Am disappointed there was no still image of the metal beard guy at the end with Tom's voice saying "Heyy its me metal beard guy. The emperor has told me to ask you to subscribe"
I like that Tom said he thought he was meant to betray. You were also meant to hit the button prompts Tom, I imagine that would've had a pretty significant impact of the game too!
@@hellasnowy It's on Ravs' Twitch channel titled "House of Ashes w/ Lydia! Have a spooky day pals." I don't think it's been posted to youtube if you were looking for it here, I had a link but it deleted my comment so you'll just have to look yourself. I thought it would be on Lydia's Twitch as well as the co-op has different scenes happening at the same time but it seems it's not there for whatever reason.
I know it's eventually going to snap to modern day and we'll have a bunch of teenagers getting spooked out, like the other games, but I gotta say I really like ancient Mesopotamia as a setting. I would not mind at all if these guys were just our characters going forward.
Yeah the last one with the soldiers on the ship going insane was infinitely more compelling than teens getting hashtag spooked hope they don't make the same mistake this time
Great to see the ancient world that isn't just Egyptian for once. Not too familiar with the period but they looked to be some kind of Mesopotamian culture of sort. Edit: oh they were Akkadian, literally said so in the video XD
Part of the reason I think characters faces go weird is if you play two-player some of those moments would have choices available and the character pulls faces a bit as you decide. It's really interesting to compare with a two player game like Ravs and Lyds did, there's longer and more scenes, better characterisation and more possibilities (though each person only controls their part)
The first locks are believed to have been used in ancient Egypt in 4000 B.C. Attached to heavy doors, these locks had a simple mechanism by which pins of various lengths would fall into slots once it was engaged. A wooden key had to be used to lift the pins out of the slots and allow the door to move.
Holy shit that gum pop animation was so fucking funny. I haven’t watched or played a game from this collection before, is the endearment of it supposed to be like watching a bad movie? Lmao
Tom! Very excited to see simon back on the channel, and I have a recommendation for the two of you! Theres a game on steam called "No One Lives Under the Lighthouse" which is right up your and simon's alley. Its a slowburn horror game about maintaining a lighthouse alone on an island. While there are some similarities to the movie The Lighthouse, I think it goes a long way in differentiating itself from the movie, and even more impressively, it was only made by a team of 3 people; a designer, a developer, and a sound engineer.
It's not just similarities. I watched another channel (I forget which one) play it, and it has at least one direct reference, if you look at one of the pictures in the lighthouse you hear Willem Dafoe's voice say one of the famous lines from the movie (I believe it's the "Why'd ye spill yer beans" one, but I may be wrong). I don't think that was edited in, because the TH-camr I was watching actually reacted to it.
I already watching Lydia and Ravs’ entire play through of this but that’s not stopping me from watching another whole play through with the Riddle Bros!
I can say, after trying it last week, that running night orienteering in a dark forest with a headlamp as your only source of light while listening to the soundtrack for this game makes for a veeery interesting experience :-D
Man I love these goofy games and was excited to hear this one is supposed to be pretty good. Can't get over how much of a mixed bag the facial capture is though, Rachael is truly godawful.
The character animations are so strange, it's like col king has down's syndrome and the expressions change from shot to shot like a badly filmed drama. Still, it's entertaining enough and the lighting and textures are pretty nice!
To be fair it felt earned and kind of cool in Man of Medan, Little Hope though was weird and cheap yeah - I doubt they'd do it a third time in a row too. I seem to remember hearing something a while ago about the creatures being real in this one but I guess we will see.
I have no doubt that I'll grow to despise this game the more they play it just as I have with all the others from this studio, but it's always a fun journey.
I just watched Lydia and Ravs play through this game and I must say this is definitely the best game in the Dark Pictures Anthology. I don't think it's as punishing as the previous games, but it does have a lot better plot, that is very different from the previous ones.
Tom says this is the final game of The Dark Picture Anthology, but I'm pretty sure this is the 3rd of 8 planned games. I hope this isn't the last one Tom and Simon play together. 🥲
I hope they spend a bit more time on the next ones if there are any, because the last few games have been increasingly more shonky in terms of animation and story. The character models are somehow WORSE than they were in Until Dawn as well.
Lets freaking go. Best 45minutes of the year coming right up. (also I dont think this is the final instalment of the series. Read that there is 4th one coming next year)
Less than halfway through this vid and having seen Ravs ans Lydia"s play through, this game is definitely better using the coop, still always excited to see the riddle bros back! And excited to see more of the perspective I didn't get to see while watching Ravs
I love this, and I hope we get Riddle Bros content through into Jingle Jam!! Also, House of Ashes may be an Edgar Allen Poe reference? (Fall of the House of Ashes). Won't spoil the story but it does have mentions of a plague and a tomb.
"Simon always shows up at least an hour late and we have to edit around him whipping his knob out!" "But the video gets ten times the views." "Fair enough, how can we get Simon into more things?"
The riddle bros are back and im so ready for it! Rewatching the call of cthulu playthrough over and over wasn't at all getting old but im glad for new content
Never clicked on a video faster. Most Tom and X partnerships are great but Tom and Simom is the absolute peak
Who’s Simom? I only see Tom and Chauncey
What about Tom and Riddle Bun?
TON! SIMOM!
No other partnerships match the glory these two men.
I love game goblin so much.
Am disappointed there was no still image of the metal beard guy at the end with Tom's voice saying "Heyy its me metal beard guy. The emperor has told me to ask you to subscribe"
What a missed opportunity
"I think it's Pazuzu"
God damned Riddle Bros did it again
It is Pazuzu but like the 'real' one, this game isn't Exorcist related like a few people (myself included) thought it might be.
Simon would be the best person to have on your pub quiz team, hands down.
@AlcoholicReptileSyndrome a snake's phallus or a snake for a phallus?
I like that Tom said he thought he was meant to betray. You were also meant to hit the button prompts Tom, I imagine that would've had a pretty significant impact of the game too!
I love how Tom did the same joke that Lydia and Ravs did about Horsea being a Pokémon
All I remember is them saying the curator has a nice butt lolo

He's only got three tbf he has to be creative in their use
@@unnoticedhero1 it's on Lydia's twitch as well, but iirc it's under highlights and not past broadcasts
The "Read This- It's Dune, By Frank Herbert" gag gets me every dingdang time.
“They seem pretty clueless”
Yeah Simon, they’re Marines.
They're Force Recon, spec ops in all but name. I know it's only a game but the way they've been written so far is pure cringe.
@@synchc All that means is that they get the Crayola crayons to eat rather than having to settle for the less flavourful store brand crayons.
@@Savayan And they apparently salute like the British....who put this together lol
Simon! With the return of PP and Riddle Bro's We are gonna have TONS of simon content to watch :)
He has a twitch channel you know, if you really wanted Simon content
@@Dogtles I am aware but his twitch is not the same as him with other people. IMO Simon is at his best when he has people to bounce off of.
@@odintheprole6068 agreed
@@Dogtles Are you related to Cleveland Brown?
I know it's eventually going to snap to modern day and we'll have a bunch of teenagers getting spooked out, like the other games, but I gotta say I really like ancient Mesopotamia as a setting. I would not mind at all if these guys were just our characters going forward.
I agree, but just post-assassination Iraq is entertaining too. Not quite as good, but still, entertaining.
Yeah the last one with the soldiers on the ship going insane was infinitely more compelling than teens getting hashtag spooked hope they don't make the same mistake this time
Don't worry the youngest person in this one was probably the girl that got speared
Same here. I made so many mental notes to do some of my own reading after playing this myself.
@@hellocakeguy4084 if it was ancient Mesopotamia we wouldn’t have all of the great wmd sarcasm from Simon.
I love Simon with his snide political remarks and Tom fearing for his channel because of them 😂 aw heck, love those two
Great to see the ancient world that isn't just Egyptian for once. Not too familiar with the period but they looked to be some kind of Mesopotamian culture of sort.
Edit: oh they were Akkadian, literally said so in the video XD
What an early Christmas present, we are blessed today 🙏
It is HALLOWEEN! >:((
Bday present for me 😁
That moment at 16:46 where he sheaths his sword and extends his hand still holding it made me do a double take lol
I just know that Simon and Tom will love this one! Let's go fellow riddle students! Remember to get out your riddle bro's notebooks!
I come back to these videos every year or few months. Love it
Lmao, fucken loved Simon singing Danse Macabre at 20:25
God I loved Jonathan Creek as a wee lad

They all aim to be schlock movies intentionally at first, until at the end they tend to have a great twist.
@@Kleerofski451 I haven't seen all of this one but for me so far Until Dawn is the only one that's had a good twist so far (if it counts)

Nice sona. Looks handsome :P
Nice pfp, who's the artist?
I’m glad the lights are low, so we’re not blinded by those exquisite features of Chauncy.
*_IT'S TIME TO GET ANGORY WITH THE RETURN OF THE RIDDLE BROS, AND THE RE-DEBUT OF EDITOR JOSH!!_*
Thank you my boy! Hope you enjoy x
@@JoshGreenhalgh Any time, and I absolutely did!
He's better? joshchamp
@@JoshGreenhalgh You're the best, Josh.
I have been waiting for this ever since I found this game was out
What a pleasant surprise! Didn't even consider if you'd do this game or not, but so extremely happy to see it in among the new videos.
Any line of severed heads will always remind me of "Meet the Soldier"
Tom mood: one hand on controller, the other on the back of a sofa.
This is what I have looked forward to the most since their last Dark Pictures series. Amazing stuff!
I cannot express how much I hope the ending to this game is not yet another shitty "it's all in your head" cop-out
I hope so too.
Same, but to be honest, this game already looks better than the last one.
To be fair it felt earned and kind of cool in Man of Medan, Little Hope though was weird and cheap yeah - I doubt they'd do it a third time in a row too. I seem to remember hearing something a while ago about the creatures being real in this one but I guess we will see.
The real ending was the friends we made along the way
I have no doubt that I'll grow to despise this game the more they play it just as I have with all the others from this studio, but it's always a fun journey.
Honestly, this was the best opening out of all the other ones.
I am so happy that this is back, going to probably watch until dawn, man of medan, and little hope again over the weekend.
Yes! I've been waiting for more riddle bros action!
That "monster vision" jingle Tom came up with sounds like something a CEO would write.
ayo, I haven't watched Yogscasts content in so very long, this is the very first time in a long time I've been interested, welcome back Simon and Tom.
I just watched Lydia and Ravs play through this game and I must say this is definitely the best game in the Dark Pictures Anthology. I don't think it's as punishing as the previous games, but it does have a lot better plot, that is very different from the previous ones.
Does it maintain the whole "There was nothing supernatural the whole time!" shtick or is it finally good now?
Wait is this as good as Until Dawn? I might pick it up if that's the case
@@FilthyNobeard Let's just say there's a good reason for the characters to be afraid. It's good.
@@LovinTheSickBeat I preferred the characters of this game, and the pacing is really good.
@@I_THE_ME Ooooh? Well, you've got me excited now.
16:43 "We help each other" *sheathes sword, then immediately unsheathes sword*
I AM NOT YET MENTALLY PREPARED TO WATCH THIS BECAUSE IT’S LATE AND I’M TIRED BUT I’M VERY PSYCHED TO WATCH THIS, THE RETURN OF THE RIDDLE BROS!!!
I already can't wait for part 2. Love you riddle bros
I don't think I have ever seen a video's title and clicked this fast.
Riddle Bros all the way!!!
Yesssss was hoping riddle bros were going to play this! BAM!
Tom says this is the final game of The Dark Picture Anthology, but I'm pretty sure this is the 3rd of 8 planned games. I hope this isn't the last one Tom and Simon play together. 🥲
He said last as in the latest
@@GopherXxX He literally says "the 3rd and final installment of The Dark Pictures Anthology" right at the beginning.
@@chantichuu Yeah im dumb
I hope they spend a bit more time on the next ones if there are any, because the last few games have been increasingly more shonky in terms of animation and story. The character models are somehow WORSE than they were in Until Dawn as well.
I'm not sure I can accept a world in which they actually manage to make 8 of these things.
Have been looking forward to this video since its release. Id love to see Tom play Murder House with Simon
Lets freaking go. Best 45minutes of the year coming right up. (also I dont think this is the final instalment of the series. Read that there is 4th one coming next year)
thanks for being so prompt with this series. I was so excited to watch this as soon as I saw this game announced.
I have been waiting for them to do another one of these games they are such a good duo
OOOHHHHH MY GOOODDD
WELLLLLCOME BACK ❤️
and i was just getting ready to comment about how much we needed more of the riddle bros ;-;
RIDDLE BROOOS!!!!!!!!!! So happy this is happening wasn't sure if you two were gonna play this one together.
This intro makes me want a series where Tom and Simon just watch movies
The RIDDLE BROSOSSSS... I don't think I've felt so loved by youtube to be bless by this 🙏
Jimbo Jism, Big Money Hustler, Riddle Bun, and Wooden Boy are back at it again!
THE BOYS ARE BACK!!
As much as I enjoy these videos, I have not missed Tom blundering all the quick fire button presses again. I love the videos...
At this point he needs to remember that you can never be off your guard in these narrative games!
Just as I was losing all hope, you come to a rescue. Thank you Bros! :)
Game: quotes the book of Hosea, from the Bible...
Tom: Horsea! That's a pokemon!
Yes
Less than halfway through this vid and having seen Ravs ans Lydia"s play through, this game is definitely better using the coop, still always excited to see the riddle bros back! And excited to see more of the perspective I didn't get to see while watching Ravs
YAAS! I have been waiting for this!
yesss!!! its so exciting anytime there’s a riddle bros video 🤍🤍 missed u guys
YESSSSSS I had been saving Ravs and Lydia incase this came out! I'll still watch the VOD, just I'll watch it with you first
AWWW YES. I've been waiting for this! RIDDLE BROS LET'S GO!
*sees the riddle bois are continuing their saga* "... I mean there goes the plans I had for this afternoon"
🎶Oooooh my GOooOoOOOOD!🎶
🎵Ohhhh my god it's riiiiiidle bros!🎵
This 2 and scary game squad are always my favourites with horror games
Great to see more Tom and Simon!
Major spookums are guaranteed when the riddle bros are here
Yes a Tom n Simon Collab! Haven’t watch the video and already liked it
I love this, and I hope we get Riddle Bros content through into Jingle Jam!!
Also, House of Ashes may be an Edgar Allen Poe reference? (Fall of the House of Ashes). Won't spoil the story but it does have mentions of a plague and a tomb.
39:00 isn't the fact that she doesn't know the form number due to how she's CIA and not military?
THE RIDDLE BROS ARE BACK????? YESSSSSS1!!
My finger is on FIRE from clicking so damn fast. I would take THIS over anything else.
THEIR BACK! and i'm ready for it!
Yes! I was just rewatching your Little Hope playthrough, and hoping you'd do the next one!
YES
THIS IS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR
THIS IS WHY I DIDN'T WATCH ANYONE ELSE'S STUFF ON IT.
LET THE BEAUTY BEGIN
Rewatch the whole
Thing right now
It's like the origin story of Khorne
YES! I was waiting for this!!
For someone who doenst really follow any other Yogscast-member than Tom, I always love seeing Simon up in here! Great vid.
I littarly ran though the house screaming when i saw this video was out
Tom and Simon the true dream team!
oh dayymmm we backkkkk, hell yeah!
The boys are back in town
As much as I miss the old room I love the riddle bros return
i love the little budding bromance at 11:30 -ish
Wait, wwha- it's BACK!?!?!? My calendar must be wrong because it's clearly my birthday!!!!
I am willing to pay for you and Simon to play horror games on a regular, I demand DAILY SIMON UPLOADS!
"Simon always shows up at least an hour late and we have to edit around him whipping his knob out!"
"But the video gets ten times the views."
"Fair enough, how can we get Simon into more things?"
it's here!
The riddle bros are back and im so ready for it!
Rewatching the call of cthulu playthrough over and over wasn't at all getting old but im glad for new content

So good to have Chauncey back
This is so good omfg
Blessed be The Algorithm! It sings in the Spaces Between and brings back to us The Riddle Bro’s!

Holy shit, they are back
