I honestly hope that Hall Of the Machine King is a more open world type game compared to Boneworks and Bonelab, almost like a more story driven SCP-3008. Having to traverse a large abandonned company warehouse type building while fighting off weaker robots, finding new weapons, progressing the game, and avoiding larger robots that you can't kill yet just seems like a fun and also scary game.
4:37 isn't that literally what they are? Most of the mirrors have warnings that there are living void entities on the other side, one escapes in pillar climb, and in Mirror there's a dev room that corroborates the idea.
You know what would be cool, if “Jay” was a name for everyone who escaped fantasy land. The Lava Gang is just filled with a bunch of people named Jay, but you know Jimmy doesn’t like army’s.
For the mirrors, making a separate, "mirrored" room to simulate reflections without rtx has been used is game development for as long as I've been alive. However, as far as game lore goes, the reflections are physical void entities that mimic whats in front of the mirror. And I'm probably oversimplifying that.
Fun fact: The whole game is a loop! The dialogue you get at the end of the game in the taxi is actually the same dialogue playing in on the radio in the first level! I know most people already know this but I still wanted to put it out there,
3:53 the half room is a reference to the movie brazil, in one scene the guy goes to his dystopian office job and its shown that his office is miniscule and he shares a desk thats mounted halfway through the wall with the guy the next office over who keeps pulling it more to his side
The x symbol that you see is referring to one of the cryptids seen throughout the game and in boneworks, the end part, we’re given a gravity manipulator on the wall next to it. There’s writing that says your welcome signed by x with a monkey next to it which is inferred to be the sign of the cryptid.
Fun fact: Jimmy the end of level 14 days that if they aren’t listening to the end credit music, they’ll be driving in circles. And when you’re on the car, you don’t hear any music, explaining why he’s driving in circles.
Something about the mirrors, i havent played bonelab in a while but i do remember a warning on the mirror in the lab that says something like "dont break mirror, it will free the entity inside" but that might just be a nod to how the game was developed
I knew the bonelab hub was a little creepy, no cap. I've seen black dark figures watching me, and i hear weird sounds. i can't even play the game without a ford by my side.
where is the black figures though i played bonelabs for a couple of times and never found any though i did hear weird noises but thats probably the quarantine place or that box with the skull
Jimmy actually also drives in circles while taking you to the menu, I figured this out when I was messing around with the car. One of the things I did was spawn a nullbody and see what happened when jimmy hit him. To my surprise, I saw that same nullbody a little while after.
If you go to the one parkour map that’s in a dungeon looking area there is a secret bunker door at the end behind the stand and if you noclip through it has a Duck Season Easter egg and it’s creepy in there
The 'half room' looks like a reference to the film Brazil, which features a pretty similar corridor and room set up (the protagonist is forced to share half his desk with someone on the other side)
0:17 no the X logo is from boneworks and Duck Season. It means guidance, specifically correct guidance. The monkey at the beginning of boneworks means misguidance
8:38 It could be referencing a lot of stuff but the first thing that came to mind for me was the mission Break on Through from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.
i never knew that bonelab wasnt actually Project 4 That part broke my brain and knowing that there's gonna be a sequel got me so excited cause I thought they said they weren't doing another
There is actually a mod map called Stress relief centre and there is a secret room with polyblanks copying your every movement and you can actually punch them but it lags your game after killing them and you can not grab them.
Sorry if this is already mentioned but Im pretty sure I know what the desk halfway through the wall is. Theres a scene in the movie "Brazil" where the main character getrs a desk job in a small cramped office and a tiny desk. He soon finds out that the desk isnt small, the other half of the desk is fed through the thin wall to an identical office where another worker tries to pull the desk to get more space. The joke is rather than pay for 2 desks, the company created a wall dividing the space in half so they could have 2 workers with the same desk and not have to pay for another one. Look at the scene the size/layout of the rooms is almost identical.
Fun Fact!: The mirror is just a RigManager. The RigManager is a system that copies all of your movement and is only available when you are in range of the mirror. instead of inverted cameras, many 3D VR game devs like me use RigManagers because they are easy and best for development. However a mod came out that allows you to spawn a RigManager(basically a clone)
i dont think thats what it is. its used as a signature on one of the clipboards, and another youtuber has theorized that it is just the name of the wanderer.
The mummification I didn't expect, I'm sure it's just to add more to the fantasy ascetic but mummifying someone also impels they were important as it was done to pharos, and it is a long and gulling process. But there are also graves from the other villagers that were shown when you come back to fight. Maybe they possibly ran out of space or it's a preference?
I remember my first time going through the campaign thinking there was gonna be some big boss fight against some unholy amalgamation of avatar parts. But home was still a pretty cool final level I guess
Jay would have been a different character entirely if the cut broadcast where kept. This was probably super early development like, when we first saw that project 4 image early, they imply that he does not know he is in a simulation which could mean he was forced there, or he got his memory wiped. This was more than likely changed because us the player would know what MythOS is and jay not knowing would be a little weird and not give us a reason to connect with him like compared to the release version. But since the void contains different timelines this would be an interesting version to explore and would be a nice contrast to ford's doubles not really meaning anything.
11:19 this voice line also appears at the start of the game through the radios (not sure which one). not sure what you'd do with that info, but its there
The light on the mountain could be in reference to the machine king as the title of the game is based off of the classical song, “hall of the mountain king”
11:40 its so disheartening to hear 'and no one noticed' when I in fact noticed, but figured since I was a nobody, I didn't bother saying anything about it. I had a quest 2 and was immensely excited for the upcoming pro controllers because they were compatible, so I instantly noticed them in the poster. :c
I'm pretty sure one theory was that we WERE an AI but the AI had summoned us into their mind. Hence why they were hung. it has also been stated before the bonelab player is literally yourself.
@@BillyBob_1177 still doesn’t change the fact that we have seen the fantasy land AI’s dead, us as the player shouldn’t be able to give the peasant the respawn ability
Idk about that first one. It could be the SCP symbol, but the SCP is two horizontal parallel lines with X in between. The symbol, everywhere you see it in game, is |x| which is the symbol for absolute zero. No idea what absolute zero would mean in the context of Bonelab, but its more similar to the symbol fot absolute zero than it is to the SCP symbol
Welp hopefully b-side launches smoothly and not rushed like bonelab because patch 4 is basically a remaster or just how the game was supposed to release
Project 4 books can be found around the maps, i think there is one in the secret lab in tuscany (for those of you wo don't know where it is you have to grab a keycard from the statue in the town the fly from the back of the house to the back of the map there will be a door and the lab is there)
11:17 I don’t think jimmy is saying we have to fight a boss we heard him say the first line ever we heard in the end and beginning I think he is saying that to a new player also I think that the radio we hear him on is connected to his car so he is saying that to the car radio for the new player to hear
yo, i remember you saying that you couldn't get patch four to work, and i rememberd that you would have to switch it back to the live version(only if you were on the public beta), if that doesn't work than gl
|x| could be the unsafe symbol but rotated 90• but is most likely the symbol for X, Someone who is helping us and ford through out bonelab and boneworks

IXI is not related to scp, its a character who writes on the walls in boneworks/duck season
I think the ending of the game is your character escaping the simulation to see what’s above
8:38 It could be referencing a lot of stuff but the first thing that came to mind for me was the mission Break on Through from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.
I deadass quote “we need an army, but I don’t like armies” and “we need another creator” daily
