecting light from stars that also aren't there. How does _that_ work?
also the fact that you wont see celestial bodies disappear until howerever many light years it is away. so at first im sure they thought it was only local. then in a year they see everything 1 lightyear away vanish. etc. hence calling the sky full of stars an "illusion"
@@TheRogueWolf I don’t think the moons are orbiting anything, but the light from dead stars is still around since some of it hasn’t hit enough physical matter to be absorbed as energy; that concept makes sense.
I love that the “THE LAST GOODBYEEEEE” part synced up with Mark looking at the photo of the eye and the noise the creature made it seem like it was singing along too lmao
Who wouldn't want to sing along with Mark?

This game really is fascinating. It entierly takes place in a tiny space, theres no other characters besides radio guy, theres no clear view of the world you are on, and theres tons of mystery around the idea of the Quiet Rapture and blood oceans even after the game ends, and its still so facinating. AND the best part is its unique. Its not a play on a story or IP that already exists, its not using typical gameplay mechanics people are used to, its entirely doing something new and something youve never seen before and i love people that can do that successfully cause it feels so rare these days
The most terrifying thing in this game is taking 2 pictures after each other and seeing that something has changed without you doing anything
I just hit the 22 minute mark when I saw this. Mark's reaction was flabbergasting lmao, he's used to it
dang, i’d almost pay 250K to do this.
I KNEW I WAS GONNA SEE COMMENTS LIKE THIS

I didn't know I needed forty-five minutes of Markiplier just doing navigation calculations, but this was quite lovely
yea
yea
Its almost therapeutic if you dont count the horrifying noises of the blood ocean
Can't wait to see Mark do it again in his movie
Same
This feels like the one game he’s naturally really good at. The rest of the games he’s good because he played but this is just talent. I have no idea what is going on
Mark is so task-oriented that he barely cares about the noises or scary shit in photos because he’s like “OBJECTIVE!!!”

Hearing him speaking out loud of him processing the information and calling out what he was doing as if he was relaying information for a recording or transmission of some kind
I love the idea of a diver just ranting at a broken or even absent radio. They're surrounded by a sea of blood and horrors from the deep, and the only way for them to stay calm is to pretend there's someone on the surface holding their hand the whole way.
I mean, yea. Being alone makes people go crazy, acting like there’s someone else there might help at least slightly
I know right?! It's really sad to imagine, but also strangely comforting LOL
This game has such a simple atmosphere, but it’s so effective. The setting of a literal BLOOD OCEAN is awesome, especially with the things you encounter along the way. I love the routine of snapping pictures, it gets me so anxious thinking about what I’m going to see next. The sound design and ambiance whatever is so terrifying, very very cool game.
Yeah. It's a pretty cool game. It's almost Lovecraftian in feeling.
Yeah i love the atmosphere this game combined with an interesting lore and as someone who has thalassaphobia and claustrophobia it really sends a shiver down my spine
@@koryyyRae as a felliw claustrophibic i felt like someone tied a belt around my chest
Yea and ngl, the whole "saving progress" thing I feel isn't just in case the player runs into a wall and dies, but also puts them on edge. Most horror games do, where ALMOST nothing really can kill you, it just does that to put the player in a state of slight panic as to keep them on their toes lol
"How fucking cool does a blood ocean sound? Not at all when im in it" Ironic considering he's making a movie on that exact premise
It’s crazy that Markiplier is now making a movie about this game. I wish I was the developers of this, imagine starting work and seeing an email from freaking Mark I Plier. “Hey, I loved your game. You wanna make a movie?”

Honestly I’m just insanely impressed how easy the navigating was for Mark to pick up. I feel like if I started this game without watching anyone else I would be immediately overwhelmed by what navigating without seeing truly meant. This makes me feel like Mark is a super computer.
HE COULD’VE BEEN AN ENGINEER
@@KWBR1123 he was originally going to be a biomedical engineer (if i’m not mistaken)

It is surpsingly intuitive. If you play it for yourself you'll probably struggle the first two nodes but it becomes quite natural after that!
You literally just match numbers
Finding a flooded building in the bottom of the blood ocean of an alien moon has the same energy as finding a broken bicycle in a dimension filled with potatoes.
