True that. Not to mention what I found interesting about the man who operates in that Level C hazmat suit is that he doesn't have a battle buddy with him. Which if you're on a hazmat team, if you're surveying a site or incident you cannot go onsite without one. It's an absolute requirement to be in pairs, within line of sight, so as to not lose someone out on the field whether due to death or potentially getting lost. Not to mention what makes the supposed FEMA member even more suspicious is that they always take a human, never a visitor. I have a feeling they would have to be a visitor themselves disguised as a human. I mean it seems kinda obvious with them wearing the mask and the other event of soldiers being sent out to the neighborhood and dying with the potential of visitors taking suits and utilizing them to their benefit, it would make the most sense for that FEMA member to pick off the humans to isolate the mc.

Yeah it is kinda sad, though I think it’s kinda simple to find visitors ngl, they normally are either unsettling or a bit too normal. Like the fat drunk guy is just a fat drunk guy but u can kinda tell the bearded guy is a liar.
This would make a great horror movie. Trapped in the house. No where to go. Strangers you can't trust. Pressure mounting. Different kinds of rotting bodies and body parts in the house. An ambiguous ending.
You made me interested and had my attention. But then you shat all over it when you said "an ambiguous ending". There's nothing I hate more in a movie than an ambiguous ending and unanswered questions. If I wanted to be left clueless I'd get blackout drunk. It's cheaper too, than a movie ticket.

if a visitor can be killed with a shotgun, how did that other visitor manage to kill the group of soldiers? Do they have varying levels of strength or something like making the soldiers turn on each other through fear, paranoia etc
Good question. He seems to be a special kind of visitor, as he's the only one who can force his way in, and can only kill if someone has either refused to care for others, or consistently made poor choices in who to trust.
Yeah bro he's obviously a lot stronger than normal visitors, considering that fact that a bunch of soldiers got speed blitzed by this random visitor without the visitor itself even getting bruised, goes to show that since these are people with a virus has probably mutated in his body.
The visitors are an allegory of demons. This is the rapture, god has come to the earth to judge all on their actions, by opening both the gates of heaven, and the gates of hell to earth. Earth is now scorched by the blinding all evaporating judging light of the heavens, this is too much for humans to bear due to their "original sin", so they die in the rays. The demons, called in game as visitors, are on a task to corrupt and abuse the hearts of those mortals left on earth. As it is their "task" now to test man's character. This is why they cannot breach your house, they need to be invited, because only then are their actions warranted, for they are doing so BECAUSE YOU FAILED. It is the self-doubt, the self-blame, the self-hatred etc. that they're looking for, for those emotions are what causes man to fall the furthest. The sole exception is the "creepy man" visitor. He's not your regular demon, he's Satan himself. He is the one who doesn't try to corrupt people, he's the one who judges. That's the reason why he maims and puts the corpses on display in front of your house; To put you in a state of duress so that your TRUE nature comes bubbling to the surface. And if your true nature causes you to shun your fellow man, causing there to be no more humans in your home with you, he judges you for it and drags you against your will into the bowels of hell. Then, there's one character that many overlook, the man in the suit. He's actually not a visitor, but something even far, far worse. The demons do what they do, because it is in their nature and they don't know better. This is why the woman in the coat is always complaining about it being so cold; she's aware that she's away from the warmth of "god's light", but doesn't understand (because she's a demon) that the only way towards the warmth of god isn't by clothing yourself, but to share your own warmth and love with others. The man in the suit however, understands it all. He is human, he understands the good, but CONCIOUSLY chooses to go against it regardless. He is a psychopath, he is worse than the demons. He is even worse than Satan himself. Satan at least punishes the unworthy and the sinners, but the man in the suit? He revels in it all, finally feeling that the times have come where he and "his kind" can truly be themselves.
I wonder if visitors are harder to kill in their true form since we can shoot them, but only when they look human. It would also explain why the squad of soldiers got taken out by a single visitor. That or the pale mans literally just built different.
Well, if the game change its background settings from somewhere in Russia to Florida, it will most certainly increase its difficulty. I mean, surely it’s hard to tell the difference between “is it a visitor? Or just a Florida man?”
He is visitor and dont hide it makes it even worse,just waiting on you to slip up, but why kill all armed soldiers and not just enter by force in the house? It like that vampire thing where you need to let them in yourself iirc...
@@Obert-c8t He's playing with his food (namely you) and relishing on the fear. He will actually force his way in and kill you if you are all alone in the house when he pays you a visit, or if all of your guests happen to be visitors too. Killing the soldiers and leaving a head on display was just him letting you know he's enjoying this creepy suspense. But yeah, out of all the Visitors, you're dealing with the one who's a deranged sociopath playing by his own "rules."
@@Obert-c8t Maybe the visitors that can be killed are "immature" and that one is a fully grown one that is straight up nigh unkillable, and has developed more of a "personality".

@@rinkelrelps4370we have "bad" teeth, not really, getting you teeth whitened is seen as an upper class thing here and isn't done as much compared to a place like America
I think the game is just very surreal, so its makes some people over-think things. my take is the game is just meant to be taken literally, there are non humans, the visitors are real. The only real question is if FEMA is helping, or part of it, since they are masked the whole time, and also if the "news" is trustworthy.
The news probably is atleast creditable, as most people who fit the description check (or atleast all of the descriptions) turn out to be visitors (havent played this game yet so idk all the mechanics but that's the info I have!!) FEMA definitely has smth to do with the visitors tho, bc they force you to give them more of your guests if you play ur cards right Lol idk dude
On the steam page for the game it says - "Random generation. Each playthrough will create new stories for you. With every new start, you need to learn again who is a guest and who is a human.", but I'm not sure if that's for the planned future version or also this demo version. It seems like at least the first two people are always human, maybe only some of them are variable.
watched Kubzscout's video on it and was immediately captivated by it, a very cool art style, premise and music. Whole vibe is really cool would love to see more stuff like it!
Despite the apartment blocks looking quite eastern European, it's probably somewhere in the US considering the style of TV channel (accounting for the presumed time period) and the fact that FEMA (a real agency btw) is active in the area. Also European houses don't tend to have front porches.
Bit misleading because you kind of made up the stories in your narrative. I was more hoping for the actual story/endings but at the very least you showed who a few of the visitors likely are. Would've been nice if there was a disclaimer that this isn't the actual story or full explanation of the story in the game and just pieces of the game that you put together for an interesting story.
@@xenon3521again, the commenter's point was that the video title and setup implies this is a purely objective overview of everything that happened in the demo, yet there's extra little bits of story thrown in that wasn't present in the game, which makes the video a bit confusing or at least, not completely as advertised, so to speak.
I’m sitting in my car on my break enjoying the stormy weather listening to this and scrolling… you have no idea how many times those knocks scared me and made me jump each time I forgot they were coming from the video and not my car window or door 😂😂
FEMA is a real American government organization standing for "Federal Emergency Management Agency", and if FEMA is even involved here, then that means where ever our characters lives is in the U.S.
Anybody not wearing two-million sunblock is gonna have a bad day Hasta la vista, baby. The teeth thing actually references the The Thing 2011 prequel. The Thing is found not to be able to imitate inorganic material like metal or teeth fillings. Those without teeth fillings are suspected to be The Thing imitations. Even one of the characters say I'm gonna die just because I floss. Dang
This game would be so much better if there were no "visitors" and the player is just tricked into mistrusting (or even killing) strangers by the media.
If this is the case then considering the media told the player that the signs of "visitor" is black nails, clean teeth, red eyes and blurry photos and not to mention that there's some off-looking people that are visitors. If your idea is the case, then the Government is clearing out undesirables and drug addicts especially ones that look like that weird shoulder girl? (She looks a little bit creepy and ugly and is addict) Rich and Hygienic people? (Clean Nails but the sign is Clean Teeth) Poor and Unhygienic people? (Dirty Teeth but the visitor sign is Dirty nails) People with red eyes? Dunno. Idk about people with blurry photos. But who is the group/class of people the government trying to exterminate? Are they trying to depopulate the world to prevent overpopulation? Especially with all the examples I provided, population control is likely, no matter who the target is, population control in this case is wiping whoever is not valued. Tbh I think it's also to do with genetic disorders, (If there's no visitors at all) that weird shoulder girl could be a disabled or with deformity.
You have a video on the endings but didn’t get all the endings? The game is super short, why make this if you’re not gonna be meticulous? Gotta watch someone else’s video now
I think the visitors being humans and monsters are a statement about the dehumanising way worry from plagues leads people to treat infected people. Dangerous people don’t necessarily have bad intentions. People with bad intentions aren’t necessarily dangerous. Some people are obviously both. And being desperate for understanding of a clear mark between safe and unsafe can make scared people aggressive to others. Whether its aggression towards media, emergency aid forces or towards other people who become potentials of risk. Plagues makes everyone worrying and worried
I feel like it's meant to be a bit ubiquitous and it's more like a mesh of locations from the US and seemingly also Russia. either that or the devs, who i believe are also Russian iirc, meant it to be the US but inevitably their own culture/architecture made its way into the game. Pretty understandable if that's the case, but I think there's a lot of potential to the former idea.
Just a heads up, while the apartments do look Eastern European, this is likely just the devs doing since it’s what they know being from Eastern Europe. FEMA is a specifically American organization so this is set in America.
I think the swapped in fema and beer with russian counterparts just for the english version of the game. Thr hazmat suits, buildings, shotgun are all russian. There is also not a single black or asian character which would be highly unlikely in the US
@@ryanlam7882 That depends very heavily on where in the US you lived. Lots of the US, especially rural areas like depicted in game, are pretty much just white people. It's definitely made by Russians, but they might have intended it to be set in the US.
@@mightystu49 thats true, but the residential building in the background is huge and you wont find those in small towns in the US especially with zoning laws
@@ryanlam7882 You might be surprised, depending on the town. The point is though that the devs clearly intended it to be the US since FEMA is an explicitly US organization, and everything else is just circumstantial.
I love games where they capture horror without the jumpscares, music, or lighting. These games give me hope for gaming considering how pathetic these billion dollar companies have no creativity.
IKR Like I never got the hype for FNAF, that game is a boring piece of shit cheap jumpscares ugly ass animatronics. Shit should have gotten a fuckin movie, only children like that shit. Now this is a game I'd love to play see the lore and a movie bout it.
I think this game would be better if the visitor's were randomized every time. Excluding the tutorial neighbor, the tall slim guy (because he's the first person to come after the tutorial) and the little girl The numbers of visitors and humans should stay the same, but each character, excluding the 3 I mentioned, should have their dialogue and status as visitor or human randomized I say this mostly because the game is not very replayable as is. Once you've played through 3-4 times you'll have memorized everyone and if they're human or mot, and this simply takes the fun away on later playthroughs
Im so impressed by this game, it manages to put you on edge without any jumpscares or excessive gore, and its an amazing playthrough despite only being a demo, i cant wait for the full game
this game have one weakness is visitor is lock to each character. so if you findout who is the visitor you can just refuse to let him in or just let him in and kill him. killed visitor will not result in you get kicked out of the house.
The game's files are pretty interesting. In order to keep you from cheating, there's a file depocting every guest with a blurred face, although not every image is used in-game. There's also an unused "granny" guest who wouldve sat in the empty chair in the living room. Apparently there's an easter egg where her ghost flashes onscreen, but the character prooer will never knock on the door.
no this takes place in a typical slavic country, because when you watch the tv it tells you that the ballet performance you watched reminds you of better days. many Slavic (especially Russian) countries also put on ballet when there are conflicts arising to soothe and remind people of “better times” in their childhood since ballet is a big thing in those countries. the buildings in the distance are typical poor Slavic apartment buildings and the people, especially the first guest, have Slavic features.
The games clearly set in Eastern Europe or Russia. If you had Russian grandparents growing up you would know right away by the decorations in the house. The names pf the developers gives it away for sure though.
I like your style of telling a story where you add some details based on clues or speculation that aren’t actually explicitly stated in the game. Even though they’re not always accurate it makes it more interesting. p.s. FEMA is a real agency that already exists, not one created for the game.
Everyone is assuming only visitors are killing people. How to keep everyone you let in safe becomes a lot clearer when you just focus on, is this person safe, rather than do they match the signs of a visitor.
FEMA obviously isn't going to tell the truth. They're going to say whatever they think will have the desired result on the population. In retrospect they can always say, "we didn't know at the time," until 60 years later everyone who was involved in the scandal has retired or passed, and they declassify and we find out they knew they were lying all along, of course. That's how governments operate.
you forgot to mention, in game there is a way to identify visitors from guests.

Yeah it is kinda sad, though I think it’s kinda simple to find visitors ngl, they normally are either unsettling or a bit too normal. Like the fat drunk guy is just a fat drunk guy but u can kinda tell the bearded guy is a liar.
Nuh uh

This would make a great horror movie. Trapped in the house. No where to go. Strangers you can't trust. Pressure mounting. Different kinds of rotting bodies and body parts in the house. An ambiguous ending.
Your comment made me realize this game is literally a different spin on Among Us.
which is also based on the movie the thing , with a alien isolation twist
You made me interested and had my attention. But then you shat all over it when you said "an ambiguous ending". There's nothing I hate more in a movie than an ambiguous ending and unanswered questions. If I wanted to be left clueless I'd get blackout drunk. It's cheaper too, than a movie ticket.

Had to put my headphones on because my dog thought someone was knocking at the door and would lose his Mcmarbles everytime I heard the knocking sound. Lol
Listening to this on headphones raises the atmosphere to uncomfortable levels
@@zachorrzachary jesus fucking christ you're telling me. I got freaked out multiple times.
I wonder if visitors know that they're visitors, or just kill people unconsciously and keep thinking they're humans
I think at least some of them must now as they get defensive when you ask to check their nails, eyes or take a photo
@RayanShaikh-bf1gp im pretty sure that all of them are aware that they're visitors. Theyre scared because you have a gun which can kill them
@@silentoccasion4359 why are they dangerous though? Some of them asked for Shelter. Or they asked for shelter so they can kill us inside? Or we just kill them because they not humans

I looked it up:
Night 2:
Tall guy: Human
Weird shoulder meth lady: Visitor
Night 3:
Girl in coat: Visitor
Crazy rambling beer guy: Human
Night 4:
Widow: Human
Amogus: Visitor (ya fuck that guy lol)
Doctor: Human
Night 5:
Suit guy: Visitor
Little girl: Human
Lumberjack shirt guy: Visitor
Fat girl: Visitor
Makes sense that 3/4 on the last night are visitors. Who the hell would still even be alive to walk around then after all those violent nights? Multiple armed soldiers died on your road and many other people so it just makes sense. The little girl only made it because she didn't have to go too far.
Suit guy is apparently not a visitor, but is a violent human.
As the other comment said, bald suit guy isn't a visitor. He's an insane murderer. Even in the apocalypse, one of man's greatest enemies is man.
@@Pan_ZOkay I love that actually and I feel it adds a lot to the game that just because someone isn't a visitor doesn't mean he's innocent
Even with what people think, the lumberjack guy isn't a visitor, he looks a lot like one tho
@@saulgoodman166lumberjack is a visitor other people were saying they got the bad ending by keeping him until the end
The "Good" ending is still hopeless...
I didn't saw the video yet and I'm still getting spoiled 🥺
The sun is exploding in this game, so not much you can do in a situation like that
The full game hasn’t come out yet so there will be a different ending I think
@@starstorm1267it wasn't confirmed it will explode right? It's just that there are a lot of solar flares that are fuckinf killing everything but the sun is nowhere near close to explode and it will not explode as it doesn't have enough mass
at least you don't have to die alone but with some people that are too grieving but honest. I guess that's one of the fears I don't like.
if a visitor can be killed with a shotgun, how did that other visitor manage to kill the group of soldiers? Do they have varying levels of strength or something like making the soldiers turn on each other through fear, paranoia etc
Good question. He seems to be a special kind of visitor, as he's the only one who can force his way in, and can only kill if someone has either refused to care for others, or consistently made poor choices in who to trust.
Yeah bro he's obviously a lot stronger than normal visitors, considering that fact that a bunch of soldiers got speed blitzed by this random visitor without the visitor itself even getting bruised, goes to show that since these are people with a virus has probably mutated in his body.
Love death and robots pfp, nice
The visitors are an allegory of demons. This is the rapture, god has come to the earth to judge all on their actions, by opening both the gates of heaven, and the gates of hell to earth.
Earth is now scorched by the blinding all evaporating judging light of the heavens, this is too much for humans to bear due to their "original sin", so they die in the rays.
The demons, called in game as visitors, are on a task to corrupt and abuse the hearts of those mortals left on earth. As it is their "task" now to test man's character. This is why they cannot breach your house, they need to be invited, because only then are their actions warranted, for they are doing so BECAUSE YOU FAILED. It is the self-doubt, the self-blame, the self-hatred etc. that they're looking for, for those emotions are what causes man to fall the furthest.
The sole exception is the "creepy man" visitor. He's not your regular demon, he's Satan himself. He is the one who doesn't try to corrupt people, he's the one who judges. That's the reason why he maims and puts the corpses on display in front of your house; To put you in a state of duress so that your TRUE nature comes bubbling to the surface. And if your true nature causes you to shun your fellow man, causing there to be no more humans in your home with you, he judges you for it and drags you against your will into the bowels of hell.
Then, there's one character that many overlook, the man in the suit. He's actually not a visitor, but something even far, far worse. The demons do what they do, because it is in their nature and they don't know better. This is why the woman in the coat is always complaining about it being so cold; she's aware that she's away from the warmth of "god's light", but doesn't understand (because she's a demon) that the only way towards the warmth of god isn't by clothing yourself, but to share your own warmth and love with others.
The man in the suit however, understands it all. He is human, he understands the good, but CONCIOUSLY chooses to go against it regardless. He is a psychopath, he is worse than the demons. He is even worse than Satan himself. Satan at least punishes the unworthy and the sinners, but the man in the suit? He revels in it all, finally feeling that the times have come where he and "his kind" can truly be themselves.
@deontegreen9024 he seems to be the main visitor, a leader practically, as he calls other visitors "my boys", something this video sadly missed.
I wonder if visitors are harder to kill in their true form since we can shoot them, but only when they look human. It would also explain why the squad of soldiers got taken out by a single visitor. That or the pale mans literally just built different.
Well, if the game change its background settings from somewhere in Russia to Florida, it will most certainly increase its difficulty.
I mean, surely it’s hard to tell the difference between “is it a visitor? Or just a Florida man?”
That implies Russia isn’t also chaos

He is visitor and dont hide it makes it even worse,just waiting on you to slip up, but why kill all armed soldiers and not just enter by force in the house? It like that vampire thing where you need to let them in yourself iirc...
@@Obert-c8t He's playing with his food (namely you) and relishing on the fear. He will actually force his way in and kill you if you are all alone in the house when he pays you a visit, or if all of your guests happen to be visitors too. Killing the soldiers and leaving a head on display was just him letting you know he's enjoying this creepy suspense.
But yeah, out of all the Visitors, you're dealing with the one who's a deranged sociopath playing by his own "rules."
@@Obert-c8t Maybe the visitors that can be killed are "immature" and that one is a fully grown one that is straight up nigh unkillable, and has developed more of a "personality".

I think the game is just very surreal, so its makes some people over-think things. my take is the game is just meant to be taken literally, there are non humans, the visitors are real. The only real question is if FEMA is helping, or part of it, since they are masked the whole time, and also if the "news" is trustworthy.
The news probably is atleast creditable, as most people who fit the description check (or atleast all of the descriptions) turn out to be visitors (havent played this game yet so idk all the mechanics but that's the info I have!!) FEMA definitely has smth to do with the visitors tho, bc they force you to give them more of your guests if you play ur cards right
Lol idk dude
On the steam page for the game it says - "Random generation. Each playthrough will create new stories for you. With every new start, you need to learn again who is a guest and who is a human.", but I'm not sure if that's for the planned future version or also this demo version. It seems like at least the first two people are always human, maybe only some of them are variable.
I think it’s set in stone who is human and who is not. I heard this wasn’t even a demo but just a prototype

watched Kubzscout's video on it and was immediately captivated by it, a very cool art style, premise and music. Whole vibe is really cool would love to see more stuff like it!
Despite the apartment blocks looking quite eastern European, it's probably somewhere in the US considering the style of TV channel (accounting for the presumed time period) and the fact that FEMA (a real agency btw) is active in the area. Also European houses don't tend to have front porches.
Bit misleading because you kind of made up the stories in your narrative. I was more hoping for the actual story/endings but at the very least you showed who a few of the visitors likely are. Would've been nice if there was a disclaimer that this isn't the actual story or full explanation of the story in the game and just pieces of the game that you put together for an interesting story.
This is a demo!! And some of the people hint towards their past, although, I'm not too sure if we know their back stories
@@xenon3521again, the commenter's point was that the video title and setup implies this is a purely objective overview of everything that happened in the demo, yet there's extra little bits of story thrown in that wasn't present in the game, which makes the video a bit confusing or at least, not completely as advertised, so to speak.
I’m sitting in my car on my break enjoying the stormy weather listening to this and scrolling… you have no idea how many times those knocks scared me and made me jump each time I forgot they were coming from the video and not my car window or door 😂😂

Dude the knock at 1:40 legit scared me.
Oh my god and now all the other ones. I am too high for this.
First uncanny valley game where the monsters aren't spooky demons there physical aliens which makes them way more realistic and less fantastic shit
This game would be so much better if there were no "visitors" and the player is just tricked into mistrusting (or even killing) strangers by the media.
If this is the case then considering the media told the player that the signs of "visitor" is black nails, clean teeth, red eyes and blurry photos and not to mention that there's some off-looking people that are visitors.
If your idea is the case, then the Government is clearing out undesirables and drug addicts especially ones that look like that weird shoulder girl? (She looks a little bit creepy and ugly and is addict)
Rich and Hygienic people? (Clean Nails but the sign is Clean Teeth)
Poor and Unhygienic people? (Dirty Teeth but the visitor sign is Dirty nails)
People with red eyes? Dunno.
Idk about people with blurry photos.
But who is the group/class of people the government trying to exterminate? Are they trying to depopulate the world to prevent overpopulation? Especially with all the examples I provided, population control is likely, no matter who the target is, population control in this case is wiping whoever is not valued.
Tbh I think it's also to do with genetic disorders, (If there's no visitors at all) that weird shoulder girl could be a disabled or with deformity.
Bro STOOOOP with the knock sound effects. I turned my head like four times towards my door
6:29 he looks like Steve from the Minecraft movie

Watching this video with headphones on and @1:32 got paranoid that there was a knock outside my room while I'm home alone. Thanks for the scare
You have a video on the endings but didn’t get all the endings? The game is super short, why make this if you’re not gonna be meticulous? Gotta watch someone else’s video now
Not gonna lie, this story reminds me of SCP-001 "When Day Breaks" by S. D. Locke.
7:17 fun fact: FEMA is a real organization
I think the visitors being humans and monsters are a statement about the dehumanising way worry from plagues leads people to treat infected people. Dangerous people don’t necessarily have bad intentions. People with bad intentions aren’t necessarily dangerous. Some people are obviously both. And being desperate for understanding of a clear mark between safe and unsafe can make scared people aggressive to others. Whether its aggression towards media, emergency aid forces or towards other people who become potentials of risk. Plagues makes everyone worrying and worried
Listening to this with headphones and got me looking around like a crackhead with those knock sounds
It likely takes place in the US since it references FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) which is under the US Department of Homeland Security.
I feel like it's meant to be a bit ubiquitous and it's more like a mesh of locations from the US and seemingly also Russia. either that or the devs, who i believe are also Russian iirc, meant it to be the US but inevitably their own culture/architecture made its way into the game. Pretty understandable if that's the case, but I think there's a lot of potential to the former idea.
I'm at the gym right now on a bike and that original door knock made me look at the dude next to me with a dropped heart 😂
1:34 You gotta stop with that loud ass knocking sound dude i get a mini heart attack every time
Playing the knocking noise on an IEM earphones sounds so real 3:35
The safest country to live in that world is the United Kingdom
Just a heads up, while the apartments do look Eastern European, this is likely just the devs doing since it’s what they know being from Eastern Europe. FEMA is a specifically American organization so this is set in America.
I think the swapped in fema and beer with russian counterparts just for the english version of the game. Thr hazmat suits, buildings, shotgun are all russian. There is also not a single black or asian character which would be highly unlikely in the US
@@ryanlam7882 That depends very heavily on where in the US you lived. Lots of the US, especially rural areas like depicted in game, are pretty much just white people. It's definitely made by Russians, but they might have intended it to be set in the US.
@@mightystu49 thats true, but the residential building in the background is huge and you wont find those in small towns in the US especially with zoning laws
@@ryanlam7882 You might be surprised, depending on the town. The point is though that the devs clearly intended it to be the US since FEMA is an explicitly US organization, and everything else is just circumstantial.
Is it me or the man's smile from the thumbnail looks like judge holden's
I love games where they capture horror without the jumpscares, music, or lighting. These games give me hope for gaming considering how pathetic these billion dollar companies have no creativity.
IKR
Like I never got the hype for FNAF, that game is a boring piece of shit cheap jumpscares ugly ass animatronics. Shit should have gotten a fuckin movie, only children like that shit. Now this is a game I'd love to play see the lore and a movie bout it.
Not gonna lie this game surely is very thrilling
the knocks during this video were making me TWEAK
I don't know why but your voice is so calming
I think this game would be better if the visitor's were randomized every time. Excluding the tutorial neighbor, the tall slim guy (because he's the first person to come after the tutorial) and the little girl
The numbers of visitors and humans should stay the same, but each character, excluding the 3 I mentioned, should have their dialogue and status as visitor or human randomized
I say this mostly because the game is not very replayable as is. Once you've played through 3-4 times you'll have memorized everyone and if they're human or mot, and this simply takes the fun away on later playthroughs
Those knocks always get me, lol
Im so impressed by this game, it manages to put you on edge without any jumpscares or excessive gore, and its an amazing playthrough despite only being a demo, i cant wait for the full game
I WAS WAITING FOR YOUR TAKE ON THIS GAME OMG
this game have one weakness is visitor is lock to each character. so if you findout who is the visitor you can just refuse to let him in or just let him in and kill him. killed visitor will not result in you get kicked out of the house.
Yeah I was hoping it would be a little randomized with maybe corresponding changes in their backstory so details don't conflict.
it will be randomized actual state of this game is demo
If you are alone the bear will come and dance.
He never sleep you know?
And he will never die
The game's files are pretty interesting. In order to keep you from cheating, there's a file depocting every guest with a blurred face, although not every image is used in-game. There's also an unused "granny" guest who wouldve sat in the empty chair in the living room. Apparently there's an easter egg where her ghost flashes onscreen, but the character prooer will never knock on the door.

Maybe this was a bad idea to watch this late at night
The monster looks like judge holden
I believe the iconic smile was inspired by the judge i think
It’s most likely a mix of both actual “visitors/cryptids/scp etc…” and hysteria .
That was such a good reading at the first ending. It gave me chills.
To me the shirtless man reminded me of judge Holden form the blood meridian a dark and evil man taking others away to "join" his ranks

I forgot there was a knock sound effect and got freaked out because I thought someone knocked on my window :(
FEMA is a real thing, and the location has to be somewhere in the usa
no this takes place in a typical slavic country, because when you watch the tv it tells you that the ballet performance you watched reminds you of better days. many Slavic (especially Russian) countries also put on ballet when there are conflicts arising to soothe and remind people of “better times” in their childhood since ballet is a big thing in those countries. the buildings in the distance are typical poor Slavic apartment buildings and the people, especially the first guest, have Slavic features.
@@didyoupr4ytoday FEMA only exists in the US you smoothbrain

Wonder if FEMA is only for the English translation. The original Russian might be EMERCOM.
Dude love ur intros❤
Reminds me of SCP and Mandela Catalogue
I love watching your videos they help me sleep.
The games clearly set in Eastern Europe or Russia. If you had Russian grandparents growing up you would know right away by the decorations in the house. The names pf the developers gives it away for sure though.
I like your style of telling a story where you add some details based on clues or speculation that aren’t actually explicitly stated in the game. Even though they’re not always accurate it makes it more interesting.
p.s. FEMA is a real agency that already exists, not one created for the game.
Everyone is assuming only visitors are killing people. How to keep everyone you let in safe becomes a lot clearer when you just focus on, is this person safe, rather than do they match the signs of a visitor.
wait if they are just regular humans then whats with the dirt in the nails?
FEMA obviously isn't going to tell the truth. They're going to say whatever they think will have the desired result on the population. In retrospect they can always say, "we didn't know at the time," until 60 years later everyone who was involved in the scandal has retired or passed, and they declassify and we find out they knew they were lying all along, of course. That's how governments operate.
