gonna be so real at the beginning when they were in hazmat suits i had the little window playing on opera browser and i thought they were butt ass naked. thank you for uploading john
All I was looking at was the weird ass shading and details on the ass, usually in suits like that it's just sags since it's loose not whatever it was doing in the game 😂
Don't you know? Grocery stores are already selling Halloween candy. Of COURSE it's the season! In September! I've even been seeing Christmas ads, so it's Christmas too. In September. 🫠
If you’re not ready for Halloween by September, you’re doing it wrong! Especially if you plan on any sort of competition, pro’s aide is price jacked sky high and monster grey is sold out :/
i really love your unedited takes, it really does feel like watching my sister play video games on our old family computer. thanks for the good vibes as always :)
Gosh this brought me back to middle school - spending the night with my best friend, watching her older brother and his cool goth friends playing silent hill on the PlayStation 1 all night in their basement and trying to explain it to us, and we had no idea what was going on but we were happy to be included. Great times.
10:34 "red means scary y'all. The horror begins" 😂 already loving this one, instant classic. Thanks John, hope all is well for you and yours. edit: the sound and level design in this are really impressive, despite the spots where it sounds like there should be a monster and there is none! Really nice work!
4 hour trip to get to this beach, John: "wow, we're already there?" We're British, mate. A half hour trip counts as a long drive in these parts. Fun fact: no matter where you are in Britain, you're never more than 72 miles from the coast. Kinda puts into perspective how small we are compared to the US.
My family in Britain and Ireland have said too, and it's the same story in NZ. You're rarely more than 60kms from the coast, and if you can't see both the ocean and a mountain range, it probably means you're on/in one lol
@@atgoshwow, that is interesting! I live in the US (TN) and my commute to work is an hour each way. Now that said, its not totally the norm but it isn’t that wild either. Also, i have a vacation coming ups on that we take every yr to the beach (9 hrs without stops) 😂 did i mention i have a 4 yr and 6mo babes. Whoo gonna be fun times!
That’s crazy to hear- I live in North Carolina in the U.S and last year I went with my friend to a beach 6 hours/400 miles away that was still in the same state Interesting to think about how that difference in scale affects cultures and everything
@@lightningq61 Land's End to John o' Groats (or vice versa) is the most famous cycling trip one can take here - from the Southwest to Northeast extremes of Great Britain. It's 874 miles (1,407 km). To put that in perspective, to drive that trip is 837 miles (1,347km) and takes about 14 hours.
@@mandyholt1795 Jeez, it's 15mins to work for me if traffic's heavy, and I thought 40mins each way was bad at my last job. And roadtrips are great, you might be in for a lot of ‘Are we there yet??’ though 😅
Really needed this after a rough week, perfect vid to relax and play games to. I know juggling baby raising and recording ain’t easy so thanks for your efforts.
About the clothes, in this timeline it's possible they are made from materials that are "compostable" so they won't last hundreds of years in a landfill. People are working on that today but we do this pesky thing called "washing" and that causes things like bamboo fibers to break down quickly. The goal IS to have them rot away in sixty or so years though. (There goes the vintage clothing industry)
eh, hardly anyone makes anything worth keeping these days. Let the worms have it, it's 90% barrel-scraping minimalist dystopian dreck anyway, hence the landfill problem 😁
It makes me nervous that Sasha and her crew went in all hazmat-suited with masks on and all and Mica's just strolling around with her face and skin exposed to obvious mold (!). But between how cool and chic/fashionable Mica is dressed and the constant dialogue about how gross the apartments are (which yeah I can understand why the narration is banging on about that, after decades of that it WOULD be disgusting and naturally that's what someone new coming in would notice), it is making me laugh HOW MUCH she's bringing it up unprompted. John's valley girl "GROSS" bit felt so on the money lmao
This is just a guess, but I think they tried writing Mica to be like Heather from Silent Hill 3, the type of Heather before Harry's tragedy happens. Before the tragedy, she was snarky and comments on things like "uh I don't want to eat anything from an alternate dimension ok". It's giving me the same vibes lol.
@@nuviretto Heather also apparently tries to take a bath in a building which is under construction, in a tub which is obviously not connected to any pipes. Her disappointed reaction when no water comes out is still one of the funniest things in the whole Silent Hill series, and I'm including the joke endings here. At least Mica didn't go as far... yet.
John, aortic dissection is when your aorta gets a tear. Not a dissection like with a frog in high school. Source, friendly neighborhood hypochondriac. Lol. Thanks for the cool series.
any time john says “we’re shimmying now” or any variation of the phrase including the word shimmy… shimmyshimmyaeshimmyaeeeshimmyaaaahhh drank. swaaalaalaalaaahhh
aortic dissection is a natural thing, actually. very sudden, very scary. in the most basic of basic terms, the aorta (main artery of the body) rips open and you don't have blood flowing through the body anymore
Me yelling at Jon to try the leaking battery on the expand foam lol. Let's see if that works. 😅😅 I think he could have gotten whatever was in the whole with the stick with the nails. Now I'm curious what it is lol.
I'm sorry I laughed so hard when the protagonist's car fell from the sky. The lines were just read like she spilled her coffee, not like she just crash landed. 😭
Ooh, and with Doug Runningman's Crow Country on the docket for Book Club, John's got a heaping helping of survival horror on his plate (hopefully not too samey). Idk when he'll get to it or if it'll go up on the channel, but that's interesting that they'll be kind of in the same timeframe as each other. So far, the visuals and atmosphere are really great, seems like it really captured the feeling it was going for. Like the simple but spooky creature designs! That noodley looking pale woman creeped me out lol.
Fortunately, I think Crow Country differentiates from this well enough. Crow Country has that RE1 'mansion' blueprint to it, which this doesn't really follow. I hope he has a good time with the both of them.
Oh, hell yeah I was hoping you'd play this one!! Been following the development of this game for a long time but I really suck at these types of games so I'm happy I get to watch it here 🥺
The only TH-camr I still watch. I've never been happier for a rebrand of a creator than when you stopped going by Harshly Critical. Not because it was a bad name, but I felt it wasn't accurate lol. I'd call you more common sense and honesty lol
Nice, hope you have a good time with the game! I had to wait to start watching cause I also wanted to play it, and fortunately I got far enough along that it was okay to watch. I don't know how much it changes things in the long run, but you actually can save that guy. I chose some different options from you and managed to convince him to step away from the edge.
1:15:36 given the conditions i would be really surprised if the clothes WERENT rotted LOL especially when you think about just dry rot in general and how prevalent it is on old uncared for clothes and other stuffs
dang i followed this game development pretty closely through the dev devlogs and posts, i really like him. And i was waiting for someone like you specially to play it, it even enhances the experience for me, the game looks even better than expected. Those 3 references, silent hill 1 fixed camera lighter intro, the matrix 1 rain bridge scene and the first encounter parasite eve style :D even the protagonist looks like aya brea, it is right around my alley
The section with the man on the roof reminded me very strongly of the scene in Cry of Fear when Sophie is on the roof. The guy was even dressed like Simon so i would bet it was a little reference.
With the level of robotics they probably have the place she lives in is likely to be scrubbed spotless almost hourly. This is probably a big shock "The way humans USED to live". We are currently the same about open air cesspools with a toilet built on a platform above it. (Slumdog Millionaire)
its wild! no wonder youtubers have trouble remembering stuff and where to in games they are trying sort through like five different game memories and commentate at the same time 😅
I found these apartments very similar to the one at the beginning of Cry of Fear. When you look at it, both games quite start in a similar way (after a car crash, the character proceeds into an apartment building)
This game really captured the Silent Hill and early RE vibe really well! Unfortunately the gameplay and story itself feel really dull to me. Even if it doesn't pick up the pace, I'll still stick around to watch you play!
this game is supposed to be dark but you’ve got your game brightness a bit too low. If you look at other gameplay, the area outside of the flashlight is not supposed to be almost pitch black.
In case no one said already, that was the wall she flew over. Britain went the "Escape from New York" route which is ok with me with the American prison system getting as bad as it is. (I travel the country working in different prisons)
Cant be just Me, Yet does the Map and Inventory UX / UI bring me fond memories of Metal Gear or Metroid Prime franhcise or series of Games ( Clarification not a slight wish more games did as Giants of ol' within the industry and cribbed what worked and left what didn't )
Schizophrenic woman breaks into condemned buildings to critique the waster works. Truly stunning game likely to be showered with praise. A full Show/Er
Yeah agreed. It feels surprisingly repetitive so far. The apartments were really lacking in some stand out areas. Only just few stand out apartments would've made a huge difference. It's cool otherwise.
Love these long videos much love ❤ also when he says is anyone asking you to sleep here its true no one is asking then i thought well wait john is asking lol becsuse he keeps clicking exmine everywhere 😂 its ok i would do it as welk im just being a smart butt😅 you know the actual word im saying but i wasnt sure if i can use it in the comments😂.
My only small complaint with the game itself is that the "system critical" warning constantly popping up is kind of annoying. But so far really digging the atmosphere!

And now you realize, 'cool goth' was an oxymoron...
@@user-os7ec4dm8x oi!
What a cool memory
I work in pest control and running with a full face mask is insane. This character is an athlete lol
I like that, even in an era of flying cars, horror games will still start with a car crash sometimes.
I was just waiting to hear John say “Sincerely, Evil” when reading that letter from the management company 😂
My favorite joke of his. Always makes me smile when he does it 😆
10:34 "red means scary y'all. The horror begins" 😂 already loving this one, instant classic. Thanks John, hope all is well for you and yours.

i could also see the clothes rotting from water damage- the building is in disrepair and it was raining when mica was outside
Hollow everybody! Excited for this one, thanks John!

haha was coming to see if someone commented this! I’m a medical coder for a hospital, so hearing all the terms was kinda funny
"Is Geordi La Forge over here going to get up?" Very much here for this! 🤣🤣
any time john says “we’re shimmying now” or any variation of the phrase including the word shimmy…
shimmyshimmyaeshimmyaeeeshimmyaaaahhh
drank. swaaalaalaalaaahhh
Lol same though I have a completely different song in mind:
I wanna shimmyshimmyshimmy through the break of dawn yeeeaah!
~Shimmy by System of a Down
The dark moody vibes of this game are 👌chef's kiss. Perfect atmosphere for the start of Fall.
the environments look pretty sick, as someone that lives in the UK its more eerie seeing buildings destroyed like that
"We might not be able to run up hill there." -insert Kate Bush reference here!

Stylistically they've fucking nailed this
That's some seriously bowlegged walk
Oh my gosh! Another horror marathon for me to watch!!
Your spoiling us, John
Yess! Let the spooky season begin! Thanks John for the amazing uploads! Hope the fam is doing well! 🥳
I'm really liking this so far. It's really playing into my nostalgia for games like these

looks good...classic John...Lets go baby!!

Thanks alot for the Hollow Body playthrough John.. 🔥 hope this gets a release on consoles
i love the footstep sound effects, makes me feel like i’m in minecraft
this is a great one! looking forward to how things play out! thanks, John
Been interested in this one, thank you for the playthrough.

It reminds me so much to cry of fear which was the game that made me subscribe to John’s channel years ago :) this is really cool
why is the ambient sound design so relaxing
My favorite kind of play throughs
This game reminds me of the earlier Resident Evil games on the PSX, and I love it.
I'm getting Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness vibes from the climbing/parkour segments and the semi tank controls.
The parent tired is real 🤣. You sometimes wonder why you can’t keep your eyes open…
love your videos and your commentary
This seems interesting so far. Eager to see more!
Absolutely love that you are playing this for the channel! But can't watch yet bc I wanna play it myself first.
I've been following this game for years, looking forward to your playthrough.
I’m excited for a new horror playthrough from John as fall sets in!
The section with the man on the roof reminded me very strongly of the scene in Cry of Fear when Sophie is on the roof. The guy was even dressed like Simon so i would bet it was a little reference.
I'm only about 25 minutes in, and I can already tell that this game is my kind of shit. The atmosphere is peak! Hope they can keep it up throughout!

Not me sitting here going "But it all comes back to you?" then laughing so loud I almost woke up my partner.
man you have so many playthroughs going on at once, how do you do it??? i still have so many to catch up on D:
its wild! no wonder youtubers have trouble remembering stuff and where to in games they are trying sort through like five different game memories and commentate at the same time 😅
im excited for this playthrough!
I know its just the suit but gyot dayum your character is caked up lol
It's nice to see classic survival horror making a comeback. I kinda miss gameplay like this.
just started the video! this looks fun!
Woot woot Happy Birthday to meeee thank you John!
What are these sneaky Linkin Park lyrics, Now that song is stuck in my head.
I found these apartments very similar to the one at the beginning of Cry of Fear. When you look at it, both games quite start in a similar way (after a car crash, the character proceeds into an apartment building)
Thanks John From Italy🇮🇹☮️
Yaaaassss thank you!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜
Chasing static was a mess of a game. Excited to see if they've improved with this one!
This game really captured the Silent Hill and early RE vibe really well! Unfortunately the gameplay and story itself feel really dull to me. Even if it doesn't pick up the pace, I'll still stick around to watch you play!
The murderer conversation makes me think there’s multiple endings for some reason, possibly a pacifist ending? That would be cool
sooo sooooo soooooo excited to see a horror game agaiin! 🥲
this game is supposed to be dark but you’ve got your game brightness a bit too low.
If you look at other gameplay, the area outside of the flashlight is not supposed to be almost pitch black.
well, now I know one use for battery acid...
This game looks good, has a nice atmosphere to it
I must be losing it cause I keep reading the SEEK prompt as ISEKAI 😂
Omfg same! 😂
*check for Mark on the beach* ... runs back uphill. Oh Im gonna enjoy this :D
I remember watching a demo of this a while ago, it looks really promising imo!
Hey John, have you ever bought flares to keep in your trunk after playing these games all these years?

Alright, the developers definitely loved both Drive and Blade Runner 2049
Woooooooooooo!! Excited! :D
