What is the time stamp for when they found the second alien at the school? It appears that it was unintentionally not edited in/accidentally edited out.
That is what I like so much about him and why he is one of the only let´s players I watch. In contrast to the vast majority out there he isn´t super over enthusiastic, loud (well, when he isn´t getting a cardiac arrest by means of jump scare), he actually talks about interesting topics and is absolutely genuine while doing so. More in tone like having an actual conversation than whatever it is most others do. And the fact that he publishes pretty much only long form videos, but actually filled with content.
I dislike the idea that malls are outdated-- Idk i just enjoy being able to take my time and walk with friends/family to explore what unique stores each mall has got. Where I from each town has it's own mall, one youi frequent with your friends often, know where to get the good coffee and where to shop for anything you don't want to order online. Walking through malls that have that "for lease"/"for rent" that you know will never get filled gives me unmistakable dread. Dunno, I feel like empty and desolate malls could be untilized better as recreational/community places if no longer viable for franchises to rent spaces out. Edit: That ending has me in tears. This game was made with so much love! Yay Club Liminal!
Even as the Steam page says that the ability to turn on/off lights and to move stuff around is to build the scene for a shot, to change it as you like.
u should play the final station its a rlly good short game about you being the last train conductor on earth in a zombie apocalypse and it has really interesting lore and an unexpected ending for me its a 9/10 even if its not horror per say its still a rlly nice vibe and has some scares here and there
He will definitely die on that food/medkits management. Like I played this game 100 times, one of my favorite, but even I barely can keep all the passengers alive, on the way to the last station (pun not intended) I always had to replace food with heals because I run out of first ones, and I don't ever heal myself during train stops, and I remember where every loot is, and buy every food on stations. I don't want Librarian to suffer, he will miss all the dialogues, station descriptions, and his passengers will still die because he will start his classic monologue and miss the warnings, you need to be prepared for this game and really know how to deal with all this.
As a non-American person I love listening to the librarian's nostalgic stories, I don't identify with them obviously skskk, but I get to know more about American culture through such intriguing descriptions that he manages to make. Some bizarre, some interesting and some really cool ones, sometimes i can even imagine the scenarios he tells with so much detail.
There's 2 shows to watch if you want genuine American culture the first is the x files which captures 1 for 1 the idealized American vibe from the 90s and the second the lost boys from the 80s which encapsulates the ideal 80s vibe as for 2000s era stuff imo that's when American culture homogenized and was spread readily across the world and easily accessible but if you really like old school 2000s vibe there's a few movies to check out one of my favorites being the faculty which is a cult classic from the 2000s another amazing show to watch for interesting American culture is justified which is one of the best shows ever it's got the southern culture down pat at least in modern times but if you like realistic stuff and not exaggerating media just picture a decaying infrastructure once prosperous small towns and cities and picture dilapidated building crumbling at the seams and a large amount of people addicted to fentanyl and in between those pockets of decay are normal everyday people working 9 to 5 trying to maneuver around all of that social decay and rot. The government sweeps the state of everything under the rug but if you visit America and tour around small towns you'll notice that just about everything 90s and below is pretty much uncared for and falling apart only in huge cities and the suburbs around them do things look remotely modern of course there are small towns with tight knit communities that prosper but the large majority of them are falling apart at the seams and struggling with rent drug addiction and inter-social relationships. A large majority of Americans old enough to remember the early 2000s and below try to escape into old media and nostalgia constantly trying to relive a time when all the infrastructure wasn't crumbling apart when the govt actually tried to help people and when drug addiction and crime didn't run rampant. My dream and I imagine most Americans dream is to own a house and not stress over making rent. The inflation is almost unbearable and things seem like they only get worse. It's a depressing picture of a once thriving nation but the more time passes the more America starts to resemble the hundreds of thousands of abandoned buildings left over from when a majority of things in America were made in America and I think secretly a lot of Americans are hoping for some change in any form. The bureaucracy basically makes that hope impossible at the moment but you never know. Don't get me wrong there's a lot of people who are able to thrive in this environment but it's getting really hard to ignore all the holes in the wall. I'd say the peak of America the apex was around 2007 before the crash it's been a spiral ever since and most of the issues are cultural. That was when the effects of the dot com collapse and the stock market crash culminated in a huge ripple in everything. It's also when political activist took the opportunity to completely change the moral and social fabric of the country.
> I'm not going to go back and hunt down *every* secret. > 30 minutes later, ultra secret endings found. Every time.

Honestly I really felt it in the high school level as well as the suburb one; the suburb is set in new jersey and as someone who grew up in a suburb there, it felt surreal. Also the high school reminds me of my middle school that was two stories, and some of the elements were the same (layout wise)
I feel like this game as a hold represents not just the idea of Liminal Spaces, as places that once had humans but not anymore, but the slow degrading of them once all the humans had left and they are sort of left to rot and wither. Something that we born after the mid 90s all have to bare witness at this point. From the dying of malls and hotels to entire neighborhoods slowly being abandon to crumbling infrastructure that's being purposely neglected. I mean see it with how dingy and moldy everything is, and how everything is collapsing and being torn up. Everything is in a in-between state of freshly abandoned (liminal spaces) and slowly reclaimed by nature (full on ruins). Something we all here of course have a deep fascination with. In sort of a similar way how archeologist have for abandon ruins of the antiquity and medieval worlds. To wander these empty halls and snap shot stuff. To wonder what is it that was lost in ages past and let these spaces calmly tell us a story of what they use to be before they fully disappear. We all have an innate desire and curious nature to explore abandon places we often overlook and a places that we are probably not meant to see anymore and create a narrative of events based around what we observe. We just happen to be born into a time where we may not be able to explore ancient ruins or dig up remnants of a past civilization of old, but there is plenty of places left for us to wander into of a past age that was much more recent and there being more and more of it coming. These are entire worlds made for something else entirely, but left for us to wander alone and explore. To preen some kind of meaning and context out of it when the original context has been wiped away by some kind of outside force.
In Poland most shops close on sundays, but not cinemas or restaurants. I once went to a movie on sunday to a mall and got almost the full "dead mall" experience. Parking lot was basically empty, except cars of other moviegoers, all shops had their shutters closed and most hallways were dark. We arrived way before the movie started, so we simply walked around the empty halls, probably giving the mall security a mild headache.
When he achieved the ending where he wound up dancing in the alien dance club, I thought that was cool, but I had always envisioned dubstep to be the musical genre of choice for the aliens . . . well, at least the Solipsi Rai race of extraterrestrials.
I think the goop that's everywhere is sort of a biproduct of the liminal space itself, rather than being blood or anything from an actual human. Maybe in this version the actual spaces are alive, imitating human architecture.
1:09:38 lol I love how Librarian just hops up onto the guard railing. I just imagine him balancing on the rope in a Slavic squat or a Caveman Spongebob pose while admiring the view
35:20- A neighborhood supermarket recently closed, and I occasionally walk by it; all the shelving has been removed and the lights are kept on inside. I get the same kind of vibe from that as the Librarian gets here.
I've honestly been excited for each new video of this game, it's really grown on me with how great it is at atmosphere and the hints of story. It genuinely made me a bit sad to see [FINAL] in the title. Thank you for covering such a unique game!
As a fellow photographer I have to say, this game was amazing! I have never felt such a strong feeling of comfort, fear and familiarity all at once before. I really felt like I was walking through points of significance during my childhood, although those places are merely just recreations and aren't actually there. There's just a certain hollowness to them. The only thing that I'm a bit iffy about is the non-secret ending though. It's amazing how much a game can really personify places. The school for example, it's just sitting there, longing for the time when hundreds would move through it at once, while also being confused as to how it got in this situation in the first place.
I don’t know who recommended this but kudos to them. There’s a special place in my heart for the Backrooms and boy, did this deliver a hit that I didn’t know I needed. As you said it seemed very simplistic at the beginning but we got depth and twists and surprises that don’t seem possible, yet here I am feeling positively satiated.
I appreciate how you pause and admire places and atmospheres and how you share your thoughts with us, not just rushing through as many do, it really gives your playthroughs a sense of soul.
5:54 that made me think of my school days and the fact that I not even once in my entire school carreer have been the very first student to arrive in the morning and I remember that I always used to wonder how it would feel for that person to just walk in and not see the whole building filled with life and that typical morning hectic flair of an ant hill. I guess that was an early fascination with liminal spaces years before even knowing about it.
this game reminds me of an old mall I used to go to it was still active with shops well shop now there were only 3 active businesses an orthodontist office which is why i went there a barber shop which went out of business into a tattoo shot which went out of business and then a bakery that i liked to go to which you already know what happened to them but the strangest part was although the mall (which is a hotel now btw) was still doing things like hosting parties but to get there you had to walk through the abandoned parts of the mall and see all these old shops like an art gallery and and a antique shop with stuff still in it but now just used as cheap storage.
Wonderful series. It really seems like this game was made for the Librarian. You made this into way more than just taking pictures. Thank you for bringing us along with you.
Hey Lib, I want to make a video recommendation to you: explore Counter Strike Source maps. Today I decided to check the Chernobyl map and it was really scary. The atmosphere of that is extremely creepy. I would love to see you doing something similar.
I've seen this game a few times already but I think this was the most appreciative playthrough of them all. I appreciate your thought on your themes and the environment and the respect you gave it all. Favorite level was probably the neighborhood by aesthetics: you very rarely see 'outdoor' liminal spaces and this one was handled extremely well. The way the lights wink out as you try to get people's attention is really eerie and the howl of the snow leaves you straining your ears for any sign of life.
The funny thing is that he makes videos for us and it's really kind, thank you for the content the librarian. Also thank you for making mostly everything you made, it's fun to watch your content. I almost watch your content all day. Thank you for everything, The librarian ( Ps: You don't need to like, I'll just enjoy if you do! I never got to be top comment on big youtubers )
I think out of them all its between the suburb or hotel being the scariest/creepiest and im personally leaning toward the suburb being my creepiest pick
I image they broke the camera because they didn’t want to believe that what they went through was real, so they destroyed any possible undeniable proof that would cause them to have a mental breakdown or something, ignorance is bliss.
I feel as though all these places have a dripping ceiling to show that they are actually weeping and are missing much more than just people. Like the mall lost it's stores, theater lost a stage, the hotel and garage lost it's stairs, the neighborhood lost a house, and the gas station lost it's cars. I also think it gave you the camera to take pictures the locations themselves before they're gone.
Yooo as soon as I saw the Vinesauce reference I had a flashback to watching someone else play this other kind of liminal-inspired dream-based game called Hypnagogia: Boundless Dreams, which ALSO has a Vinesauce easter egg, and I looked it up and lo and behold they're by the same person! I would recommend that game for this channel also, and its prequel/demo/precursor (simply titled Hypnagogia with no subtitle, though they do have some crossover of course) I should've clocked it earlier TBF, the art direction and general theming is very similar, though H:BD is more narrative-driven (if still exploration-focused)
I would honestly love it so much if you could do more red dead redemption 2 videos! If you ever do another one you should explore the area of Roanoke ridge and explore the eerie and disturbing area and uncover the mystery of the murfree brood!
Not sure if you've played it, or if it would be a good fit for the channel, but a game that really fits creepy/comfy and has a theme of closed down malls and Midwestern malaise is "Night in the Woods"
this game is a phenomenal eye candy i really enjoyed the vibes of the game aswell the commentary my favorite parts was the aliens but as far as levels they were all incredibly solid too hard to pick 👌
Just to clear a bit of possible confusion: Vsauce and Vineshroom are two different youtubers. The loggo was for Vinny, aka, Vineshroom. I think the game dev got a bit confused because there's also a streaming service called Vinesauce.
You also encountered a few Vinesauce easter eggs.in Voices of the Void, most notably the pizza box. I'm sure in the future there will be more easter eggs of you, Gmod maps aside.
49:57 Thoughts on 📸💔Broken Camera Ending: The protagonist, after all that was seen in the seemingly apocalyptic-like evil👾future - decides while in his car, that he is going to try and forget it for it is not worth dwelling on such negative prospects you cannot see a good end to (so the Camera data is thrown away as an after thought. 👽👽👽on the ALTERNATE Ending: If you find ALL the aliens (secret bonus Level): You find a new-found curiosity and potential HOPE for the future and in so value the Camera data even more. Maybe you can show people your pictures; and hope those aliens are there to save us in the end.

@@MorpheusOne Should be the one at 17:52
The Librarian has a really unique and interesting way of speaking. He could probably talk about PB&J sandwiches and it would be entertaining
Librarian uncrustable video when
“Hello everyone, and welcome back… to my kitchen…”
That is what I like so much about him and why he is one of the only let´s players I watch. In contrast to the vast majority out there he isn´t super over enthusiastic, loud (well, when he isn´t getting a cardiac arrest by means of jump scare), he actually talks about interesting topics and is absolutely genuine while doing so.

I dislike the idea that malls are outdated-- Idk i just enjoy being able to take my time and walk with friends/family to explore what unique stores each mall has got. Where I from each town has it's own mall, one youi frequent with your friends often, know where to get the good coffee and where to shop for anything you don't want to order online.
Walking through malls that have that "for lease"/"for rent" that you know will never get filled gives me unmistakable dread.
Dunno, I feel like empty and desolate malls could be untilized better as recreational/community places if no longer viable for franchises to rent spaces out.
Edit: That ending has me in tears. This game was made with so much love! Yay Club Liminal!
Even as the Steam page says that the ability to turn on/off lights and to move stuff around is to build the scene for a shot, to change it as you like.

1:16 Librarian opening a door and getting scared by a little grey cliché alien figure, why do I get a feeling of deja vu...
> I'm not going to go back and hunt down *every* secret.
> 30 minutes later, ultra secret endings found.
Every time. Also, apparently the devs gave a translation for the alien speech and it's gold:
>What an amazing day for us, Gnarts. We've finally captured the image hunter
>Yes. I can hardly contain my excitement, Gnorts. We are clearly the mightier species.
>The device we found on them is most fascinating. Analyzing it has already begun.

>Don't be ridiculous, Gnarts. Only a huge nerd could successfully decipher our language.
>Shh! Look! The image hunter is finally awake!
>We must thank you image hunter! Not only will your technology help us develop similar objects-
>-but you also went out of your way to find and rescue our missing brethren!
>Most impressive, yes! A reward fitting for such an ally is most certainly due.

I really like the high school setting in this one.
Same and to me it's very nostalgic to me because going to any school is nostalgic
Honestly I really felt it in the high school level as well as the suburb one; the suburb is set in new jersey and as someone who grew up in a suburb there, it felt surreal. Also the high school reminds me of my middle school that was two stories, and some of the elements were the same (layout wise)

19:59 has to be the best implementation of the backrooms that I've seen in a game.

When he achieved the ending where he wound up dancing in the alien dance club, I thought that was cool, but I had always envisioned dubstep to be the musical genre of choice for the aliens . . . well, at least the Solipsi Rai race of extraterrestrials.
Librarian’s exposure to Vinesauce grows
I think the goop that's everywhere is sort of a biproduct of the liminal space itself, rather than being blood or anything from an actual human. Maybe in this version the actual spaces are alive, imitating human architecture.
1:09:38 lol I love how Librarian just hops up onto the guard railing. I just imagine him balancing on the rope in a Slavic squat or a Caveman Spongebob pose while admiring the view
35:20- A neighborhood supermarket recently closed, and I occasionally walk by it; all the shelving has been removed and the lights are kept on inside. I get the same kind of vibe from that as the Librarian gets here.
I've honestly been excited for each new video of this game, it's really grown on me with how great it is at atmosphere and the hints of story. It genuinely made me a bit sad to see [FINAL] in the title. Thank you for covering such a unique game!
As a fellow photographer I have to say, this game was amazing! I have never felt such a strong feeling of comfort, fear and familiarity all at once before. I really felt like I was walking through points of significance during my childhood, although those places are merely just recreations and aren't actually there. There's just a certain hollowness to them. The only thing that I'm a bit iffy about is the non-secret ending though.
It's amazing how much a game can really personify places. The school for example, it's just sitting there, longing for the time when hundreds would move through it at once, while also being confused as to how it got in this situation in the first place.
I don’t know who recommended this but kudos to them. There’s a special place in my heart for the Backrooms and boy, did this deliver a hit that I didn’t know I needed.
As you said it seemed very simplistic at the beginning but we got depth and twists and surprises that don’t seem possible, yet here I am feeling positively satiated.
You're literally marathoning this game, Mr. Librarian! Epic!
Also, did you noticed that cryptids are moving to the beat?)
Ah, so our adventure comes to a close. Very well, let's dive in!
I appreciate how you pause and admire places and atmospheres and how you share your thoughts with us, not just rushing through as many do, it really gives your playthroughs a sense of soul.
-"Lost Your Keys"
-Enters a... Lemon party.
Oh god. Oh no no no. No.
The backrooms are basically a meme at this point in these kinds of games. You'd be disappointed if you _didn't_ find a backrooms segment.
Kinda sad this series is ending, thanks for playing though!
i love this youtuber. we should get the librarian a liminal library :D
there wasn't a manequin in front of the exit until after you took the manequin photo...
they didn't apreciate you doing that
Also that fart in the bathroom from the a-lmao in all that quiet was so funny.
57:02
I wonder if he actually knows what a "Lemon Party" is.
Please, no one tell him.
5:54 that made me think of my school days and the fact that I not even once in my entire school carreer have been the very first student to arrive in the morning and I remember that I always used to wonder how it would feel for that person to just walk in and not see the whole building filled with life and that typical morning hectic flair of an ant hill. I guess that was an early fascination with liminal spaces years before even knowing about it.
this game reminds me of an old mall I used to go to it was still active with shops well shop now there were only 3 active businesses an orthodontist office which is why i went there a barber shop which went out of business into a tattoo shot which went out of business and then a bakery that i liked to go to which you already know what happened to them but the strangest part was although the mall (which is a hotel now btw) was still doing things like hosting parties but to get there you had to walk through the abandoned parts of the mall and see all these old shops like an art gallery and and a antique shop with stuff still in it but now just used as cheap storage.
I was literally thinking about Skinnamarink just today, get out of my head!
Wonderful series. It really seems like this game was made for the Librarian. You made this into way more than just taking pictures. Thank you for bringing us along with you.
the first video i ever watched on your channel was the random elevator on gmod and ik its not much and all but i love your videos!!!
6:13 - 6:15 that looks like a popular liminal image that's made rounds on the internet in the liminal space community.
Never felt so called out mid school brain RuneScape literally grind whilst watching
Absolutely loved this series! Truely a unique and atmospheric game, definitely gonna be using these videos to fall asleep in the future!
Yet another amazing series
If you want another photography game, umuragi generation might be a good one to check out
Hey Lib, I want to make a video recommendation to you: explore Counter Strike Source maps. Today I decided to check the Chernobyl map and it was really scary. The atmosphere of that is extremely creepy. I would love to see you doing something similar.
14:52 happens to best of us
I've seen this game a few times already but I think this was the most appreciative playthrough of them all. I appreciate your thought on your themes and the environment and the respect you gave it all.
Favorite level was probably the neighborhood by aesthetics: you very rarely see 'outdoor' liminal spaces and this one was handled extremely well. The way the lights wink out as you try to get people's attention is really eerie and the howl of the snow leaves you straining your ears for any sign of life.
Finally, a finale of black friday!
The only candles bit was SO underrated. Now I'm interested 🤪 /j
love opening youtube to see other video on this great game! makes my day
The funny thing is that he makes videos for us and it's really kind, thank you for the content the librarian. Also thank you for making mostly everything you made, it's fun to watch your content. I almost watch your content all day. Thank you for everything, The librarian ( Ps: You don't need to like, I'll just enjoy if you do! I never got to be top comment on big youtubers )
I think out of them all its between the suburb or hotel being the scariest/creepiest and im personally leaning toward the suburb being my creepiest pick
I image they broke the camera because they didn’t want to believe that what they went through was real, so they destroyed any possible undeniable proof that would cause them to have a mental breakdown or something, ignorance is bliss.
1:00:30 really expected here to be the Infra forbidden tunnel jumpscare
The high school setting is very nostalgic I might be speaking on it myself but it's very nostalgic to me
I feel as though all these places have a dripping ceiling to show that they are actually weeping and are missing much more than just people. Like the mall lost it's stores, theater lost a stage, the hotel and garage lost it's stairs, the neighborhood lost a house, and the gas station lost it's cars.
I also think it gave you the camera to take pictures the locations themselves before they're gone.
Yooo as soon as I saw the Vinesauce reference I had a flashback to watching someone else play this other kind of liminal-inspired dream-based game called Hypnagogia: Boundless Dreams, which ALSO has a Vinesauce easter egg, and I looked it up and lo and behold they're by the same person! I would recommend that game for this channel also, and its prequel/demo/precursor (simply titled Hypnagogia with no subtitle, though they do have some crossover of course)
I should've clocked it earlier TBF, the art direction and general theming is very similar, though H:BD is more narrative-driven (if still exploration-focused)
Wow, you're pumping out videos like a skynet factory pumps out T-800's right now and I'm here for it!
Sweet your the noah wyle of video games! ❤ i can hear excitement in your voice on things you are passionate about. 🔥
I would honestly love it so much if you could do more red dead redemption 2 videos! If you ever do another one you should explore the area of Roanoke ridge and explore the eerie and disturbing area and uncover the mystery of the murfree brood!
What a great little game! Wow
Not sure if you've played it, or if it would be a good fit for the channel, but a game that really fits creepy/comfy and has a theme of closed down malls and Midwestern malaise is "Night in the Woods"
"SMASH CAPITALISM!"
this game is a phenomenal eye candy i really enjoyed the vibes of the game aswell the commentary my favorite parts was the aliens but as far as levels they were all incredibly solid too hard to pick 👌
youve got a good eye for photo composition
YES!
I wad right, this WAS the game with the fart jumpscare.
Librarian onlycandles when? 😳
i slept to all 3 videos 3 nights ina row lol
Shame that the secret vinny vinesauce room was changed :( but who doesn't love a lemon party ! :)
Just to clear a bit of possible confusion: Vsauce and Vineshroom are two different youtubers. The loggo was for Vinny, aka, Vineshroom.
I think the game dev got a bit confused because there's also a streaming service called Vinesauce.
31:55 fartscare
6:50 I think the light switches are also about getting better lighting for a photo.
Chris found the Vinny reference :)
You should play Alisa. It's a ps1 style love letter to old resident evil games.
You also encountered a few Vinesauce easter eggs.in Voices of the Void, most notably the pizza box.
I'm sure in the future there will be more easter eggs of you, Gmod maps aside.
Just woke up kinda raining and a librarian vid while sipping hot coffee nice.
It’s a good day when The Librarian uploads
The mall is the best level.
I think malls are trying to switch more towards entertainment instead of shopping. Things like arcades and child gambling 😅
i wish for a photo album link in the description. I wish you took more photos too
** Not YET **
You should really play Hypnagogia by the same creators
1:16:03
allow us to show you the secrets of the universe:
Vinesauce crossover when :^)
1:03:34 INFRA fan inception
14:56 specially if you’re like me and found all the shortcuts
Can't believe Chris would show his wick on Onlycandles, you think you know a guy, smh.
Can you play this gmod map called horror the accident. Jumpscare warning
1:05:49 omg-- red hall-- on the corner-- is that a "smile"(2022) reference?
Have you played “The Beginner’s Guide”?
I think you would enjoy the game.
Hi
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) not yet
Please play BEWARE!
Pslyn
49:57 Thoughts on 📸💔Broken Camera Ending: The protagonist, after all that was seen in the seemingly apocalyptic-like evil👾future - decides while in his car, that he is going to try and forget it for it is not worth dwelling on such negative prospects you cannot see a good end to (so the Camera data is thrown away as an after thought.
👽👽👽on the ALTERNATE Ending: If you find ALL the aliens (secret bonus Level): You find a new-found curiosity and potential HOPE for the future and in so value the Camera data even more. Maybe you can show people your pictures; and hope those aliens are there to save us in the end.
