Sorry if you’ve already seen this, uploaded it a while back but ended up removing it. However, in the past few days there’s been a lot of traction on my gaming content, so I wanted to keep the momentum going, enjoy.
I loved this video and all your gaming vids Kelly my boy however I must admit the chubby I gained from the excitement of a new vid from my boy but sadly I have seen this :( either way glad you put it back up! Don't take them down these are great and I love your take on games give me more!!!
I was thinking of buying this game for a long time but I was still wondering if it was worth it and scary. Now I just want to buy it and experience it myself.😎
Dolores chapter hit me harder then all the other stories honestly. All of the symbolism relates to dementia and her slowly losing her memories. The 3 paintings in the closet showing a head getting slowly more empty reminded me almost instantly of Caretakers "Everywhere at the end of Time" album covers which follow the same theme. Speaking of that album, that's how I learned that apparently music is one of the last things to go from your memory when you are succumbing to the final phases of dementia, So the staircase part where you are just trying to follow music and trying random nonsense doors is showing how her memory is almost completely gone at this point, and she dosent even recognize her own home anymore. The whole house become slowly more distorted until it becomes completely nonsensical and impossible to recognize, save for a few key things like her baby's crib. Idk the theme of dementia is really heavy and honestly terrifying, and I think the game did a lot of good symbolism in that chapter.
I know nothing about this game; but watching this, I was puzzled at the idea of Dolores even having a baby at all. She has dementia...surely her children are grown adults by that point. I wonder if the parts of the crib toy are scattered because that old crib hasn't seen use in decades, but Dolores is so far gone that she doesn't recognize she doesn't actively have an infant.
@@bluesonicstreak7317 I believe they made her look the way she did because her mental illness has affected her so severely by that point that she looks more aged than she is. That, and they wanted to make her look like Lisa from PT. The husband references taking care of the baby multiple times before he is murdered so the baby is really there.
@@bluesonicstreak7317 That's probably the case. Probably only remembered specific memories in the past about her baby. So the crib is important to her.
@@bluesonicstreak7317 Not all memories are the same. For instance I don’t remember many parts of my childhood but I do have a shockingly clear memory of the first time my mom yell at me. Btw no I didn’t have a bad mother just that piece of memory just stood out. In any case depending on when the dementia started going full swing and when she had the baby its entirely possible she lost all memories of her child but of the ones when they where a baby. Assuming they did grow up. Dementia isn’t the most understood subject. Granted, memories in general are a fickle beast. Or so I heard… I don’t know… I forgot.
I've played the entirety of this game fully with its achievements, the wardrobe part is meant for people who are trying to collect all the Russian dolls.
So funny enough, Rakan was in a mental hospital because he thought he was being monitored MkUltra style, it's unclear whether or not he was right, but at the end he succumbs to his delusion (or the sheer terror of having been right) and he eventually perishes scared and alone. This is all worse considering that Rakan's story is based off of the true experiences of someone the devs consulted.
I believe The talking kitchen scene is supposed to be related to Delores It honestly made me truly feel something more than anything else in this game because at first it was funny until I realized that this is part of Delores’ schizophrenia and I immediately got sad
@@cracinlac923 yeah that may very well be but I think the tone of the game is different plus when you really look at some of the worst case scenarios of people with schizophrenia, talking furniture fits
I love this game. I also enjoyed this review so take my comment as just commentary and not a critique. This game most definitely has its fair share of problems but I actually really like Dolores chapter and here's why: Everybody complains about how frustrating it is to play through Dolores' chapter and yet nobody makes the connection that the chapter is about dementia. Feeling lost in your own home, losing things that "were just right here" and on and on... It's like Rakans fear of being watched and the eyeballs, but way more subtle. Similarly, Lucy's battle with mental illness and medication had her so disoriented that she couldn't tell her parents from her demons. The knocks in the closet at the beginning of the chapter are the same as the knocks on the bathroom door at the end.
This game is severely underrated, and it's a shame. I've played the Roblox adaptation of this game first, liked it, watched some gameplay of it, liked it even more.
The mask could represent something arguably more unsettling and sad. The house could be representative of the chaotic and unstable basis of living with intense trauma and/or mental illness. Mental health and substance abuse are very common topics in the game, and the 'good' ending being one in which the protagonist assembles and wears a mask before being able to rejoin their family could be a narrative on the necessity of hiding the internal struggles or trauma and mental illness, to maintain relationships, and some level of normalcy. It works with the other endings too. Being unable to cope with or handle these issues, and being trapped/lost to them (the house) or just ending it all. Way more depressing if you interpret it that way, imo.
Given that the colloquial term for presenting a false demeanor to others while distressed is called masking, I lean heavily in the direction of this interpretation. There is no good ending, to me. Just one where you harm yourself by suffering in silence and one where you harm others and end yourself. And without the option of support and help, the one ending naturally leads to the other.
That. That right there is what makes Visage a masterpiece. There aren't debatable interpretations because it checks off the list of required things in a horror game. It's debatable because it's well written.
I had the a similar thought. All I could see was masking. Putting on a mask to go to his passed family made me think of masking to escape a forced hospitalisation with the intent to pass away after leaving.
Lucy's chapter was the original story, the first one they created, and was featured in the demo/beta. That's probably why it happens to be the longest and most drawn out, because the developers were pumping so much effort into it from the start, that they forgot they were also supposed to make the other chapters. They always intended on adding more since it was a beta build, but their ambitions with Lucy superceded future plans and they spent more time on it than they should have.
Rakan's chapter actually made me think of social anxiety. The fear of being watched, the paranoia of being judged at all times, of being caught doing sth wrong (which can just also be just existing). Wanting to hide even when among people, looking down so you don't meet your eye, so you don't have to interact with them.
Ever played Fatal Frame? I recommend Fatal Frame 3, personally. Sweet combination of atmospheric haunting AND a mechanic allowing you to fight back using your camera obscura.
Game is definitely scary. When I first started, I walked around the house searching everything for hours before I began a chapter. I started with the old woman. Then I see that old man at the bottom of the stairs and it scared the absolute shit out of me. I done the little girl last. So you could imagine my horror when I seen that the light switches were gone after playing 2/3 of the game with the security of the lights. Another unappreciated game that is scary is The Forest. The first time you go into a cave, it's absolutely horrifying. A "NOPE" moment if there ever was one.
What about your first night out in Dying Light . That sh was scary as hell ( FYI I’m talking about DL1 , not DL2 , because DL2 is not scary when you can parachute away like you’re in CoD and the night is so bright you dont even need your flashlight)
I watched this the first time you uploaded it, but it was well worth a second viewing. Glad to hear your gaming content is picking up traction. I like your fake martial arts series, but your other stuff is equally interesting. Keep up the good work.
I remember nearly every major UA-camr (especially the ones who specialize in horror) were playing this game when the first two chapters dropped, but then nothing more came of it after that. I had thought the game had been left unfinished until recently.
Since everyone's talking about delores's story, the clock test is a test given to early dementia patients to determine what stage of the illness patients are at. They are told to draw a clock at a specific time, and the later the stage, the more patients will struggle with depicting each number and the time itself. The idea of having to use a cheat sheet to recall what time each clock needs to be at probably plays into that idea, too
I'm barely 3:30 in and I love it already. Came from your postal video. Glad I subbed and saw this after finishing the postal vid. Great videos dude, I love your humour and the videos.
@@TotallyPointlessTV you're doing great. Been checking in on your newest videos and they're just as good. I like your older content too, but I think your game analysis and your commentary on the games you cover is what's really going to make your channel explode into more and more popularity. But please, please make content you enjoy making, and take time for yourself. I know a lot of UA-camrs burn themselves out or add unneeded stress to themselves over what will keep them relevant.

That may be why you put the effort into these videos, but you need to love your content and what you do too :) You remind me a bit of Wendigoon in the way that you're genuine and really enjoy sharing the things you make videos on. Wish you the best dude
@@TotallyPointlessTV Yes please! New fan here and I've exhausted the gaming content. Binged it all after finding your manhunt videos. Great content, great humor, great lad.
14:00 it's okay man I think you were on the right track and got the hev suit mixed with Apertures legs features from Portal. Both made by Valve. I got you
We have Amnesia to thank for the run and hide mechanic being so popular. It's like developers don't understand what made Amnesia scary in the first place. It's not because you can't fight back it's because the atsmosphere is so well done rather than "Oh no i can't fight back, that's scary."
Well, it’s both. Not being able to fight back was definitely a big part of its success. It works with and builds up the atmosphere, but the atmosphere itself wasn’t really the unique drawing in point at the time.
The atmosphere was definitely a selling point at the time. Who doesn't love castles and weird cthulhu necromancy type bullshit. Amnesia is a masterpiece, as is SOMA which was made by the same developer.
@@TheBlueLink3 at the time it came out I remember it feeling like that was scariest game I had ever played. Going back to it now it hasn’t aged the best..
I really dislike horror games where u cannot "fight back" it doesnt have to be a "haha lets shoot the scary thing" but some sort of way to defend urself So after saying that, i think that the "move objects" in amnesia a really cool way to defense there's plenty of objects that u could put in the enemy path to prevent him catching u or u could just lock the monster in a corner with well placed boxes
I saw a MK-Ultra theory about the house. I think the channel was called Gaming Harry. It was a really good theory and helped to explain some of the story.
I'm glad you mentioned this because I've been racking my brain trying to remember that vid. That guy made a great case for the MK-Ultra theory! It seemed to be legit considering a few lines of dialogue all but confirmed as much. I recall one character in particular who worked at the water plant (I think) and was overcame with guilt and shame for being complicit in his part of everything. Which, I do believe he was contaminating the water supply to the house as an experiment or some fucked up shit like that, and despite his reservations he did what was asked and proceeded to sort of let the consequences wash over him as people starting dying. What a fucked up game, man, holy shit. Spooky and just crushing depression all around.
This review was wild I never knew where you were going. Talking about Lucy ch. “it was so annoying i hated it” talking about dolores ch “it was annoying i hated it” talking about rakan ch “a good time” then you go to rate them “i liked lucy, then dolores and liked rakan least” !?!?!?
I didn't get to see the video the first time you uploaded it and I'm happy that you reupped. Great stuff in its entirety. Editing was spot on and holy crap it probably took a boatload of time in making such a convoluted game make sense! Loved it!
24'42'' - 24'49'' ... best transision of the year. I loved it, made me laugh and rewind it many times. Thanks for making these horror games even 'funny' as the inserted fragments remind me of 'thoughts' while playing, or having 'feedback' from others while playing, taken the best moments of these and fit perfectly in the content seen. Thanks for makin' my day a bit darker. :)
After seeing the oneyplays crew play through this a while back it's pretty impressive to see how much they did since, and that they apparently did in fact cut out the stupid ink people scene
This is a great video but here is a theory that a few friends and i have for this game. All the residents in the house have mental issues. This is not a coincidence. The whole game is hinting toward the MKULTRA program of the CIA. MK-Ultra is the programme where the CIA allegedly drugged United States citizens with multiple kinds of drugs to test their effects. Most notably LSD. In the story you, Dwayne, and your neighbour, Rose, are both part of this program. Dwayne is a field agent and Rose is an observer. Hence why she calls and says that she keeps a good eye on all three previous residents of you read the strips that are in the game. The water treatment facility in the game is in reference to how the people were drugged. By putting it in the water. The person who drugged the water: is you Dwayne. But under an alias, which you find on the keycard of the water treatment facility itself. The black goo monster is therefore a representation of Dwayne’s past actions and his guilt. In the lab where the fire breaks out there is a poster of an lsd molecule which also fits this theory. In the beginning of the game you see Dwayne killing his wife and children and immediately after himself. You wake up but you are not alive. You are a ghost now and stuck with the previous residents whom are there to haunt you. You learn more about the previous residents and how you ruined their mental well-being. Lucy got schizophrenia. Her medication was not meant to help her, also issued by the program to only make it more potent ruined her state according to her mom. Dolores whom went into states of deliriousness. She even believes that her husband is trying to poison her. The tea that you fetched from the attic turns into rat poison in her mind. Eventually she regressed so far that she took the life of her husband and eventually her own life too. Finally you have Rakan who got scopophobia. However he wasn’t suffering from this phobia, he was actually being monitored by the MK-Ultra programme. You as the goo monster try to take away all the evidence from the house but got caught and shot by him. There were no signs of break in because you as a field agent have the keys to the house. He gets taken to the hospital and tries to be gaslighted into believing that he is delusional. Rakan however can not be tricked and they ultimately decide to put him away forever. The last resident in the house is you. It’s right after MK-Ultra gets disbanded. You however still feel the guilt and drink and abuse drugs all in an effort to forget. This reaches into a breaking point and you cue to the gun scene of the into. Your wife and children went to heaven while you are stuck in endless purgatory. This branches out into the two available endings. Dwayne can give up by shooting himself again and again until all the bullets are emptied. The goo form of Dwayne is trying to stop him, as he gets more and more aggressive in stopping you. This is the bad ending and you end up in the well with and apple. Its a mythological story. The Apple represents wisdom and knowledge. He purposefully feigns his ignorance and innocence in what he did and about his voices in life. The good ending however is the total opposite. With each piece of the mask he faces his past actions. He faces all the sins he committed in his past which ultimately make it so he can move on. And how he can finally be reunited with his family. This is how i view the story. Let me know what you think. I really think this is one of the more interesting horror games of these last few years.
thank you for making an inherently scary game into an laughable and enjoyable viewing. I literally got scared at any suspenseful part of the video of gameplay. Especially at 3:22. The memes helped. Thank you again.
I doubt you'll see this but just in case you do - I really appreciate the edits that make it less spooky. I've been trying to find a channel that'll analyze a scary game without making it...scary. I just subbed!
love this video, the structure is really really satisfying. hope to see much much more content. got recommended your postal video, subscribed 10 minutes in and am currently watching through every video you have to offer. can't wait to see more!
The wardrobes you reference actually have a purpose. And Lucys chapter can be the scariest one. Theres a doll hidden in one of them which is needed for an achievement if you want to get that (and truthfully the section is incredibly easy if you don't throw open the wardrobe doors as the ones with the demon in will always snap back into place if you open them just a crack.)
Person no. 1 No clue Person no. 2 post child birth depression (maybe because the child was still born) Person no. 3. PTSD. Either from accidentally causing an accident or being in the military. I think the protagonist is haunted by the families "ghosts" as he was bound along with his family when thier house was broken into and robbed unable to do anything, all he could do was to witness his families demise, he also got shot but survived some how. Feeling survivors guilt and feeling like he failed his family, he saw it as he might as well have pulled the trigger (despite he didn't) , he when found a isolated house to be alone in, somehow either by finding and reading documents and or written notes and or seeing videos about the previous inhabitants for some reason left in the house, our protagonist fuelled by drugs , guilt and remorse when twisted the stories , to sorta escape from reality/ make his own life seem less bad. "The ghost of his family" crisis him for his drug and alcohol abuse. The mask , is something many people with mental illnesses (me included) does, it is metaphorical mask, we put on to hide our true selves to appear more "normal" to others, avoid unwanted questions and so we won't annoy others with our present
"cant we smash the box with a crowbar or the sledge hammer?" "oh it has a record in it" ya know, the easily breakable thing... jokes aside, great review, played it for myself and its pretty enjoyable!
So I stumbled upon the video where you covered POSTAL now I'm binging all your vids lol...Just had to say all your content is really interesting and well published dude
I would like to point out that in the Lucy’s closet you find her communicating with a literal demon, while in the sons closet you just find strange white stains on the wall.
Honestly if you said this was a new silent hill id believe it. The fact that there are a lot of scenes outside the house makes it more easy to believe it could be in that series somehow. Awesome vid and narration!
I loved the house of the game, how you just get this moment of dread as you enter the basement and in complete darkness hear something walk to you. My only issue is the sanity mechanic being tied to light, some rooms I thought were well lit like the kitchen would drain my sanity and make it so I kept getting annoying ghost encounters.
I wanna put my two cents in about the 2nd chapter. I believe that it's chaotic to create an idea of a declining mental state, depression, and insanity.
these video's are honestly so good it's really hard to find this kind of video essay on UA-cam. I honestly lost count of how many times I've watched this video and all of your others (except the early really weird one maybe one day) it's probably over sixty at this point and even then I'm inviting a buddy over to rewatch dead space 3 video and drink to it I thank you so much for keeping me entertained for so long.
When I recently played this game I tried to create the right atmosphere, play at night, all the lights off, but after 20 minutes I had to give up and continue in the afternoon next day. No other horror game had such a strong effect on me before.
One of the most annoying aspects of horror is what I call 'assets piling' - you pile up a bunch of mannequins, cribs, wheelchairs, whathaveyou, and it is supposed to be creepy and deep and symbolic of (insert past trauma / mental issue here). I mean, it might have been off putting once, but now I feel like it is a bore, and it was especially jarring in the lastest Blair Witch game. It is like the game gave you a jolt that you're not in a different world but in a creation of Bloober Team.
unpopular opinion: i LOVE running and hiding, only because it's way scarier than being able to fight back. As soon as I can fight back, I am not scared. fear boner flaccid
That Layers of fear soundtrack never ceases to be ear candy!! Great work my dud And if you want to do one video about Layers or Soma in the future I would be the best
I believe that the house 'haunting' Dwayne is actually just his mental state slowly going away, and at the end he is able to find some peace with a different outlook and face to "face" his hardships
The symbolisum of falling into a hole/pit is mixed, it can mean succumbing to the psychological problems around you. It could also represent jumping blindly into an emotion. But the most common in nightmares especially, and what I think it means in games like Silent Hill and Visage is that you are under the influence (not control) of someone/something who is deliberate with malice, guiding you down the wrong path. This "thing" that is guiding you has harmful and wicked intentions, and although this thing does not directly affect your choice, the choice it does give you is not the correct one. The symolisum is reinforced in these games by these holes having references, such as one hole being covered in flesh and blood. Blood is often a reference to things like death, despair or depression. While smashing open a hole with the sledgehammer could be a reference to violent escape. I also want to mention that jumping down a hole is very different to stepping through, crawling through or passing. As well as the holes being different objects etc. They all have different meanings.
13:48 You were close, it was an object in a valve game and it is technically in the half-life universe. You were thinking of Chell's Long Fall Boots from portal.
The lack of combat made the game that much more scary for me. The fact I can’t just shoot the scary with a shotgun that makes me feel safe is scary enough as is but the fact that there isn’t a definitive safe haven like a locker makes every time a ghost pop up terrifying because I have no idea where to go to hide.
I loved this video. I didn't like this game it felt like it was trying to do too many things that have already been done better and the mechanics of the light bulbs and candles and your sanity if not in the light was absurd. But it was an indie game made by a small team with a relatively small budget so they did do a good job
I don't know if that's what the easter egg was in reference to, but the talking kitchen appliance scene reminded me of an Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode, when shake gets infected with hypno germs, he starts having conversations with kitchen appliances, a basketball and the wall.
Maybe another reason he might be drinking a lot is cause he knows whats in the water and doesnt want to drink the water. Thats why he drinks beer hopefully from a different town or country that isnt laced with drugs
i love Visage, its honestly my favourote horror game of all time. while i still haven't fully finished it (still need to beat Rakkan's chapter), i find the lore so extremely interesting, yet sad at the same time. every moment in that house feels unsafe and depressing, like a million pairs of eyes are watching you, all with the intent of driving you insane. it's honestly such a great game and im glad to see people talking about it
It’s close to my nightmares. It’s just missing the guts blood and bodyparts. Angelfaces morphing into monsters and trains to bring you to the next level of hell
I’ve played this game through like 4 times and I at no time knew you could hide inside shit. I just ran, I feel like at one point I TRIED to hide, got caught and killed immediately, and thought they were making a joke about hiding in horror games much like the shotgun Easter egg. I ended up getting really good at walking and looking slowly with lit candles.
It's implied that the protagonist was a high up CIA officer that took part in MK Ultra and Monarch programming. I don't recall how it was explained, but supposedly the residents are being dosed with LSD in addition to living in a house the is set up to induce: ùparanoia and survey the residents at all times. The second guy was actually catching on but the doctor he was seeing was actually in on the plot. I forget why the protagonist moved into the house after the others, but he slowly succumbs to the house. If you answer the phone when it rings, you'll hear a neighbor that keeps calling to check up on him. She states that she hasn't the protag or anyone leave the house in weeks. The devs wanted to burry this plot under a bunch of red herrings. Problem is they too good of a job while also failing to drop enough clues and glimpses so the player keeps wondering if the phantoms and such were real or was it all the effects of the "experiment."
my idea regarding the ending is that after your death the demon traps you in the house and then after freeing all the others and putting on a new face a new visage you can ascend to heaven
I have no idea why "The real slim shady" got me so badly, but I appreciate it for getting me to sub to this channel. Still one of the best videos on this game that i've seen
After seeing the end of the video and even though I know how it ends, I really wanna play this game now. Dealing with depression and suicidal thoughts I could definitely relate to the ending part of having to put on a mask as a metaphor for having to hide your struggles from the real world or to bury you past trauma while it's still destroying you on the inside. ..... That kitchen scene at 28:07 with the club music had me in stiches for a good 5 mins 🤣🤣. Thanks, I needed a good laugh.
P.T.'s walking speed was slow enough, and more importantly turning the camera was slow enough, that it never made me nauseous. Unfortunately Visage was like almost all first-person games in that even just watching a few seconds of footage is enough to make me deep nauseous let alone playing it. When this video relied on showing rather than telling, I'd pause the video to see the sights, but aside from that i had to rely only listening to it. Awesome video nonetheless, as it was cool to at least hear a glimpse of what this could have offered if only I'd been able to play it.
Damn dude, this is really good! I’m new and I’m really enjoying your editing style and your video game essays! It’s super nice to just kick back and get invested. ❤️

Visage is indeeed a very creepy game but flawed to death, the inventory and f***ing hand system thing burned me BAD, and some puzzles or moments can easily get you lost, and the bugs too... the creepy department was ok but everything else sucked.

Ohhh! I like that! Good catch!
Beautiful catch and interpretation! I hadn't quite noticed or considered that!
Damn, Visage is so good.
just because theres a reason doesnt make it any less boring to play through
The mask could represent something arguably more unsettling and sad.
The house could be representative of the chaotic and unstable basis of living with intense trauma and/or mental illness.
Mental health and substance abuse are very common topics in the game, and the 'good' ending being one in which the protagonist assembles and wears a mask before being able to rejoin their family could be a narrative on the necessity of hiding the internal struggles or trauma and mental illness, to maintain relationships, and some level of normalcy.
It works with the other endings too. Being unable to cope with or handle these issues, and being trapped/lost to them (the house) or just ending it all.
Way more depressing if you interpret it that way, imo.
that was my interpretation as well thank you
Given that the colloquial term for presenting a false demeanor to others while distressed is called masking, I lean heavily in the direction of this interpretation. There is no good ending, to me. Just one where you harm yourself by suffering in silence and one where you harm others and end yourself. And without the option of support and help, the one ending naturally leads to the other.
That. That right there is what makes Visage a masterpiece.
There aren't debatable interpretations because it checks off the list of required things in a horror game. It's debatable because it's well written.
anti-persona kekw
I had the a similar thought. All I could see was masking.
Putting on a mask to go to his passed family made me think of masking to escape a forced hospitalisation with the intent to pass away after leaving.
Lucy's chapter was the original story, the first one they created, and was featured in the demo/beta. That's probably why it happens to be the longest and most drawn out, because the developers were pumping so much effort into it from the start, that they forgot they were also supposed to make the other chapters.
They always intended on adding more since it was a beta build, but their ambitions with Lucy superceded future plans and they spent more time on it than they should have.
12:50 The German part killed me completely. That was unpredictable. Thank you for this laugh
Same! Vid is playing in the background and I'm just hit with "Sprechen Sie Deutsch?". Deffo made me laugh
Meddl, du Kaschper!
We even got the pronaunciation right, respect
I was listenign to this while faling asleep. I tought i was having a fucking stroke
Rakan's chapter actually made me think of social anxiety. The fear of being watched, the paranoia of being judged at all times, of being caught doing sth wrong (which can just also be just existing). Wanting to hide even when among people, looking down so you don't meet your eye, so you don't have to interact with them.
Ever played Fatal Frame? I recommend Fatal Frame 3, personally. Sweet combination of atmospheric haunting AND a mechanic allowing you to fight back using your camera obscura.
I have indeed, great recommendation, great game!
Yessss such an underrated game. I only played 3 but it was amazing
Fatal Frame 2 scarred me, was the first horror game to terrify me
I would love to play the wii version
Great recomendation, fcking awesome games.
Game is definitely scary. When I first started, I walked around the house searching everything for hours before I began a chapter. I started with the old woman. Then I see that old man at the bottom of the stairs and it scared the absolute shit out of me.
I done the little girl last. So you could imagine my horror when I seen that the light switches were gone after playing 2/3 of the game with the security of the lights.
Another unappreciated game that is scary is The Forest. The first time you go into a cave, it's absolutely horrifying. A "NOPE" moment if there ever was one.
@D.
I never played that game co-op lol
What about your first night out in Dying Light . That sh was scary as hell
( FYI I’m talking about DL1 , not DL2 , because DL2 is not scary when you can parachute away like you’re in CoD and the night is so bright you dont even need your flashlight)
@@mediumsurmoon6283 I recently played and beat Dying Light and I never found it scary.
I watched this the first time you uploaded it, but it was well worth a second viewing. Glad to hear your gaming content is picking up traction. I like your fake martial arts series, but your other stuff is equally interesting. Keep up the good work.
I remember nearly every major UA-camr (especially the ones who specialize in horror) were playing this game when the first two chapters dropped, but then nothing more came of it after that. I had thought the game had been left unfinished until recently.
Nah many of them never made it past the puzzles
Since everyone's talking about delores's story, the clock test is a test given to early dementia patients to determine what stage of the illness patients are at. They are told to draw a clock at a specific time, and the later the stage, the more patients will struggle with depicting each number and the time itself. The idea of having to use a cheat sheet to recall what time each clock needs to be at probably plays into that idea, too
I'm barely 3:30 in and I love it already. Came from your postal video. Glad I subbed and saw this after finishing the postal vid. Great videos dude, I love your humour and the videos.
Thanks man, I’ll try to keep the moment going on the gaming content
@@TotallyPointlessTV you're doing great. Been checking in on your newest videos and they're just as good. I like your older content too, but I think your game analysis and your commentary on the games you cover is what's really going to make your channel explode into more and more popularity. But please, please make content you enjoy making, and take time for yourself. I know a lot of UA-camrs burn themselves out or add unneeded stress to themselves over what will keep them relevant. You are doing this is a career, but you should also take time for yourself and enjoy the process and subjects you cover.
This channel is for YOU to share your thoughts and shit, we're just here to tag along, enjoy your content, and hopefully build you up enough to keep you on track for being financially stable through just your videos.
If people don't like your older content but that's what you enjoy making, fuck em. There's a niche for every topic and you come across as extremely genuine in your videos and I don't want you to lose that because you want to please others and jump in line. That may be why you put the effort into these videos, but you need to love your content and what you do too :)
You remind me a bit of Wendigoon in the way that you're genuine and really enjoy sharing the things you make videos on. Wish you the best dude
@@TotallyPointlessTV Yes please! New fan here and I've exhausted the gaming content. Binged it all after finding your manhunt videos. Great content, great humor, great lad.
14:00 it's okay man I think you were on the right track and got the hev suit mixed with Apertures legs features from Portal. Both made by Valve. I got you
We have Amnesia to thank for the run and hide mechanic being so popular. It's like developers don't understand what made Amnesia scary in the first place. It's not because you can't fight back it's because the atsmosphere is so well done rather than "Oh no i can't fight back, that's scary."
Well, it’s both. Not being able to fight back was definitely a big part of its success. It works with and builds up the atmosphere, but the atmosphere itself wasn’t really the unique drawing in point at the time.
The atmosphere was definitely a selling point at the time. Who doesn't love castles and weird cthulhu necromancy type bullshit. Amnesia is a masterpiece, as is SOMA which was made by the same developer.
@@TrippyTheShroom I'll agree with you on SOMA, though I found Amnesia to just be okay.
@@TheBlueLink3 at the time it came out I remember it feeling like that was scariest game I had ever played. Going back to it now it hasn’t aged the best..
I really dislike horror games where u cannot "fight back" it doesnt have to be a "haha lets shoot the scary thing" but some sort of way to defend urself
So after saying that, i think that the "move objects" in amnesia a really cool way to defense
there's plenty of objects that u could put in the enemy path to prevent him catching u or u could just lock the monster in a corner with well placed boxes
Regardless of anything else; the visuals in this game are absolutely stunning from a compositional and thematic standpoint. Great video as always :)
Absolutely. Insane lighting, game design and graphics overall.
Even though the HEV suit from Half Life offers no protection from falls, the boots that Chell uses from Portal sure do. Would work as an editors note
the upgraded HEV suit in Black Mesa in Xen protects you from falls
I saw a MK-Ultra theory about the house. I think the channel was called Gaming Harry. It was a really good theory and helped to explain some of the story.
I'm glad you mentioned this because I've been racking my brain trying to remember that vid. That guy made a great case for the MK-Ultra theory! It seemed to be legit considering a few lines of dialogue all but confirmed as much. I recall one character in particular who worked at the water plant (I think) and was overcame with guilt and shame for being complicit in his part of everything. Which, I do believe he was contaminating the water supply to the house as an experiment or some fucked up shit like that, and despite his reservations he did what was asked and proceeded to sort of let the consequences wash over him as people starting dying.
What a fucked up game, man, holy shit. Spooky and just crushing depression all around.
This review was wild I never knew where you were going. Talking about Lucy ch. “it was so annoying i hated it” talking about dolores ch “it was annoying i hated it” talking about rakan ch “a good time” then you go to rate them “i liked lucy, then dolores and liked rakan least” !?!?!?
“The puzzle in this room is sound, so if your deaf your ****ed”
Rip
I didn't get to see the video the first time you uploaded it and I'm happy that you reupped. Great stuff in its entirety. Editing was spot on and holy crap it probably took a boatload of time in making such a convoluted game make sense! Loved it!
24'42'' - 24'49'' ... best transision of the year. I loved it, made me laugh and rewind it many times.
Thanks for making these horror games even 'funny' as the inserted fragments remind me of 'thoughts' while playing, or having 'feedback' from others while playing, taken the best moments of these and fit perfectly in the content seen. Thanks for makin' my day a bit darker. :)
24:42 - 24:49 there you go
After seeing the oneyplays crew play through this a while back it's pretty impressive to see how much they did since, and that they apparently did in fact cut out the stupid ink people scene
Same, I watched Oney play it and from then it looks like they've changed a ton.
They should add the oneysephiroth sword in the basement, and the fly buzzing could genuinely be unnerving at certain points.
I hate playing horror games, but I absolutely love watching videos about them. Such an amazing and well done video!
You were probably thinking of the shoes from Portal, that prevent you from taking fall damage.
Happens to the best of us.
that rave ghost moment was genuinely terrifying
I rewatched it in slow-mo and clearly seeing the disfigured face made it even more scarier.
This is a great video but here is a theory that a few friends and i have for this game.
All the residents in the house have mental issues. This is not a coincidence. The whole game is hinting toward the MKULTRA program of the CIA. MK-Ultra is the programme where the CIA allegedly drugged United States citizens with multiple kinds of drugs to test their effects. Most notably LSD. In the story you, Dwayne, and your neighbour, Rose, are both part of this program. Dwayne is a field agent and Rose is an observer. Hence why she calls and says that she keeps a good eye on all three previous residents of you read the strips that are in the game. The water treatment facility in the game is in reference to how the people were drugged. By putting it in the water. The person who drugged the water: is you Dwayne. But under an alias, which you find on the keycard of the water treatment facility itself. The black goo monster is therefore a representation of Dwayne’s past actions and his guilt. In the lab where the fire breaks out there is a poster of an lsd molecule which also fits this theory.
In the beginning of the game you see Dwayne killing his wife and children and immediately after himself. You wake up but you are not alive. You are a ghost now and stuck with the previous residents whom are there to haunt you. You learn more about the previous residents and how you ruined their mental well-being. Lucy got schizophrenia. Her medication was not meant to help her, also issued by the program to only make it more potent ruined her state according to her mom.
Dolores whom went into states of deliriousness. She even believes that her husband is trying to poison her. The tea that you fetched from the attic turns into rat poison in her mind. Eventually she regressed so far that she took the life of her husband and eventually her own life too.
Finally you have Rakan who got scopophobia. However he wasn’t suffering from this phobia, he was actually being monitored by the MK-Ultra programme. You as the goo monster try to take away all the evidence from the house but got caught and shot by him. There were no signs of break in because you as a field agent have the keys to the house. He gets taken to the hospital and tries to be gaslighted into believing that he is delusional. Rakan however can not be tricked and they ultimately decide to put him away forever.
The last resident in the house is you. It’s right after MK-Ultra gets disbanded. You however still feel the guilt and drink and abuse drugs all in an effort to forget. This reaches into a breaking point and you cue to the gun scene of the into. Your wife and children went to heaven while you are stuck in endless purgatory. This branches out into the two available endings. Dwayne can give up by shooting himself again and again until all the bullets are emptied. The goo form of Dwayne is trying to stop him, as he gets more and more aggressive in stopping you. This is the bad ending and you end up in the well with and apple. Its a mythological story. The Apple represents wisdom and knowledge. He purposefully feigns his ignorance and innocence in what he did and about his voices in life.
The good ending however is the total opposite. With each piece of the mask he faces his past actions. He faces all the sins he committed in his past which ultimately make it so he can move on. And how he can finally be reunited with his family.
This is how i view the story. Let me know what you think. I really think this is one of the more interesting horror games of these last few years.
ive always loved this theory and truly believe it to be cannon to the actual story.
Wow
thank you for making an inherently scary game into an laughable and enjoyable viewing. I literally got scared at any suspenseful part of the video of gameplay. Especially at 3:22. The memes helped. Thank you again.
I like how i click on a video to see some spooky stuff but end up laughing my ass off. Love your channel.
I doubt you'll see this but just in case you do - I really appreciate the edits that make it less spooky. I've been trying to find a channel that'll analyze a scary game without making it...scary. I just subbed!
Me too!!’ Let me know if u find anymore hahaha
love this video, the structure is really really satisfying. hope to see much much more content. got recommended your postal video, subscribed 10 minutes in and am currently watching through every video you have to offer. can't wait to see more!
Thanks dude, really appreciate that, currently working on another big gaming video. Hope you enjoy it!
@@TotallyPointlessTV nice!
Really enjoying your content especially the long form stuff such as this, much respect thank you for your work
The wardrobes you reference actually have a purpose. And Lucys chapter can be the scariest one. Theres a doll hidden in one of them which is needed for an achievement if you want to get that (and truthfully the section is incredibly easy if you don't throw open the wardrobe doors as the ones with the demon in will always snap back into place if you open them just a crack.)
Person no. 1 No clue
Person no. 2 post child birth depression (maybe because the child was still born)
Person no. 3. PTSD. Either from accidentally causing an accident or being in the military.
I think the protagonist is haunted by the families "ghosts" as he was bound along with his family when thier house was broken into and robbed unable to do anything, all he could do was to witness his families demise, he also got shot but survived some how. Feeling survivors guilt and feeling like he failed his family, he saw it as he might as well have pulled the trigger (despite he didn't) , he when found a isolated house to be alone in, somehow either by finding and reading documents and or written notes and or seeing videos about the previous inhabitants for some reason left in the house, our protagonist fuelled by drugs , guilt and remorse when twisted the stories , to sorta escape from reality/ make his own life seem less bad. "The ghost of his family" crisis him for his drug and alcohol abuse.
The mask , is something many people with mental illnesses (me included) does, it is metaphorical mask, we put on to hide our true selves to appear more "normal" to others, avoid unwanted questions and so we won't annoy others with our present
The Run and Hide thing is from Amnesia, where it was great and part of the core theme of the story.
A lot of other places it feels weird
Life goals: be rich enough to live in a house as creepy as this one.
I LOVE how you narrate videogames... or everything, keep going dude!
The real slim shady line killed me fr 💀(I'm literally a skeleton bro)
right? i was like 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"cant we smash the box with a crowbar or the sledge hammer?" "oh it has a record in it" ya know, the easily breakable thing...
jokes aside, great review, played it for myself and its pretty enjoyable!
So I stumbled upon the video where you covered POSTAL now I'm binging all your vids lol...Just had to say all your content is really interesting and well published dude
I would like to point out that in the Lucy’s closet you find her communicating with a literal demon, while in the sons closet you just find strange white stains on the wall.
Honestly if you said this was a new silent hill id believe it. The fact that there are a lot of scenes outside the house makes it more easy to believe it could be in that series somehow. Awesome vid and narration!
I loved the house of the game, how you just get this moment of dread as you enter the basement and in complete darkness hear something walk to you. My only issue is the sanity mechanic being tied to light, some rooms I thought were well lit like the kitchen would drain my sanity and make it so I kept getting annoying ghost encounters.
I wanna put my two cents in about the 2nd chapter. I believe that it's chaotic to create an idea of a declining mental state, depression, and insanity.
Never would've expected to be jumpscared by the screaming cowboy song, but here we are.
Love the use of the Layers of Fear soundtrack! Another favorite in horror in 'recent' years!
Thank you
I was looking for the music he used in the video
these video's are honestly so good it's really hard to find this kind of video essay on UA-cam. I honestly lost count of how many times I've watched this video and all of your others (except the early really weird one maybe one day) it's probably over sixty at this point and even then I'm inviting a buddy over to rewatch dead space 3 video and drink to it I thank you so much for keeping me entertained for so long.
Dude, your channel is full of good content! Please, bring more of game analysis!
When I recently played this game I tried to create the right atmosphere, play at night, all the lights off, but after 20 minutes I had to give up and continue in the afternoon next day. No other horror game had such a strong effect on me before.
0:59~ Uhm, was that the Tasmanian Devil on the phone...? Wtf lol 🤔
One of the most annoying aspects of horror is what I call 'assets piling' - you pile up a bunch of mannequins, cribs, wheelchairs, whathaveyou, and it is supposed to be creepy and deep and symbolic of (insert past trauma / mental issue here). I mean, it might have been off putting once, but now I feel like it is a bore, and it was especially jarring in the lastest Blair Witch game. It is like the game gave you a jolt that you're not in a different world but in a creation of Bloober Team.
unpopular opinion: i LOVE running and hiding, only because it's way scarier than being able to fight back. As soon as I can fight back, I am not scared. fear boner flaccid
Exactly. How could he not get this?
I wouldn't say it's unpopular. I think it's like a 50/50 split if someone would prefer combat or no combat in horror.
Not the Andromeda shade oh my god- That caught me off guard
My theory is that they all went insane because they couldn’t get blink 182 tickets and the demon is Tom Delonge’s physical manifestation haunting them
That Layers of fear soundtrack never ceases to be ear candy!!
Great work my dud
And if you want to do one video about Layers or Soma in the future I would be the best
That talking on the first phone call had me crying. It sounds like Taz the Tasmanian devil trying to give you a warning
I started my playthrough on Delores' story, so the ending for me was at the mirror circle.
I believe that the house 'haunting' Dwayne is actually just his mental state slowly going away, and at the end he is able to find some peace with a different outlook and face to "face" his hardships
Your commentary is genuinely hilarious I couldn’t stop snorting LOL
The symbolisum of falling into a hole/pit is mixed, it can mean succumbing to the psychological problems around you. It could also represent jumping blindly into an emotion. But the most common in nightmares especially, and what I think it means in games like Silent Hill and Visage is that you are under the influence (not control) of someone/something who is deliberate with malice, guiding you down the wrong path. This "thing" that is guiding you has harmful and wicked intentions, and although this thing does not directly affect your choice, the choice it does give you is not the correct one. The symolisum is reinforced in these games by these holes having references, such as one hole being covered in flesh and blood. Blood is often a reference to things like death, despair or depression. While smashing open a hole with the sledgehammer could be a reference to violent escape.
I also want to mention that jumping down a hole is very different to stepping through, crawling through or passing. As well as the holes being different objects etc. They all have different meanings.
personally, i think
house = purgatory
true ending = heaven
secret ending = hell
anyone know what the background music is from? it's very eerie, i like it (: great vid!
When that phone rang and he answered, that sounded like my wife on the other end. Shit this game is realistic.
Man playing some music from Layers of Fear really fits this
13:48 You were close, it was an object in a valve game and it is technically in the half-life universe. You were thinking of Chell's Long Fall Boots from portal.
I legit feel like you said EV suit more to make a gamer rehab joke. And it was gold.
The lack of combat made the game that much more scary for me. The fact I can’t just shoot the scary with a shotgun that makes me feel safe is scary enough as is but the fact that there isn’t a definitive safe haven like a locker makes every time a ghost pop up terrifying because I have no idea where to go to hide.
20:26 Every crowbar is pretty much Gordon freeman's crowbar change my mind
I loved this video. I didn't like this game it felt like it was trying to do too many things that have already been done better and the mechanics of the light bulbs and candles and your sanity if not in the light was absurd. But it was an indie game made by a small team with a relatively small budget so they did do a good job
The portal legs protect from falling damages
I love the small significance of using "a" instead of "the" in the title. Anyway! Another fantastic video!
I don't know if that's what the easter egg was in reference to, but the talking kitchen appliance scene reminded me of an Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode, when shake gets infected with hypno germs, he starts having conversations with kitchen appliances, a basketball and the wall.
Maybe another reason he might be drinking a lot is cause he knows whats in the water and doesnt want to drink the water. Thats why he drinks beer hopefully from a different town or country that isnt laced with drugs
i had to run back that intro. you savage you
i love Visage, its honestly my favourote horror game of all time. while i still haven't fully finished it (still need to beat Rakkan's chapter), i find the lore so extremely interesting, yet sad at the same time. every moment in that house feels unsafe and depressing, like a million pairs of eyes are watching you, all with the intent of driving you insane. it's honestly such a great game and im glad to see people talking about it
It’s close to my nightmares. It’s just missing the guts blood and bodyparts. Angelfaces morphing into monsters and trains to bring you to the next level of hell
I’ll never afford a pc to play these so these walkthroughs are awesome
@@shadowbanned1999 not really
Pretty cool they paid a little homage to silent hill. The talking appliances are funny and looks like a series on a sitcom at night.
You should watch Gaming Harry's explanation video on Visage. I think he hits the nail on the head with his theory.
“Oh yeah look at me now I’m double handing lighters.”
3:50, will it stop or not, exact moment you said, my fn mirror falls down behind, heart stopped 10/10
I’ve played this game through like 4 times and I at no time knew you could hide inside shit. I just ran, I feel like at one point I TRIED to hide, got caught and killed immediately, and thought they were making a joke about hiding in horror games much like the shotgun Easter egg. I ended up getting really good at walking and looking slowly with lit candles.
It's implied that the protagonist was a high up CIA officer that took part in MK Ultra and Monarch programming. I don't recall how it was explained, but supposedly the residents are being dosed with LSD in addition to living in a house the is set up to induce: ùparanoia and survey the residents at all times. The second guy was actually catching on but the doctor he was seeing was actually in on the plot.
I forget why the protagonist moved into the house after the others, but he slowly succumbs to the house. If you answer the phone when it rings, you'll hear a neighbor that keeps calling to check up on him. She states that she hasn't the protag or anyone leave the house in weeks.
The devs wanted to burry this plot under a bunch of red herrings. Problem is they too good of a job while also failing to drop enough clues and glimpses so the player keeps wondering if the phantoms and such were real or was it all the effects of the "experiment."
At 20:15, after you give the tea to Dolores and she smacks you, "kill-r" can be read on the tea box. Have fun everybody !
my idea regarding the ending is that after your death the demon traps you in the house and then after freeing all the others and putting on a new face a new visage you can ascend to heaven
Visage is an amazing game. It has been siting in my library since release and I finally got around to playing it. It's incredible.
I have no idea why "The real slim shady" got me so badly, but I appreciate it for getting me to sub to this channel. Still one of the best videos on this game that i've seen
I’m assuming you have seen or played layers of fear it’s one of my favorite horror games would love too see a video on it
Played this game after dropping a tab of acid. Dont play this game on acid.
Visage fucked me up. Really dark and unsettling. The opening scene was horrifying.
After seeing the end of the video and even though I know how it ends, I really wanna play this game now. Dealing with depression and suicidal thoughts I could definitely relate to the ending part of having to put on a mask as a metaphor for having to hide your struggles from the real world or to bury you past trauma while it's still destroying you on the inside.
.....
That kitchen scene at 28:07 with the club music had me in stiches for a good 5 mins 🤣🤣. Thanks, I needed a good laugh.
The phone scene in the beginning through me so off, lmao, I couldn't stop laughing
P.T.'s walking speed was slow enough, and more importantly turning the camera was slow enough, that it never made me nauseous. Unfortunately Visage was like almost all first-person games in that even just watching a few seconds of footage is enough to make me deep nauseous let alone playing it. When this video relied on showing rather than telling, I'd pause the video to see the sights, but aside from that i had to rely only listening to it. Awesome video nonetheless, as it was cool to at least hear a glimpse of what this could have offered if only I'd been able to play it.
Damn dude, this is really good! I’m new and I’m really enjoying your editing style and your video game essays! It’s super nice to just kick back and get invested. ❤️
Mark this day down in history on the day of Saturday December 30 at CST-6 at 4:16. Dr_Nobody2972 have finished pointless gaming analysis playlist it has taken me a week to do this I love your videos . I will also Wright this on the newer video
Visage is indeeed a very creepy game but flawed to death, the inventory and f***ing hand system thing burned me BAD, and some puzzles or moments can easily get you lost, and the bugs too... the creepy department was ok but everything else sucked.
