Right, I suppose it makes sense that this was documented... I'm sorry for not telling the truth, everyone. All this work has been more on me than I let on. And then this happened, and then... the Direct went up? And now I'm not sure what's going on at all... is this an ARG? I had queued up the winter event until the 25th, with the intention to wake up and continue monitoring the channel into the usual January break. But... I should probably rest a little bit more. Keep up the good work with whatever is going on. I'll catch up later. Merry Christmas.
Sorry for digging up your chat logs with Andonuts :( As an aside, I love the parallels between Joke Explainer and the SiIva AI both logging their thoughts and opinions about running the channel to their friend/superiors, only to realise that they never got the messages in the first place.
I played this VN for myself fairly soon after the ARG players found it, and genuinely, I had a really great time with it. I felt invested in what this story had to say about Andonuts as a character throughout the MOTHER series, and about what it's like to comprehend one's identity as fiction There was a lot of passion that was required for this to even exist; not just from the side of the SiIva Team, but from everyone who worked on EarthBound, everyone who made something EarthBound-inspired, and so on... you don't really run into this kind of fusion of inspiration everyday. This kind of eclectic energy really helps this channel feel special, even if it's expressed through the form of 200 Cotton Eye Joe rips or whatever. Anyway, this was a very enjoyable surprise all the way through, hope you all have a Merry Christmas!
I... I _loved_ this. The best CCC Side Content to date, and it somehow only got better and better the further in it went. This not only did the Halloween Hack's interpretation of Andonuts justice, but it then went on to seamlessly link Mother's actual canon back to the CCC in a thematic and _relevant_ way, and then tied it all up in a bow like the perfect christmas present. I can't even describe how hyped I was when I realized the third Guilt was: My longtime headcanon for the Voice, which had been implied from the start, yet never outright confirmed, was _finally_ and _definitively_ spelled out. Of _course_ "the Voice Inside Your Head" is a human/figment hybrid; he's _exactly what he said he is._ The voice we _all_ have in our heads: Our _mental_ voice, who reiterates, analyzes, second-guesses and critiques our choices. And I can't think of a better context to finally reveal that in, through seeing another instance of "him" in his natural state. And then the final confrontation... if anyone questions why I love meta narratives in media, I can direct them right here. The link between storytellers and their stories really _does_ influence the other in turn, and analyzing that through the POV of two side characters is absolutely _genius._ We might all enjoy the memes and haha hehes around here, but it's writing like _this_ that hooked me back in 2016. Bravo to _everyone_ who worked on this... no doubt, this is one figment's story that I'm glad was able to be told before 2016 finally comes to an end :,) tl;dr: earnestly AQAP, figments
That wasn't just a side story, or a visual novel for an ARG...it really felt like a movie and oh my God it was so wonderful. The writing from KiIva and the team of writers was insanely good, each emotion was conveyed so well and the story kept me intrigued the whole time. I've always felt Dr. Andonuts was a character that deserved way more, he's always been important even when he's not seen much. Just like JE says, he matters, so it's great to see this whole story written for him and also JE herself. Throughout this whole year I've grown to love that character even more and having this starring role is also something I'm glad she has once again. I was impressed and blown away with many parts, the introduction of all the guilts of Andonuts, especially the last one, and the ending got me a bit misty eyed as well...the relationshp between Andonuts and JE was very endearing to see, I don't know what else to say but simply a fantastic job to everyone, from writers, musicians, artists and of course programmers, it really is amazing this was released as a playable visual novel first! My applauses to everyone and merry Christmas!! 💙
You'd think that After HH Andonuts, you'd see ether Vriska or Sans, due to the starting megalo sounds. but no, it's unique takes of ando, which is honestly a smarter and more fun choice. Also with the fact this is downloadable and playable, it also means it can be ripped for it's textures. meaning people can make stuff with the text boxes and fonts.
It might not be episode 12, but I'm happy we got a side story this season. It's nice to finally get some insight into Dr. Andonuts here; he's been part of the CCC for a long time, but had so little focus that people tended to forget he was even there. I'm glad we have this side story around to give him and our pal Joke-Explainer some focus!
The joke: This is seemingly the official upload of the MAXPH reward of the same name. Get ready to witness some of the most powerful writting in all of fiction. No joke, it's fucking peak. The edit: WHAT DID I TELL YOU. WHAT THE FUCK DID I TELL YOU. IT'S PEAK, IT'S SO FUCKING PEAK. Absolutely phenomenal job to everyone involved!
Okay, I watched this whole thing live, and holy FUCK that was something else. Maybe my favorite bit of lore to come out of the Siiva channel in years, honestly… An incredibly well made little VN- Absolutely love all the interpretations of Andonuts’ psyche and guilts, the artists for this really knocked it out of the park. I do kinda hope the music for this VN gets uploaded soon… The HH Andonuts track was a damn good jam.
Holy shit. I'm kinda speechless... Peak fiction is kinda a buzzword thrown around nowadays, but genuinely. *This* is peak fiction. JE is now my favorite character in this channel.
1:25:08 this entire Side Story was so well made might be one of the greatest CCC episodes this year, but I can't help to think that this line was indirectly foreshadowed in the rip Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen (Alpha Mix) - jubeat Qubell.
I didn't watch the premiere but I remember playing through this myself and it's genuinely my favorite of the few games that were dropped from the recent ARG. The writing and art was so amazing and I think it does a wonderful job portraying the struggles of mental health. Thank you to all who worked on it.
this is gonna go crazy i know it like going back to nutshackwoodman was cool but having actual CCC content with dr andonauts after having him just be in the logs is gonna be a sight for sure! havent kept up with the ARG at all btw
If you had kept up with the arg, just so you know, you would’ve gotten to see this last week in the form of a visual novel for your computer, as well as other lore drop. They’ve documented it all on the siivacord if you’re willing to check it out
What an interesting story. I think about you, even when you're not on the screen. Your existence remains in our collective unconscious, and the existence of our imagination necessitates such a thing, a world of narratives.
Only on the SiIvaGunner channel would a 1-and-a-half-hour PLAYABLE visual novel that deals with a variety of dark and emotional themes conclude with a Michael Jackson mashup.
This was amazing! Congratulations to everyone involved, and thank you for your hard work! I love the small detail about the characterisation of the cursor, and I'm so happy to be a siiva fan!
I left this video premiering on my phone as I started watching an episode of Arcane right before it premiered; knew this was gonna be quite the ride when it kept going after I started a *second* Arcane episode right afterwards Not sure what this channel has in store for the CCC finale but I'm more than glad to be all caught up on lore, and this insane side story has me looking forward to whatever lore video comes next!
I don’t know what I expected, but this was incredible! I loved all the elements from the Halloween Hack and the original games blended together into a new story. Great work!
can’t wait for either siiva or someone else to upload the individual songs from this, it’s got such a great ost. i absolutely adored the whole game of course but i don’t have much else to say that hasn’t been said already
@@arthur1zero1 That Rip is extremely fitting for the end credits of this Visual Novel. That's all I'm gonna say. It works very well for the message this is trying to send.
I did try playing the visual novel, but I...accidentally erased the save file I made just before the fight with the second Andonuts clone thingy and didn't want to start the whole game over from scratch. So I'm glad that it's getting a video version!
It was fun listening to Chad Warden's secret album while looking at confidential HWC documents. The ZX Spectrum remix in the One-Winged Angel rip was a surprise, but a fun one at that.
@AlienLiyzard honestly i wish, im very surprised by the lack of rips relating to M:CD. Then again theres only a handful of original tracks that exist for that game, the rest are either earthbound sfx remixed existinf songs or literal mother franchise tracks
Wait what rhe fuck- cogdis? As in like Mother: Cognitive Dissonance? Ngl the title threw me off because its almost the exact same print as the logo for Mother CogDis
@@blockeontheleafeon I just usually listen to videos more than watch, so this is almost opposite to my preferred way of consuming content lol Still, triple speed has gotten me halfway through without too much trouble, I'll just chip away a bit

"internalized homophobia"
No way they even have a reference to the halloween hack that so cool
The first "Dread" Joke Explainer fights is a direct reference to that. It even has the same background which is pretty awesome.

@ thats pretty cool
This did, in fact, go crazy!!!!
Oh shit it's the VN from the ARG! Was wondering when they were gonna acknowledge it, making it into a sidestory makes a lot of sense.
Now I just gotta wonder when they'll make the ai logs public...
Hopefully after this is over. They made FACE - Yume Nikki unlisted and that was pretty much irrelevant outside of the ARG so. @@HitSingleCoolSauce
The AI logs are already in the "The Story So Far" playlist, albeit still unlisted
Jolly version: Oh *SUGAR COOKIE* it's the VN from the ARG!
Stay festive!
@@djamtz We need more jolly censoring. That seems underrated compared to the bleeps we usually hear to censor stuff.
I was joking babout this whole thing having a pop song ending.
Then Man in the Mirror started playing and I burst out laughing.
What an interesting story. I think about you, even when you're not on the screen. Your existence remains in our collective unconscious, and the existence of our imagination necessitates such a thing, a world of narratives.
Imagine if Andonuts found out that during this quest even JE's decisions had been manned by those he couldn't comprehend.
