That was the most entertaining bad indie horror game I've seen John play in a long time. Normally I find myself yawning halfway through these games, because they are just so repetitious, but this game had a lot of unique qualities that actually made it very enjoyable to watch. That ending was just amazing, it was so awkwardly out of place, but a joy to watch.
I personally feel this games protrays a typical nightmare very well. The janky animations are exactly how it is like in a dream, like when you try to run but your legs ain't sprinting properly.
While it's not great(and maybe I'm setting the bar real low here), I can seriously appreciate the ambition and effort of the developer. The fact we got to see actual cut screens during the game, to me, is a lot of promise. It means they're willing to go above and beyond for the stories they wanna tell, even if it's maybe above their current skill level. That says a lot IMO and I'm excited for anything else the dev puts out.

It's weird af that he doesn't yet. His growth is abnormal for his quality. I'm guessing it must be an algorithmic issue. He must not be getting promoted to the right new viewers and whatnot.
I'm terrified of the prospect. Whenever YTers become "big", there's a flood of toxicity in the comments that never clears up. (Plus, every big name in the LP community is confirmed to have done something horrible, and now I'm almost convinced you can't be big without being a piece of shit...) It'd also suck to see the clockwork problems, like burnout. Although, I wonder if he had millions of subs, if that'd be more freeing than pressuring. Right now, he seems to be migrating to Twitch - but he was at least formerly shackled by the desires of his audience ("trapped" in the horror genre, and unable to do multi-part series unless it was something highly anticipated).
When you make a game sound bad(via the title) I always say to myself "It can't be that bad" They almost always are. The end credits were unique though.

Every horror movie and game should just end with the protagonist calling their dad and saying they love them. Even if there is no context...
Chris just calling his dad out of the blue at the end of Resident Evil 5 would be pretty funny.

It was the noise he made after being slugged when it faded to black that had me wheezing. "UhhhuuuuhhuhUUUuuuuhhhhh?????"
