Relax with The Stranger | Darkwood ASMR
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ก.ค. 2024
- It's night, and you find yourself in a hideout in the woods with an individual known only as The Stranger, where you will be trying to survive the night against the denizens of the forest that are coming for you!
For those of you new to my channel and/or this video game, I portray the main playable character of Darkwood while exploring the sounds of various objects (aka ASMR triggers) to create an atmosphere and experience that is meant for relaxing, studying, sleep, and hopefully to trigger the ASMR sensation.

I know I'm like 8 years late to the party, but I just finally got around to playing this gem of a game. This idea is about 2-3 months in the making, first taking root back around September/October (2021). I had to play through the entire game first (with plenty of save scumming). Then I had to gather some props (hat, boards, table leg, some skeleton keys..). Some I already own (gas can, coat, syringe, shovel, axe, journal, nails..). Some I had to make (cut the hat, hammer nails into the board, paint an egg red, weird cross with hot glue, branches & mud). I thought about voicing the character using an Eastern European accent, but it sounded too much like Corvus & Comrade Yuri (my other characters) so I opted not to.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it, especially if you're a fan of the game like myself!

This time you commented quickly
A musician or trader asmr would be so cool to watch low key
you
This video is everything I’ve ever wanted!!!! I love Darkwood so much!
Now…..
Imagine…. if you will….
A asmr let’s play of Darkwood with the Stranger or Corvus.
I knew you would love this game! I'm so excited!
Yea, I can see the Stranger gently tapping on his AK to keep himself calm as he guns down an entire horde of burning corpses dashing towards him
Jaded, but not completely gone
Checks out
Bro just be quiet 🤫
Built different
Never would I have imagined I would see The Stranger giving an ASMR treatment, in accurate clothing, gear and in-game anomalies.
But here we are. Impressive to say the least.
dude, the fact that you could turn a game like this into ASMR just shows how good you are at your job.
Anything can be ASMR..
Well, darkwood has _some_ ASMR to it. Of course in a creepy way
He turned Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" into ASMR
I think ER turned pretty much everything into ASMR at this point :)))
@@Abyssal_Eel agreed
So hype for this. Darkwood is a hell of a game and I don't see much recognition for it! Thanks ER
I just had to look it up because I’ve never heard of it- it sounds really great if the description on Wikipedia is anything to go by 😆
Definitely needs to be played more. Very underrated or under the radar game. I hope there will be a continuation of this classic.
@@torakfett3351 it’s technically free if you really wanna give it a go; the devs put it up on some website because of steam key re-sale drama
@@jeremycorbin2178 will look into it! Thanks for the heads up!
@@torakfett3351 It's a grim fairytale told in an enchanting way in a modern medium. If you have the grit for the survival-game mentality it wants you to adopt you'll find yourself immersed in no time, enjoy mate!
The sound of your fingers brushing the mic combined with the close-up walkie made a sound almost like whispers coming in over the static. Frightening yet tingly.
I wasn’t the only one? Phew.
That wasn't his fingers, either ER layered those whispers or that was an evp.
Turn it up louder, he added the sound of himself whispering
This is my all-time favorite horror game and probably one of the best ones out there. I have yet to come across another horror game that is genuinely terrifying and is not just cheap jumpscares. Getting through the night is the scariest thing ever, especially your first playthrough because you have no clue what all the sounds are. Well done ER
Try debris or any other psychological horror
Yeah so far Darkwood has nailed horror through the gameplay and sound design
Try Visage! Amazing game
And whacking everything with a shovel is a bonus!
@@jadenharrison6887 I feel like all that game was was walking around a house
This had to come eventually, Darkwood is a perfect fit for your style
Agreed

dude this is awesome darkwood is like actually my favorite horror game ever
You sir are a treasure to humanity
Just the other day I was thinking "what if ER did a darkwood asmr?" and BAM
Thanks for this awesome Christmas gift
ER seems like he would be a genuine friend, literally offering a simple piece of wire, as if it could be really useful. I hope he leads a happy life. 💯
Wire has many uses
ER as an npc sounds super cool
now we're bound to see that red egg buried in a shelf of props in the next video with the Professor. maybe even attached to a certain red string...
The fact that rift used polish notes just shows how detailed his videos are and how much he cares, most creators wouldn’t bother with that.
I love this. Darkwood doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
Nice, definitely wasn't waiting for it, but damn, the nostalgia is kicking in! Such a game
YES DARKWOOD! God I am so happy, I loved playing Darkwood and I am geeking out right now! Thanks ER! 😁
I’ve been waiting for this for days
I wish ER and everyone seeing this, happy Christmas :D
You to mate 🍻🥳
This game is amazing, I'm not a skilled or experienced gamer personally but I loved watching playthroughs of it
It's a very good and anxiety inducing romp.
Shaking my head so hard during the part about the wedding invite.
My parents told me to never talk to strangers, but never said anything about listening to one talk.
No way, I was just looking for darkwood asmr yesterday. You're the best!
Makes me want to become one with the Darkwood.
This was awesome, E! I found myself immersed in this world throughout the video. At 24:19, there is something heard that cannot be understood, which adds to the mystery of this place! I will have to play Darkwood, it looks terrifying and I love that! Great job!
Give it a go, it's very engaging when you get the hang of it
Thank you so much sir, Darkroom has been one of my favorite games for years and I'm so glad there's some asmr of it now
Glad you enjoyed the game. It is my favourite indie horror game no cheap jumpscares just a great creepy atmosphere. They absolutely nailed the balance between the horror through the night and the calmness and endless time during the morning.
OH MY GOD, YES.
I love this game so much, played through it probably half a year ago. I can't even begin to explain my excitement upon reading the title.
Damn I had totally forgotten about dark wood, that was a trippy ass game but I loved it so much. The mystery and strategy and battle mechanics. Plus all the characters and decisions.
I watched Markiplier finish this game a while back and it remains as one of my favorite playthroughs ever. Glad to see ER likes it as well!
OH MY GOD, this is just so well made! The sounds of the monsters, the ambience is just perfectly edited. I say nothing about the pictures, and the various items because they were made just perfectly. I say nothing else, because it’s just perfect
OMG, SO EXCITED! Played this little gem so many times to see all the branching paths, and I always thought a lot of people missed out on this one. Hoped you would you would stumbleupon Darkwood, to see what creative twist you would put on a video, and it seems like Christmas came a little early this go around for me. Happy Holidays and I hope you're being jolly. From Eddie Family.
I love the subtle story that played out through this whole thing, kept me so damn hooked here.
Bro, incredibly awesome hahaha
The wild noises in the background remind me of how tense the nights in this game are!
I've been fascinated by Darkwood for quite some time, it has such a good atmosphere... plus, as a horror thing, despite my love of places with lots of trees I've always had a fear of forests at night. I can't play Darkwood myself because I'm easily intimidated by challenging games, but I've certainly enjoyed watching playthroughs. It falls in a weird place where it's both intense, but also relaxing for me to watch and listen to, so I've actually fallen asleep to the game itself before. xD
This game was absolute perfection, great seeing you work with it to make something perfect as well ^^
ER you are like a dad I never had, you also do epic and creative asmr, merry upcoming christmas!
This is one of my favorites, I fall asleep to it a few times a week. I love the tapping sound on the axe, it feels like wrapping my tired brain up in a warm and cozy blanket.
another great video. this man is one of the best parts of TH-cam hands DOWN
For the release of Resident Evil 4 VR on the Oculus Quest 2, maybe you should do the Stranger from that game! Maybe some weapon and firearm tingles, some first-aid tingles, and some treasure tingles. "Got some rare things on sale, stranger."
Man, I am so happy that someone turned this into an ASMR, thank you. I am saving this video to go to not just cause of length, but because of the amount of care went into character cosplay and the amount of triggers are in this. Once again, thanks ER!!
Thank you so much for this!! Every video of yours I can see the passion and effort you put into relaxing us ❤ happy holidays!!!
This is amazing and unexpected. love the sound design in that game and you did an amazing job!
OMG I JUST GOT INTO THIS GAME!!! I can not express how surprised and happy I am too see this in my sub feed!
Congratulations on 1 million rift. I remember back when I was but a high school student and you were at less than a quarter of where you are now. You deserve it man your hard work has done so much for so many of us to fight off the stress life throws at us.
The effort put into these videos is incredible nobody does it better.
NO FREAKING WAY, unexpected and I love it!
Rewatching this multiple times to fully enjoy it!
Oh yes, this is is a treat.
I really love the magazine part. Beautiful
I love jerry can sounds, its so nice to hear the little sloshing
your ideas are so amazing!
i love your asmr creativity
I love these sort of videos as a video game nerd and a ASMR lover it's the perfect mix 😌
Gave me the motivation to do another run of this game, awesome roleplay!
The content of this video pleases my eyes as well as my ears. I really enjoyed it.😀👍👍
I've been hyped for this !
Finally some more Darkwood recognition
Darkwood is genuinely one of my favorite games this makes me so happy.
I love when you integrate stories like this with the different characters, using the soft voice👍
I really appreciate the effort of making a video of this niche (but nice) game
Excellently executed E, great job I love getting notifs for your videos
Entertaining and relaxing. Thank you for your time to focus and work on this project. Best of the season to you and your RL clan Rift!! Peace...
Beautiful and atmospheric as usual!
I’m vecwatched this for 4 days in a row and still haven’t made it halfway through good job mate
Darkwood ASMR?? What a treat!! Thank you ER ♡♡
Really awesome, loved the sound effects
This is truly amazing
Was just pulling up your channel to get a video to sleep to when i got the notification. Talk about perfect timing!
Thank you for such great ASMR video inspired by one of my favorite game of all time!
Just finished 100%'ing it over 3 playthroughs. Such a good game. The sound design is some of the best I've ever experienced
I really appreciate the quality of all your work, but for whatever reason this one just fired on all cylinders. 11/10 production quality, the sound design alone is insanely good, and the overall comfyness of this video makes it an instant classic. I just keep watching it over and over.
Thanks Uncle E
WHAT? WHY HAVE I ONLY JUST SEEN THIS? I love this game!! So glad to see you doing something with it! :D
Relaxing with The Stranger is okay, but for me, it is the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich.
I admire your dedication
I truly believe this man is a bot
Honestly it's the only thing I get from McDonalds anymore
I love your videos . It’s a nice environment with good people. Anybody can come sit and watch and relax. I love the content
I have been a fan of yours for a while. Great content and creativity. Thank you for sharing this with us so we can keep getting more enjoyment and relaxation. Happy holidays :)
Your videos are some of the most diverse and interesting ASMR out there, I love how you bring such vareity and constant quality to your topics. You're very creative to be able to think of all of these scenarios and settings for your videos to keep them fresh. Have a good Christmas and I hope all is well!
What are the odds that my favorite ASMR artist makes a video dedicated to a game I recently began to love! Amazing job on the video!
This is definitely one of the more underrated videos on this channel
I LOVE Darkwood! When I first got it I wasn't sure it would be scary because of the top down perspective but wow they did a great job! Amazing roleplay ER!
The level of work you put into your videos is off the charts, and I love you for every bit of it ^____^
There's lots of great ASMR sounds here, too :D Great job!
I especially love the shovel sounds, I've never heard anything that matched that sound before, and it almost knocked me out right then and there XD And with the slow, steady tape peeling, my brain just went "YEEEESSSS!" XD
Thank you so much for continuing to produce such high quality content for us! :D
Thank you so much for this relaxing video 😍
Thanks for everything you're doing for us.
Omg...he knows what darkwood is, i Love this video never thought i would see such things!!
This is art. I love it.
Now I wanna see your take on Wolfman. xD
Mano, incrivelmente incrível kkkk
Os barulhos de selvagem no fundo me lembram de como as noites nesse jogo são tensas!
BR na área 🇧🇷
Opa
Primeiramente, Boa noite
@@faisenfuden6810 Segundamente, boa tarde
me pergunto pq q n tem uma comunidade br do ephemeral rift
@@swpernova porque infelizmente somos poucos
You are on point with your references. You mentioning the wedding really sold me that you’re the stranger. Easily my favorite video of yours and I’ve seen hundreds.
So cool!!! Finally ASMR based on my favorite game! :)
Oh wow! I haven't watched yet (I'm going to) but want to appreciate this Darkwood appreciation :D definitely one of my favorite games of the last few years
Amazing video 😍
I love this calming music 💜💜💜
These are the kind of videos i miss
Omg I was actually hoping that this was going to be your next video
Rift I'd kill for a playthrough of Darkwood from you. Love the world its set in.
Now thats the material I was lookin for
Darkwood rocks!!!
I gotta say I downloaded dark wood after seeing this video and loved it!!! Thanks for bringing it to my attention 😄
Paul, that's the most welcome surprise, I love Darkwood so much, you could not imagine
I really love this, it gives that scary feeling but also feeling safe like a zombie apocalypse type of feeling. Or around a camp fire telling scary stories.
Those canteen water splashing sounds were on point
ER has such great tastes in games. Darkwood is 1 of my favorite horror games of all time.
Oh wow a darkwood roleplay, now this I HAVE to watch that game is SOOO underrated!!
Very epic Mr. Rift I enjoy all of your content
i got this game recently and i thought to my self "ER could totally make a video on this." and now here we are.
