Small detail for those who don't know, 5d Chess with Multiverse Time Travel is tagged as a Psychological horror on steam, for obvious reasons I suppose
@@marionlazatin4450 I guess from the name, you go back in time to kill your mother's opponent thus preventing him to ever checkmate you in the first place.
@@2ndeaster Basically because rooks move in a straight line through time, if you put on on a tile that has been unoccupied since the start of the game, there is no limit to how far back you can go. 80 turns in and don't like what you're seeing? Restart with a new timeline where you have a second rook.
I've been speedrunning Slayers X and it's a ton of fun. It's the very first game I've ever speedrun, and I've found some major skips, and now hold the world record! I really hope that this video brings us some new competition because more people deserve to know about the amazing speedrun it has
It gives me Kiss Psycho Circus vibes! Love that he made his own and took his own creativity to it. Unfortunately kiss psycho circus is a REALLY good game for kids needing nightmares 😂 but it was only emulated for Dreamcast and I can’t seem to fix my buttons unless I got a Dreamcast controller to play it. Hope ya look into it 🔥
The idea of using a recursive acronym for a 5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel strategy is genius and absolutely fits the theme of the game: somehow both fun and needlessly complicated
Wtf is with other people commenting and ripping on dnd? That game’s sick. How sad does your life have to be to think that the game that lets you explore with your imagination on a vast adventure through various settings with all types of colorful characters and genuinely engaging combat is bad? 😬
anytime im having a rough day, feeling down, or honestly need comfort of any sorts.... i play short hike. i cant keep count how many times i've played this game. i always take my time, discover every nook and cranny, and every time i get to the end where you fly around the mountain is such a beautiful sight. the colors, the characters, the pixel art style, the music, the effects. its adoring. There is this one spot near the top where there is a small hot spring that i'll just stand in and sometimes draw it. its really calming to me just watching Clair relax. I highly suggest you play this game.
I remember playing Peglin with a couple friends, they spent hours just finishing all the levels and having so much fun. it really struck good for me and them.
As someone in their early 30's who grew up around a dad working in advertising, I really enjoy adds that are up front. "I am being paid to tell you about this, you now know it exists, consider buying it." Like a breath of fresh air.
@@TubeytimeNot really, that's how ads were in the past, and people ignored them, thus Ad makes started doimg crazy stuff to grab your attention. Some did it well, like Manscaped with the whole _Balls_ thing, Old Spice too, but some just went off the rails
@@null6209 The reason ppl ignored them is because the novelty wore off and they became background noise. Now that ads are all crazy, one that's normal will feel novel and get people's attention again. It's psychology.
@@TubeytimeI feel it went full circle now? I would be willing to bet that most people brains just "censor" (conscious or not) every ad they see on a screen, like they don't exist at all in the visual space. Im pretty sure I read somewhere about how it's like saying the same word 30 times, it lose meaning. That's why an add that's like "I'm just a person, I got paid to say this but I do think you would like it" come off far better than "normal" ads, specially if you actually "know" (not really but that's another can of worms) the person (UA-camr in this case) Pd: I'm a pirate and unless I actually want to support whoever it's behind the thing (or add) you will see me sailing the 7 seas.
I'm in my mid 20s with a very similar outlook! I also like when ads are presented like TV ad breaks because that's how I'm used to seeing ads from my childhood
I can’t believe that Duskers got mentioned at all online. it’s such a hidden gem with a minuscule but loyal community. thank you so much for bringing Duskers to your audience’s attention!
It's still fondly remembered among small communities. The Scavenger SV-4 and Swirl W@tch communities cite it whenever they try to get someone into the game. The tension of inconclusive motion scanners followed by a Leaper jumpscare is right up that alley
The thing I've learned about 5D chess is that it's not actually *complicated,* so much as difficult to keep track of. The rules are pretty much the same as normal chess, just with two additional directions pieces can pick from when moving. But you end up with so many boards, and having to make so many moves per turn, that it FEELS complex due to the human brain struggling to process all of it at once.
I tried The Forgotten City on a whim a while back when it was on Gamepass, and I was BLOWN AWAY. Played through the whole thing in just a few sittings. I am not usually a mark for that kind of game, but it just DEVOURED every moment of free time I had, because it was just so interesting.
I remember thinking it was just another random medieval game and picked it up because why not only to be wowed by what I actually got. It's such a unique concept, and the more I played and the more mysteries I solved, the deeper it sucked me into its world
I still can't believe that a SKYRIM MOD was so good that it managed to spawn its own game that people actually take seriously instead of just associating it with it original mod. That takes incredible skill. I've played the mod and definitely do think it deserved what it got, it was a great mod.
Same, was just interested in skyrim mods especially ones that add more "roleplay-y" aspects like hunger/thirst bar, whatnot. Didn't really look into the details of Forgotten City and just thought it'd be cool to experience a new side quest. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. So glad it's now a standalone title.
I'm so excited that THe Forgotten City is in this video! I played the Skyrim mod a few years ago and absolutely loved it. When I heard that the dev made it into its own game I played it immediately! Such an underrated game
I love how noodle always finds a way to insult his entire audience 20 times a minute yet his videos are still entertaining enough for the 90% of them to watch all the way through.
It was a DWEMER style game originally it was DWEMER first that means DWARVEN it was made by DWEMER DWARVES first before it was ROMAN it was DWEMER! This is DWARF ERASURE and I will NOT STAND FOR IT!!!
I want to give you huge props for the 90s/early 00s commercial bit actually lowering the resolution instead of just putting a vhs filter over crisp 1080p footage
16:31 I love how the drones can fail without the play through dying . In regular horror games or just games in general, if you die, you respawn in like 5 seconds and don’t loss much progress, but with this it’s actually really bad to die
I was surprised and excited to see you mention 5D chess with multipverse time travel. I'm glad you did. I absolutely adore the game and it needs more players
I'd also like to add Backpack Hero to this list. Its a grid-based inventory management roguelike where all of the combat takes place via items in your inventory. They have a lot of unique mechanics, such as arrows needing free space in front of each arrow, the more space, the more damage or a character that changes your backpack into a logic gate system like Minecraft's redstone circuits.
THEY MADE A ZANE ROCKS 14 GAME THAT IS SO AWESOME DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also I really loved that ad break, great VHS effect and it was really charming too!
"I 100% agree with this list of indie games and think everyone should play them immediately and also donate at least 2 organs per developer team"... please, Mr. Noodle, let my family go now...
So glad you covered Slayers X! Your last video led to Hypnospace becoming one of my favorite games ever, almost poetic that you’d come back for the spinoff/pseudo-sequel thing
Wow, Duskers looks and sounds INCREDIBLE. Love this sort of atmospheric horror. Reminds me of old point and click adventures that reveal a horror story as you go along, with fully overhauled modern gameplay.
You are the only person that can make me repeat the ad just because I found it so fun and engaging lmao 4:40 I can't stop laughing at this "the thing I bought no workie" "grow up, everything I HAVE works great"
It was so out of left field when I saw Duskers on here. I played it so much at a point that I began thinking in command prompts. Also, that game is terrifyingly brutal
Noodle, you put me onto Peglin and I downloaded it on Iphone almost immidietly after seeing the video. Almost a year and a half later I have completed every cruciball level on svery character, gotten every achievement, and am currently working on the Beastiary that was added in recent months… Thank you :)
no matter how many of these games I might be able to play, I’m still gonna sit and watch these videos probably 20 times over bc idk I just think they’re neat
I got a suggestion for you (non negotiable) Airships: Conquer the Skies is simply one of the best grand strategy games I have played. Built on a solid core of ship building and fleet command, the game has been constantly updated for the better part of a decade to become one of the most complete and complex Grand Strategy games out there. For me, the crazy thing is just how addicting it is, because there is always something you can do, and with how varied the various activities are, it's just really hard to get bored. Design a new ship to counter a pesky enemy, sent a small fleet to defeat a sky kraken, mess around with diplomacy to see what nation you can extort protection money from.
Oh my god forgotten city was just so beatiful. It was simple, direct and not overwhelming at all. I loved every second of it and definiteld recommend to anyone. Right now there are two other indies I'm waiting: Anomaly Agnet and Once Alive. Anomaly Agent is a 2d action platformer with really smooth combat and captivating pixelart visuals. It really reminds me of Katana Zero. Other game is a post apocalyptic walking simulator and there is something about this game that I feel very invested. Not sure if it's genre or atmosphere, but I can't wait to play.
It’s funny how none of these are games that I will ever play, they just don’t tickle my interest, but I watched this entire video because this dude is just fun to watch. Never seen him before, instant subscribe
If you liked The Forgotten City I recommend you to play Outer Wilds as well. I've heard several people compare them already and they really have several similarities in gameplay which I'd say Outer Wilds implements beautifully into its design and themes. It's a nice little space travel sim that you'll want to go into blind since its only form of progression is the acquisition and use of knowledge.
I loved The Forgotten City but hated Outer Worlds. Since the one focuses heavily on dialogues and the other one basically doesn't have any it's a bad comparison imho
Rarely any games make use of the powershell for such tactics in Duskers, i have seen them, but not enough great stuff! wished i found this game earlier..
I was literally playing 5d chess while this was playing in the background, and I would just like to say: I have never heard a more accurate summary about anything else before
another good one I've been playing recently is Voices of the Void - a game heavily inspired by Signal Simulator. Disclaimer, this game is still in active development and there's bound to be save-breaking updates and all sorts of glitches. In it, you play as a scientist working in an isolated radio telescope array in the mountains in Switzerland. Your job is to scan the sky for signals, catalog them, process them, and ship them off to your employers on magnetic tape drives, all while unusual phenomena start to happen in the wilderness around you.
I can absolutely recommend Duskers. I remember getting hooked up into it, as an concept it's brilliant and tense. but man... I do get scared when the enemies manage to surprise and I start doing dumb mistakes in panic. Visually it's also just... The drone view is so facinatingly well done. But it's also fun, while being hard as what 👍
Gonna say the only one of these I'm interested in is forgotten city, that being said you are awesome for spreading awareness about these games I hope these devs are blessed with sales.
noodles adbreaks are genuinely clever and hit the year right on the nose. He really understands fine production details and every little part of his videos are worth the experience. love ur stuff man
Forgotten City was my favorite game after a long time of no favorite games. It was so distinct from other games, the premise was so simple set up and interesting that it drew you in and the characters, story and pacing were so good, that I finished in one flow (3 days, stops for work and sleep). Up to this point, it holds a special place. And the backstory motivated me to start into making a walking sim in some kind of that manner.
Really glad I looked up your aspect ratio video to rewatch it for the 100th time only to see you had uploaded this, I completely missed this upload in my subbox. Really happy you talked about Slayers X
9:21 "ad hominem" ~aimed at the man. Basically it's like calling your brother adopted when arguing over whos turn it is to wipe grandpa or saying your opponent has a small "personality" when you're debating whether spicy glue counts as a hot sauce.

Small detail for those who don't know, 5d Chess with Multiverse Time Travel is tagged as a Psychological horror on steam, for obvious reasons I suppose
I mean, yes. It IS psychologically horrifying.
I had a huge bout of existential dread after I played it.
10/10, would experience the all-consuming pointlessness of existence again.
I found it relatively simple myself. For time based psychological horror I'd go for a more scripted, story focused game, like In Stars and Time
ISAT ISAT ISAT :D
It's like DnD in that
5D Chess is fun. I love it how the 5D Chess community coined the phrase "Terminator Gambit"
That was the Warhammer 40K community but close enough

It's a nice little space travel sim that you'll want to go into blind since its only form of progression is the acquisition and use of knowledge.
Outer Wilds is like Forgotten City if it was awesome.
@@VegasA3 its like DnD in thar sense
I loved The Forgotten City but hated Outer Worlds. Since the one focuses heavily on dialogues and the other one basically doesn't have any it's a bad comparison imho
@@LorDofNerdsOfficialThe Outer Worlds or Outer Wilds? TOW was an Obsidian title and dubbed "Fallout in Space" before Starfield came out.
@@IanBPPK I have to google everytime - sorry :D Yeah, I mean the artsy exploration timeloop game, not the Bethesda clone.
It's really cool seeing someone else finally know what 5d chess with multiverse time travel is
Loving the intermission stuff 😊
Duskers is very very very very very very good
Genuinely terrified
Peggle, Zuma, PvZ, and Bejeweled being mentioned at the same time nearly killed me from the noatalgia supernova going off in my brain
slayers X looks like the most late 90s/early 2000s shit ever i love it
Peglin was a fantastic indie game BEFORE they added 4 times as many classes, and doubled the orbs and relics. Now it's an incredible indie game.
I’m SO glad you brought up Duskers because it’s a game I’ve enjoyed for a while and feel like it’s way too slept on!
6:37 noodle as lowtiergod made me lose my shit 💀
lowtiernoodle
Rarely any games make use of the powershell for such tactics in Duskers, i have seen them, but not enough
great stuff! wished i found this game earlier..
7:44 turns out it's a Low Tier God.
I was literally playing 5d chess while this was playing in the background, and I would just like to say: I have never heard a more accurate summary about anything else before
another good one I've been playing recently is Voices of the Void - a game heavily inspired by Signal Simulator. Disclaimer, this game is still in active development and there's bound to be save-breaking updates and all sorts of glitches.
In it, you play as a scientist working in an isolated radio telescope array in the mountains in Switzerland. Your job is to scan the sky for signals, catalog them, process them, and ship them off to your employers on magnetic tape drives, all while unusual phenomena start to happen in the wilderness around you.
Very solid suggestion. I didn't get it but it appears to be enjoyable to others I follow
Well I'm sold on Peglin now. I've been considering it for like the past year, but everytime I see people play it it's always just super simple.
I can absolutely recommend Duskers.
I remember getting hooked up into it, as an concept it's brilliant and tense.
but man... I do get scared when the enemies manage to surprise and I start doing dumb mistakes in panic.
Visually it's also just... The drone view is so facinatingly well done.
But it's also fun, while being hard as what 👍
Tried the Forgotten City after a reviewer complained about it. I thoroughly enjoyed the game's story and characters, even their Patches clone.
patches clone, damn it now i have to buy it just to murder that scum bum
Dude. Again. Absolutely. Hilarious. I’m glad I found you. We have similar sense of humor and I find myself laughing at everything. Thank you❤
18:50 It is also a Rogue-like (c)
"I have 4 kings to worry about now"
"Sounds like a you problem bro, fuckin bureaucracy's a bitch.."
got me rollin LMAO
Gonna say the only one of these I'm interested in is forgotten city, that being said you are awesome for spreading awareness about these games I hope these devs are blessed with sales.
I played the forgotten city with my brother and cousin and we were so involved in it we ended up getting all three endings and it was a blast
I believe there are four!
this is such a great companion video to your video on baulders gate
I love how Noodles home keeps evolving
noodles adbreaks are genuinely clever and hit the year right on the nose. He really understands fine production details and every little part of his videos are worth the experience. love ur stuff man
9:47 the epitome of Noodle's humor with this bit
YES! Duskers is SO underrated! I'm so glad that you mentioned it!
The teacher keeping the entire class behind because of the class clown: 7:33
This comment is so underrated 😭
Your house is gradually turning to mossy mush. I love it! Also I played D&D recently. It was fun. It's like D&D in that way!
6:30
Yo I need to know where this sound is from again because WOW this unlocked a core memory somewhere...
I could never imagine me enjoying a video based on 5 games that are too advanced for my understanding but here I am I guess
0:11
Jokes on you, I'm watching this in my room.
Crime is so bad out here now even the thumbnails are holding me at gunpoint 😳
Forgotten City was my favorite game after a long time of no favorite games.
It was so distinct from other games, the premise was so simple set up and interesting that it drew you in and the characters, story and pacing were so good, that I finished in one flow (3 days, stops for work and sleep). Up to this point, it holds a special place. And the backstory motivated me to start into making a walking sim in some kind of that manner.
Really glad I looked up your aspect ratio video to rewatch it for the 100th time only to see you had uploaded this, I completely missed this upload in my subbox.
Really happy you talked about Slayers X
I can already see Nolan playing 5D Chess against Grandmasters and possibly winning
9:21 "ad hominem" ~aimed at the man. Basically it's like calling your brother adopted when arguing over whos turn it is to wipe grandpa or saying your opponent has a small "personality" when you're debating whether spicy glue counts as a hot sauce.
Bro😂
Hot sauce, its hot sauce.
with every video he uploads, im more and more stunned by just how many videos of people eating paper he has.
also good games
In case you were unaware, he asked for more of such videos on twitter because he ran out lol
The setup for that dnd burn for 5D chess was so well executed omg lol
This whole video is like dnd in a way
