    Your Soma lore series pushed me to reflect even more on the game’s incredible story, and now again you are reminding me - us of all the depth in frictional games’ stories, all the details a player misses - treating the games as a monumental novel discussed in english class. I wholeheartedly appreciate your narrations and effort put into these series, you deserve all the support, thank you

    Chances are pretty good that you won't see this, but I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your continued work. There are few creators on this website that instil there work with as much thought as you do, breaking down games and literature into it's truest form, it's fundamentals.
    You inspire me to continue my own creative hobbies. Thanks again.

      I see every comment, cuz I'm an egomaniac who loves praise lol. But seriously, thanks! It's heartening to hear that I can inspire someone to create. I hope to see something by you someday!

    I will say, Red's death is the most terrifying moment in the whole series of games by Frictional.
    Addendum- it stuck in my head because well... I watched full Penumbra playthrough when I was like 13. I learned about Frictional Games through Amnesia- found a review of the game in a stray gaming magazine found in a library or something.
    Was a nice watch, but damn Red's death seared in my head

      His death is not even the most hitting in the Penumbra series itself...that would be the Dr. Anabel.

      Oh look, it's my stalker, showing me how it's wrong to "stalk comment sections", calling people stupid and never noticing his own hypocrisy, even calling others kids, child or in this case "infant" while being a literal minor himself. And let's just throw some homophobia in there too, because you hadn't embarrassed yourself enough already apparently! :D Didn't even notice I was referring to the uploader rather than the game because you were so busy trying to mitigate your butthurt by talking shit. You're adorable. I want to keep you.

    I discovered this gem of a channel due to your amazing SOMA series (which are to date still the best SOMA related video's on YT) and just had to sub after that. And while i haven't watched all your other stuff yet i'll allways check out anything frictional related. They're true masters of storytelling and you're the perfect guy to analyse it! I hope you'll eventually cover all frictional's titles (i'm especially fond of a machine for pigs story and obviously SOMA)! Keep it up :)

    10:42 my theory is that is the doctor being attacked and dragged away by one of those dogs or things from Black Plague. I think red was also infected or one of the messed up ones and that’s why he wanted to die or that maybe he wasnt a normal human or maybe he had paranoid schizophrenia or was mentally ill like the other workers.

In par with the base game or above. I d be happily to see a full on analysis series of penumbra full with lore and games. All in depth
