I like the idea of chunsoft begrudgingly letting this guy out of the company torture basement because they need him to port a game
the image of a poor tortured japanese man, skinny, full of scars, long hair and a full beard, sobbing while writing code for a visual novel is darkly funny to me.
@@nisnast
As I understand, based on what coders who I have spoken to have told me, this is just what the average day is like for them.
@@nisnast It's funny because I like to think of it the other way around - like Chunsoft knows it's better for everyone concerned if this weirdo madman is left in the torture basement. "Have you seen the kind of shit this guy makes? If it weren't for the fact that people buy this stuff, it'd be very difficult to justify this guy's existence to a team of lawyers."
fucked up in the crib (company torture dungeon)
@@nisnast This...this is just *NORMAL* coding, western or not. What are you talking about?
There's something morbidly funny about the phrase "company torture room".
Kafkaesque
something something activision-blizzard
“You were late again. Man youre a good worker and i really hate to do this but i need you to get in the iron maiden.”
I thought literally the same
Pretty difficult to type out some code while there's bamboo under the fingernails that haven't been ripped out yet.
chunsoft's crew is full of trolls who love to do creepy meta stuff like this so its not too surprising lol, its cool they started doing it back in the 2000s!
It's funny to realize the influence this had on Danganronpa was obvious to Japanese fans this whole time. Oh, Chunsoft seeks world domination and kills sapient fictional characters to make popular entertainment? Huh, where have I heard that before? The second murder mystery in the series is a meta recreation of the original? Wow, that's unique.
Even before! The first game is from 94!
chunsoft burner account detected
@@PosthumanHeresy well, danganronpa is more so Spike and not Chunsoft, but even before the merge I wouldn't be surprised if the creative heads behind all of these games were already well acquainted so it doesn't really matter
@@zepic3895 Yeah, but all the Chunsoft Lore elements were introduced well after the merger. The first game doesn't have any of the elements, and that's the only one from Spike. The first time we start seeing KNY elements is specifically in Danganronpa 2, with the meta-recreation plot, as each trial mirrors a trial in the first game. Then in UDG we see the return of the Blue Silhouettes, now used for men exclusively with another color for women. DR3 introduces the brainwashing videos in 2016 (irl, Side Despair is 2009-2011, Side Future is likely 2015). And finally, 2017's V3 is just all in.
But they absolutely did have close ties ahead of time. Specifically for this conversation, Zero Escape (Chunsoft property originally) director Kotaro Uchikoshi and Danganronpa creator Kazutaka Kodaka being good friends. Sayaka is literally a parody of the deuteragonist of Zero Escape, Akane. Makoto's hoodie also has Zero's logo. He's wearing Zero Escape merch. Such good friends that they, alongside Danganronpa's artist and the composer (who also has done games like No More Heroes and did Vanquish at the same time as Danganronpa) left Spike Chunsoft after V3 and founded their own company, Too Kyo Games. Despite the name, they also make anime, like Akudama Drive. Basically just went and made their own Kojima Productions.
I think it's just a recurring in-joke for the devs. I was playing 428 Shibuya Scramble (one of their few sound novels officially translated in English) and it had a similar weird meta conspiracy plot about Chunsoft.
The plot is even fully summarized in the game's wikipedia page if anyone's curious.
I always mean to give Shibuya a go. Did you enjoy it?
@@codebreaker979 ): i cant get it cause i only have ps4
A likely story... 🤨 You must be one of "them," running a disinformation campaign to hide the truth!
Or maybe "they" paid you to leave a comment and call this "just a running gag." I hope they paid you well! 😤
🤭/j
It's a great breakdown of another cool thing chunsoft got up to in their cryptic sounding meta nonsense, but he did bite the chunwich =P
so the office has an in-office ARG-style running gag? that is honestly amazing.
Least insane ChunSoft story:
This is just pure crystalized perfect chuuni bait. They REALLY knew their audience, and it's really cool that they had the same sense of humor and enjoyment of the genre back then. It really shows you how old the visual novel industry is. Chunsoft were doing creepypasta decades before it blew up here, and without the same internet infrastructure. And the meta-ness is like catnip for the people that already like the genre.
Oh, and no, Chunsoft absolutely would allow this. That is 100% their style.
Cool
That's exactly what a brainwashed by thousands of hours of chunsoft games would say!
This is so weird to hear as someone who only knows Chunsoft from their Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games
Since Takemaru Abiko also wrote 殺戮にいたる病 which is a very highly acclaimed mystery book with (spoiler) unreliable narrator, it probably makes sense why he put these little conpisracy stories as easter eggs for people to enjoy.
Killer Disease? Yeah, that is nothing that is new to me. I mean, people have been making virus spreading stories since at least Arrowsmith way back in the year 1931, and by the time that Michael Crichton burst onto the scene with The Andromeda Strain (which is a pretty good book, as well as film, by the way), well, people that were from my part of the world were pretty well acquainted with viruses, regardless of them being fictional or real.
Ghost cars in gta san andreas aren’t necessarily a bug. Them driving on their own is. One of the devs said in an interview a long time ago that he put them out there for players who got lost in the woods to have an easy way out but they didn’t mean for them to move, that was because of a bug with the spawning. That part is the bug, because the dev said that he didn’t mean to have them spawn on the sides of hills
so they are not "driving on their own" they are just rolling down a hill
@@kobold7466 yep!
He did bring up the cars in his the San Andreas video bout myths and such.
@@TheSaiProducts this is the first video I saw from this person, didn’t know that
@@TheSaiProductsWhat's your pfp. I think I've seen it before.
"However it's the other screens where it really gets bizarre, starting with this one..."

RIP Sourcebrew, killed by Spike Chunsoft 😔
With pink blood all over the crime scene too.
Chunsoft made my favorite mystery dungeon games 😢 they got him
Hang on? Didn't Chunsoft made Hong Kong 97!?
SPIKE DUDLEY is a really great person.
@@Curlyheart 3D!! Though a table!
There's something so innately interesting and creepy about obscure Japanese video games like this, particularly those from the 5th and 6th console generations. They carry an air of mystery, of forboding, like buried secrets that weren't supposed to be uncovered. They harken back to a time where not everything could be debunked with a quick Google search and the truth, if there was any, was hidden in rumors and hoaxes and wild speculation. It's a phenomenon that I doubt we will every truly see again.
Another good one is LSD: Dream Emulator, released in 1998. It's about the varying effects of LSD represented as levels that get increasingly more bizarre and surreal as you go. At one point you enter a district that is nothing but a black void with human faces on walls moving around with their eyes blacked out. It can actually be pretty damn unnerving and eerie even though it's not a horror game.
@@robjef622 Oh, yeah! I remember that one! It's nuts!
@@robjef622 Lovely Sweet Dream Emulator. I thought it was supposed to be a dream diary of some sort.
Listening to it the text absolutely reads like the writer is suffering from pretty severe paranoid delusions, i hope he got the help he needed.
I used to play a japanese horror game for psx, It started in an empty beach and there was a city in an Island, Very creepy, never could know the name
"Starting with this one"
*Cuts to an ad for some shity mobile game*
Man that was scary!!!
As a fan of visual novels, there are so many for the PS1 and PS2 that have never and most likely will never be translated. It's kind of a huge shame. You basically need to learn Japanese or you're out of luck. I can only imagine how many really great VN's we just don't have access to because of a lack of a translation, fanmade or otherwise.
me with tokimeki memorial ;.;
I recall RetroArch having an option to translate in-game text on the fly. Maybe that feature can work for text heavy visual novel games?
Even policenauts didn't get official translation
@@TH-fp5qj how do you use rectroarch btw?
"not all the information was inherited by later generations"
That second message is the most scary to me. It sounds exactly like a real madman's ramblings, the syntax is really similar to the way the TempleOS guy wrote for example. All that stuff about digging around in your skull for a secret membrane seems reallistic too, think of all the new age wackos saying there are secrets in your body you can unlock with magnets or lasers or whatever. Totally would believe it was a real manifesto in a different context.
Exactly what I was thinking. The first story is a run-of-the-mill spooky creepypasta, while the second one is the deranged ramblings of a schizophrenic cultist who witnessed a lovecraftian abomination.
nah you just gotta put yourself into the mind of a schizo, i can make those kind of scary ramblings too, you just gotta know a few tropes of a schizo. Watch a few gangstalking crazies on youtube and listen to what they say.
RIP Terry Davis
Rip
It really does feel like a full fledged schizopost considering it mentions harmful radio waves, paranoia fueled body horror, and esoteric occult concepts.
This kind of hidden meta storytelling is so cool, it works especially well here because it's a 100% reward for this massive VN. You've finally seen everything and you got the gold bookmark, you select it to load up your file to see if there's any sort of completion bonus, but you're met with not a bonus, but an entirely new meta narrative surrounding the game itself. It's the equivalent of the 2D Rayman 2 beta stage in the PS1 port of Rayman 2, or various unlockable development rooms in other games, showing you a peek behind the curtain. This goes one step further- since it's so much easier and faster to create something in text, a whole new scenario is added with multiple brand new choices.
Ace Combat 3 had something similar, you have this whole plotline, but with 100% completion the game ends with a bombshell of a meta twist that re contextualizes everything you did throughout the entire game.
@@atoaster9940 that's fucking hype. Way to reward the hardcore completionists Chun
Edit: no idea if they're even related. 😂
@@crakhaed Ace Combat 3 is fucking amazing and deserves to be looked at more. It may look like a simple plane game but it's a LOT more.
@@atoaster9940 Its a shame its so hard to play if you don't speak japanese, lol. I think there's an english fanmade translation but man I'd kill for a port/official translation or a remaster. I'd love to try it.
The chunsoft torture room just makes the employees do destiny tower runs with kecleon
6:18 "starting with this one-" *cuts to a Temu ad* AHHH
Spike Chunsoft is now owned by a conglomerate called Dwango Co. Who actually own a whole range of companies similar to what the writer described was there main goal...
considering one of spike chunsoft's most popular game danganronpa literally talks about world domination i just think chunsoft dominating the world is just an inside joke
This, as soon as it was brought up that they were the modern day Spike Chunsoft it all made sense with V3's ending lol
@@ice-choco-Icecream Don't forget the real fictional characters! That's such an aggressive tell.
I actually found this much more funny than creepy or unsettling. It's like I'm listening to the hobo from the gas station near my house.
Why did I immediately think of darkel from GTA 3 when I read hobo?
@@Curlyheart cus he is a hobo
The second story when it talks about stabbing with a needle and when it does not bleed this is proof of the membrane. This is a variation of a test for witches they performed in the medieval times. Witch hunters would stab them with needles and when it didn't bleed they knew you were a witch. The catch? The witch-hunters were scammers and had a special kind of needle which had a button to allow it to retract into the handle, which when stabbed at someone would look like they didn't bleed. They said they were looking for "the witches spot" or something like that, there was only one spot necessary so they would actually stab them with needles quite a few times before "finding it".
the authors of these works are clearly well read which makes sense considering they are game writers. Most of these are just real solid horror stories that have a lot in common with older literary horror which often get very surreal, and also "Weird Fiction". I was reminded of French Symbolist and German Expressionist works when hearing these stories but obviously with a new-age sci-fi element to them. One contemporary author who has a lot of stories like this too is Thomas Ligotti. really cool stuff. There is also a short horror story collection written in the 2000s called The White Hands and other Weird Tales by Mark Samuels that has a story about a company that enslaves employees for some conspiracy
>Claims Chunsoft is evil
>Years later they make Danganronpa
He was right.
honestly the story with the blue entity seems to me like a sort of spooky Easter egg or joke, one of the writers getting trapped into the game and being cursed feels pretty in line with how meta the second game is anyways so it kind of fits pretty well like a nice addition to the games story. idk about the other ones though they are a lot more cryptic but probably still some sort of creepy Easter egg or in joke like other comments suggest. still very interesting glitches however
I think the Fear story seems to be the game character's POV of finally capturing the dev/the player
Calling out the apathy of the dev and player for killing them over and over, where they finally can get their revenge and make them afraid lmao
The rambling about a beast killing someone or whatever makes me think its meant to reference an ending in the game
and the character is comparing their death in that to how they'll kill the dev/player
I assume that specific death would hint at what character is actually talking to you
@@somecrappyedits TRUE that would all make sense..
I shit you not, but moments after watching 24:17, my doorbell rang twice. My apartment maintenance workers had come for an annual check. 💀
At the first mention of Chunsoft I thought ‘oh hey, those guys worked on the pokemon mystery dungeon explorers games!’ which I know because their logo appears every time you open the game
I did not expect the direction the rest of the video went
This reminds me of the secret dev message hidden in the Amiga port of Myst, except there's no creepy stuff and it wasn't necessarily fictional
It reminds me of the secret profanity message in the beta ROM of the pagemaster SNES game that says "Fu©ked you Fu©ker" im not kidding, look it up
Kamaitachi no yoru and portopia are possibly the two most influential games in the VN and adventure game genres in Japan. Their influence on other game creators can't be understated.
And yet everybody translates borderline pedo hentai and harem boylove crap instead of some specific legendary ones (I know the FIRST KNY got translated, two or three decades after the original releas, and even that version is today basically completely lost and semi-impossible to locate, legal or not)
@@codebreaker979 So should be the pedobait harem drag that still everybody apparently "reads for the articles" xD
uh no shit sherlock
"I'm writing this hidden message in this very specific way because this is the only way they won't see it being shared; also, now that you are reading it, they're already out there to get you. It's too late now."
what if the blue entity was just their manager who always wore the same blue dress shirt and this is just how they felt about him lol
Or what if its just electro
The Delay Llama popping into the OST at around 20:35 has me wildin'.
For me personally, this seems like a joke by the game makers. They don't really expect anyone to get all endings and find the message. There have been other games people have done stuff like this just as a hidden message for those even able to find it.
By far, this is the scariest thing I've ever seen in a game. I remember it from a few years ago, and it's legitimately been something I've thought about every month or so since. I absolutely love it.
Someone in Chunsoft either lost their mind or put this as an odd joke.
ain't that the company that made Danganronpa?
@@CameronLePizza Zero Escape too
From what i remember reading in another video, it's a joke from one of the devs, they had done similar things in other titles.
@@CameronLePizza yes. Yes they are, also Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
@@AzureRoxe surprised they didn’t do anything like this in like Danganronpa, where it honestly wouldn’t be too out of place.
I believe it's a really well made imitation of a schizophrenic episode. It covers a lot of typical symptoms like hidden body devices and self surgery, similar to those that believe there are microphones in their teeth and attempt to pull them out. Contacting government officials with plots about saving the world is also a very common one. This is somewhat humorous to me and I feel like the studio behind this game thought the same thing when hiding this in it. It can be insensitive to adapt the experience of people really suffering from schizophrenia into a type of horror entertainment but the amount of observation needed to be accurate about the condition can be funny to a lot of people, because it has the potential to really f with people that have no awareness or understanding of how it commonly manifests.
I also think that the writer being kept as a slave in a basement could be an exaggerated parallel to the working conditions of a Japanese salaryman. Same with the company taking over the world, it seems like a running joke. When you are creative, intelligent and like to play pranks, it's hard to pass up on the opportunity of potentially messing with a lot of people in their room in the dark at 3 am when you have the chance, instead of simply releasing a bland regular game and being done with it forever. The charm of this is that it's still being mined, talked about and has a global reach well after 25 years. That is no easy feat for a piece of media to achieve.
I AINT READIN ALL THAT
damn, that's actually super original, and WAY ahead of its time. basically it's the video game equivalent of breaking the 4th wall, which honestly I personally have never seen anything like this, to this extent, where the broken 4th wall and the irl elements are such a core part of the game's hidden mystery. i wouldn't play it, but it makes for a dope video/story
So the guy repeats himself in different ways A LOT. which is a genuine sign of psychosis that rarely gets shown in media.
Seeing as spike chunsoft specializes in horror games some even focusing on mental illness like the villain from 999, I can definitely see it as an Easter egg. If it was just the 1st game I'd say it feels real, but the 2nd game has so much to it I lean a bit more to it as an Easter egg.
yeah, I can tell you I'm pretty positive this is an inside joke considering the humour I've seen from their newer games. On the plus side - this video reminded me that I still have the original mobile port for Banshee's Last Cry on my old iPad! So I've got something interesting to play :3
Instructions unclear: Membrane stuck to tangerine in air conditioning unit. If you cannot remove it, it means you have the golden ball of fat in your heart.
Lolllll

Came in expecting a curse, found an overworked dude going insane with a toxic work environment.
"The company torture room" made me snort lol
10:48 “He believed the characters in the game were coming to take revenge on him for killing them off in so many different ways in the scenarios that he wrote. And he believes that the blue entity is one of these disgruntled characters.”
Yo that is some Re: Creators and Opus stuff.
Or since it's Chunsoft, Danganronpa V3.
If you think about it carefully, each of the 4 given options you can select, seem to actually somewhat match with each of the 4 effects (even though they are randomized, wonder if this was intentional or a mistake).
-Become Cursed, is definitely the blue head story, since there's multiple mentions and implications of a curse;
-Choose To Suffer, is most definitely the creepy one with the flashing images, as it heavily mentions, features, depicts, and talks of suffering;
-Be Cautious, is very probably the weird ringing screen story, since over all it can be read like a warning of sorts, and does say to "be careful" towards the end (and though it does also mention suffering at the start, and being cursed at the end, it makes more sense that the other two options are for the other two stories, which feature each of these themes far more prominently and pervasively);
-Why You Will Die, then, by logic and exclusion, must probably be the 1 second picture frame, no clue though what's that supposed to mean, how or why that relates to the picture.
I'm a Japanese learner. I unknowingly listened to a lets play of this game like a week ago having no idea of it's origin or what it was even about (I'm pretty new at it). That's insane
I am so freaked out for some reason. I can’t watch this at night I gotta finish it tomorrow lol
Occam's razor: This is just a really old ARG.
If you are familiar with Japanese sense of humor, this is clearly a funny easter egg meant to freak out people.
Japanese devs tend to leave little messages or hidden easter eggs unlocked by doing some bizarre or almost impossible task in the game, usually making fun of the company they work for, managers or the game itself. Hell, I think the debug room of the original Final Fantasy VII had tons of creepypasta worthy dialogues and that was a very successful mainstream title. Imagine what they left in more obscure games
The only eerie part about all of this honestly was me looking up their dev history and seeing how much I DO trust Chunsoft lmao
Thank you so much for covering this mystery! This has haunted me for a while, and I find it to be fucking disturbing... Definately one of gaming's creepiest mysteries, right up there with Uboa and the Crypt dungeon from WoW.
I’ve watched scary gameEaster egg/glitches/moments for years but I’ve never heard of this game before. Very interesting stuff, I really enjoyed this video
Chunsoft also made the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series.
What if one of them contain some insane shit like the one in these games lmao.
This whole ordeal is just a very verbose way to describe what being in Aegis Cave in PMD2 feels like.
@@frylucas Dude, why you had to remind me.
11:40
LOUD RINGING WARNING
Be careful
Thanks man, migraine saved :D
y'alll dont get it, it's a reference to how Osamu Sato was deeply connected to Aum Shinrkyo cult
After watching this there is no way Dan Salvato didnt know about these earlier chunsoft games and draw inspiration from it making DDLC, very cool!
These scenes seem too complex and purposeful to be a glitch, lol
You're one of my favorite channels dude, keep it up. I remember watching something about this game before but I'd use a refresher. If I'm not mistaken, Kotaro Uchikoshi which is an author of some of my favorite games (Zero Escape series for example) had something to do with this series.
Fantastic video, can't believe I haven't subbed to you yet. Happy 100k!
Damn imagine being a paranoid schitzofrenic and finding this easter egg.
"the chunsoft mass stabing incident"
At least you admitted that you saw it from a different vid I see lots of people making thorough vids of Easter eggs I just saw in videos not too long ago and it makes me wonder and you explained everything which is nice 🌞
So glad you made this video. I just played the first game a couple months back and loved it. Hope this leads into someone translating the others
Hi arta
I wonder if Chunsoft has good benefits for workers of the Company Torture Room.
oh you little rascal mini jump scaring me at the end !
Man invites guests to island,man is missing,and someone or something is trying to kill the guests.that is a great videogame idea
Super underrated channel
very cool easter eggs. thanks for the video!
Maybe you could make a collab with Tara A. Devlin? She makes content like this on her channel and translates japanese media for us. You could play this game together and dig into all mysterious aspects.
Tara is my favorite stinky Australian shut in
no
i've been waiting for someone to cover this, it's one of scariest easter eggs to me and there was so little info about it
I've been having reoccurring thoughts about this game. thank you for explaining what this game is & why it haunts my brain.
Pretty silly to assume that one rogue developer would be able to hide something like that in the first game. An obvious funny easter egg.
Amazing Video, One of the Best on the Subject. Not Many People are so Good at Trying to Learn the Secret of Kamaitachi no Yoru
Thanks for the Mention, it's Nice to Hear Your "Name" in Someone's Video
Too Bad You didn't Mention the in-game Secret Message (Which I Showed in my Video) Because it Contains the Lore for these Secrets/Easter Eggs
I Would Like to Say, as a Person Who has Gone through All 4 Games and Ports on Different Consoles, that there is Another Secret, the Mention of Which I Have Never Seen on TH-cam and it is Also Difficult to Find Mention of this on the Internet in Japanese
Maybe I'll Show it Soon...
And there's a chance that everyone who speaks japanese are just fucking with us
A lot of this sounds like metaphor. Especially the second and third "glitch" screen. But everyone seems to want to take it literally.
what i appreciate about the easter eggs is that they both have an element of the longer you're exposed to the game the worse the effects get while also requiring the maximum amount of time and effort dedicated to the game to see. its a nice touch and while it can often be overused and trite in horror media when done well i like it. like house of leaves for example. obviously this is not as intricate as that but still.
Pretty cute how they put this in as an Easter egg. Probably gave some of their staff the chance to write their own horror stories
I really like the content in that debug menu - even though it's 'not meant to be found,' it really is. Game Labo magazine in Japan was popular for people into game hacking, copying, pirating, etcetera. Game copying tools and Action Replay devices were advertised all over them, and there were always vast lists of action replay codes that the editors made for the latest games for bringing up things like debug menus, not just for cheating. It seems they put the images in that debug mode intentionally knowing that people would find it eventually through hacking, and it's an amazingly powerful surprise when people discover something incredibly mysterious in a mystery game, even when they're trying to look deep into the game's code and assets rather than the regular gameplay narration.
Hey man I've been watching for a while and am waiting to see you hit 100k. Are you going to do a livestream or something like that? Your so close and remember when you were like 60k subs.
100k whoo good job can’t wait for your first million definitely gonna happen
Man gonna miss SourceBrew, dude got sent to the shadow realm by Chunsoft. 😢
Given the games I've played from them this seems like a fun creepy ester egg rather than anything nefarious.
nothing feels weirder than falling asleep to this video twice
wake up babe sourcebrew uploaded!
Most original comment on TH-cam 💀
@@nohandlefound. 💀 best reply on youtube
im up
this sounds more like an easter egg since some chunsoft games are like that especially danganronpa 2 where theres an world ending event and the ending saying the game is program and danganronpa v3 ending having a breaking the 3rd wall twist
I would love to know the song you used at the intro
12:22 From google translating WAY too many Japanese twitter posts over the last few years, the phrase "it can't be helped" comes up a LOT. And yet it never fully seems to fit and almost always feels like a machine translation, due to how it always sounds kind of clunky in the full sentence.
Damn, this story game looks good!
This is the best hidden content I know of, but what you need to do to get it must be tedious as hell.
so you cherrypicked this ending out of context, or do zoomers really find this scary because they don't understand japanese and don't do basic research on this game? the game is just horror murder mystery at first but if you play more than 30% it becomes more of a comedy and has meta humor...no one was ever scared by this shit
Lol
This definitely seems like one of the earliest attempts at developers making an ARG in a video game.
As usual, there's always at least one person who thinks something vaguely mysterious funnels down to "mAYbe iTs a ARg!!!"
@@Echidneys I agree with the general sentiment, but this is - *in one of the most literal ways imaginable* - an alternate reality game. The story is very meta, attempts to build a mythos around real-life events involving the game itself and - whilst not in the conventional sense - is most certainly an interactive game where the player's actions influence the outcome of the story.
It most certainly fits the definition.
@@Echidneys It literally is an ARG but alright
@@Echidneys Chunsoft literally is known for making ARGs for games like Sourcebrew said. This is not that much of a stretch. It’s not like I’m calling a random spooky Easter egg an ARG. Like this whole mystery clearly has the elements of one in several ways and the company has continued to do similar things even now.
Nexpo, blameitonjorge, cadaber featuring, and now sourcebrew ??? Hell yeah baby
note: this chunsoft is what went on to become spike chunsoft, did the first 5 dragon quest games, most of the mystery dungeon games (including Etrian Mystery Dungeon) and the Danganronpa series.
Also... there's ANOTHER remake of 1, that also came out for windows, called Kamaitachi no Yoru Rinkai Ayane
Now I need a sequel of this video where you discover the secrets of the 3rd game
Sourcebrew upload, all work stops
Chunsoft is a japanese company, of course they'll allow their developers to insert an easter egg where they appear as a cult trying to dominate the world through visual novels. It just makes sense.
It's literally the plot of their biggest original franchise's last main series game. So many spoilers for a single game that exists in an isolated AU: Danganronpa V3 is an AU where Chunsoft, after becoming Spike Chunsoft, succeeded at all this via the Danganronpa franchise and now instead of using magic for real life killing games with real fictional characters, implants them in human bodies and just does it irl as death game reality television. The previous works in the series are literally just video games and anime and stuff in the universe of V3, made by the evil org responsible for everything, now called Team Danganronpa. But if they made the series... they're Spike Chunsoft. Using VNs and games and finally TV to take over the world, using fictional characters who are actually alive to make the media.
And previous entries in the series reference other parts of the easter egg (spoilers for the main universe). The brainwashing videos in particular are a major plot point. You have the one that makes you obedient to Junko, and one that makes you kill yourself in a mad self-destructive frenzy. So... brainwashing and the screaming faces basically.
@@PosthumanHeresy Thanks for the info, but at least put a spoiler warning, I haven't played any Danganronpa yet :v
@@MiltonGagliardi Ahh fair, sorry! It's just impossible to discuss the connection without spoilers so I wasn't thinking. Put the thing!
i remember hearing about this game in one of those mysterious game listings, before icebergs were popular. i think there were mentions of some pretty messed up stuff happening to a dev who worked on it, causing all the weird shit to be added. idk how true it is. man, japan *really is* something different. i fucking love it
I can’t wait to see him finish the whole iceberg a lost media
I was a beta tester for FO76 and words can't describe the amount of empty it used to be. Beat the main and ran out of things to do, the bugs were hilarious. Everyone was fairly friendly for an online game. Tried to play it again recently and its almost completely different, dull and lifeless like elder scrolls online
cool.
Elder Scrolls Online isn’t empty and dull though.
> skips every conversation and cut scenes in the game
> calls it dull
I was looking into this the other day after rewatching the Oddheader video it was mentioned in, this is great timing lol
God I love old obscure japanese video games with hidden creepy esoteric lore and mysteries ❤
We have come for your Nectar
I'm amazed, I think that's the first full completion bonus I've seen that is worth jumping through all the hoops required. I especially hate when a game just gives you some ingame item. I already did everything there is to do. What do I need this for? Here they give you something to scramble about, something to discuss and speculate about with your friends. I wish more companies would think outside the box like that.
this is how you get your company razed by the FBI
considering these guys made dangen ronpa This doesnt surprise me lmao
