I loved this game as a kid, lot of memories. A few things worth note, like how the one assault rifle had a grenade launcher, most guns had a secondary fire in it. For example, shotgun hosts would be able to do a double barrel fire, like Half-Life. The multiplayer was fun and had bot support. It would have been funny to have civvie show it and the secret locations to play special characters on certain maps. One map had Richardson naked except for her towel, and she had a towel as a weapon that she would whip rat-tail style as a one hit, another map had the chef who would throw the plates like saucers. Speaking of the chef, on the level where you use him to poison the guards, you can actually cook the soup without the rat poison. The cutscene plays out the same, so chef (Raimi) will still do his serial killer laugh and then stop to try and hide even though he only cooked soup. The guards will comment on how it tastes bland. Since the game has to move on, when you re-enter the area they will be lined up for seconds.
Everyone's got their favorite middle market obscure game, and this one is mine! Didn't ever expect to see Civvie cover it but I'm glad he did and more glad he liked it!
You know this a special type of weird when even Katie's editing goes next level. I also gotta love how Civvie never runs out of colorful descriptions for John Carmack.

I remember seeing the review of this game on X-Play and thinking it looked fascinating, but I was also like 13 and my parents were pretty strict about me playing M rated games. Glad to see it was as weird and cool as my child brain thought it would be. I always remember it exists but never enough to actually track it down and give it a shot.
Strictness with M rated games sticks with me. I tried out Mass Effect, but got stopped shortly after leaving the Citadel because my parents didn’t like the gunfire. What’s funny is that this was the one case that was a problem: Mass Effect was out, but Persona 4 and Halo were fine around the same time. Well, Halo had some caveats (I spent all my time making Forge maps with no one to play on them, no multiplayer), but they were dumb reasons to make an exception.
Fun fact: The roly-poly boss is based on a real-life insect, the larvae of the caddis-fly. They will take whatever is in their environment and glue it together to make a shell. People keep them as pets and leave gold flecks and other things so the caddis flies make custom pretty shells.

THIS GAME ! I've been looking for the name of this game for more than 15 years, after I saw the jacket while roaming around in a market as I was a kid ! You healed an mental scar in my brain, I cannot thank you enough for that !
Simultaneously surprised and not that it took this long. People mention Geist all the time for the whole Nintendo published M rated game thing; Civvie is the first person I’ve seen talk about the actual game.
As an owner of a GameCube I can say with 100% certainty that this game looks great with the weird voodoo violence you had to evoke to get this running on a PC. Thank you, Civvie!
Is it that hard to get running? In my experience with Dolphin games pretty much just work. Of course there are exceptions and I haven't tried to play this game (or heard of it)
@@sean8102 Last time I tried (and is still listed on the Dolphin Wiki page for this game as a known problem), Geist had issues with random graphical opcode errors that would bring up an in-emulator error dialogue and crash the game. They didn't seem so consistent that the game would be unplayable start-to-finish, but certainly makes it more of a pain to play. Though, there's a report on that aforementioned wiki page that mentions they encountered no errors at all, and it doesn't _seem_ like Civvie did in the process of recording this. Perhaps it depends on your computer setup, or there's some magic combination of settings that gets Geist to be stable, or the Dolphin team just fixed shit unknowingly in the time since I tried playing it. And for my personal experience, when I tried playing this Dolphin had an issue at the time where _any_ error that would bring up a pop-up dialogue would crash the emulator entirely if you were in fullscreen, so that could've been my issue; it only says that it "eventually" causes a crash if you keep playing.
I've been considering emulation to get around some of the difficulties that come with aging original hardware and the increasing scarcity of games. Maybe I just have bad luck or my computer isn't up to snuff, but I have worse times with GameCube emulators than just about any other kind of virtual console. Also, I end up going back to the console because a GameCube is just about the easiest piece of machinery there is to do home repairs and maintenance.
Okay I dont know if anyone will read this, but all the voice acting for this game was done by a group of radio station hosts from Orlando Florida specifically Real Radio 104.1, which was in the same office building where the developers of this game were also working out of. The guy who tells you the mission briefing at the beginning is voiced by Carlos Nevaro. He recently has been in The Walking Dead and Hawkeye. I know him personally and its wild to me that a bunch of my families friends are in this cult gamecube game just because they didnt wanna pay real voice actors.
Holy Shit, Civvie. The Carmack descriptions never cease from granting a happy. I was just watching through some of your old stuff yesterday and wondering when we would be blessed with another upload. Hope the Office of Special Corrections aren't being too hard on you.
Considering I'm mostly here to see Cancer Mouse have bad things happen to him, getting possessed by a demon is only an improvement to me. Also Happy Halloween, Civvie
The Gamecube's library has always kind of felt like the output of a really obscure band that, for the most part, is entirely justified in being forgotten by the public but that did put out one absolute banger of an album where every single track did groundbreaking things you can still find traces of in the genre to this day.
Even though I owned a PS2 at the time I really do have a lot of respect for the GameCube. Some of the games on the system still look pretty good thanks to it being more powerful than the PS2. Really Nintendo being Nintendo and not including a DVD drive probably hurt the console as that was a big selling point of the PS2.
Civvie, you're one of the best on youtube. Your videos are so consistently great and I always look forward to them. That was uncomfortably sincere for me.

@@techmouse. Crash Bandicoot doing that look back at the camera with the eyebrows is when he jumps on top of the critters (the boar in the first game, Polar in the second, the tiger and the dinosaur in the third) to ride them and he looks like he's about to fuck them.
This game is like somebody played a bunch of Wraith the Oblivion, got really pissed off that Orpheus ruined its ending in 2004, and then decided to make a Sci-Fi homage to the setting. I love it.
I always felt that this game and Eternal Darkness were critically underrated and forgotten by Nintendo, so its very nice to see you cover this game, I love it a lot!
Both are still stuck on GameCube. Although I think Eternal Darkness was sold digitally on the Wii before Nintendo shut down the online store. Hoping both eventually get remastered like Metroid Prime and Paper Mario GC.
This and Second Sight were my childhood favorite's games it pains me that games like this arent made more often, where shooting is secondary to the puzzles. Mind you I got really good at the shooting parts mostly because I played Judge Dredd on Game cube.
As a person who worked upscale retail liquor in a faux new money part of the suburbs and having to deal with allocated burboun collectors, the Buffalo Trace as a pity joke hit me so hard. Pure catharsis. Thank you, Civvie
Civvie you have no idea what this means to me. I have been fucking haunted by this game, it always existed in my mind but i could never recall the name, and when I did it would remove itself from my memories again. Im so glad this game really exists and is not just me slipping into psychosis.
An untapped genre. First game I can think of that did something like it was the cult classic 'The Haunting (Starring Poulterguy) on the Genesis from EA.'
There was also a somewhat similar game reviewed by Accursed Farms (Ross Scott, of the Freeman's Mind fame), called "Messiah", though that was a christmas special.
@@Gatorade69 IDK when it came out but Avenging Spirit on the Game Boy has a mechanic where you can possess most enemies, and your energy drains quickly when you're outside a body. It's a pretty fun game.
Bruh, I cannot believe Civvie made a Geist video before me ... that shit was my favorite $9 BlockBuster Video game the multiplayer was lit, unlocking all the secret characters were so cool, I loved getting instant kills playing as a chef that throws plates
Yes! Someone remembers this game! I remember renting this game twice from Blockbuster as a kid and I always got stuck on the motorcycle chase turret section. Wonderful game for what I played.
@@magmos6346 No, there's not. I really don't like the idea that just because a game is old, you can spoil it; Because everyone has played every old game in existence? Completely irrational. And before anyone tells me that I didn't play it; I did. I've beaten it a few times, love its shooting due to a mouse injector patch, so I play against bots in multiplayer semi-frequently.
This game looks like it took a huge dose of inspiration from, _YOU CALL YOURSELF THE MESSIAH?_ Which is neat! And super neat that Ross made a review of that game, so if you watch that one, and then this, Halloween is saved! \o/ Yowly Boi!
The eldritch abomination that lives in my pillow took time off from tormenting me so we could both watch Civvie! Thank you Civvie! Also jesus christ this makes me feel old.
The fact that I was just thinking about this game today and how much fun I had with it but couldn't remember the name and then here comes Civvie just smacking me in the face with nostalgia is... creepily coincidental. I'm... pretty sure Civvie didn't possess me
Oh my gosh. Thank you soooooooooo much for legit validating my childhood. For the longest time i thought this was a fever dream i had as a kid. I'm so glad that this game is a real thing. You're the best civvie❤❤❤❤
One of my all - time wish list games goes through Civvie's dungeon. This, Killer 7 and Eternal Darkness were just some wacky awesome titles that made the purple lunchbox an oddball classic. Civvie coming through with a Halloween miracle.
One of my favorites, the possesion mechanic was so well made, also I remember getting together with some school friends when i was a kid and playing split screen of this, Metroid Prime 2, and TimeSplitters 2 GOD WE LOVED TIMESPLITTERS 2!,
I played this game as a kid and for the longest time I thought I hallucinated it because nobody talked about it or ever mentioned it. I'm glad I somehow came back to the timeline where this game exist.
I feel like Gamecube/PS2/Xbox era was the last era when it was normal to have a range of target budgets coning out of major publishers. You had big expensive tentpole games, cheap budget games, and interesting mid-range ideas like Geist, all on the store shelf next to each other.
I picked up a copy of this game on Gamecube when I was in my early teens because a childhood friend had a copy of it and I was always enamored by the "be a spooky ghost man in a resident evil lab" vibe the game had, and the character's name "Raimi" always stuck with me because of the little girl ghost in the tutorial.
Got rejected from another job today after spending hours going through a bunch of tests and interviews. This video is exactly what I need after a day like this.
Ive had an idea for a crossover/cameo. Have Civvie's computer flip out and Sallie pops up saying incoming message, then Indemaus pops up saying hes found a way to break Civvie out of containment. Then the screen just goes black and Cancer mouse says "There's only enough room for one mouse"
Having the balls to throw the "If you dont want me to do it my way, give me a high way" argument at Nintendo, Civvie has reminded me why I subbed after his initial completion of Apocalypse Weekend. Blessed be he who uses good business tactics and solid points.

Amen. Hope next week is better for you :) and Happy Haloweeen!
@@sean8102 much appreciated my friend. Happy Halloween
As a person who worked upscale retail liquor in a faux new money part of the suburbs and having to deal with allocated burboun collectors, the Buffalo Trace as a pity joke hit me so hard. Pure catharsis. Thank you, Civvie
Civvie you have no idea what this means to me. I have been fucking haunted by this game, it always existed in my mind but i could never recall the name, and when I did it would remove itself from my memories again. Im so glad this game really exists and is not just me slipping into psychosis.
I'm glad to see this game is as good as I remember it from my childhood.
Man, Civvie, and Mandalore both introduced me to a sub-genre I didn't even know existed until now; Poltergeist.
An untapped genre.
First game I can think of that did something like it was the cult classic 'The Haunting (Starring Poulterguy) on the Genesis from EA.'
There was also a somewhat similar game reviewed by Accursed Farms (Ross Scott, of the Freeman's Mind fame), called "Messiah", though that was a christmas special.
@@Gatorade69 IDK when it came out but Avenging Spirit on the Game Boy has a mechanic where you can possess most enemies, and your energy drains quickly when you're outside a body. It's a pretty fun game.
@@Gatorade69Try the game "Messiah" on GOG.
Bruh, I cannot believe Civvie made a Geist video before me ... that shit was my favorite $9 BlockBuster Video game
the multiplayer was lit, unlocking all the secret characters were so cool, I loved getting instant kills playing as a chef that throws plates
There's also Samus Aran's helmet in one of the lockers.
Bitchin’.
Yes! Someone remembers this game! I remember renting this game twice from Blockbuster as a kid and I always got stuck on the motorcycle chase turret section. Wonderful game for what I played.
Geist is a fascinating game that performs admirably until the last eighth of the game or so, and I'm glad it's getting more recognition.
AH CRAP-
"OH YEAH THERES MY M RATING" *Cuts out the raining blood and limbs*
Civvie has a talent in uploading a video the exact moment you start wondering when would civvie upload a new video again
Tired: First person shooters
Wired: First person haunters
You know it's a good game, when the dog lives by the end.
Spoilers dude
don't read comments before watching the video, dude. rookie mistake.@@MossB87
@@MossB87 Dude, there's a statuette of limitations on this thing. This game is old enough to freaking vote.
And don't forget the lack of a blatant sequel hook, unlike its contemporary Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.
@@magmos6346 No, there's not. I really don't like the idea that just because a game is old, you can spoil it; Because everyone has played every old game in existence? Completely irrational.
And before anyone tells me that I didn't play it; I did. I've beaten it a few times, love its shooting due to a mouse injector patch, so I play against bots in multiplayer semi-frequently.
The katamari sequence made me smile uncontrollably, thank you Civvie.
This game looks like it took a huge dose of inspiration from,
_YOU CALL YOURSELF THE MESSIAH?_
Which is neat! And super neat that Ross made a review of that game, so if you watch that one, and then this, Halloween is saved! \o/
Yowly Boi!
Was thinking that with all the possessions, but no machines though.
Since we're emulating I'd love an episode on Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. It has possession- too!
The eldritch abomination that lives in my pillow took time off from tormenting me so we could both watch Civvie! Thank you Civvie! Also jesus christ this makes me feel old.
Calling on Jesus helps keep the eldritch abominations at bay
The fact that I was just thinking about this game today and how much fun I had with it but couldn't remember the name and then here comes Civvie just smacking me in the face with nostalgia is... creepily coincidental. I'm... pretty sure Civvie didn't possess me
"Can't leave without my buddy superfly" got me so good 😂
We, the audience, do in fact love the pestilent rodent!
Much love from Germany, Civvie
HAHAHA The scared guy with the blood filled sink made a RTCW German scream. Love those stock sounds!
If only Civvie used the flamethrower weapon at least once for Geist.
And the freed soldier made a hurt Doomguy noise lol
More cancer mouse please, cancer mouse #1 fan
Everybody has a game that civvie covers that was an enormous part of their childhood. Geist, for me, is that game. Let the memories flow
Isn't this Messiah?
Oh my gosh. Thank you soooooooooo much for legit validating my childhood. For the longest time i thought this was a fever dream i had as a kid. I'm so glad that this game is a real thing. You're the best civvie❤❤❤❤
One of my all - time wish list games goes through Civvie's dungeon. This, Killer 7 and Eternal Darkness were just some wacky awesome titles that made the purple lunchbox an oddball classic.
Civvie coming through with a Halloween miracle.
Civvie, you are a comedic genius. Thank you for sharing your craft with the world (also thank you to Katie for her amazing edits and additions).
I had this game very underrated. The multi-player is also a hidden gem.
One of my favorites, the possesion mechanic was so well made, also I remember getting together with some school friends when i was a kid and playing split screen of this, Metroid Prime 2, and TimeSplitters 2 GOD WE LOVED TIMESPLITTERS 2!,
Agreed! Civvie, Pro Timesplitters when?
yeah TimeSplitters when Civvie?
I like how even the demon possessing Cancer Mouse doesn't want to hear his shit.
Man, I really love that ball monster. Reminds me of a roided-up hermit crab. I burst out laughing when it showed up the second time.
possessed puking cancer mouse was unexpected that I for some reason burst into laughter XD
Even bosses love Katamari
Yooooo I loved geist as a kid and knew exactly ZERO other people who even knew what it was. This video... Christmas must have come early.
I played this game as a kid and for the longest time I thought I hallucinated it because nobody talked about it or ever mentioned it. I'm glad I somehow came back to the timeline where this game exist.
"THE HANDSHAKE WAS PLOT RELEVANT." killed me, that's it that's how you earn a sub
a nice memory from my gamecube era
Same. I remember playing this when I was 10 and I stopped being scared of ghosts, wanting to be one instead.
This is very out-there and creative. I’m impressed.
Mace Griffin’s Bounty Hunter when?
I love how even the demon inside cancer mouse doesn't want to hear about whatever cancer mouse was about to say.
I feel like Gamecube/PS2/Xbox era was the last era when it was normal to have a range of target budgets coning out of major publishers. You had big expensive tentpole games, cheap budget games, and interesting mid-range ideas like Geist, all on the store shelf next to each other.
this is the last damn thing i expected on this channel. after everything that has happened on this channel, THIS is what i was not ready for
This video made me laugh more at Repossessed references than I laugh at the actual movie
Hey Civvie, please consider covering Half Life: Echoes for HL's 25th anniversary. Amazing mod. Words cant do it justice.
I picked up a copy of this game on Gamecube when I was in my early teens because a childhood friend had a copy of it and I was always enamored by the "be a spooky ghost man in a resident evil lab" vibe the game had, and the character's name "Raimi" always stuck with me because of the little girl ghost in the tutorial.
So, Gigi's ghost form is colored green. Huh...
_"Where did she learn to be a ghost?"_
Also, Cancer Mouse is back! Yeah, radiation!
20:25 Should have added a “DEMONIC PRESENCE AT UNSAFE LEVELS” soundbite here, imo.
Got rejected from another job today after spending hours going through a bunch of tests and interviews. This video is exactly what I need after a day like this.
You too huh
Been a lot of that lately. Stay strong, brother.
im old and have been at my job that i enjoy for 17 years. This is exactly what I need after a day like this
I remember having tons of fun with this.
Wow, most of the sound effects are from the iconic "General 6000" sfx collection. Love it!
This genre was one of those wierd experiments in video game industry. Messiah, Geist, Driver SF.
Ive had an idea for a crossover/cameo. Have Civvie's computer flip out and Sallie pops up saying incoming message, then Indemaus pops up saying hes found a way to break Civvie out of containment. Then the screen just goes black and Cancer mouse says "There's only enough room for one mouse"
@27:46 is that a Diakatana reference to Superfly? Excellent. Omg and then Katamari Diamase later. Nice.
Geist has such an incredible premise. It is quite unique.
It's Haunting starring Polterguy meets Messiah. Great game, still got my copy.
16:53 oh... so you're Rob Schneider.
33:23 (looks at 2020 on up to today) "Well how did _that_ work out?!"
Having the balls to throw the "If you dont want me to do it my way, give me a high way" argument at Nintendo, Civvie has reminded me why I subbed after his initial completion of Apocalypse Weekend. Blessed be he who uses good business tactics and solid points.
Fun fact: Civvie's prison is actually a sub division of the Reverse Pentagon.
here i am within ten minutes of launch, a day after a horrible event in my life. thank you civvie. i needed something like this.
stay strong fam
Hang in there friend.
It too will pass.
Happy Halloween, Civvie.
May you receive some mini bottles of Jack when you go trick or treating in the correctional facility.
I love this game. It's Resident Evil in first person. The same kind of puzzles and slow methodical progression, with a horror aesthetic.
This game actually looks really interesting! I hope Night Dive out someone else can give this a remaster. I'd love to play it
