Everyone left the player for dead
But only one never left him
The bug.
He could have escaped any time
But he chose not to
Lanthan -Aka Loli- He’s a good friend
Lanthan -Aka Loli- because tiny bug Tim is the MVB most valuable bug
Lanthan -Aka Loli- Salvador also tried to come help us he tried to shut down the power to come save us and Charlotte bakes us an f-ing cake and we let her die! And by staying happy we tried to ensure our happy buddie’s safety but to no avail they may have left us but we never left them.

@@TrollWalterWhite Don't be fake-deep.
i mean everyone's talking about each person's relationship to you but like bug friend couldve left through the mail slot at any point and didnt choose to leave so i think thats pretty nice
ella c acciacca lmao fr fr
friendlyness
He’s a real one
Bug boi is best boi
His collision model wouldn’t let him
I think it's important to notice the behaviors of each person. As it's been noted, the virus is depression, yet each character represents a coping mechanism.
Mr. Smiley is denial, fake happiness, the mask of joy above the deep meaningless abyss that he feels. He's noted to be FORCED to be happy, or else his family would die. That's sometimes how it can feel, to a depressed person; everyone else's lives and emotions depend on your mask.
Salvador is escapism, the longing to be away from it all. I took great interest in the moment that Dr. Money calls him a "free spirit," which is a common way to imply that someone smokes a lot if marijuana. Salvador's grand trip may have very well been just him waltzing to a nearby pool, which would explain how he took two days to reach it, but only half of one to return, despite not mentioning any new means of travel. It could also explain why he didn't care about not having his family, and in a minor tone, why he cared so much for specifically the scents of his hometown. It was the only pleasant thing he would notice with sober senses.
Charlotte is isolationism. Her loneliness, locked away, with nothing to do, nowhere to go, and nobody to turn to, is a telltale sign of someone who needs help, but would never reach out for it. She wanted the music to lighten the mood, and gave the prisoner the poster... not because it was old, and not because it was locked away and useless, but istead because of how she said it wasn't cheerful. She wanted to be far away from any physical manifestation of her deep-rooted sorrows.
Even Mr. Money himself is a form of material dissociation. His greed allowed him to spread the tendrils of depression worldwide. It was never enough, and he developed an addiction to money, because he shut out meaningful connections with everyone else, seeing them as business partners, if not cash cows, and the only thing he could think about was what others could give him.
but what would the organs represent? coping with substance abuse only to subsequently overdose?
@@punch444 I mean it could mean anything, but I don't think it inherently must be drugs. Certainly included, but for a counterexample, just to say it may have a broader meaning, I knew a lady who was around twenty who was diagnosed with clinical insanity at a very young age. She had depression, and would physically cut her own body to make herself slimmer, to fit her ideals which were caused by body dysmorphia
Considering the entire concept of physically replacing their own organs, I believe that it was probably representative of self-blame, which is ultimately the final straw of depression, and the bridge to suicide. Everyone had the desperate need to abandon their old organs, and obtain new ones as a replacement, slowly dissolving their original body to fit the very literal ideal, being working organs, required to survive.
Self-modification can be both physical and mental, but the replacement of organs is a very overt change to the body, and from personal experience, the idea of it nearly brought a tear to my eye... but yes, it absolutely could mean drug abuse and overdose, because those organs cost an arm and a leg (perhaps literally) and slowly killed people over time, yet even when people knew this, they still chose to buy them to provide temporary happiness. That, to me, does sound a lot like substance abuse
Truly a masterpiece written and directed by a man more talented than I will probably ever be.
Everything you described is correct.
@@derpyduck264 i dont know if there was really symbolism to the organs. i think it was mostly a vehicle for dr moneys cruelty; creating a virus to disrupt lives, creating a vaccine for people to buy to give him money and "solve" the problem he caused, only for that solution to come with the caveat of shutting down organs. dr money only saw another cash cow in the need for working organs, so he sold what he could even though they didn't work, just to squeeze a bit more money out of the dying masses before they were gone. its likely they werent even organs, just cheap things that could be sold for lots of money.
@@derpyduck264 I know it's a bit late but the organs are a reference to Exoptable Money where the main character of that game sells organs that comes out a "strange money machine".
Feels different now when you realized this game was a call for help.
It wasn't, the creator died later because his other games never got popular.
Stop replying to me it's been a year
No seriously
@@l0sts0ul89he committed suicide. This was an artist manifestation of his anguish.
@@hithere5553 yeah but that was AFTER this game, like months or maybe even a year. He did it because none of his other works ever became successful.
@@l0sts0ul89suicide is never so cut and dry. people may be struggling for years before it happens.
@@l0sts0ul89 thats simplifying depression far too much, you dont just get depression from one specific circumstance. With the tone of this game, its very obvious that he was already struggling pretty hard with depression and only over time was it too hard for him to struggle with, to say that he only killed himself because his games weren't being recognized is silly and disrespectful.
The creator of this game "Werpol" died last year.
So sad, he was very talented, may he rest in peace.
Wait what!? Oh dear..May he rest in peace.
F
@@GeneralCitizen It's true. Robert ended his life in June last year.
I...
I didn't think anything else could make me feel so bad. I was wrong.
What if these games where just what he was experiencing throughout his last few years of life. Loneliness, never in control of the world around him, isolated. Hits deep man
This video is not for the faint of heart. I have never played a game like this before and I don't think I ever will. There are many heavy subjects so get ready for an adventure unlike any other...
MARK! U R AWESOME FIRST COMMENT ON THIS POST AHAHAHAHAHAHAH
nice poetry mark so good XD
First!!!
Mark can you come to Sacramento?
Oh okay...I LOVE YOU MARKIPLIER!!!
Charlotte's gramophone is one of the most upsetting parts of this game, not just because of the somber tone the music sets, but because of what it could've accomplished; had Charlotte kept playing it Salvador could've found her, giving Charlotte the will to go on living and she potentially could have saved Salvador from acting brashly when he sets out to free the main character, maybe saving his life in the process as well.
They both felt lonely, but if Charlotte had waited, if she kept playing the music, Salvadore or us could’ve met them. It’s amazing how much we can care for people we have no appearance to associate them with. I wish we could’ve eaten the cake with Charlotte or finally shaken Salvadore’s hand. Have that cup of tea or carve chess pieces next to the fireplace. If only, but like Charlotte and Salvadore said and wanted, we’re free.
@@cidercake4373 and if only we knew that the creator of this and other games, such as "Goodbye World", really had left a message behind, when he said
"I hope you enjoy the game. I doubt it because it isn't fun. Like seriously not at all. I hope you keep going anyway. Always keep going. Don't give up like me. You never know how much more time you have"
He committed suicide... 😢
@@Meyus_ That’s so sad😢
@@BlueRoseShilloh I know 🥀
@@cidercake4373 you seriously said them. Cmon man
Yknow the worst part is that if Charlotte had played the music for a little bit longer. If she had played that song again, Salvador would have found her. And they could be friends. And she would be alive. And he would be with her. And then when we left, we would see them. We would get to see both of them alive and well
Yeah. This game breaks my heart every time I watch it.
You never know, Dr. Money's men could've screwed them both.
@@Sifter2K
Didn't Dr. Money said that only the main character and him remained?
@@ConfusionUwU Nope
yeah but considering how high the elevator the mc was in, it'd probably be very painful for Charlotte's ears
If you make a game that has no physical people, voice acting and is entirely comprised of letters and Minecraft graphics, and at the end you have people that are physically crying over it, you've done something right.
Not something
......Everything
very true
Yes, yes, I so agree.
Yes yes if you cried over this go see a doctor. Seriously.
This is nothing to do with the comment but I love your profile pic
This comment is probably lost, but I love that when he got halfway through the game, when it got darker, he stopped playing the ingame games and started just waiting, and waiting, for a letter.
Connor CSMM hey there buddy, in ARK we just got tek armor so it’s cool
We won't let it be lost. You are the 3rd comment. Be glad lad!
Probably because this game is story based, especially in the halfway point
It shows how much isolation can affect ones mind...
yo, I have the same name as you dood. . . this is random. . .
Came to back this video after watching the (currently new) "my eyes deceive" somehow the ending to that is worse than this.
Yeah, it's insane how much this game has left an impression on Mark even after 8 years, and tbh even it lurks in my mind.
I think about this game so often, when he mentioned it in the new vid I immediately came back here to re watch
Samesies! I was aldready thinking about Presentable liberty while he was playing the new game but then he went ahead and mentioned it
Same here man, both of these games hit like a truck.
yeah, god damn. I’m so glad Mark played this cause wow it was such an experience. I came from the “My eyes deceive me” game too!
I am back seven years later, and I just discovered that someone (not the original developer) is remaking Presentable Liberty in high-definition graphics, there is a Steam page, Discord server, everything! It is a pretty small community, but it deserves so much attention. I remember watching this when I was just a kid, and it was the first time I was ever so emotionally effected by a piece of fiction. I really hope this remake gets more attention, it would be a nice tribute to Wertpol, god bless him.
That's very sweet :0
I come back to this video on occasion, because it means a lot to me even though it is SO depressing
I'll check that out, thank you for sharing :D 💜
Will say, I tried to play Wertpol's menagerie/archive game after finding out, but my computer sucks so I couldn't get more than one ending in, and I hope to replay it.
Hope all is well
Could you send me the link to their server ?
I hope the remake goes smoothly!! I wish the dev luck
I don't care. Somebody said they made this but they didn't, even if they were a developer. Robert Brock was the actual creator, so they lied. They stole credit for it. This is no different. Remaking it or not,I don't support anyone doing anything to this game. It was fine on it's own with it's current 100% pristine condition when it was released.
@@Imtrane15 ok
This game affected him so much that when a Markiplier fangame came out that had a "Charlotte's Cake" healing item, he said he didn't want to eat it because it was Charlotte's cake.
Just one example of what a deeply moving game this is.
what fangame?
living_underneath_my_skin aaaaaah dream island??? Or something??? The one with very little saving. He like goes into a video game and ends up fighting his draw my life
@@dystopyxrose I think Hearts and Heroes is the game with the cake because it has Presentable liberty as one of the levels.
It was dream.exe I believe
@@onyourleft4194 my mistake, it is Dream.exe with the cake

"I'm just sitting in room, alone, doing a let's play of a game, talking to a camera. You guys can't respond. Are you responding? Are you getting this message? Are you able to hear me? Cause I'm here in my pastry shop, all alone. I got my ukelele> I can't hear you guys. Are you there? Is anyone listening to me?"
Damn, that's heavy... Game made Mark question his own let's play.
That's right about when the depression of the story hit me hard.
He reached the point of checking if his mic was working, to see if we could actually listen to him.
Deep.
G11B HEY! FNAF is scary!!! >:(
G11B that's a different story entirely. I just think his acting at that part got me depressed. Fnaf is not that scary
That, my dear friends, is called acting.
It is just so shocking how much this game affected Mark… Seeing him slowly get more and more lonely and depressed…hearing him calling for Charlotte, desperately pleading for her to stay alive for just a few more minutes… screaming meaninglessly at the walls trying so hard to let Charlotte know that he could hear her music…it’s so chilling, this game is so underrated for something that’s so powerful.
This is my favorite video of Markiplier for a reason. The game is perfect and truly deserves an award. Everything was absolutely perfect.
I rewatched this video so much for comfort, back round noise, etc as a teen.
Going back to it years later is so nostalgic
it can't exactly get an award because the creator (apparently) committed suicide
I still think bad end teather is better
@@leewardly He actually did it. You should erase the “(apparently)” part now that you know this information.
@@leewardly Posthumous awards exist, so it’s still perfectly allegeable for an award
Oh look, Mark got a copyright strike because the game used a piece of music from 1827. Good job, youtube. Real cool of you.
Wait-Wha?¿
how the heck
why youtube....
I'm guessing it was Charlottes gramophone? (Starts: 34:11)
He got a clam not a strike.
A strike can get his channel deleted, a clam means he gets no money from the video.
I couldn't help but feel so happy when Mark heard the gramophone and said, "I hear it! God, Charlotte, I hear it!" as he laughs happily, "Charlotte I hear it! I hear it Charlotte! God, Charlotte, how can I tell her I hear it? How can I tell anybody I hear it?" he was so happy...
but when the music stopped and his smile faded, it's like a stone dropped on your head and heart. Seriously, he looks so sad...
btw, the way he was so freaked out on the last day as charlotte began saying I'm sorry, and saying she's dying and such...
it's sad... so sad...
MY HEART. (Just finished re-watching this...)
lemon kirby
I felt the same way. Almost cried.
I started crying right about when he said "I hear it!" It was all so beautiful and tragic.
Same, I cried. I don't even know why I watched it. I knew it was gonna be sad...but I didn't think it was gonna be that sad. I just wanted to watch Markiplier
Anybody else come back here after watching Mark play my eyes deceive?

Sal and Charlotte were the one thing keeping you through confinement. They both disappear the day you are given freedom.
“I hope you enjoy the game. I doubt it because it isn’t fun. Like seriously not at all. I hope you keep going anyway. Always keep going. Don’t give up like me. You never know how much more time you have.” After knowing the creator of Presentable Library killed himself, this feels like a message from him to the people playing the game. Rest In Peace.
Oh God...
Shoot dude that’s an actual suicide note…
whats really tough is, is that i could really imagine myself doing something exactly like that. making a game or something with a good message, with an ending like that.. thats why it connects so well to me
This is. Well shit
Wtf seriously?
This game has the similar feel of depression. Everyone wanting you to be happy but never really helping. The people you need are to far away. Just isolation.
A description of me
You had me at *depression*
It's why I find it so frustrating that there are those who think depression is a choice. Who would ever choose this? Nobody would. That only adds to the isolation when people are so ignorant.
Well…the maker of this game apparently took his own life…
@@natsudragneel2258 Seriously!? Well no wonder this game relates to depression.
This and iron lung perfectly incapsulate the feeling of loneliness and dread in totally different yet similar ways these games are *art* and the fact that robert took his life after making this really makes it poetic in such a sad yet beautiful way R.I.P Robert Brock
This game had such an impact on him because the game emotionally manipulates the player into developing an emotional connection to NPC's that you never see - you feel desperate, become dependent on their kindness, and naturally have an emotional kick in the gut when they're all taken away from you.
The game is written as a psychological horror, and unlike most such games, it inflicts horror on you not by doing horrible things to you, but just by taking away things you like.
The saddest part is that the developer made this game while depressed, and ended up taking his life when seeing all the games he made went unnoticed, it reminds me of Charlotte in a way.
This is why seeing people's dreams and expectations not being met really saddens me.
I hope he truly rests in peace. 💐
@@KadenzJade6447 Truly may he Rest In Peace
What makes it more sad is that when you listen to the symptoms and statistics of this “virus” in the game, when you fully realize that the virus is actually depression
Rest In Peace, Wertpol. God it’s so sad.
Not to mention the happy buddy’s final message is essentially a suicide note
I love how serious all the voices became near the end of the game as he slowly became more attached and worried for all the characters. At the beginning their voices were very exaggerated and fake because it was all a game, but at the end they became real and serious, and sad, because suddenly this wasnt a game, and these faceless people mattered.
At the beginning is super annoying, I'm starting the video and it's hard to keep watching it
@@antoniorivas9820 definitely, especially after watching Jacks let's play and knowing the story.
Amazing how you can get attached to someone you can't see or even hear for that matter as the only way of communicating is through letters
26:05 From what I can tell, by his body language and facial expressions, this is the EXACT moment where the game sunk its claws in for Mark. The frantic, haphazard movements, reasoning with himself, rationalizing that clearly the mic was to blame. But if you pause at this exact moment, the look on his face just says it all. From here, it's just a downward spiral. Crazy how a video game can just strike you to the core like thiz.
This was my first gameplay of Mark that I watched. At the time, whenever I tried to watch his gameplays, I thought he was too loud for me and I had never liked him before. But during that gameplay I saw that he was empathetic and cared about the characters. I've been a fan of his ever since. He is LOUD, but it doesn't bother me anymore.
Fax
From 2024 to 9 years ago, I feel like he’s changed lol. Like he’s always been loud, but nowadays he’s not (pull out ukelele mid sentence and start singing) lol, mark still a W tho
@@Nex15o6agree, Markiplier isn't as loud ,but he still the best goofy voice actor that we love. He have heart and actually big brain when it comes to poetry lores about life.
Lol when he said "how can all this happen in three days?" That hit.
Two weeks ago, my brother was going to visit me at my college in Canada. (I'm from the US) That was Friday.
Thursday, Trump implemented the travel ban to all of Europe. We decided he should stay home to avoid the risk of getting trapped in Canada.
Friday, my school closed for a week.
Saturday, they canceled classes for the rest of the year, and I came home- afraid that they might close the border.
Monday, the border was closed to all but Canadian and American citizens.
Then over the next week, all schools, and non-essential businesses were closed, and everyone was told to stay home.
Crazy how the Thursday before, I was looking forward to my brother visiting, and to the rest of the school year. Just three days later, The country was closed, school is cancelled, and I was driving home with as much as I could fit in my car.
THREE DAYS
wow thanks for buying up everything and not leaving others with stuff
@High Definition Stockpiling*, thank me later for the translation.
That will cause food shortages and more problems.
@@mcs914 I don't quite understand if this is a joke. But how are you certain that this guy is stockpiling?!
Last August my biggest worry was my social anxiety and going back to middle school. I had no idea my parents would get a divorce, my dog would be diagnosed with Lukemia and shortly after be put down, my theater show we had been working for my last season with my second home, which was the theater, my only friends were there. The show was cancelled, turns out the only friend on my team is moving, she was my best friend, and I’m so alone. My life feels so empty. It’s just me alternating weeks between my mom and dads house, my dog is gone forever, I’ll never make any new memories with him. There’s no school I’m just stuck at home alone with no one to talk to other than my family. I guess my life isn’t all that bad, I still have them, and I’ve been going outside and I’ve been exercising and relaxing and getting better sleep
Sorry this was so long I wanted to vent. Also I’m sorry to hear about your brother, I hope your family reunites soon, I’m still optimistic about 2020. I may just be looking for things to be upset about right now this game is putting me in a sad mood, I actually have had a great week
And I hope things turn up for you too c,:
Olivia this hits hard especially right now me and my family were driving around and having a great day outside the next day we were shopping at 11:30 at night to get supplies next thing I know we’re stuck at home.
bruh ain’t no one gotta talk how much of a real one salvador is? dying just to save the player?
And he built you a table so you wouldn't feel so lonely, what a lad 😔👊
jesus christ. more respects for salvadore. when mr money told us he died i couldnt feel more angry sad and everything. hate for mr money. sad for salvadore. he was the first one who talked to us. and the last that cared for us.
Salvadore is a myth
I don’t think I have anything to say about the game at all
Really tho
3 messengers
1 scares you (mr. smiley)
1 actually makes you somewhat happy (sal)
And 1 makes you sad (charlotte)
They are all contradicting each other perfectly
I love it
10 months late ik but you forgot about the evil orchestrator mr money
@@thesneakyturtelthat’s DR. Money to you, sir! He didn’t get a degree in Money School just to be known as a “Mr.”
@@beckmania1066 oh yes you're right dear friend, my apologies for misaddressing dr money like that
Mr. Smiley is sadder I think. From the start you know everything but he doesn't know you know and you have no way of talking to him and stopping him from slowly killing himself.
I think Charlottes notes were scary. I saw Smileys ending coming, considering how he wrote and how his happiness was only caused by blackmail and obviously Dr. Money was lying(I kinda assumed smth happened to the kids already), so seeing Charlottes notes about how she was giving up already-how she was doubting anyone else was even getting her notes-it scared me that she wouldn’t make it. I was right to fear that. In the end, I kinda blamed myself for not getting to her in time, but it was all of our faults. Or, rather, it wasn’t any of our faults. Sometimes things don’t work out.. sometimes you can’t save someone who needs you. It’s just the way the river flows.
Rest in peace, Robert Brock. You created something beautifully simplistic and disturbing.
That Salvador letter ending with “I am on my way” hits different. All that matters to him is getting his friend out. He gives everything to free him. It hurts so much.
There's no funny connotation with this comment
its just sad
Grabnok The Destroyer nah the “Goodbye.” Hits different. Tear jerker.
Ikr
what hurts more was that he had no family in the first place.
he wanted to believe someone was his friend, that someone actually cared about him so badly
he didnt even know the strangers name, yet he was so engaged to help him
And happy-buddy was just the creator, in the end, when he said goodbye. The real man. The creator committed suicide in 2018. He was depressed, and ended.
Best part of this. Markiplier slowly losing his mind as the game went on. True psychological gaming experience
HA
And completely losing the idea of "game logic"
Best part is the fact he didnt press the button in the 'cell' on day 4.....Different ending
The best psychological horror games mess with your head, it makes the experience more engaging... It's hard putting such an compelling experience together however, best not to underestimate the genius behind it.
@@levischuurmans9400 Once i played a vr game wth the headset glued to my face and it was horrifying and i was doubting reality
the real horror in this game isn’t fear or creepiness, it’s the dreaded feeling of loneliness and helplessness that sinks into your soul
This game is so haunting. Hearing the gramaphone was both incredibly uplifting and incredibly sad. Such a bittersweet moment that Charlotte has been reaching out and you two could share that music experience together but she'll never know.
My tears just stopped, and then I read your comment, and now I can’t even tell if I’m typing this right because my eyes are filled with saltwater body fluids ❤
The four photos:
The heart is Charlotte.
The club is your buddy.
The ace is Dr. Money.
The diamond is Salvador.
Spade not ace
I think that diamond is Dr. Money, club is Salvador and and spade is Mr. Smiley
Big G why’s that? The spade is very creepy, and the diamond just looks like what I imagined Salvador to look like, all prom and proper, with a monocle and a mustache.
@@microbialdoormat I imaganed Salvador to be a sort of mexican with a little moustache while a monocle looks very rich, also its a diamond, something very expancive
(Sorry, my english sucks more than my friends ex)
heart: Charlotte- idk how to explain that one
spade: Mr smiley- there’s a smile. teeth. on it.
diamond: dr money- the monocle. all fancy. plus a diamond is expensive. and he liked money a lot-
club: Salvador- idk how to explain that one either just
sorry that’s just my opinion and it feels right as them as those to me but everyone has different opinions im sorry ; ;

25:20 . The moment it starts to set in. The moment the realization hits that this isn’t just a weird psychological horror-esk game to make you feel weird. The moment that makes you go: “oh- oh.” The moment that flipped a switch in Mark as well. You can see it. It’s no longer silly voices and jokes. There is a little bit of buildup but this is the moment where it really happens. The turning point if you will. This game means so much to me I cannot describe it. I hope the creator is resting in peace.
Watching old Mark is interesting. You can tell he's matured over the years. No less funny, but different
I would love to see now mark come back to this. But idt it'll have the same impact knowing what happens. But who knows? I keep coming back every couple years and feeling all the same things

sad
aw lol
vibe check

Guess hes never gonna eat the cake huh
Did anyone feel like he was talking to us at then end "these are fake people that I never knew and their gone...and I CARE ." that hit me a little
But he was talking to us???
Do u mean about us?
@@robertyocum7200 i mean he was talk about the charicters not his sub subcribers

@@robertyocum7200 lol maybe
watch his hearts and heros video. its so emotional in the end. its worth the whole 4 hrs and 20 mins.
I only just came across this video. The end made me cry. My brother died by suicide after living the isolation of 2020, then his own imposed isolation.
Hope anyone's who feels alone is able to reach out to someone around you, or even 988.
Much love to all of you. ❤
Much love to you too ❤️
Aww, shucks. My condolences.
And of course, much love to you.❤
Honestly I think this game deserves a lot of credit for being an incredible art piece on the horrors of capitalism, for-profit healthcare, and the prison industrial complex. Some of this went over my head when I first watched this playthrough as a teenager, I just thought of it as a standard dystopian game, but now I can see how real this game actually is.
this is kind ofbwhat i was thinking and you put it so well
very true
Also makes a great allusion to isolation a depression, which is especially poignant considering the game creator committed suicide after making this game
i wholeheartedly agree. no one understands it seems the horrors of capitalism and the prison industrial complex. knowing that the creator killed themselves. well, it hits home. when people open their eyes to our dystopian nightmare, they end up alone, on opposition to everyone they try to warn. like a reality that only you live in, only you can see. I understand so deeply why they ended their life. all alone in a world only you hate, because your'e the only one who can see the horror.
For real, this and exoptable money are actually masterpieces in anticapitalist media
Did anyone else notice how Mark slowly stated to role play the prisoner? Interesting
joeshot71 Started*
joeshot71 that what makes this game so good, its immersive
joeshot71 Yep.
joeshot71 that's what the game does to people. i don't know how but it just does. i've played the game once i really felt like i was a prisoner in this world.

When Mark was listening to the gramophone and yelling: " Charlotte I hear it!! How can I tell her I hear it?!!" My heart broke
Mine too
I'm watching that part right now and my heart is shattered...
when he said "keep playing Charlotte..."
I broke, I cried
***** life is strange is the name of another deep game *check jacksepticeye channel
I remember watching this video as a kid, I've come back to it a few times now not remembering anything about it except that it exists. It seems to have left a lasting impact on me. This game really has changed my life
I second that. This game is one of the few that has really made an impact on me and it really makes you think…
You can tell the developer suffered with depression. The representation of it, the way people tell you to "just be happy". And the friend that you wish you could be like, being able to go places. It's even sadder when you find out the developer is no longer with us.
The worst part of this game is when the Happy Buddy says “I don’t care”.
I understand why. He resents Dr Money because of the murder of his daughters. And he holds you related or even responsible in a way.
But this was one of your only few friends, even if he was fake. It hurts so much.
Well for all that he didn't care he still cared enough to give him enough encouragement to stay alive and reason to live despite the other people in his life.
When Charlotte played the megaphone and Mark started shouting “CHARLOTTE! I CAN HEAR IT!!! HOW CAN I TELL YOU I HEAR IT-“
*that deeply broke me*
I did the same thing shouting at the computer
gramophone*
*-: PaintedPhoenix :-* edge
i screamed every time markiplier was talking about people hearing something
*-: PaintedPhoenix :-* it hurt
You know an interesting take I have from the game is that the endless amount of notes from friends almost reminds me of when I felt overwhelmed with texts from my friends and family when I WAS very depressed its a weird feeling because you feel so lonely but you know others care for you, but you just don't have the energy to reply. Does anyone else relate?
Yep, even the idea of replying is instantly mentally draining
Yes, it's horrible... you're feeling so guilty and stressed about not replying that you can't even enjoy the care and attention they try to give you. But when they eventually stop writing, you feel even worse. Not a very fun time in my life...
Anyway, hope you're doing a little better now
yes, you are in a prison of your own making longing for outside connection but too tired to take what you want.
this is the weirdest comfort video i could have. i just remember blocking out my parents fighting with this playing as a kid and being able to laugh at Mark through it.
i was about to comment almost this exact same thing 😭. this video is just pure comfort.
I only just found out that the developer had commited suicide a year ago now...this really feels strange now...

He died in 2018.
I know this was uploaded over four years ago, but I wanted to add:
The worst ending is if you decide to stay in the cell. You die. In 12 days. You're immune to the virus and the only thing you're kept for is your organs. And you don't get out to see Charlotte's bakery. Mark chose the kinder of the endings.
But he still goes back to his cell doesn't he?

@@drissddourden606 yeah, you're probably right
Autumn Busch am I the only one that can think corona-time when they mention a virus lol
It's weird that I watched this video when it first came out at almost 12 years old, now here I am, 8 years later 20 years old. It feels like it wasn't too far in the past yet it feels like it was a lifetime ago. We've changed, we've grown, we've made mistakes, found pain and misery and discovered happiness and contentment in life. What a strange life this is. I'm grateful that Mark still makes videos, in some ways I feel I've walked through life looming at him through a window watching him grow and change just as I see it in myself as well.
My respects to you ben
Same here. I remember watching this when it came out and feeling such an inexplicable sense of dread. Nothing was happening, you couldn't see any people, yet you knew they were dying en mass to an invisible threat, the virus. You were left only to your imagination, and for most people, your imagination is the last place you want to be trapped.
I was 13 at the time, only remembering this video from skimming my liked videos and its haunting. Its like all of those comments people make about what they would say to people about the future if you could travel back in time.
If you're 21 by now and live in the US, happy legal age of drinking! Sending an imaginary mojito your way
For real man. I was just 10 years old when this came out and i watched it. Even then i found it profoundly crushing, but now it takes on a whole new meaning. The 'prison' cell perfectly mirrors what it's like to be all alone and suffering from mental illness. I have a few posters and a window and a desk, but that doesn't change the fact that it's just me. I have a door but i can't open it, i can't face the outside world because there's nothing for me there, it terrifies me. My room isn't a literal prison just as the elevator isn't a literal cell, but it's become one through forces outside of my control. Presentable Liberty is a masterpiece in several aspects, and I'll probably keep revisting this video once a year or so for a long time to come
watching mark slowly get more and more distressed and dependent on the letters was probably the hardest part of this video. i adore this game.
I had no idea this game was, in a way, the developer's suicide note and the cake was an allegory for the game. At the end, when he said goodbye, he didn't know if anyone would eat it, but he hoped someone would and that everyone who played the game wouldn't give up like he did, so that they could enjoy the cake he never would.

i don’t know if i’m reading it right but, did the developer end up taking their life?
You supposedly receive letters from four people - Doctor Money, Mister Smiley, Salvadore, and Charlotte.
Smiley decides to effectively kill himself when his daughters die, Charlotte kills herself because she can't live with waiting for the hypothetical prisoner to arrive, and Salvadore dies freeing you from your prison. But Doctor Money? Money endures all hardships.
nah he fuckin dies from his own virus lmao

I am on the verge of tears…my eyes are stinging. I feel extreme sadness, anger, and love for the creator of this game. This game brought me close to these feelings, but reading the comments below about how the developer of these games took his own life brought me to the edge and over.
I’m so sorry you never got the deserved love you should have, Wertpol. You tried so hard and gave your soul into delivering these games.
Thank you. You’ll be in our hearts.
in case you're hesitant, there are no jump-scares, I promise :D

RIP Wertpol you were amazing
Rest in piece. I usually have a quip or joke but this is serious

Rest In Peace you glorious creator
I always struggle coming back to this video just from Mark's transformation overtime. The dude literally fell in love with a video game character who doesn't speak a word of dialogue.
kudos to the mailmen that dont let the weather or apocalyptic conditions stop them from delivering their parcels
The most disturbing part is probably actually watching mark’s distress, especially because he’s one of those creators that makes every viewer feel just a little valued even subconsciously.
i think the most disturbing part is that the thumbnail looks like amogus
@@pogey7432 the door does look like a crewmate yes
It does look like an Amogus crewmate, yes
@AethernalVoid Nah he'd probs laugh at that too. 😩
@AethernalVoid Bruh I'm well aware of that silly billy and that's tragic but he lives on in the work etc that he's created and that people love and get emotional reactions out of. But what I'm saying is that if he was still alive and around in this day and age he probs would laugh at all that stuff too or may even find it funny. He may not care about it though or be bothered so I doubt he'd be "turning in his grave" right now over those people and over something as small as a joke but ok.
The scariest thing for me is the feeling of helplessness you feel in this game, the feeling that you can’t do anything, and when you finally can, it’s already too late.
At first it was annoying you couldn’t reply to them but as the game progressed you kinda learn why. It’s terrifying
It's frustrating and heartbreaking. It makes you want to punch a wall even after the skin on your knuckles comes off and scream "why?" into the air. You tell yourself "if only I were faster" "if only I were good enough", you could've made it. It sucks

Looking back on this was like a slap to the face. I never truly realized the emotion packed into Mark's voice until I watched that again on 7/14/22. Watching this brought back so many memories of good and bad times. I Think back to when I first watched this video i was just a little kid browsing the Internet thinking of what to watch. Then I stumbled upon Mark's video on presentable liberty. This video changed my life for the better. It gave me an outlook on that all life is precious. Spend all the time with your loved ones be for the time runs out.
Same, man. This video makes me feel a lot of nostalgia of the good and bad of life in general.
this video CANNOT be from 8 years ago. the virus and the ukulele feel so surreal

I remember when i was around 15 watched this while i attempted suicide once. I remember sitting in my room thinking if i took the p*lls while i was watching it it would be the last thing i watched. Im still struggling today but im so glad to be alive. And Mark has been my happy buddy for years
I believe in you.
Hey, I don't know if you will ever read this, but good for you. I am glad that you did not die on that day, and that you continue to live.

@@ACHILLES8887 yeah it’s pretty awful
@@ACHILLES8887 Er wurde depressiv und verlor den Sinn im Leben, also beendete er es. Ein dunkles Ende einer traurigen Geschichte. Dieses Spiel hat viele seiner Botschaften an uns. "I hope you keep going anyway. Always keep going. Don't give up like me. You never know how much more time you have. Goodbye."
It feels like buddy was held at Gun point to make mark happy, it was oddly dark. Constantly reminded of the current situation while trying to be positive. Depression.
The parallels of this game to depression is, overwhelming.
The connections to many peoples experiences including mine in the real world are hard to make but once you see one you see more and more.
For many struggling with depression, you feel trapped, unable to do anything, you start to question your reality, and the few people who manage to contact you put themselves into pain, just to help you, and the others, rely on you, but you dont feel as you can do anything for them.
Charlotte is a painful character, she is going through a struggle much similar to yours, and you wish so desperately to help her but theres nothing you could do. And in the last moments as you desperately try and find her despite knowing its already too late. And then you take on this immense guilt, wishing you could have done something, but there was nothing to do.
Salvador trys his hardest to make you feel happy, in a deep connected way, he sends you handcrafted gifts that show his care for you, and he talks to you about old times, things you would do together, reminiscing about the great adventures you had, but now youre trapped far away, and he cannot reach you beyond response-less letters but despite all of this, he tries his hardest for you once he realises the full extent of what is happening, only for that to leave him dead.
Mr Smiley is a hollow shell, a face that attempts to be friendly, but it doesn't feel real, giving you gifts you cant appreciate with no connection to you, he spends all his money on you and sacrifices himself for meaningless, hollow, gifts to make you happy.
Doctor Money serves as the overwhelming depression, attempting to pull you away from those that make you truly happy, keeping you from taking care of those you care about, he keeps you locked away, unreachable to everyone who truly cares for you, even directly telling you to cease contact with the person trying to pull away.
I'm probably not the best for this, many others could do better, and everyone else has their own take on it, but this is just how i connect personally to this game. Everyone's experience with depression is different, and to some this may seem like meaningless junk, but i hope to those who understand this, and feel trapped, or lonely, in this world, I hope you can see the light, and that some day you will reach it. It wont be easy, but nothing is, and I believe you can make it through this.
Rest in peace Robert Brock.
The side of Plague Inc. that you never get to see.
We have the same idea...
So... you play doctor Money in Plague Inc. ?
It makes sense actually.
You make a virus that kills everyone.
He just tries to profit from it using an antidote and working organs. (which fail, but the Money has still been made.)
Lol they took the insnity disease from the game and kept in this version BUT EXCEPT THE PLAYER GETS IT

Watching this now, after learning of Wertpol's suicide, makes so many of the messages in this game hurt a lot more. This game was a peek inside his soul, and I feel like we failed him in a way.
"It may not seem like a happy ending to this story, but you are still here." We are still here, Wertpol. We will keep going, and we will bring your spirit with us. Rest in peace.
you can't do this to my fragile heart- but in actuality that does make it hurt so much more. i don't think i've ever felt so much for a stranger who i don't know. i miss wertpol

That's the frustration of not being able to do anything. I would also grow impatient and scream like a madman. Not being able to communicate to people who are communicating to you even in the hardest of times is the real frustration. They tell you to live on and be happy but you can't tell them the same. Kudos to the game dev. RIP
that was one of the best parts
of the lets play
I've seen this video like three times and I distinctly remember a part where the bug friend did stop moving at some point and Mark was upset and then at the end when the bug walked out, he was thrilled because he thought it was dead. but now as I rewatch it, that apparently didn't happen and now I'm confused because I remember it so well
Hey I remember this too. I was rewatching and waiting for that part! I believe it might’ve been a different playthrough then?
8:24 looks the same as the one in My Eyes Deceive. Maybe the developer of that game took inspiration
Thought the same thing had to come back to check this video out again
Most likely. The time cards are also very similar, as well as the whole theme.

The gramophone part made me cry.
To think that she was trying to talk to you without knowing if you were actually alive.
Such a desperate move but that was character building.
And her death...
She was really designed for you to love then die.
*_we all live to die._*
"Charlotte I hear it!! How can I tell her I hear it?!!" That was the part of the video where my heart broke.
k
That's metal as hell
TheScottishPsychopath yes.
Kill me please yeah same
I know that the fact that Charlotte didn’t stand the loneliness and had to commit suicide.
But, why is nobody talking about Mr. Smiley?
His story is really sad, he was just a father that was worried about his daughters…
He had to fake about that he was happy, trying to ignore the fact that her daughters were in danger, he had to spend lots of money to keep the player “happy”, or “entertained”, he had to even sell one of his lungs, just to after know that Doctor Money already killed his daughters.
And even after knowing that his daughters were dead, he still sacrificed his whole body just to buy the last game he could give us with his last money…
Get u a man like that 👀
I think Mr. Smiley is supposed to represent the creator. Actually I think all of them are (exclusing Dr. Money), including the guy in the cell. For those outside the cell, you aren't responding so they have no clue if they're being heard. They're so lonely. They're so depressed. For you, the guy in the cell, you can't respond to anyone. You're so frustrated because they just can't hear you. You silently grieve, wishing that they'll keep sending you letters but at the same time dread every letter since you can't respond to it.
The creator killed himself in June of 2018. He was diagnosed with clinical depression and I think this game is a means to represent what he was going through.
That hits hard
Oh he was so talented
