The strange creatures in the golf game, are actually a joke on the famous "Flatwood Monster" sights rumored to be aliens. Those guys also appeared in Majora's Mask as "ghosts" that abduct cows.
For some reason it seems that japanese people love the Flatwood aliens. And all that for one nocturne owl mistaken as a person...
OMG YES FINALLY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS IT WAS A BARN OWL
I was about to say that.
Showed up in Tomodachi Life aswell
yep barn owl holding it head low and tail up in defensive posture because it was spooked
I wonder how confused the owl was when the guys who saw it started screaming for no reason.
Hey, so. In the golf game. The figure is called "Flatwoods Monster" Pretty sure
I was going to say that. That figure looks like the Flatwoods Monster, which is an urban legend about a creature/alien that lives in... West Virginia (Thanks for enlightening this Aussie man, UA-cam comments!)?? I could be wrong about that, but I do know that it looks a LOT like that monster. Very creepy looking.
it's the top comment..
@@wartortle577 I actually went through a few comments before I saw this one first, but yes, the most liked comment is indeed about it too.
@@pioletjethorse9134 There we go, I thought it was something along those lines.
That's exactly what I thought and was gonna comment! It looks just like the depictions of the Flatwoods Monster.
Regarding that "plush man spider" thing, my guess is they were going to make a spider plushie, tested out the design with an existing model, then decided against it but left that model in.
ACCIDENtally OR nOT
Doesn't explain how they went out of their way to name the model 'PlushieManSpider'.
@@dreadlordhg360 yea and the humanlike appearance
They probably just thought that it was funny and left it in
@@ConFlow247 "hey bro! Look at my plushiemanspider"
*show a terrifying spider with human body
"Lmao thats so funny"
The "Neck Snapping Ghost" in Outer Wilds is probably because there's Ghost Matter which kills you if you get near it, and when you die in Outer Wilds, the sound that plays is your neck snapping.
That's exactly what I was thinking too.
so it IS there but we just never realized it.
makes sense knowing that Ghosts aren't usually visible
Well that surely was unexpected
And now the invisible planet has been "solved".
Mild Spoilers for Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye.
The Outer Wilds 'neck snapping ghost' is actually code for a DLC which has now been released, 'Echoes of the Eye' in which there are mysterious figures that you meet.
These figures are met under a simulation, where you hold an artefact to join their realm, and they are hostile to you. Usually they would blow out your artefact's flame to send you out of the simulation, but if you are not holding it and get caught, they instead, snap your neck.
The 'Invisible Planet' is literally what it says on the tin, it is an invisible planet which you fly into to get to the DLC itself, nothing more can be said about it, it is just the method of getting to the DLC.
Hope this clears things up, hello future answer-seekers!
If that thing is NOT a very troubled employee trying to get back at the developer/trying to document what he was going through using the game, the dude needs to be given a raise because that was dark as hell.
the best game mysteries seem to be caused by schizophrenic developers
the kamaitachi no yoru 2 thing was absolutely intentional - the first game contained a similar fourth-wall-breaking easter egg (found by reading just the first letter of every line) left by the supposed “writer” as well, saying that the company is going to kill him once him once he finishes work on this game, that the company has been putting subliminal messages in their games since torneko’s mystery dungeon, and that once all the little kids who grew up playing chunsoft games grow up they’ll be brainwashed into buying chunsoft-brand food, life insurance, etc. and then the easter egg cuts off mid sentence saying “oh god i think i hear their footsteps outsi-“
so, yeah. 100% a series staple, though i’m not surprised there’s not much information out there in english about this.
Either that or someone trolling whoever is datamining their games.
@@eban. That's even cooler if it's a nice creepy staple.
@@eban. I've been playing enough video games to know that developers love to mess with the players, so whenever stuff like this shows up I immediately assume that it's intentional. And anything recent is done to get on lists like this one. These things are usually done to get people talking about the game, and it works
The Psycholonauts one isn't really that out of place, there is a ton of dark undertones and themes in that game.
it fits with milla's character too. each of the counselors seem to deal with a different mental health issue, and milla's issue seems to be PTSD and the unhealthy suppression of her trauma as opposed to dealing with it appropriately. those details is part of what i love about psychonauts. milla is a flawed character but not in an unlikeable way. she just has shit to deal with like everyone else.
i'm only a little bit into the game and honestly, despite only playing a couple hours, even i gotta agree
@@rachelnelson3765 Hope you’re excited for the sequel. :)
He hasn't played the game. He often doesn't. Just another gaming channel repeating facts they are only vaguely familiar with instead of doing proper research & actually playing the games themselves.
A Gamer Aaron i mean sure he isn’t super familiar with all the games he covers but Oddheader does a decent amount of work compared to others. He contacts and interviews developers who work on the games, has a network of info gatherers across his Discord, reddit, and email, and does general research beyond what a google search will give you. I get what you’re saying about gaming youtubers just repeating something they’ve read, but Oddheader isn’t the best target for that kind of criticism
I’ll say one thing, all the Japanese games I’ve played haunt me. The Japanese delve so deep into horror that I wouldn’t be surprised if someone went insane creating it.
I know...
Super Mario Bros. gave me nightmares after I beat Bowser.
D:
@@charbomber110 me too I had sleep paralysis after killing a goomba...
@@Dqpeanutbuster Same. I remember all their faces 😥
Same i now have flashbacks of Vietnam after playing Pokémon emerald
In the Psychonauts one, if you activate the subtitles, they'll always have the face of the character who's talking in that moment. In this case, you'll see ghostly faces engulfed in flames and screaming while saying those things to Mila.
Mila will also try to keep you from going in there saying things like "There's nothing to see here, why don't you come back to the party?"
The manspider looks like one of the 3d modellers got bored and made something silly for fun
looks like a pun on Spider-Man, yknow, Man-Spider.
Instead of a Man in a Spider suit, it's a Spider in a Man suit
It reminds me of the form patches takes in bloodborne actually
I think he did a nice job
@@paymankhayree8552 he did do a good job modeling it
I believe tower unite used fuse to create 3d models, I've seen a lot of games do that. It's interesting to see they've got a semi custom model, though. Weird.
The Playstation 2 getting crushed hurt me in a spiritual level.
Ikr
Don't worry it's a slim
Same
I paused and went "nooooo....whyyyy"
As someone who had a PS2 *it hurts*
For those watching in the future, the Outer Wilds mystery has been solved! The "invisible planet", "haunted" areas, and even the "Neck Snap Ghost", are all assets that are used- no spoilers as to how- in the game's expansion pack, "Echoes of the Eye". I guess these are just aspects that were left in the base game while it was being developed.
MAN imagine being one of those players to initially discover the code and then see the trailer months later and like instantly connect those dots that's gotta be really exhilarating
@@masonoreilly7512 I actually had something like that happen. There is an area of the game, Dark Bramble, which is bigger on the inside when the player travels in. To make this happen the game actually creates a massive black sphere on the far edge of the map to put you in. If you've fired a scout probe into Dark Bramble the game will have to create this extra space where you could potentially stumble into it, so it's entirely black, making it impossible to see far off. Unless you're randomly trucking around the solar system and fly into it. There aren't any physics attached to it so you can't actually collide with it, you just sort of slide off the surface of a sudden mass of starless empty sky. There's just a patch of no stars that grows as you get closer. It took me ages to figure out what it was when it suddenly disappeared because I recalled my scout probe and I understood, and for that time of confusion I was shitting bricks about not being alone in space. Kind of a massive relief to find out I'd just hit a wall of code and not some horrific eldritch terror lurking around. Then I got the DLC and they added in a lurking terror planet anyways so whatever.
Gordon: * can survive 100 bullets without dying *
Gordon in the death scene: * instantly dies from a single bullet *
2:01 Hotshots Golf is a depiction of the 1952 Flatwoods Monster.
I was about to comment about their striking similarity, but you beat me to heat by three solid hours. Good job =)
i thought he would know what it was
Yep, and fun fact, the flatwoods monster is now believed to just be a afraid owl, which owls are common in the area the first sighting was spotted, and most owls are afraid of humans and try to scare them away before hitting the road
@@crushersbutlessedgynow I personally believe that it was too brief and strange of an encounter to have any set answer that we know, if the group got a better look or there were multiple encounters than maybe but I think it's better to leave it as a mystery and let it rest as an unexplained myth (basically, it probably was an owl but I want to believe)
@@breadcat9290 multiple encounters aren't reliable though, they always come after the first and we always have to account for the fact that they wanted to be famous
Also, when someone shot a snowy owl (if i remember correctly was one of the 4 that originally saw the flatwoods monster), the reliable sightings ended
Imagine playing a meme game solving a puzzle just to be abducted.
nono i aint dealing with that shit
10:57 After saying "game" so many times, the text starts saying the lyrics to Gegege no Kitaro, which is a cartoon from the 60s. I think after reading the word "game (geimu)" repeatedly, the developer got the theme song to Gegege no Kitaro stuck in their head. This is actually quite funny, and makes the easter egg a lot less scary!
Dude has to go see a therapist
Japanese horror never fail to give us chills, I literally feel a cold current running through my body even my fingers started to shake in place when the scene with the weird sound played
Thats a HUGE ASSet 1:31 I see what you did there buddy haha
*_thicc_*
*E X T R A T H I C C*
caught robbin again bro
Just thought of that
Clever, oddheader, sooooo clever.
The dark secret in that japanese game should be one of the biggest wtf in the history of games. Godalmighty , I feel sorry for whoever employee went that batshit crazy
I heard that it’s just part of the game
Art shall calm the irritated and irritate the calm.
@@drsipp407 where
if it's true, then the "this is such a game" one might've been them going crazy trying to convince themselves it was a game
@@drsipp407 That's the most likely one
Number 2 just sounds like a great easter egg for what I understand to be a genuinely good horror VN series. Most likely pure fiction, but the uncertainty and strangeness of it really adds to the power of its presentation. Nothing's quite as uniquely creepy as finding something like this hidden in a video game. The first four dothack games actually used this feeling to its advantage.
Do they really? I always wanted to play those games but I thought they were just regular JRPGs
I loved dothack for that exact reason, the unexplainable creepy mysteries
Remember how some sand zones randomly had massive celestial human bodies that would fly by and then disappear?
God the Japanese are on another level entirely with their horror.
Yeah. That's all I can say, just... yeah.
I mean... they make games bigger and "better than what we can do. (example: Nintendo lol)
I wouldn't be surprised if the horror games are scarier than the movies we've seen
@@frozenfiredarknight3764 not every game is bigger and better in Japan lmao they make small and garbage games too.
also, American horror movies are pretty trash because they're mostly jumpscares. it's not hard to find things that are scarier.
@@frozenfiredarknight3764 I mean Rockstar is pretty god tier, dare I say better, than Nintendo.
@@frozenfiredarknight3764 Place, Japan headass
10:57
"GeGeGe no Kitarō" is the name of a long running, classic manga series about ghost and yokai, well worth checking out. Wouldn't be surprised if there are more references to it in that whole spooky section.
Seems like a great manga, nothing like the things Japan have been doing recently. Art style is really pretty, I'll look into it, as I like the themes
Does it relate
@@Phasma_Tacitus How pretty is the art style?
@@michaelandreipalon359 Pretty old pretty
@@Phasma_Tacitus Please elaborate.
It's so odd, but the creepiest possible display for the Japanese game is the fourth one, where it just shows the beach image and then goes back quickly
It's like... It's so normal that something must be off... But it's changed so quickly, like you're not supposed to see it......
The number 4 is unlucky in Japan cuz one way to pronounce it is "shi" which also means "death/死"
Japan is filled with these out of this world disturbing things while other regions also have it mostly they stuck homebrew or people usually being locked down for everyone's safety while in Japan these type of things become products.
people should try to find that place in real world, like those thousand people that found the location/seed from minecraft's vanilla texture pack preview image
Yeah, i literally threw up when i inspected the picture thoroughly. As I'm watching right now, i feel goosebumps even if it's noon
@@dapotatoboii8601 im late but what did you find?
That Kamaitachi no Yoru one made sure i'll never be able to sleep again
"Phyc-"
"This is the burning orphanage story, right?"
"yeah"
"Kany-"
"ASCEND?"
"yeah"
lol i feel that as soon as i hear either of those words mentioned in an easter egg video i just skip ahead to the next section
wow ur so smart and so much better than anyone for knowing about those things before watching the video!!! XDDDD so epic
@@tk7977 thank you someone finally agrees with me
Yes, but more specifically, the extra cut audio. It's a new facet to an already known secret.
The cut dialogue from the Psychonauts Easter egg probably refers to the fact that the nightmare monster was going to be part of the main level. Mila was supposed to have a flashback and lose control of her nightmare, causing it to attack the kids in her mind. It was cut because it didn't make sense story-wise. Mila was supposed to be a professional so the idea of her randomly losing control and putting the kids in danger made her seem incompetent.
I like how they just made it as a little backstory thing you can miss.
Is that why the nightmare monster can be found in boyd's level
I found the Psychonauts one while playing it. It was horrifying.
How old were you?
@@Monkerey I was 19. The idea of children dying in the fire and their caretaker hearing their cries of pain and calls for help was just unsettling and creepy in the way they presented it. It was an unexpected form of psychological terror.
I like how it takes special significance ingame - those monsters (nightmares) are hard to deal with, and there's like 6 or 8 of them... Goes to show you how well under control the camp counselor has them (she mentions this herself)
@@migueeeelet Indeed. But I heard the team behind Psychonauts wanted to have her nightmares get out and terrorize other minds and task Raz in stopping them before deciding Mila wouldn't let that happen due to her mastery of her mind and scrapped the idea.
I really pity Milla with that survivor's guilt of hers. Good thing she got someone who cares for her (despite him having some "difficulties" about his father) and is more stronger than that poor general.
Well, here's hoping the sequel's another success.
this is why i love oddheader, when he started talking about the creepy room in psychonauts i was like "i have seen this secret in a million videos, give me something new" but then he busts out cut dialogue from the files that i had never heard of! its amazing oddheader always brings up tottaly new super interesting mysteries that i never heard about, you do some seriously amazing stuff man
For that Japanese horror game, I have much reason to believe that it's talking about seppuku, where the host would not only cut themselves open in the abdomen, but would also disembowel themselves, sometimes used as a protesting gesture. Because some game designer found themselves fired, they added this in as a way of punishment toward the rest of the development team. When it refers to knowing that Christ was the Messiah, the text also mentions "That's why I shed blood and tore my belly to remove the yellow fat balls. It's like a frog dissection.". What else would they be talking about?
Nice! Very interesting observation!
Oddheader: Mentions Psychonauts
Me: He's gonna talk about Milla's secret room, isn't he.
I AM THE MILKMAN MY MILK IS DELICIOUSE SPECIAL DELIVERY
Yep
ok
Yup
I think that I already heard about it in an Easter Egg video.
"Talking about Christ, how to apply lotion, frog dissection..."
🎵O N E O F T H E M I S N O T L I K E T H E O T H E R🎵
Clearly it's the lotion one

@@MiikeFoxx yep this one officer
Kamaitachi is what sleep deprivation does to you.
The golf one is a figure called the Flatwoods Monster. Not only is its shape entirely identical to the real world legend, but there's an enemy based off it in Fallout 76 that is called the Flatwoods Monster with very very similar features
It's even in majora's mask
2:30 It is clearly a reference to the flatwoods monster
Indeed.
My fav cryptid, very popular in Japan
i love cryptids
Agreed.
I came to say this too... Nice
So Non-music is a musical genre. Yeah, that makes sense.
Well, noise "music" exists and I can warn you it isn't for everyone.
The non-music label on Discogs is supposed to refer to releases like audiobooks, speeches, sound effects, etc. Seems like it's not being used correctly here
I think this is supposed to be a similar term to anti-music. "Any form of music that defies convention to such a degree that some people would not recognise it as musical" ~ en.wiktionary.org/wiki/antimusic The anti-music movement can be tracked to Noisecore and Goregrind related genres.
I first thought it would be like what Tantacrul referred to in his "corporate music" video. That's still not music to me.
Honestly, what's presented sounds like gibberish more incoherent than a drunkard rambling about aliens. And yes, I know what that sounds like.
@@laughingfurry Well it sounds like that because the music is cut up into random pieces in this video, the original source material isn't actually that chaotic, here's the album he pulled the songs from: ua-cam.com/play/PLoPm0Yp0LD5TiCUtYDI7OtZdj2YGOsHiu.html
Developer: *forgets to delete a joke asset*
UA-camrs: "This is very scary!"
I am an extremely empathetic person and that thing and audio of Mila made my heart ache...
“Heartaches, heartaches,
By loving you meant only heaaartacches.
Your kiss was such a sacred thing to meee,
I can’t believe *It’s just a burning memory*
Heartaches, heartaches,
What does it matter how my heart breaks?
I should be happy with someone neeew, but,
My
Heart
Aches
For
You!”
@@KeedGmaer that’s my favorite song
That's how I felt for the worker of the Japanese visual novel entry.
Eh, the acting wasn't good enough to faze me.
The kanye quest cult is just an arg created by the game developer to get his music career going, which failed.
is there any hard proof of this anywhere? i mean i could understand if it was a failed arg
@@Asupreme there actually is! im pretty sure if you look up Kanye quest cult on youtube theres a video that goes into detail about it. the guy who made the video doesn't straight up say it's an arg (cause they want to make everything spooky for content) but theres alot of evidence of it just being an arg for the creators harsh noise/ electronic music project which i personally think is a very creative way of doing so. many bands like kfc murder chicks, pachinko, etc have done something similar.
XD
Nexpo?
@@roulis640 Yeah, Nexpo.
The Psychonauts one is pretty well known, that was the most unexpected thing in this video, to find something that wasn't obscure.
Except I didn't know about the cut audio (that was harrowing)
@@bloodrunsclear There's a lot of cut audio for Milla's stage. The ones where she's hearing the orphanage burn are the most infamous due to the in-game easter egg. There's also cut audio of her either fantasizing about making out with Sasha or it's audio of a memory she had with him, but it's never been explained why it's there.
It's the cut audio thats less known
I had no idea about the cut audio. I feel sick to my stomach ;-;
Yikes why do I watch before going to sleep?
the kamaitachi no yoru 2 is probably my favorite solely due to how out of nowhere it is. id rly love to see more shit like this in video games
i really shouldn't be watching videos like this this late because now i keep thinking im hearing mysterious sounds in my room smh
ik this was a year ago but ur good trust me you just tend to get more scared than you think just make sure to watch some funny vids right after
"This sentence was edited in by oddheader, as I just added it just for the sake of a joke, so if you're reading, congrats, you just found yourself an easter egg. I wonder how long this will take to find. I also fixed a typo that was in the definition."
13:31
How long did it take to find?
Wut i dont see it
@@vincentyzer1627
13:31 OP's comment is right before the transition to where it is.
Curious
@\\Hugh M Janus// in the last sentence
I think the "Neck Snap Ghost" stuff in Outer Wild's code might have something to do with the ghost matter mechanic in the game. It could be the early version of how the ghost matter kills your character because in the final game it kills you like theres energy physically crushing your character.
I’m not familiar with this game but the way its assets were named, it sounds like it could also work as a reference to PT. “HauntedRoom”, “HauntedEntrance” sounds like a hallway and a single a la the demo and the ghost connected to a neck snap, what Lisa does to the player when found.
@@TheOverachiever7 In the game theres areas that have ghost matter crystals scattered around and they indicate that ghost matter is nearby. It's highly dangerous and kills your character in seconds, it's practically invisible unless you use a probe to scout too. Its usually found in the ruins of the old civilization so those areas could be considered as haunted.
I just assumed it's there to mess with anyone viewing the code
just don't blink
@calv1nXh0bbes yeah, invisible planet sounds like the quantum moon. Idk about everything else tho
Something that should be noted about the Psychonauts secret is that, in addition to the obvious, since Mila is psychic she could presumably also feel the agony of their last moments. This could even be inferred from one of the stills in the Viewmaster reel.
People: oh yay! A game with all wholesome stuff and nothing bad in it!
Game designers: haha! *N O*
2:20 that figure has a striking resembles to the flatwoods monster, aka west virginia's second most popular urban legend
Wait, what's the first one?
Flatwoods monster, AKA: a barn owl
@@bloodrunsclear mothman
I think that's what it's supposed to be
Thank you for saying that, it was driving me nuts that he didn't know the reference
*Oddheader:* "Well, time to make a new video. I wonder what I should do for the intro..."
*His old consoles:* _Nervously sweating_
On Outer Wilds the invisible planet is the 6th one we have yet to find, in the game it metions a missing planet so maybe thats it. We still don't know yet.
wasn't that just the eye of the universe though? I'd absolutely love for there to be a secret planet in-game but I don't think there really is any proof of one yet or any hints towards there being one
Nope, its just DLC content 'Echoes of the Eye'
The invisible planet is the gateway to the DLC, that's all it is, it just happened to be in the code, because that's how DLC is made, usually behind the scenes.
There is a new dlc to outer wilds when you have an invisible ship haunted places and a new species that have an animation where they snap your neck to kill you. So I guess that's one of the mysteries solved
The hidden body in shadow tower reminds me a lot of the Resident Evil “Easter egg”, where if you were to hack the camera you would be able to see a body on one of the ceilings that was never used, and instead of removing it they knew you’d never see it because of the locked camera angles.
If you are talking about the one head on re2 after you meet the lickers, i believe he has already covered that in a previous video
@@kousis3759 the remake has dynamic camera, and they had fun with that bit of the game :D
@@marhawkman303 oh really? I didn't knew it about the remake. I will look it up
Do you have sources/links for this easter egg? Can't find anything about it
@@MelbourneChazz if you look into the Resident evil licker head it should
Come up. I’m fairly sure odd has covered it before.
I love how oddheader breaks video game consoles just for a 10 second clip
Yeah
Hopefully they are dead consoles lol
@@SadCoffeeBear the ps2 was like the best selling console of all time, there's millions of them. i don't think it's that bad if he smashes a slim for a sketch
I grew up with a ps2 slim. That thing overheated all the time -.-
I'd be very surprised if Odd's not already planning on smashing up the new Xbox or PlayStation in a few years time 😆
Looking back on that Outer Wilds mystery, it's definitely referring to the Echoes of the Eye DLC. Crazy how Mobius already had plans for it from the beginning.
That Japanese game might need a whole video dedicated to it. Maybe not by Odd, but I hope someone who may speak Japanese will dive deeper into it.
So the KanyeQuest pastebin poster was actually a friend of mine. We were all part of an ARG group that originally got together over Jadusable's Haunted Majora's Mask ARG. He did discover all this genuinely, it was a crazy time. He considers it his claim to fame. Kotaku accused him of just being the creator of the game who got mad that nobody had found his secret so that's funny.
Oh ok Nice ya told us
Right...
Sure
your such a fucking liar lmao😂
Yeah, sure pal
That Japanese game one actually terrified me, there’s just something about it that deeply disturbs me
there is a thing that old japanese indie games have that they are highly disturbing for me, they feel like things put there at random but in a spooky way
I don't think it's was a disgruntled employee or even a fictional disgruntled one. The translation seems to tell the story of a debug tester getting cursed by the game, then erased from history entirely, he ominously warns the player of impending doom and maybe there is hope for you if you haven't heard "the voice" yet, followed immediately by what can interpreted as high pitched screaming. It just seems like standard spooky shit that'd be in a game like this.
My firsy guess is a spooky story involving Japanese ghost story themes and motifs. Possibly a disgruntled employee with neurosis, but the likelihood he was able to code that much into the game after he was supposedly fired? Possible, but not probable.
I just laughed because mid-way I thought of "HEY SHITASS"
there's something wrong with me
@@zachstack3133 Likely not even possible. Because to be fired under conditions that they wouldn't even put your name on the project either means they fired you so early you'd never have been able to insert something like that or that they fired you so suddenly because of some other issue that you wouldn't have had access or time to put in your little extra piece and adequately hide it. So it's either completely intentional... Or it's completely fake. Since the only proof we have is some supposed old video of it from a completely different language. The second is more likely considering such fake editions have been done in other languages (particularly some form of spanish) quite a few times before and then entered english speaking circles as either a secret or some kind of misrepresented creepy thing completely seperated from the truth. (Anybody Remember MOMO for example?)
In the third option of the Japanese game, I noticed a bit of text referencing "Gegege no Kitaro" which was a classic series about a boy who deals with Yokai (which are like Japanese trickster spirits)
It is very strange to consider the developer's message separately from the context. It all started with the Chunsoft conspiracy in the first part. In the second part, the idea of a conspiracy was continued with a message in a cave. Also, this secret message affects the unlocking of the four "buggy" messages that you talked about.
I recently discovered a lot of unused content in the game and there are images to visualisation the developer's story. These images look very unusual and strange. It is possible that there are still undisclosed secrets in the game. And judging by the large number of unused death scenes, about five endings were not implemented in the game.
The second one is a reference to the Flatwoods Monster. A famous cryptid/alien sighting in West Virginia.
I watched a vid about it yesterday lol
I knew it looked familiar.
2:30 is the flatwoods monster, A very famous Cryptid from west Virginia
the Kanye quest one feels like a failed ARG more than an actual recruitment tool.
I was about to comment that about the Flatwoods Monster. It's generally considered to have been an owl, but the story is very spooky and full of coincidences. That's a really cool reference lol
@Quartz Roolz glad you saw it
yep was about to say the same thing
the plushman spider looks like a rejected earthbound encounter.
1:22 The Giant Enemy Spider! *starts beatboxing*
I feel for the Komaitachi one. Being diagnosed with an illness, especially one that a doctor can’t help you with or with no known cure really does feel like a curse. I can see this person being diagnosed with severe neuropathy and just having a mental break after being told the only real option was to just live with it. It really seems that way, especially with references to seeing things and maybe hearing a loud buzzing, like you do during some of the scenes. Those are things that can happen to people under a large amount of mental distress. And to suffer with it to the point that it affected their work enough for their identity to be scrubbed from the game’s credits, even when they were clearly a good developer or coder - perhaps even someone that had a large enough work load to trigger this level of anxiety. Seems to me like this person was just trying to find some sort of relief by hiding their feelings within the game like this - like screaming into the void or something. I truly hope they’re doing better now, whoever they are. Seems to me like they were someone that had a lot of empathy (talking about being unnerved by the deaths of characters in the game and clearly having a vivid memory of dissecting a frog, probably from back when they were just a kid).
Pour one out for unnamed Komaitachi developer, folks.
It's kamaitachi, it's a mythological creature, and it's just the devs being purposely scary
@FstSergeant8595 That depends.
I truly hope you guys are right. I’d hate to think of anyone being in that kind of pain. You really have to put a lot of yourself forward when you’re crafting a video game - I just don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility that after immersing ones’ self into developing something like this game, on top of having something personally traumatic happen, for someone to want to get their troubled thoughts down in the form of a truly bananas fourth wall break.
Bless you for being the one person so far (that I've seen) that gives a single shit about a person who, quite possibly, was suffering from a mental illness or malady of some type. I can relate, too.
@@savannahjackson7347 The first Kamaitachi no Yoru also had a similar easter egg with hidden messages from a supposed developer of the game. It's definitely just for spook factor.
The only weird thing about the kanye game is that it actually exists.
Not as weird as the fact there was a flash game about Bill Cosby that predicted he was a racist well before the news broke.
@@hdofu Rumors of him being a rapist were around LONG before it all went public tbh
It really just looks like a less interesting version of Shut Up and Jam Gaiden.
Nexpo did a video on it and the cultish vibe it gives off. Goes way deeper into it than Oddheader could've in his usual video length.
@@DougJK he make great water 👍
It doesn't matter how often you reference "ODD HEAD" in your videos, it always surprises me.
2:37 that is the cryptid known as the "Flatwoods Monster."
It was originally spotted by six kids in 1952 and has gotten some popularity in the cryptid community due to a unique look.
Always cool to see cryptids appear in video games 👍
The disgruntled employee one legit scared the shit out of me
Me too
15:20 was that ASCII? I tried translating it and the results were:
I gave a cry of astonishment. I saw and thought nothing of the other four Martian monsters; my attention was riveted upon the nearer incident. Simultaneously two other shells burst in the air near the body as the hood twisted round in time to receive, but not in time to dodge, the fourth shell.
GENIUS!!!!!
how? theres not even enough characters
That looks like it's from The War of the Worlds
@@Blakbox92 it is
Isn’t the Outer Wilds stuff related to the Echoes of the Wild DLC? Invisible planet being the anomaly you see from the coordinates by the satellite. The haunted items (particularly the candle) being the new creatures and mechanics of the DLC. The head snap might be when you get taken out of the dream world by having your candles blown out by the creatures. Super awesome DLC if you haven’t played it. Seems to me that folks found the potential DLC way before the DLC dropped
yes, I believe the devs might've originally intended for the dlc to be contained within the main game, but either couldn't finish it in time and/or decided it deserved special attention compared to just being another part of everything else in the base game, it's really cool to see that little pieces of it were there all along though!
Pretty late, but (DLC SPOILERS)
They still have the neck snap in the game for when there’s no candle for the owelk to blow out
(EVEN MORE SPOILERS)
When you drop the artifact they snap your neck instead to get you out of the simulation and you get an achievement
6:08 you can see the old doorway here, they simply appended the wall geometry over the doorway and didn't delete the hanging man behind the wall, it appears. The game isn't built to handle the forced resolution in the hack, so the camera breaks and starts to clip the object behind the wall, with the wall. This kind of junk happens all the time when my camera breaks in Maya.
The millas children is one of the finished levels when psychonaughts was originally going to be a much darker game
That second one on the golf course is the flatwoods monster!
Yuup
Jup
you beat me and I live there😂
yep, it's huge in japanese folklore and was also the basis for the aliens that invade the ranch in majora's mask. (It's legit just an owl that someone saw in the dark though)
4:12 the invisible planet I imagine ended up being the echoes of the eye doc cause you can get your neck snapped by the bird people there
9:30 The vomiting blood part could possibly be referring to one of the first lines of the Japanese poem "Tomino's Hell", and it seems to be somewhat related to it as well. That's just a guess, though.
Has “Milla’s Children” never been on this channel before?
It’s not really hidden it’s one of the only collectibles in the game
It has
@@icecreamsandwitch3008 that makes this entry EXTRA bizarre
It has been shown on this channel.

Gracias por avisarme :D
That Ghost code in Outer Wilds is so fascinating now that it's clear that it's referring to the Echoes of The Eye DLC. I guess there was some code for that expansion in the game before its release
5:24 OH NO! dababy-s ! i can hear them, they are screaming! what is this dababy apocalipse? xddd
You just made an extremely dark scene be almost humorous *almost*
I always hope when people do the "Destroy my tech" bit that the thing they destroyed was at least ancient and stopped working.
Ngl same
it’s also a dumb bit. unfortunately i am also a scott the woz subscriber
Fun fact: after going down a youtube rabbit hole, I found out that that is also a fetish!
@@kevinm5940 Why? Why is this a fetish?
@@kevinm5940 What?
What?
In Mia's mind in Psychonauts those aren't ghosts, those are nightmares.
I was thinking this. Oddheader unfortunately missed the point of the easter egg in that it's a representation of Milla's guilt and trauma, hence why it's so distressing and locked away.
The Japanese was kinda terrifying
@Lemon Grab bruh
@Lemon Grab are you okay??
@Lemon Grab lol, thanks brother . hope you’re doing well. inuyasha is definitely a certified classic
@@shen1176 what’d he say? the comment was deleted bro
With Outer Wilds having a DLC announcement recently, I'm beginning to wonder if the "invisible planet" is referring to whatever is coming up in the DLC
Guy from the future here:
Can confirm, is DLC content.
@@mr.anonymous9556 Called it!
10:58 Weird fun fact, at the bottom of the screen you can see repeated the phrase 'Gegege no Kitaro', which is the colloquial name of a 1960s manga called 'Kitaro of the Graveyard'.
'Kitaro of the Graveyard' followed the misadventures of a half-human, half-demon boy named Kitaro and his involvements with both Japanese people and their many yokai. "Gegege" is a Japanese onomatopoeia for when something is creepy, eerie, or otherwise unnerving. What a weirdly specific thing to see tucked away in a game like this.
I've been waaaaaiting for the next VID let's gooo!
IVE BEEN WAAAAAIITING FOR A GAME LIKE YOU
TO COME IN TO MYY LIIFE
I watched you're latest vid ;)
Same bro.
same i love oddheader he is such a cool guy, he brings mystery to the gaming world
@@reaperraffy5710 YESS! I love classic games, old games. I love things with (Glitches) and DARK PASTS! I enjoy these type of videos!
I find them fascinating and they keep me hooked
I saw the Outer Wilds segment and nearly fell out of my chair it's literally describing the new DLC content lmao
All things considered the Echoes of the Eye DLC is no less dark and creepy than this video makes the hidden code out to be haha
Kamaitachi secret is very disturbing, i've never seen a secret like that for a long time.
my what is it?
Pretty sure "ManSpider" is just a joke about reversing the order of "SpiderMan", and it was in the plush folder since it's such a contrast from the cute models.
Also, the creature in the golf game looks like illustrated renditions of the Flatwoods monsters, a popular alien sigting event. That's probably just a fun easter egg by the developers, as the aliens were reported to be seen in the middle of a forest.
It could have also just been a place holder for a scrapped spider plush that never got passed the the conceptual stage.
Or maybe even a Sunny reference lol
There's absolutely no doubt that's the Flatwoods Monster.
Yeah its definetely just a Flatwoods Monster reference
Mystery solved. I love you.
The last game was made in RPG Maker VX Ace, the theory that it can "track players" is completely false. RPG Maker VX Ace is extremely simple to use, and if there was a networking script, it would require credit to the script authors.
It supports custom Ruby scripting, so it's perfectly capable of networking without _that_ much effort. Also, there's no betting scripts weren't used without credit anyways.
@@SgtLion Yeah but its really easy to just find out if they did add credit to script authors, you'd just open it up in VX Ace and open the script editor - see if they had any scripts or whatever
Nevermind, I get what you're saying now
Mmm I see *nods in confusion*
Kamaitachi no Yoru 2 is very very meta (the whole premise is that the real life writer who wrote the original game invites the characters to a deserted island), so the secret you mention is almost certainly an intentional addition by the developers to add an extra level of meta stuff.
Plus, its a tradition for games in the series (Sound Novel) to have extra unlocks for when you get all the other endings.
love this dude. best time to watch is when you’ve been awake for too long, seeing someone else with big bags under their eyes just like yourself is comforting.
2:03 That thing looks and is obviously inspired by “The Flatwoods Monster” which is a West Virginia cryptid. Just look you images for it and you’ll see the undeniable resemblance.
I agree, i knew what it was right when i saw it but couldn't remember the name
Yeah that’s what I was thinking too
I never knew That was a monster
Well the robot you talked about it’s actually a West Virginian ufo story about a alien with a oval head and a metal maid dress with claws they call it the flat woods monster because it has been found in the town of flat woods so it’s an Easter egg 🥚
It was said to stand 15 feet tall and emitted a horrible smell. It was also seen by multiple witnesses.
Yeah. I was hoping I wasn't the only one to notice that.
basking shark
3:41 YOOOOOO THAT MUST BE IN THE NEW DLC COMING OUT
I'm just expecting to get jumpscared then cry
13:57 I'm impressed you didn't include the ARG theory behind the Acensionism game. I think there are a few videos about it.
'Genre: Rock, *Non music* ' whatever sh!t these producers be smokin... don't want it.
lol
From a comment i read, the cult easter egg was actually to attempt to start up his music career, which ended poorly.
Guess i can see why. Even for alternate music, that still sucked.
Genre: Non-music rock, as in “this sounds comparable to the way rough gravel feels"
Lol, it's just harsh noise. There are much louder, weirder and better stuff out there.
Discogs doesn't just deal with music, but with all audio CDs. the "non-music" tag is meant to be used for things like recordings of comedy routines, people reading books, etc. it doesn't actually apply to the recording in this video. someone must have added it by mistake.
Just in case anyone is wondering about the Outer Wilds "mystery", all of those things such as the "Dream World" and the "Neck Snapping Ghost" were in the DLC called "Echoes of the Eye" that released a few weeks back. The references in the code pretty much confirms that work on that DLC started over a year ago, which is pretty obvious considering it has some of the most technologically impressive features I've seen in a game (If you've found "The Stranger" you know what I'm talking about)

10:44 my stomach suddenly felt hurt then i was so scared then i watched another video now its normal whats this
Probably just gas
seriously? i too had stomach pains while watching this part of the video.
