It's very small atm, only 3 people counting myself, but the game has started to develop a speed running community! Lots of skips and glitches have been found already and the run is honestly very fun and not overly long. The glitches are all fairly easy to pull off too so it's not a complicated run to get into either!
going into a 5 hour video i expected to quit 1-2 hours in, thinking it would get lame after some time, but this game really is amazing. The humor and story really are something special. Would also love to see the bonus floors if you intend to do them
I'm so sad this video is over - how could I NEVER have heard of this game before?? It's a literal masterpiece, and I'm absolutely in love with this game: I agree, some of the levels probably weren't necessary but you're right, when this game hit it HIT - the humor was hilarious and Ik was such a good character and was written so well, and the adorable Shrimp with the contrast of sicko mode Shrimp, the pitter patter footsteps and the ripping doors off their hinges, I LOVE this game- and am so excited to see you play more of this developer because you make game experiences the best in my opinion!
something weirdly beautiful about the way he picks up the iconic dustpan loot object from the hit game lethal company and has no idea, because it doesnt exist yet, and so he just discards it without a thought
I hope you know The dust Pan Is not from lethal Company it was Originally From another game by Zeekers Which is the Developer of The Upturned And others
I really love the voice acting Insym gave to the Mr. Ik :D This game was really funny with interesting dialogues, story and characters, and it even has some touchy moments (never figured out the ending though). Also, the Shrimp 👀🍤
I've heard a theory somewhere that all the nonsense that happened with the human race and the way that the final humans died points to god himself (or somebody along these lines) clearing out humanity so he can restart the universe (as likely happens in the end)
I don't know how people didn't make it to the full 5 hours but what a watch! it was worth giving it a watch because the game is amazing! Ikabod and Shrimp are the most amazing characters in the game and the story was pretty good and the whole time as you go through the game you question: Why is there so many floors? to wait I'm dead? how did I die?. love the little parts of the aquarium, the art gallery and especially how we meet Shrimp the precious doggo? I do question if he is a dog but oh well! Great game and I'm glad you gave it a go or I would of never heard of this game and the amazing effort put into it! Bravo!
We need a part 2 with a good ending. I'm talking about a second game. A glorious game where you, Shrimp, and Mr. Ikabod adventure to try and take back the hotel or something. I need this to happen with every inch of my being. I loved every aspect of the game from the style with it being more of a pixelated game, the characters, and the adorable Shrimp. I would really like to see a second game featuring these characters and even maybe some of those souls in the hotel work together to be free and at peace while Mr. Sob creates more monsters and sends them into the forest to try and stop you. Something like that. They left enough room for a cliff-hanger to be a second game. Cant wait to see Insym play more from this creator in the Future.
Or it could be a DLC called "the upturn against sob" or something like that since you, ikabod and shrimp are turning against sob to take back the hotel. The DLC could add like 4 more chapters up to chapter 8 where theres a final boss fight against sob. Would be nice since it would show sobs full model and we get a sick fight too. The end could have ikabod becoming the TRUE manager of the hotel and the player becoming the assistant manager while shrimp becomes the hotel dog that welcomes new guests to the upturned inn
Watched the whole thing and enjoyed all of it This developer is on a whole new level when it comes to making games like this, absolutely unique, wacky, intense and a whole lot of fun Your commentary was really the perfect icing on top, I’ve lost count on how many times I’ve bursted out laughing while watching this grand adventure Thank you for sharing the wonderfully unique experience
Only and hour and half in so far. I hadn't even heard of this game before this vid but I gotta say it's honestly one of the best indie games I've seen in ages. Exactly my kinda comedy horror; the character designs and overall graphical design are awesome (plus Insym's voice acting for Ik is totally canon for me now, lol), the sound design is AMAZING (all the tippity taps, thuds and and clicks all feel satisfying and responsive), movement and interactions are fluid and the right kind of chaotic, and the level design is top notch. A lot of games that try this multiple levels/many small rooms kind of gameplay just get so repetitive imo, but this game keeps it fresh with the ongoing narration and story, plus the levels keep changing. That mannequin level with all the perspective and visual tricks? Amazing. Love it. Thanks for introducing this game to my eyeballs, Insym. I've added it to my steam wishlist and will still finish watching this video just to hear the sweet Germanic tones of Ik :P
I made it all the way to the end. I wish I had noticed this game when it first came out. This was a gem. It was so funny. Also I miss German Ik. I knew you wouldn't manage to keep up the German through the whole video but I was a bit sad not to hear how Ik died in his German voice. It's hard for me to think of this game as a horror game honestly. I know that's kinda it's genre but it seemed much more like a platformer and puzzle game that just happened to have a purgatory feel, which comes off as horror most of the time. Overall I'm so glad I made it to the end of the video even though German Ik disappeared. I would strongly encourage more German though because your accent was hilarious. Ik will forever be German in my heart.
Why did it have to end... This was so good, the characters and writing, the music, the levels, the little jokes; Ik was such a sweet potato and Mr. In Sym had some charisma to him
52:30 i think we all know what happens here edit: holy shit he actually survived. first person ive seen that actually managed that also the sound lawrence makes when you knock him out sounds like when you bonk a 3/4 full metal pot against the edge of a countertop while making the water slosh around inside
This hotel reminds me of a Koream Series called Hotel Del Luna. The hotel opens up at night and can only be seen those who are dead. The hotel is basically a rest stop before souls go to afterlife or hell. That hotel too had many weird things and many weird souls or guests.
i sadly missed the stream but when i saw that the video was. 5 hours long, i was thinking of not making it because of school or forgetting about it but i watched everything at once and it was so fun! i think the devs did a good job making this game! its funny and scary at the same time :)
Noooooooooooo! The ending left off the cliff hanger and the story was so wonderful! I love Ik and he was such a great guy and also a great friend! I love Shrimp!! Such a good dog and also hungry for anything. Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!! This is whole wonderful game was so good!!!! Awww man… I wish this story never end but ended off at a high point. Hand claps to this game! 👏👏👏
It wasnt a cliffhanger, its left for interpretation, the horse rider's model is named "Angel" in the file, so i believe all of them were redeemed, and brought from the limbo, back to heaven, where they got to finally live their dreams.
It took me a while to realise this was uploaded way before Lethal company came out, since i yhought he hadn't played the game yet since even when i searched for it i couldn't find it but now it explains why he never mentioned anything about lethal company
Definitely saving this video for a rainy day cause I was killing myself laughing at the chaos! You're laughter and shenanigans throughout, made an amazing game even more spectacular 😂❤️
Wow. This game was absolutely incredible and probably my favorite indie horror so far. The humor in it was amazing and I loved everything Ik said 😂 what a unique storyline
I like how the guys name was Ikabod and his death had to do with a headless trucker. Clearly supposed to be referencing Ikabod Crane and the headless horseman.
WOWW! I came here just when you had 17000 subscribers! But then I stopped playing phas, but started again. CRAZYY how far you've came! Almost 500K!!!! WELL DONE INSYM!
I'm about 2 hours in the video, and here's my quick theory on what happened. So, usually there is a long line at the front desk, right? Because of how many people die per day, of course there is going to be a line for Ik to deal with. However, they said that recently there was no line. The last thing the protagonist remembers is doing stuff like reading an old newspaper, listening to a HAM radio, and checking the air filter, which to me sounds like stuff you would do in a secure bunker of sorts. Now, why would the protagonist be in a bunker, and why is there seemingly no more people are dying on Earth? My guess, some sort of disaster happened. Whether it's nuclear warfare, or Yellowstone finally exploded, I don't know. But in short, the only people alive are the ones who made it to a bunker (Like the protagonist) but even then you aren't 100% safe. You could die at any point, and not know if it was starvation, illness, a cave-in, or anything of the sort. So, in short, I think I already know what happened to the real world, and it isn't good.
On a brighter note, the game is goofy horror, probably the best kind of horror. Details such as the protagonist's animations being extremely fast, missing the lock a few times when opening a door, being put in a worse situation if you choose the wrong dialogue option with Ik, and so on.
i just imagined that when shrimp eats larger objects like chairs or tables, they get stuck in his throat in a comically funny way with the shape of the eaten object appearing in his throat
I really like how Lethal company is the breed between Upturned and It steals In It steals the focus is Horror horror In Upturned is Comedy Horror In Lethal company, it can be both depending on the situation
Devs... Or anyone .. please, I need that song to listen to. You know what song I'm talking about. The constantly repeating one that insym bobs his head to. It's been stuck in my head and I wanna listen to it without anything other sounds 😂 so fricken catchy.
Wait a sec, It Steals is ALSO from the same guy as Lethal Company??? This guy is incredible with horror games! (Found this in my sidebar after already knowing it's from the Lethal Company dev.)
I think game developers should work with let's players who narrate to create narrated versions of games. Like if there's 3 characters, they can take 3 creators audio and give each character a creators voice. I think that would also sell more games because a lot of people watch these for the narration
the fact that every time character uses a key he misses the lock 2 times is golden, I cherish this game
"Shows a lot of promise as a developer"
Thats an understatement
I mean... its good, but no dink smallwood or aTTa
@@khajiithadwares2263 I don't know who either of them are?
I absolutely adore how many assets are re-used in Lethal Company from here. It's quite beautiful.
Yeeeeeah, i just noticed the toy robot
idk if this asset is used in lethal company but the running sound the character makes sounds a lot like that of the coil head.
There’s even a reference to upturned in Lethal company, the pijama plushie is that big guy
And the fire exit
Dont forget that he also used stuff from his other games, like the Radar Booster, thats from It Steals.
This game was absolutely hilarious and the mechanics were very tight for the type of game it is. I’d love to see this game get a speed run community

What a contrast between this and It Steals, honestly shows how good this dev can be due to their versatility.

Me: lol ok sure (checks video length) oh. He wasn't joking.
This playthrough is crazy entertaining. The throw feature is what makes this game so much better.

Mr. In sym since you are having a blast in lethal company please consider giving The upturned another go! this is BY FAR my favorite video of yours
Watched the whole thing and enjoyed all of it
This developer is on a whole new level when it comes to making games like this, absolutely unique, wacky, intense and a whole lot of fun
Your commentary was really the perfect icing on top, I’ve lost count on how many times I’ve bursted out laughing while watching this grand adventure
Thank you for sharing the wonderfully unique experience
Crazy how the same developer made Upturned, It steals and Lethal company, bro was the secret of how to make good horror games
I like that the lobby persons name is Ik and, Insyms name is In. And they both are typos of the original name, that is longer
Only and hour and half in so far. I hadn't even heard of this game before this vid but I gotta say it's honestly one of the best indie games I've seen in ages.

I don't remember when I was that much entertained by a letsplay video. This game really is something else
I love your voice impression for Ik, that's exactly how he sounds in my head
Just saw the toy robot after having seen you lay Lethal Company. Nice.

I never really was a fan for long type videos, but there's something about this one that's just so much fun!
52:30 i think we all know what happens here
edit: holy shit he actually survived. first person ive seen that actually managed that
also the sound lawrence makes when you knock him out sounds like when you bonk a 3/4 full metal pot against the edge of a countertop while making the water slosh around inside
You are the only UA-camr that can get me to watch a full 5 hour video over a couple of days with the little extra time I have. Loved this game!
This game was fantastic to watch you play, I loved every minute of it.
This hotel reminds me of a Koream Series called Hotel Del Luna. The hotel opens up at night and can only be seen those who are dead. The hotel is basically a rest stop before souls go to afterlife or hell. That hotel too had many weird things and many weird souls or guests.
5 hours well spent! It’s been a while since I’ve had to set time aside every day just to finish a long video
i second this

how is this game so well made and funny like the whole time for 5h straight
Happy Birthday Mr.Insymfriend :>
I wish there's more horror games where you defeat the monster by going "Random B*llsh*t GO!!" 🤣🤣
I didn't expect to watch a 5-hour video, but this game was fresh and actually spooky.
it's a 9/10 to me.
A fantastic game. Well written and so chaotic with great humour. I loved it!☺
3:13:05 Angry german kid moment 😂😂😂😂😂
Cmon Insym platforming! ❤ ahhhh
Insym is now my official canon voice for Mr.Ik
I think this is the most chaotic game i've ever seen! AND I LOVE IT
That was an amazing video to watch I had a blast, thank you
im not a dog person but i would feed myself to shrimp if he had no food. the goodest boy needs his sustenance
Game: tells insym how to 'attack'
Insym: *proceeds to yeet everything at it* 20:59
the chat turning against insym for hurting the dog- xDD poor dooggoooo DXXXXX
Dudeee this was crazy, honestly i was sad when i realized we wouldnt see Ik again, and that Shrimp was free at last..
The art looks amazing
Ого, русский в этом видео, неожиданно и приятно
I call the tiny footstep sounds as "the rhythm of Mr. In Sym"
Who came here after LETHAL COMPANY?
I remembered watching this during live, super hilarious
2:23:30 little did he know
SPOILER
Whoa......Ik was 15 when he died, no wonder why he is so silly sometimes he was just a kid when he got crushed
That must be the saddest end
Imagine beeing the last human alive, its all in your hands now...
And you trip and hit your head, and just die from that
I made it to the very end and i am now in love with this game
This game is absolute chaos and I love it… laughing so hard watching this shit
So good! I loved every second of this game! I would love too see more like it!

Shrimp managed to be the cutest and most horrifying creature in the entire game.
i just imagined that when shrimp eats larger objects like chairs or tables, they get stuck in his throat in a comically funny way with the shape of the eaten object appearing in his throat
I really like how Lethal company is the breed between Upturned and It steals
In It steals the focus is Horror horror
In Upturned is Comedy Horror
In Lethal company, it can be both depending on the situation
Devs... Or anyone .. please, I need that song to listen to. You know what song I'm talking about. The constantly repeating one that insym bobs his head to. It's been stuck in my head and I wanna listen to it without anything other sounds 😂 so fricken catchy.
This is my favorite video of all times, I just can't xD xD So funny
I just watched this entire game, and I don't think I have seen a funnier horrer game. I would love to see more games by this dev!
I love that Insym gave the guy a German accent🤣
Such a fun and original game. Imagine a semi-open world game, like Bioshock or Prey, made in this style! It would be peak gaming.
My favorite part of the game is your german accent so good
Wait a sec, It Steals is ALSO from the same guy as Lethal Company??? This guy is incredible with horror games!
(Found this in my sidebar after already knowing it's from the Lethal Company dev.)
36:27 and onwards omg. I can't. My stomach hurtssss hahahahaha
Chat saying hi yt warms my heart
1:35:27 "NO NOT THAT. NOT THE THINKER!!!"
Wait if he is always pulling out doors from its frames... did he always do that when he was alive too?
Good question
Made it till the very end: Loved this game. Havent seen anything like it at all.
I haven't been laughing so much since I don't remember even when
The man went on a knocking spree with the DAMN CROWS DAMN
This game was fantastic- very sensory heavy though, I have a god awful headache 😂 worth it
This was so fun to watch! Sad it’s over
i just cant stop laughing at this part 0:55 its just the start but already chaotic
I got this game when it came out and I loved it
Just some words of wisdom*Elevator Scene* The number 13 .
Great concept about a comedy-based horrorgame. It was so funny!
The accent he gave Ik just makes me picture a german scientist that has gone crazy for the science lmao
this awesome horror game by awesome developer is awesome! and crazu
I think game developers should work with let's players who narrate to create narrated versions of games. Like if there's 3 characters, they can take 3 creators audio and give each character a creators voice.
