Abermore is... a game? It's certainly a very bad one, so bad, it's AMAZING! (like in a way where it's fun to play when you get your friends together and make fun of it). I have no idea what the developers' plans were but I don't think they worked out. Abermore is a game whose gamepaly tries to emulate the Thief trilogy and Dishonored but falls flat on its face in a buggy, unplayable mess that doesn't seem like it's getting any patches soon. The store is also an absurd wall of text where uncanny valley NPCs rock back and fourth at you while the text goes on to a monotonous tone. You can buy this game if you really want, but it's recommended unless you've got a few friends handy to laugh at it with out.

first game to sell Abermillion copies, truly one of the games ever
Abermore Sweep
It's Aber-Morbin' time!
Abermore is truly one of the games ever made, the coding is there, the game is played and the game has sound.
Abermorellion*
@@adr.k8676 I read that in a Donald Trump voice
I did not have a job at end of development, and still don't. I was doing a large chunk of bugfixing the month before release which pub didn't put in until after release. those first two patches, were a fuckload of work and they almost didn't even happen. I wish I had something at the end of this but I'm glad you could drive yourself insane this was a fun video
Thank you for your service.
Love me
God bless you, you poor, poor, overworked, glorious bastard of a dev
Ok, seems that Charlatan is having an episode again
Episode, breakdown, whatever you want to call it.
man, people are so down bad for immersive sims they literally will play near unplayable games , immersive fans should marry mmo fans
Ouch. True
:/
MMO fans are utterly nitpicky. They'll try any new release, but leave it once they completed all the content and go back to their main game, complaining about a lack of content.
@@miguelcondadoolivar5149 immersive sim gamers are desperate and will try anything so they arent left alone, mmo gamers have stockholm syndrome and cant help but repetitively going back to the one game they keep complaining about
Dishonored and prey still hold up amazing at least!
Me before watching the video: surely this game can't be that bad, right?
Charlatan: *proceeds to progressively lose his mind for 30 minutes straight reviewing a game about praying to a train and to Ned Flanders*
I can only assume the universe decided Prey is as good as the immersive sim will ever get and has permanently cursed any further attempts at the genre
i have a multitude of problems with that game but it was ok. i hate that it repops every single time you do anything because that incentivizes you to never fight anything like BOTW or something because it's literally only ever a waste of resources with zero reward. that and making the fountains infinite and restore one health just to waste my fucking time. the intro sequence and the zero g portions are the only good parts. i just want dead space without the necromorphs or system shock without the jank.
@@wearecoterminous wrong.
@@mayonnaise3959 very well thought out and intelligent response I can see you thought about this a lot, idiot.
@@mayonnaise3959 you can't really say I'm wrong about my fucking opinion on liking the game or not you shit lord. just because you have a crush on everything Bethesda does doesn't mean the rest of us do. Psychoshock would have been better and so would prey 2 and you probably have no idea what either of those even are so maybe shut up
@@wearecoterminous Don't worry, you're not the only one who thought Prey fucking sucked a bag of dicks.
The sheer energy this video started with, I can't turn away.
Its honestly sad that the immersive sim (god what a dumb name) genre is so starved of games that we have to deal with completely broken products constantly
16:14 - I remember something similar from Deus Ex Invisible War, where you could pay the jet pilot dude with the sunglasses some ridiculous amount of money to use his rockets on his jet to take out one of the enemy faction bases on the final level. And he would just drop you on the island and never fire his rocket and just laugh at your ass telling how he ripped you off.
Yeah, but that was on purpose.
@@CharlatanWonder Sometimes a bug is better than a feature :D
@@bulutcagdas1071 Sometimes... not here dude..
Bruh...
17:07 clearly you've never heard of that time some hitman in China contracted another hitman to do his job, who contracted another one, who then decided he wasn't payed high enough and spilled the beans to the target, taking all of the line and the client with him in prison.
this is exactly what I had in mind when I wrote the instructions & initial draft of this relationship for our writers - that and y'know - *looks around at society*
@@Tiirsk hey, that's nice to see some of the team members in the comment for the game. Also nice to know this tall tale of murderous incompetence can get people inspired!
The ability to pose dead bodies is absolutely, totally, and utterly amazing. That needs to be genre standard from now on.
I hereby sentence you to complete an Abermore level with all objectives completed.
NO! PLEASE GOD NO!!!
ANYTHING BUT THAT! I'll even play Clear Sky all over again, just not that!
I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
"This game is so open ended they didn't even finish it" LOL and I'm subscribing thanks
The Crossbow and Blow Dart both have muzzle flash! Now thats quality jank!
The king: Every year! Every year he comes in and takes the jewelry, the weapons, tools, clothing, even the spice. Ooo, but this year. This year WILL be different!
after looking more into the game . yes the devs actually run out of money . And are finding regular job so they can work . the game story is more of a tragedy then intentional badly made game .
i feel bad for them :/
So, essentially, with the anonymity of the ones behind the movie The Room, look it up, it's insane, we have the videogame equivalent, with clincher being the anonymity of the people who made this, because the credits janked out.
Oh okay, NPCs in Fallout: New Vegas have head/body skintones that don’t match and uncanny character animations during janky dialogue and it’s “one of the greatest RPGs of all time”, but when Abermort does it it’s suddenly not ok?
It's not this fucked. There is a story and the game does not softback when you move within three metres of a cactus
I know! Can you believe this? I nominate Abermort as the new "one of the greatest game of all time"
Tbf my face is a different colour to my chest.
@@GangsterFrankensteinComputer Most peoples skin tone isn't uniform, that nitpick in the video was really weird lol
@@NachozMan I know, I still wonder why my dick looks suntanned but the rest of me is white as hell.
No no, you nailed that Mandalore quote, and yes, I found these ramblings unceremoniously dumped on my homepage.
You receive comment - I receive jank and cat vids
Knowing nothing about this game’s code, but being very familiar with Unity, I can almost guess exactly what’s going wrong for most of these bugs, why they didn’t find them, or didn’t have time to fix them, and what they’re reaction would have been after finding them, knowing they had no time to fix them.
Charles, Abermore Aberton times if you are beeing Abermored at a Abermorepoint while Abermoring this Aberton.
I cant wait for modders to finish the game in a couple of years
16:12 Oh fuck it's Shipples!
Oh shit I totally forgot to talk about shoulder nipples or as we called them in the secret stream, shipples.
The muzzle flash on the blow dart. Lmao
I have a STRONG feeling you're already aware of this game, but another "So bad it's good" immersive sim would be Brigand: Oaxaca. I've seen a video on it by youtube user Tehsnakerer, and I _tried_ to play it but I couldn't get the sound to work. Also, the dev is a pretty cool dude.
That said, it's not nearly as bad as Abermore. It's more like a combination of 40% actually problematic jank (mostly caused by the dev using a terrible engine) and 60% cursed presentation.
hey, just started the vid and there is something I’d like to point out as someone with unity experience. the walking animation being so bad is not due to lack of mocap (which an indie dev is unlikely to have access to), but to a lack of time and/or experience. Unity actually has some pretty cool IK features that hep the character’s feet track the correct position on the floor. besides, all that was really needed was to speed up the animation so it would fit with the speed at which they are moving.
too bad this game turned out this way, was hoping it would help the renaissance of i sims in indie space. Oh well, we still have Gloomwood to look forward to.
This is pretty interesting info. Just in case it wasn't obvious I did slow the part where you can see the dude down a bit so we all could get a good look at the guy, but I think you mean the walking animation in relation to his move speed. I could see how if the animation was sped up a bit the NPC wouldn't look like he was moonwalking in reverse.
It looks like a parody of stealth games, and i am here for it.
this is genuinely the most high energy commentary i've ever heard from charl
Love you Charlatan! I haven't gamed in years you just seem like a super cool person and I love virtually hanging with you in the vids haha
You definitely need more views on this! Great vid
I felt my soul leave my body at Lowry 2.0
Wow charl is finally descending into our reaches of insanity. Now the old ones with grant you eyes and abermore
Looks pretty cool. First thing I noticed is your character puts up his hand when stepping close to walls or structures. Neat immersive touch not seen in many games.
Abermore sweep. honestly, even better than (Deu)s Ex. totally cultural reset, every game will need to be compared to abermore now in order to be considered good.
This truly is the Morbius of ImSims
This game and your descent into madness is like watching a train wreck in slow motion, I just couldn't look away
the Bird Website is the best description of Twitter I have ever heard of, unless you are talking about some kind of obscure bird-watchers website~
I wasn't getting your notifications for a while, but this one has popped up fine. Hoping that the Dark God Algorithmo blesses you
just found your chanel, you make great videos
You were, indeed, on my homepage today 👍🏽
you are now the 3rd crazyest gamer in my subs, better step up the insane
Who exactly am I trying to beat here?
The red outline on the video thumbnail almost fooled me and I thought I had already seen this video.
"If TH-cam is putting me on the home page again"
You were on mine 💜
You're my favorite madman ❤️
You’ve seen Barbenheimer, now get ready for Abermorbius.
This is definitey the double feature of all time.
yet another video to add to my growing playlist of you-tuber trauma
Oh shit! I may watched your video half heartedly and get some chuckles about this failed immersion sims, and then you've mentioned 10 seconds ninja. I immediately know who worked on it and...hate how it all fell flat. They worked on gamemaker studio and it seemed they tried to move to a newer platform to work on games. For what it looks, it maybe the first time that they tried to use a different game engine which unfortunately didn't do as well.. which is sad because if the aim is creating an immersion sims they should have stuck with the system they're familiar with and crank out something similar to streets of rogue. But one can't learn without taking chances and making mistakes. Failed projects are a stepping stones for future developers to learn from and forge better and newer paths, and I hope this helps create a better future for better games despite its flop.
Congrats, you're back on the home page, I think
Remember, take a day off for every day up if you want to keep the magic. (No, but seriously you okay?)
Since you've started covering pseudo-im-sims with procedural generation, you might want to check out Unexplored; it's got amazing world generation with functional puzzles (with hints provided through journals found throughout the dungeon). The im-sim vibes come from assorted traversal tools, throwing/dropping items to test pressure plates and trigger timed switches, and torch/flask interactions with the environment.
The fact that you didn't say 'but wait! There's ABERmore' at 7:12 is pretty much heresy. Apart from that, great vid.
hmmm i think i love this channel
pmsl so hard at the cross-pist-bow
Glad to see you back to doing what you do best after that weird year where your content didn't capture me as much. This was enjoyable.
I don't enjoy imsims all that much (personal taste thing, not a comment on the genre), and I don't always enjoy your writing and so I am begrudgingly subscribed to your channel because I can't deny its quality. Especially when you keep putting stuff out like this lol. So keep on keeping on.
The highest selling game ever, Abermore has grossed over 300 billion Aberdollars
What an insane adventure of a game
'why are you praying to game assets' Children of the Omnissiah starts playing even louder
All I could think about during the intro was "Ah, mon petit chou-fleur..." :p
Very interesting game, so ambitious
The reviews are good but the cat does 90% of the heavy lifting in these videos
29:25 Thought I saw a UFO 👽
Idk how it's implemented in this game but weapon wheel crafting works pretty well in Horizon Zero Dawn and Dying Light 2. But not aaallll of the crafting was done in the weapon wheel.
Man, if this game gets good updates in the future, community or official. It looks like it could be an awesome experience.
It would be cool If they decided to throw the source code on the internet.
Abermore is the Morbius of immersive sims. 111/100 it has a little something for everyone.
TH-cam gave me no notifications for this, and I am *pissed*
Why IS this on my homepage? I never asked for this, but I was given it.
15:55 "What is the developer trying to convey with this" Buddy, that's Johnny Five Aces
1:59 no, you got that pretty much exactly
20:13 Looks more like a 5.7x28 (without the bottle neck), which also explains why 9 rounds costs 113 gold lmao
well that would explain why the pistol effectively one-shots everyone no matter where you hit them.
Craft from weapon wheel was made in Alien Isolation.
Pain.
PAIN TIME
"Who crafts from the weapon wheel?" Horizon Zero Dawn would like your number
Didn't see this video on it's release because of the algorithm decided to show me 2 days late
Might buy it tbh
4:01 Thats some juicy MoCrap!
It seems to be in a better state than Underworld Ascendant, despite looking almost exactly the same.
А помните серию где у Фландерса коридо сужался? Вот умора
The TF2 soundtrack hits hard
The guy who said Lonesome Road is garbage is now trying to tell me this actual garbage is good
0:59 ned flanders cameo
The pulsating lighting and the edge effects made me sick to my stomach
Ok, I have to the play this now. Call me a curious masochist.
This just feels like somebody THOUGHT about Dishonored
10 Second Ninja is actually pretty damn good, damn shame this happened to the devs
I never heard of a game broken to this level. I almost want to buy It, this is a hard achievement.
Man what the hell this game has so much potential lol
Costco Dishonored lol
What’s Mystery of the Druids or Frog Fractions?
i try not to work on the weekend...play video games haha man work is tough enough to qq about it ouch!
I respect that they tried to build an immersive sim. It's more than Arkane does these days.
yeah i dont think youre on my homepage again
PLEASE tell your cat I said hello, I don’t know him but still
This is like the poor man's version of Dishonored, Deus Ex or a more updated Thief. Speaking of a more updated Thief, if you want to play a freeware homage to the original Thief trilogy in great quality and with great attention to detail, check out The Dark Mod. Entirely freeware, entirely standalone, the stealth is what you know from the original, there are hundreds of detailed and varied classic Thief missions. (Though it uses its own Thief-like setting, to avoid copyright issues.) A recent indie dev had also created a project called Delightfyl, another Thief-like game with great ambience, though it's still a work in progress.
if the pistol fires 9mm its probably a browning hi power not a 1911
31:10 It's your own fault, you just should have prayed to the TH-cam train
It doesn't looks that bad, honestly.
Almighty Algorithm! Why do you taunt this man? Have I not been feeding you sufficient comments? Have I not clicked that like button enough? For what capricious purpose do you act, oh computer god of our age!?
I agree, where is the next Kenshi video?
