Αh you have been chosen, your video is the one that shall play in roughly 15-20 minute segments for the next week or so as I'm trying to doze off to sleep.
I love how every Funger video essay has its own take on the phenomenal games but one thing stays the same, the theme that you're a small, insignificant, and mostly powerless being that should be considered lucky that you survived the experience of the dungeons
This is going into a trifecta with the worm girl video and the super eye patch wolf video. This one is like an anylysis of the game itself, worm girls is a possible story that could've happened, and eyepatch wolf is just how it feels playing the game. It's all great
Starting an hour and a half long FUNGER video essay with VIVALDI is exactly what I needed. Thank you kind sir I shall be enjoying every minute of this.
Congratulations. The algorithm has chosen you to be the Video Essay I will try to watch as I fall asleep. (I will keep rewatching until i get through the whole thing)
Me after finding the little girl: Objective added: 1. Protect Child! 2. Get child out of dungeon alive. 3. Find Le'garde or whatever he is not the child.
Ive never heard of you Not Saber. But this was one of the most enjoyable TH-cam videos I've listened to. You have a new subscriber, looking forwards to seeing more
And here right after your SOMA video. Wow you're good. I love this take on F&H. Other takes talked about the grimdark character analysis, but I really like this look at the world specifically. Thank you!
Highly enjoyable and intellectually stimulating video. Thank you. I’d recommend delving into more cult like games in your videos as these are the audiences that specifically search for any vids covering them. Many come to mind, like just recently the ‘no, I’m not human’ game.
32:57 Hold up. Since when were there encounters and facets of the game that are only unlocked with a low Mind score? This on top of the seemingly circular video dialogue really makes it sound like the script was written by a generative language learning model (AI). It might just be me, but there is thematic irony in the unfortunate state we live in that the integrity and authenticity of content can be so thoroughly questioned, not unlike a protagonist in a Clark Ashton Smith or Arthur Machen story.
Rereading my comments, this sounds pretty dickish. This video does provide a great generalist yet thoroug look at Fear & Hunger. I haven't seen something so concise in its assessment of F&H. I've been working on a trans-media exploration of trauma and body horror and already wrote up a a couple sections on Funger and fr some of the big points are the same (co-contructing lore, lack of autonomy, and the lingering affect embodied from playing the game) even if I don't directly touch on cosmic horror at all.
Feedback, hope it helps: plz cut the parts where you say what you’re going to be saying - “in this video we’ll do x, y, z” - the script has a surprising amount of lines like this and I think they can all be removed, it would make the vid much better. Thx for the video!
I knew someone would point it out 😭😭😭 I noticed near the end of editing I was saying it wrong but I'd come so far I just wanted to finish lmfao. Glad you enjoyed despite that tho :D
Awesome video game essay, the intro hook me and took me to a great ride till the end. Your narrative, chapters section and everything else was meticulously done in your video, this speaks volume of your love for the game. Awesome work and thank you so much! Surely both old and new gods have acknowledged you!
Oh, yes... I definitely NEVER im my life hear about funger, and for sure don't know about it. Khm... Nevermind, sorry about my sarcasm. You done a massive job, resulting in great video. Unique, as i can say... Seriously. Make more, my friend, you did amazing job
I've always wondered what knowledge could possibly be enough to drive someone insane, or if like, perhaps the borders of insanity are simply different for different people. Especially as someone who suffers from mental illness and has been through mental break downs. Like, Perhaps, was the reveal that the true nature of the gods is intrinsically linked into everything, so there's never truly been a 'you'? Or maybe that the old gods simply exist in a dimension we cannot perceive, so forcing a human's mind to open beyond what it can comprehend, allowing it to see past the boundaries of one's reality, utterly overwhelmed every sense to the point of going into shock? I could probably die from overstimulation to that degree, or at very least drop into a coma until I could begin to process or lock it away, but something more existential as all of us being simply puppets played on different hands probably couldn't have that effect. That'd just be like, an, 'oh, cool'. Sorta thing. It'd be funny if the reveal to the player's character was that they are in fact in a game, and they've been repeating and repeating this whole adventure, millions of times, as people play the game. It makes no difference what they do. They never really had a choice anyway. They are, truly, nothing. Just a faint charge of electricity in a circuit.
Also! I didn't really think you suffered too bad with repeating things or missing details, I really enjoyed this entire essay and it definitely gave the whole vibe of a project you actually cared about reporting on. Very fun, very cool, and the writing was entertaining. Plus, you have an excellent voice. Definitely subscribing so I can catch future content you put out :) Honestly, my only recommendation would be to lower the volume of section-switching or sound effect sounds to around the same level as your voice, they did make me jump once or twice.
Fantastic video, seen a lot of videos on F&H and yours really stands out. Visceral and engaging. Can't wait to see what else is next from your channel.
Great video. I had some similar thoughts the other day when thinking about why this game works so well, cosmic horror as a game mechanic. I'm looking forward to playing the 2nd one but I feel there's still so much to explore in the 1st.
I'm so looking forward to watching this. and a gift of over an hours worth of content, thank you very much kind Sir. Like others have said, we're eating GOOD! Here before 100k
I’m always down for some Funger appreciation. I’m playing the game with my dad and honestly it really changes the experience… Also I can without exaggerating say this game cured my daddy issues.
@@NotSaberFrr yeah XD my dad was intrigued when he overheard me watching a video which called it “unfair” so I thought why not, we played games when I was a young kid so why not bring that back. My dad is the kind of guy to remain completely calm in a horror situation or attack the big bad in the middle of their monologue during a TTRPG
With how much you seem to enjoy discussing themes and genres, I have to wonder if you’ve played the NieR games or even Drakengard. If not, there is certainly something for you there
I'm pretty sure everyone has heard about Fear & Hunger at this point, there are a dozen hours-long essays about it on my frontpage every week. It seems like it really speaks to a lot of people, I'm just not sure why everyone seems to also think no one else has heard of/played it.
You're a creator I always leave an immediate like for because your content is always above expectation. Very excited that this one is for Fear and Hunger
@@NotSaberFrrI mean... Funger was obscure for the majority of its existence, no? The insane popularity is a recent development, so I think it still qualifies!
it was a good essay, but may I say you tend to repeat yourself quite a bit, not only the repetition of terms but repetition of past ideas already told. But again, it was a good essay.
Thanks for the video! Enjoyed it a lot. I am a big fan of anything related to HPLs world and creations, and was NOT aware of this game. So thanks! I am in Europe and in my country, the game is not available (findable) on Steam. So I bought it from itch and after only dabbling with it a few minutes (and dieing to those dogs and the guard with the hammerhands), I am hooked by the atmosphere and the goal of finding out more. So thanks!!
I was introduced to your channel roughly a month ago when i saw your video on hope in dark souls and its awesome seeing you consistently get thousands of views on the last few, you deserve it and so much more. Plus i just beat funger for the first time recently so this is fantastic timing lol >:]
Cosmic horror of the sort that is concerned things that are impossible to comprehend is actually impossible to express. It is supposed to speak of things that are impossible to describe because they violate the very way our "hardware" is constructed to make sense of reality, such that no there is no "software update" that can make up for it. Such cosmic horror always claim that such things are impossible to describe, yet always does. Its premise makes even writing about it impossible.
>Implying anyone doesn't know about Fear & Hunger Anyone playing vidya last year heard about it, and folks who like horror films knew about it as well.
An hour and a half video essay on my favourite game by a creator ive never heard about??? were eating GOOD tonight
More video essays for the God of Video Essays 🙏🙏🙏
So real ❤
Yesssiiiirrrrrrrr! *slams fork and knife on table repeatedly*
this person has a F&H2:T profile picture, yet has "never heard about" F&H1... okay.
@@mashtonish they never said they have never heard of F&H.
Αh you have been chosen, your video is the one that shall play in roughly 15-20 minute segments for the next week or so as I'm trying to doze off to sleep.
@thegramerunits it's truly an honor 🫡🫡🫡
oh me thats me
I see you're one of my people. Good, let us celebrate this content dinner together
My people
Glad I’m not the only one. Hard to find videos without random shouting to fall asleep to these days.
I love how every Funger video essay has its own take on the phenomenal games but one thing stays the same, the theme that you're a small, insignificant, and mostly powerless being that should be considered lucky that you survived the experience of the dungeons

Peak music for a peak game is only deserved
@@NotSaberFrr rite of spring next
Exactly my thoughts as I began the video
Congratulations. The algorithm has chosen you to be the Video Essay I will try to watch as I fall asleep. (I will keep rewatching until i get through the whole thing)
twinning with you rn!!
Cthulhu still owes me 5 bux but everytime I call him he's "sleeping".
You remineded me very early in the video that the developer behind this game is Finnish and that already explained everything
There's gotta be a reason why we as viewers/sleepers try to find videos like *this* to fall asleep to... But yeah same me too
Dog. I’ve been waiting for a video essay about fear and hungry and finally, I found one that’s good
Me after finding the little girl:
Objective added:
1. Protect Child!
2. Get child out of dungeon alive.
3. Find Le'garde or whatever he is not the child.
Step 2 is easy said than done lmfao :)
4. Help Child ascend to godhood.
editting that first part must have been a chore i needed to watch it again 3 times
The one I DIDN'T know about? Liar! Just like all the rest of the Lore channels, you're now being added to my bedtime story mix!
Oh another Fear and Hunger video Essay. PERFECT
Love seeing such a well done video from a smaller creator, this is really good mate
O shit, new video essay channel recommend to deep dive into, and starting with one of my favorite franchises, too! Sweet XD
YOU didn't know about, it's years i am into this hell
I can't tell if ur either really into funger, don't like the title or really don't like funger
@@aye4965 congratulations, none of the three, nice video tho
@@gabrieleduville2497 lmao T^T
Ive never heard of you Not Saber. But this was one of the most enjoyable TH-cam videos I've listened to. You have a new subscriber, looking forwards to seeing more
The only real place I felt this look was lacking was it's lack of coverage of the S endings exclusive to Hard Mode.
And here right after your SOMA video. Wow you're good. I love this take on F&H. Other takes talked about the grimdark character analysis, but I really like this look at the world specifically.
Thank you!
Using music from Cult of the lamb (another game which also features eldrich horrors that predate even the gods) is a really nice touch
My dream is creating my own game someday but devs of games like this one really intimidate me with their talent.
Start small is my advice.
You've given me more Fear and Hunger content, and for that I thank you 🙏
🔥🔥🔥🔥 WAKE UP BABE A NEW GUNGER AND FUNGER VIDEO JUST DROPPED 🗣🗣🗣🗣
Mfw when I too gunger to funger 🤯🤯🤯
Too Fungry
@@Kholan95 Too Gungerious
46:00 there's some kind of editing mistake here, that makes this sentence repeat part of itself.
if a god of anything asks me a question im answering back "why do you want to know?"
"wouldn't you like to know weather boy."
Another cosmic horrish game is Frostpunk. I LOVE how that game makes you feel so insignificant, using weather.
My ringtone is Vivaldi’s Winter and this opening had me very confused
This was one of the best breakdowns about why existential horror is so scary I've ever seen, and I'm only halfway through the video. Amazing job!
Glad you enjoyed it! :D
River Boy in the background isn't lost on me ❤
An hour an a half video talking about my favourite topic? on my favourite game? By a channel i never heard about? In this economy?
i know all about this game because i keep getting sent videos about it every year with the title that ive never heard of it
this title is mad funny in current year
Maybe the scariests medieval fantasy horror game ever made.
Genuinely (not that there's too much competition lmfao)
I appreciate the use of Cult of the Lamb music, two of my favorite games
Highly enjoyable and intellectually stimulating video. Thank you.
I’d recommend delving into more cult like games in your videos as these are the audiences that specifically search for any vids covering them. Many come to mind, like just recently the ‘no, I’m not human’ game.
Great video, I don’t think Ive heard the word cosmic this many times in my entire lifetime but other than that great video
Cosmic!!!

32:57 Hold up. Since when were there encounters and facets of the game that are only unlocked with a low Mind score?
This on top of the seemingly circular video dialogue really makes it sound like the script was written by a generative language learning model (AI).

IMO Miro's Funger to us is as William Blake's sublime works were to his time.
Feedback, hope it helps: plz cut the parts where you say what you’re going to be saying - “in this video we’ll do x, y, z” - the script has a surprising amount of lines like this and I think they can all be removed, it would make the vid much better. Thx for the video!
Prelude starting with the classical music is a master chef kiss and cherry on top for this video
Vivaldi's Winter. Check him out. He hasn't dropped an album in a while though.
@jimijenkins2548 brother i know his album, "four seaons" nooo worries 😎
thank you kind sir fir this video essay, I will now watch it at double speed and tune it out
