Their ability to solve even the most complex puzzles vs. their inability to solve the most simplest ones is just astounding. See: the sliding puzzle vs. the FUN puzzle
I love how the 'cheat' they came up with for the slide puzzle is actually a million times more complicated and time-consuming than the actually simple slider puzzle answer.
I'm internally screaming as I watch them do this, lol. Not only is this literally a style of puzzle made for children, but it is is all kinds of video games, several of which I know for a fact Jirard has completed, so he can obviously figure it out after a bit of trail and error, yet the rest of the gang just can't help but over complicate it rather than just letting Jirard take the time to work it out.
They made it infinitely more difficult, it's literally a super simplistic 3x3 slide puzzle. It could've been a 9x9 and still be easier than what they did lol.
I love how long they spent looking for a fourth block because of their original assumption the word was "Doll", when there was a letter with one of the blocks which practically slaps them in the face with "house of FUN".
Reminds me of a prank in my high school where three rats were released into the halls, numbered 1, 2, and 4. Administration was looking for 3 for weeks.
When I say the note, I thought, "Jeez, could that be any more obvious? It says fun TWICE. And it's all caps the second time!" Then they completely ignored it. Good times
The initial dress for the character reminds me a LOT of American McGee's Alice. Same goes for the musical design, too. *Alice:* "I'll have the turtle shell now, you disgusting ogre." *Duchess:* "OVER MY DEAD BODY!" *Alice:* "I'll try to accommodate you."
I mean her name IS Alisa,and she's trapped in the doll house which IS a area on Madness Return's so,I'm ACTUALLY hoping the game to have more McGee's Alice references #-#
You guys know that there is a source reference called Alice in Wonderland for both games, right? The dress is reminiscent of American McGee's Alice because they both come from Tenniel's illustrations for the original books.
@@drudle Anyone knows this,were talking about Madness Return's and Alisa,not the original Alice In Wonderland,also they're interpretations of Alice's dress is pretty different in both so we're comparing them to each other because of they're similarities. But also Alisa's dress is inspired more in Lolita fashion than anything else so even comparing to Madness doesn't make sense now that I think about it......anyway 100% originality at this day an age is impossible since there's SO MANY creations so inspiration is inevitable.....but anyway no need to be a smarty-pants about it -_-"
Honestly it wouldn't be a true omage to the old resident evils if it didnt have weird voice acting, part of what made resident evil spooky was the uncannyness of it all.
I wonder if the squad will ever get back to the Fatal Frame series. I think I remember reading something that they may not return to it for one reason or another, but a man can be hopeful. On a random note, I would like the squad to check out "Death Mark" and its sequel, "Spirit Hunter:NG." I love how the guys pierce the lore together in the games they play and I think Death Mark is perfect for that due to its more investigatory nature. The games have their fair share of scares too and it would be interesting to see their reactions.
I bought the fatal frame series for 100 bucks recently which is a lot less compared to how it used to be, so maybe they might try it. Fatal frame 1 is a lot harder than the others though and teeters on bullshit so I would enjoy them playing it.
I'd love for them to play it with Alex. Or just finish Detention with the good ending. Based on real events. They would love it like JJ Macfield if they gave the story a chance I think
The "bedpan" at the start of the game would likely be used to place heated coals in to keep the foot of your bed warm, rather than what the SGS seems to imply. (Though not nearly as amusing)
I don't think so, those are usually flat rounded cylenders with a lid, because you don't want the coals to fall out, or touch anything. I think because it's a big ol' bowl that it's probably a bed pan
@@SPARR0E Since there is sinks and such I would assume they probably have a toilet somewhere in there as well. Just assuming from the general "time period vibe" it seemed more likely to me that it was a nod at the bed warmer rather than the bed pan :)
Its so cool that you guys are playing this!! This game looks so cool. I love how old school Resident Evil it looks. It's made really well too.. I'm excited for this 😎
Ooooo this is like a bastard child of classic RE and Clocktower that ISNT Haunting Ground. Someday they're gonna make HG affordable to the masses again and when they do I would dig seeing how the Squad went at it ;D
This game gives me SUCH an American McGee's Alice/Alice: Madness Returns vibe (but mainly the first game) mixed With Resident Evil. Even the music sounds like those first few levels! I'm here for it, though. I love it :)
Okay, it's just odd how SGS ends up playing a doll themed horror game right after I watched a film review of 1987's "Dolls"... It was meant to be. And I love it.
>thumbnail preview shows a slide puzzle and the "two hours later" intermission from Spongebob Ah, it looks like this SGS episode will feature a TRUE horror game.
The game *really* pulls off the look of PSX/PS1 generation graphics. The illusion only falls apart when the models move because the animation is so much smoother than anything from that era.
You guys are good at puzzles. Please play the Room. BTW: The bathroom door you couldn't open is a bug. "I found a bug that if you aim right after going through a door you can't use the action button (open doors or go through the stairs) and enter in any menu (the inventary or settings) but you can still walk and shoot."
Here's a solution for the sliding puzzle in 3 simple steps: First we're solving the right side of the puzzle forming a path from the end all the way up and bending to the left. RIGHT, DOWN, LEFT, DOWN, LEFT, UP, UP, RIGHT Don't move the right side pieces again. Now you can see that if you were to cycle the other 5 pieces (don't do it, just imagine it), the L shaped one and the horizontal one are in the wrong order in the train, we're gonna invert the order of these two. RIGHT, DOWN, LEFT, UP, RIGHT, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, UP, RIGHT Now all you need to do is cycle the left and middle columns until the path is complete. DOWN, LEFT, UP, UP, RIGHT, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, UP Puzzle complete.
Truly the scariest thing, watching these guys trying to solve puzzles.
Their ability to solve even the most complex puzzles vs. their inability to solve the most simplest ones is just astounding. See: the sliding puzzle vs. the FUN puzzle
Is Jirard ever at fault?
I love how the 'cheat' they came up with for the slide puzzle is actually a million times more complicated and time-consuming than the actually simple slider puzzle answer.

Jirard isnt the best at solving puzzle under pressure.
@@BPaulthegreat He was actually doing it at first one their second run through until everyone else told him to stop what he was doing.

Well,that's pretty normal tbh xD

@@drudle Awww poor little things :/ you're a meanie,leave them to fend for themselves in the middle of awful humans......
@@ameladaptivedaydreamer949 I didn't do it, lol. I said other people did it. Wasn't my decision!

Good times
Ayyyyyyy the game is fully released now! I really hope the squad comes back to it.
Sadly they did not come back to this ,demos that get full releases hardly see the light of day with these guys

Absolutely LOVE the aesthetics of this game. Classic Resident evil meets Rule of Rose vibes. Can't wait to see the finished game!

My god that looks so nostalgic for something released this recently, it reminds me of RE or clocktower

Jesse I’m currently rewatching your Skyrim series and might I say, you have never had a dull moment in your TH-cam career EVER. Best TH-camr ❤️
Video starts with "Hello everyone" instead of "Hello everybody." I don't even know who you are anymore.
We need more games likes this! Scary Game Squad makes life so much better.
This creepy doll house vibe is a 100% more skin crawling than hundreds of zombie horror games.
I love this style so much its so cool its coming back in this time!! I hope we get more of this style!!
I love this, it's Resident Evil nostalgia but with the fear of not knowing the game inside out yet.
I would love to see you all revisit this now that it's out in full!! It'll be funny to watch you all struggle with the puzzles all over again!
Loving the sgs shorts, thank you guys.
Ooooo this is like a bastard child of classic RE and Clocktower that ISNT Haunting Ground. Someday they're gonna make HG affordable to the masses again and when they do I would dig seeing how the Squad went at it ;D
Actually, I believe Jirard already owns Haunting Ground. Octopimp played it on stream last August, and he said he borrowed it from Jirard.
Got to love that they spend so much concerted time avoiding killing things.
5:37 I appreciate the Merry Wives of Windsor reference Alex 👍🏼😂
Yes we need more sgs in our lives
I immediately went and downloaded this, it looks so good.
This retro style made me want to see the squad play the old PC game Shivers. With the puzzles and everything I'd love to see how they playthrough it.
"Its a gun rack. We don't have 'a gun'" I got your Wayne's World reference bro!
That title card is dangerously close to hitting you with that gotcha finger loop
I LOVE Scary Game Squad.
The note at 33:17 sounds like something that the patients of The Research Hall in The Old Hunters would say.
Yessss! Missed you boys so much
Oh! I've been waiting for someone to play this ever since I saw it on Alpha Beta Gamer!
Hell yeah, the squad is back and ready to pee their pants in fear! Love y'all, keep up the great work!
you mean sqaud
@@bearzors Hell yeah, the Skary Gaem Sqaud, the less literate cousins of the SGS
This is a SGS upload schedule I can get behind. Gotta have the SQUAD!
I hope the dev keeps working on this.
Unironically cool game, but the voice acting was definately the scariest part lol
I'm actually wondering if that was intentional to fit the PS1 aesthetic.
God Sprockets?!? Haven’t thought of that in a LONG time. Best SNL cast for sure
What is a room if not a big drawer?
/edit/ bringing up the menu seemed to reset the enemies too
The girl in the fireplace is the doctor who ep. Might be my favorite episode. Victorian dressed clockwork creations in a palace

I'm here for it, though. I love it :)

Okay, it's just odd how SGS ends up playing a doll themed horror game right after I watched a film review of 1987's "Dolls"...
It was meant to be. And I love it.

Ah, it looks like this SGS episode will feature a TRUE horror game.
Definitely wasn’t expecting a Continue? reference, but I appreciate it.
Omg the acapella bebop opening at the beginning lol
Y’all should play Harvester if you ever do a SGS stream or something.
Is that voice actress Tommy Wiseau?
@AceFailure Oh hey Johnny what's up?
nope
"Toothwheel", huh? Are the devs German or sth? Over here, the most common term for those gears is "Zahnrad" - toothwheel, when translated piecemeal.
Girl sounded like a polish friend of mine 😅
It's one dev, and he is from Belgium.
@@evelienbollaert2139 In that case the logic still applies. A 'tandrad' (toothwheel) is a gear.
@@8eewee yup
The game calls them cogs in other parts, it's possible "toothwheel" is meant to sound like what a child would call them
When you're so early that there's a mistake in the title
Scary Game *Sqaud*
When you're 5 hours late and there's still a mistake in the title.
@@A_Ereira its now been a working day later (~9 hours) and its still the sqaud playing games :D
Hey Jesse! I'd really like to see you and the gang play Simulacra 2 :)
The game *really* pulls off the look of PSX/PS1 generation graphics. The illusion only falls apart when the models move because the animation is so much smoother than anything from that era.
I hope it comes out this September as planned
It's on Kickstarter for a few more days!
Looking forward to you guys playing the new Simulacra game.
"they remind me of a very specific episode of dr. who" GIRL IN THE FIREPLACE
I love the sound the monsters make- I dunno why, though
We need more retro PS1-like games. I really feel like this is an untapped market
Jirard just goin nuts on the puzzle made me laugh
Glad I'm not the only one that thinks slide puzzles are a special layer of hell
i love you guys. so much
Y'all can't play a PS1 style horror game on this show and not play a Puppet Combo game too right?? I'm begging you fellas it needs to happen 🙏
Happy valentine's day Spooky gang !!!!
We need the riddle bros to join the scary game squad for this!
I have such nostalgia for my ps1/ps2 years 😌
Nice, just watched bawkbasoup play this so interested to hear your guys thoughts.
The thumbnail for this video made me think it was going to be a game about the Three Kids.
I just recently played the demo, it's pretty rad! The main voice actress sounds a bit like Mei from Overwatch or B-Mo from Adventure Time.
SGS on Valentine's Day?!
Aww...you shouldn't have.
Great vid as awlays
44:08 toothwheel bundle. 3-4 wheels?
Hey Jesse, the full game is out now. Just letting you know.😉
Great you guys managed to break the big baby doll guy....... goddamnit xD

10:10 legit made me jump, gdi
Since enemies drop currency I wonder if you're supposed to fight more
i love scary game squad!
"That guy was the boss, F*** that guy"
i just started the video but if Alex doesn't mention Gef the mongoose then what's the point of a puppet living in the walls???
There was a Medikit in the bathroom where you guys thought you got stuck.

just saw jacksepticeye play this, was hoping SGS was going to take it out for a spin and I guess my prayers were heard! thank u dark lord cthulhu!
Yes
I don't know why, but this gives me Alone in the Dark vibes.
This game is my aesthetic
toothwheel is the literal translation from the German (and I'm certain other languages) word for cog/gear
You guys need to play lost in vivo
Jirard the Completionist doing a puzzle ladies and gentleman.
SGS should attempt an OSRS sliding puzzle.
Was Legacy of Kain the only ps1 and ps2 games with good voice acting? XD
