My favorite positive review for God’s Basement is the person who said “Very spooky. I liked the part where I could phase through the walls and speedrun the game. 10/100” lololol
as a mom, I also do this but my containers have dividers to sort them out in different size and type. for anyone who collect anything, please, arrange your collections properly.
i think there's gonna be a lot of examples of people correcting you going (John's guys voice) "well, this game actually did that too". but which game actually did it first? that'd be intersting
guys op didn't say there aren't any games like that. It's just that there are only a few compared to the many that won't let you leave. Your reading comprehension needs some work
When I went to basic training there were tons of things written on the walls of the porta-johns. At the 7 day field exercise someone had written a story that required going in order from each one down the line.
I'm so impressed with John's ability to always remember little demos and bad indie horror games that take 30 minutes or less to play through! I suppose it's because what we see as a 30 minute game, he has to spend a lot of time editing. Damn. Now that I think about it, John has to experience every bad game twice.
i've been binging these random horror game videos and it's actually not just because he edits them and sees it over and over, he remembers very specific small games a lot like what game has the same assets, the devs old games, etc
I also like lighting a thick candle in the middle of the woods and then head back home. You got to keep the forest on their hind legs and let them know who's in charge, lest they try to pull a sneaky one on you.
Watching John Wolfe has made me really come to loathe the "you were the killer all along" cliche. I can't believe how many games use this god awful "twist".
My favorite thing about watching John over the past 5 years was, him going from “I have a twitch channel you guys I feel like nobody knows about it” to averaging 1000 viewers a stream raising 100s of thousands in charity
The hand painted art style of Now You See made me think of the hand drawn art style of the folk horror game, Mundaun, that was released this year. I recently played through it and loved it - I think you’d be into it too, John! Be it playing it for the channel or just on your own. I’m super excited to see more from the dev.
@@GreenMonkeyToaster In the beginning of _Now You See,_ I actually thought they shared the same soundtrack composer, Artur Kordas (one of my favourite horror soundtrack composers after playing _Darkwood)._ Turns out they aren't, but the vibes are vaguely similar at the start of the game. Great atmosphere.
Just gonna point out, "ZOZO" is a "real" demon. More-so a myth, it's said that whenever you contact through a Ouija Board, the triangle thingy zooms from Z to O back and forth until someone lets go.
I thought it was hilarious cuz out of context, zozo isn't scary if you don't know what it is. So he just carried on innocently and it was great. Zozo deserves to be mad that he can't scare someone cuz John doesn't give a damn about him lmao
Yeah I was gonna say, if anything it just means he isn't a Ghost Adventures fan. I immediately thought of that nonsense episode when Zak started making everything into 'demon drama'. That's where it started -_-'
I love when he sasses the viewers. Like I've never once had any of the thoughts he vocalizes but it's hilarious that he assumes that's what we're thinking xD
didn't he say that in regard to god's basement? he definately didn't give that game a chance lmao. but it's alright because sometimes media just doesn't hook you in and you're just impatient that day so you say "screw it, moving on."
Yessss we’ve been dying for another indie horror game episode from you Also, Zozo is an infamous demon name from lore of yore or whatever. It’s associated with ouija boards in particular. It’s said that if your board says that then you need to like end the session and be super careful and crap. It makes people panic so if you’re ever using one with a group of people, you can steer the planchette to spell out Zozo to freak them out.
Yep. I was gonna comment that it's actually a 'thing'. Several things are covered on Zozo and Ouija Boards in paranormal shows and stuff. There was even a horror movie made based off it. I really dont know how someone going into this game blind with possibly little to no knowledge of paranormal stuff outside of games is supposed to know that to 'be on the lookout' for it in this game. Maybe they should have made a note for the user of what names were gonna be relevant if came across on the board in game.
I feel like there was an episode of Ghost Adventures, one of the times Zak Bagans decided a Ouija board was a great idea, where they used the Ouija board and the "ghost" spelled out ZoZo and Zak flipped out lol now I'm gunna have to see if I can find it. Edit: Season 10 Episode 3 it's literally called Zozo Demon lmao
Didn't this nonsense about Zozo originate as the name of a brand who made ouija boards or some such? I seem to have a faint memory of that stored in my brain somewhere in a far off corner.
@@MalO.ver1.0.x I've never heard that. Just that it was associated with a demon that contacts you through the board. Idk. All really depends on what you believe, I guess. A lot of people will swear it's real and others will deny. As with lots of things that can't be scientifically proven. Haha.
Demon: "Zozo" John: "You just made up a name, didn't you... that's not your real name." Demon: "Zozo" John: "OK, are you good or bad? And don't just say 'Zozo' again or I'm leaving." Demon: "Zozo" John: "What's the point if I'm just getting trolled! 'Where are you?' - Let me guess, _Zozo."_ Demon: *"Head"* Me: 🤣
@@annier1873 I believe he made a video at some point about how he didn't want his channel to be exclusively horror, and how it was just draining him. So that probably was a major factor in giving himself more freedom to play what he wants.

I think I would enjoy a video of him reading reviews on games he's played in the past that he absolutely loathed. Watching him read the "glowing reviews" for that God Basement game was quite enjoyable.
When my father passed away, I also inherited his impressive collection of mason and peanut butter jars filled with random nuts and bolts. Oh, and wire connectors of every variety. Why so many wire connectors I'll never know.
It's really fun watching John do the random horror games live. Having an audience to riff off of whether the game is good, bad, or just has too much puzzle adds a nice new dynamic to a great series.
there's only few things that make me drop everything i'm doing and watch a video 3 random horror games series is one of them and it's also near 2h hours long, sad i missed it live but it will be fun anyway
For context: Zozo is the supposed name of a demon that possessed a young boy using a Ouija Board who was publicly named "Roland Doe", which was a pseudonym. Parts of the story were adapted into the well known franchise "The Exorcist". So when Zozo said "Head" in response to "where are you", I think the implication is that he was possessing you.
Boy, was the second game a disaster. The steps to trigger the next event were so convoluted they don't make any sense. You sit there listening to the operator yapping forever and have to wait 3 minutes for the hint. Do they even know what a hint is? They literally provided the solution to everything. We all managed to sit through it because of John's humour.
John your sass is one of the main reasons why I quickly fell in love with your content lol Your videos and streams are a welcome distraction! Thank you!
I am proud to admit that I am also keeping up my family's tradition of 'random crap' drawers. We have one whole kitchen drawer dedicated to random crap that doesn't have a home anywhere else. It's like Narnia for household items.
God's Basement is one of the worst games you've played in a while honestly! Now You See is sick though. The 3rd act was questionable but overall I really enjoyed watching you play it.
i still think you might enjoy some of it, however if you somehow end up playing it, the only thing i can say without spoiling anything is that it is a very unique game
John singing “where is my hairbrush” from veggie tales took me back to an obscure place in my childhood. Now you see was great…until that end sequence….
searched a play through of “i’m on observation duty” and got hooked on this channel. i love your response to horror games; it’s really refreshing compared to the tendencies of a lot of streamers! definitely subscribing 😄
Wow, God's Basement is awful. A game that is SO INCREDIBLY unintuitive that you HAVE to rely on hints? The puzzles are horribly constructed too and it's chock-full of cliches. I guess you felt the atmosphere cause you played it, I was just incredibly bored and thanked god you skipped to the last "chapter". It wasn't even funny kind of bad, so it's good that you included the reviews.
God's basement is literally my teacher when she make a test, make the question so hard no one would figure it out but when you ask how to do it she'll tell you the answer
kudos to you or the editor for making this stream VOD feel so much like a normal upload. really enjoyable! the 3rd game in particular was good and cool
A week ago I fell down the TH-cam rabbit hole of John Wolfe, Mr Kravin, and CoryxKenshin videos. Then i had a week of work shifts and no TH-cam. And now I’m so out of it for like 15 seconds I thought this was MrKravin 😂
8:56 Hey, that ghost design in 100% in Phasmophobia, it's the one with the circle shape hole where face should be, with the different layers of teeth circling around from outer edge to inner middle of face hole, basically just like a Lamprey
the second game i cant stop laughing from the start it was crazy af....turn on tv look at tv go down hall look at sign go back to tv...who would know to do all that lol and everytime john reads something its the different voices for me lol
Not gonna lie if I were to play gods basement alone I would be weirded out but john’s absolutely hysterical commentary makes it a joy to watch in the middle of the night
God's Basement is so unbelievably bad that I feel like it's actually an elaborate and really well done troll. The solutions are just so random, non-sensical and frustrating that it's like the designer just gave up and decided to see how much of people's time they could waste.
The last game is definitely the best, I really liked it. Tense, gory, and reminded me of some good oldies. Exmortis at some parts for some reason. :) Btw, I thought "death metal vocalist" just before you said it, lol. :D
Zozo is actually a demon and it's like a taboo thing for Ouija board users to even mention while using the board. If you let him finish spelling out his name, you'll get cursed or haunted or some shit like that idk
For the first game you played, I remember watching this one Ghost Adventures episode a long time ago. There's this actual demon called Zozo. If I recall, he actually writes his name constantly over and over on Oujia Boards, thus why in game it kept saying that over and over.
I've seen this video pop up in my auto play so many times and I always stay to watch him to the zozo part again because watching him completely and unknowingly own a supposed well known demon is always hilarious to me.
The main character of Now You See really left that girl with her eyes gone to die. Like she was alive and everything and he was just like damn that’s kinda not my problem.
@@spider-man6932 I feel like saying she wasn’t worth saving and letting her die alone locked in a room of corpses because she was traumatized from being tortured isn’t exactly a fair claim
@@Randomuse456 I know , I am sorry but didn’t you see that she also started chanting the now you see ? She was mentally broken plus the protagonist didn’t know if he would be even able to escape and save himself so he probably didn’t have any hope of saving somebody else
@@spider-man6932 yea I saw that too I’m not disagreeing she went crazy at all and to be fair he did have enough on his hands as is but I was just saying “she was crazy so she wasn’t worth helping” isn’t a very good way of looking at things lol
Man....Those positive reviewers talking about God's Basement definitely haven't played too many horror games....Either that or they're friends of this developer, or the developer got paid for these people to say stuff like this about the game. I'm just as baffled as John here. Also about the 3rd game....When it stated about a heavy thunderstorm crashing above, a thunderstorm started appearing where I am.
Most asset flip indie walking sims that pretend to be horror do this, sadly. These games and devs should be reported. Being allowed to buy assets is already lazy enough. They should learn their jobs and finish their studies first before asking for money for trash
Majority of them have about 4 hours on record, and are about a paragraph long and give very basic and vague praise to the game. More than likely just a bunch of people who were paid to just boot the game up and leave it running for about 4 hours (I'm guessing the average time to beat the game) and then to just write some nice things. An unfortunately common thing for these types of games.
That second game was so atrocious that it actually offended me. I remember watching you play the demo a few years back and thinking it had an interesting concept but they completely butchered the final product.

Lol, he just wants peace and quiet 😅😆
John singing “where is my hairbrush” from veggie tales took me back to an obscure place in my childhood.
Now you see was great…until that end sequence….
Im wheezing at the part when he was reviewing all the positive reviews on God's basement. So gold.
searched a play through of “i’m on observation duty” and got hooked on this channel. i love your response to horror games; it’s really refreshing compared to the tendencies of a lot of streamers! definitely subscribing 😄
that third games art was really pretty in a gory way lmao
That bit in Now You See actually shook me. I'm weak.
While everyone is mourning about the disappearance of "Hey guys, it's John!" intro, while I still long for the coveted "Greetings critical viewers!"
Wow, God's Basement is awful. A game that is SO INCREDIBLY unintuitive that you HAVE to rely on hints? The puzzles are horribly constructed too and it's chock-full of cliches. I guess you felt the atmosphere cause you played it, I was just incredibly bored and thanked god you skipped to the last "chapter". It wasn't even funny kind of bad, so it's good that you included the reviews.
Also why does God's basement look like an abandoned office? I thought it would resemble Heaven at least slightly
@@alexanderm.635 it's clearly where god made everything, he first made an office and then he created the world.
@@alexanderm.635 resemble heaven? Lol what's heaven look like? Lol
@@CapnLubeHandles If you're trying to start a religious debate, you're failing, because I'm not going to inflame your wildfire any further.
@@alexanderm.635 lol except im not. You said you "thought it would resemble heaven" which means you must know what heaven looks like lol.
Dang. How did you even manage to survive editing the God's Basement footage? That game seemed painful enough just to play.
You never know when you'll need 100 jars of random nails and screws and shit.
For real. My old man did the same with peanut butter jars
Hearing the midnight music throughout a chunk of this video made me smile big I love that band
I am SO stoked to hear The Midnight on your channel. The Midnight is an awesome group.
Can I just freaking sayy.. we need moreee of these kinda videos. Love this series and seems like forever since we had 3 rando games
John is a hardcore horror gamer! Here I am watching this video in total terror, and the whole video he’s just completely calm!
God's basement is literally my teacher when she make a test, make the question so hard no one would figure it out but when you ask how to do it she'll tell you the answer
kudos to you or the editor for making this stream VOD feel so much like a normal upload. really enjoyable! the 3rd game in particular was good and cool
A week ago I fell down the TH-cam rabbit hole of John Wolfe, Mr Kravin, and CoryxKenshin videos. Then i had a week of work shifts and no TH-cam. And now I’m so out of it for like 15 seconds I thought this was MrKravin 😂
John's ranting soothes my soul
It's always the main character that ends up being a murderer. Good lord stop.
John singing Lary the Cucumber gives me all the happiness I need for the day.
*John:* _"Zozo"?!_
*A shy introverted ghost named Zozo:* :C
"Dude, if I died and I found out that the afterlife is an indie horror game, just send me to hell."
*sends John Wolfe into Agony*
11:42 “It looks about 5 years old or so…”
John: “…and you’re basing that on what?”
Simple quips like this always have me cracking up 😂
8:56 Hey, that ghost design in 100% in Phasmophobia, it's the one with the circle shape hole where face should be, with the different layers of teeth circling around from outer edge to inner middle of face hole, basically just like a Lamprey
I noticed that too!
Unity model
14:40 John reacting like a disappointed parent at what the dev intended as an "oh shit!" moment is top tier.
the second game i cant stop laughing from the start it was crazy af....turn on tv look at tv go down hall look at sign go back to tv...who would know to do all that lol and everytime john reads something its the different voices for me lol
Not gonna lie if I were to play gods basement alone I would be weirded out but john’s absolutely hysterical commentary makes it a joy to watch in the middle of the night
God's Basement is so unbelievably bad that I feel like it's actually an elaborate and really well done troll.
The solutions are just so random, non-sensical and frustrating that it's like the designer just gave up and decided to see how much of people's time they could waste.
The last game is definitely the best, I really liked it. Tense, gory, and reminded me of some good oldies. Exmortis at some parts for some reason. :)
Btw, I thought "death metal vocalist" just before you said it, lol. :D
that second game had progression like a bunch of unrelated and impossible to find easter eggs
Zozo is actually a demon and it's like a taboo thing for Ouija board users to even mention while using the board. If you let him finish spelling out his name, you'll get cursed or haunted or some shit like that idk
He’ll give a fat kiss to you if you do
@@eppyeppy9851oh hell yeah, Imma go smooch a demon hell yeah
For the first game you played, I remember watching this one Ghost Adventures episode a long time ago. There's this actual demon called Zozo. If I recall, he actually writes his name constantly over and over on Oujia Boards, thus why in game it kept saying that over and over.
What a nice way to spend my lunch! ☺️
I have seen this in the stream. I'll watch it again.
Thanks John!
I've seen this video pop up in my auto play so many times and I always stay to watch him to the zozo part again because watching him completely and unknowingly own a supposed well known demon is always hilarious to me.
I feel like all those positive reviews of God's Basement were posted by friends of the game dev, or people hired to hype it up, or both, lol.
John: psychological horror games can’t have puzzles
Silent Hill: Am I a joke to you
One day John’s kids will play a game of charades or hang man and the answer will be ZOZO and John will be like “Alright! Game night is canceled!”
John, you were GREAT on Now You See, that game wrecks me, the art is amazing!
*OMG YES JOHN BACK W/ 3 SCARY GAMES* ❤️
Now imagine the true horror of finding the HQ Residential House
The main character of Now You See really left that girl with her eyes gone to die. Like she was alive and everything and he was just like damn that’s kinda not my problem.
She went crazy at the end dude so it wasn’t worth helping her anyways
@@spider-man6932 I feel like saying she wasn’t worth saving and letting her die alone locked in a room of corpses because she was traumatized from being tortured isn’t exactly a fair claim
@@Randomuse456 I know , I am sorry but didn’t you see that she also started chanting the now you see ? She was mentally broken plus the protagonist didn’t know if he would be even able to escape and save himself so he probably didn’t have any hope of saving somebody else
@@spider-man6932 yea I saw that too I’m not disagreeing she went crazy at all and to be fair he did have enough on his hands as is but I was just saying “she was crazy so she wasn’t worth helping” isn’t a very good way of looking at things lol
@@Randomuse456 sorry about that but dude it was a dire situation that’s why I wrote it . Sorry if it offended you
The ghost straight asked John for head HAHAHAHA
Thank you for your videos, they make my day. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE play “I’m on Observation Duty”! This game screams I need the John Wolfe experience.
Man....Those positive reviewers talking about God's Basement definitely haven't played too many horror games....Either that or they're friends of this developer, or the developer got paid for these people to say stuff like this about the game. I'm just as baffled as John here.
Also about the 3rd game....When it stated about a heavy thunderstorm crashing above, a thunderstorm started appearing where I am.
markiplier played Gods Basement if I remember correctly. that might be why there's so many positive reviews
Most asset flip indie walking sims that pretend to be horror do this, sadly. These games and devs should be reported. Being allowed to buy assets is already lazy enough. They should learn their jobs and finish their studies first before asking for money for trash
Some of them sounded very alike, tbh.
They are probably paid
Majority of them have about 4 hours on record, and are about a paragraph long and give very basic and vague praise to the game. More than likely just a bunch of people who were paid to just boot the game up and leave it running for about 4 hours (I'm guessing the average time to beat the game) and then to just write some nice things. An unfortunately common thing for these types of games.
I chortled when you mimicked the getting up motion. 🤣
Second time watching it and the Zozo part still has me dying of laughter, John's unbelieving reaction is golllld 💀💀
That second game was so atrocious that it actually offended me. I remember watching you play the demo a few years back and thinking it had an interesting concept but they completely butchered the final product.
John was WAAAY too easy on God's Basement... it's just not a good game. It's not even a puzzle game... you just have to try random things.
The operator in the gods basement game sounds like the narrator of the pacer test in high school.
That super long glowing review was definitely written by the person who made the game lol. Couldn't help but read it in the operator's voice.
