Honestly, 1) Nice little Clock Tower: The First Fear references (The "bad ending" with the car is very similar to Clock Tower, complete with little panicked eye in the mirror), 2) nice touch that they made your cursor shake when you're running from the killer. I thought this was gonna be like Cursed or the older games like Uninvited or Deja Vu, but it's like if Clock Tower was a NES game.
I remember playing this at a PAX demo years ago. Obviously an early build, but what was very funny was I hit a bug where I picked up the corpse in the pool and had it in my inventory. It's great to finally see the finished game!
There is an actual new sequel to ShadowGate that recently released. The music and graphics are in the 8 bit style. Fun playthrough if you love the original NES game.
Thank you for this... the funny thing is I didn't see the thing I was stuck on for the bad ending delivered, I just finally saw what was in front of my face the whole time.
@@CrankyTemplar Ooh, that's a tough question. Mostly because there's so many good games in UFO 50! But if I have to say which games that I like the most out of all 50 games, I have a list for that so far, consider it a top 15 games in no particular orders: Ninpek, Mortol 2 (I like the first game too but the game pace is a lot slower there), Golfaria, Pingolf, Night Manor, Warptank, Caramel Caramel, Vainger, Valbrace, Grimstone, Elfazar's Hat, Mini & Max, Cyber Owl and Seaside Drive. That's all of it
@@CrankyTemplar Also, I'm aware that you also covered Valbrace on your channel as well as this Night Manor game, which both I love very much. If you need a recommendation for another game to cover from UFO 50, I'd probably say Mini & Max. Although to be honest, I only bought UFO 50 yesterday and haven't played any of the games there to completion yet
Thanks for the suggestion! I've tried a few casually but haven't really found one I want to focus to completion (I have tried Valgress and Warptank a bit but haven't been super hooked) so I'll check out Mini & Max too.
@@CrankyTemplar Thank you so much for considering it! I don't know what's the end goal for Mini & Max just yet, but I definitely would love watching you play it. Also, you earned my sub already, man
The story is of a man who starts writing in a journal and drinking a special tea his doctor gives him. The tea is made from some kind of fungus and starts making the family sick but the man keeps drinking it and eventually everyone else dies and he loses his mind, with the last journal entry being gibberish, like the Itchy Tasty message from the first Resident Evil.
@@TyeNee Weird choice to have you play as Leda Eisenhower, a rookie cop on her first day at the Possum City Police Department, but I really liked her arc over the course of the game!
I tried smashing the car windows with the crowbar and that didn’t work, so I got stuck whenever smashing something with the crowbar was required. Really great game tho.
lmao had to look at this video for a guide cause I was stuck at the end of the game looking for how to get the item out of the sink. Of course it was the tweezers right above it.
The opening moments of the game are pretty much taken from The Uninvited. It says the last thing you remember before the car crash and blacking out that starts the game was a shadowy figure standing in the middle of the road, which is what happens here.
Having to use the piano wire at the end really messed with me after trying to use it on everything else in the game. I really thought I needed to find a fuse for the fusebox.
I think at the end of my first play I didn't have much else besides the wire and was looking for it's time to shine after carrying it for so long. It was kind of the same with the magnifying glass and the password but it took me ages to see where to use it and was more from sheer dumb luck of checking everything.
@@TyeNee Awesome, good luck with it! Once things click and you have the feel for fighting each monster it does seem maybe a little too many monsters spawn but it was overall a really well-done game.
11:15 glitch tile top center of the screen in the background. 17:48 oh nevermind. Not sure if the dev spotted they forgot to remove the black background of the sprite.
I had to look up where to use the magnifying glass, but otherwise I figured everything else out on my own...EXCEPT for the fact that the killer is attracted to loud noises. I thought he just randomly showed up throughout the game! Definitely made things more frustrating, but I got the Cherry in the end (just not the good ending).
Found another playthrough that read *most* of the entries. Seems this was caused by some tea that a therapist gave the husband. But where did it come from?
Hey CrankyTemplar, do you plan on doing beyond shadowgate the full game? You did the demo about a year or 2 ago and the full game just released this morning at 10:00AM and I think you might like the game since you did enjoy the Macventure series and the different ways the protagonists can die in them, like I imagine you might even show off the many ways Del Cottonwood can be killed if you do Beyond Shadowgate videos.
I'm playing through the game right now and will be trying to get a deaths and endings video up for it. I may upload a playthrough after I finish the first time so that I can have things a good bit more optimized (like with this upload).
I've finished with three out of four endings and will have some more stuff to experiment with death-wise but it's definitely good if you want a Shadowgate sequel.
using the crowbar in order to get the egg was where i got annoyed and gave up, dont see how i would have figured out cutting up the doll or using the crowbar in the mirror either
@@CrankyTemplar When you use "look" the doll, it says that there is something inside. When you look the display case, it says that there is a strange egg inside. And when you use "look" on the doll house, it says that there is something very little written on a wall. The "look" option and the journal entries has a lot of informations, but we often stop using it quite early in the game, thinking we'll only get unimportant descriptions.
Honestly, 1) Nice little Clock Tower: The First Fear references (The "bad ending" with the car is very similar to Clock Tower, complete with little panicked eye in the mirror), 2) nice touch that they made your cursor shake when you're running from the killer.

small correction but the cursor shaking when the killer shows up is actually the game doing that, still cool effect though
I remember playing this at a PAX demo years ago. Obviously an early build, but what was very funny was I hit a bug where I picked up the corpse in the pool and had it in my inventory.
It's great to finally see the finished game!
Now I'm picturing just throwing the corpse at the killer and running.
A mix between DéjàVu/Uninvited/Clock Tower. Good thing the genre "point and click" game made his come back.
I wish there were more new games like this. Definitely inspired by Uninvited.
have you heard of the "cursed" series of games? there's 3 of them, although the first one is showing it's age. they are free on steam
Just wait a couple weeks for clock tower rewind 😊
There is an actual new sequel to ShadowGate that recently released. The music and graphics are in the 8 bit style. Fun playthrough if you love the original NES game.
12:37 anything that produces a loud noise attracts the masked figure.
I REALLY wish there were more games like this -I even liked how they handled the "gacked by the stalker" situation.
Reminds me of Personal Nightmare and Waxworks. Two Horrorsoft games I played on the Amiga back in the day.
Thank you for this... the funny thing is I didn't see the thing I was stuck on for the bad ending delivered, I just finally saw what was in front of my face the whole time.
No problem, hopefully you were able to finish!
Such a great game for a great collection. Love it so much, and love your direct playthrough too

@@TyeNee So the doctor was behind the whole mess? Guess there's one loose end to tie up.

Same! The two solutions i had to seek out help were both crowbar vs glass lol; you're not alone there
lmao had to look at this video for a guide cause I was stuck at the end of the game looking for how to get the item out of the sink. Of course it was the tweezers right above it.
I actually missed the tweezers for a while on my first play. I should have realized that was a medicine cabinet and not just a mirror.

Best pixelated horror survival game

クロックタワーみたいで面白そう
でもちょっと複雑すぎるかも
The Mansion was base on Uninvited and the endings basically escape endings from Clock Tower
This was my favorite game so far and first 100%
Definitely recommend Valbrace if you like dungeon crawlers. That was my second 100% after Night Manor.
@@CrankyTemplar I'm playing that one right now. I love the combat in it.
@@TyeNee Awesome, good luck with it! Once things click and you have the feel for fighting each monster it does seem maybe a little too many monsters spawn but it was overall a really well-done game.
I'm at 16% of this game but I'm too scared to play the rest, shits scary hahah
Thanks for sharing this gem with us 💎
No problem, definitely recommend picking this up to play if you haven't already.
I was stuck in my game, wondering how i'd mix the ingredients at the end... Turns out I never noticed the bowl at the very beginning! lmao

I wonder what the journal entries said?
It's a combination of hints and explaining the story that led to the infestation and deaths of his family.
@@CrankyTemplar The hints are fine, I would've like to know the story behind the infestation.
Found another playthrough that read *most* of the entries. Seems this was caused by some tea that a therapist gave the husband. But where did it come from?
@@smv4usa I don't think there's any explanation for where the tea came from or the motives of their therapist.
@@CrankyTemplar That's likely supposed to be the real scary part. No one knows where it came from or if there's more of it out there.

No, but you really don't need to.

Nope, different folks.
