Follia - Dear Father is a stealth survival horror game that takes place on a university. Marcus searches for his parents, but instead finds himself in some STICKY SITUATIONS. I basically took that description from the Steam page, but added the phrase "sticky situations" because I thought it really captured the feel of the game.

I missed the part where the university turned into a hospital.
I guess it's a medical university? But I like your idea that it magically changed better. Adds to the lore.
Indeed. The locations are all very confusing and incoherent. I'm having a hard time following where he's going and why at any given time.
It should be a part of the university complex, at least from the janitor's note.
Or why we had to go through spooky abandoned place to get to where our parents worked. Are there no roads there? Does the protag just not know where they work and won't admit it?
@sREUDIAN fLIP I hope all the students have to brave the haunted building just to get to class every day.
I want a DLC from Ryan's perspective, a sitting in the car till it's time to call the police simulator.
"I just don't appreciate some of the tropes it has, like falling through the floor,"
**falls through floor**
**looks into the camera**
That comedic moment was a scripted event.
Time pls?
The fact that he just goes on without acknowledging it makes it so much better
I was just rewinding that part to chuckle again
Monica Werbil that was hilarious
Ryan's probably in the car jamming to music while you walk through hell and is like damn what's taking so long.
lmao so true
Right
The loading screen door in Resident Evil works for three reasons:
1. It's the loading screen.
2. It intuitively flows from you actually opening a door to you entering the room after it.
3. The act of opening a door is terrifying.
None of the three apply to this game. You were in a friggin' car and it shows a door opening.
Lmfaoo, right?! It's kinda hilarious that the devs missed every point and just shoehorned it in there. The double loading screens is really what takes the cake. xD
Lol good game design
And then it cuts to another loading screen 😌
Lmao! I watched that scene and was like, “That doesn’t work that way. Missed the execution there devs.” 😂
So many horror games have no concept of restraint. Let's say you see a scene of impossible violence within the first ten minutes. Bodies strung up, impaled or crucified, disemboweled and painting the room with their insides. Dead fetuses on the ground. Walls of gore. At that point, how do you possibly ramp up? You can't go MORE extreme than that, you've already reached the ceiling in the first ten minutes. There's nowhere to go from there.
It felt like every single room in this game was trying for a scene of unimaginable gore and it got desensitizing maybe within the third instance. It was such unimaginative, empty shlock. Edginess for its own sake.
THAT part! The developer(s) did way too much. To the point where it made little to no sense. Many of the rooms were just dedicated to this type of scene rather than adding any actual substance to the game.
Exactly and not only were all the rooms decorated in gore but every one of the villains was gore based and so was every scripted scene
@@Yuu-pn9dg And every single event afterwards was so tastelessly tacky in its execution. "Then we have a rat... run into the corpse's MOUTH!" Every time something like that came off I had to fight off laughter, it was just so over the top and trying so hard to be shocking and gross that it just ended up ridiculous.
This is probably the reason why I tend to be scared more of atmospheric and slow burning horror games and movies. Game's like Outlast and the game John is currently playing just feels exploitative rather than actually scary.
Silent Hill, just backwards, nah nothing special :)
I love how Marcus’s friend came up with the idea to go look for his parents and he just sits in the car the entire time while Marcus does the dirty work. Amazing.
Other youtubers: "God i love all of you guys. You guys are the best fans ever."
John: "You guys are disgusting." :'D
This is why I love John-

I'll never understand why these horror games all insist on having the monsters make the most vomit-inducing sounds. You can make something scary without making it constantly sound like it's going to hurl, and you can make a scary game without making *me* want to hurl.
A giant mood
Idk I think it's kinda hot
Mh, well a large amount of horror is sounds, so horror genres have to use sounds to drive tension, and to have it as a payoff mechanic. I think disgust and horror have somewhat similar triggers mentally.
@@charon_lix Say sike right now, IM WARNING YOU.

I loled when john talked about how when he dies he'll be holding the basement key and a piece of paper from his diary
😂😂😂😂😂
The monsters killed everyone and then switched the computers to auto update. Now they all have the blue screen of death.
2:00:00 yeah. when the dev kills the player, that actually RELIEVES tension. killing the player in a horror game is actually being nice to them and letting them relax. it's like Hitchcock said "if there's a bomb under the table and it goes off, it's action. if we know it's under there and that it WILL go off later, that's tension." as a horror dev, you gotta ride the line of tension to keep the player tense. just killing them all the time is action and misses the point. you want the player to be constantly bracing for something bad to happen, but it doesn't. imo if you do it right, the player feels dumb at the end of the situation for being so tense, when in reality you manipulated them to feel that intentionally. any horror game where it's like "SAFE or DEAD", in that binary setup, misses the grey middle area called TENSION, where the player may or may not be safe but doesn't know for sure. the ideal is SAFE|UNCERTAINTY|DEATH. that spectrum.
This reminds me a bit of what Valve said regarding the design of the horror chapter in Half Life: Alyx. Basically, they saw that players only found being killed by the monster scary the first time or two. After that, they just got frustrated. But what consistently kept players scared was perceived near-death situations. Situations where players felt like they were within seconds of dying, even if mechanically, they actually weren't in much danger at all. Valve eventually chose to design the entire chapter around placing the player in those situations.
By designing a chapter around those moments, instead of just siccing a Super Scary Monster on the player and killing them 50,000 times, Valve created what is probably the single greatest short horror experience the medium has ever seen.
It makes sense for the reasons you've listed. Death in games is, with few exceptions, anti-immersion. Horror relies on players being *IN* the moment, with them forgetting on some level that they're sitting outside the game in the comfort of their own home. The more the player dies, the harder it becomes for them to get into that zone. Killing the player in horror games is, as you say, a release of tension. Developers need to stop treating it as a source of tension.
You are both absolutely right, the creators of some of these games don't even realise that they need to build an immersive atmosphere.
I think alien isolation is a good look into this concept, the alien is terrifying in that you know it's always there waiting for you to mess up, then when it drops and stalks you you know you have to try and deal with it, but once you're about to die the tension goes away almost immediately, as it's obvious it's going to come kill you. I've also been playing the game recently so I have it fresher on my mind but the way they make the alien ai work in that game is near perfect for a spooky monster chasing you
Very well said to all of you. I instantly had to think of Subnautica. While not purely or even primarily a horror game, it has some of the most butt clenching moments for me (to be fair - I can mostly watch horror games than play them). But the fact that there could always be another sea creature, that you may have not seen yet and you dont know how it acts is the actual horror part. I was scared of reapers in this game for hours with a total of maybe 2 or 3 minutes having an actual encounter with them in the whole playthrough. It was enough to hear them, sometimes see the sillhouette and knowing what they can do and that they are a constant threat - like you said: tention - exactly how it should be.
It also depends on what happens when you die. If it's just a checkpoint to a small, repetitive section or set piece that you have to do over and over again it gets boring. But in something like Alien Isolation or perhaps Five night's at freddy's where you have to go through a long, tense session again it's a lot scarier to die. You have a lot more to lose is what I mean.
Hey John. The voice actor is Brian Watts. He voiced the main character in Project Nightmares. Hope that helps!
He also voices the protagonist in The Silent House too!
@@1000colours John and I go back a bit, he helped me when I wanted to give up voice acting and left some incredibly inspiring words of wisdom to me, he never had to but he chose which showed his character and him to be a great man. I was going through a tough time and felt like I did the worst voice work I'd ever done but John pretty much told me my work was the only thing that made the project tolerable. John is a hell of a guy and I recommend him to any game developer I work with to this very day.
O3O that is awesome
@@ShadowsFateOfficial that's so cool! what was the project?
@@ShadowsFateOfficial Wait.. Are you Mr. Watts?
These horror games making John slowly spiral into madness
Soon we get a live footage horror show featuring John :D awsome
Also, I’m so glad this is 2 hours, you don’t know how many of Johns videos I fall asleep to at night (not cause he’s boring, it’s purely because they are comforting)
Same, I love listening to full game plays to go to sleep
Me too
Glad I'm not the only one lol
I do this too. Johns my comfort place
oh... my... GOD! You too???? I thought I was the only one lmaooooo
It's nice of John to upload this in multiple parts like he said he'd do in the beginning, instead of making it one video.
Kidding aside I prefer the longer videos.
Technically, it's only an armoire if it's made in the Armignon region of France, otherwise it's just a sparkling wardrobe.
Or if you're French, it is called armoire regardless the place where it was made.
Hey John, Architectural engineer here, about the pipes (and vents...). I've never seen a configuration of pipes like that before. Also red pipes are usually used for water access to supress fires (stagnant water pipes, or dry ones) , but that makes this configuration even weirder. So yes, it doesn't seem to make any sense.
About crawling through vents and stuff, that's never going to be a thing irl. They are way too small and they are among the most dusty places in a building along with a whole load of other shizzle that got into there. Also they're more likely to be round, since the ariflow is better than in a square one.
Johns impressions of us is one of my favorite things
Well he's not wrong
I want to imagine there was a prequel where someone spent HOURS locking these monsters in their respective rooms/vents/etc. They finally escape campus and hope that no one lets these monsters escape.
John undoes everything lol
Bless Papa John for posting another video after we've missed you for so long.
I mean, if you follow him on twitch you could watch him stream 4 days a week for 3+ hours at a time 🤷🏼♀️
Alex Webb streaming isn’t the same as TH-cam.
@@yagirlalex1387 To be fair, streams are not the same as TH-cam videos, especially if you don't have great internet that seamlessly handles the stream data or a schedule that permits tuning in at the best times. If streams work great for you, good deal, but plenty of people still enjoy the John Wolfe TH-cam experience.
Papa bless. Haha john is amazing for realzzez
@@genericpersonx333 There are VODs. I'm only chipping in because I mostly watch his VODs, as I'm in Europe, and I very much enjoy his Twitch content.
29:20 : the light emitter has been clipped through the mesh object for the light fixture, the mesh wasn't built in such a way to prevent light leakage.
Could have been solved with a light alpha and telling the light emitter to ignore the mesh object of the light itself.
Robin Hoole thanks for actually answering john’s question, i immediately scoured the comments for an explanation cause i got genuinely curious!
This isn't quite correct. The light you see on the wall is, in fact, an alpha. The lines you see are in the alpha's texture. Likely due to pixel stretching from improper import settings in unity.

John: Says he is going to make it multipart.
Me: It's a 2hour video. Doubt.
Anakin: LIAR!
John: [walks on screen]
Me: \o/ It's John!!
Also at 10:05 -
I appreciate our truly fearless leader. Anyone else (read: me) would have jumped or yelled at that loud noise but here's John just INSULTING IT like "You're gonna have to do better than that." Stunning. I wish I had nerves of steel like that. 8(
I was looking for cookies when that happened and got spooped
@@GAEULsbn Spot on. If people watch his older videos they'll see that he used to jump all the time.
33 minutes in and I'm under the impression that the parents dying was a plot device to get the protagonist out of his house and to go explore an abandoned, yet not, building. I'm constantly thinking "soooo what was with the back roads thing? What about his parents? Why is he even doing this?" I guess he wanted to take the long way there. My hope for a decent explanation might not get answered by the end of this, so I'm just here for John's commentary at this point xD
My problem with this game is that you can see everything they try to emulate from other games, when they try to be scary, i just feel like when a person tries to be funny by making weird faces and fart jokes. Plus the story feel like is just there to move things, i forgot what the plot was until the end, and i didn't even remember it had "father" in the tittle, everything just feel so disconnected. But i can appreciate the idea and the effort, you can tell it's a passion project, and being able to even finish a videogame is an achievement itself,
"Some of the tropes I don't appreciate, like constantly falling through the floor.." *falls through floor*
*see intestines*
Protag: Is anyone here?
Moi: Well, kind of.
I feel like this game was trying too hard emulate survival horror games like resident evil 7 and outlast but completely missed the whole point of both games
As if Outlast had any point to its violence. This game just tried to one up it.
Man, your sass never fails to crack me up. XD
I agree it's too padding and mediocre. For the length of it, the devs should have explored more on character, story, relationship building to balance out instead of adding more maps and enemies that are not truly relevant. Like you've said, he had no connection with parents up until the end. The father's suicide is weird. He "cured" the mother of cancer, but he then took his life and left the son to make decision? He's so vague in saying he didn't have much time left. If he's also sick, why not taking the same "cure"? Not very logical.
I think developing horror game has become increasingly hard, because gamers have seen most of these types of stories, mechanics, and have become so desensitized to gore and jump scare. The same for horror movies. Yet, many devs don't really get it that more of these are not the key to good games, because we have games like FNAF, RE, Silent Hill, or Outlast, etc. that are so successful. They don't realize that these games are not successful because of the cosmetic stuff, but because that they balance the atmosphere, accomplishment, and punishment extremely well, sometimes to the point of addiction. Plus, the story is very interesting despite that it's a typical story line that has been used over and over again. Additionally, having just a few but iconic enemies are more memorable and scary than having a truckload. Like Mr. X, he barely did anything more than stalking but gamers are anxious to the max once they heard his footsteps.
Very true! Also, a lot of horror writing and media can often be hit-or-miss most of the time (especially since horror is one of the most personable feelings that people can have, so horror tends to be the kind of genre where, when something is made, not everyone is going to gravitate to it or agree to it being scary in an entertaining way, regardless on how successful it may be).
@@Scarshadow666
Like 90% of "classic" horror movies. They're all just "Oh no, big scary murderer trying to kill us after he killed a half a dozen people in the intro! Let's make bad decisions while running away except not running away because we can't even do that correctly!"
Hard to be scared for a bunch of idiots who get themselves killed.
Now romance films, with all that kissing and hugging, that's scary.
I am confused... Wasn't the protag going to the university to see what happened to his parents...? Why is he in an abandoned hospital? I swear I looked away for a second, did I miss something?
Might be a medical school?
Ikr
A medical school and a mine dhaft
Probably a university hospital. Kind of high-tech facilities for a university though
Maybe because the main road was blocked he was trying to go through the abandoned building to get to the university (I haven’t even finished the video so I apologize if I am mistaken)
Im so sick of the community as a whole making the same game over and over again. And is there really no other way to tell a story than through diary pages and police reports?
Then they would have to actually animate, or create their own assets or do actual work.
Honestly I seriously wish more games would take the Bioshock route of having optional voice recordings to pick up, but still getting the story without needing to find them. Too much effort to hire competent voice actors and have a good story without relying on exposition dumps, I guess...
@@rambbler a lot of game makers are not writers or storytellers (or voice actors) - and vice versa. for some reason, they too rarely know where to find each other...
@@elvensith001 man, if only there were some kind of system that could connect people with other people, even if they are halfway around the world from eachother. Someone should patent that, maybe even create some sort of worldwide billboard that anyone can post stuff on, maybe even advertisements or job offers?
Honestly though, I get that budgets are tight, but maybe spend a bit more time on making your own models and save some of that asset fund to work as pay for voice actors. Like just put a post up, maybe interview a few people who reply, and get some amateur voice actors a job.
@Nahid Ferdous oh yeah, I know there are a ton of resources out there. I was mainly begging sarcastic saying that there's so many forums and websites to post job postings that it's so sad to see them not utilized by the game making community.
John: "I guess we were studying hard, huh?"
Marcus PITT: "No"
I can't be the only one who heard that
Obviously the reason the protagonist was just hung up instead of being disemboweled is because Father Martin needed him as a witness. Oh wait wrong game
This made me LOL
I’m just here for the different Outlast descriptors: dollar store Outlast, diet Outlast...😂😂 but seriously this game makes no sense. Thanks for slogging through these nonsensical games!
Zero Calorie Outlast
Lmao for real! This is the Great Value Outlast 😂
I prefer to refer to things as “Great Value” or “Super Saver”
"I want to be Outlast so bad I fall through floor with no animation" - that should be it :)

Lol. Sorry John, I had to.
His combat attack with the crowbar was funny like he is B$$ch slapping someone in the face instead he is using the crowbar
Plus when you notice that the other arm seems like its always in his pocket.
only 25 minutes in but calling it now, there's no spooky ghost - everyone just smashed through so much energy drinks their hearts (and bodies) exploded. Creepy child is just someone so hopped up on energy drink they're going nuts.
Prove it
11:48 I chortled when John said "ow" after surprising himself by swinging the crow bar.
It's the ass backwardness of it. He was full expecting the game to have no combat (which, it didn't so being able to swing the damn thing ultimately proved 100% pointless) so the suddenness and weirdness of it hurt his brain.
John 0:30 : "This is probably going to be a multipart playthrough, I thought about doing one long video, BUT I decided NOT to do that"
Also John: 2:21:56.
Me: Are you sure about that?
"are we going with the scary hospital again?"
Well, there aren't many options of places for these games. There's the scary hospital, scary house/mansion, scary office, scary abandoned building, and thats pretty much It.
What did you want? Scary library? Scary coffee shop?
OBS: keep up the great videos, love your work!
Maybe an amusement park? Has been done but not effectively enough. A mall? A museum? A zoo/ circus? Just a hotel? The beach/an entire island (where it would make sense why you couldn't just leave.) A ski resort? A junkyard? A cruise ship/ train? (Done before, but not as frequently.) An entire camping resort? A trailer park? An entire haunted movie theater? Just a city rooftop setting where you can't get into buildings, needing to construct ways to get across? A funeral home, with graves & church out back? An airport? Botanical gardens?
Maybe some real life places, like government buildings (white house), natural sites (grand canyon/ Niagara falls), or store models (Walmart)...
I get it though. Mines, schools, hospitals, etc., seem to be naturally scary places when abandoned, but it gets old too. It would be nice to see some creative environments.
Ooo. Scary comcast support office
Funnily enough, there is a horror game based in a library called A Place, Forbidden. Launched on 25th June XD
Scary Library worked really well in the Ghostbusters game, and scary coffee shop sounds amazing XD
21:05 --> Marcus: "Is Anybody here?"
Bloody Entrails on the Table: "Well, there's part of somebody here."
1:09:02 was just... too good and John's face was... it just all lined up perfectly.
I've been waiting for this. More long horror game videos please.
Also i swore you played a game just like this a few years back ( I found the game its called roots of insanity and its literally the same game)
That's indie horror for you...
A spoilery name, like the beast inside?
Apparently "follia" means "madness" lol (but no epic twists though)
Came looking for this comment, i thought i was going nuts lol.
Thanks. I was wondering about that
I was starting to tune out halfway through the vid despite John’s best efforts, but he managed to make the 2nd half really entertaining for me. Notable moments: blue screen of death, the Penumbra shoutout, and that hilarious 1:45:30 flash of morbid curiosity interrupting his mortified reaction
I'VE been a cleaner & trust me, you can be VERY unappreciated. Especially when you put in 100% in your work yet won't be acknowledged or still get short changed on your checks.... many cleaners of any type deal with this. Be thankful you get to play games for a living, so you don't understand & can make jokes about it 😆👏
This was a weird one, a mash up of horror tropes and (relatively) well used assets. Reminds me of that game roots of insanity actually. These indie horrors in particular are what I imagine a B horror game looks like.
I do like that the toilet key was on the guard rather than just in the bowl. And of course the guy gets out of breath fast, he carries a lighter 24/7. He's clearly a 2-pack a day man.
1:45:50
it's actually a well documented medical fact that people have a second pair of eyeballs at the back of the skull - these are called the Wisdom Eyeballs and they grow in over time as our front eyes deteriorate with age. Sometimes the Wisdom Eyeballs can get impacted and must be surgically removed.
This is probably the coolest yet most disgusting fact I've heard
Fake facts
I always feel a sense of relief when John is pleased with a game or certain aspects in a game, lol. Then again, I also enjoy when he loses his mind or is critical over things that are nonsensical/illogical in a game, lol. Best of both worlds to me. Always love your videos John. 😊
"looks like we're driving on the right side so this isn't America. You can't FOOL me...
OH wait..."
If the wood doesn't come from the Armoire region of France, its technically just sparkling cabinet.
i love listening/ watching your videos while i paint! I got really excited when i saw that this video is 2 hours long. cheers.
I don't think your jokes are forced. Your comedy is one of the things I find truly charming about you and what makes me so happy when I watch your videos lol. You are so cheeky and it's just awsome lol.
John spoiling us with a video that’s 2 hours and almost 30 minutes . We love you
My armoire:
Solid Oak
7 feet tall
Ornate design on the top
Weight: 20 LBS
I don't know if I am the only one that notices this but the game from when the car pulls up to the gate and onwards, looks *EXACTLY* like the beginning of Outlast.
Ngl I absolutely forgot that the whole plot is looking for your parents, and I thought John was joking when he said “I think this guy is my dad”
The hospital entrance reminds me a lot of the entrance in outlast
And the inventory is very RE7...
the entire start is basically outlast
27:25 reminds me of another game he played th-cam.com/video/UZUL4ZWm-wA/w-d-xo.html
I was just about to comment this, there's no way no one else noticed how bad this game wanted to be Outlast. I'm only 17 minutes into the video and I am really confused as to where the hell our main character is? Wasn't he supposed to be at the university?!
Edit: Well, John said it better, dollar store Outlast it is, lol. 😀 Quite bad but entertaining.
I felt the exact same, that and the odd battery aspect being put into a hospital when it was suppose to be a university environment? I also noticed when he was pushing the trashcan or object before there was the occupant banging on the bars then proceeding to run away, the push is /exactly/ like outlast. Seems very similar...
44:04 Iv´e been seeing other horror youtubers and, god, they are nice but they scream so much all the time. Then there´s John, who responds to everything so calmly you even wonder if he has a soul. It´s so refreshing.
Downvoted for not enough falling through the floors.
I feel like this game had decent ideas and potential but it was all executed so poorly that nothing really worked.
The audio kills it though. The stock sound effects that don't match the visuals or situations turn potentially decent scenes into jokes.
Crow scare.
Me: Jumps
John: You’re gonna have to do better than that.
John i miss you so much! I'm so sorry about your loss I know it really effected you. I can't wait for more up loads and sarcasm. You are one of the most honest youtubers ever and you're one of the best. It goes John wolfe, manlybadasshero, and Mrkravin. The trio of DOOOOM!
This game really enjoys aiming violence at woman in a weird way. The removed fetus. The whole "romantic dinner" where the monster is stabbing a woman between the legs on the table in the back. The tentacles coming from between that woman's legs. Whatever the Hell that "tyrant" was doing up on that banister...
@LDN EDD we're talking about this game, in particular, you can't deny it.
LDN EDD jesus you’re annoying
@LDN EDD in this particular game sir. Gosh
The design choice is definitely questionable, but I think it's less about misogyny and more about shock value. Men are the portrayed as mishapened monsters and as victims of torture. In the end I think it's a hit and miss something to learn from.
kenlin newen Tru, but the women were also portrayed as (a) misshapen monster and victims of torture. Said torture was just mostly sexual by nature. Def for shock value, but misogynistic or not its p gross
Whenever I watch this I always ask myself “what has this got to do with cancer?”
Oh so this was the one you were talking about on Twitch. So glad you finally got your computer up and running again. Putting these computer POS together is a bitch. Time consuming and you have to remember where everything goes. This was a good game. Not bad at all.
John seeing his Nieces and Nephews:
"listen kid, if you come near me I'm gunna punt you to the other side of the room"
“I think it’s funny... I’m hilarious” 😂 I love how cheeky you are, John.
29:22 as a unity dev, I'd say it's a problem with the lighting cookie image on the light (a greyscale .png image with a dark outside and a bright white middle, painted as you prefer). some setting like the bias or something is wrong, which can create weird artifacts outside the desired 'visible' section of the cookie. you can see similar artifacts as lines along the edge of a flashlight cookie image, if you don't set the import settings to "clamp" and leave it on repeat, or use the wrong filtering. or something. I dunno, I just try shit until that stuff disappears, and I could eliminate it in 3 minutes of tweaking, but I'm not sure the exact terminology.
2:04:30
*literal chaos*
John: Hey, is the same painting from earlier
Yo, your janitor voice was like peak material. You do a really great older/middle aged country dude who probably smokes, drinks beer and works for an honest life
John Turned on his camera, got up out of his chair, and then sat back down to do the intro.
I find this hilarious.
The moment John pronounced the janitor's name as Bi-sword I immediately thought about the two ladies in that "bisexuals of the blade" post
As John mentioned, I applaud the amount of work that was done by so few people. That being said, this could have really benefited from a more fleshed out story. Even if the character just talked to himself more about what he was doing along the way, so you didn't feel so much like "what are we doing here again? Oh right..." The story/concept itself was just too simple to make us feel attached at all and left us with too many questions. Like why did the drug do all this? Who were all these people? Why couldn't they be saved? Why couldn't dad leave with us? Why were we brought here? Why had no one else come to take care of this? Try to answer these and it all comes down to a very vague answer, the same vague answer really.
And why was he given options but didn't have any choice?
Oh how I missed watching your videos, such a free space from what's going on in the world right now. Thank you John.
"Like falling through the floor...."
*immediately falls through the floor*
I literally just burst out laughing at that. It was so perfectly timed lol
Lmao the part where the mouse goes into the mouth and he just stops talking to watch, got me dying
my spouse and i call our kitchen area "the pit" so when its time for food they holler "meet me in the P I T " in to my office
thank you for sharing your story im stealing their idea now
It was around minute 44 that I was like "hey, this video is pretty long" ... and realized it was 2 hours. I felt the happiest I've been all day!
01:49:15 "I don't know what's more sad, the human corpses or the computer corpses? Probably the human corpses."
*procees to walk over a dead woman and child*
John talks about falling through the floor trope and immediately falls through the floor lol. I agree with what you said. I'd also add that there was no context to what was happening!! The whole game was basically "what just happened" or "why did that happen". While some confusion can be used to create fear/uneasiness, too much dulls the experience.
John: Like constantly falling through the floor
Follia: Watch this
I immediately checked the length of the video when John said it would be split up. I expected 20 minutes, and I get 2 hours more! This is going to be great!
Hey John, I love your content! It always puts a smile on my face whenever it pops up in my feed. I had a suggestion, it'd be really cool to see more pixel horror games. They always seem more stylized and have better atmosphere than most of the 3d ones. Watching you play Lisa and Faith was interesting and super fun!
That statement John made about the garbage monsters lol:
_"Welcome to The Trash side..._
_I hereby dub you..._
_Darth... Dumpster._
_You will be stronger than any garbage dump."_
I can't believe John just replayed outlast. Get some new games
Ikr
Nah door animation are from res 1
"Some of the tropes I don't appreciate, like constantly falling through the floor..." *falls through floor*
Man, if it wasn't for your humor John, I wouldn't have been able to get through this. I agree the work that went into this game is admirable, but as a game it is not very good. Why people were saying "It's actually good, though" I have no clue.
