It’s pretty easy to tell when a dev doesn’t have a clear direction/story in mind when you get something like this. Being good at atmosphere will only go so far.
Awwww. "Sausage" sounded like fun! The U. of Michigan Middle English Compendium defines "Scauage" as: "A custom levied on goods displayed for sale within the precincts of London." Sadly for the protagonist, _much_ less fun. 😂 Thanks for playing this adequate little walking sim, Chris. So glad your throat is feeling better! 🙌
lol “ a ghost town marauders & scavengers roam the area in search of Sausage Fortune “ 😂. Chris I ❤ your videos, content, & hilarious witty banter. Been a longtime fan of your channel & your videos are an absolute joy to my day. Thank you ❣️
The game rating for me was.. Sausage at best. If you eat it, it's something to fill the stomach.. if you choose to ignore it, you not missing much. Thank you for making this video playthrough CJU.
My pain has been so bad that I cannot walk today so ive been in bed rewatching your Song of Horror play through until I got the notification for this game! Im glad youre feeling better after being sick the past week or two, good to see you playing even when the game isnt the best(sorry to these devs but this needs a lot of work). If it makes you feel better I ALSO read the title as Sausage then again as Sauvage.
Sorry you're having a particularly painful day, mellie. I empathize ❤, and hope you get relief very soon! It is grand though, isn't it, to have Chris' smiling face and funny commentary for distraction. Laughter really can be better than medicine.
Some day, I would like to see an indie horror game that gives the impression that you have to hang yourself, but in reality you just have to move some boxes aside to reveal a door to freedom. Just, you know, SOMETHING that's not a 'and they all died miserably ever after' type of ending.
This was an amazing experience, sausage, indeed a worthy name for Best Horror 2024 🤣🤣 Man, I loved this! The flashlight movement and the entire house was super realistic. The end was a bit dark as well, yeah.
I love your content, Chris, but man am I getting tired of all these horror devs that set out to make a game with zero writing sense...it's always the same low-effort "stories" where all they care about is shock factor. That being said, as long as you're here to play them, I'll be here to watch. You're far more entertaining than the games you play anyway.
I read it as sausage at first but didn't find it weird 😂 I think I got used to horror games with weird names and maybe cannibalism. This game had a good atmosphere but no plot. It didn't go anywhere and at the end I was wondering what I had just watched. If it wasn't for your wonderful commentary, I don't think this game would attract much attention (well maybe because of the name haha).
Good, finally a normal length video lol I can't sit and watch a Godfather feature length horror game video...and I know I can break it up, but for some reason I don't find myself coming back to them.
For once, I got to listen to a video of yours through my earbuds (I usually watch on TV) and the sounds were good here! A bit disappointed about the abruptness of the ending, but points for allowing you to leave! I wonder if you didn't loot the home at all if that note on the table would have said something different? EDIT: Oh, and I definitely read it as "sausage". 🤣
I was thinking that after you lit the candles that the planks that you couldnt remove at the bottom of basement did get removed and maybe there was a demon in that room (whispers) but yeah like you said; sad it ended that way
CJU, if you so happen to see this, the final 2 episodes from White Day 2 are out. Episode 1: Student Jung Soo-jin is determined to set the record straight and regain the trust of her crush, Jang Sung-tae. But as the pair search for clues, they learn of a far darker secret deep within the bowels of the school and become prey in a relentless hunt. Episode 2: Former teacher-in-training Kang Seo-yeon arrives to investigate the ambiguous circumstances surrounding her father’s passing on the school grounds. Drawing on her knowledge of the occult, Seo-yeon attempts to reverse an ancient ritual while evading a powerful and malicious ghost that is inexorably drawn to her. Episode 3: 1st-year student Yoo Ji-min searches for a way to bring peace to the restless spirit of Han Na-young. Delving deeper into the tragic history of the school and the complex relationships between its students, Ji-min makes a fateful discovery that will lift the veil of obscurity once and for all. Hope you one day swing back around to it, because it is a flawed but very fun game.
You know, one of these days, I would love for a horror game to be one of these "break into the totally-not-abandoned house" scenarios, but instead, it's like a homeless guy's place instead of some demonic house of horrors, and it becomes a dangerous game of hide and seek. Not even lethal, he just wants you out.
Great atmosphere for about half but it wears off once you realize it's just spooky sounds and nothing more. It really needed to deliver on the spooks when you enter that final section of the basement. Also, I think fatalistic, downer endings like this one aren't very good fits for short, intense games. Downer endings need long build up, so that you understand why the conclusion is what it is - you instinctively knew it could only end badly but in your heart you kept hoping for a miracle that never materialized. An example would be _The Thing_ (1982). On the contrary, games like this are just about adrenaline and I think they are better if they end on an adrenaline high - a frantic chase or a tense stealth section - then a sudden release of tension as you overcome the obstacle. In this case you could have escaped but dropped all the loot as you squeezed through a basement window, the cannibal breathing down your neck to that final moment. An example (and likely inspiration) for this is _Don't Breathe_ (2016). ...my two pennies, anyway. 😊
@CJU , I googled how to pronounce the word and all googled showed me was the pronunciation for sausage. So, even google read it as sausage lol (I did too by the way).
As you said, great audio, promising game, but shitty, cliche ending. Could they not come up with something a little more original? Snd, yep, first quick glance at the name was sausage. If the comments are anything to go by, we’re not alone in that thought. Lol! At least your commentary was fun! Thanks, Chris!
I absolutely read "Sausage" when I saw your video pop up! And if you want to play some sausage, the link is in the description....... missed opportunity🤣
I was wondering if they meant "scavage" and it was just some sort of letter-traslation issue from Cyrillic? Since they don't have a letter that looks like "u" or like "v"... their u looks like our y so maybe they thought that was close enough to v? 😂
I feel like there should have been more build up to the ending. Because the ending was so bland I would have liked to know more about the ritual, why they wanted to try it in the first place, more about the people who lived there, ect. It felt very flat and rushed even though the core gameplay wasn't too bad.
I thovght the game uuas going to reference some elements of medieual histories based on the title alone m but anywayes, this game lookes pretty interestinge.
Lol I read it as SAUSAGE too
Literally same
Loot some sausages ! Yes !
It was squishi 🐿️
Same
I did that too 😂
Haha me too ;)
Huge thanks for playing the game! It means a lot to us to be featured on your channel! There is one more ending you could have got!
@@LexKaiNix, sausage is now the proper community name for the game! Though it is scauage, an old English variation for scavenge (from 1500s).
@@kreidpix Amazing job on finding a unique, interesting and fitting name for your game! Love me some word nerds :)
@@mondschwarz8078, great to hear that some appreciates the title! Thanks so much!
@@kreidpixthank you for clarifying about the name, etymology is always fun
@@evanf1443, yeah! Glad to hear this!
_"Let's play.... whatever the hell this game's called."_ *LOL*
There’s another ending. Get to the skull/candle table without looting the home. If you do that the game lets you leave the house.
"Scauage" (Middle English) means "A custom levied on goods displayed for sale within the precincts of London"
oh!!!
I also... read it as sausage... WHO HERE IS SAUSAGE GANG?
Bang bang sausage gang...
We stacking patties in the back of the Cadillac seat since last week we don't just pack links...
Sausage Gang forever!
It’s pretty easy to tell when a dev doesn’t have a clear direction/story in mind when you get something like this. Being good at atmosphere will only go so far.

interesting. sounds kind of like sales tax here in the US.
@@db3536 Yes! Very much like.
Great atmosphere with absolutely no payoff. What the heck was that ending?
lol “ a ghost town marauders & scavengers roam the area in search of Sausage Fortune “ 😂. Chris I ❤ your videos, content, & hilarious witty banter. Been a longtime fan of your channel & your videos are an absolute joy to my day. Thank you ❣️
Dyslexic brains worst enemy, a confusing word. 😂
Like the word dyslexia 😂
Very entertaining. Thank you for playing, CJU!
The game rating for me was.. Sausage at best.
If you eat it, it's something to fill the stomach.. if you choose to ignore it, you not missing much.
Thank you for making this video playthrough CJU.
Lmao, at this point I see in the comments that 99,99% of us read the title *sausage* 😭

My brain keeps struggling with it. Scavenge? Scavage? Sausage?
I fear nothing good will come of this.
I went to the comment section to write about sausage. I'm glad I'm not alone. Actually, is there a single person who didn't read it as sausage?
This was an amazing experience, sausage, indeed a worthy name for Best Horror 2024 🤣🤣
Man, I loved this! The flashlight movement and the entire house was super realistic. The end was a bit dark as well, yeah.
It seems that nearly everybody misread it as Sausage :)
Yeah, looting can be a really dangerous job. All RPG lovers would agree with that.
Is it supposed to be Scavage?
CJU always delivers 🔥
Sometimes I think that indie horror game developers have an inofficial contest going on as to who can come up with the dumbest game name.
Especially with how dark they make them. Can barely see.
I love your content, Chris, but man am I getting tired of all these horror devs that set out to make a game with zero writing sense...it's always the same low-effort "stories" where all they care about is shock factor.
That being said, as long as you're here to play them, I'll be here to watch. You're far more entertaining than the games you play anyway.
Wow I’ve never been so early!! Love your content
I saw that Chris had uploaded a new video, and everything is put on pause!😄

I love how so many of us read Sausage. 😂

Sausage would have been a great name for a horror game about a cannibal lol
My favourite way to start the day :D Chris and coffee and an adequate horror game lol
Good, finally a normal length video lol I can't sit and watch a Godfather feature length horror game video...and I know I can break it up, but for some reason I don't find myself coming back to them.
I'm so glad 'sausage' is the universal first reading!! HAHA
Scavenge, Sausage... xD The best thing about the game was the option to leave xD
What does Scauage even mean? 😸
Well, whatever nevermind. I'm super happy to see you uploaded a video 🩷 will be a cozy evening, relaxing, watching it 😍
For once, I got to listen to a video of yours through my earbuds (I usually watch on TV) and the sounds were good here!

This game is SAUSAGE That’s how we all read it, that’s what it’s called
Reversed escape room game. hahaha Cool, I liked the conception. You've forgotten a huge vase aside the TV. hehehe

That was quite the dark game, lighting wise. Still a pleasure to watch it.
Definitely saw "Sausage" at first.
Also really liked the atmosphere of this. Short and sweet.
Dammit. Bratwurst sounds so good right now.
If you can find a game called Sausage, you should totally play it for comparison
You know, one of these days, I would love for a horror game to be one of these "break into the totally-not-abandoned house" scenarios, but instead, it's like a homeless guy's place instead of some demonic house of horrors, and it becomes a dangerous game of hide and seek.

Yup i call it Sausage! Lol
It's midnight and i just looked up cjugames to see if he's uploaded today so i could get cozy and watch before bed 😭🙏 thank you, chris.

Google thought this word was sausage too.
I read this as Sausage too.
Hahahah thank you Chris you allways make me laugh , 😅😅 lets play ....what ever this game is called lll 😂😂😂
CJ you're my most watched youtuber of 2024, wouldn't have it any other way
@CJU , I googled how to pronounce the word and all googled showed me was the pronunciation for sausage. So, even google read it as sausage lol (I did too by the way).
I think it's pronounced "Scuu-age" with a hyphenated sausage sound.
Agreed, SAUSAGE has great atmosphere and is wonderfully tense, but that ending was disappointing.
I, too, also thought this was called Sausage lol
I'm among the many who have also misread the title as "Sausage" at first. Commenting for the algo as well! Hope you're having a lovely day, CJU!
As you said, great audio, promising game, but shitty, cliche ending. Could they not come up with something a little more original?
Snd, yep, first quick glance at the name was sausage. If the comments are anything to go by, we’re not alone in that thought. Lol!
At least your commentary was fun! Thanks, Chris!
I love how this controls. I though it was on rails, like those old time TimeCrisis games.
I thought it said sausage too😂
I absolutely read "Sausage" when I saw your video pop up!
And if you want to play some sausage, the link is in the description....... missed opportunity🤣
Okay game, but I always appreciate your uploads ❤
Bahahaha I thought it said sausage too
I thought to myself "they made a horror game called sausage... ok" lol. You're definitely not the only one who read it as that 😁
Glad I'm not alone in reading the title as sausage
Thanks Chris 💗👍🏼
I misread it sausage too, and i thought its a troll game where you loot sausages 😂
I was wondering if they meant "scavage" and it was just some sort of letter-traslation issue from Cyrillic? Since they don't have a letter that looks like "u" or like "v"... their u looks like our y so maybe they thought that was close enough to v? 😂
I feel like there should have been more build up to the ending. Because the ending was so bland I would have liked to know more about the ritual, why they wanted to try it in the first place, more about the people who lived there, ect. It felt very flat and rushed even though the core gameplay wasn't too bad.
I mean, SAUSAGE would make for a good name for a horror game, right?
There is study saying that human brain can rearange or fill out words which are mistakenly written.
Well, I misread it as SAUSAGE
As long as the first sound and last sound of the word are in the correct places
you can tell when a developer is trying to be edgy when they randomly throw in crosses.
I agree with sausage
My favorite British and very funny commentary eee ❤
i read sausage too! i have no true real experiences
I clicked so fast thinking it said sausage. Now that I've watched it, it might as well have been called Sausage.
The full game of "Among Ashes " is out!!!! Please oh, please play it next !!!!!
Yesss I wanna see him play it since I won't play it myself lmao 🤭
Well let's be real, the only thing better than a haunted sausage, is a stolen haunted sausage 🌭
Are there other endings?
I love indie horror games ❤
Scauage is like Mawwiage. It bwings us awl togever
It must be „scavage“, but they didn’t buy the whole font set 😅
I saw the title as sausage. ROTFL!
Watching 👀😊
CJU time ❤
12:05 doors wouldnt open for me lol
I read saussage 😂😂😂
9/10 sausages
The word sounds like something a viking would say haha
I hate endings like this one, just so forced and without earning anything. These endings really taint the whole experience. .
I do now want a horror game about sausages.
I thovght the game uuas going to reference some elements of medieual histories based on the title alone m but anywayes, this game lookes pretty interestinge.
Hi Chris 👋👋❤❤
Kinda bummed it’s not sausage tbh.
Yep, you got the better ending choosing to leave at the start.
Yeah ... I saw Sausage as well.
If I had a dollar for every indie horror game that ends with you being "forced" to hang yourself, I'd own my own dev studio by now.
Finally a game you can leave lol
