Yo! There is one game that came out last year that I would have loved to include in this video had it been released at the time. Luckily, I decided to make a whole episode on that game ;) here you go! - ua-cam.com/video/fOcjDxW1g4k/v-deo.html
Ooh yeah the first thing I thought when I watched this video was that boss fight where you have to use the files in your computer or use cards that online people make. And Inscryption is not even the nest indie game of 2021.Even though I didn't even play the game myself, I don't even enjoy card games, I'm so mad that it is so underappreciated
@@lilithium3940 Lmao solid question. Definitely not performance-wise, obviously it’s killing it on views. But as far as how good a job I did on it? Still sits at a solid 7 for me
All these twist ending's date back to enders game. While ender thought he was just playing a game the whole time in the end he found out he was fighting a real war.
this computer is my dads and it is a mixture of his first and last name and some even got cut off so it was like "or do you go by smill or something like that" and i died of laughter
And she has a sprite(her neutral one, actually), where she is literally facing to you(both with eyes and body), instead of being a bit tilted like the other characters. Yes, Natsuki and Yuri have player-facing sprites too, but they are not looking at the player in those sprites.
Also, she's the only one with black socks that are a higher length, an English name, and she also seems to be the only European girl (green eyes light brown hair) among the Dokis, Sayori looks the second most realistic but especially Natsuki and Yuri are super anime-like with their colorful eyes and hair. If you think about it, Natsuki and Yuri are not only anime-girl looking, but acting as well. Natsuki is the stereotypical Tsundere weeb girl, And Yuri is the sweet-turns-bloody masochistic Yandere. Their body types are also part of this stereotype, Natsuki being the short, petite hothead Tsundere, Yuri being the busty, tall, goddess-like bookworm. Compare them to Sayori and Monika who aren't as stereotypical at all. But yeah her front facing sprites are a huge giveaway to her weird behavior. Playing Doki doki again, Monika seems suspicious right from the get-go. She was made to stand out from the rest.
The fact that the game is made in such a way that you think that someone is actually spying on you makes me adore it. Simply plays with your thoughts and feelings.
@@andyrajendra3103 Watched a playthrough of that and bloody hell, it was one hell of a ride. Makes you think again when picking choices in any game after going through that experience
I would definetly pick the worst thing to happen to him Why? Because in that situation i would think that Chris is an actor that knows that the people that kidnapped him are also actors and that they were just acting and pretending that chris was just pretending
@VelocityRaptor yea cause i'm just imagining how little amount of people would be getting the 100 grand and all the people feeling guilty for picking the terrible option
My creepiest experience of a 4th wall break was doki doki. The way they envelope you in the game then destroy the entire concept of you being in control. I started tripping when monika had my actual name in the dialogue box bruh💀💀
4th wall breaks in VR games are gonna be the spookiest. Imagine an NPC stopping the world and addressing you, the person, by your Steam ID or even real name. It'd make people shit bricks.
i always thought the 4th wall was scary as it kind of suggests that there could be a "5th wall" which separates me from the "actual world" that im not aware of, and that i, too, could be being watched.
Just imagine if Chris got kidnapped, then they drove to television studio, let him inside and tell "this is the group responsible for everything bad happened with you today!"
Toby Fox originally wanted to do something similar to this, with the Omega Flowey boss fight. The face that pops up on the monitor was originally supposed to pull an image from your webcam, distort it, and then use it on the screen but toby changed it at the last minute.
I really like Flowey's line of "at least we're better than the sickos who just watch it happen" cause it's shot at the people who do the good ending in the game an look up the bad endings on UA-cam, which is exactly what I did.
Apparently that line only happens if the program registers screen recording software on the device. It's specifically made for the people who watch youtubers and streamers.
Honestly, Doki Doki is a genius psychological horror masterpiece. The way the story flows and the tough moments you go through makes it feel you are responsible for EVERYTHING. You feel guilt, emotions, and you are not mentally / emotionally prepared. The more you progress, the more the characters watch you... (If you've played DDLC then you know what I mean)

There is a scene in the game Pony Island where you are asked to type "the most vile thought that comes to your brain" and then you get a spoofed Steam message from one of your friends as if that vile thought had just been sent to them. It's pretty... creepy.
that never happen when i played it. i remember the game want us to write "the most disgusting thought that comes to your mind" then you get a spoofed Steam message "(the disgusting thing you typed) really?" by someone with a profile pic of a snowman. the reason why it never happen when i played it, could be that i played it on origin and need to be on steam for the game get your friend list.
An example of a fourth wall break I love: in animal crossing, one of Goldie's things that she says is something along the lines of "have you seen that lab on the cover of nintendogs? He's so dreamy..."
One of my villagers in new leaf straight up asked me when the new animal crossing game was coming out (this was before new horizons came out). I was freaked
Mine has to be when they recognize in the first game that deleting your save pretty much kills everyone in the town so you essentially get told do you want to kill us all anytime you want to start fresh.
A few years ago I played a game called "Madrid Zombi". It's a choice book kind of thing where you lead your character to survive through a zombie apocalypse in the capital of Spain. Lots of fun until the character has a nightmare, wakes up and stares at a window...the music stops until finally he breaks down and hits the window, causing your phone to vibrate as font suddenly changes to a messy handwriting and your character questions YOU about your choices and how much control do you truly have. Not even mentioning the villain that literally taunts you personally, for example by giving the character a black king, then letting you play as him only to finish by showing a white king and telling you that he is eager to see the next move of your pawn

I disagree. I'm sure 100% minus a fraction of one that, in the Experiment show Daryl showed, the audiences know there's going to be consequences; and not a light one. Yet, they still picked the worst option possible every time. Of course, many other factors included. Anonymity removes our identity, and thus if we do something normally bad, no one knows. No one to take the consequences if nobody did it.
There is one part in Deltarune that really stands out to me with its break of the fourth wall: Kris pulls out their little heart icon because they don’t want to be controlled anymore. It doesn’t work for them, but it’s quite a shocking moment, especially when I was playing it through for the first time as someone who’s interests weren’t really in Undertale or Deltarune.
Same, I felt terrified. The second the kidnappers jumped out I was scared for Chris and hearing the laughter of those people didnt make it any better it made me sick.
i'm pretty sure they were all actors, they'd probably get in a whole lot of trouble if chris wasn't. also at the end they show him viewing the tv through a camera located in the house. it would be highly likely he is an actor, and illegal if wasn't.
@@kali6155 It would be kynda poetic funny if chris snap at the end and tried a rampage against the study and the people participating... or just put a demand to everyone
I vaguely remember, when I was a kid and me and my sister played Hotel 626. It displayed our picture in that one minigame where you have to select from a dozen of pictures hung up right before you can escape. Felt the chills right then and there and exited the browser cause that felt really, really, creepy and weird.
This is actually a deliberate choice in the "Black Mirror" series, because every episode finishes with a cut to black, you can (more often than not) see yourself in the reflection of your screen, rendering your screen as a *Black Mirror*
The “experiment” sounds like the concept behind a very interesting horror movie, especially with the creepy masks, and the extremely unsettling laughter of the crowd, and that’s not a good thing
Yeah imagine having the fear that maybe thousands of people are watching every where you go. And when you're doing private stuff, it'll constantly be at the back of your head that someone is watching you
Haha I was right after the hint you gave me. Games pretending to glitch or "crash" or pulling up fake windows is a mechanic I always loved. I don't think any other thing actually freaks me out as much as that.
When it happened in an ending of Aot I was lowkey scared, especially since I watch every single opening and ending. They had me in a routine of enjoying the music and visuals so I was absolutely not prepared. Then the glitch and the stuff that happened freaked me out. That was very nicely done.
Doki Doki is probably the best 4th wall breaks i have seen in the game. It reakly takes the concept that you mentioned of buklding anonymity then destroying it to a whole different level. Foreshadowing, saying tour real name, monika honting she knows you are a 'real person' its all so terrifying
@@fergoose87 unless the 4th wall break IS the immersion. Sure, if done poorly it can ruin it, that usually happens in movies, but if it's well crafted and part of the story it's really cool.
It would be really cool to have a large dialogue selection for different games, man I could think of so many cool ideas for fourth wall breaks but not have any idea how to execute them.
when he spoke about doing stuff in private, or thinking whatever you want knowing it’s your brian, and only your brain; that hit hard. i never have any moments like that since i’m paranoid. i truly feel like someone knows what i’m thinking or doing. i believe there are micro cameras all round me, watching only me. i acknowledge it sounds stupid, but i really do believe that. i don’t know what’s wrong with me and i can’t get rid of it.
What I really liked about ddlc is that the game knows when you're streaming. So Monica won't use what your windows username. She will call you something else and then directly speak to your viewers
Yes. I agree. I also like that the game shocks you. For example when Yuri stabbed herself, Sayori dying, Natsuki necksnap and Monikas jumpscare. It also makes you nervous like the Yuri and Natsuki fight.
yeah, code changes are REAL freaky. Like how genocide in undertale permanently changes the code for your game, even if you undownload and redownload the game. It makes you feel guilty, seeing the consequences of your actions each time you play
@@theshermantanker7043 not everything. Most of that was actually real. @Ayesha Nazir Tbh, i really liked this video but watching it gave me more anxiety than im used to
5:10 I think you have explained perfectly the psychology of why some celebrities are ridiculed to an intense degree people like Britney Spears, Marilyn Monroe or Elvis Presley people tend to forget they ARE humans they have feelings and are not perfect.
I now realize 4th wall break is really scary My example: imagine you playing a 3rd person horor game and 1 of the other characters looking at the camera angle of your line of sight and not the character you play as
The scariest 4th wall break by far was the one in Detroit become human, where the android on the main menu told me my save was corrupted then had the audacity to say kidding while I was on the verge of a breakdown
I guess this is a bit odd apparently but if I were in that crowd I probably would have picked the nice options because when I watch or play things often my favorite scenes are just of the characters having a good time, no action, no drama, just the characters hanging out and having fun
when I played undertale, i was aware of the fact that my actions affected how the characters reacted. I chose the "nice" path because i don't want to see these characters sad, even if they are fictional. Im with yall on this.
I played a short horror game once that was one of the scariest games i've played. In one part of the game you are told to check a folder on the ingame desk and see if you recognize the photo. Inside the folder is a picture taken directly from your desktop. Scared the living shit out of me
Imagine that book was second-hand. The person you got it from commented in your conversation about buying it that it had their name in the first sentence of the first page. You get the book and open it up. You skim the first sentence and see your own name, not the seller’s, in the first sentence. You realize it was actually written over and the seller was pulling your leg. Or were they...?
yea, i remember that part. I also remember where the MC had to say a bad word so we can continue the movie. My grandpa was so disappointed in us xD but when we had to choose the other option, we got game over ://
Smoove Shoa-dow it’s separate to the rest of black mirror on Netflix, but if you search black mirror or bandersnatch it should come up. You can essentially choose what happens in the episode when options come up
I do love the constant 4th wall breaking in control. Jesse addresses the entity in her head as "you" and thereby effectively talks to the player. You can even do a very interesting analysis of the game interpreting polaris as the player.
The clip of that person getting “kidnapped” made me feel sick to my stomach because as far as the audience knew, they know it’s Chris and that Chris doesn’t know that he is on a game show means the audience is essentially laughing at someone getting kidnapped
I got the same sick feeling, and it got even worse when he was hit by that car. It was like he was calling out for help, waiting for them to stop and notice he was being "kidnapped" but then he got hit by the car bc it was too short notice. He could've literally died and the majority of that audience wouldn't care. That entire show is like a cult. I've never watched it nor even heard of it until this video, but now that I have, I'm questioning not only the sanity of the host, but why this show got approved in the first place
I feel like my favorite kinds of 4th wall breaks aren't actually when they're used for spooks, but when they're used as emotional beats. The endings of Undertale and OneShot both ask you directly not to reset the game files, letting their characters keep their happy resolutions. It's always struck me as a curious example of reciprocity- the game 'believed in' your existence as a player, but now in return it wants you to 'believe in' its existence as more than a game as well.
oh when i finished the true pacifist route flowey's speech hit me *HARD* i really wanted those guys to have their happy ending, so i haven't touched the game since... i still have it buried in my files, inside a folder called "DONT RUIN THEIR HAPPY ENDING!" i miss those guys, but i can't bear to take everything away from them!
oneshot is pretty much my favorite game for this reason. it uses the 4th wall break as a way to pull you into the story so fully. it's the only game i've ever completed (through solstice) and never picked up again because the story just means so much to me that i don't ever want to ruin it by playing again/overplaying it like i do with so many other games
Yeah I can’t bring myself to reset my undertale save file, haven’t touched it in years. I hope frisk is having a good time with their family, even if it’s only an imaginary life
The audience laughs because, from their perspective, no harm should be coming to Chris. Therefore, his feelings of terror aren't 'real' because they know, or at least think they do, about what's really happening. It's another version of Perspective Bias. If you have information about a given situation that another person doesn't have, you will react to that situation from the vantage of your perspective because it provides you with an advantage. When Chris got 'hit' by the car, that moment made the audience and Chris 'equal' in their perspective, making them lose that advantage, thus allowing them to feel horror and empathy for him, which they didn't have before. The college experiment is really an examination of the layers by which depersonalization of oneself as well as another person takes place. The more abstract that person is in your mind, the more the consequences you make them go through become abstract ideas as well. Another thing to consider is sunk-cost and escalation. It is far easier to do a horrible thing the 100th time than it is the 1st time. The experiment starts off with the person not screaming in utter agony (you haven't been conditioned enough yet to ignore that response) but with each press of the button, and increase in scream, your sunk-cost investment in the 'morality' of the situation lessens, so that it becomes easier for you to press the next button, even as the screaming escalates. Also, while the patient's reaction changes with each press of the button, notice.....how all the buttons look exactly the same. Our brains can be 'tricked' into performing an action if the conditions of it are very similar to one we have previously engaged with. The experimental subject is only tasked with pressing a button or a lever...just like they did previously. Furthermore, with each encouragement from the 'authority figure' that its ok to keep pressing the buttons, a familiar pattern of behavior begins to emerge. Again, the experiment is very clear that the person only needs to press another button....and the way our brains think, we go "if I wasn't evil when I pressed the first button....how can I be evil now?" Subtle, abstract details are things most of us are not conditioned to be aware of....for reasons such as we don't crawl into a ball and start screaming when a thousand flakes of snow start falling.
My favorite thing about the fourth wall and breaking it is when the game actively uses you as a part of the story. Take Hello Charlotte as an example. It incorporates the audience itself, the players, into the story. In a really amazing way, too.
wait?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? THE HECK THE COMMENTS ARE FROM 2 MONTHS AGO BUT THE VIDEO WAS POSTED YESTERDAY.. ????????????????
The thing that bothers me about the experiment is that fact that it's based on majority. There were probably a ton of people in that audience who voted for good outcomes but were outnumbered. Those people were made to feel guilty for something they didn't even cause, they had to watch all these terrible things happening despite them trying to stop it. Honestly, it's disgusting
I think I would rather be gone out of the room than stay in that crowd, ´cause holy shit this is messed up. _gets up, tears mask off, walks away in silence_
A few years ago, someone insulted me in Turkish. I answered him also in Turkish. He was totally astonished and asked me, why I can talk Turkish. I answered, that I do not talk Turkish at all, I just read the subtitles, which left him even more confused.
Incredible video! I watched this video when it initially came out over 2 years ago and it inspired me to take psychology as a school subject, and now I'm in the process of writing my final HS psychology essay on how video games create a fear response in people which was inspired by this video.
There’s a mobile game called “Progress to 100” and it makes you do stuff like plug your phone in, have someone call you, put it in airplane mode, and at one point it even makes you physically go outside and take 10000 steps, I think one of the levels is actually passed by leaving the game and not playing it for a few minutes, that’s the entire level
there's some ads for those annoying games and the games make you flip your phone, turn up your volume, among other things, v interesting in terms of 4th wall breaking
@Allen Andrich We care so much about your opinion. No actually I really dont. If you dont have something nice to say, dont say it. Acting all self righteous is just so extravagantly stupid in more ways than one.
Allen Andrich I agree it’s a lot of work but no effort most gacha vids are just bull shit that their community like Most gacha vids are just two people having s*x or a group of people escaping prison Gacha is all bull shit and having s*x or kissing
Navorry Leaf Not a single thing you just said is true. Yes there are some dirty gacha videos that aren’t appropriate, but those are dirty romance stories probably made by teens who’s hormones are going crazy, and the majority of gacha videos aren’t like that. And yeah there bunch of terrible gacha videos, but there are also really amazing gacha videos. Judging gacha life based on those is like judging western music by jojo siwa, that’s the more toxic side, and just like everything else, the toxic sides usually appear more. And by the way, some people put hours apron hours of effort into gacha videos (you have no idea how long it takes, to take the photos, and then to edit them into a video). People who actually try to make quality videos write scripts, spends tons of time designing characters and background characters, does more frames to make it more smooth, and sometimes people would do fully animated videos. Oh and also, gacha isn’t only about making stories, people also do lots of art edits, edit memes, tweening, and actual animation. Through gacha life, I have learnt to properly write scripts and bring characters to life, I have also crazily improved my English skills through gacha life, I know how to edit videos, I have heavily improved my art, and I’m really good at voice acting. I do post gacha (on a separate account) and I haven’t posted a single video (except for my really bad first ones) that fits your description. So yeah. Lol wasn’t expecting this to be long, but I’m hella bored anyways so why not.
except with a channel called laurenzside. instead of “lauren” they always say “laure” in all the games and it’s hilarious honestly- but yeah apart from that it’s super freaky
if someone livestreams the last act of the game (when youre in the timeless room with monika) on OBS I think but it could be different, she acknowledges it, addresses the viewers directly and even jumpscares the streamer and viewers
For any form of media to execute the 4th wall troupe well has to be subtlety which is why a game like Doki, which I and many others presumed it to be a normal visual novel game, ended up being straight fear (I think it was the first time of my life I experienced extreme paranoia lmao).
One of the greatest 4th wall concept ive heard was made by my professor who was a comic artist. She wrote this character to be so despisable that readers would comment scornful words regarding her for jokes and laughs but then she set her up for a redeem arc and having her face to face with the words of the readers copy pasted into the comic. and the character broke down in massive tears
Yep, it kinda reminds me how the Soviets tried to control people through Propaganda and messages meant to give people a certain reaction. I thought were beyond that :(
Seeing characters break through the 4th wall is super cool but kinda scary at the same time… you don’t realize how much control you really have and it feels like so much more then just some video game your playing when they interact with you and all the choices you’ve made up until that point..
One thing i actually LOVED about Doki Doki literature Club is that they decided NOT to use the "real name text" when you have recording software open and instead go for a simple jumpscare and Monika talking to your audience. This small detail which lets you have your privacy, but still breaks the fourth wall is GREAT.
@@Robman92 there is a great video by "TechRules" where he analyzed all scares in the game and deconstructed how it works. Was suoer interesting to see!
I still remember the sheer pit in my stomach I felt when Monica called me by my real name. I chose the name Obama as a joke, so it really was like a protective bubble being burst to suddenly have my safe joke name replaced my real actual name.
@Dragonett I think it tries to find the name of your Steam account, since most Steam accounts use their real first names instead of their alibi. Or, it can be your email since it is usually, “ Firstnamehere@gmail.com” Edit: It probably doesnt bypass some sort of security rule because the AI is only looking at your first name.
Oh yeah woo yeah not your steam name, but rather the name of the user PC your using, which is much more likely your real name rather than your steam one
I remember playing some game in which your character constantly got warning sings that they are being watched and it's all kinda creepy a bit but then they suddenly make one photo from your PC appear in the game and ask you do you recognize it. Scared the shit out of me
I remember watching a live stream for Doki Doki LC. I watched them play it until the end. At the end, Monika (while starring directly at the camera without emoting) said “Wait, you’re recording this live right now. Aren’t you? Umm… Hi everyone” (talking to the live chat). This completely freaked me and the streamer out. Definitely caught me off guard.
oh yeah, i’ve seen that before. i was not freaked out because i knew stuff like that could happen in ddlc, but i was pretty … impressed, i guess? maybe a bit surprised, i loved seeing that fsr
One streamer i saw had an amazing reaction to that, she was leaned all the way back in her chair, silent for like 20 seconds straight The best part is that it also functions as a safety measure for streamers: if the player is recording, Monika will just address that fact for the spook; but if the player is not recording, then Monika will start casually referring to the player with their real name (from their windows account) for a more thoroughly terrifying and personal spook
I know I'm not a part of that audience but seriously, I can't even imagine making some of these choices to hurt someone just because I'm annonymous. It feels kind of sickening.
@「ꪑiꪖꪮꪊ」 you think it's sickening because it's considered a taboo, imagine if you can violate any law and people actually compliment your actions due to anonimousity, why would ever stop? Why would you ever hmm, not wanna steal your dad's wallet or read your crush's diary or things that are much *much* worse than this? That's also why keywords like murder, rape, cult, etc are not present if you haven't typed them once in your search engine although you have already written all of the words inside the search bar
@「ꪑiꪖꪮꪊ」 that's the point. Also, you haven't seen yourself doing it, how would you be so sure you would never commit to such a thing? The reason why 4chan users are more offensive, invasive and often infamous for leaking information from other people is because they are anonymous
@𝘴tꪖr ꪑiꪖꪮꪊ i thought about for a while and i realised the people probably treated like a story with no real consequences and i can actually relate. a much more toned down version would be me preferring to olaf dead in frozen 2. if olaf was real and frozen was real I'd probably never want it but since im not in any way attached to them nor think they're real I'd honestly be okay with anything that happens to them. to the audience, chris is just a character whom they can give a shitty day to without any actual real life consequences. because of the lack of consequences, they dont really give a shit and are okay with doing anything they'd normally never do. and with the added anonymity, they dont actually feel like what they're doing is real.
Man, Here We Are from Undertale was such a good choice for music. The eerie feel of the True Lab and the knowledge that the characters know of you, the player, is the reason that Undertale stands as my favorite game. It, as well, had some amazing wall breaks, especially during the Sans fight. The fact that he knows that you (once again, the player, not the character) are the "bad guy" of his story really makes you think about just how scary it would be if you figured out that you, too, were living in a game, completely unaware. Great story, editing, and overall video! Thanks for releasing this for us all to see!
My favourite fourth wall break is in Detroit: Become Human. Not only with Chloe deviating if you get the good ending but if a character dies, she will say "you let ____ die" and then something about the character. The most heartbreaking one being if Markus dies, she will say "Markus was our only hope...and you let him die...what will happen to our people now?" Like damn, talk about rubbing salt in the wound...
Now think about rA9, the "god" of deviants. It's believed that rA9 is the player, the player is the one that is beyond their world, and sets them free (optionally). You are literally responsible for a whole species, not only the characters that can die because of YOUR decisions. YOU are their god, and you shape their world to your liking with your decisions. Really makes you feel like a part of the game. I just finished playing it 2 days ago and was soooo relieved to see almost everyone, and all androids, get a good ending. Those decisions are really stressful, every dialog makes you think about what will happen if you choose any of the options
@@davidf2676 There were no "politics", just ideologies and morals. You can stand for certain morals and ideology and not have a political stand. Besides, if you don't feel like their lives matter, you could just make them all die and feel amused by it, or did u actually felt guilty of killing them, so u blamed the game "politics" to feel better?
The thing is they were in control of the situations so they laughed knowing the outcome (even when they were bad just because they chose it), when something unexpected happened they couldn't react the same. It happens a lot in normal situations just as well.
@@cristal1460 They would've believed that even when he's getting kidnapped, he won't be hurt as it's all an act. But the car hitting him likely translated as a freak accident and something that wasn't meant to happen.
I think that kinda shows that people are less aware or feel less guilty of it when someone gets damaged mentally than when they hurt someone physically
Like in social media, people keep insulting and harassing the victim to the point where the victim kill themselves. Then, they'll act like they care even though they are the one who did it. Pathetic. Truly pathetic.
Fun fact: Toby Fox originally wanted the player's face on the screen during the Omega Flowey battle, but had to scrap it for technical reasons. End result was still damn creepy, though.
It reminds me of that one website where it showed how people died like live or some shit and people were laughing at it in my school. I dont get how or why, there's no way that was nervous laughter
even in anonymous spaces i act as i would irl, most of the time so when i saw this “experiment” for the first time i was surprised, like why are people so cruel?! if i was given a choice, i’d like to give the guy something good like, if i’m not happy, why can’t someone else be, especially if i’m the reason same with games, i just can’t decide/do something when i know i need to, even with npc’s that rarely/one-time appear in the game i guess i just get too attached to characters
15:27 Undertale actually does this at the end of the genocide route: The screen goes fully black, so you can see your reflection in your computer screen.
Omg, honestly I wouldn't dare to make bad choices for Chris, like, I feel bad. Anonymous or not, I would feel terrible if I just ruined another human's evening. To me, as a writer, you slightly have more conscience to fictional characters and actually hesitate to kill them or make them have bad days.
Great video! Just wanted to mention that around the 2 minutes mark it was actually Milgram who did the shock study. Zimbardo was the Stanford prison study :)
Milgram’s experiments actually didn’t have that detail he mentioned about people wearing hoodies and seeing if that affects the outcomes of giving shocks! So while the setup is really similar (and probably like an adapted version of Milgram’s study) it was actually Zimbardo’s work like he mentioned in the video!
@@uhh9919 I missed that detail! I think it was based on the footage used from that section of the video being mainly from derren browns version of the milgram experiment so I just assumed that’s what it was referring to. Thanks for the correction :)
"we feel free to make fun of characters and events on the show..." *me, picking my words carefully in games do I don't hurt the character's feelings* -Uh.. Yea sure mate
Same here with any type of game with choices. We know their fake yet even when playing a game we still feel like shit when we make bad or selfish choices.
I usually tend to play the games twice. First I play as basically myself, in a serious manner, trying to be nice to every character and protect them as much as I can. And after I'm finished I play as an a** making the stupidest decisions and cussing every character out and basically trying to break the game just to see what would happen XD
@@shinigami9851 I guess it's because we represent our selves through the character we play, and as a result we feel for the character when they're hurt and targeted for the choices we make.
Fun fact the girl who made one-shot lives in my state and she used to regularly go to conventions to promote and sell her game and merch, she'd also bring her parents to help out and they where the most sweet and supportive parents you could ever see. She gave my friend a free copy of her game after we approached her and I told her how much I enjoyed the game. Super nice people.
That's wonderful, goodness! I found oneshot to be a really powerful experience and reading that comment helped get a better picture of the background behind it 💜
And thats why I strive to always make the "good/better" decision. Also, watching a lot of superhero movies/TV shows helped condition me to be brave, do the right thing, help others, & always be the kindness I wanna see in the world.
I thought it was called, “The Fourth Wall.” Because only 3 walls are visible, thus, the character(s) staring/communicating with the audience, is referred to as breaking it.
I have paranoia, i always feel like someone or something is watching me. So when a character looks at me i'm too afraid to look away because there is a 100% chance they'll reach through the screen and actually pull me into the game, but at the same time i *have* to turn around to see if that character isn't standing or hiding behind me, so i'll end up panicking and looking everywhere or just freeze and forget to breathe for a while. I also always put something over the camera of my device, hoping they can't see me. The fourth wall just really freaks me out and i love it. Edit: Wow I didn't know I already commented on this video. Anyway, I feel like for me it is the opposite. When on the internet or alone, I try to be as nice as possible, and when I'm with friends I get more disturbing amd I say more disturbing things. It's kinda weird. I dunno why I do it. Edit.2: I played Doki Doki Literature and I heard that in the end when she says your actual name, she calls you by your Steam account. I was playing on my little brother's account so I expected her to call me by his name. But then she called me by my name and I started freaking out. Until I found out she just calls you by your computer's name and I was like "Oh" Also I never deleted Monika. I was looking at her file ad trying to see what I could do with it. So I changed the file's name to "yoink" to see what would happen. And Monika started being like "Why would you do this to me?! I trusted you! It hurts!" and of course I felt bad but I was also kinda like "Woah calm down, all I did was call you Yoink."
Just reading this comment got me all paranoid. I don't have paranoia but when shit like that happens in a horror setting, you bet that imma check my back three times
I hate the fact that we find making someone's life a living hell amusing before something bad unexpectedly happens. edit: yo where did these likes come from?
People enjoy a bit too much the feeling of being in control. Or maybe I should say it's more of a human need...? Either way, you can see it in abusive family members who treat their relatives like shit, or are extremely controlling over their kids, or freak out once said kids stop fitting the restrictive mold the parents put them in. Seeking control over another human being is a somewhat common occurrence, as disturbing as it is. And when mob mentality comes into play, it can quickly turn into some Roman coliseum shit. De-individualization turns it into "a game", into "entertainment". Or at least, it does until something happens that breaks the mental dissonance between the viewer (real) and the "character" (not real), and suddenly the weight of reality crashes into your brain like Windows Vista after you tried to boot up the Sims' full expansion pack
Yo! There is one game that came out last year that I would have loved to include in this video had it been released at the time.
Luckily, I decided to make a whole episode on that game ;) here you go! - ua-cam.com/video/fOcjDxW1g4k/v-deo.html
Ooh yeah the first thing I thought when I watched this video was that boss fight where you have to use the files in your computer or use cards that online people make. And Inscryption is not even the nest indie game of 2021.Even though I didn't even play the game myself, I don't even enjoy card games, I'm so mad that it is so underappreciated

If they had the person look at the audience and mouth something along the lines “why” would really be the cherry on top for me.

Baconninja it wasn't staged tho
@@declaniii6324 Even if it's staged, that doesn't account for any trauma inflicted during the kidnapping.
a more subtle 4th wall break in Doki Doki Literature Club is that every single version of Monika’s poses all have her eyes looking directly at you
Now reading this just creeps me out😢
And she has a sprite(her neutral one, actually), where she is literally facing to you(both with eyes and body), instead of being a bit tilted like the other characters.
Yes, Natsuki and Yuri have player-facing sprites too, but they are not looking at the player in those sprites.
Also, she's the only one with black socks that are a higher length, an English name, and she also seems to be the only European girl (green eyes light brown hair) among the Dokis, Sayori looks the second most realistic but especially Natsuki and Yuri are super anime-like with their colorful eyes and hair. If you think about it, Natsuki and Yuri are not only anime-girl looking, but acting as well. Natsuki is the stereotypical Tsundere weeb girl, And Yuri is the sweet-turns-bloody masochistic Yandere. Their body types are also part of this stereotype, Natsuki being the short, petite hothead Tsundere, Yuri being the busty, tall, goddess-like bookworm. Compare them to Sayori and Monika who aren't as stereotypical at all. But yeah her front facing sprites are a huge giveaway to her weird behavior. Playing Doki doki again, Monika seems suspicious right from the get-go. She was made to stand out from the rest.
@@Chippur you mean Monika wearing black thigh highs, instead of white almost knee high socks like the other 3, right?
The fact that the game is made in such a way that you think that someone is actually spying on you makes me adore it. Simply plays with your thoughts and feelings.

Because in that situation i would think that Chris is an actor that knows that the people that kidnapped him are also actors and that they were just acting and pretending that chris was just pretending

it falls on that question that everyone has asked yourself atleast once.

True 4th wall breaking is when the loading screen comes up and you see yourself in the screen
I WANTED TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN IN THIS VIDEO. But I couldn’t guarantee everyone was sitting in the right lighting for it to happen haha
@@DarylTalksGames well I thought I saw myself for a sec at the end of the video, so I'd say you found a pretty clever solution to be honest lol
that would only work on a specific type of monitor (most monitors don't reflect properly) and with a specific type of lighting
visualizing this in my head sent shivers down my spine that is very creepy
Toby Fox originally wanted to do something similar to this, with the Omega Flowey boss fight. The face that pops up on the monitor was originally supposed to pull an image from your webcam, distort it, and then use it on the screen but toby changed it at the last minute.
I really like Flowey's line of "at least we're better than the sickos who just watch it happen" cause it's shot at the people who do the good ending in the game an look up the bad endings on UA-cam, which is exactly what I did.
Apparently that line only happens if the program registers screen recording software on the device. It's specifically made for the people who watch youtubers and streamers.
Rachel That’s actually not true, I played the genocide ending without recording, and flowey said the same thing to me
Mmm.... Don't like that
@@Rachel-og8jy Holy spagetti onions.
I got that "bad ending" as my first ending XD
Flowey sent chills to me but also satisfaction that a character confirmed these things.
Honestly, Doki Doki is a genius psychological horror masterpiece. The way the story flows and the tough moments you go through makes it feel you are responsible for EVERYTHING. You feel guilt, emotions, and you are not mentally / emotionally prepared. The more you progress, the more the characters watch you... (If you've played DDLC then you know what I mean)
Definitely, it was a terrifying experience.

One of my villagers in new leaf straight up asked me when the new animal crossing game was coming out (this was before new horizons came out). I was freaked
Lazy villagers legit prank you by saying they think they live in a game and list all the weird things in ac
@@nocctea lazy villagers are probably my favorite ngl. They're just a lot more interesting than some of the other personalities.
Mine has to be when they recognize in the first game that deleting your save pretty much kills everyone in the town so you essentially get told do you want to kill us all anytime you want to start fresh.
I saw a Tik tok where one villager was questioning the music and the nonsense behind Tom nook. I got real creeped out by that.
A few years ago I played a game called "Madrid Zombi". It's a choice book kind of thing where you lead your character to survive through a zombie apocalypse in the capital of Spain. Lots of fun until the character has a nightmare, wakes up and stares at a window...the music stops until finally he breaks down and hits the window, causing your phone to vibrate as font suddenly changes to a messy handwriting and your character questions YOU about your choices and how much control do you truly have. Not even mentioning the villain that literally taunts you personally, for example by giving the character a black king, then letting you play as him only to finish by showing a white king and telling you that he is eager to see the next move of your pawn

It's not anonimity that gives the "comfort zone", it is that we "know that there will be no serious consequences".
Which is causes by anonymity
I disagree. I'm sure 100% minus a fraction of one that, in the Experiment show Daryl showed, the audiences know there's going to be consequences; and not a light one. Yet, they still picked the worst option possible every time. Of course, many other factors included.
Anonymity removes our identity, and thus if we do something normally bad, no one knows. No one to take the consequences if nobody did it.

It doesn’t work for them, but it’s quite a shocking moment, especially when I was playing it through for the first time as someone who’s interests weren’t really in Undertale or Deltarune.
You can also still control it while it's in the cage if you look closely

This is actually a deliberate choice in the "Black Mirror" series, because every episode finishes with a cut to black, you can (more often than not) see yourself in the reflection of your screen, rendering your screen as a *Black Mirror*

when he spoke about doing stuff in private, or thinking whatever you want knowing it’s your brian, and only your brain; that hit hard. i never have any moments like that since i’m paranoid. i truly feel like someone knows what i’m thinking or doing. i believe there are micro cameras all round me, watching only me. i acknowledge it sounds stupid, but i really do believe that. i don’t know what’s wrong with me and i can’t get rid of it.
I also struggle with a similar feeling as you. I think it’s called psychosis. Something that might help is contacting a therapist
this is pretty common for people with religious trauma. idk if that helps at all
truman show??
What I really liked about ddlc is that the game knows when you're streaming. So Monica won't use what your windows username. She will call you something else and then directly speak to your viewers
wow thats real? I thought she just said the thing about the viewers either way and that was for just in case the player is streaming
*does anyone here know a link to a james charles pocket pussy?*

Smoove Shoa-dow it’s separate to the rest of black mirror on Netflix, but if you search black mirror or bandersnatch it should come up. You can essentially choose what happens in the episode when options come up
I do love the constant 4th wall breaking in control. Jesse addresses the entity in her head as "you" and thereby effectively talks to the player. You can even do a very interesting analysis of the game interpreting polaris as the player.
The clip of that person getting “kidnapped” made me feel sick to my stomach because as far as the audience knew, they know it’s Chris and that Chris doesn’t know that he is on a game show means the audience is essentially laughing at someone getting kidnapped
I felt sick the moment they selected a wrong choice causing Chris’s time at the bar miserable. Just why
@@CROWficial Because humans suck. Like, that’s sociopathic behavior. Not having empathy is a sign of psycho/sociopathy
Those people are shit
I got the same sick feeling, and it got even worse when he was hit by that car. It was like he was calling out for help, waiting for them to stop and notice he was being "kidnapped" but then he got hit by the car bc it was too short notice. He could've literally died and the majority of that audience wouldn't care. That entire show is like a cult.
I've never watched it nor even heard of it until this video, but now that I have, I'm questioning not only the sanity of the host, but why this show got approved in the first place
it was so cruel
I feel like my favorite kinds of 4th wall breaks aren't actually when they're used for spooks, but when they're used as emotional beats. The endings of Undertale and OneShot both ask you directly not to reset the game files, letting their characters keep their happy resolutions. It's always struck me as a curious example of reciprocity- the game 'believed in' your existence as a player, but now in return it wants you to 'believe in' its existence as more than a game as well.
Holy wow that's deep- and I totally agree!! It feels genuine and really sticks to me
oh when i finished the true pacifist route flowey's speech hit me *HARD*
i really wanted those guys to have their happy ending, so i haven't touched the game since...
i still have it buried in my files, inside a folder called "DONT RUIN THEIR HAPPY ENDING!"
i miss those guys, but i can't bear to take everything away from them!
oneshot is pretty much my favorite game for this reason. it uses the 4th wall break as a way to pull you into the story so fully. it's the only game i've ever completed (through solstice) and never picked up again because the story just means so much to me that i don't ever want to ruin it by playing again/overplaying it like i do with so many other games
Yeah I can’t bring myself to reset my undertale save file, haven’t touched it in years.
I hope frisk is having a good time with their family, even if it’s only an imaginary life
when they laughed at Chris being kidnapped I was so uncomfortable 😦
It looked like a cult 0-0”
I was like "yo wtf?"
I know I kept repeating “that’s disgusting”
The audience laughs because, from their perspective, no harm should be coming to Chris. Therefore, his feelings of terror aren't 'real' because they know, or at least think they do, about what's really happening. It's another version of Perspective Bias. If you have information about a given situation that another person doesn't have, you will react to that situation from the vantage of your perspective because it provides you with an advantage. When Chris got 'hit' by the car, that moment made the audience and Chris 'equal' in their perspective, making them lose that advantage, thus allowing them to feel horror and empathy for him, which they didn't have before.
The college experiment is really an examination of the layers by which depersonalization of oneself as well as another person takes place. The more abstract that person is in your mind, the more the consequences you make them go through become abstract ideas as well. Another thing to consider is sunk-cost and escalation. It is far easier to do a horrible thing the 100th time than it is the 1st time. The experiment starts off with the person not screaming in utter agony (you haven't been conditioned enough yet to ignore that response) but with each press of the button, and increase in scream, your sunk-cost investment in the 'morality' of the situation lessens, so that it becomes easier for you to press the next button, even as the screaming escalates. Also, while the patient's reaction changes with each press of the button, notice.....how all the buttons look exactly the same. Our brains can be 'tricked' into performing an action if the conditions of it are very similar to one we have previously engaged with. The experimental subject is only tasked with pressing a button or a lever...just like they did previously. Furthermore, with each encouragement from the 'authority figure' that its ok to keep pressing the buttons, a familiar pattern of behavior begins to emerge. Again, the experiment is very clear that the person only needs to press another button....and the way our brains think, we go "if I wasn't evil when I pressed the first button....how can I be evil now?" Subtle, abstract details are things most of us are not conditioned to be aware of....for reasons such as we don't crawl into a ball and start screaming when a thousand flakes of snow start falling.
Reminds me of nerve
My favorite thing about the fourth wall and breaking it is when the game actively uses you as a part of the story. Take Hello Charlotte as an example. It incorporates the audience itself, the players, into the story. In a really amazing way, too.

The thing that bothers me about the experiment is that fact that it's based on majority. There were probably a ton of people in that audience who voted for good outcomes but were outnumbered.
Those people were made to feel guilty for something they didn't even cause, they had to watch all these terrible things happening despite them trying to stop it.
Honestly, it's disgusting

A few years ago, someone insulted me in Turkish. I answered him also in Turkish. He was totally astonished and asked me, why I can talk Turkish. I answered, that I do not talk Turkish at all, I just read the subtitles, which left him even more confused.

Incredible video! I watched this video when it initially came out over 2 years ago and it inspired me to take psychology as a school subject, and now I'm in the process of writing my final HS psychology essay on how video games create a fear response in people which was inspired by this video.
There’s a mobile game called “Progress to 100” and it makes you do stuff like plug your phone in, have someone call you, put it in airplane mode, and at one point it even makes you physically go outside and take 10000 steps, I think one of the levels is actually passed by leaving the game and not playing it for a few minutes, that’s the entire level
there's some ads for those annoying games and the games make you flip your phone, turn up your volume, among other things, v interesting in terms of 4th wall breaking
Is it the one that cost 0.99 cents?
Lmao i'll just sit my lazy ass down and not move an inch claiming i did. Idk why i thought it'll end with jumping off a bridge.

@Allen Andrich We care so much about your opinion.
No actually I really dont. If you dont have something nice to say, dont say it. Acting all self righteous is just so extravagantly stupid in more ways than one.
Allen Andrich oh you must be fun at parties innit?
It’s kinda ironic how this video correlates to how you’re so much of a dipshit behind a screen @Allen Andrich
Allen Andrich I agree it’s a lot of work but no effort most gacha vids are just bull shit that their community like
Most gacha vids are just two people having s*x or a group of people escaping prison
Gacha is all bull shit and having s*x or kissing
Navorry Leaf Not a single thing you just said is true. Yes there are some dirty gacha videos that aren’t appropriate, but those are dirty romance stories probably made by teens who’s hormones are going crazy, and the majority of gacha videos aren’t like that. And yeah there bunch of terrible gacha videos, but there are also really amazing gacha videos. Judging gacha life based on those is like judging western music by jojo siwa, that’s the more toxic side, and just like everything else, the toxic sides usually appear more. And by the way, some people put hours apron hours of effort into gacha videos (you have no idea how long it takes, to take the photos, and then to edit them into a video). People who actually try to make quality videos write scripts, spends tons of time designing characters and background characters, does more frames to make it more smooth, and sometimes people would do fully animated videos. Oh and also, gacha isn’t only about making stories, people also do lots of art edits, edit memes, tweening, and actual animation. Through gacha life, I have learnt to properly write scripts and bring characters to life, I have also crazily improved my English skills through gacha life, I know how to edit videos, I have heavily improved my art, and I’m really good at voice acting. I do post gacha (on a separate account) and I haven’t posted a single video (except for my really bad first ones) that fits your description. So yeah. Lol wasn’t expecting this to be long, but I’m hella bored anyways so why not.
I feel like ddlc has one of the best wall breaks ever. Seeing her say my name had me scared beyond belief
except with a channel called laurenzside. instead of “lauren” they always say “laure” in all the games and it’s hilarious honestly-
but yeah apart from that it’s super freaky
if someone livestreams the last act of the game (when youre in the timeless room with monika) on OBS I think but it could be different, she acknowledges it, addresses the viewers directly and even jumpscares the streamer and viewers
I haven’t played and if they said my name my computer is gonna become my new basketball
You and me and her is better than ddlc in terms of fourth wall breaking
I played it for the first time on my mom's old PC. I laughed when I realised why Monika called me Wendy
For any form of media to execute the 4th wall troupe well has to be subtlety which is why a game like Doki, which I and many others presumed it to be a normal visual novel game, ended up being straight fear (I think it was the first time of my life I experienced extreme paranoia lmao).
One of the greatest 4th wall concept ive heard was made by my professor who was a comic artist. She wrote this character to be so despisable that readers would comment scornful words regarding her for jokes and laughs but then she set her up for a redeem arc and having her face to face with the words of the readers copy pasted into the comic. and the character broke down in massive tears
Holy damn I would love to see that comic
don't know if this is, but it sounds like the webtoon, room of swords, where kody kills gyrus but it was actually to save him.
I always kinda wanted to see something where that happens. Weird to see it described so accurately.
Sflr! The author goes by the name dedasaur, i cant rmb which comic tho :( but i think u can read their works at tapas
@@rynne1104 webtoon? Manga? Or novel or what?
This taps into why personalized ads are creepy as well.
I do not fuck with personalised adds. Late stage capitalism...is basically just stalking but for money
Especially when you turn OFF personalized adds yet you still get an add about something you were recently talking about ...
UA-cam be having crazy ads!
Yep, it kinda reminds me how the Soviets tried to control people through Propaganda and messages meant to give people a certain reaction. I thought were beyond that :(
I dont personally get creeped out by personalized ads?
If a character looks in the camera I just look directly into their eyes to assert dominance.

*T-POSE :>*

this is the way
Seeing characters break through the 4th wall is super cool but kinda scary at the same time… you don’t realize how much control you really have and it feels like so much more then just some video game your playing when they interact with you and all the choices you’ve made up until that point..
One thing i actually LOVED about Doki Doki literature Club is that they decided NOT to use the "real name text" when you have recording software open and instead go for a simple jumpscare and Monika talking to your audience. This small detail which lets you have your privacy, but still breaks the fourth wall is GREAT.
That jumpscare scare the shit out of me because that caught me off guard
Omg i didnt even think of it that way!
Wait, I just thought that it was to freak out the audience. That's awesome!
Ohhh so that’s why I don’t remember her revealing my name! Interesting!
@@Robman92 there is a great video by "TechRules" where he analyzed all scares in the game and deconstructed how it works. Was suoer interesting to see!
Reason I don't do well with eye contact:
Getting jumpscared countless times as a kid by family with videos.
and they always laugh at your reaction...
i feel ya...
Frick, now I know the reason I was afraid at eye contacts before.
That’s a cause for eye contact issues? Damn.
I still remember the sheer pit in my stomach I felt when Monica called me by my real name. I chose the name Obama as a joke, so it really was like a protective bubble being burst to suddenly have my safe joke name replaced my real actual name.
Sky Snow Same, I used “uwu” and I was literally shaken to the core when she used my real name
By a coding perspective, how does that work? That has to bypass some sort of security rule..?
@Dragonett I think it tries to find the name of your Steam account, since most Steam accounts use their real first names instead of their alibi. Or, it can be your email since it is usually, “ Firstnamehere@gmail.com”
Edit: It probably doesnt bypass some sort of security rule because the AI is only looking at your first name.
Oh yeah woo yeah not your steam name, but rather the name of the user PC your using, which is much more likely your real name rather than your steam one
What game is this lol
I remember playing some game in which your character constantly got warning sings that they are being watched and it's all kinda creepy a bit but then they suddenly make one photo from your PC appear in the game and ask you do you recognize it. Scared the shit out of me
Guy: *gets kidnaped
The adiance: funniest shit i ever seen
Bruh facts
When u are not a good gay
He turned himself into a pickle funniest shit i ever seen
"he turned himself into a pickle"
That scared me, how they laughed at a guy getting freaking kidnapped
I remember watching a live stream for Doki Doki LC. I watched them play it until the end. At the end, Monika (while starring directly at the camera without emoting) said “Wait, you’re recording this live right now. Aren’t you? Umm… Hi everyone” (talking to the live chat). This completely freaked me and the streamer out. Definitely caught me off guard.
oh yeah, i’ve seen that before. i was not freaked out because i knew stuff like that could happen in ddlc, but i was pretty … impressed, i guess? maybe a bit surprised, i loved seeing that fsr
0_0
Oh and she does the little jumpscare after aswell?? Ddlc is such an amazing game I could talk about it foreverr
One streamer i saw had an amazing reaction to that, she was leaned all the way back in her chair, silent for like 20 seconds straight
The best part is that it also functions as a safety measure for streamers: if the player is recording, Monika will just address that fact for the spook; but if the player is not recording, then Monika will start casually referring to the player with their real name (from their windows account) for a more thoroughly terrifying and personal spook
@@dymaxion3988 jokes on her, I use a fake name or numbers as my email
I know I'm not a part of that audience but seriously, I can't even imagine making some of these choices to hurt someone just because I'm annonymous. It feels kind of sickening.
@「ꪑiꪖꪮꪊ」 you think it's sickening because it's considered a taboo, imagine if you can violate any law and people actually compliment your actions due to anonimousity, why would ever stop? Why would you ever hmm, not wanna steal your dad's wallet or read your crush's diary or things that are much *much*
worse than this? That's also why keywords like murder, rape, cult, etc are not present if you haven't typed them once in your search engine although you have already written all of the words inside the search bar
@「ꪑiꪖꪮꪊ」 that's the point. Also, you haven't seen yourself doing it, how would you be so sure you would never commit to such a thing? The reason why 4chan users are more offensive, invasive and often infamous for leaking information from other people is because they are anonymous
@「ꪑiꪖꪮꪊ」oh well, you still have to see for yourself, this is all just speculation
@「ꪑiꪖꪮꪊ」 I'm normal, I'm just saying although it's staged, the situation is very real
@𝘴tꪖr ꪑiꪖꪮꪊ i thought about for a while and i realised the people probably treated like a story with no real consequences and i can actually relate. a much more toned down version would be me preferring to olaf dead in frozen 2. if olaf was real and frozen was real I'd probably never want it but since im not in any way attached to them nor think they're real I'd honestly be okay with anything that happens to them. to the audience, chris is just a character whom they can give a shitty day to without any actual real life consequences. because of the lack of consequences, they dont really give a shit and are okay with doing anything they'd normally never do. and with the added anonymity, they dont actually feel like what they're doing is real.
Man, Here We Are from Undertale was such a good choice for music. The eerie feel of the True Lab and the knowledge that the characters know of you, the player, is the reason that Undertale stands as my favorite game. It, as well, had some amazing wall breaks, especially during the Sans fight. The fact that he knows that you (once again, the player, not the character) are the "bad guy" of his story really makes you think about just how scary it would be if you figured out that you, too, were living in a game, completely unaware.
Great story, editing, and overall video! Thanks for releasing this for us all to see!
My favourite fourth wall break is in Detroit: Become Human. Not only with Chloe deviating if you get the good ending but if a character dies, she will say "you let ____ die" and then something about the character. The most heartbreaking one being if Markus dies, she will say "Markus was our only hope...and you let him die...what will happen to our people now?" Like damn, talk about rubbing salt in the wound...
Now think about rA9, the "god" of deviants. It's believed that rA9 is the player, the player is the one that is beyond their world, and sets them free (optionally). You are literally responsible for a whole species, not only the characters that can die because of YOUR decisions. YOU are their god, and you shape their world to your liking with your decisions. Really makes you feel like a part of the game. I just finished playing it 2 days ago and was soooo relieved to see almost everyone, and all androids, get a good ending. Those decisions are really stressful, every dialog makes you think about what will happen if you choose any of the options

The thing is they were in control of the situations so they laughed knowing the outcome (even when they were bad just because they chose it), when something unexpected happened they couldn't react the same. It happens a lot in normal situations just as well.

@@cristal1460 They would've believed that even when he's getting kidnapped, he won't be hurt as it's all an act. But the car hitting him likely translated as a freak accident and something that wasn't meant to happen.
I think that kinda shows that people are less aware or feel less guilty of it when someone gets damaged mentally than when they hurt someone physically
Like in social media, people keep insulting and harassing the victim to the point where the victim kill themselves. Then, they'll act like they care even though they are the one who did it. Pathetic. Truly pathetic.
I know this is years old now but randomly mixing in the occasional fourth wall break outro, would be just top fucking tier.

Great video! Just wanted to mention that around the 2 minutes mark it was actually Milgram who did the shock study. Zimbardo was the Stanford prison study :)
Milgram’s experiments actually didn’t have that detail he mentioned about people wearing hoodies and seeing if that affects the outcomes of giving shocks! So while the setup is really similar (and probably like an adapted version of Milgram’s study) it was actually Zimbardo’s work like he mentioned in the video!

all the time, kinda like how Jim from the office looks at the camera lol
Hahah goddamn, I do that too. I wonder...
eat the rich yup. Ya never know!
And thats why I strive to always make the "good/better" decision. Also, watching a lot of superhero movies/TV shows helped condition me to be brave, do the right thing, help others, & always be the kindness I wanna see in the world.
I thought it was called, “The Fourth Wall.” Because only 3 walls are visible, thus, the character(s) staring/communicating with the audience, is referred to as breaking it.
that's what breaking the fourth wall is
Your thought is absolutely correct
It is. The vid simply took the term in a deeper, psychological sense rather than just its technical term.
Haveiszal Faroqie oh
The three walls are the walls of the set on the right, left and behind the characters. The fourth wall is the screen.
I have paranoia, i always feel like someone or something is watching me. So when a character looks at me i'm too afraid to look away because there is a 100% chance they'll reach through the screen and actually pull me into the game, but at the same time i *have* to turn around to see if that character isn't standing or hiding behind me, so i'll end up panicking and looking everywhere or just freeze and forget to breathe for a while. I also always put something over the camera of my device, hoping they can't see me. The fourth wall just really freaks me out and i love it.
Edit: Wow I didn't know I already commented on this video.
Anyway, I feel like for me it is the opposite. When on the internet or alone, I try to be as nice as possible, and when I'm with friends I get more disturbing amd I say more disturbing things. It's kinda weird. I dunno why I do it.
Edit.2:
I played Doki Doki Literature and I heard that in the end when she says your actual name, she calls you by your Steam account. I was playing on my little brother's account so I expected her to call me by his name. But then she called me by my name and I started freaking out. Until I found out she just calls you by your computer's name and I was like "Oh"
Also I never deleted Monika. I was looking at her file ad trying to see what I could do with it. So I changed the file's name to "yoink" to see what would happen. And Monika started being like "Why would you do this to me?! I trusted you! It hurts!" and of course I felt bad but I was also kinda like "Woah calm down, all I did was call you Yoink."

This is me when I'm watching a UA-cam video and the sound comes a little too distant for me to work out it's coming from my headphones.
Yep this happens to me all the time
When playing games
That are cute but eventually turn hellishly creepy
I hate the fact that we find making someone's life a living hell amusing before something bad unexpectedly happens.
edit: yo where did these likes come from?
It was so scary. I was shocked people would choose the worst option.
@@jamiephilip79 It wasn't really scary, just really surprising.
Everyone has a piece of the devil in them

People enjoy a bit too much the feeling of being in control. Or maybe I should say it's more of a human need...? Either way, you can see it in abusive family members who treat their relatives like shit, or are extremely controlling over their kids, or freak out once said kids stop fitting the restrictive mold the parents put them in. Seeking control over another human being is a somewhat common occurrence, as disturbing as it is.
And when mob mentality comes into play, it can quickly turn into some Roman coliseum shit. De-individualization turns it into "a game", into "entertainment".
Or at least, it does until something happens that breaks the mental dissonance between the viewer (real) and the "character" (not real), and suddenly the weight of reality crashes into your brain like Windows Vista after you tried to boot up the Sims' full expansion pack
