Why do I have the feeling that if John ever gets into a spooky situation in real life he'll be like "Oh, this reminds me of this game." Gets out and is the sole survivor. 😂😂😂
some of my favorite parts of this video: "r o c k s" 6:04 "WUAAHHHAAHA!" 9:08 "that was me - sorry, i'm really clumsy, guys. oops. sorry. excuse me. i apologize." 18:56 "I WANNA GET GOT" 24:57 *serious hubert slander and backtracking* 27:53 "the screwdriver needs to be burped!" 26:15 "I nEeD mY tOoLs" 26:38 "if it's harmonizing with itself, it's a monster." *ungodly screaming continues in the distance* 37:54 *monsters doing the wiggly* 44:16 but my most favorite part of the video was when john confidently followed a naked man through a bathroom with a camera ready in hand 41:57 all jokes aside, i really enjoyed watching this playthrough! the game looks really beautiful as john stated before in the video and for it to be made by a solo developer is amazing. so much thought and effort was put into it and the topic the game is based on seems to obviously be very personal and sensitive to the maker, so i really am looking forward to future updates.
Fun fact: corpses can actually pose an electrical hazard, one of the things you have to be aware of as a mortician/embalmer is whether the person you're working on has a pacemaker, because if it wasn't turned off by the people who did the autopsy/at the hospital you can electrocute yourself on it! (my professors tip was: if you aren't certain, run the magnet that turns it off over the chest anyway, just to be safe)
Yeah, as soon as it happened I was shocked how accurate it was to anxiety breakdown mode vision. Never thought I could see it so accurate reproduced. I think the flashing lights / dimness helped a lot too, my vision tends to fade in and out from darkness when I'm freaking.
Real talk, I respect John so much for his flashing light/ trigger warnings. So many youtubers like to flippantly disregard heavy traumatic themes in games and make fun of trigger warnings. Its nice to see someone who respects people and their trauma. Cool stuff, John
I used to try to watch Kubz Scouts but he constantly used this loud obnoxious like gunshot bang sound effect in his like cutaways. I have hardcore ptsd and noticed it was a problem others were also having. Eventually tried to contact him I was very very respectful and polite about it. Not pushy or rude at all. Explained the situation to him in detail and would have just hoped it may be used less or quieted or changed for anything else. I know he read it due to the platform it was sent on saying so. He never replied and never changed it. Sadly had to stop watching him due to it. Not that I didn't want to continue watching his videos but I need the audio in TH-cam videos for comfort sake so I just had no choice but to stop watching him. I am very thankful for TH-camrs who are considerate enough for accessibility concerns to be addressed like John or Kravin. Thanks to them both.
I understand your reasoning, but with this being a horror game I would probably stay away from it if I had a disorder like PTSD until I recovered, but that's just me.
@@theworldwhosoldtheman9906 I get that... but some horror games are comical or deal with regular monsters So sometimes you think you're going into something lighthearted or as in the case with John's channel silly and suddenly you're smacked out of left field with real life issues. Its always nice to have a little warning so a person can decide if theyre gonna skip a video or series. Not trying to start an argument or anything.
Man, this game is really good. I like it. Has a lot of subtle creeps here and there. The ambient noises in the background, noticing something peeking at you from a distance then leaving or seeing something entering a room as you exit. Gives off the feeling of being stalked. It's creepy and doesn't overly rely on the usual jumpscares with loud audio queues most games tend to. I guess you touched on these points already though.
Best thing yet, it subverts your expectations, and actually plans the scares very well, unlike other developers that think jump scares here and there will make their game good.
This guy would probably just need a few years of game developing and horror experimentation to create a game to rival P.T. Was anyone else absolutely blown away at how well the lighting was done? This man has a vision. We need to support him; he might become the Stephen King of horror games one day.
It's not that fucking great lol.. it's medicine and hopefully several years min he will learn to do a bit better . Music and story just as strong as lighting.
This whole game is a bad trip, and I love it. The slightly shifting visuals, the general uncertainty of everything, the strange echoes and drones in the background...it's very well executed and I just want more of it. Always happy to see you play games like this.
This is seriously some awesome work. From setting the scene, to overall sound quality, to all the little visual details, such a breath of fresh air in indie games. This dev truly has a future in game development.
ADAM LOST MEMORIES developer dont get depressed because of peoples criticism, i like the Whole way you went with mental Abuse, is a very cool and unique game of its own, dont worry because of critics, they tend to always compare OTHERS passions with OTHERS projects, but if John like it and enjoy it, despite playing a 100000 horror games, i definitely do as well, good luck with your project i sure wish to see more in the future. Even if this drowns in the comments, i sure tried to get this out there. Devs who try deserve more love than criticism they get, afterall someone happy works better than someone sad.
@@houndrysmagolyteofhope4661 It stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration. It means the area in the game is not safe for workers. I didn't just get r/woooosh-ed did I...
Something that blows me awaay is how they really tastefully pulled off the "Layers of Fear" trick. Rather than crazily overdoing it (like Layers of Fear,) they used it as a trick in random areas to confuse the player. Definitely overall a fantastic horror experience.
@@hunters0922 you're welcome...? Am I not allowed to comment an opinion that aligns with the person in the video? With that logic, seems about 70% of TH-cam comments shouldn't exist. Also I wrote this comment before I completed the video fwiw.
Please John do the second part of this game as you promised. The game was out of early access about a year ago that would be a shame if we do not see the second part of it. Because the game is pretty good for what it is
all those little details like the figure passing far down the hall, or the head looking at you around the corner remind of those popular 'Scary ghosts caught on camera' videos. i love those and i really enjoyed the way you immersed yourself in this one john. great video!
Really enjoyed how subtle the horror elements were! they're always better when you actually doubt for a second that you're seeing a thing on screen. The big head barely visible behind the bars and the arm in the corridor...that's super good. This guy knows what he's doing.
Yes, his full name is Herbert George Wells. Book Publishers suggested him to shorten it as it would be easier to remember when people went out to buy books. Plus printing out that full name all of the time would cost some major money on covers.
This game is now complete! Please finish it 🙏 I'm desperate to know about how this game progresses but I'm too poor to buy it and almost every other TH-camr annoys the shit out of me lol
If you get a chance look into Love, Sam its a really good indie game Edit: Just finished watching Adam:Lost Memories legitimately one of the most well-done "Spooky hallway" horror games I have seen in a long while, similar vain to Penumbra games
LMFAO at 38:10. I feel your pain and also your satisfaction knowing you still have the item you used. I, too hate it when items used get tossed away until I came to the realization that your character just consumes them like a snack since they disappear from your inventory and the area around you.
Hey! I'm Adam from the game. You was the first person to my knowledge to notice that. I'm really glad, because I have put so much effort in such things. Thank you very much!
@@adamdubigames That was a nice easter egg you threw in there :) I hope you get the support & backing you need to keep adding more content to the game!
Nobody Important Thank you so much! It is not really an easter egg, because it’s all over in the game. As you play it, you walking trough my inner soul, so thats why.
I feel like in the game you are going through his mind. The monsters could be a distorted image of his family. The warehouse John goes in at 13:04 could be symbolic of cluttered thoughts, maybe? And the morgue and corpse he finds at some point could be thoughts of death?
I really appreciated the subtle scares and atmosphere. Also enjoy that the story isn’t totally in your face like it pops up every once in a while and you can kind of figure out what’s going on.
Anyone or anyghost would waste their time if they trap us meganes lol... if we want to avoid getting jumpscared we'd just take off our glasses & get on solving everything slowly.
@gamewizard I Yeah. He kinda made it too cryptic and vague. My family life's been rough too, but even I was having trouble understanding the context. Like, making connections between what was on-screen and what it represents IRL.
It really feels like the only way its related to a broken home is the mental health feature. Other than that, i dont see it. The dev was just trying to be deep and artsy imo
I just can't stop watching and rewatching John crap himself at the camera light part. Oh, I just love watching these well done games, it's like having someone crap their pants for you.
Your cynical attitude towards games and those viewers who feel the need to point out the obvious is wonderful and it makes me happy, because that is often how I feel, myself. Thanks for expressing yourself instead of trying to live up to the expectations set by others! You make me happy, keep being you!
This is pretty impressive so far. It's also just nice to see a game that understands that effective horror is subtle; something in the corner of your eye, or just creepy noises in the background. I'm looking forward to the next part.
It’s amazing how much great scares can do for a game like this. I feel like I’ve seen this exact type of game a hundred times and yet this is one of the most frightening things I’ve ever seen John play. The arm reaching in through the door made my heart drop.
So i have watched Neco The Sergal play, then MrKravin and now you play this game. Each time there was a significant amount of updates to make the game play better and longer. Its really incredible to see so much work being put into this, cant wait for more!
Just wanted to say thank you, John, for taking care of the first part of the video! I know it might be something normal to you, to fix issues with the video, but spending hours on it just to deliver us quality is really a reason why I prefer your channel over others. I noticed some small hiccups here and there but you fixed it so well, the frame rate didnt bother me at all. So great job! :D
16:30 @John Wolfe Nah, the people who ask when the next SallyFace chapter would eventually embark on a quest to find you just to ask when the next chapter is.
I LMFAO @ 14:36 when you hit that dark hallway and exclaimed "Oh UhUh" at that same moment I literally said yelled NOPE at my tv. Glad we are on the same page. I would have tried to turn right back around too lol. Also, this game gives me Vaporium vibes, which I love.
Amazing atmosphere and aesthetics for a single developer! I loved it and of course the camera room made me jump out of my skin. I can't wait for the next release!
Ready for this!! And I wasn't ready for this. I actually got scared multiple times in this games and that's rare for me. Also, some of those walls creeped me out.
I'm only about 40 minutes in and I'm really enjoying the subtle appearances of the monster as opposed to them suddenly being in your face and dying. 44:08 for some rare john jumpscares
I have to say, this game and you synergized quite well and I felt a lot of enjoyment here. This game seems worth getting and I like the slow approach of building up atmosphere, playing some simple yet effective mind tricks and keeping the game all in all, besides the backtracking, fresh enough, to constantly give me feeling of uneasiness and anxiety. A great catch, John. Thanks to the developer as well and I am wishing him the best of luck, support and patience to finish this project.
I quite like the atmosphere in this! It didn't really matter what area you went to, I was still spooked out. It felt like no place was safe there Also, that jumpscare was really good, hahaha, I was really not expecting that!
Actually, I'm getting Quake 1 and 2 vibe from this game when it comes to the environmental design ( you know, all the pipes, and the warehouse and whatnot? )
@@anastasiadzincioloski4911 ikr i hope it's hinted at in the story maybe a death of a friend/family or his own death and he's just reliving a nightmarish loop
Growing up in a family falling apart can make normal childhood pursuits/behaviors feel like a crime. At least to the child trying to navigate their broken environment.
It's some solid stuff. I can see the Amnesia/Silent Hill influences (and a subtle nod to Cry of Fear), but I also appreciate that they're _influences,_ not rips of mechanics, maps and models. It's a breath of fresh air, truly. I may have to pick it up myself when it comes out.
I've been watching John's videos for 4 years now, and during this playthrough I saw John actually emit fear, like I have never really seen in any of his content before or at least in quite a long while
This is by far the most amazing and most well designed indie horror game ive seen in my life, its been made by only 1 person too. Absolutely incredible and pure talent, the layout and how things are placed and the factory and metal design is exceptionally good, it gives such great vibes of doom 3 too. Truly masterpiece here.
Wow! This game was incredible. Also, I think the amount of backtracking is neatly placed in a way that makes it an enjoyable experience! Super freaky with the "peeking" entities and stalking lost souls. Awesome game!
I don't 'like' videos normally. But that part, when that creature, was peeking from around the corner,.. gave me goosebumps and I just had to smash that like button lmao

Gamers are probably more likely to survive in any horror situation.
He says in this video though that he'd die of starvation because he would just stay where he was.
some of my favorite parts of this video:
"r o c k s" 6:04
"WUAAHHHAAHA!" 9:08
"that was me - sorry, i'm really clumsy, guys. oops. sorry. excuse me. i apologize." 18:56
"I WANNA GET GOT" 24:57
*serious hubert slander and backtracking* 27:53
"the screwdriver needs to be burped!" 26:15

"if it's harmonizing with itself, it's a monster." *ungodly screaming continues in the distance* 37:54
*monsters doing the wiggly* 44:16
but my most favorite part of the video was when john confidently followed a naked man through a bathroom with a camera ready in hand 41:57
all jokes aside, i really enjoyed watching this playthrough! the game looks really beautiful as john stated before in the video and for it to be made by a solo developer is amazing. so much thought and effort was put into it and the topic the game is based on seems to obviously be very personal and sensitive to the maker, so i really am looking forward to future updates.
And the fleshy walls
This is a fine collection of highlights. Hearing something unseen harmonize with itself is never a good sign.

Fun fact: corpses can actually pose an electrical hazard, one of the things you have to be aware of as a mortician/embalmer is whether the person you're working on has a pacemaker, because if it wasn't turned off by the people who did the autopsy/at the hospital you can electrocute yourself on it!

The shakey vision part is exactly what happens to my eyesight when I'm in full on anxiety mode.
Yeah, as soon as it happened I was shocked how accurate it was to anxiety breakdown mode vision. Never thought I could see it so accurate reproduced. I think the flashing lights / dimness helped a lot too, my vision tends to fade in and out from darkness when I'm freaking.
Can you tell which part? I have epilepsy and I always skip those kind of scenes like flashing lights
That sounds horrible to live by :( i'm glad this game has brought up the message well though
Hello World It happens every 2-3 minutes. His vision just becomes slightly shaky and distorted
I feel bad for you then, when I get anxiety it's..normal? I don't really know what's normal about anxiety?

I see the lower half of a face.
I saw dinosaurs.
So two skulls ready to high five is considered chaotic good one?

Seeing John flinch at something spooky is so refreshing. It gives me hope that horror might not be completely dead.
It's always a rare treat watching John play something he enjoys.
There were more times something was watching you from the corner, than that one time John noticed. Good game man. Subtle and creepy.
So i have watched Neco The Sergal play, then MrKravin and now you play this game. Each time there was a significant amount of updates to make the game play better and longer. Its really incredible to see so much work being put into this, cant wait for more!
Just wanted to say thank you, John, for taking care of the first part of the video! I know it might be something normal to you, to fix issues with the video, but spending hours on it just to deliver us quality is really a reason why I prefer your channel over others.
I noticed some small hiccups here and there but you fixed it so well, the frame rate didnt bother me at all. So great job! :D
One of my favorite channels.

10/10 gg
John you gotta play the full release! This game looks amazing, and had a few moments making me jump
When he kept hitting the shelves with the pipe, I thought he was serious at first , lmao funny John.
"We're gonna get a handle on this situation. " (face palm) You crack me up! 😁
John actually getting frights and shocks?! This is so refreshing.
16:30 @John Wolfe Nah, the people who ask when the next SallyFace chapter would eventually embark on a quest to find you just to ask when the next chapter is.
I LMFAO @ 14:36 when you hit that dark hallway and exclaimed "Oh UhUh" at that same moment I literally said yelled NOPE at my tv. Glad we are on the same page. I would have tried to turn right back around too lol. Also, this game gives me Vaporium vibes, which I love.
Amazing atmosphere and aesthetics for a single developer! I loved it and of course the camera room made me jump out of my skin. I can't wait for the next release!
I fucking love the spooks with no sound, like that hand or the thing peaking around the corner? It's so freaky. Surprisingly very atmospheric game!
Ready for this!!
And I wasn't ready for this. I actually got scared multiple times in this games and that's rare for me. Also, some of those walls creeped me out.
John, I lost it when you were messing with the pipes. Freaking hilarious.
Holy shit a quality release without bugs … what a treat ….
Looks like a pretty awesome game, and as always, loved watching you play!

I'm only about 40 minutes in and I'm really enjoying the subtle appearances of the monster as opposed to them suddenly being in your face and dying.
44:08 for some rare john jumpscares
I’ve never seen you jump like during the camera sequence!! This game looks awesome
Okay, but the way he says “dangerous” at 55:38 is so charming~ ❤️
I love the confident nod after pointing out the interesting rocks. Lol
This was fun!
God, this would be absolute torture playing through. I don't know how you do it, John.
I have to say, this game and you synergized quite well and I felt a lot of enjoyment here.
This game seems worth getting and I like the slow approach of building up atmosphere, playing some simple yet effective mind tricks and keeping the game all in all, besides the backtracking, fresh enough, to constantly give me feeling of uneasiness and anxiety.
A great catch, John. Thanks to the developer as well and I am wishing him the best of luck, support and patience to finish this project.
Omg normally i dont get creeped out but this game is creepy af
Reminds me so much of Silent Hill! The guy has some serious potential in developing horror games, bravo sir!
This place is like a nightmare on Elm street when you first meet freddy
I quite like the atmosphere in this! It didn't really matter what area you went to, I was still spooked out. It felt like no place was safe there
Also, that jumpscare was really good, hahaha, I was really not expecting that!
Thank you, I really enjoyed this game. Can't wait to see more.
thank you for uploading!! i love your videos 💕
My new favorite quote,
"Have no fear! John is here! ... rocks. Hehe."
Like, you kill me, my guy.

Nice not being assaulted by jump scares...creepy atmosphere..
You know it’s a good horror game if it makes John jump
Man something about this game is so pleasing to look at lol. I just like looking at the environments
This reminds me of the feeling I had when watching you play Phobia years ago. Amazing Game!
I'm getting major Event Horizon, Dead Space and Alien vibes from this game, due to the environmental design.
Actually, I'm getting Quake 1 and 2 vibe from this game when it comes to the environmental design ( you know, all the pipes, and the warehouse and whatnot? )
@@CryingZombie666
Same but I listed the Horror influences on this game.
Not to say that Quake doesn't take major influences.
Very obviously has huge Penumbra and Silent Hill influences
@Mr X Well, Quake did have some creepy atmosphere too.
why is his hiding space a crime scene? there were at least 5 numbered tags tagging a location of interest
Tyler Rose I’m so glad someone else noticed this
@@anastasiadzincioloski4911 ikr i hope it's hinted at in the story maybe a death of a friend/family or his own death and he's just reliving a nightmarish loop
Growing up in a family falling apart can make normal childhood pursuits/behaviors feel like a crime. At least to the child trying to navigate their broken environment.
@@s.m.gonyea1453 hmm thats true
@@s.m.gonyea1453 very true
It's some solid stuff. I can see the Amnesia/Silent Hill influences (and a subtle nod to Cry of Fear), but I also appreciate that they're _influences,_ not rips of mechanics, maps and models. It's a breath of fresh air, truly. I may have to pick it up myself when it comes out.
8:01 Dogs when they think they hear the doorbell
I've been watching John's videos for 4 years now, and during this playthrough I saw John actually emit fear, like I have never really seen in any of his content before or at least in quite a long while
39:43 I happen to be watching on a tiny phone screen and I *did* see that. It was a creepy naked slenderman.
This is by far the most amazing and most well designed indie horror game ive seen in my life, its been made by only 1 person too.
Absolutely incredible and pure talent, the layout and how things are placed and the factory and metal design is exceptionally good, it gives such great vibes of doom 3 too.
Truly masterpiece here.
Wow! This game was incredible. Also, I think the amount of backtracking is neatly placed in a way that makes it an enjoyable experience! Super freaky with the "peeking" entities and stalking lost souls. Awesome game!
I don't 'like' videos normally. But that part, when that creature, was peeking from around the corner,.. gave me goosebumps and I just had to smash that like button lmao
