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.
The fact that Mark is making a movie based on this says allot, Mark's dedication to horror and is transitioning into different lanes in entertainment is immaculate.
3:25 The sheer contrast of Mark reading this as he does in this video, compared to Lauer's reading in the trailer, is HARROWING. What a time we live in.

@@joshc5613 Yeah, pretty much.

Seeing how he did all the maff and navigation and even the naval lingo so well made me wonder if Wolfpack would be a good game for him, Bob and Wade to play together.
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
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_
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 watching Iron Lung not knowing who he is, coming here to see what started it all after watching such a great movie, and being greeted with THIS intro
@@56bturn Yeah ikr. I would really like to know when he made the definitive desicion that lead to the project's fruition. Obviously, their budget is undisclosed but creating a movie with a higher budget is very demanding.
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.
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?

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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."
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
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"
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
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
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.
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 ? Another Submarine meant for expedition and piloted by scientist instead of convict, so they would really wanted those picture and the convict for questions if the iron lung werent destroyed by the "Frog"
@@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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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
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
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.
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...
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
Two things. One: sometimes I forget that Mark genuinely is smart. Two: the exact moment Mark was interrupted by that bang (28:55) is also the moment his coordinates impossibly shifted.
@halcyon ! ♡ ° based on the story abt all planets and stars disspearing at the same time, i think he was teleported, if you look carefully at 38:14 he gets teleported again, right after leaving what looks like a wormhole
My theory is, the thing that killed him at the end of the video, just teleported him to these coordinated. Would make sense because its pretty upset that he's there.
I'm sure the teleporting thing is just a quality of life feature so that the game wouldn't become too tedious when navigating, but it also doubles as pretty good lore.
My first thought was that the creature has some sort of hypnotic power which they used to move him all the way over there and that banging was just the connection being severed. But then again, I just think teleportation would be a bit of a cop out, 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
Mark being jumpscared by steam in Poppy Playtime: “DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY HORROR GAMES I’VE PLAYED? A SO CALLED “JUMPSCARE” SUCH AS THIS COULD NEVER SCARE ME, AND I AM OFFENDED THAT TOU THINK I WOULD BE” Mark being jumpscared by steam in Iron Lung: “WOO, hi. OKAY, my god”
well, this whole "horror games for kids" genre completely overuses jumpscares... here the single (or two) one really gets you because it was comperatively calm beforehand, playing with athmosphere is important
Honestly if the movie is just Mark sitting in a metal tube continually giving out his coordinates and talking to houston (which would definitely be imaginary and he's just crazy talking to himself), I'd be happy.
The concept of this game is terrifying and depressing, but at the same time really cool. Like, humanity has literally no hope for survival, but they're still doing everything in their power to try and survive. So they send this criminal down on a literal blood moon to try and find anything that might delay their extinction. Then the criminal, who also has no chance of survival, is trying to earn their freedom by completing this impossible mission, but it's pointless anyway because he's still going to die along with the rest of humanity. It's actually really sad, and yet the concept is still so interesting and unique. It's really cool.
also the lore that we get little pieces of if super super cool, like why is there a portal of energy just sat in a corner, why do we get thrown around the map and whats up with all the windows and brick walls hidden in the rubble of this planet
@@gashacybin theres even a secret objective in that trench, a place that pops in and out on radar thats not even on the map (its never counted as one, but it has high similarities with other objectives)
If you like this I recommend Soma (maybe you already know that game). That also has a desperate situation worsening through the game. Btw Mark made a let's play of it too
I know, right? Despite the unsettling circumstances in the game, it feels like an otherwise normal and calm submarine voyage. Feels like I'm part of the crew, casually sitting off to the side whilst the captain (Mark) manages the coordinates. :)
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.

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?”
The best part of this is that even though someone would be alone in this container, they’d be talking to themselves just like Mark is. Eventually they’d probably go insane or just crash on purpose
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.

Almost an hour of video, and I just happen to read this the SECOND he says it. 😮
Mark is full of hard lines
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_
What is the last goodbye? When I look it up I get a song from The Hobbit but idk if that’s the right one
@@squidumspainting The Last Goodbye is a song for In Space with Markiplier PART 2.
@@World.of.Cryptoo ok, i won’t
@@squidumspainting go watch his in space with markiplier! Theres 1-7 hours of content depending if you go thru all the routes

I read the start of the comment right as I got to the point in the video and was like whaaaa..the timing.
This game has two horrors: 1. the horrifying sounds 2. Trigonometry
Oh gosh not trigonometry not again
My deepest fears combined
bro i was so in awe at how mark could easily navigate the map 😭 like as soon as i even tried to make sense of wtf he was doing my brain hurt
@@WAKUSEl Honestly same bro
@@WAKUSEl tbh trigonometry is not that hard to understand but you don't really need to understand it if you're not planning to become some genius
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.
do you think the blood is warm?
@@jimena4983That is a very good question and I kinda hate it. Definitely going to theorize on that one.
@@jimena4983oml i can not sleep anymore
Doubt the blood would be warm as most the nearby stars were dying
@@strav8337all stars and planets had already vanished completely
Imagine watching Iron Lung not knowing who he is, coming here to see what started it all after watching such a great movie, and being greeted with THIS intro
I came back to rewatch this ... that intro still doesn't disappoint.
It's still fascinating that this relatively innocuous video is what birthed a film project.
@@56bturn Yeah ikr. I would really like to know when he made the definitive desicion that lead to the project's fruition. Obviously, their budget is undisclosed but creating a movie with a higher budget is very demanding.
Markiplier: Changes the angle and degrees of the ship.
Also Mark: “This game truly is the most entertaining thing I have ever done.”
It is one of those games that kinda makes you feel smart lol. Weirdly entertaining.
@@connorp3618 those trigonometry lessons finally paid off...
@@connorp3618 this is not the game for pepole that are shit at maths like me
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.
Anything can be fun if you’re tired enough
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?

29:25 Mark isn't crazy, the game actually teleported him over 3 sectors away after that sound happened. Totally get his bewilderment from it.
Yes, you can see the coordinates change when he leaves to take a picture.
It happens twice, both times the sub gets hit by something or shakes, some people theorize their is a locational anomaly down there
@@spookytimescaryvideos4395 the unknown beast could have dragged him there.
From the sound just a bit before, I thought the creature had shoved the submarine
@@merryhee6947 that's also what people have said, maybe swatted forward in the water
I like that when mark finds the creature, his immediate reaction was to create the most intimidating gorilla noise he could.

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.
Noted
Trombonist here, I occasionally join my French Horn brethren in the blood ocean
Thats Fuckin metal, dude
Lies. I have my own private blood ocean and the acoustics sucks.
Is that why I've been struggling to learn quickly? perhaps I will find a blood ocean to visit soon.
Hearing Mark say 29:20
"That's not possible."
Genuinely gave me chills.
I can just imagine Houston
"MARK WHATS NOT POSSIBLE?!"
I didn't notice at first the coords jump like -150x and +100y when his ship gets hit
Yess absolutely my favorite part
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
Honestly, the best part is watching Mark show dread and confusion at the changing coordinates because of how focused he is on navigating.
@@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.
@@LucidWeedy that is true it was very calming fr some reason
@@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.
@@Mathadar "Houston we had a problem" springs to my mind
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.
So it's a submarine in an ocean of blood...
Does that make it... A blood vessel?
No
Yes
Maybe
Satisfactory
Mayhaps
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.
5:38 "Might be the souls of the damned at the bottom, but what do I know? I'm one of them."
Unironically a metal quote.
real
An iron quote, even
I could see that in a Chat Pile song. :3
i hope they end up putting it in the movie
Ooh someone hit up Corey Taylor. We have a song to make people!
Mark: "That's not possible"
Also Mark: *Flies through wormholes*
Goddamn it
He can't stop jumping into that warp core, huh?
Captain! Mark got us stuck in a wormhole!!
No, Its necessary.
No i didn-oh maybe i did
Pop er in reverse
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
Well fucking said
Yeah
I mean his right about markplier
ikr, he sounds so professional about it, watching it in fullscreen makes it better
You gotta thank the game that he's immersed as fuck in this role of swimming in a metal tube and taking pictures
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.
YESSS!!! I want to see if anyone else saw that
28:58 was when mark is in the 700 X
29:03 was when he hopped to 577 X
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
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.
It made it so much easier to watch without anxiety considering the fact that this is a horror game 💀
wow I even forgot this was meant to be a horror game.
I was actually started crying during one part.

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! 😂
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.
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.

I was thinking that! Loving it.
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...

This is a great example of a well-done indie horror game. Perfect amount of suspense vs scares. Mark did really well navigating this too.
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.

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).
@@northout6744 The game itself says it happened after a rapture
You've got a point. Oceans of literal BLOOD start are found on moons shortly after the vanishing of every habitable planet...?
coming here from the latest trailer. love to see how the comments are now split between the movie, the gameplay and oceangate
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.
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?

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.
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.
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

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.

These controls were pretty complicated 😳 and he still managed to last longer than those dumb billionares
@ZaHandleGod when the Iron Lung lasts longer you effed up
Using a game controller is not uncommon. Even the military use it. The only difference is they don’t use wireless ones.
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

one of the last episodes of unus annus had mark swimming in the ocean. he did not seem to be happy about being in the big blue
He teased that as an April fools joke but I feel like it might be the next Markiplier “choose your own adventure” thing
I concurr
@@FandomTOBY ah memento Mori friend
I can't believe Markiplier liked this game so much that he decided to make a movie about it
Fr, out of all the games to turn into a movie I never expected this.
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
It's only even been 11 months. o.0
@@isaiah6912 it’s just a perfect concept for a movie
Bro that’s cool
1:22 the Iron Lung movie is just Mark with a crazy straw slurpin on blood for an hour and a half
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)
@@8luecat That’s cool as hell, though I can see why he became a youtuber
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
"I am scared and horny."
It would be so fucking funny if this quote was in the movie. It's probably not, but could you imagine
Lmfao I'd love if they incorporated that in the protagonists descent into madness
Ikr imagine in a horror movie someone said “I am scared and horny” at like one of the scariest scenes
MARK. THIS COMMENT RIGHT HEREEE ^^^^
Time stamp?
Iconic.
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
"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
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.
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.
Two things. One: sometimes I forget that Mark genuinely is smart. Two: the exact moment Mark was interrupted by that bang (28:55) is also the moment his coordinates impossibly shifted.
@halcyon ! ♡ ° based on the story abt all planets and stars disspearing at the same time, i think he was teleported, if you look carefully at 38:14 he gets teleported again, right after leaving what looks like a wormhole
My theory is, the thing that killed him at the end of the video, just teleported him to these coordinated. Would make sense because its pretty upset that he's there.
I'm sure the teleporting thing is just a quality of life feature so that the game wouldn't become too tedious when navigating, but it also doubles as pretty good lore.
My first thought was that the creature has some sort of hypnotic power which they used to move him all the way over there and that banging was just the connection being severed. But then again, I just think teleportation would be a bit of a cop out, lmao.
Bruh how
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
Mark being jumpscared by steam in Poppy Playtime:
“DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY HORROR GAMES I’VE PLAYED? A SO CALLED “JUMPSCARE” SUCH AS THIS COULD NEVER SCARE ME, AND I AM OFFENDED THAT TOU THINK I WOULD BE”
Mark being jumpscared by steam in Iron Lung:
“WOO, hi. OKAY, my god”
well, this whole "horror games for kids" genre completely overuses jumpscares... here the single (or two) one really gets you because it was comperatively calm beforehand, playing with athmosphere is important
He hates the ocean and he's in a sub. I'd be scared too
Steam coming from a pipe in a submarine that is welded shut is more terrifying than steam coming from a random pipe in a building
The difference, I think, is that the blood ocean didn't try to sell you on NFTs.
don't watch my last video 🥵🥵!
Honestly if the movie is just Mark sitting in a metal tube continually giving out his coordinates and talking to houston (which would definitely be imaginary and he's just crazy talking to himself), I'd be happy.
Lets be honest, we'd be happy with anything containing Mark
I just watched the time on your comment change from 7 to 8 months. Never seen it change in person like that so figured I’d comment about it lol

The concept of this game is terrifying and depressing, but at the same time really cool.
Like, humanity has literally no hope for survival, but they're still doing everything in their power to try and survive. So they send this criminal down on a literal blood moon to try and find anything that might delay their extinction.
Then the criminal, who also has no chance of survival, is trying to earn their freedom by completing this impossible mission, but it's pointless anyway because he's still going to die along with the rest of humanity.
It's actually really sad, and yet the concept is still so interesting and unique. It's really cool.
also the lore that we get little pieces of if super super cool, like why is there a portal of energy just sat in a corner, why do we get thrown around the map and whats up with all the windows and brick walls hidden in the rubble of this planet
Honestly, I think it would make a great sandbox survival game.
@@gashacybin theres even a secret objective in that trench, a place that pops in and out on radar thats not even on the map (its never counted as one, but it has high similarities with other objectives)
you really thought about that didn't you
If you like this I recommend Soma (maybe you already know that game). That also has a desperate situation worsening through the game. Btw Mark made a let's play of it too
3:31 wow someone should make a movie with this note, it’s so cinematic.
Huhhh...
mark is like narrating this all so perfectly and in character he should make a movie about this or something
Damn what a good idea... they should make a film like Mark in space or smthing
Yeah he’s so good at communicating and stuff I really think he should make a UA-cam channel
I think he would become a very famous youtuber one day
Think mark should be named mark ya'll
yeah this guy should be born he would definitely be a person
Some how, the way Mark is recording this like it’s a actual deep water mission, makes this strangely calming to listen to.
He's an engineer irl.
It's the fact that his room also has a red tint, just like the submarine in the game.
I know, right? Despite the unsettling circumstances in the game, it feels like an otherwise normal and calm submarine voyage. Feels like I'm part of the crew, casually sitting off to the side whilst the captain (Mark) manages the coordinates. :)

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.
Scp reference or am I schizo?

I can't know about the second thing, but it was an SCP reference. SCP-1689 "Bag of Holding Potatoes", specifically. It's one of my favorites, I strongly recommend it if you haven't read it.
Can't wait for the movie to release and it's just this video with no alterations
That'd be funny AF
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?”

The best part of this is that even though someone would be alone in this container, they’d be talking to themselves just like Mark is. Eventually they’d probably go insane or just crash on purpose

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.
@@DrGandW Also Fingerbones, which Mark played ages ago.
*Stunning also the limitations typo : p
stunning? the atmosphere is good, but the gameplay is mid af
