Realtor friends, do not go around reading weird notes! But really, I had never seen a game that used notes so effectively. I'm really impressed by how they turned them into a game mechanic. I love stories about houses that keep changing, because they are so disorienting and unsettling, but when the real story behind it was revealed, it just hit hard. I was left speechless, it's such a well executed game on a subject that is a real life horror that feels so close right now.
Not going to lie, I feel the need to make a bunch of unsettling notes. and leave them all around the houses of my sister, mother and wife, then go fishing for the weekend...... Actually I better not knowing those 3 they will have Seal Team Six and Delta Force out looking for me by Sunday!
@@DustinBarlow8P I know this is an old comment but it's on my bucket list to explore an abandoned building and leave mysterious notes and "diary entries" scattered around telling the story of a missing person 😂
@@WhitneyDahlin I saw a cave exploration video recently where someone had set up a very believable dummy in a shadowy corner. The explorer guy was seriously pissed off about it!
This game felt like a cautionary tale in view of what's currently happening in Ukraine. The message, "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it," came through loud and clear. The use of notes to move the game forward through an ever-changing map made it compelling to uncover that message and the story of the Holodomor genocide. All-in-all, it was well-done, imo. Thank you for reading all the notes, Chris--I hope you had a hot cuppa with honey and lemon afterward to soothe your throat.
@@jamiemcintosh3030 That depends on your point of view. Since 2006, it's officially considered as genocide by 16 UN countries and Vatican City, including the US, Canada, and Australia. Several other countries and international organizations consider it a crime against humanity perpetrated by Stalin's regime but, so far, don't classify it as genocide.
@@Scriptor13 Well, in Ukrainian SSR the rulers were ukrainians. My grangrandparents told that ukrainian political rulers made a hunger. In Ukraine we love fakes and lies, for us na***sts are great heroes who fought against Stalin🤷♀️ Modern ukrainian children have no idea that Bandera k****d thousands of "wrong" ukrainians. Bandera is a hero now, his portrait may be seen in Governmental buildings. Did UN or any other World Community condemned na***sts of Ukraine? Nope))) I don't trust lies and liers.
I really enjoyed this, it was a clever game mechanic to explore a very dark subject. I recognised the girl in the video thumbnail as the holodomor memorial in Kyiv (there have been a couple of news articles about it recently) so I guessed where the game was going but it was an intriguing exploration of the subject. Thank you for another great video!
Excellent, really enjoyed it. It's always great to see how devs tackle difficult, painful and true/historical themes, while still making a good game. I do have a little counter to CJU's "too much reading" complaint; that seems to be more of an issue for a YT-er who, by nature of his profession, is 'required' to read notes and such _out loud_ , than a failure of game mechanics. Especially since the majority of the notes were quite short, they all contained (mechanical) progression triggers, and many were story progression. OK, granted, for those "I don't read squat" gamers, it was too much, since progression depended on it, but everything is not for everyone. I did appreciate that the notes were very well written, though, as well as the balance of the game as a whole. The threat/chase sections were good, and just often and long enough to retain interest while slowly revealing the horror of the real historical event at its core. So I had an enjoyable experience, and I learned something that I heretofore knew nothing about. Can't go wrong with that! Thanks for playing and sharing, CJU!
Loved the way the game went about educating us this event. As someone who doesn’t know that much about it, it got me wanting to research and know more about it! I think the bundle was a great purchase and I would love to see more from it!
There are so much lies about that. I know for sure that in my Ukrainian SSR ruled ukrainians. And I know my people, they destroy their own citizens easily. For example, Odessa 5 May 2014. Burnt people alive. Blamed Russia. Classic.
Focusing on the invisible monster that moves when you're not looking? Is anyone else getting some seriously Dark Decadence flashbacks right about now? Or is it just me? But hey at least you don't have to worry about soul shards here.
I love games where you have to read a lot. I know it's hard on your voice, but I think it makes an especially great video. Viewers don't have to read since you do the voice acting for us! Thank you, Chris!
I agree with evertything you said about the game. Loved the ever changing house, the use of the notes to change it; it was a really interesting way to present the history, to narrate the story, even a just little part of it, of the genocide. As an aside, I also really liked the way to ghosts were handled in the game, beautifully subtle. Thank you for playing this, a sad, and terrible, piece of history.
Gods, I got goosebumps as you read that letter about the family with the "missing" little boy, and daughter passing from hunger as the mom was too weak to find her. Besides being a really good game, it was so impactful as it was told, you're a great reader aloud too, Chris. Thanks for playing this ♥
_Tbh i'm not a fan of games where we have to read a lot, but I like it when you play them._ 🤭 *_Thanks again for 1 hour of fun CJU._* #IndieGames #Korpus
The idea of a survival horror that largely consists of reading notes seems like it would be incredibly boring, but this game was great in its execution and pacing. It really worked for this game, and there was actually tension and a few scares. The subject matter was also quite timely. :/ Thank you for playing through this Chris.
This game was good. I like when they put history in it, I never heard of this famine before. It's truly horrying, I could never imagine going through that.
The slow realization of what the game's meaning is. Damn. I admit I don't know a whole lot about the holodomor other than surface level knowledge of it being a genocide. But it has piqued my interest to learn more about it, so thanks!
I liked it a lot when I played it, though I think the chase scenes were maybe too long and difficult. Also I felt like the intro story and the main story didn't really mesh up at all. there didn't really need to be the housing set up and it never really paid off.
Thank u so much for your game playing xx I got coved right now so I am in bed watching you 😊 help me get though this I know for a fact I will be having a cju night !!! Thank u 💓
Interesting story dealing with a dark subject matter. I think that was a field of grain at the end, to contrast with the lack of food earlier. Perhaps symbolizing the end of the famine.
It was dark subject matter but I felt like it was portrayed very well with this game. I didn't know about that dark history and I liked being informed on it at the end. My heart goes out to all of Ukraine during this time even prior to watching this fabulous game. Thank you Chris for the upload. I enjoyed it and even though you had to read alot, I loved how things shifted while you read them 🙂
Where was you heart when ukrainian army sent bombs into beach with thousands of children and their parents, just for fun? Oh, american propaganda didn't tell you, oh... Don't worry. My ukrainian people also don't know these facts even they happened in their own country. If something wasn't told by someone on TV or at social media - that didn't happen. They don't watch any other sources than pro-nazi.
An excellent game on a very tough and important subject. It's particularly disturbing in light of the current war of aggression that Russia is perpetrating against Ukraine.
I've heard of horror stories about this very 'situation' for a lack of better term. I just couldn't believe it. I just thought they were stories made up to scare people. I didn't realise how real they were.
I'm of two minds on this one. On the one hand, it does an absolutely phenomenal job covering a forgotten part of history in which Russia committed genocide against the people of Ukraine (if that sounds topical, well... the more things change, the more they stay the same). The writing, the atmosphere, the level design, the way they changed the level while you were reading notes, this game DEFINES the concept of doing more with less. The pacing, on the other hand... it does feel like it took a LONG time to get where it was going and some sections of the game stretched out far longer than they needed to.
Horrid reality but Devs did a fantastic job. I appreciate games that use truth/fact as a basis, yet still add fantasy horror elements. It's a shame that "Big Red" is still bullying Ukraine. Almost as if history is destined to repeat itself until the misuse of power stops.
A very sad thing the famine in 1932-33 was caused by a sudden heatwave and drought in 1931. All while Stalin was collectivising agriculture in the Ukrainian S.S.R. and displacing the kulaks (the wealthy petit-bourgeoisie peasantry) from their privileged place in society they had enjoyed since the implication of the New Economic Plan. The kulaks in rage butchered all their animals, burned their crops, and destroyed their farm machinery to prevent them from being collectivised. The famine also affected the Lower Volga region of the Russian S.S.R., and the western Kazakh S.S.R. The photos normally associated with the "Holodomor" are of a famine, but of a famine that occurred in 1921 afflicting the same areas. The hunger killed about 3 or 4 millions Ukrainians. Rest in Peace. The facts of the "Holodomor" was either grossly exaggerated or made up by reports of the William Randolph Hearst newspaper empire. An American tycoon who was a fervent supporter of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. The journalist Gareth Jones had a supper with Joseph Goebbels before his trip in to Russia, and he never went close to the Ukrainian S.S.R. The central government in Moskva didn't hear about the destitution at first due to extremely poor communication links to the rest of the U.S.S.R. It had been only 12 years since the end of the Russian Civil War and Intervention. When they did hear, though, the official in charge of agriculture was sacked and all available grain was diverted and shipped in to the desperate areas. Rest in Peace.
@@jamiemcintosh3030 sadly, but most brainwashed zombies won't read this. Simple formula "Russia is bad" is more simpler than real history. As ukrainian I know how history was rewritten, 99% of ukrainian population is poor educated zombies who taught to hate russians. Sadly, but lies rule the world.
Hey thanks for making this and attracting attention by your own means. Long time viewer it actually means a lot given circumstances. Double thumbs by figuring out how to not be political about it. I seldom check back to see if there's a response because I'm a nobody. So please don't feel obligated to respond.
I'm surpised this game was made by guys from Finland from what I see in the credits. Good touch on the subject. As for the game it make a good effort to tell about such a gruesome part of Soviet history and in my opinion it did very well. It gave rights both for the victims, the view of perpatrators (in some extent) and, what I think it's most appreciated - the memory about the events hidden by the journalist and digged up by the proffesor. I will only add my personal thoughts. There are two recognized schools on how to approach the Holodomor. Is it a question of genocide to kill as many ukrainians as Stalin wished or a crime against humanity like bombing Hiroshima, Atlantic slave trade or Soviet Great Purge. I'm personaly in favor of the school that it was a crime against humanity brought to people by Stalin's idiotic and unforgiving economic policy that cause millions to starve and forever associate communism stereotypes with hunger.
@@tyfyh622 I do read a lot. And I didn't said that Holodomor didn't existed I just don't say it was a genocide. And even Wikipedia, as you have mention it, have a whole page called "Holodomor genocide question". I also do have some points why I see it as a crime against humanity and not a proper, scientifically labeled, genocide but I don't see a reason to discuss it under the game. I have just given my personal thought about this.
@@BASSOSOVIETICO1987 your personal thought? - Based on what? I don't want to know what books you read if they didn't have a simple natural cause + unkulakization in them. And you're being an idiot if you think that this only happened to ukraine people, which cancels all the notion of genocide, if simple logic isn't proof enough. Do please humor me and read about other nations who lost up to 40% of the whole population and then go cry that ukraine got the worst of it. or don't. I don't care. Just don't spread fakes
Yep, especially during WW2 when Western Ukraine was collaborating nazists and killed thousands of "wrong" ukrainians. They are heroes (nazists) nowadays. It's sad how our minds are f***up.
