So I did a little hunting and found something cool. In the first game, you hear the voice on the phone say "z-h-e-q-r-e-r-e" over and over. It doesn't make a word, but you're supposed to use a letter substitution cipher that converts it into "murderer." The reason the game is called Rot is because it wants you to translate it into ROT13, which if you haven't heard of before, it takes each letter of a word and replaces it with the 13th letter after it. Maybe you already knew that, but if you didn't, I hope you thought it was cool too! Pretty clever of them if I do say so myself.
Hey! I recognize the first game name and theme! It's based off that Silent Hill short video with the same name. *Then sees Mark notice at the end of the game* Oh...nevermind.
mark’s facecam freezing in the first game and then the world actually freezing within the game was kinda cool actually, also the constant side glances had me dead 😂
That first game was a work of art. That’s something I would be petrified of, the vague sounds and the beautiful forest? This game makes no sense but is so beautifully crafted. This is definitely a nightmare I would have.
For those of you confused, the ROT game is based on the ROT short film from Corridor Digital. ROT 13 is a type of substitution cypher when you swap the letter for one 13 letters ahead of it. If you apply this to the letters the radio is saying you get "MURDERER". I believe the implication is that your character was on their phone and caused a car accident that killed a woman and her unborn child.
ChiaroscuroxX OKAY THANK YOU. Cuz neither the Kickstarter for the film nor the game’s website mention each other, and I was confused as to which came first.
Rot was based on a short Silent Hill fan film of the same name. I think the story is that he hit a pregnant woman while texting and driving and crushed her unborn child. The film explains it a lot better than the game, and Pyramid Head makes a cameo. Its very P.T. inspired with its own twist.
30:35 Some advice for the 0.05% of you who will be stabbed at some point this year: If you get stabbed in the gut, _do not_ try to remove it like this guy did. The knife, in a paradoxical way, is likely the only thing preventing you from dying. This is because the knife is staunching the flow of blood trying to leave your body, preventing you from bleeding out. Try to calm down as much as you can (considering the circumstances), move as little as possible, and try to get some help.
Especially if the blade has odd numbered edges. Risk of infection is high if you pull out the blade without medical help, but even worse if the stab wound is irregularly shaped. This means your body can't naturally close the hole, like fitting a triangle into a circle. There will be gaps that will let infection in :>
Fun fact, the third game is based on the deepest hole ever dug, the game was right as it is in Siberia, and supposedly there's a legend that a demon of some sort escaped through it and that why it was decommissioned and sealed never to be opened again
@@Jndbgames I read that they stopped digging because at a certain point the rock turns into melty plastic because it's so hot and becomes next to impossible to burrow through by conventional means... Or maybe it was demons, who really knows.
I was watching this with headphones on and I heard knocking so I took my headphones off and I didn’t hear anything else so I went back and replayed the part where I heard the knocking and I heard nothing so now I’m really scared
I like turtles because they're so chill. They don't hurt anyone. They're just like "hey man, I want to swim, and maybe eat some lettuce. But I'm gonna take my time. I'm not in a rush. Because I'm a turtle".
Wait, at 5:58 in the first game he uses the power of za warudo, and come to think of it, that might be why his webcam froze... Darkiplier is also Dio... it makes so much sense...
@@crow_with_a_knife No judging. The riddle, if you would call it that, counts the number of letters in each word. Like how it says, what has four letters, W(1) H(2) A(3) T(4), and so on for the other two words

That “April Fools” game was actually really good and I was really into the story 😂😂I liked the ending too how it didn’t reveal the secret. It’s a good movie idea.
Makes me think of the movie Doubt. It builds this big tension and story around a pastor possibly abusing a child but never actually reveals what happened, if anything at all.
Loving the silent hill sounds in the first game! The radio static, the siren etc. A bit naughty to use them but it still warms my old heart to hear the sounds of...home.
@chmiv7465 3 years or not, my love for Silent Hill is eternal and devoted! Hearing the sounds anywhere pricks up my ears and I feel like I'm home 🥺✨️🩷✨️☁️🩸🔦
@@WillieManga there's not a game out there who can compare. I wonder if I'm the only one who thinks of Silent Hill as home..like my soul belongs there.. in the town of silent spirits. At least I'd actually get some damn peace and quiet 😫

This brings me back to Halo 2. But thats the only game in the franchise that actually HAS enof horror. I love taking the longer routes. Theyre so fun. Especially on Legendary. (not every mission, just the 1s with the flood. Fighting the covenant is just pure monotony) If only the jack-rabit zip zappers took the same amount of dablige to you, like on Heroic. Also the missions; personally, i think they should be just a tad longer.
Get Keen Mark: " this is not my cameras fault, this is something else entirely... Why are you doing this?". *screen glitches and the classic Darkiplier colours cover marks face*
@@jameswent48 Ah, yes. See, the problem is this comment also has 3 others that commented on it. So there are at least 3 people that care. But in all honesty, what makes your opinion more significant?
Fun fact "the sounds from hell" clip in the last game is an actual recording taken from a microphone dropped way down into a hole in Siberia and the recording was named exactly that, "sounds from hell"
Around 10:30 of the video, the walkie-talkie repeats the letters "zheqrere". When put through a Caesar cipher at 13, it translates to "murderer". I just thought that was cool.
Mark: "Who volunteered for the middle seat?" No one does; the middle seat is the sacrifice seat for either the middle child or the smallest person in the back. At least it was for my family/friends.
I have to say... Seeing Rot's air siren scene 4:26 was not only fantastic looking, it felt quite immersive. This is the first time in... ever... that a non-violent non-jump scare game scene had me feel apprehensive. The trees going from straight up to realistically bending in the wind as the sky darkens into a deep crimson is my absolute favorite new scene. The lightning flash to set the trees in motion was also well done, as was the air being pushed in front of... whatever is going on. Imagine being at the start of a Fallout game as this happened? Being in the lush growth of a forest near your survival shelter in the forest as THIS happens at the start of the game! O_O I legit full screened this part and watched it a few times it was so good!
I enjoyed that it was a similar sound to silent hill games. And considering that konami butchered it's name and wants people to forget it. I was glad to see that people still value it.
It's based of a town in my state, so I think it's pretty cool! I love the psychological horror that was used in the games. In my opinion as well as others, Silent Hill was one of the best horror games. If not for the story, but for the horror mechanics that made you go mad. I was so upset that PT was canceled...it had great potential.
Just love Mark's reaction: "Oh this place is nicely lit" I'm sitting here like: "Don't trust it" I've played too many horror games to know that false sense of security is a constant.
As someone who absolutely fears playing horror games by myself, this is very very true. Don't trust calm/nice music playing too. Never making that mistake again..
@@sleepy_artemis I bet my mother has high anxiety, I come around the corner and say hi and she doesn't know I'm there bad thing, she'll be freaked out the whole day, I've tried everything from knocking to jangling my keys to let her know still scares her. So her playing horror games never gonna happen
So is the first game a man trying to mentally cope with being responsible for a horrible car accident? The phone texts showed he was texting and driving? The screams were of the family and the baby he hit? Was he in limbo, on the edge of death? The ambulance noises and the defibrillator sounds goes along with it too. If so I love it even more! An in depth view into a person trying to cope with causing an innocent’s death while hanging on the edge of death itself. Beautiful.
And what were the gunshots? Or the monster? Or if that lady always asked if he remembers? Okay, that may be because he caused the incident, but still, many elements are unclear to me.
ADG Azushin well there was a woman crying on the ground who may have been a survivor of the crash grieving over her lost child that we heard crying, so maybe he couldn’t handle it and tried to kill her?? The voice of do you remember would align with that as well: her voice from beyond death calling for recognition for what he had done. The monster might be a physical/psychological representation of his guilt haunting him. The ones he had killed because of his carelessness. But I haven’t see Silent Hill- Rot so idk...
If you are to pause the video with each glitch on his camera. Two important things to note are: 1: The transitions are the same color that Darkiplier uses when he is glitching. They feature the same colors, and they are in a fashion that Darkiplier uses. His camera glitching, along with the fact that Darkiplier is a glitch. You can tell that this is clearly Markiplier subtly giving acknowledgement to Darkiplier 2: In a couple distinct transitions with Markipliers camera. You actually see Darkiplier. All of them in which Darkiplier is smiling eerily, before Markiplier himself takes the camera back over. With Matpats theory. This is clearly Markiplier displaying in this video that he was losing the battle, and that Darkiplier was taking over. Although he was able to suppress him, Darkiplier still tried. I know I am going way too deep into this, and dissecting it may have seemed like a waste of time. With me doing it though, I can now confirm Darkiplier was in this video.
“Oh this isn’t my cameras fault this time! It’s something else entirely...” Time to analyze another video Edit- notice how the glitches and tv fuzz match Dark’s last video (also briefly in Markiplier’s Terrible Day, and in Don’t Remember...)
5:09 Mark: "AHHHH MY CAMERA! It froze! Why? WHY?! Whenever I look away! COME BAAAACK!!!" 38:14 Mark: "Is that a spooking chair? IT'S A SPOOKING CHAIR!" 39:06 Mark: "WTF?!?! OH SHIT!!! 😱😱
32:40 omg I've actually heard that before. I was doing a research essay in high school about unexplained phenomenons, and found this sound clip. It was supposedly the noises that miners heard after digging so deep into the earth. They thought they heard the screams of Hell... I didn't sleep well that night ;_;
This was debunked, the screams are different looped sound effects, including the soundtrack of a film called Baron Blood. But it's still pretty scary to listen, I'll admit.
Same! When I was barely a teenager in the very early days of the internet I found the link. With my dial-up it took over an hour to download, and another few weeks before I had the courage to listen to it. When I was very small, my grandmother had a newspaper article about those same miners and the sounds they'd heard, so I was already familiar with the story before the audio clip.
Yeah. Give me goosebumps everytime. It was said that they were trying to record the sound of the Earth's core using a hypersensitive mic. In the end, that's the one they caught.
My guess after watching corridor’s short is that the guy got in a car crash, killing a woman and her baby. He went into a coma and went into a sort of Groundhog Day type loop, where you have to do something to get out of it (in this case remember something). Maybe the swat guy was sent by his brain as a sort of kickstart? I really don’t have any theory why he could be there.
The first game got inspired by *"Silent Hill"* mostly *"Silent Hill: Origins"* is it weird that I want mark to make a playthrough of Silent Hill: Origins after all these years? 😂

That's a pretty cool bit of trivia. Thank you for that.
Isn't Rot kinda based off the horror short made by Corridor?
I think that I heard about ROT13 once during a class or something like that. But it's cool that they used it in the game.
mark’s facecam freezing in the first game and then the world actually freezing within the game was kinda cool actually, also the constant side glances had me dead 😂
His camera freezing was the funniest thing ever
I didnt really expect that to happen lmao couldnt stop laughing😂😂

I was super impressed by these devs making the graphics look gorgeous by the flow of the trees and the realistic sounds of the wind. Very well-done!
Honestly reminds me of hell. Repeating a nightmare and repeating death again and again.
i think its meant to be a silent hill type story with an eternal punishment sort of thing. plus the siren and the black cloud make it a bit obvious.
The Titel probably also refers to the German word "rot" which is red and might indicate he drove a red light
Maybe I’m stoopid, but it looked like a whole load of nonsense with no sense of cohesion or thought up until around the end.

Especially if the blade has odd numbered edges. Risk of infection is high if you pull out the blade without medical help, but even worse if the stab wound is irregularly shaped. This means your body can't naturally close the hole, like fitting a triangle into a circle. There will be gaps that will let infection in :>

thank you for the time stamps!
That “April Fools” game was actually really good and I was really into the story 😂😂I liked the ending too how it didn’t reveal the secret. It’s a good movie idea.
That made me think of Inception!
Makes me think of the movie Doubt. It builds this big tension and story around a pastor possibly abusing a child but never actually reveals what happened, if anything at all.
Lol people hate those kind of movies
Amogus
Pulp Fiction did it best
2:37 anyone else more concerned about his face cam then the actual game play? 😂
Everyone after seeing MatPat's video: *checks every inch of the screen, slows time down to 0.25, deciphers marks facial expressions.*
Alexxx I related to this way to much
And his voice
You're absolutely right about that mate
exactly
You're so right and I absolutely hate it, I just wanna watch a normal let's play and leave the skits in the skits videos
9:22 omg the voice acting is just amazing right there
I'm not sure why, but the siren + the trees bending like that just filled me with dread... Well done, game dev.
im pretty sure thats a tornado siren
Pretty sure Silent Hill installed that fear into me, along with nuke videos.
It's okay. Most of us are scared of the Blitzkrieg.
ShyDragonGirl same, I literally turned the volume down and took out my headphones
I can never hear sirens without freaking out now

Loving the silent hill sounds in the first game! The radio static, the siren etc. A bit naughty to use them but it still warms my old heart to hear the sounds of...home.
3 years late, but glad I’m not the only one who appreciates it!
@chmiv7465 3 years or not, my love for Silent Hill is eternal and devoted! Hearing the sounds anywhere pricks up my ears and I feel like I'm home 🥺✨️🩷✨️☁️🩸🔦
The static, the siren, the sychological scares... yeah, I know.
@@WillieManga there's not a game out there who can compare. I wonder if I'm the only one who thinks of Silent Hill as home..like my soul belongs there.. in the town of silent spirits. At least I'd actually get some damn peace and quiet 😫

This brings me back to Halo 2. But thats the only game in the franchise that actually HAS enof horror. I love taking the longer routes. Theyre so fun. Especially on Legendary. (not every mission, just the 1s with the flood. Fighting the covenant is just pure monotony)
If only the jack-rabit zip zappers took the same amount of dablige to you, like on Heroic.
Also the missions; personally, i think they should be just a tad longer.

@@jameswent48 Ah, yes. See, the problem is this comment also has 3 others that commented on it. So there are at least 3 people that care. But in all honesty, what makes your opinion more significant?
Fun fact
"the sounds from hell" clip in the last game is an actual recording taken from a microphone dropped way down into a hole in Siberia and the recording was named exactly that, "sounds from hell"
sounds from -Baron Blood- hell
I do reconize art bell's voice :P
that’s what i thought! but i couldn’t remember if it was one of those elaborated scams or something
Fun fact
That isn't a fact. It's an easily verifiable debunked hoax that was originally propagated by Christian TV broadcasters.
No, it's not. It's from an Italian movie, people just made up the hell story.
Around 10:30 of the video, the walkie-talkie repeats the letters "zheqrere". When put through a Caesar cipher at 13, it translates to "murderer". I just thought that was cool.
WHO IS READY FOR HALLOWEEN?

Mark: "Who volunteered for the middle seat?"
No one does; the middle seat is the sacrifice seat for either the middle child or the smallest person in the back.
At least it was for my family/friends.
I-
I'm scared of the middle seat now-
I have to say... Seeing Rot's air siren scene 4:26 was not only fantastic looking, it felt quite immersive.
This is the first time in... ever... that a non-violent non-jump scare game scene had me feel apprehensive.
The trees going from straight up to realistically bending in the wind as the sky darkens into a deep crimson is my absolute favorite new scene. The lightning flash to set the trees in motion was also well done, as was the air being pushed in front of... whatever is going on.
Imagine being at the start of a Fallout game as this happened? Being in the lush growth of a forest near your survival shelter in the forest as THIS happens at the start of the game! O_O
I legit full screened this part and watched it a few times it was so good!
Holy shit
Makes me think of Silent Hill! It is a very eerie sound.
I enjoyed that it was a similar sound to silent hill games. And considering that konami butchered it's name and wants people to forget it. I was glad to see that people still value it.
Watch corridors vid rot, which this game I'm pretty sure stole audio from
It's based of a town in my state, so I think it's pretty cool! I love the psychological horror that was used in the games. In my opinion as well as others, Silent Hill was one of the best horror games. If not for the story, but for the horror mechanics that made you go mad.
I was so upset that PT was canceled...it had great potential.
2:19 to 2:25 I thought he held the same facial expression for 6 seconds lol
Just love Mark's reaction: "Oh this place is nicely lit" I'm sitting here like: "Don't trust it" I've played too many horror games to know that false sense of security is a constant.
As someone who absolutely fears playing horror games by myself, this is very very true. Don't trust calm/nice music playing too. Never making that mistake again..
It’s literally “expect the unexpected” and you have to be on high alert all time- definitely not good for my high anxiety-

So is the first game a man trying to mentally cope with being responsible for a horrible car accident? The phone texts showed he was texting and driving? The screams were of the family and the baby he hit? Was he in limbo, on the edge of death? The ambulance noises and the defibrillator sounds goes along with it too. If so I love it even more! An in depth view into a person trying to cope with causing an innocent’s death while hanging on the edge of death itself. Beautiful.
Look up "Rot - Silent Hill" and watch the vid that the game is based on.
And what were the gunshots? Or the monster? Or if that lady always asked if he remembers? Okay, that may be because he caused the incident, but still, many elements are unclear to me.
ADG Azushin well there was a woman crying on the ground who may have been a survivor of the crash grieving over her lost child that we heard crying, so maybe he couldn’t handle it and tried to kill her?? The voice of do you remember would align with that as well: her voice from beyond death calling for recognition for what he had done. The monster might be a physical/psychological representation of his guilt haunting him. The ones he had killed because of his carelessness. But I haven’t see Silent Hill- Rot so idk...
RyojinOrion ok thx for the info 👍
The part where the camera froze on these awkward faces made me laugh so hard
3:23 *MARK STAAAAP THAT*
If you are to pause the video with each glitch on his camera. Two important things to note are:
1: The transitions are the same color that Darkiplier uses when he is glitching. They feature the same colors, and they are in a fashion that Darkiplier uses. His camera glitching, along with the fact that Darkiplier is a glitch. You can tell that this is clearly Markiplier subtly giving acknowledgement to Darkiplier
2: In a couple distinct transitions with Markipliers camera. You actually see Darkiplier. All of them in which Darkiplier is smiling eerily, before Markiplier himself takes the camera back over.
With Matpats theory. This is clearly Markiplier displaying in this video that he was losing the battle, and that Darkiplier was taking over. Although he was able to suppress him, Darkiplier still tried. I know I am going way too deep into this, and dissecting it may have seemed like a waste of time. With me doing it though, I can now confirm Darkiplier was in this video.
coolsun101 MLG I thought I was going crazy seeing him haha
Do you think he’s responding to Matt’s theory ??
lone star I believe this was done in response to Matpats theory, and it would make since if it was.
Also, listen to the outro music. It becomes distorted.
So this all happened because of mat's theory ? ._.

HOLY CRAP DARKIPLIER IS TAKING OVER THE CHANNEL
Technical difficulty xD
Yeah, I thought it was weird that the whole screen had static and not just the web cam.
Yes bob yes he is
Word yo😂😂
Why hasn't anyone else commented about this??
In the first game when the trees started blowing around, a nuke was being dropped. That explains the warning siren.
But then a storm rolled over?
@@adammezza5362 that might have been the shockwave/dust form the nuclear blast
yo rot is a movie right
Those glitches remind me of the TV thing and the one in Wilford Motherlovin Warfstache

Ohhh the guy in the thumnail looks soooo friendllyy

When I showed the thumbnail to my friend on my bus he screamed like a girl😂
He is, actually. Name's Jim, real nice fella.
“Oh this isn’t my cameras fault this time! It’s something else entirely...”
Time to analyze another video
Edit- notice how the glitches and tv fuzz match Dark’s last video (also briefly in Markiplier’s Terrible Day, and in Don’t Remember...)
It's darkiplier and the rest of them trying to take over the channel.
"it's something else entirely..." was definitely foreshadowing
HURRY, GAME THEORY
@@evelinanacheva3739 Matpat actually did cover this! (Unless you're talking about him making a second video on it)
He played a game last week where his camera messed up lol

32:40 omg I've actually heard that before. I was doing a research essay in high school about unexplained phenomenons, and found this sound clip. It was supposedly the noises that miners heard after digging so deep into the earth. They thought they heard the screams of Hell... I didn't sleep well that night ;_;
Is it still unexplained or have they found out why that happened?
This was debunked, the screams are different looped sound effects, including the soundtrack of a film called Baron Blood. But it's still pretty scary to listen, I'll admit.
Same! When I was barely a teenager in the very early days of the internet I found the link. With my dial-up it took over an hour to download, and another few weeks before I had the courage to listen to it. When I was very small, my grandmother had a newspaper article about those same miners and the sounds they'd heard, so I was already familiar with the story before the audio clip.
Same sh*t, my underwear almost turned into brown cuz I was watching this late at night yesterday.
Yeah. Give me goosebumps everytime. It was said that they were trying to record the sound of the Earth's core using a hypersensitive mic. In the end, that's the one they caught.
My guess after watching corridor’s short is that the guy got in a car crash, killing a woman and her baby. He went into a coma and went into a sort of Groundhog Day type loop, where you have to do something to get out of it (in this case remember something). Maybe the swat guy was sent by his brain as a sort of kickstart? I really don’t have any theory why he could be there.
The first game got inspired by *"Silent Hill"* mostly *"Silent Hill: Origins"* is it weird that I want mark to make a playthrough of Silent Hill: Origins after all these years? 😂
It was mentioned in the credits of the game o.o
Corridor digital did a short film on the same premise. from my recollection its almost identical.
