    I think the best way to describe this game is "the monster is the least scary part of the game". The atmosphere and tension are fantastic. The only time I wasnt scared when I played the game was the poor movement of the monster. But its not about the monster, its more about the atmosphere. A lot of games could still learn from that.

      Not to mention the game's music suddenly stops whenever you exit out of a specific part of the house, or when the monster stops chasing you. Speaking of the monster, that thing uses the Slendytubbies Laa-Laa model attack animation, which itself is from another game, which IT takes from The Curse Of The Blackwater. Probably free Unity assets.

      @@bluemooninthedaylight8073 In what way? That comes across somewhat crass but I don't mean it to be. It is cool that an oldie can still be a goodie but other than that, I'd say fresh out the gate is best. My take away is how much John has changed in a mere 5 years. Just a prediction but I can see John playing a lot less horror games 5 years from now. He'll still be cool though of course.

Now he's had the fame and glory affect his personality and found more fame with a younger demographic, now he's reduced himself to a stupid incoherent blabbermouth that calls himself "markimoo" it's pretty pathetic really.

    I'm glad you still liked this one! I'm very fond of it, even though some of its flaws are pretty noticeable in this video. The atmosphere is great, and I still love how the dream sequence was built up, along with the time spent in the house. One thing the game lets you do is explore without having something chasing after you, so you have two in-game days to learn the layout. That helps give an advantage against the monster. Yet the mundane activities (which do make sense, as you mentioned) still have this sense of underlying dread. Something is off, and by the time you get to see what is going on, it's built up to the point that just about anything would make the player jump.
    Another thing I noted was how the protagonist doesn't carry random items around until he knows what he needs them for. I liked the thought system since it makes more sense than the protagonist writing down stuff in a journal everywhere. The scattered reports get outright noted in the game, and I thought it was a good move for the experiment's purpose to be addressed in an ironic situation. That is, the scientist literally forgot what it was for, so rather than being "GENERIC EVIL EXPERIMENT that is NEVER EXPLAINED," it becomes, "Dude, why the heck was I doing this, what even justifies it?" It was also nice to have the game begin with the car running out of fuel rather than a car crash from a SPOOKY MONSTER. Sure, the being-stuck-for-lack-of-working-vehicle trope is used to heck and back, but this is a better way to do it than most.
    Really strong experience overall. It was great seeing it again!

    I love this game, and every time I see game-play of it, it is one of the few games that is able to build up the atmosphere well enough to make me physically jump or give me chills. The effective placement of key items in dead-ends that you need to grab mid-chase-sequence really helps the tension and feeling of being trapped. I think it holds up very well, and I almost jumped out of my seat with excitement when I saw you were playing it again. Thanks for another amazing video.

    Hi John!
    This game used to scare the crap out of me back in 2014. I think it was one of the first games I've seen you playing on this channel, too (the first one may have been The Last of Us or Bunker 16, I don't really remember).
    I still thinks Phobia holds up pretty well! The chasing sequence can be tense if one doesn't immediately remember the layout of the mansion, and just as you said the music is pretty good! I honestly was waiting for you to re-play it.
    On a side note, I still enjoy watching your original playthrough from time to time and seeing you freaking out on night 1 when the scratching begins. It kind of reminds me of how I used to be scared of every horror game, too (I used to jump out of my skin with games like Slenderman) and of how much I grew to be "brave" in the matter, like yourself.
    Keep up the great work, man! See you next video.

    NO WAY
    I was literally just re-watching this the other day your old Phobia let's play and was thinking how cool it'd be if you reacted to it again. I guess dreams do come true :o

    I didn't start watching your channel 5 years ago, but Phobia 1.5 was the first play-through of yours I watched. Great going on the 500K, hope you reach a million soon!

    Your initial play of this was the vid that made me hit the subscribe button. I will never forget your reaction when you first laid eyes on the monster.

    What would’ve been super cool is if the “fuel” somehow turned out to be the faulty expierment potion stuff and the character spilled some on itself. Then as time went on and the character got worse, the house would rearrange to show that you were forgetting the house and you had to escape and get help before it was too late! That’s what I thought was going to happen anyway haha

    honestly even watching this in 2022, it still holds up. the ambience, despite the audio weirdness, is still very spooky. i felt tense in that house during the night despite this being my fourth or fifth watch through of this video since it was posted lol

    It's pretty cool to see you revisiting these games and then to see how different they feel now vs. then it's insane and to see how much YOU have grown as a youtuber is amazing. These videos have too many odd but good feels, John.

  • @CerebralArtery
    @CerebralArtery 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh my god John please continue this!! It's so nostalgic and awesome as fuck seeing you revisit these old spooky horror games knowing how much you've grown since back then. I've always wondered what how "new, hardened John" would compare to baby John lol.

    Hello John I'm really enjoying this looking back at old games that you played have you ever the about replaying Cry of Fear that was one of the good ones

  • @forevertaboo602
    @forevertaboo602 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    This definitely held up, imo -- I've seen the original playthrough a bunch of times, but also forgot how it panned out. The music and the atmosphere really draws you in and you getting scared at least one point makes this one a worthy replay. Nice to know you can still get scared/are not desensitized to the usual grind, if any scares. It's even better because we can tell you had a lot of fun replaying it too.
