You know, I wanted to mention 2 things: 1: Swansea was saving the last cryopod, sure… but for himself, or for _Daisuke_ ? 2: Jimmy manages to call everyone out on _his_ flaws. (He says Curly doesn’t care about the crew; he implies Anya doesn’t deserve her title; he calls Swansea a *_liar_* ; and he may call Daisuke dumb, but _I’m not sure_ about that one.)
@@cheesyyetcrunchy that’s true, though honestly I’m not sure how much of _anything_ we see when playing as Jimmy is real. He was already hallucinating pretty bad when he crashed the ship, and his sanity just plummets from there…
Just noticed that after Swansea is killed, all the cryopods looked perfectly fine. Probably why Daisuke was in awe. Not to mention that in one of the painkiller scenes, there were two voices when it sounded like Curly was bashing his head against the table..let alone the subject that a good chunk of comments have covered. They did a good job with how they had Jimmy mouthwash himself to feel redeemable. Great story.
@@0_dearghealach_083 yeah, my first go i didn't notice the sound Jimmy made, so i thought it was curly in intense pain that he was violently writhing since it was a long enough time between him taking the Oxy it seemed. I did, however, notice they reversed aviation standard of Captain on the left, and co-pilot on the right. pretty clever if that was intended.
also during the scene where curlys leg is first eaten, daisuke has one of those valves on his eye that curly has later, i think symbolizing how he briefly takes on that same role as curly of something for jimmy to 'fix'.
Somehow the low bit graphics make these types of games like Iron Lung, Voyager 19 and now Mouthwashing seem to somehow make the game creepier then any high resolution graphics. Also, usually don't like commentary in my gameplays, but I like this guy, thumbs up
Don’t forget: “Dragonbrearh CO will not accept responsibility for any harm caused by this product.” So, you can add some oligarchy dystopia to that list.
kinda hard for me to put the story together with all these flashbacks, left me confused a bit after the first playthrough. the game is kinda underrated in my humble opinion. It's no action or shooting bad guys, it's actually a sad story which could happen in real life as we all know that there is always this one guy who wanna be you, or better than you, you know what I mean. felt like a journey, literally. kinda hard for me to put the story together with all these flashbacks, left me confused a bit after the first playthrough. the game is kinda underrated in my humble opinion.

I’d also like to point out that Jimmy didn’t kill Swanson in the cockpit - he injured/debilitated him. He went out of his way to use the rope to tie Swanson to a chair before finishing it. The rope I thought would be used for… something else, was used to tie up a man before his execution; and that’s what it was, an execution. The self-defense went away as soon as he was tied up…
amusingly, mouthwash does little to kill cavities despite giving the appearance of doing so by making ones breath smell nice without solving the real issue (very fitting for the game!)
Even more amusingly, the mouthwash in the game has too high of a sugar content to actually help. You are literally getting more cavities using it than if you didn't, though I have no idea what the metaphor for that would be.
Spoilers In todays episode of “men not wanting to take responsibility for their abuse of women and choosing complete annihilation over the truth”. It hits even harder at the end where he just gets to go out with the feeling that he is in fact a hero. “I saved my friend, I fixed it, now I end it as punishment and all is right in the world”, _brother you’ve just spent a level with an ultra sound and openings shaped like cervices_
I've gotta say, this is the first game I remember that's kept me up at night. It's 2:30 AM, I can't sleep, because I keep thinking about this game. It's because the completely avoidable tragedy of all of it makes me so, so mad. And I love it, it's such a good story that it has me genuinely effected by it
If I had a nickel for every surreal indie game The Librarian played where someone in critical condition is kept alive against their will onboard a damaged spacecraft, I’d have about two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
This game is truly something, isn't it. I can't remember I've seen a game packed with so much novel things, depicting delusion so well. This is truly a piece of art...
I adored this game when I played it myself (best game of 2024 for me) and really enjoyed this playthrough. Seeing the reactions of someone who engages with the material, makes the little connections and dissects the themes is very rewarding. Keep doing what you're doing, it's invaluable.
This game is structured so well, I think. This is my second time watching a play through and now I can appreciate the foreshadowing more. Damn- this crew was doomed from the start. Love your thoughtfulness throughout!
I almost can not believe how well this game was made. Honestly, this was an amazing playthrough, and i would love to see more content like this. I never even heard of this game, but now I do, thank you🧡🔥
I watched another TH-camr who played this game, and he didn't even bother to analyse or looking around like The Librarian always do, so I switched and watched his gameplay because I know for a 100% that The Librarian will play the game as it's supposed to be played, not just doing all tasks without commenting correctly or understanding what is even going on, I even saw a Playthrough from a well known TH-camr, you probably know who I mean, in which the guy didn't even understood the story in the end because he rushed it. I wonder why NO ONE has made a analysation video on this game, because it's frcking awesome.
15:05 "Why are we being this mean?" Oh man, I wonder if he will pick up on the deeper story later on, because ohhh boy is jimmy a *bit* more than mean.
So VERY HEAVY spoiler alert: Jimmy didn't crash the ship out of spite, he raped Anya and got her pregnant but didn't want to take responsibility when arriving at their destination. That's why she talked about the absence of locks in the sleeping quarters and what the 8 month of travel left meant.
@@naomisoltesz9890 It's being written from the perspective from someone who doesn't care about Anya's feelings. The only time you ever even hear about the r*pe is when you aren't playing as Jimmy, because Jimmy literally does not care about Anya. She's even blocked out of his vision during certain parts because that's how much he doesn't want to acknowledge her. Everything you need to know is conveyed, it's just not spoon fed to you.
@@naomisoltesz9890 you're bad at reading then. She clearly kept everything very close to her own, trying to look fine. And when she finally snapped, she ended up ending herself, either intentionally, or by trying to get rid of the child. All this is VERY tragic, and sadly very real in some cases.

I love the way you cover games but I think that taking away the swearing in this one ruins the cut of a lot of the dialogue. I understand why you do it but I think a lot of venom is taken out of what people say to Jimmy when swear words are ignored or replaced
I'm late to the party as I wanted to play this game completely before watching, but you misunderstood the horse scene at around 1:30:00. The horse isn't being distracted by the thing crashing through the boxes, it is the thing that's crashing through the boxes. You're supposed to track it's location using the sound and boxes moving, and make your moves when its further away from you. I do like though that doing it wrong doesn't immediately start you back at the beginning each time, but gives you the extra tension of the horse trying to sniff you out. That would probably be a very annoying section if it used instant failure states for everything.
I really enjoyed this one! I particularly enjoy your patient and thoughtful approach to each scene, and how you give a moment to take in what just happened between scenes. I also like how you censored the dialogue of harsh words, in my opinion it contributes to a more relaxing long format video. Almost like listening to an audiobook. Thanks for what you do!
Librarian could you give The Long Dark another shot but this time the story version, it's more streamlined with a good mix of story and survival and would be a great walk-through
HEAVY SPOILERS: I'm still reeling from all the notions this game tried to put in my head at once. Something that is sticking with me is Curly's pacifism. Presumably, he knew about the baby a long while before the small scenes the game shows us. Yet he's still buddy-buddy with Jimmy? He doesn't try to punish him, or inform Swan who certainly would have done "something" about him? No, instead he tries to placate both the victim and the perpetrator, and in doing so he gives a man spiraling due to guilt literal and figurative control of the ship. Curly conscripts himself into an ironic, almost mythological fate. He is the watcher, watching everything spiral as this malignancy grows. The rest of the crew follows suit. No one is acknowledging their core issue, the root of their problem, so the rot spreads. Like an unwanted child, growing inside Anya. And everyone's fates are their biggest current "problems". Kind of the things a human is most like to ignore, right? Dai's free will is not his own. Swan died seemingly sober and clear-headed. Anya INGESTS poison which feels like very intentional imagery. Jimmy's biggest enemy is literally himself. Obviously this story has a villain, and some characters are *much* more flawed than others, but I feel like common people can let evil occur which otherwise would be snuffed if we weren't so worried about maintaining that status quo. Instead of doing something about it, we wash it down? What a experience that was.
i definitely understand why curly didnt want to confront jimmy, you dont want something to go wrong and jimmy to get aggressive when theyre literally trapped together for almost a year, but he still definitely made a lot of mistakes. the biggest of which being telling the crew about the secret message imo
exactly this, i feel like curly's flaw that you perfectly described is the hardest to pinpoint but one of the most realistic i see played out day to day in real life. it really just is another form of mouthwash.
Hi I've been lurking for like a year, I love you man. You're the best bedtime stories guy ever and actually help me relax enough to sleep (which is saying a LOT...) . 🥰🤘🏻🤘🏻Stay safe fellow vibe traveler 🧿✌🏻
This was great, watched the playthrough over the span of three days and loved it. An idea for a game you might want to check out is one called Home Safety Hotline. It got a Winter/Christmas themed DLC relatively recently which has art by Trevor Henderson.
but to be honest, I think it's over anyways, if they would find Curly he will be already dead by then, think about his injuries, man looks like the worst fire accident which could possibly happen, no eyelids, you constantly have to put eyedrops in your eye to keep them from drying. I think curly was already dead sentenced the whole time, they should have put him to rest, but instead, Jimmy extended his suffering, if they would find him in the pot, or even bother to send a rescue ship. and I think thats the irony, at the end Jimmy regrets everything and puts dying curly, who's living the live of pure agony into the last Cryo pot. Endless suffering, he hoped it will hurt, now Jimmy has to face the gun for his wish.
Really really liked the first half but then it got a bit too abstract for me. Also I kinda find it a bit weird that Jimmy and Daisuke were acting like Anya was going to kill Curly in the section where she locks herself in. I felt like it was pretty clear she was going to kill herself which is what ended up happening. Maybe more manipulation on Jimmy's part.
Such a masterpiece of a game! This really got me. The Story here is very strong and I love how well every aspect is used like the visuals, the horror, the transitions, the time jumps and the tragic it shows caused because of the sick mind of .... SPOILER: Jimmy.
Ive said it before, but ill say it again Thank you for censoring the dialog, and saying all the dialog, i always do housework whist watching your channel, and it make the experience soo much better
i wanted to thank you for your commentary and approach to this game. as someone who’s experienced sa, multiple times, this game is really difficult for me. it took me a while to finish this video. unfortunately, since its official release, this game has infected every part of my mind like a worm. thank you for how you address this game
This is why you are great in my book, other TH-camrs would waste our time with this game being split into 5 different videos for monetization. You also have a clean mouth, are very composed and make for a wonderful soft voiced narrator.
I think clear mouth didn't work for this particular game, though. Without strong words, added by developers, many moments sound rather...weak and unemotional.
@@theofficalsilentravenpeople SJW-ing grown adults is always so creepy, half the videos are probably pre recorded saying you're *worried* like he's a prisoner is wild, eww.
@@lenanicole2837 It's called being a decent human being, pal. Same thing you feel when seeing a homeless man on the street. Feeling empathy, worried and sorry for them. Dude probably doesn't know these are pre-recorded and thinks Librarian makes videos back to back.
@@lenanicole2837literally shut up, if you don’t know his schedule you surely would be, I was before I found out his videos were pre recorded, so chill out.
Im confused why did Jimmy crash it? what was that about the pregnant lady being scared to talk about "the baby" to Jim? I was only half paying attention at the middle and I dont want to rewatch it.
Cause he assaulted her + she'd probably have to give birth while they're still on the ship, so EVERYONE would've known what he did, and there would be no way to get away with it. ran from the consequences of his own actions, responsibility and all
its implied Jimmy raped Anya and the baby would've been born around the time they got back. Jimmy being an upstanding guy, decided to crash the ship to avoid the consequences. Fortunately (or unfortunately) the crew survived the crash but Curly was badly injured leaving Jimmy to "take responsibility" for his actions.
like burke in aliens. sabotage all but one cryopod, leaving you as the sole surviving crewmate with any story to tell about how your crewmates didn't make it.
Yknow learning this was made by the same dev who did how fish are made really makes sense (also a worthwhile experience if you haven’t played it yet). This is really something else, the style really is genuinely inspired.

I thought the noise was Jimmy trying to force the painkillers down Curly's throat, and almost bashing his face in the process?

Well that was horrifically depressing
I think that's the point?

Damn, this game got me and will probably stick with me a while.
The story is so well written and I like how it's told to the player with flashbacks.
kinda hard for me to put the story together with all these flashbacks, left me confused a bit after the first playthrough.

I love the part after the confrontation both Jimmy and Swansea have, for the first time we get to know why swansea is the way he is, and, in a turn of events, we get to know that both of them, have very similar stories and motivations, Swansea got sold the idea that once he got into a job, all his problems would get solved, or at least, they would be easier to confront, after what we could assume was a very serious accident were he got revived (Referencing the 500 gigawatts comment) probably when he was drunk, a car accident possibly?, he tried to fix his llfe, he got sober, got a job, and tried to do his best, but it never got him anywhere, he worked at the company for years, but he never got to know what it felt like to have a family, probably because of how time consuming it was, he says it himself, at the end of the day, the ship was the only thing he had left, because even the company which he dedicated a great part of his life has ditched him, and even after that, he never got his frustrations out on everyone in a physical way, sure, maybe he was sacrastic, used profanity and let out spiteful comments, but that didn't made him a bad person, in fact, he seemed more mad at the company than to his coworkers, i mean, even Anya opened up to him at one point, maybe she thought Swansea was worthy of knowing what was happening between her and Jimmy, and that speaks louder than words.
The difference between Jimmy and Swansea, is that he wasn't a coward, and worked really hard to get where he was, even if it was all without purpose, he was a broken man who tried too much for his own good, and Jimmy never experienced such things, he was just spiteful and resented just because, and was blind too about what his role in the story was, Envy is blind afterall.
I loved this video so much, i never watched someone playing this game before, and it was great watching the librarian playing it!!, i loved the story telling and the use of an unreliable narrator in here, it was incredible, i definitely will be checking what comes next from these developers from now on, it's always great watching
The Librarian©™ play these type of games.
I’d also like to point out that Jimmy didn’t kill Swanson in the cockpit - he injured/debilitated him. He went out of his way to use the rope to tie Swanson to a chair before finishing it. The rope I thought would be used for… something else, was used to tie up a man before his execution; and that’s what it was, an execution. The self-defense went away as soon as he was tied up…
the way he missed the face in the floor at 2:26:51 made it scarier for me
huh???
I just love how Swansea protects Daisuki, yes, he's rude and sarcastic, but I'd be damned if I'd said he don't like this kid
On the upside, everyone dies with minty fresh breath and near zero cavities.
When the body rots and emaciates , the teeth fall out. So minty fresh gums
Still a win!
amusingly, mouthwash does little to kill cavities despite giving the appearance of doing so by making ones breath smell nice without solving the real issue (very fitting for the game!)

4:47 Space Madness is no excuse for space rudeness!
HELL YEAH...I WAMTED YOU TO COVER THIS GAME😂❤
Been waiting for this video since I first saw this game. Such a disturbing and well-told story.
Fun fact: Polle is a nickname for a horse in Finnish. :D
for a second i was like did he even start the cryostasis pod? then it started and i was like oh..
.
but to be honest, I think it's over anyways, if they would find Curly he will be already dead by then, think about his injuries, man looks like the worst fire accident which could possibly happen, no eyelids, you constantly have to put eyedrops in your eye to keep them from drying. I think curly was already dead sentenced the whole time, they should have put him to rest, but instead, Jimmy extended his suffering, if they would find him in the pot, or even bother to send a rescue ship.
and I think thats the irony, at the end Jimmy regrets everything and puts dying curly, who's living the live of pure agony into the last Cryo pot.
Endless suffering, he hoped it will hurt, now Jimmy has to face the gun for his wish.
@@unbelieveableniceguy4990 him being on a cryo pod might raise questions so there's a chance if not a good one
I love hearing the kidz bop version of all the dialogue
Also "and I must scream" YES THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING!!!
Really really liked the first half but then it got a bit too abstract for me.
Also I kinda find it a bit weird that Jimmy and Daisuke were acting like Anya was going to kill Curly in the section where she locks herself in. I felt like it was pretty clear she was going to kill herself which is what ended up happening. Maybe more manipulation on Jimmy's part.
Anya’s appearance reminds me of young Shelley Duvall 🥺
Such a masterpiece of a game! This really got me. The Story here is very strong and I love how well every aspect is used like the visuals, the horror, the transitions, the time jumps and the tragic it shows caused because of the sick mind of ....
SPOILER:
Jimmy.
So far music is cathartic yay yay...
31:10 im covered in foam dawg 31:10
Daisuke gives me Larry Butz vibes.
Thanks for another banger Mr librarian, you are the reason I laze around all day, and I mean that in a great way edit: I didn’t realize I was first
Ive said it before, but ill say it again
Thank you for censoring the dialog, and saying all the dialog, i always do housework whist watching your channel, and it make the experience soo much better
Just in time.
Mouthwashing was really good!
i wanted to thank you for your commentary and approach to this game. as someone who’s experienced sa, multiple times, this game is really difficult for me. it took me a while to finish this video. unfortunately, since its official release, this game has infected every part of my mind like a worm. thank you for how you address this game
46:50 *DARWIN!*
42:13 what does the jumbled red text say
"TAKE RESPONSIBILITY"
19:23 oof
Interesting... 🤔
dude I thought this was gonna be some silly surreal horror game about dental hygiene
oh my god...
Play Fran Bow, pretty please.
YES 🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Have you ever played Cry of Fear ?.
Respect and keep up the epic work.
Yes he did! and he did a series on it on the channel
@@piotryla4237 Thank you.
Beat game from my best TH-camr 💪💜
jesus christ ur all about killing curly the second you meet him lmao 😭😭
Watched IGP's vid first, wish I watched this first instead. COMPLETELY different experience.
Yay yay yay yay germy germy wash wash yay yay yay!!
lil bro is geeking
This is why you are great in my book, other TH-camrs would waste our time with this game being split into 5 different videos for monetization. You also have a clean mouth, are very composed and make for a wonderful soft voiced narrator.
I think clear mouth didn't work for this particular game, though. Without strong words, added by developers, many moments sound rather...weak and unemotional.
2:52:46 wait what room is this?? I don’t remember this
That's a room on Voices of the void, another game on this channel but not by the same creator
i think i played an earlier version of this, or was it a demo?
hi!!!!
brutal
1:16:23 he really is old.
Will From the fog make a return any time soon?
1:23:10 Not much of a useful comment but IM LOSING MY MIND
Dude do you ever take a break or sleep?? Oh my gosh 😭
Different time-zones?
@@0_dearghealach_083I know that but with the amount of times he’s uploaded and a *day* hasn’t passed I’m kinda worried
@@theofficalsilentravenpeople SJW-ing grown adults is always so creepy, half the videos are probably pre recorded saying you're *worried* like he's a prisoner is wild, eww.
@@lenanicole2837
It's called being a decent human being, pal. Same thing you feel when seeing a homeless man on the street. Feeling empathy, worried and sorry for them. Dude probably doesn't know these are pre-recorded and thinks Librarian makes videos back to back.
@@lenanicole2837literally shut up, if you don’t know his schedule you surely would be, I was before I found out his videos were pre recorded, so chill out.
Im confused why did Jimmy crash it? what was that about the pregnant lady being scared to talk about "the baby" to Jim? I was only half paying attention at the middle and I dont want to rewatch it.
I think it’s implied that Jimmie r*ped Anya
Cause he assaulted her + she'd probably have to give birth while they're still on the ship, so EVERYONE would've known what he did, and there would be no way to get away with it. ran from the consequences of his own actions, responsibility and all
its implied Jimmy raped Anya and the baby would've been born around the time they got back. Jimmy being an upstanding guy, decided to crash the ship to avoid the consequences. Fortunately (or unfortunately) the crew survived the crash but Curly was badly injured leaving Jimmy to "take responsibility" for his actions.
@@kingamaturasu ahh thanks, I got that vibe but zoned out a little in the middle so I didn’t know if anything was actually stated.
@@Cole_1 anya mentioned how the sleeping quarters dont have locks.
please sir librarian check out abiotic factor, an scp/gmod/survival game
Hey you should explore the gmod map called OTHERWORLDS.
like burke in aliens. sabotage all but one cryopod, leaving you as the sole surviving crewmate with any story to tell about how your crewmates didn't make it.
Wonder if the librarian will play silent hill 2 remake?

141st day of recommending 8:11
Quiet, you furry.
@@nikolaiwarynski Mind explaining what that is?
@@FaceBack18 Horror 2D game with unique art-style, and pretty interesting, enigmatic storyline.
@@nikolaiwarynski So are Fear & Hunger and Darkwood, and they're much better.
@@FaceBack18 Maybe yes maybe not, but definetly 8:11 is less known than these two.
