Shed tears on that ending. Goddamn it was good. I looked up that swimming leap thing and apparently there was ledges or bars on ground that you could've used for against current, so game just wasn't clear about that.
At the 2 hour 40ish mark when you were struggling to swim and said it was broken, you were supposed to grab the bars on the bottom to get through that section.
@@star22sally67 I know, but that was the only thing I disliked. However, I don't think the game made it clear to do so. I still loved this video over one guy that played it, dude gave it 5/10 and I disliked his video. Minx's reaction and rating was a 10/10 for me.
Well, you could see even if not super clearly that they were yellow if you just look down and alto this is easier said than done bcs of the tension this game is good at keeping, it really just makes sense. Most seem to figure it out if only they *look down* which most people do since they don't jump to the conclusion that the controls are broken rather than that they're doing something wrong and up and down is your only options here Or they could just have added the little line 'leap forwards along the bottom' or something, that's also true
Aberdonian here, good to see Aberdeen in a horror game and to hear they used people wi' the accents. A lot of folk used to work on the oil rigs but were reluctant to tell anyone due to a number of reasons including the danger and distance even if the pay was good
13:00 - Neeps and tatties are turnips and potatoes. Typically served mashed, IIRC. Only know it because the main character from a mystery series I read a lot of is Scottish by heritage, and a traditional Scottish meal served in one book was haggis with neeps and tatties. The worst thing about a situation that precipitated the whole plot is that it's very, very realistic. Dangerous workplaces like oil rigs running on skeleton crews while the structure itself is poorly built and barely maintained because corporate can't be assed to do it properly? Unfortunately common. People often refuse to do the right thing when it comes to ensuring health and safety until something or somebody forces them to do it, either by enacting laws or regulations, or by undermining the system that allowed them to get away with it. There's a very good reason why they say that health and safety laws are written in blood.
The voice acting in this was phenomenal, really well done. The dialogue was humorous at times, which was a nice touch in a horror game, it breaks away from the monsters trying to kill you and the impending doom of dying. I do wonder what the blob blurs on the screen are, I've noticed it only pops up when he's near a monster or those walls of flesh. I wonder if it's a game design for the stress response, or if the thing they dug up is trying to infect him too, or if he's already infected. Pretty horrific how some of these characters died; not only does the character see some of these deaths, but he hears them during the phone calls; like with Bruce, listening to him drown was awful. Also, it's kind of freaky that the monsters still retain some of their humanity in a way, such as speaking to other characters and being able to feel emotion, but unable to control their physical bodies. It's ironic how Rennick's head is huge in monster form, considering his massive ego throughout most of the game. Out of all the monster encounters, Addair was the most horrific and suspenseful, it was definitely giving Alien Isolation vibes big time. The ending was a real tear-jerker. It's upsetting that people couldn't have been saved like Innes, Roy, Brodie Finlay, and our main character Caz.
The pain in the last bit was just perfect. The serenity, the silence of the sea. In death, what is left of you? For those who turned it must've been their last thoughts. The one who killed Innes must've thought of Innes in his final moments, he felt betrayed. Rennick's behavior and selfishness carried to his monster form- a head swollen with his ego along with Addair who swelled with pride.
This was one of the best playthroughs I've watched on here in a minute. I could genuinely feel the enjoyment Minx was having, even when she was frustrated with some parts. Phenomenal voice acting, and everything really immersed you into a foreboding atmosphere filled with body and cosmic horror.
Oh wow, characters from my neck of the woods in Scotland. That’s wild. Some of my family have worked on rigs. I always thought of the idea of being on one as a bit scary, never mind with this kind of eldritch horror included. Edit: Also, there was a massive disaster that is basically this without the monster, a really sad and preventable thing. The rig was called Piper Alpha, if I remember right.
I still really wanna know what happened between Brodie and Raff (the dude ping ponging around in the diving bell near the beginning). They could actually do spin off games set in this oil rig. I'd so love to see the moment of contact/corruption and Brodie's adventures.
Muirs model is extremely terrifying when you get a closer look on it. you cant really do that in game because of the fog and what not, but someone ripped the models out and put Rennick Muir Addair and Trots models to be looked at. its fascinating how they made the models have a core and the limbs/legs are not physical models but particle effects to save performance.
God damn, that was brilliant. Despite not delving too deep into who these characters are, I still cried like a baby at Roy and at the end. I'm starting to think that maybe horror needs the grief and tragedy to really hit home. And the body horror and general unknown horror of it all was great. Such a great game, I loved it.
Dang most realistic protag ever. Actually reacted to the screwed up things he saw and when told to do something sangerous by somebody else, his first responses were hell no instead of blindly following along lol awesome game
this deserves a movie, this kicks every horror movie out in the last 20 focking years, this gets inspiration from everything i love (the thing, dead space, stalker, lovecraft, etc) and it represents cosmic horror in a good way and human nature too, in a fucking good way, 10/10 from me
OH MY GOD MACHINE FOR PIGS REFERENCE!!! That game had such an impact on me when it came out, and it sucks so much that the only discussion of it you ever see is how it "didn't live up to the original" when like, yeah, it's a foundational text!
I'm really glad you made it past that frustrating part to the ending! It was super worth it. What a great game! :3 Been seeing a lot of quality cosmic horror lately and it makes me very happy.
The shite sure hit the drill here. Love the build up and atmosphere of this one~ Minx, you also completely missed/forgot where it said grab throwable objects to distract in the stealth sections. The entire area is littered with objects. Ah fuck... Roy's death was not a death I was ready for. Diabetic death is what I went through with my father last year. That was way too close to home...
I think this is my fave horror game that's come out this year so far. Roy's death hit me hard, though the entire game made me very emotional. I love when a game can make me tear up and/or cry.
I've always wondered what kind of valves we're closing during puzzles. Like, surely turning off multple-to-dozens of valves wouldn't cause issues elsewhere, right?
Oh almost undoubtedly, your essentially building up pressure in that pipe & it will cause problems there or in other places. But, usually later then like RIGHT Now
So nom! Loved the atmosphere, the scares, how tense it all felt. It was great! Not being able to save Roy was very bum. My guess is that there isn't anything we can do for him, either. That really sucks, he was cool.
I thought for sure that Caz would have survived somehow but right at end you'd see those effects on the screen and you'd know that he brought it with him to the mainland, but this is the better outcome.
consistently, minx is the first to play the next hit indie like this. had to wait to watch until i played for myself, and god damn was it a good game. it had some issues here and there but the strong points carried it imo
Bloody loved this game, really re-enforced my feeling that you can't pay me any amount of money to set foot on an oil rig, even without eldritch monstrosities
That whole thing with Roy pisses me off, as a type 1 diabetic, there is no situation in which that little time without insulin would kill someone with type 1 or 2. For how unfortunately common my condition is you’d think someone would get it right but I’ve yet to see any piece of media portray diabetes correctly.
1:08:07 Rennick: Aye sure we done dug too deep and too greedy but that isnt any reason to be losing our damn minds. Get the the evac or i'm leaving ya ere to deal with the whatever Old One we poked in the eye.

I lowkey wish we got Health and Safety inspector Minx back for this one like Alien Isolation, lots of hazards in this one
health and safety inspector minx is needed now more than ever
And lots of jam, too.
I think minx was just too immersed in this to do it 😂😂
Scary Minx would have ended that monster while laughing nonstop.
Shed tears on that ending. Goddamn it was good.
I looked up that swimming leap thing and apparently there was ledges or bars on ground that you could've used for against current, so game just wasn't clear about that.
withot you even saying that, I thought it must be to do with finding something to grab or use as leverage otherwise what gives you more momentum?
but the devs needed to make it idiot proof....
At the 2 hour 40ish mark when you were struggling to swim and said it was broken, you were supposed to grab the bars on the bottom to get through that section.
That's was lowkey starting to piss me off.

I knew because I read a book where they talked about making Cornish pasties 😅

i also can't wrap my head around bosses screaming on people myself,you don't even talk to your kids like that it's like they're talking to slaves

2:54:00 that door reveal. Wow that was so well timed if that was accidental. if not. that was such a well planned moment
OSHA would have a field day with that oil rig. Definitely not up to code on health and safety
God damn, that was brilliant. Despite not delving too deep into who these characters are, I still cried like a baby at Roy and at the end. I'm starting to think that maybe horror needs the grief and tragedy to really hit home. And the body horror and general unknown horror of it all was great. Such a great game, I loved it.

I feel Roy was one of the only 2 likable people in the game next to Finley, i started crying seeing him dead
One of the best dialogues I've ever heard in video game. Especially - horror videogame.
watched this game twice, with different youtubers, and i cried at the ending with Finley both times
God, Minx not being observant and thinking a section is broken when she just needed to look around a bit, makes it harder to watch sometimes.
No wonder Caz punched the hell out of that guy; he’s got upper body strength for days!
This was a pretty great game, I liked that the game showed the exact reasons I would never work on an oil rig.
Good Story, Great voice acting, AMZING monsters
there are rare occasions i want to try out a horror game, when i do Minx is one of the people i watch to look for some
This was a great game. Didn't think it would hit this hard. The voice acting was phenomenal.
this upload was perfect timing!!! sat down with dinner and there it was🤩🤩 love a longplay
so hyped this looks awesome! Loving these longplays !
OH MY GOD MACHINE FOR PIGS REFERENCE!!! That game had such an impact on me when it came out, and it sucks so much that the only discussion of it you ever see is how it "didn't live up to the original" when like, yeah, it's a foundational text!
that light coming from the lounge seems very "colour out of space" to me.
so far, it feels like the Thing, mixed with lovecraft.
the only way brodie dying could be better is if sky boat song started right after he mentioned skye. like a slow dirge version.
ok. that was eldritch horror done right. it was never explained, it just happened. and I'm stuck with this feeling of knowing the unknowable.
Stupid fucking good writing making me cry
That ending so bittersweet but when dealing with the threat they were dealing with its the best we can hope for
I'm really glad you made it past that frustrating part to the ending! It was super worth it. What a great game! :3 Been seeing a lot of quality cosmic horror lately and it makes me very happy.
We've found the only streamer on the internet who liked "Machine for Pigs".
Oh this is a great one!! Thanks for the long play!
The shite sure hit the drill here. Love the build up and atmosphere of this one~

Ah fuck... Roy's death was not a death I was ready for. Diabetic death is what I went through with my father last year. That was way too close to home...
man, the dialogue in this game slapped. Bloody heck, I wanna cry
This was such an amazing game, so intense, impactful and ao fucking sad - thanks for aharing this with us Minx!
This game had really good voice acting, it felt more real and consistent than other games.
Been looking forward to this game for a while now
When I tell you I have been waiting for this game and you to play it 👏
Amazing gameplay! I am glad to have watched it while working
I think this is my fave horror game that's come out this year so far. Roy's death hit me hard, though the entire game made me very emotional. I love when a game can make me tear up and/or cry.
Have been looking forward to this for a while ❤

Oh almost undoubtedly, your essentially building up pressure in that pipe & it will cause problems there or in other places. But, usually later then like RIGHT Now
That was excellent. Thanks for playing it. 💜
Holy shit, this is such a cool game! Thanks for playing so I can watch it! 😁
Minx's voice will always be my all time favorite
This was really enjoyable and creepy to watch! Thank you Minx for playing it!
Sweet! Been looking forward to this playthrough.
finally, scottish accents in games that sound real!
I really loved watching this playthrough! It was scary, dark and unpredictable! Thank you for continuing with youtube videos and play throughs!
Damn, this one had me crying as well!
So nom! Loved the atmosphere, the scares, how tense it all felt. It was great!
Not being able to save Roy was very bum. My guess is that there isn't anything we can do for him, either. That really sucks, he was cool.
I cried so hard at the end. Imma play it myself now. Thank you Minx
Ooh, this sounds like it'll be nice and spooky!
Still early but so far, really enjoying this game for the setting alone.
This was a good one. Pulled on the heartstrings something fierce
“The trailer had quite some fucked up stuff in it”, you say?
Awesome game! And very heartbreaking indeed😢, but as usual you were awesome and funny ❤❤
ahhh yay this looks like it'll be an interesting one!
I love that you played this game. It's epic.
Looking forward to watching this! 😊
Edit: Sadly looks like the internet here sucks too much to watch it :(((
Oil rig horror that's a good one I like the concept a whole lot
Great game! I like how they never explained what exactly the nastiness infesting the oil rig was.
Mommy Minx cranking out long plays left and right! Don’t burn yourself out too much! 🫶
this is the best game you’ve played in such a long time (which says more about the current state of horror games than anything else)
The upper body strength of our protag is crazy lol
The age old saying still rings true: Gamers do not look up.
Great game.
The manic and ecleptic transitions and flashbacks are so early 2000s like 13 ghosts mixed with Gothika style
This was genuinely so intense omfg
I'm just leaving a comment here minx I just started this today and loving it
Loving the longplays, Minx
Oh new video time❤❤
I thought for sure that Caz would have survived somehow but right at end you'd see those effects on the screen and you'd know that he brought it with him to the mainland, but this is the better outcome.
Omf a scottish horror game. One from my home country! 😊❤❤
So excited for this
I nearly cried. Good game
When Roy died that was the most I've hurt seeing a death since Amnesia the Bunker. Damn man.
I was face palming so hard at the under water level. There were bars at the bottom. Made me so annoyed
This was not what I expected at all in the best way!!
Logged in to this vid just to hear minx. Been so long.
soooo ready to watch this one!!
god this was SO SO GOOD!!!! such a damned good game, and i started crying at Roy's death, and the tears never stopped 😭
Voice acting was so good in this game
consistently, minx is the first to play the next hit indie like this. had to wait to watch until i played for myself, and god damn was it a good game. it had some issues here and there but the strong points carried it imo
2:21:27 Used heaters like those, unironically great.
Bloody loved this game, really re-enforced my feeling that you can't pay me any amount of money to set foot on an oil rig, even without eldritch monstrosities
This is probably the best horror game of 2024
Love it!
I'm invested.
That whole thing with Roy pisses me off, as a type 1 diabetic, there is no situation in which that little time without insulin would kill someone with type 1 or 2. For how unfortunately common my condition is you’d think someone would get it right but I’ve yet to see any piece of media portray diabetes correctly.
I'm not crying, there's just something in my eye 😢
Wow that was really good. Reminded me of a mix of Alien Isolation and Soma
The US financial year is October 1 to September 30
Uhh... Minx... You were supposed to be right on the floor in the dashing bits.
Beautiful and devastating
Yeah i freaking cried. Must be the mom in me
1:08:07 Rennick: Aye sure we done dug too deep and too greedy but that isnt any reason to be losing our damn minds. Get the the evac or i'm leaving ya ere to deal with the whatever Old One we poked in the eye.
Pontoons are floaty things
