I cannot begin to describe how divine the timing on 1:23:55 was. Also a note: the first decimal on the odometer is not a whole kilometer, but 100 meters each. The game is pretty accurate with distances, actually.
Is its speedometer also accurate? I've watched videos of games and they usually feel like they're exaggerating, like they'll claim the player is going 100 MPH when it only looks like they're moving at half that speed. Games that aim to be super fast racing games like the F-Zero games take this up to 11. They will state you're going 1-2 thousand kilometers per hour but even they feel like they're over-exaggerating and lying to give the player a placebo effect.
@@XaneMyers I will say this. The way the car behaved at its stated 95 on the speedometer was super accurate. If it is mph that is. Because around 90-95mph any small adjustment does make the car wobble. So when I go fast on the highway I keep it below 90, I tried pushing 100 once and realized going over 90 was too dangerous. The steering wheel doesn't steer the way it would at lower speed. You nudge it lightly and you almost veer off the road. But if it is in kmh, that is very inaccurate because 60mph is still very maneuverable.
@@XaneMyers they are. In fact, speedos in game are separate from the wheels' turning speed, and instead dependent on the actual speed of the car itself. So you could be hurtling through the air, and speedo will show your speed.

This game was made by 1 Hungarian guy to simulate the average Hungarian road trip, the only exception is that it's much safer in the game with less zombies. Also there are a few references in the game, like the traditional Hungarian sausage, and the redhead girl bobblehead is a popular Hungarian streamer named DoggyAndi.

@@Shaun_Badmameven if you play a lot of a game it feels like hours are hard to get by unless you play the game EVERY SINGLE DAY or keep it running for months straight
This is definitely one of those "slapstick horror" games like Voices of the Void where it can legitimately be scary, but the scares are often built on the back of some very silly humor.
Some tips for making your car look pretty You can find wire brushes to get rid of rust on the worst parts Then use the sponges to tidy up the parts And last you can find orange spray bottles that can polish the parts You can also find various paint cans to change part colors Also the yellow number on your odometer is a decimal point, you've only actually driven 110 kilometers
and with the odometer saying that he has only driven 110km the distance is pretty much scaled realistically knowing that he averaged about 100kmh to 150kmh with having a hour on the road along with some time outside of the road
I just wanted to let you know that you're my go-to channel for late evenings when i'm just looking for cozy long videos to watch. I like the comfy horror thing you have going here and i'm happy about every upload! Keep up the great work and thanks for putting in the extra effort! :)
Here's a spooky story my old band teacher told me for ya Librarian: "one day you're checking your old photos on your phone, yknow, deleting ones you dont like or favoriting others; when suddenly you stumble across a photo of you, sleeping. You never took this photo and you live alone." love the video!
Tips: -Tab is to equip and unequip items -Bus has a green switch under the front bumper that opens the doors, you gotta crouch to see. -Rust and decay indicates how damaged and object is and can be undone with a wire brush. - in addition paint, sponge, and spray polish can be used to improve the look of the car, spray takes 4ish sprays to improve - the tower that you found first can be entered you just have to jump and crouch at the same time, and inside is a large water source you can fill containers with. -put ammo into inventory and equip gun into other slot to reload it That’s all I can think of to the point where I’ve watched this far
i love how he spent the first 10 minutes of the video checking out the house and cleaning it, packing up stuff while me and my friend would just take the giraafe put in the hood pray to god we find a 20 liter fuel canister and then just drive
@JimmyButBetter I remotely viewed it yesterday on a strangers television, so it's all set. Yes, I have that power, and no, I am not able to teach you. I've already said too much. Have a nice day.
Honestly you've become my favourite youtuber the past year. There's nothing better than laying down under a warm thick blanket in your cold room watching a guy with a soothing voice play a very comfy game. It's even better when you have something to eat or snack on.
I'm glad you're playing this through the lens of appreciating the ambience and the trip. Most youtubers that I watch playing this always does the "le wacky road trip ecksdee" that doesn't do the atmosphere and isolation this game gives any justice.
i just love the games that are said to be kinda boring, cause the librarian just start to talk about all kinds of things and its so nice to drift off to.
I remember seeing this game a while back. I never bought this game, however I always have wanted to for the way it presents itself as a mix of a survival game and mechanic simulator. For me, It has also had this perfectly eerie atmosphere that really sets it apart from a lot of other games.
This is the most endearing and immersive approach to TLD that I have seen. A completely fresh experience. There have obviously been no prior spoilers to give away what to expect. No overly silly/ridiculous shenanigans/stunts presented. Just a wholesome, realistic approach - as if he's actually been put into this situation: a protagonist setting off on his way to visit his mother, in a mysterious post-apocalyptic setting. Your comments remind me of my thoughts when I first played it. I truly love this. Favourite TLD playthrough I've seen in a long time! I really do hope you continue this series 🙏🏻 I would follow every episode. [I've been watching another YT'ers playthrough of this for years now. Driving all the way back and forth, each time; escalating the challenge. But this is refreshing. It's also a great game to play and record while you just let your thoughts wonder. Not many games provide a space for that. PS: BTW, yes, the mechanics, controls and physics can be extremely wonky here - but that is sort of the charm of the game. Hope that's not putting you off it completely. It all becomes second nature after a few try's. The encounters with scary bunnies (and other things) as well. More often than not, they just run into a wall and die getting stuck in it, though... 😛 PPS: Don't be afraid to experiment And try out various things. There are a lot of surprises ("puzzles") the developers left in to see if we can figure out.
this reminds me of a really weird SCP I read about an inescapable one way road that has a ton of people inside it but all of them settled down in these roadside houses created just for them. I always thought it was a terrifying concept to be trapped forever on an unending road, with the only person to escape dying of a heart attack after a mysterious knock on his window and a "that's so beautiful moment" but people seemed to think it was a good think, despite the side tangent about the woman sending a message to the kids she hasn't seen for ten years. But y'know seeing how much people love this game, which is pretty similar in my eyes, I kinda get it now, though I'd still hate to be trapped in it I can understand why people had a more positive view on the idea and the atmosphere that the story conveyed
Hey librarian, to your point of taking a train out west... A few weeks ago I took Amtrak from my home in Chicago to Seattle. Myself and two family members wanted to hike Olympic National Park. The trip took about two full days and though it was certainly a novel experience I don't regret doing, it's not something I would likely do again. Something about being cooped up in a can for two days with no shower or bed eating really poor food just makes you miserable. I even stayed off my phone almost the whole time and looked out the windows. Still got off that train feeling like garbage Though, there was something romantic about traveling America the old fashioned way. You were also quite a lot closer to the environment and got to see parts of the US that otherwise you would never see. There were some incredible landscapes and views that you would never get from the road, and the people were also lovely to get to know only if for a few hours. I say have at it, but know what you are getting yourself into.
Well, I certainly want to watch a new episode of this game and hear the soothing voice of The Librarian making a commentary on the environment and atmosphere while encountering weird stuffs on the way.
Please, please, please make more ! I really like watching people playing this game, making up their own theories and sharing their experience. It feels so cozy. But to be real nobody do it quite like you it's almost like we're on a real roadtrip with you !
I would check the fluid caps under your hood, when you went sideways there towards the end you were definitely drinking something that was spilling out of the engine compartment😂 I could definitely watch more of this!
Hey a HUGE FYI, don't save and quit near buildings/structures, ALWAYS be a decent ways away from any, saves tend to corrupt with messing up the terrain and clipping vehicles off the map if you do so in my experience
Excited to watch you play this. I've seen a couple streamers play it but it's always a chaotic, goofy mess with them. The vibe for your video, and hopefully series, is way different and refreshing.
i discovered your channel from the first episode of Minecraft From the Fog, i remember it so clearly. Ever since then your videos have brought me lots of hapiness and coziness. Thank you Librarian. Also I don't think i'm alone when i say that it'd be nice with some more minecraft videos, especially long ones!
i have tips -the radios have sooooooooo many channels for you to switch through on the fm side -they have a gradient in clearness so you were on the edge of a radio station, they get a lot clearer as you get to the exact frequency -my favorite being fm 94.1 steel pants radio -there is also an am side which has 4 stations i think 630, 800, 1080 (custom radio), and 1330 -630 being the exact same radio station as steel pants radio except without any songs with words or steel pants radio news or anything else - *your doors dont match* - *stop leavings your gas cap and other containers open* you can hear them pouring their contents when you tipped over -ufo turns off all electricity powered stuffs - "the apocalypse happened in 1979 as you know" -there is a light behind your seat in your current car, interact with it to switch it between 'off', 'on when door open' and 'on' -they can be in different places depending on the car -rabbits *will* murder you (unless peaceful) -the guys that are like zombies will not spawn in peaceful -your radiator wasn't as good quality as it could be because it was a little rusty, if you start another save i recommend checking the radiator (unless VW bug or two stroke car) - *some cars require oil in the gas tank at ~3%* -they have no oil tank -the small amount of oil in your 100% gas doesn't really do much of anything to your car's performance i think (just tints the exhaust blue) -the bus, ifa w50 (which you didnt find) vw caddy, and sometimes vw golf's engines run on diesel -you can tell the difference between the diesel golf engine and gas engine by seeing if there is one of those round air filters; yes=gas, no=diesel -the bus engine is massive -planes are indeed still in the sky -the fastest engine is the Plymouth v8 thingy and it has two oval gray things and the sides are yellow -the vw cars have -there is in fact a mod that makes every one of those distance meters continue from the first car (I don't know if the crate pieces disappear in the base game, if so that also happens in the better crates mod, which also has a secret red ufo which takes parts off your car) -you can make your car look better by using the rust brush (for rust), jizz-o-nit car polish (for shining white rust or rough paint) and the sponge (just rough paint I think) -don't use brushes on tires, clean parts, and sun visors -if you crash hard enough you will end up with blood on the dash, you can clean that with a sponge -also *there is no battery drainage system* in the game right now, so feel free to leave the lights on. -wheels can not go on your car when the hubcaps are on just so you know -baskets can be attached to your car and those things can be used for storage due to the fact they have physics lock -I highly suggest that you turn on *whole interior+* for physics lock in the settings if you haven't already -mirages don't exist im sure -that would be cool though -the *strange* lights in the sky are ufos, but there are only green ufos in the base game -you can shoot yourself - *the bb gun needs to be reloaded by:* THE AMMO NEEDS TO BE IN INVENTORY -1 *holding R* -2 *moving mouse down* -3 *pressing r* -4 *now close the gun by reversing step 2* -5 *pow* -the shotgun and revolver can be reloaded the same way -the ak on the other hand needs a mag - *don't forget to check the oil tank every once in a while* -some cars have a removable grill with integrated headlights -headlights can be removed and placed into the gauge spot and work -gauges can be removed and placed into the headlight spot and work - *once i found 8 wh0le people worth of blood in a barrel*\ -the desert rocks have nothing -you found a water tower and didn't jump into the hole - *you can basically fly by spamming jump against a wall* - *you can ride ufos* -you can also change your character in the settings menu - *THE SQUARE FLASH LIGHTS CAN BE USED AS HAND HELD FLASH LIGHTS*
This was pretty funny. I appreciate thst he appreciated all the small details. He said he doesn’t drive so calling the sun visors flappy things and fuel gauge as fuel monitor was fun to see.
Would love to see more, there aren’t enough creepy driving games on the market, so seeing the Librarian + Creepy Driving Game Genre combo was definitely a treat
Finding out through this video that I’m not the only one who doesn’t know how to drive as an adult is so relieving 😂 librarian we’re in the same club for now
never expected you to play this game. a welcome surprise. it definitely has its weird liminal moments where you cant even tell if your moving anymore. this game weird really works to give you that highway hypnosis. a quirky, fun game for sure.
It's weird because there's so much jank but then there's also little gems of impressive physics like the way the bat realistically swings and sways with the motion of the car
Thank you, thank you, thank you for finally doing a video on this game. It is so close to my heart, even though it is a silly car game. The vibes are indescribable and mysterious, perfect for your channel.
1:46:00 This is why you always make sure to close the oil cap on your engine. As your car was rolling, the oil was leaking out. However, it is mighty impressive that you actually managed to drink some of said oil, well done. It might spoil the fun a little, but at some point you should try dissassembling a car as much as possible, just to get a feel for what parts are removable, replacable and upgradable. But not knowing how deep a game is can often be a driving point to keep you interested in the game, so you might not want to do this immediately.
Oh boy this game is something else. Iv played this game on my own and with friends, needs a lot more work, but I’m very excited to see where this game goes. Hope you enjoy your time with it
The long drive is my favorite game of all time, but every dang youtuber that plays it just memes on it. Thanks so much for playing it with your unique perspective.
This would be such a great series!! This was genuinely one of the most comforting yet thrilling two hours of TH-cam I have ever watched! You’re honestly great at accomplishing both of those things in all of your videos, but it synergies perfectly with this game and I love it so much. If you read this, keep up the good work! You’re amongst my favorite content creators period. It’s a delight watching a video from you :3.
American Truck Simulator, Viscera Cleanup Detail, Voices of the Void... We need more Librarian game of just... Him, work, and an endless series of rambles and spooks. Demanding a 50 part series on this!
I was actually so invested in this lol.. I was SO happy hearing that the save was well.. saved! When you saw the road lights i was so relieved.. I would LOVE if this was a series. I love the tipics you talk about and the way you word your thoughts so another episode like like this but you also have topics to talk about would be great! Keep up the good work! =]
The Aurora Wager and Far: Lone Sails are kinda similar mechanically, though they have kinda different atmospheres Aurora Wager has you pilot/manage a large hot air balloon, and Far: Lone Sails has you pilot/manage a futuristic looking... thing.
I’ve been waiting for you to play the long drive. I don’t have a pc so I watch you play stuff instead keep up the good work😊😊 have a good rest of your day.
This popped up after searching for hurricane sounds to sleep to and honestly im glad I found it. Such an interesting thing to watch when you can't sleep 😂
Oh sweet lord above, how often I prayed for you to play this game was insurmountable!! So happy I'm finally able to see your reaction to this strange yet interesting game.
There is no battery in the game, so that's something you don't need to worry about, also the speedometer is accurate, the number on the right is every 100 meters, that's why it goes faster, so in reality you've only traveled a couple dozen Kilometers and not hundreds, also, you can use the bus' to open the doors there is a button hidden on the front bumper, bend down and look across it and you should find one, also gas mixtures so matter, and matter for specific engines, rn your current engine uses plain gas, but some engines need oil mixture ratios, the wiki has a good guide on what engine uses what so id refer to that if need be, typically small % of impurities won't hurt the engine too much, but try to keep it close as possible
Never thought i would find someone that did a normal playthrough of this game. Its nice but at the same time it feels wierd having seen all the other videos on The Long Drive. Keep up the good work!
This video is a masterpiece of entertainment and adventure. The Librarian has a unique talent for creating immersive and captivating stories with his voice and gameplay. The Long Drive is a game that challenges the player to survive in a vast and desolate world, where every decision matters and every resource is precious. The Librarian shows us how to make the most of this game, exploring its secrets, finding new vehicles, and encountering various dangers and surprises along the way. His commentary is witty, humorous, and informative, keeping the viewers engaged and entertained throughout the video. He also interacts with his fans and responds to their questions and suggestions, making them feel part of his journey. The Librarian is one of the best content creators on TH-cam, and I always look forward to his videos. He deserves more recognition and support for his amazing work. Thank you, The Librarian, for sharing this wonderful video with us. You are an inspiration and a joy to watch. Keep up the good work!
When i watch horror movies with my gf, we'll discuss them afterwards and i always tell her how its mot scary because they go straight to the jump scare. Straight to the action. Every scene needs something happening. No suspense building. Nothing that puts you there. A lot of the older movies has scenes where nothing happens. Some scenes literally just show you the scenery or the area. And that all builds suspense. I like that these videos feel similar to that. The rabbit wasnt scary, not knowing what made the sounds was scary.
I would love a series on this, the game is about 5000km long and your odometer isn't at 1000km at the end of the video it's at 100km and the yellow numbers are increments of 100m. love the vids :)
I'm super excited to see you play this (was kinda hoping you would play this at some point.) It's nice to see someone take a slower approach to this game rather than messing it up with cursed mods and such. A game I really think you should try though would be OneShot. It's a super atmospheric puzzle/adventure game built in RPG maker (I think) with a fairly heavy focus on 4th wall breaks.

things you should know, coming from someone who has played this game entirely too much
- you don't have to feather the breaks, just slam 'em, it's fine
- there is no car battery, the only things that matter are fuel, oil, and coolant
- speaking of oil, some cars don't have a separate oil tank, and you have to mix oil into the fuel
- that clicking noise when you shut off the ignition is just the engine being hot, it's nothing to worry about unless you're out of coolant and the clicking is very fast
- it's not a bad idea to use the manual transmission, because you can control your speed by just not shifting gears any higher, although it definitely has a learning curve
- the piss and poop meters will prevent you from eating and drinking if they're full
- there's always a revolver hidden in the starting house; it's through a hatch behind the stove-looking thing next to the bed, and you have to use the funky leaning controls to get it (tap q and move the mouse to lean your torso, hold q to move your head, tap q again to reset your torso)
- high speeds make the physics engine (at least at the moment) have a panic attack the moment you tip the car a little too much or hit anything, so be careful
- stay in the car at night, for your own safety. if you've got gas to spare, feel free to go for a night cruise, but if you don't, stop the car and sleep. *stay in the car at night.*
- if you see big rusted-out ships in the distance, they're almost always worth the detour
and finally, always remember, if the light posts are on the right, you're moving forward
learning that the librarian doesn't know how to drive is a big self-confidence boost, as someone who's struggling as well
As someone who’s only learning to drive, you’ve got a one-up on me and a lot of other people, never forget that
Driving is very easy trust me. Not all of us have the resources to do so but once you get towards that point in life you will learn with ease!

Maybe an edited mini series with a shorter goal in mind. I don’t want it to overstay it’s welcome.
This would be such a cool series, The Librarian is the only guy I've watched play who takes it semi seriously and I really enjoy that
I love this game. it's jank gives it a comedic charm when you're with others, and a slight cursed feeling when you're alone.
This is definitely one of those "slapstick horror" games like Voices of the Void where it can legitimately be scary, but the scares are often built on the back of some very silly humor.
Some tips for making your car look pretty
You can find wire brushes to get rid of rust on the worst parts
Then use the sponges to tidy up the parts
And last you can find orange spray bottles that can polish the parts
You can also find various paint cans to change part colors
Also the yellow number on your odometer is a decimal point, you've only actually driven 110 kilometers
Very nice tips
and with the odometer saying that he has only driven 110km the distance is pretty much scaled realistically knowing that he averaged about 100kmh to 150kmh with having a hour on the road along with some time outside of the road
I just wanted to let you know that you're my go-to channel for late evenings when i'm just looking for cozy long videos to watch. I like the comfy horror thing you have going here and i'm happy about every upload! Keep up the great work and thanks for putting in the extra effort! :)
Doom Marine, I respect it.
Dude same
Maybe it's a custom for all doom fans to enjoy comfy horror. I know I do, it's always an adventure going through these hour long videos.

"okay we're gonna get out of the basement of demonitization" LMAO
Here's a spooky story my old band teacher told me for ya Librarian:
"one day you're checking your old photos on your phone, yknow, deleting ones you dont like or favoriting others; when suddenly you stumble across a photo of you, sleeping. You never took this photo and you live alone."
love the video!
please make this a series. I would love to see more of you just driving and talking. it's so relaxing and calming.
🙏
Tips:
-Tab is to equip and unequip items
-Bus has a green switch under the front bumper that opens the doors, you gotta crouch to see.
-Rust and decay indicates how damaged and object is and can be undone with a wire brush.
- in addition paint, sponge, and spray polish can be used to improve the look of the car, spray takes 4ish sprays to improve
- the tower that you found first can be entered you just have to jump and crouch at the same time, and inside is a large water source you can fill containers with.
-put ammo into inventory and equip gun into other slot to reload it
That’s all I can think of to the point where I’ve watched this far
The only thing that can't be fixed with wire brushes or sponges are engines and radiators!
this man with no driver's license is somehow better at driving than all of the youtubers I've ever seen play this game
i love how he spent the first 10 minutes of the video checking out the house and cleaning it, packing up stuff while me and my friend would just take the giraafe put in the hood pray to god we find a 20 liter fuel canister and then just drive
Never go anywhere without your katana.

Honestly you've become my favourite youtuber the past year.
There's nothing better than laying down under a warm thick blanket in your cold room watching a guy with a soothing voice play a very comfy game. It's even better when you have something to eat or snack on.
then you reach in your pants and go to town on your meat
1:23:50 Might be the greatest timed thing I've seen in a LONG while.
I love this channel's content so much lmao.
Each Librarian video is such an adventure to watch. He is the only TH-camr that I know who is able to do that.
True
"Keep farting till it's not a fart" - Librarian 2023
I'm glad you're playing this through the lens of appreciating the ambience and the trip.
Most youtubers that I watch playing this always does the "le wacky road trip ecksdee" that doesn't do the atmosphere and isolation this game gives any justice.

Jep, this seems to be set in Europe, despite the landscape looking american.
i just love the games that are said to be kinda boring, cause the librarian just start to talk about all kinds of things and its so nice to drift off to.
Exactly. Like Viscera Cleanup Detail.
@@Sam-go3mb indeed!
I’ve been waiting so long (patiently, of course) for The Librarian to play this! 🥳
I'm so glad you get to see something you've been wanting for so long! :)
@@klpaahme too :D
I remember seeing this game a while back. I never bought this game, however I always have wanted to for the way it presents itself as a mix of a survival game and mechanic simulator. For me, It has also had this perfectly eerie atmosphere that really sets it apart from a lot of other games.
I remember Tear of Grace losing his mind over this game. Can’t wait to see him get randomly jumpscared by a rabbit.
This is the most endearing and immersive approach to TLD that I have seen. A completely fresh experience. There have obviously been no prior spoilers to give away what to expect. No overly silly/ridiculous shenanigans/stunts presented. Just a wholesome, realistic approach - as if he's actually been put into this situation: a protagonist setting off on his way to visit his mother, in a mysterious post-apocalyptic setting.
Your comments remind me of my thoughts when I first played it.
I truly love this. Favourite TLD playthrough I've seen in a long time! I really do hope you continue this series 🙏🏻 I would follow every episode.
[I've been watching another YT'ers playthrough of this for years now. Driving all the way back and forth, each time; escalating the challenge. But this is refreshing. It's also a great game to play and record while you just let your thoughts wonder. Not many games provide a space for that.
PS: BTW, yes, the mechanics, controls and physics can be extremely wonky here - but that is sort of the charm of the game. Hope that's not putting you off it completely. It all becomes second nature after a few try's. The encounters with scary bunnies (and other things) as well. More often than not, they just run into a wall and die getting stuck in it, though... 😛
PPS: Don't be afraid to experiment And try out various things. There are a lot of surprises ("puzzles") the developers left in to see if we can figure out.
Finally i get to watch this being played like its a gmod map tour and not like a Vinesauce Joel highlights reel.
What's wrong with Joel highlight reels?
Jobel highlights keeps me sane and healthy@@simplename1064
this reminds me of a really weird SCP I read about an inescapable one way road that has a ton of people inside it but all of them settled down in these roadside houses created just for them. I always thought it was a terrifying concept to be trapped forever on an unending road, with the only person to escape dying of a heart attack after a mysterious knock on his window and a "that's so beautiful moment" but people seemed to think it was a good think, despite the side tangent about the woman sending a message to the kids she hasn't seen for ten years.
But y'know seeing how much people love this game, which is pretty similar in my eyes, I kinda get it now, though I'd still hate to be trapped in it I can understand why people had a more positive view on the idea and the atmosphere that the story conveyed
Do you remember the SCP's number?
@@voronazavr SCP 5322 I think

Hey librarian, to your point of taking a train out west...
A few weeks ago I took Amtrak from my home in Chicago to Seattle. Myself and two family members wanted to hike Olympic National Park. The trip took about two full days and though it was certainly a novel experience I don't regret doing, it's not something I would likely do again.
Something about being cooped up in a can for two days with no shower or bed eating really poor food just makes you miserable. I even stayed off my phone almost the whole time and looked out the windows. Still got off that train feeling like garbage
Though, there was something romantic about traveling America the old fashioned way. You were also quite a lot closer to the environment and got to see parts of the US that otherwise you would never see. There were some incredible landscapes and views that you would never get from the road, and the people were also lovely to get to know only if for a few hours.
I say have at it, but know what you are getting yourself into.
Honestly, This, Minecraft and Voices Of The Void are so perfect for you, You add so much to these open ended games
I would love at least a couple more episodes of this.
I wasn't expecting the vampire murdering samurai cowboy. Things escalated very quickly.
Well, I certainly want to watch a new episode of this game and hear the soothing voice of The Librarian making a commentary on the environment and atmosphere while encountering weird stuffs on the way.
Please, please, please make more !
I really like watching people playing this game, making up their own theories and sharing their experience. It feels so cozy. But to be real nobody do it quite like you it's almost like we're on a real roadtrip with you !
I would check the fluid caps under your hood, when you went sideways there towards the end you were definitely drinking something that was spilling out of the engine compartment😂 I could definitely watch more of this!
The timing of that UFO was impeccable.
We need a part 2 and 3 and 4 of this. So cozy and eerie,feels so natural
41:20 *literally having the biggest dump ever*
"Oh, the wilderness is so majestic"
A millisecond later:
"PISS" - Sniper
Hey a HUGE FYI, don't save and quit near buildings/structures, ALWAYS be a decent ways away from any, saves tend to corrupt with messing up the terrain and clipping vehicles off the map if you do so in my experience
Excited to watch you play this. I've seen a couple streamers play it but it's always a chaotic, goofy mess with them. The vibe for your video, and hopefully series, is way different and refreshing.
Ive been waiting for this!!!! This game is honestly creepy and scary sometimes, amazing game
i discovered your channel from the first episode of Minecraft From the Fog, i remember it so clearly. Ever since then your videos have brought me lots of hapiness and coziness. Thank you Librarian.
Also I don't think i'm alone when i say that it'd be nice with some more minecraft videos, especially long ones!
Just saw this on your discord list, just in time for my cinnamon apple tea too.
that sounds so good 😩
i have tips
-the radios have sooooooooo many channels for you to switch through on the fm side
-they have a gradient in clearness so you were on the edge of a radio station, they get a lot clearer as you get to the exact frequency
-my favorite being fm 94.1 steel pants radio
-there is also an am side which has 4 stations i think 630, 800, 1080 (custom radio), and 1330
-630 being the exact same radio station as steel pants radio except without any songs with words or steel pants radio news or anything else
- *your doors dont match*
- *stop leavings your gas cap and other containers open* you can hear them pouring their contents when you tipped over
-ufo turns off all electricity powered stuffs
- "the apocalypse happened in 1979 as you know"
-there is a light behind your seat in your current car, interact with it to switch it between 'off', 'on when door open' and 'on'
-they can be in different places depending on the car
-rabbits *will* murder you (unless peaceful)
-the guys that are like zombies will not spawn in peaceful
-your radiator wasn't as good quality as it could be because it was a little rusty, if you start another save i recommend checking the radiator (unless VW bug or two stroke car)
- *some cars require oil in the gas tank at ~3%*
-they have no oil tank
-the small amount of oil in your 100% gas doesn't really do much of anything to your car's performance i think (just tints the exhaust blue)
-the bus, ifa w50 (which you didnt find) vw caddy, and sometimes vw golf's engines run on diesel
-you can tell the difference between the diesel golf engine and gas engine by seeing if there is one of those round air filters; yes=gas, no=diesel
-the bus engine is massive
-planes are indeed still in the sky
-the fastest engine is the Plymouth v8 thingy and it has two oval gray things and the sides are yellow
-the vw cars have
-there is in fact a mod that makes every one of those distance meters continue from the first car (I don't know if the crate pieces disappear in the base game, if so that also happens in the better crates mod, which also has a secret red ufo which takes parts off your car)
-you can make your car look better by using the rust brush (for rust), jizz-o-nit car polish (for shining white rust or rough paint) and the sponge (just rough paint I think)
-don't use brushes on tires, clean parts, and sun visors
-if you crash hard enough you will end up with blood on the dash, you can clean that with a sponge
-also *there is no battery drainage system* in the game right now, so feel free to leave the lights on.
-wheels can not go on your car when the hubcaps are on just so you know
-baskets can be attached to your car and those things can be used for storage due to the fact they have physics lock
-I highly suggest that you turn on *whole interior+* for physics lock in the settings if you haven't already
-mirages don't exist im sure
-that would be cool though
-the *strange* lights in the sky are ufos, but there are only green ufos in the base game
-you can shoot yourself
- *the bb gun needs to be reloaded by:*
THE AMMO NEEDS TO BE IN INVENTORY
-1 *holding R*
-2 *moving mouse down*
-3 *pressing r*
-4 *now close the gun by reversing step 2*
-5 *pow*
-the shotgun and revolver can be reloaded the same way
-the ak on the other hand needs a mag
- *don't forget to check the oil tank every once in a while*
-some cars have a removable grill with integrated headlights
-headlights can be removed and placed into the gauge spot and work
-gauges can be removed and placed into the headlight spot and work
- *once i found 8 wh0le people worth of blood in a barrel*\
-the desert rocks have nothing
-you found a water tower and didn't jump into the hole
- *you can basically fly by spamming jump against a wall*
- *you can ride ufos*
-you can also change your character in the settings menu
- *THE SQUARE FLASH LIGHTS CAN BE USED AS HAND HELD FLASH LIGHTS*
I think the Librarian would love to play My Summer Car, especially with those... nights.
Looooove that game!
Where has this channel been my whole life. Happy I am here now. Great video thank you
This was pretty funny.
I appreciate thst he appreciated all the small details.
He said he doesn’t drive so calling the sun visors flappy things and fuel gauge as fuel monitor was fun to see.
Would love to see more, there aren’t enough creepy driving games on the market, so seeing the Librarian + Creepy Driving Game Genre combo was definitely a treat
Please play the long drive more, it’s really entertaining. Try listening to the car radio (u can change the fm)
Finding out through this video that I’m not the only one who doesn’t know how to drive as an adult is so relieving 😂 librarian we’re in the same club for now
"making a story with unrelated songs"
Why is that so relatable 😭
never expected you to play this game. a welcome surprise. it definitely has its weird liminal moments where you cant even tell if your moving anymore. this game weird really works to give you that highway hypnosis. a quirky, fun game for sure.
It's weird because there's so much jank but then there's also little gems of impressive physics like the way the bat realistically swings and sways with the motion of the car
Thank you, thank you, thank you for finally doing a video on this game. It is so close to my heart, even though it is a silly car game. The vibes are indescribable and mysterious, perfect for your channel.
>drops 3 logs on the ground
"the wilderness is so majestic"
1:46:00 This is why you always make sure to close the oil cap on your engine. As your car was rolling, the oil was leaking out.
However, it is mighty impressive that you actually managed to drink some of said oil, well done.
It might spoil the fun a little, but at some point you should try dissassembling a car as much as possible, just to get a feel for what parts are removable, replacable and upgradable.
But not knowing how deep a game is can often be a driving point to keep you interested in the game, so you might not want to do this immediately.
Used to watch Charborg play this what a crazy ride. I'm so happy you decided to play this
I didn't think you'd ever check out this game but here we are! I've been playing this game for a looong time and I love how contemplative it can be
Oh boy this game is something else. Iv played this game on my own and with friends, needs a lot more work, but I’m very excited to see where this game goes. Hope you enjoy your time with it
The video is calm, your voice is soothing, and your gameplay is decent. This is art.
I just love the variety of games you play bro, you make every games creepy idk why haha
The long drive is my favorite game of all time, but every dang youtuber that plays it just memes on it. Thanks so much for playing it with your unique perspective.
The Librarian: *Barreling at 100kmph through a sandstorm in a rocky desert at night*
Also The Librarian: *Is surprised when he hits a rock*
This would be such a great series!! This was genuinely one of the most comforting yet thrilling two hours of TH-cam I have ever watched! You’re honestly great at accomplishing both of those things in all of your videos, but it synergies perfectly with this game and I love it so much.
If you read this, keep up the good work! You’re amongst my favorite content creators period. It’s a delight watching a video from you :3.
"The wilderness is so majestic" he says when shitting and pissing in it.
I love that you got spooked by the whine of the reverse gear :D
That moment when the lights turned off was TOO perfect! Lucky you!
American Truck Simulator, Viscera Cleanup Detail, Voices of the Void... We need more Librarian game of just... Him, work, and an endless series of rambles and spooks. Demanding a 50 part series on this!
I remember watching Jerma play this, good vid
This game is so underrated it's so realistic in physics people just think it's bad cuz of the way it looks but really it's a masterpiece.
This does just look like a perfect game for a calm live stream just to talk about life
I was actually so invested in this lol.. I was SO happy hearing that the save was well.. saved! When you saw the road lights i was so relieved.. I would LOVE if this was a series. I love the tipics you talk about and the way you word your thoughts so another episode like like this but you also have topics to talk about would be great! Keep up the good work! =]
33:37 That’s so creepy; I had no idea there were other humans in the game.
The Aurora Wager and Far: Lone Sails are kinda similar mechanically, though they have kinda different atmospheres
Aurora Wager has you pilot/manage a large hot air balloon, and Far: Lone Sails has you pilot/manage a futuristic looking... thing.
13:40 and that kids is exactly how our wrists looked when we used to roll down windows like that. 🙌
I’ve been waiting for you to play the long drive. I don’t have a pc so I watch you play stuff instead keep up the good work😊😊 have a good rest of your day.
I love this new series, please continue it!
This popped up after searching for hurricane sounds to sleep to and honestly im glad I found it. Such an interesting thing to watch when you can't sleep 😂
Oh sweet lord above, how often I prayed for you to play this game was insurmountable!!
So happy I'm finally able to see your reaction to this strange yet interesting game.
"If the laws of nature allowed it, I'd bear this man's children." -Ellis
There is no battery in the game, so that's something you don't need to worry about, also the speedometer is accurate, the number on the right is every 100 meters, that's why it goes faster, so in reality you've only traveled a couple dozen Kilometers and not hundreds, also, you can use the bus' to open the doors there is a button hidden on the front bumper, bend down and look across it and you should find one, also gas mixtures so matter, and matter for specific engines, rn your current engine uses plain gas, but some engines need oil mixture ratios, the wiki has a good guide on what engine uses what so id refer to that if need be, typically small % of impurities won't hurt the engine too much, but try to keep it close as possible
MAKE THIS A SERIES PLEASE DADDY
Never thought i would find someone that did a normal playthrough of this game. Its nice but at the same time it feels wierd having seen all the other videos on The Long Drive. Keep up the good work!
I stumbled across this channel after I woke up in the middle of the night from a nightmare, oddly fitting haha
despite being a silly physics game, rhis guy managed to make it scary and im here for it
This video is a masterpiece of entertainment and adventure. The Librarian has a unique talent for creating immersive and captivating stories with his voice and gameplay. The Long Drive is a game that challenges the player to survive in a vast and desolate world, where every decision matters and every resource is precious. The Librarian shows us how to make the most of this game, exploring its secrets, finding new vehicles, and encountering various dangers and surprises along the way. His commentary is witty, humorous, and informative, keeping the viewers engaged and entertained throughout the video. He also interacts with his fans and responds to their questions and suggestions, making them feel part of his journey. The Librarian is one of the best content creators on TH-cam, and I always look forward to his videos. He deserves more recognition and support for his amazing work. Thank you, The Librarian, for sharing this wonderful video with us. You are an inspiration and a joy to watch. Keep up the good work!
22:02 hearing him pretend to bite food is something i didn’t think i would enjoy lmfao
Please play more of this! I love how exploratory this horror is! The screaming giant hares are really unnerving.
Every time there was a revolver in the game I screamed at you to take the revolver. You never once took a revolver.
When i watch horror movies with my gf, we'll discuss them afterwards and i always tell her how its mot scary because they go straight to the jump scare. Straight to the action. Every scene needs something happening. No suspense building. Nothing that puts you there. A lot of the older movies has scenes where nothing happens. Some scenes literally just show you the scenery or the area. And that all builds suspense. I like that these videos feel similar to that. The rabbit wasnt scary, not knowing what made the sounds was scary.
Nothing better than a librarian video when ur under the weather
I would love a series on this, the game is about 5000km long and your odometer isn't at 1000km at the end of the video it's at 100km and the yellow numbers are increments of 100m. love the vids :)
I'm super excited to see you play this (was kinda hoping you would play this at some point.) It's nice to see someone take a slower approach to this game rather than messing it up with cursed mods and such.
A game I really think you should try though would be OneShot. It's a super atmospheric puzzle/adventure game built in RPG maker (I think) with a fairly heavy focus on 4th wall breaks.
