@@krasistefanovlol it's really not. deja vu is when you get the nostalgic and overwhelming feeling of having been in that same situation before, for example when someone says something to you or you do something and it triggers it. It feels like it had happened before, and in most cases, it has or very simmilarly.
A passive effect of the fungus perhaps. It is apparently psychic, no? It may be keeping in as calm a state as possible while it eats the host alive. Scary stuff
I like how the doctor dude is joking to this random kid like he’s known him all his life while he is slowly devolving and explaining how. This dude has some guts.
I love the patients attitude like: “So yeah i was in unimaginable pain for a moment there huh, well nothing that a few sponge bones can’t fix am I right?”
They kind of explain why with the 3rd discovery (the primordial inhibitor). He says it limits his bodily and mental reactivity to meta-existential stimuli. Basically, the device is strong enough to stop people from freaking out / going mad while becoming an alien psychic life form, so it makes sense that they'd be a pretty disassociated.
Phalxxx it also seems to stop mutating in a way that life couldn't possibly sustain itself. It might be kind of important... Just a little. Maybe this is the real reason we haven't found other intelligent life. They didn’t have the inhibitor, so they all exploded to death upon conception... Huzzah, for science!
As a biologist, this game fascinates me (while still being unsettling). Edit: Yeah, fungi communicate through electrical signals, there's even a guy that put these signals through a synthesizer to make surreal songs. This game is a play on that, and I like it.
I might be wrong, but isn't it a scientific theory that fungi communicate with each other through their mycelium? It's an interesting idea to take that to the extreme, by having humans bond with fungi in order to make that same connection. Obviously it's a little different since the fungi isn't rooted, but still a curious idea.
The fact that the second after I clicked the like button, Mark went, "Ooh! You've found my like button," caught me _so_ off guard. Like I thought reality broke for a second there.
Especially when you take in consideration that "de-flowering" used to be a term for taking someone's virginity. Soooo, there's that piece of info you never wanted.
-"ego death" -"infinite pleasure and infinite pain" -dissolving into a panpsychical omniconsciousness -essentially becoming one with the universe is this guy body horror Bhudda?
The title “Discover My Body” seems to have a dual meaning; you’re discovering how a person changes and contorts, but it almost seems like a cry for help post-mortem; Discover my body. Discover what happened to me.
I thought it was the latter. Like it was a detective murder case and his ghost ask our help to find his dead body. And we found out how horrfiying his death. Well it's not kinda disappointed
I love how with this game, the sense of possible humor and horror come from the same place, that being the complete nonchalance of his reaction. The delivery in it of itself is rather funny, but at the same time the way he's so calm is what's unnerving.
“‘Oh how I miss her!’ ...Not anymoooooore! You’ve got her on your...leg!!!” 3:39 Also...the fact that you don’t get to see what he...or...it...looks like at the end? Blood-curdling.
I think it's the fact that his own human mind started unraveling at stage 2, so as he became they, his memories started to fade, so her image in his mind began to fade, which let the rest of "we" grow out
They get to be connected with everyone else, at the cost of feeling infinite pain and feeling their own death. They feel infinite pain at the end with the reward being they get to live every life that currently is connected with the fungus.
its only for lonely people as described society divided in to tow grups the ones who live together and the lonely the lonely want to be also in society but they dont fit in so they connect one another to the fungus mass and .. die
Lowkey the concept for someone rapidly forming into a new lifeform, hearing them say that they feel everything, experiencing death while alive, I haven't been disturbed by a horror concept in a long time but god damn that puts chills in my spine.
I watched raw gameplay footage of this before coming here and I can confirm this isn't all that funny, it's just horrifying on its own, markiplier is bringing all the funny here.
Due to the fungus being experimental, I assume that it's using these people's bodies as hosts, its mutating them horribly as a side effect to communicate, and spreading further, purposely forcing a calmness, possibly even overriding the brain of the host. The sequel thus far seems to also be hinting at the flowering process also being highly dangerous and malevolent, so yea
Dang... so you're saying, the people went through all that, just for an outcome they didn't know about/didn't desire? Cuz yeesh :( that's a lot of sacrifice to evolve only to be taken over by malicious mushrooms, darn
In all seriousness, this game was probably one of the most scarring games I have ever played, seeing that guy suffering,still teaching us about the flowering thing and dying in the process A truly amazing game.
When Mark suddenly becomes a pyramid scheme member at the end: “I can feel the PTB flowing! I’m about to ascend to the next level! .... GIVE ME YOUR WALLET!”
damn!... this reminds me so much of the movie altured states where a man dives so deep into genetic history that he begins to sever the bonds that chain him to his humanity, and our world as a whole, i highly rcomend it for those of you into sci fi and the infinite possibilities hidden by time and dna.
This game gives me the same sort of feeling a Junji Ito novel does, the juxtaposition of the awful, horrific things people do or go through, and how normal or mundane it's treated by the characters before it gets REALLY fucky towards the end, serious Uzumaki or Amigara Fault vibes, at least to me
this was amazing. the entire feeling around this experience was so eerie and unsettling. the patient’s calmness throughout the whole procedure made it feel like becoming a host was inevitable and he had no say in the matter. it was as if he were trying to convince *himself* that everything was fine as opposed to the player. something about that is so upsetting, and i adore it for that reason.
Makes me think about all the people in this fictional universe that might have not understood what they were getting into at the time..."hold on, I've changed my mind actually this is horrible can I go back"
Beatrice Cunningham exactly! maybe they were so certain that all the pain would pay off in the end, and that theyd somehow reach enlightenment. but as the end neared, regrets and doubts began to form until all they desired was the release of death. its chilling.
Polina Tkachenko essentially his brain did not become tiny that was some machine or something that blocked whatever was stopping humans from evolving so he was disfigured because he was evolving in ways humans were never meant to to become part of a hive mind so that he can feel what every human in the world is feeling and he has the thoughts that every human is having
@Polina Tkachenko i think the injection, the psychic fungi just rearrange your body at first, then it started to decomposize your body parts until your mind finally become one with it (and join with the others that have undergoes the flowering). the dude gets disfigured in the middle of the proccess because to become one with the fungi, you need to give up your primal evolutionary parts (basically almost everything in your body). or else the body can't handle the experience it receives when gaining new "senses" and "insights". the fungi only rearranges and/or absorb what's neccesary and discard what's not (like the hands, legs, etc.). this game is based on lovecraftian/eldritch horrors, mixed with experiential epystemology so i assume this was the case
This is such an unsettling masterpiece of a short horror game, I cannot put it into words. It's so terrifying, and the most scariest thing is how normal the protagonist makes it seem, he seems too calm. You can tell that this game really stuck with mark, as I believe he referenced it in a recent video, nearly 2 years after playing it.
Not how calm he is, buy how HAPPY he seems to be voluntarily doing this to himself. Like, he's somehow manipulated to desire this horrible procedure of slow, unbelievable painfull death and voluntary decomposition of his body, is what makes it horrible for me. It's not meant to jumpscare you, it's meant to traumatize you.
"Sorry, just experienced a bit of Ego Death for a moment there" is the funniest thing I've heard all day. The idea of just a little bit of ego death is so ridiculous
3:20 That line about what it draws from is interesting, because none of those are positive. Like Terry Pratchett said, "Someone set out to make dreams come true. Remember some of your dreams?"
I don't think it ever specifies that he ever gives the wallet back or pauses to allow the student to do so...he only spits out his teeth and then resumes... The whole procedure being a convoluted mugging is now canon.
Coming back to this video, this game really is an amazing and unique horror game. And the fact that the character doing the flowering did it to feel connected and be happy, most likely from a place of loneliness, makes it all the more disturbing
So I put it on full screen mode and I couldn’t see him and I will put my face closer to see if he was hiding and I got so scared I dropped it and fell off the bed
“Did it work? Did I scare you?” Me: “Nope. No scares here.” *”If it didn’t scare you, i’ll be very, very upset”* Me: *”Yes it did scare me it scared me so much-“*
Kaede Akamatsu oh hey kaede I cannot put into words about how grateful I am to find my second favorite danganronpa protagonist in the middle of all this suffering
This has got to be one of my favourite markiplier videos. The game was horrifying, mark was just hilarious (especially the end), and lixians editing is just perfect.
This feels like a very weird metaphor for drug addiction, this fellow is so lonely and disconnected that they underwent a drastic surgical procedure to become a horrific fungus creature, all so they could feel connected to something, feel anything. Much like in the absence of any support in traumatic life situations, many people seek out psychoactive drugs to feel pleasure, even if it leads to their death.
Cool opinion. Sure seems you put some thought into it! Though, it sounds wayyy too close to real life, with how people always want to be close but sometimes can’t.
that guy be like, "oh yeah i am dying but whatever continue examinating at my deforming body and hear my mortal phrases expressing the pain i am currently undergoing."
Well as of now you would never understand because my brain capacity is so much bigger than anyone else on this thing we call earth and that means only i would understand what i said because im intellectual, and if u didnt understand that i will make it easy for u i have big brain

Watching this from quarantine, and having a great time doing it. I was an introvert anyways, so it's not like I was planning on doing anything different.
That guy was already part of the hive mind when the game started. He was probably "snagged" while he was witnessing other Flowerings. He just didn't know it yet, any more than an insect knows when a zombie-parasite takes control of it. Perhaps you too have been snagged by witnessing.
Everything about the Primordial Inhibitor scares the SHIT out of me. Its as if this "Flowering" is something so horrible and eldritch, it should NEVER be done to the Human body, let alone ANY living being.
I often find myself in situations where if there is something particularly funny that I find too amusing I become forgetful and neglect the laughter that is mandatory to follow suit after a joke has been told.
Every time Mark describes a small brain as a "Hee-Hoo" brain, Hee-Hoo curses him from his grave in Oxygen Not Included Edit: I originally put Don't Starve by accident
@@thiccgatorboi6136 This grave. That grave. It hardly matters. They're all dead. Dead af. Because Mark is a cruel and slightly incompetent god. (And yes it was Oxygen not Included)

Honestly with the lore of that universe, you might as well play it ALL the time.
Mark: "If I didn't scare you, I'd be very upset"
Me: "Go cry, ya big baby"
NayDay what is that gold heart in your name is that an emoji?
Brazy Benjamin it’s for being a member
lol there's something like flowering in a manga called Hell's Paradise just like this game
Mark: "If I didn't scare u, I'd be very upset"
Me: "If I was scared, I'd be very upset"
"I believe that's my mother’s face on my shin.”
Oh aight.
Very uncomfortable to have shin as my name now. That's just... Eugh
Imagine if the game really did end with the wallet and it was just a super convoluted mugging
Just goddamn finessed
I don't think it ever specifies that he ever gives the wallet back or pauses to allow the student to do so...he only spits out his teeth and then resumes...
The whole procedure being a convoluted mugging is now canon.
"Did I scare you?"
No Mark, I was reading the description.
Same 😂
Wait, people read the description?
@@guyfawkes3940 yes people do
Same lmaaaooo
I was eating dinner myself. I actually rewound to see if he could scare me when i was paying attention.
Not bad.
"It is tiny, it is teeny tiny, and I don't seem to have a way to- IT IS LITERALLY TINY. OMG is this really it? It's so tiny!"
Ouch, just... ouch
I genuinely felt attacked lol
That’s what she said!

Mark i highly suggest you play "World of Horror" i would absolutly LOVE to see you play that game.
God yes please. I live for this body horror shit, and that game has plenty of it plus all that good old school rpg style play.
I'd say he's probably waiting till there's more content for it, but he does so many demos and straight-up unfinished games already, so I dunno.
This please.
Everybody shout at Mark so he sees this person and their fucking brilliant suggestion.
Yeah should
5:42 got me so hard XD “Aha! You’ve discovered the primordial inhibitor.” “Of course I have, you daft bastard!”
"Guess I´ll just keep biting down on my wallet and hope for change."
umm.. sir was the pun intended?
I laughed way too hard when he said that. I love a good/bad pun!
@@RivkahSong I love puns too😂
Am I going insane or did he erase his teeth while he said that

I find it so wholesome whenever he "interacts" with Lixian. It always makes me smile^^ You're my favorite editor, Lixian!
Coming back to this video, this game really is an amazing and unique horror game. And the fact that the character doing the flowering did it to feel connected and be happy, most likely from a place of loneliness, makes it all the more disturbing
I feel like he started regretting it near the end too, but still holds onto the hope that maybe, just maybe after the end there is something better.
*Aha! It seems you have discovered my rotting bones!*
The Order awaits
"It is tiny, it is teeny tiny, and I don't seem to have a way to- IT IS LITERALLY TINY. OMG is this really it? It's so tiny!"

I'm sure we all are

Hearing the words "HEE HOO" hits different now…
You can even say... Mark indeed decided to stick with a little tiny Hee Hoo brain 😂
"Did it work? Did it scare you?"
Me minding my own business reading the comments: "huh?"
So I put it on full screen mode and I couldn’t see him and I will put my face closer to see if he was hiding and I got so scared I dropped it and fell off the bed
“Did it work? Did I scare you?”
Me: “Nope. No scares here.”
*”If it didn’t scare you, i’ll be very, very upset”*
Me: *”Yes it did scare me it scared me so much-“*

This is exactly what I did lmao

This has got to be one of my favourite markiplier videos. The game was horrifying, mark was just hilarious (especially the end), and lixians editing is just perfect.
3:28 is basically the perfect combination of bizarre game prompt, funny reaction, and spot-on editing. I really like this vid as well.
Mark:"boo!"
Me: isn't scared
*Mark's camera focuses:* "did it work?"
Me: *falls out of chair*

This feels like a very weird metaphor for drug addiction, this fellow is so lonely and disconnected that they underwent a drastic surgical procedure to become a horrific fungus creature, all so they could feel connected to something, feel anything. Much like in the absence of any support in traumatic life situations, many people seek out psychoactive drugs to feel pleasure, even if it leads to their death.
@Hassan Akhtar Ok.
Nice idea, but nah, I personally don't think what's going on here.
Cool opinion. Sure seems you put some thought into it! Though, it sounds wayyy too close to real life, with how people always want to be close but sometimes can’t.
*My mind is open.*
@@raionshishi8290 What's your take on the fungusman?
The Relationship Between Lixian and Markiplier is amazing and so wholesome.
The relationship between Markiplier and you is quite the treat as well Ben

came to rewatch this video after todays "Analogue Horror" (20.01.2022) and, yes mark, the scare in the beginning worked.
12:40 When Markiplier likes something:
"Keep making *shit* "
This is fascinating and horrifying at the same time and I can't truly explain how repulsed yet intrigued I am
First time I’ve seen a comment that’s about the content in the video lol
I might be small brain cause I had 0 reaction to this. I just kinda sat there as some guy became something else
M Roman understandable. You want a summary?
Yeah, I hear ya on that one
" I GUESS I WILL JUST KEEP BITING DOWN ON MY WALLET AND HOPE FOR *CHANGE* "
No pun intended.
Squelkie Slushi Sureeeeeeeeeee
understandable, have a nice day.
The level of discomfort in this video combined with the editing is so beautifully done
Mark: THIS GAME MADE ME UNCOMFORTABLE
Game: What'd you expect from the title???
XD
I have never seen a "premiere" and I'm so confused
I agree
It's a live play of a prerecorded video. I like them. I find it fun to see video right when it comes out.
@@juliansedor7101 - What... in the world is the point of that..? Lower quality, inability to skip ahead. Hooray.
Cuz ur dumb lol
@Callum Robertson I guess I've just never gotten the notification for one. Or maybe they've all happened while I was busy
that guy be like, "oh yeah i am dying but whatever continue examinating at my deforming body and hear my mortal phrases expressing the pain i am currently undergoing."

"Let's inspect the junkie wunkie uwulululu" - Markiplier
he also said necky wecky and that makes me more uncomfortable than this game does
Stop i scrolled on this comment right as he was saying that
The first 16 seconds of this video is like a child trying to scare you and you’re just like “aaahh oh no i almost DiEd”
I legit got scared lol
Basically x3
7:22 is a good reaction pic
Same with 3:37

He never said that. You just English teacher reading a poem'd that out of nowhere
@@cyvenfx7271 Yes, he didn't say "psychologically"
That guy was already part of the hive mind when the game started. He was probably "snagged" while he was witnessing other Flowerings. He just didn't know it yet, any more than an insect knows when a zombie-parasite takes control of it.
Perhaps you too have been snagged by witnessing.
