He starts off the video saying "I don't know if this is worth a full video" and he's now made an entire movie based off of this video
I don't think it's out yet

ikr
we all came back to this video after the teaser trailer dropped
it reminds me of when you join a fandom and find it completely dead so you gotta be the one to revive it
@@lcbyri I think the quote that best fits this scenario is “If you can’t find it from someone else, do it yourself” (I’m not great at remembering quotes)
@@lcbyri lmaoo, sounds like me reviving the gc I was invited in. I do not recommend it, they just die once your gone.
Years ago I played in a D&D game that involved an underground blood lake. After defeating the eldritch horror within we reopened it as a vacation resort for vampires
Average dnd moment honestly
sounds epic lol
You may have just given me an idea for the next stage in my dnd campaign.
They're bathing in their food? What if someone pees in it
Like swimming in burgers
The Quiet Rapture is a pretty terrifying concept. Imagine you wake up, only to find that most natural celestial objects are gone and you’re pretty much floating in a black void. It’s that quick.
But like, you spend a few hour not realizing because the phantom starlight is still there. Only when you try and contact someone you know on a planet or look where a planet SHOULD be do you discover the truth.
Either that, or you've been yeeted out of known space and are MUCH to far away to ever hope of finding your way back
it gets even more terrifying when you remember that the blood oceans are in fact human blood
So Whatever happened to earth, while not known, seems to have been a bloody massacre that somehow had all human remains located to various moons.
all that blood came from the populous on both earth and mars, and no one knows exactly how it happened, but something sinister has occurred.
I find it unique in concept. I've never heard of it used. Any books? It'd make for quite a harrowing dark (literal) adventure.
I'm not sure you would have time to realize it lol
Choosing Lixian as an editor was probably one of the best career moves Mark has ever made.

I like that this update really makes it explicit that this isn't just called a "blood ocean", it's literally an ocean of human blood. I think we know now where everyone else went! *blender noises*

@@dreamking25 Life, uh, finds a way?
@@dreamking25 I like to think of it as a simulation scenario. Where the universe is a simulation and the developers of the simulation either decide to stir things up or wrap up the simulation by killing all the characters.

@Kavetion bait bot moment
I saw an interesting comment saying that when you take a picture of the giant eye, since that creature has been at such a low depth its whole life, you effectively flashbang it.
I saw that too! Can't remember what video though.
That might also be the reason it kills you, the flashbang could've just pissed it off enough to actually attack instead of just swimming around it.
@@torturedgaming7524 That makes me wonder about what would happen if you don't take a picture where the fish is supposed to appear.
Like, if the game is detailed enough to call out when you're going at it backwards, maybe it's detailed enough for it to recognize something like that?
@@torturedgaming7524 there two different creatures in the blood ocean. The eye is one giant reptilian one that can’t fit inside the submarine and the one with the gaping mouth fish you see once not attack you and then again at the end of the game attacking which can fit inside the submarine.
@@ratchit8122 I think it was the science vid on game theory? Might be wrong tho
I hate that mark missed this- when you go through the really tight, secret hallway that connects the first main area to the second, you can take a picture and itll show a man made hallway, made out of the same materials as the wall that you take a picture of before you go to the hallway. A clip of this can be found on UA-cam
Like walking through the vaulted halls of an ancient temple, flooded with a universes worth of sacrifices…
Jack picked up on it in his play of the game. It was eerie.

@@SmoothTurtle840 Damn
The fact that Mark still actually gets jumpscared by whatever the hell that thing is. Iron Lung will always be terrifying.
pretty sure its a giant angler fish
@@bofa987 fun fact: its called a "frog" in the game files
That shit is not a frog
@@JaydenCarterVT bro that is not a frog
Devs will name files weird for many reasons
If I'm not wrong, the jumpscare at the 'end' of the game is not triggered by going to any specific spot. It's triggered by how many photos you've taken of the important areas. You can explore in any order and you will always die on the way to the last photo.
@DONT READ PROFILE PIC nice try rick roller
@@Nobody-ue5qs mf replied to a bot calling it a "rickroller"
and also iirc it’s triggered by turning around
yes, that was fairly apparent, even not having seen this second playthrough. what was less apparent though pretty obvious thinking about it is that the blood leaking into your sub, the fire are both location based as opposed to progress based, which is interesting.
The jumpscare is trigger when you're facing the last photo and when turn around to take the photo it will jumpscare you.
This just proves that Mark is willing to face even the ocean if there's *LORE* involved
Y’all are heartless, whoever made these bots.
Yep.
@@N0tASpy335 I know and I swear I've reported both of these before
@@abdulkarimsanchezspectra8186 are you kidding me this is the person that took my spotlight on the top 4 comments? Wow what an embarrassment.
he already proved this with subnautica
The horrifying part of SCP 354 is that there are no records of the exploratory mission outside of the logs. The O-5 didn't ok it, the site director didn't ok it. The people the logs say went in have zero memory of going in. They think the SCP itself created the log to scare them away from sending people into it.
corrections: nobody ever even *proposed* an expedition, and the people said to have gone through don't even exist
My theory: the lake goes into different universes and such, similar to The Infinite IKEA. It could be an alternate universe SCP foundation that explore it and found this alternate world.
@@theasexualidiot4803 Another possible theory is that if someone dies within the realm of the blood lake they are wiped from existence but not completely, only leaving a few traces
Jesse what the hell are you talking about
@@esteban938 Yes, but some of them returned, they didn't all die on the other side.
It’s a creepy thought, being deep beneath an ocean of blood, a place that would give off such a bad smell, a place that has so much thickness, it has pretty much 0 transparency to the human eyes, deep beneath in a mechanical tomb surrounded by blood that comes from the same species as you.

Agreed, it was very much appreciated 💝
@@moomoonThank you Rachel then

In case anyones confused, Pyrocynicals video explains it perfectly:
The Blood Moons are actual Blood so they may be made up of the victims of the Quiet Rapture
The Buildings in the ocean could be either an abandoned research outpost or an actual building that was taken during the Rapture
The Giant Fish that kills you and the one on the camera that shows u it’s eye is theorized to be different
The Entire sea floor is 100% rendered and u can actually explore it
Your character is from Eden
wait what
we're from Eden ? interesting, thats why they want us to die
That fish is probably the one that appears in the first objective photo before disappearing in the second.
The fish that shows the Eye its probably a whale seeing the similarities
@@StockGoat whales don't have scales
I think in the game you can hear at one point the two different creature's roaring at each other. 🤔
I just realised that if the ocean is real human blood, then the fact that it's red means there is oxygen and iron, so if that could be extracted then they've just found a literal ocean of resources
Keep it at 69 likes
What bugs me is why dont the humans just pump out all of the bloodand let the fish suffocate

@@EtamirTheDemiDeer cosplay costume, but I'm about to switch over to crocheting a blanket... wbu?
Apparently, according to my friend, based in the scales and the eye, the creature is more of an herbivore than a carnivore. And due to the fact that it lived in the dark its whole life before you effectively flashbanged it, it was basically just:
“Oh, what’s this moving thing? It doesn’t look like something I can ea- OH MOTHER FUCKE-“
Edit : The creature that kills you at the end and the creature’s eye you took a picture of are two different creatures from what I’ve read.
it didnt kill you at first, its not a predator, it was curious of you
Yep, just coming in to give you a kiss
I thought the big monster had the teeth of a carnivore, though... Can't say the same for the skull Mark found in the first video, though, whatever THAT thing was was definitely an herbivore. Which seems odd that it would be found in a blood ocean.
On land, most herbivores are opportunistic carnivores when given the chance, especially in times of low nutritional value in leaves and plants. There are videos of deer chewing up snakes that have more context.
@@scottwpilgrim
I know, I saw someone’s rib in a baby deer’s mouth lol.

I'm surprised there aren't more sunken subs littering the ocean floor in the open areas. Unless that alien fish prefers to corner its prey in tight corners, which is rather unsettling.
the coi only *has* 4 subs, 3 now that the sm8 is wrecked
Well 2 after this game, RIP SM13
Interesting headcannon, but apparently that Angler Fish or whatever it be, kills you on your way to take the last important picture. So essentially it is programmed to kill the player when they only have one important picture left to take. So it could literally kill you in the important picture in the middle of the ocean, the same one it can appear in. So maybe it just doesn't like pictures being taken, especially its picture. XD
Perhaps the other subs sunk on the other moons.
@@fivestarguy100 I haven't watched this video yet, but I'd like to put my two cents in-
This is deep waters where lights are not common-
It is dark, and this fish clearly have adapted to it.
So a giant flash of light, done whenever a picture is taken, must be like being hit in the face by a flashbang for some.
I really like the "ghost light of dead stars" thing. Like the stars aren't there. But they're light years away so you won't "see" them disappear until their light stops reaching you years from now. If this happened to us right now, we wouldn't see any star besides our sun disappear for over 4 years.
And what's scarier is that first the Sun would go out ~8 minutes after the rapture (as seen from Earth), then nothing would happen for 4 years, until suddenly Proxima Centauri disappears, then another star, and then another after that, and every few years we'd see stars flicker out of existence and our night sky gradually grow darker and lonlier and colder with no way of ever knowing why they abandoned us.
"Oh good, the blood had arrived!"
I wonder how long Mark had that on preorder
Vampires are also suffering from the supply shortages. 🧛🏻

This comment COULD NOT have aged better.
Waiter! Waiter! More blood please!
Fun fact: The entire ocean is 3D modeled, meaning you can take a picture of a point from multiple angles, getting different pictures of the same object, it isn't just pre-set pictures you'd get at specific points of the ocean, also the monster following you is actually just a PNG of it's eye following your submarine!
I do recall some other youtuber but forgot his name that there is a 3D model of the map, but the way the game works if my memory wasn't being rusty is that they take pictures of the specified 3D modelled area out of bounds to your photographs depending on where your XY coordinates are.

This is like crazy game design. It manages to be immersive while having the bare minimum of gameplay. There are only a few buttons and a map and the game managed to make an entire experience.
And lore.
Another fantastic example of story and atmosphere beating shiny graphics. I want to feel immersed in a game and that happens when the story really grabs me, not when I can see every bead of sweat and hair follicle on the bland protagonists face.

before the update, there was a "Humming Monolith" in the same spot, similar to what Mark found in the very top right of the map this playthrough, but it also made an exclusive sound. additionally, the eye jumpscare would follow you until you use your camera, and the beast that gets you at the end, its file name is "frog"
I wonder if the monolith was moved, since the mystery it provides is so cool. Then again, they could’ve removed it if it was just to be mysterious and doesn’t make sense of the lore that’s been added

Interesting thing. In last vid Mark mentioned something like "all people on earth wouldn't be enough to fill this ocean with blood". After that I got interested and made some calculations. I don't have any data on in-game ocean of blood on this moon, so I used Pacific Ocean on Earth instead. So, to fill Pacific Ocean with blood, if it's drained somehow, you'd need to exsanguinate approximately 1.34*10^18 adult human beings. Its like, 1.34 billions of billions. And it's 168.686.463 times earth population. Then I was bored and calculated how it'd affect our Moon's trajectory relative to earth, since blood is a bit heavier than water, but its not that impressive - moon would get just 0.0009% closer.
Edit: obviously, ocean in-game is, probably, much smaller than Pacific, since it's located on some moon and moons tend to be smaller than planets. It's just that this theme caught my interest. Someone call me if we'll get information on this ocean's volume, and I'll adjust numbers to get proper data applicable for this particular ocean
Edit again: I've been trying to answer your questions and making more calculations under this comment, but there's too many of you, people. You're on your own now. Look for formulas in answers to this comment.
Fascinating, in terms of space though even that small of a percentage does make a rather major difference.
Further they _say_ it's human blood, but from their own records there's not enough humans to fill even a pond, let alone a moon. So what if the blood is the _same_ as human blood, (chemical makeup) that somehow is created on these 4 moons? The earth can create various liquids, so what's to say other places couldn't make something similar to human blood in makeup? And it doesn't congeal so it must not be totally like human blood....
This was cool of you thanks
That is very interesting, thank you.
Nice calculations, but since there are only moons in this universe after the rapture, then the oceans are really, really smaller than Earth's oceans. Also, there were more humans in Mars than on Earth, according to this new lore; so probably way more than 7 billion existed
What makes it worse is when you know it’s actual human blood and then you start thinking about temperature… is it warm like fresh blood right out of the vein? Or is it cold and thick and super viscous?
It shows waves in it, so it's not cold and congealed, it has to be warm.
The computer says, "somehow remains as a liquid" so I assume its cold
You can walk thru it in your sub really easily so I assume it’s still somewhat warm
Implied to be cold, since it’s noted that it somehow maintains liquid form.
@@ZZMonkeysUncleZZ that’s probably more so due to the fact that exposed blood generally coagulates, ignoring temperature the blood should naturally coagulate to a semi-solid too state
The jumpscare is based off of how many pictures you take, so you can actually find all the POIs without dying
What happens if you do find them all?
@@rpsycoYou get ligma
And you could die at the very beginning
Its not picture based. Its pictures OF the Poi based. So you can do them in any order but as soon as that last check is about to be marked you're fucked
The way that the creature looks directly into the camera suggests to me that whatever it is must be highly intelligent and aware of you and what you're doing. I feel like it might be some kind of Lovecraftian cosmic entity that may be responsible for the Quiet Rapture.
It's more likely an animal. Animals observe things they aren't familiar with. Seeing what, by all accounts should be a predator in its midst, not react when getting up close to it, it's probably just sussing you out before attacking
Hell some animals wait till their prey is literally touching them before they strike
I prefer to think that the monster can't see. An ocean of blood, it probably evolved to survive without sight, because it would be virtually visionless in the depths
Even as a human I would have no idea where and what a camera would look like on the iron lung, it is most likely discreet. It was probably game design and also lore wise a coincidence that it looked directly at the camera.
@@paragonjones13i think It was a passive creature, the creature only attacked the ship after the photo was taken, so probably the flash made by the sub to take photo flashbanged the creature making It agressive
22:34 that achievement if for photographing the upper right anomaly. The game ends and the jumpscare plays when you attempt to photograph your 9th node, whatever node that may be (you can never photograph more than 8 anomalies), and the upper right is *usually* last, especially on the first playthrough. Hence, "You've Played this Before" you know about the jumpscare, and wanted to know what the "last" photograph was.
Also, I think that sound is the sound of something breathing...
Could also be the sounds of something being pumped through those tubes, which seem the be functional unlike the other tubes you find further back
I got the "you've played this before" achievement on my first run by pure accident because I missed a photo at the start
@@mrrithexthesilent6385 The other tubes/artifact also makes that sound
I skipped the photograph right outside of the space-warping star's tunnel on accident lol
That's not breathing, that's the tubes pumping something, which is the same sound you hear at the 3rd anomaly at 27:11.
I love how Mark just casually speaks about relatively deep SCP lore like it's a regular Wednesday for everyone watching. Mostly because it is for most of us.
How is that deep SCP lore? I. Relatively certain he didn't start going on about the multiple different SCP universes, anything in the fiction section, or anything else of that level.
@@draconianscout Because Iron lung has literally nothing to do with SCP
@@o5-redacted0 that doesnt make him mentioning the existance of an SCP deep at all

i wouldn’t say anything from series 1 could be considered deep lore
If you know how the game usually goes, seeing Mark just whipping a 180 to take a picture with 0 regard for his life makes this even more tense
I am THRILLED that Mark is creating a movie out of this! The concept is so unique, I’m obsessed! I love a good story with well thought out lore, it gives me chills!

Guys, watch my videos please
Plot for Iron Lung : There are 2 Remaining Factions in The Universe after The Quiet Rapture happened. You are playing as a Captured Member of Eden, The Remains of an Old Martian Colony established before The Rapture. You are forced by The Coalition of Iron (C.O.I) to do research on Moon At-5 or die. The Protagonist chooses this and writes the letter on the floor of the submarine as a way to vent his frustrations and how if he's going to go out, he might aswell go out on his own terms. In The Depths of The Unknown Ocean instead of The Vast Emptiness of Space. The Coalition actually sent a Research Vessel down there before The Player but it crashed and they're now just scrapping everything together to try to make sense of This Blood Ocean Anomaly. It is also confirmed that The Blood seems to be of Human Origin. The Game Assets also suggest that there was some kind of ancient cult like civilization once inside The Blood Ocean. There are remains of buildings/temples, weird monoliths, wormholes, and giant bones. It was a theory that this specific civilization casted a ritual that made it so that every star, habitable planet, and (presumably) everyone on it vanishes from existence. Also a point of note is that NO ONE watched or found out about The Quiet Rapture before many days after it supposedly happened. First, it was Radio Silence before a few ships was sent to investigate to find the remains of an empty void. There's also hidden secret assets in The Game which is either a leak for The Dev's Newest Unrelated Game or a Sequel/Prequel to expand The Universe of Iron Lung (though that is highly unlikely)
You don't think the note was written by a previous prisoner who refused to carry out the mission?
I never understood how people didnt immediately notice every star in the night sky disappearing. That would raise concerns personally
I wonder if the game would at all be connected to David Symanski’s other game “Dusk”, since that game is centered around a cult
@@walterthemighty7549 i don't think so , why it would previous prisoners? If the submarine itself actually just designed for one time use mission? we can also see the lore , submarine was welded while someone is inside there is no door to get in , so the prisoner just welded in the makeshift submarine

same but I'm glad they specified what the chemical compisition was
You're a nerd just like me lol, I also assumed it was just something that Looked like blood to us but wasn't really. Makes me wonder if the same logic can be applied to the meat fountains of Alma from the game OFF...

12:02 I hope the movie is just an hour and a half of this with occasional cuts to Mark freaking out
As a writer, I really appreciate Mark being able to draw comparisons between this and SCP while *emphasizing* that they are distinct and unique stories. Too many people just say, “so it’s just [similar thing].”
anyone who doesnt have double digit iq can realize that correlation does not always mean causation (causation in this case being copying of the story) so its not that impressive tbh its just being not-dumb

@@Itrali thats the thing tho. a surprising amount of people have double digit iqs.
@Can'tthinkofaname most monster collecting games fail in the USA because people often consider them a Pokemon rip off, for example.
I'm an artist and it's so annoying when people compare my bird characters to Pokemon even though they don't look alike. Like I have a bird with a red body and rainbow flight feathers and a rainbow crown of feathers on its head (like it's ACTUALLY rainbow). For some reason people compare it to Ho-Oh even though:
The body is not the same
The legs are not the same
The head shapes are different
The feathers on the head are different
The color of the wings is different
The tails are different
The body feathers are different
The beaks are not the same
The eyes are not the same
The body markings are not even slightly similar
Yet because it's a bird with a red body, it's automatically Ho-Oh. Even though the color red and being a bird are the only things similar (and Ho-Oh isn't even actually rainbow like mine is).
Considering if all stars disappeared right now, we would still see them in the sky for millions upon millions of years, since light would have to travel all that way to our eyes until we can register they’re gone, it’s more likely that everyone not on a planet at the time of the Quiet Rapture were the ones raptured and not the other way round. By what, or for what reason, is the question.
Damn, that’s a twist and a half.
Or maybe the thing that caused the Rapture is sentient and is deliberately snuffing out the stars to torment us
@@StarboyXL9 or collecting planets and stars
you see stars on the title screen for that very reason
Part of the opening exposition says they're under the light of dead stars. I'd assume asteroids wouldn't get raptured and life gets left behind.
It forever kills me that my team was making an alien-world ocean diving game set in an iron lung, then this came out 3 months later. That project is on indefinite hold.

Well, Barotrauma and Subnautica existed before Iron Lung. Your game just needs something to make its own identity.

@@NicoNicoNessieSub That's what I was thinking- these blood oceans are the remains of all the people that vanished. It's so fucking creepy and I love it.

the editing is so nice and welcoming. the "you are here" and the simple highlighting of text when a change of zoom happens so it's easier to follow along between cuts. it's so nice and very appreciated
I love the informality which carries the database entry of the SM-8. “If they send you down in the Iron Lung then they don’t give a fuck if you come back or if the sub comes back because it’s a pile of trash and you’re a piece of shit. But maybe you have a chance.” It’s awesome, makes it feel so much cooler, so much more personal. We always root for the people who don’t carry themselves with formality.
The lore makes this game 10x scarier, as it seems there truly is no hope left.
Even if there is no hope, there may at least be answers… which is why the game is also so interesting
What really fascinates me about this game is just how interesting this world is for just how little we get of it. Even more intriguing is that (from what I've heard), the Creator said that all the lore he has for this universe is present in this game, he hasn't (or hadn't) really thought much beyond that. So for what little we get, there's just so much.
The greatest trick a good fiction author can pull is show you a tiny bit of information and cause you to invent something huge and interesting to you. Sounds like this dude did it by accident.

Markiplier held a submarine named "The unsinkable ll"
Me: God damnit now I wanna see in the Mariana trench with markiplier
Well, we’re getting something close 😂
I feel like people don’t talk about how terrifying the idea of the quiet rapture is, literal dying universe no stars left, light something that’s normally always constant is now a limited resource and will eventually fade completely. And the thought of whole planets and civilizations disappearing with no trace, nothing left in the universe besides a ship running on continuously less and less fuel to call home
well considering there are maybe a few thousand humans remaining in this game's universe, i think the blood moons alone could be enough to power their civilization for upwards of thousands of years.
Well it be possible to survive if set up a blackhole bomb to generate infinite energy
@@digstrememcdingus1463 a black hole bomb is well outside the reach of a few hundred humans to build, if they can't even get a decent low-depth submarine to work. simply orbiting a black hole and harvesting energy from its orbiting matter would be much more achievable.
@@boponthewee7585 Well their are asteroids and moons still around, perhaps Black holes too
Also the fact you also can't tell which stars disappeared alongside the rapture until the light faded finally vanishes from view after who knows how long
"All stars have disappeared"
"You won't be seeing the stars again"
"The stars shine pale as bones"
plausible answer: many stars are far enough away that their light will still shine for countless years, BUT they've determined all stars went by noticing the ones nearby vanish right away
Because the flash seen on the camera is a star but it's only shows as pale as bone. Ha verbiage I see what ya did there.
Because of how far the stars are, some of them could already be gone and we wouldn't know for hundreds or even thousands of years. If the Sun disappeared we would still see it for like 8 minutes because of the speed of light.
It also mentions the ghostlight of stars. This is a reference to the fact that these stars, while having disappeared, since they are thousands of lightyears away, the time it would take for it to have visibly disappeared from the location of say earth, would take thousands of years, which is why the stars still shine, yet they are dead, "ghosts" if you will.
@@mattc9598 or, as other comments have stated, the stars and planets werent raptured; the space stations were

WHY IS HEISENBERG EVERYWHERE I’M GOING INSANE
jesse we need to explore the blood ocean
@@jacksonhillhill3805 Did you take your pills, Jack? I think your schizophrenia has reappeared.
Hello Heisenberg.
What world? HAH!
My theory is that those spaceships (c.o.i and eden) are the ones who disappeared and are now stranded in an empty void with some blood moons around. The Earth and the Mars are probably sitting there, thinking "where did our spaceships go?". That's the most optimistic you can be in that situation.
The worst possible isekai story (at least so far as the characters fates go)
Unlikely and also my least favorite of the theories. A major factor of the horror of the premise is the sheer magnitude of the Rapture, and that the space stations were the ones actually raptured detracts from this.
then how do you explain the blood ocean being human blood?
@@1ncorrect976 What ever took the stations and ships wanted to torment the occupants, an ocean filled with human blood would do that.
@@dustrose8101 It's an interesting theory though
The part that doesn't add up is that the blood oceans apparently consist of human blood, and yet there's clearly some form of life present within them, which implies that the oceans have existed for quite some time.
Well, not only humans live on Earth, and I don't doubt that whatever unknown horrors live at the unexplored reaches of the bottoms of our oceans might potentially be able to live in lake-sized pockets of blood as well as they can in water at thousands of meters down. There's gotta be some correlation between that much pressure and the thickness of blood, right?
Not to mention that other stars were taken out, likely all of them and the only light left to see is from distant stars and galaxies. Seeing that it's also unlikely that humans are alone in the universe it might also have just been something that's been relocated from lightyears away from us. It's not just humans who disappeared.
i mean human blood had a lot of the nutrients any creature needs to survive. oxygen, iron, carbon & nitrogen are the big things that almost every living things needs to survive, and blood has all that and more. while it's... interesting to wonder how a creature could survive in an ocean of blood, it's not completely unfathomable.
it's also possible that the liquid, while it is identical to human blood, is not actually blood from human beings, and is just a mixture of the same elements and basic organic structures that blood has. it's likely that the creature has just evolved over time to breathe & live in the blood.
it's also probable that humanity literally just... didn't notice the blood moons until they were the only celestial bodies left. i mean think about it, humans always prioritize looking for habitable planets, something that a blood moon definitely isn't. it would be easy to gloss over, especially when the thing doing the exploring is actually just a space drone and not an actual ship full of people who experience curiosity and the desire to know more.
I love that the ship Mark rides is called the Unsinkable 2, referencing the space station from In Space With Markiplier.
There is a mod that opens the window so you can continuously see what is going on outside. It's really interesting what you find in the depths!
I saw someone look at the outside and it’s just nothing. The actual map is somewhere else
@@DeathnoteBB Correct, the submarine you stand in doesn't move. You control a camera that moves about and the mod has the camera view constantly shown to your window.
@@DeathnoteBB it is there, but it's hidden for whatever reason EphiTv goes into it. Though as RedSteel said the sub doesn't actually move around the map, but the map if right there next to it.

@@sijenkai3928 great comeback
I just thought about it and what about the possibility that the Quiet Rapture wasn’t the disappearance of planets and stars. They’re all normal and present, however all of the *spacecraft and space stations* were the ones who disappeared into some alternate reality due to a space anomaly.
What’s more plausible, every habitable planet and star in the universe magically disappearing with nothing left behind to even hint at an energy source capable of doing so? Or all spacecraft and orbital stations vanishing due to an unforeseeable anomalous event
That makes more sense for or what if all the space stations got teleporting because of a black hole or something I don't know I'm just rambling on
This is rather unnerving. Given this concept, and considering the oceans are confirmed to be of human blood, it's almost like whatever brought the survivors to this realm has been doing so for a long time, and with the singular purpose of reducing us to blood.
Whether the POV we're seeing is from those taken or from those left behind is, ultimately, a matter of perspective until evidence solidly proves otherwise.
This game scared me shitless and i fr could not sleep for a whole ass week. Even after a month of having watched a playthrough of it, it still unnerves me onto a personal level. Whoever made the game is a fucking horror genius and i fear them.
that kinda reminds me of Observation, the characters are stranded in their space station trying to establish communication with Earth only to find out something unexplainable transported their space station to the orbit of Jupiter, amazing concept!
I love the mention of the "ghostlight," from the dead stars. It takes YEARS for the light from stars to get to us here on earth, save for the sun (which takes 8ish minutes) bare minimum, it takes 4 years from the next closest. So even with the stars vanished, the light would still be traveling for some time. So as the decades went on, the light would be slowly and gradually disappear as the last flashes of light from each star made its way to the furthest people. Almost more poetically grim than just sudden darkness.
for some reason when mark said “that’s a skellington” (25:04) I immediately imagined like a James Bond situation. Like-
“That’s right, the names Skellington. Jack Skellington.” Or something ._.

I think mark could literally do videos where he talks about the lore of any game and it would be good and entertaining to watch
Really looking forward to Mark's movie adaptation! I'm wondering if it was after replaying this with the update is when he thought of developing the movie. Did the conversation start after this or the first video with the developer?
Iron lung is so terrifying without using any jumpscares. Such a nice change of pace
Iron lung used some jumpscares
@@GeneralDino yeah but very differently from other games imo.
I wouldn't called it scary just eerie and silent, senses of dread , there's nothing scary, but I guess it's subjective

There's technically only one jumpscare at the end but the build up throughout the entire game makes that final scare worth it. Jumpscares are only hated because they often aren't used correctly, and this game uses them correctly.
