The scariest part of this game is the absolute refusal to go to any authorities when being stalked so heavily.
While I do agree that you should still _try_ to seek help from the authorities, the unfortunate reality is that - at least here in the U.S. - police often don't take stalking too seriously, even when there is clear evidence and threat of violence :/
@@sw4mpy yea, thats true. but liam literally broke into her house and tried to assault her
@@sw4mpyyeah you’re better off going to a fire station or hospital over a police station
Or an empty mansion an hour from the city in this case
@@sw4mpyIn this case there is clear evidence of breaking and entering, so even the worst police would probably take you seriously.
This woman did literally everything you shouldnt do in a stalking situation.
Its a good premise for a game but the severe lapses in logic need addressing. Like give some kind of reason for not being able to go to the police, like Liam being the son of a high ranking officer or something.
Yeah I get the message they may have been trying to get across but making the protagonist like this does hinder the intended message. That is unless the intention was to make the protagonist naive and unaware of stalking and being stalked which in that case they did do a pretty good job, but it does feel a bit too Hollywood cliche.
There's a series of Japanese horror games like this and one has an almost identical premise. They handle it much better. I wish I could remember what the games were called because they're really interesting. I only know about them because AstralSpiff played 3 or 4 on stream.
@@carmandirda Do you mean Chilla's art games?
To be fair stress and high strung tension can make you make irrational decisions.
That first instance of Liam standing up from under the counter was one of the most effective jumpscares I've ever experienced
Right? Like I knew something was gonna happen when she said she needed to grab some water but I was NOT expecting him to just…be right there
It is the single greatest fear I have had since I was a kid - just stranger suddenly in the house, there, probably intending harm
@@winterthorns7533
Absolutely. And to me, it's almost scarier that he *isn't* a stranger...
@@elijahe7612 I think so too, somebody invading your home like that, in such a creepy way, and then you look at their face and recognise them? Insane
I legitimately felt like my body took a screenshot
dude that first jumpscare is so good. no music, nothing accentuating the scare, just pure raw "oh my god what the fuck"
You mean pure rawr
@@yikesproductions5116omg. Step on a landmine /j /reference /light hearted
It really got me too, even expecting it because of the water dialog
It’s going in my top ten best jumpscares
you say there was no music/any accentuating stuff, but i think the rapid heartbeat sound counts, it really set me on edge
always funny to think of mark basically just sitting there talking in the trust that lixian will edit himself in and not just make mark look like a maniac muttering to himself
Well I didn’t know I needed that until now lol
My god I wish I could unbelieve your comment...
dont give lixian any ideas..
Goes to show how reliable he is.
omg another txt stan that likes mark
The girls first mistake before even BEING with Liam was not having ANY curtains in her house 💀
There is the possibility that it was Liam's decision as a way to make her feel more vulnerable and for him to feel like he's in control as he know where is at all times
@@sundaygamer4092huh? you would never catch me living in a house like that...not by a long shot!
@@Ronald98 rich people are fearless
@@Ronald98with 4b7s3 a lot of things that seem like common sense fly out the door due to the toll on the victim's brain. It does a number on ones psyche/nm
Right tho!!
10:25 - Something also useful, if you're driving and you think someone may be following you, turn left/right 4 times so you go in a circle- No-one is gunna do that unless they're specifically following you-
Unless they’re looking for parking… in which case they may simply be hunting the same potential parking spot as you…
I did this several times. I'm kinda paranoiac, yes.
Unless they're doing the same thing to see if somebody is stalking THEM.
@@seanguo110I’m picturing just a long string of like 10 cars each thinking they’re being followed by the person behind them 😂
Or they're driving around smoking some zaza
That first Liam reveal was great. I loved it.
The motion of getting up was slow and the grunt/clearing throat made it feel so much more real.
This isn’t some teleporting ghost, it’s a human being. That makes it a lot more terrifying in my opinion.
But the premise of “I gotta get water” was stupid as hell. It doesn’t make sense because there really wasn’t any logical reason it couldn’t have been a key or a phone.
In fact, it would’ve added to the terror, because it would mean that Liam was *intentionally* hiding near the phone/keys in order to catch her.
Yeah bec why would he know she wants water before she leaves or how would he even know she's forgetting something it would've made more sense for him to be under the car or something and grabbed her leg 😭😭 that would've been a way more scary thing
they could’ve gone with “i forgot to turn the stove off” or something. phone or keys, like you said, would’ve also made more sense than… water.
The jumpscare of actual men just approaching you out of nowhere is indeed a true horror.
RIGHT? When Liam is first chasing her in her house, the jumpscare didn't get me, but when she was running around the couch and Mark turned the camera angle to look back and he was RIGHT THE FRICK BEHIND HER i legitimately screamed and immediately flung my arms up in defensive mode. The undead are scary but this kind of stuff is WAY worse.
the scariest type of horror isn't supernatural, it's real people and what they're capable of (imo)
god this game freaked me out
so real, i gasped in fear and almost choked💀
It's a terrible idea to do that, I've got a pretty quick draw and have had to pull my gun a couple of times. Luckily, I haven't had to shoot yet.
white man jumpscare
Mark discovering all the horrible things in the basement one by one was hilarious.
Is that a coffin...?
Best part 10/10
there was even a LAMP
Oh! That's for your neck!
So true
I feel like grandpa was in on it honestly, he told her to go by herself to a secluded mansion in the middle of the woods with literal coffins and torture equipment in the basement while a stalker is following her.
The scariest part of this is how many radiators grandpa has laying around
hey mr Scott whatcha gunna do? whatcha gunna do? make our dreams come true.
You could say…
You could say…
that the grandpa…
You could say that the grandpa has…
a radiant personality!
Please end me.
@@the-pink-hackerI love you
I never understand how some people could genuinely live in houses like this. With so many large windows with no blinds or curtains over them. Especially at night. I would be too paranoid to walk by them at night
It's my girlfriends favorite look for a house but I've always wondered how many curtains would be needed
as someone who lives in a house with big glass sliders and lots of windows with no curtains...yeah its pretty spooky here T-T And my parents wanna move to the countryside with this kinda house xD ;-;
Tbf though, how the hell did he even get into the house? Does he have a fucking grappling hook or something?
@@cookiecaine4188 exactly what i was thinking, is he secretly spiderman 😭
@@cookiecaine4188 Yeah I wondered about that too. Even the knocking in the first place, like isn't he in a corridor when he tries to get in and talk to her ?!
i love how mark says "that's actually a sensible thing to do" and then the rest of the game he's forced to make some of the worst safety decisions possible for a person who is actively being stalked
He said it too soon lol
Like going straight to the closest police station?
@@callak_9974It's not a terrible idea, but don't count on them. In most situations police literally cannot do anything for you unless the stalker has hurt you. The most you'll be able to do is make a report or see if they are willing to patrol your area for a few days.
@@callak_9974 That's not in the game
Grandpa being a mafia boss but a family man by heart would have been cool! Just imagining him appearing out of nowhere and pointing a gun behind Liam's head to save Kate at the last minute would have been menacing and badass!
true
Marks advice is sound about knowing where police, fire, and medical is for when you are being followed in your car. Make sure to always file reports of harassment. The police may not be able to do anything, but it goes a long way towards getting an RO by starting a paper trail. Security cameras, camera doorbells, front and rear dash cams, all with sound, are a huge help in proving stalking. Make sure your inner circle and neighbors know. Make sure work knows. If a person shows up unannounced, TRESPASS THEM EVERY SINGLE TIME AND GET THE REPORT. An RO won't prevent a stalker from doing things to you, but if violated, they will at the very least face jail time. Always carry a legal weapon on your person, your phone, a back up battery charger for said phone, and a small flashlight. Make sure to create some last stand spaces in your home that can be locked and that have a bit of water, food, a weapon, and first aid. Work on methods of egress from your home, job, and stores you frequent. Do not keep silent. Make a scene, ask for help, have back up plans to your back up plans, and call the dang cops. You cannot read the mind of a stalker, you can just know they are obsessive, and if they escalate, it rarely goes well. Protect yourself and your peace. Also check all electronics, your car, and home for spying equipment, gps trackers, spyware, etc. Use secure lines only and use complicated passwords. Change your phone number if they obtain it and harass you via the phone. Always screenshot and save messages to a cloud service to be used as evidence if needed. Do not be passive. If there's one thing many stalking survivors regret, it's not speaking up and getting the cops looped in early. It sucks that the onus is shifted on you to protect yourself but that's just the way it is, so be vigilant and advocate for yourself as much as possible. It's NOT your fault, whatever the stalker does, but fault does little to protect you in the moment.
even if a filing a report doesn't help YOU, it could very well help the next person who encounters your stalker. hell, it might even help them MORE. the police will go "hmm this is interesting. someone else has accused them of stalking. wonder why 2 separate people have now claimed they are dangerous 🤔🤔"
damn, chill out Batman
Yeah nah thats too much work, I don't enjoy life all that much just murder me
So basically, you'll still end up getting r@ped and / or killed, but at least there'll be evidence afterward to get them arrested?
@@dkjcb3993 Sorry to tell you this, but it's only theorical.
I wished Grandpa would arrive being a old time mob boss, telling her he would take care of the stalkers lighting a cigar, that would explaing having a mansion and the questionable activities
that'd be dope xD
Environmental storytelling! Too bad the plot wasn't that clever...
@@aeroon9991well it’s just a solo dev😂 I wouldn’t put to much on the story. It likely just was taking a while to Ben make what this game is now. And it states it will be continued.
Yeah I did question what the grandpa offered. "I got a big-ass empty mansion not far from where you live. Though you'll have to be in this big place alone."
She needs company ! People who can protect her ! Not a larger stage for hide and seek !
Yeah. I saw the basement and was really hoping that Grandpa was laying out a little trap for our stalker ex.
Seeing marks reaction to creepy guys is so comforting, and giving genuine advice for when you may be in a dangerous situation.
Massive edit because the replies to this comment devolved so quickly
1. the 'not all men' statement is true yes, but here is not the place to put said statement, after seeing a very brave person share their story of fear it's extremely innapropriate to pull out the not all men thing at that time. While I agree with the statement to a degree, statistics show that it is most men or mostly men, not to take away the valididaty of those who have been abused by women, their stories are valid and deserve to be heard aswell, just do not use those stories to your advantage as a man.
2. To the person talking about carrying a firearm for safety, while that may be the solution for you, I know many people who wouldn't feel any safer around you because of said firearm, I know many people who experience abuse are not comfortable with carrying or owning a firearm, there are other ways to defend yourseld that don't involve an automated weapon.
3. To all the women, men and nonbinary people who relate to this game (much like myself) I am sorry you had to go through the hell and paranoia that comes with it, know that you are not alone in your fight and that you are strong.
Truly. Being a woman is scary so it’s nice to know one of my biggest role models is there to help
I hate the fact that so many women relate to this game
Wholesome and Manly dudes appreciate that stalking is something to speak out against, and be prepared for :) Mark's a good guy
People in general dude. Most of the men (and women) in my family get stalked like this, headlines still go to women for reason I don't understand. @@you_are_being_judged
Genuinely I never thought about knowing where hospitals, fire departments and police stations are. I guess I always assumed I’d have a phone to find them.
Mark has the exactly accurate attitude of a young woman being harassed by men and it's genuinely so funny
The Mark Zuckerberg jump scare caught me so off guard 😂
The most unsettling type of horror is when the villain is just a guy. Just a real person who could actually be doing all of the terrible things they are doing.
fun fact, literally all bad people are people, it could be literally anybody, there is no easy or simple distinction to be made from who it is, and what they do. They are completely unrelated.
And before anyone goes on about how serial killers kill animals, make NO assumptions about anyone and the likelihood you end up dead in a hole that nobody knows the location of is going to be less.
This is so true
Something probably happening to hundreds if not thousands for real as we watch this. A different kind of scary than demons and ghosts. Stay safe everyone 🖤
Evil doesn't always have a scary face. If that was the case, then you could easily identify and avoid them.
What's on the outside doesn't always reflect what's on the inside.
Wttg series has a group of guys like that
I appreciate Markplier actually explaining what to do when you’re being chased by someone, he’s a real one
Agreed - besides just being a good idea to know where emergency services are located near you, it's always a good idea to have options on deck for scary situations like that. I'd heard that advice as a teenager back when cell phones were still fairly uncommon, but it still holds true today!
Also, if you're being stalked, please report it! Even if the cops can't do anything or don't take you seriously, getting a paper trail started is important!
Yep
Made me really happy that he shed light to that information
It is good advice but won't work well if the stalker has authority over those institutions.
So if the stalker is a cop and works high up, you may be out of luck at the police station.
Just thought I should mention that.
Protip: When being chased don't do what Mark does and panic and scream while running all over the place.
This game PERFECTLY captures the feeling of "every man is a danger to me"
14:47 this is why I hate big houses. There is so much room for no reason at all, and so many things could be hidden that aren't supposed to be in there. My opinion, just get a small little house, the less hiding places the better.
Grandpa being revealed as a serial killer but family man who hunts down Liam and strings up in his basement would honestly have been a great twist
Sadly, I feel like, even if the authour had tried something like that, they would have taken it too far and made Grandpa into the one who hired Liam to stalk his granddaughter in the first place, just to give her an excuse to go out to his murder mansion.
Does that make any sense? No, but I find that people who make these games always try to go for maximum shock value, even at the cost of common sense.
honestly, the real twist would have been if grandpa was the stalker the whole time. *pulls off liam mask* "it was me the whole time"

@@plaintoast3407 and ANOTHER radiator
Especially the radiators.... God, NOT THE RADIATORS 😆
Gramps is having a fun time down there i guess…
So a few things I am learning about Kate from this game.
1. They are extremely gullible and have very little survival knowledge.
2. They don't question anything.
3. They may or may not be an exhibitionist due to lack of curtains and clear windows leading directly to their bath tub.
This game feels like it's going to need a ton more work but also, man, that lady did absolutely EVERYTHING wrong that she could have done in a stalking situation. Like, lady, go to a police station immediately, don't go to an abandoned mansion in the middle of nowhere surrounded by creepy dudes.
15:56 "I EAT.. PEOPLE.... also I love my granddaughter" We love a supportive grandpa who looks out for his grandkids. Right after his compulsive cannibalism
E
that would be the best twist
An even BETTER twist would be if the ending involved her Grandpa capturing and eating the obsessive/abusive ex-boyfriend, or maybe if the boyfriend was part of a cannibal cult that functioned as a metaphor for patriarchy? Idk they still all seem like great twists.@@wicked_awesome
@@EEEEEEEE I agree.
Let's hope he never mixes his love for human flesh with his love for his granddaughter.
I'm desensitized to most jump scares at this point but holy shit, that stranger just suddenly running up to Mark in the parking lot got me. Goddamn. 💀
And the first one
I jumped in my chair, it terrified the hell out of me lol
I don't normally make a sound when I see a jumpscare in these games, especially not when Mark is playing them, but that was the first in a while to actually make me cry out, even for a brief moment. Like, I slightly started to scream, then immediately stopped after reminding myself that I was safe. Most of the time, I just tense up or flinch.
Me too, I yelped out loud and then laughed at myself for 3 minutes 😅 😂
I thought I would get a heart attack both times Liam showed up and when the stranger ran MC’s way at full speed… dear god.
You know, there's something to be said about the new 'genre' of horror just being that you are female living your life.
Omg fr
Petition for female developers to make a game called the "Being a woman simulator" and the game is just that. You encounter progressively creepier creeps (including the good guy creep) and you just try to do your thing without getting assaulted or killed.
right 😭😭
I personally don't have experience with that, but I doubt that your average day is spent being chased by your crazy ex
@@Ocoro_ youd be surprised .. and also its not only about the ex, they were talking about horror games like this in general where u really r just a woman existing and men r just being complete weirdos . in this game there were also enough men being weird to the mc so idk what youre trying to say here
10:30 to add to this, if you think someone is following you make 4 right turns. if they are still behind you then most definitely they are following you
To reiterate Mark's Fire Department, Police Station, Hospital advice: if you *ever* feel like you are in danger because of an individual following you, and you don't think you can get to one of those places: Grocery stores, Malls, libraries, even fast food places or, if desperate, a School. Places there are guaranteed to be at least a few people around, people who can help or call the police/an ambulance if you need help.
Do NOT go to an isolated location, a blind alley, a forest, an empty street, anywhere you'll be totally alone is a no-no if you feel like you're being followed, you want people around you, because a flash mob of strangers can stop a kidnapper or abuser as well as the closest group of freinds.
thank you
thank you
Yes. Never go home or to your car either. That just gives them more personal info.
Going off the grocery thing, i work in a grocery store. You give us a reason to throw hands with someone and half of us will barely wait for you to finish explaining the situation. Some customer stared at one of my coworkers through the stall door while she was just trying to use the restroom and three of us were ready to confront the lady once we found out.
this is good because i live closer to a school than anything else so it would be easiest to get to without a car
the closest fire station and hospital are both a 30 minute walk and the closest police station is a 1 hour walk whilst the closest school is about a 10-15 minute walk so a school or a neighbour would be better in some situations
"Step on a landmine. Please." Markiplier is a true ally

@@bear7990 but how?
@@unsureprobablymaybe3527 because he's telling creep men to f off
I honestly gasped and almost dropped my cup of coffee when that guy came out running to her in the parking lot, never got so scared from a horror game lol
Fun fact! There are actually portable radiators that don't need to be hooked up to the wall (I know, my grandpa also had one)..... 16:13 I'm referencing this part btw
And adding to Mark’s “know where your local police station and hospital are.” It’s a good idea to research those if you’re traveling, especially if you’re traveling alone
It's good to be safe
And especially if Liam is your BF.
I feel what would also be helpful is maybe any public place so you can maybe have them call the police too
But what if all the police had skeletons inside them?
Stalking aside it's real nice that this woman can just jump from multi million dollar home to multi million dollar home so freely I'm definitely rooting for her
no exactly i was here like go girlboss!!
Grandpa's obviously got generational wealth
exactly like hell yeah girl boss you go
You're suggesting she isn't deserving of safety because she's wealthy?
@@miayoung8679 Read the original comment and say that again
14:13 I love the way she's like it's fine imma sleep without lights
22:02 the second the lights weren't turning on I'd be calling my grandpa after getting back in my car and driving away post haste
I love that Mark's response to unsolicited creeps is "I hope your aorta explodes" and "step on a landmine... please :)"
Never have I heard a more relatable line from Mark than "Step on a landmine...PLEASE"
I laughed so hard when he said that 😂
"I hope your aorta explodes" 💀
That got a good laugh out of me 😂
I don't know why the "Little did I know, I was dating a champion Shot Putter." line made me laugh so much. 😂
I haven't laughed in months and that had me crying. Especially liam showing up
The guy running up to you outside the convenience store made me jolt so hard. That's the first jumpscare in a while that's actually made me jump properly
Through environmental storytelling, we can only assume that the grandpa is really some sort ancient hell creature masquerading as a family patriarch who still doesn't quite have the best grasp on how humans work.
True that may be, he clearly does still care about his pseudo-granddaughter, given that he lets her come to his house to be away from Liam for a while. Being a demon he likely doesn't need it, but the sentiment is nice.
@@LizLuvsCupcakes the sentiment was indeed nice, but his haunted basement full of restraints and coffins was probably a less helpful place to send her than say a police station. He forgot a human wouldn't find that comforting.
"Need three coffins! It's good to be prepared :D👍"
I love all of you guys 💞
The grandpa only said he bought the house and by the way he said it I'm guessing he doesn't live anywhere near it. He sounds like he's some rich property mogul or someone rich enough to have multiple estates. So we can't assume he was the one using it. He might never have even stepped foot in the place.
it's funny how you can immediately tell when a stalked woman was written by someone who is not a woman solely by the questionable decisions the character makes 😭😭
Or perhaps someone who has not been stalked
sits in parking lot, while being chased, with her lights on, and her doors unlocked
and then drives out to an empty mansion in the middle of the woods, doesn't appear to lock any of the doors, gets a creepy message from a stranger and just. stays. twice.
@@Willisoutforblood "my ex is stalking me and throwing things through my windows... I should get a sip of water before leaving though!"
I mean it's a horror game. Both men and women tend to make questionable decisions in Horror games and movies.
I think the strangest part of every horror game is that almost no one has any weapons, especially for a person this rich who should have at least a tazer right?

i love how she called her grandpa instead of 911. and he was so nonchalant too
he was 🤣
Judging from the basement I think Grandpa would rather not have police involved
Kate being on her phone, talking about going somewhere Liam can’t find her, with the door unlocked, and assume the windows not being very soundproof… wow, I sure wonder how he ends up finding her. Totally safe place to go, alone, while being stalked.
At least the basement in the abandoned mansion she goes to isn’t all set up for detaining and torturing humans…
@@PaullyDreTotally not set up for holding a prisoner for an indefinite timespan.
For real, this is a distressing mix of "That's horrible and you don't deserve this, holy shit, I can't imagine how I'd act in the same situation" and "A guy breaks into your house, and you sit in your parked car, _with the doors unlocked_ as you refuse to look anywhere but directly at your phone?! GET OUT OF THERE AND _THEN_ CALL FOR HELP, YOU IDIOT."
I'm really torn on this protagonist because like half of me knows that, if this was realistically a person I'd been dating for awhile (regardless of them being "toxic" like she mentioned), I'd probably also assume they weren't *absolutely batshit crazy* and would leave me alone if just I skipped town for a bit....
But at the same time, you should've called the cops on his ass the second he threw a fucking rock through your window?!!! Going to an abandoned murder mansion on your own and not questioning any of the sketchy shit going on around you?? Like can we get a molecule of common sense?
@@Tyriad_ - the really unfortunate part is knowing that in a lot of cases, the one getting a rock through their window _does just that_ -- and then _the cops let the stalker go because they don't see any reason to detain them._

13:30 Tbh all those hook is common for hunters when they hang dead animals to let the blood drain

As a woman who was stalked after a break up, I can confirm it's terrifying.
Right? Like, having some serious flashbacks right now.

@@user-kz9zi7rv9pwhat, by turning yourself into the police station? I don’t think it would be at all helpful to a stalker to hear that people who know you’re committing crimes against them would go to the police station, fire department, or a hospital, where you’d either get caught or be unable to do anything.
I love watching Mark play horror games that have a "To be continued" ending cause he gets so mad 😂
I wish a game like this would try to be more realistic, i actually think it'd be lot more scary if it was. like instead of retreating to an abandoned desolate mansion in the woods and calling no one (lol) imagine a game where you're trying to go about your life while being clearly stalked by an increasingly violent ex. calling the police often, staying with friends and family here and there but being ultimately ignored and eventually hopeless since he hasn't done anything TOO illegal. the cops really can't really do too much about stalkers until they do something violent. the buildup, stress and frustration would make for a good horror game
That was actually more suspenseful and scary then a lot of other games. And I loved that the character just ignores all the horrible things in the basement.

It often feels like horror content depends on its characters making the dumbest decisions to create their creepy scenarios.
Why a lot of the best horror is reliant on both the antagonist and protagonist being extremely smart and clever.
Right? Watching the dialogue in the convenience store like in real life you just lie about not being alone it's not really complicated lol

To be fair... that jump scare in the parking lot is pretty accurate to how it feels as a woman when a strange man approaches you out of nowhere. 😂 Very realistic in its atmosphere.

I can confirm Mark's reaction to that creep's commentary is exactly what we women think every time a creep approaches us like that lmao. "I hope your aorta explodes" and "step on a land mine" are especially accurate 😂 also this protagonist has virtually zero survival instincts
That guy running up after the convenience store was probably one the the hardest jumpscares I have experienced since watching Mark.. Holy.. Shit. I peed a little and kicked my desk so hard.. I think I broke my pinky toe.
omg SAME! i never and i mean NEVER get startled by jumpscares and that one made me jump and yelp out loud 😭
@taterloohoo @katelync712 SAME I guess I just felt at ease cause we were out of the store by then
Ikr that was the hardest jumpscare I've ever had
white man jumpscare
Got me too.
“Step on a landmine”
Perfectly sums up how most people feel if they get hit on lol
Another good piece of advice, if you can't find a police station, fire station, or hospital and you happen by a busy gym, go in there for help. They can call emergency services, and your coward stalker won't follow you into a gym full of gym bros.
what if my stalker has simply illustrious pecs? how will he stop himself from using his massive arms to completely annihilate all the gym twinks? what if his omega-swole body is just too much to handle? what then, huh?
Y'know having a Grandpa that lets you stay at his suspicious abandoned mansion is great and all, but the first thing that anyone should do in this scenario is GO TO THE POLICE STATION [and call them on the way there]. Gotta love the good ol' horror protagonist with half a brain cell.
And keep going to different departments if they don’t do anything or tell you not to worry, it’s a really problematic thing and with video games(other than this one bc it shows how bad it is) and shows/movies/books show how it’s “romantic” and people view it as such but stalking becomes really scary and dangerous like this game shows, but if your ever being stalked, take evidence, document EVERYTHING, take pictures of them being at the same place you are, take pics of their car at the same place you are, any letters or gifts they send you, keep and document all, tell friends and family too so they know what’s up if something happens and you have to leave your house and like I said in the beginning go to the police but if the department you go to dosent take you seriously keep going to different departments until someone does
At the restaurant I worked, some homeless guy came in one night and started doing coke in one of the booths. We were maybe 15 at the time, and we phoned the police. They told us someone would be over soon. No-one ever came. The police are fucking useless and will probably see you as something preventing them from going home and having dinner.
Yea and if the police do nothing then at least go to stay with a family member or friend instead of staying all by yourself
for real. 911 does not exist for this girl.
the police will definitely do something. What the stalker did is breaking and entering and if he has a weapon attempted murder with notes and evidence of stalking as a proof of malicious intent. but whatever horror movie/game protagonist logic i guess
Mark may not be pregnant, but he always delivers.

20:55 I find this moment to be quite relatable, for every time I see a woman holding groceries in the parking lot, I too phase through my car door and bolt towards her
have you tried just saying hello instead
@@lilacpenguin5329 nah, where is the fun at that?
@@jhina4m464 said it better than I ever could
Reminds me of the Distractible animation with Bob's romance story with his crush at the movie theater.
the strangers coming to you saying "you shouldn't be alone" or "I will walk you home so nothing bad happens to you" are the most creepy people I'm meeting whenever i go back home at night. Most of them want to be nice and probably are good people, but still always giving weird vibes
Its so horrible that some of the weirdos rely on the fact that you believe in good people so they can take advantage of that fact, and therefore women can't trust any other man with actual good intentions and the good men have now lower chance at proving there are good people out there
@@bainy8742 thats why you just ignore them and go your own way dont be a creep by asking if they need help

As a victim of stalking, this game really hit the scare/creep factor for me 😅 If that was just a demo, I can’t imagine what the full release will be like
I'm not gonna lie, this game has made me jump more than any other horror game Markiplier has played. I can watch his FNAF videos without getting scared, but this video made me jolt back with its jumpscares.
Just a reminder: If you can't or don't know where the nearest police, fire, or hospital is but you do have a secondary location to hide at, always let someone you trust know your location or better yet have that person come with you and have first responders on the phone at the ready. As soon as you suspect something, call and describe the situation they will most likely send someone out to check around the area. Please stay safe, I've alr lost someone to a similar situation I don't want anyone else to go through that as well.
I’m sorry for your loss :(
Not trying to use your horrific situation to push anything, but this should all just go further to prove the point of staying strapped at all times.
@@thesonofmalice1999"not trying to use this to push anything" but you literally are lol
@@thesonofmalice1999 yes let’s give all the potential stalkers guns too that will surely not result in violence toward innocents
@@humanbean4037stalkers with violent intent will get guns whether it’s legal or not. Legality ensures good citizens can protect themselves.
I love that Mark is more concerned about the grandfather than the stalker now.
'THAT'S INFINITELY MORE CONCERNING' 🤣🤣
I mean I would be more concerned about my grandpa too if I would find the.. stuff in his basement... in an empty mansion.. in a forest... with my ex boyfriend stalking me
dude the 1st jumpescare caught me so off guard i havent been scared like that in a long time
20:56 ZOOM IN ON HIS FACE AND WAIT FOR THE JUMPSCARE, I SWEAR IT'LL BE WORTH IT🤣
This was so painful to watch, but seeing all the dumb decisions Kate made boosts my confidence in surviving such a scenario.
Great thing about a lot of horror is that you know exactly what NOT to do.
But it also has this feeling of helplessness as your character just makes things worse for themselves.
Fr.... she sees the brick in the window, and she's like "I better leave now." And then AT THE DOOR, "Actually lemme get water first"😂😂😂😂 like girl.....
@@Tacocat227I understand hydration is important but there is a time and place for it
Kate be like:
Call the police❌
Call her grandpa✅
I was so annoyed that she didn’t even give it a thought 😭
I like how at first the main character seems to have reasonable ideas, such as immediately deciding to leave as soon as Liam throws a brick through her window.
BUT THEN does a complete 180 in reasonable actions!
First she doesn't lock the door to her car in the middle of nowhere. Then she calls a family member for help to stay at a house where NO ONE lives instead of going to the police or at least going to someone's house where there are people to protect you.
But hey. The game has a lot of potential. Can't wait to see future updates.
I’m just glad he plays these scary games so I don’t have too they give me the actual chills😂
Guys, my name is Liam, so hearing Mark say my name like he broke up with me is NOT something I expected to witness today.
Bruh
i would never recover
Sounds like he gave you up. Let you down.
Our name is pretty uncommon to hear, I think out of my entire life up to this point I’ve only ever heard someone else being called Liam 4 times.
oh dude i know it's wild lollll
I feel like it would add a lot to the game to have the main character call the cops but they're just dismissive or something. It would make it feel more like she really has no other options instead of that she's just making bad decisions all the time...
“I hope your aorta explodes” and “step on a landline please” are new comebacks I’ll be adding to my lexicon lol
The discomfort I felt in the 18:41 conversation made me excited that this was going to become “creepy people simulator”, where every person you come into contact with is a different flavor of creepy: a stalker ex, a stranger who asks way too many private questions, people who catcall, people who immediately ask you out then go into a fit of rage, people who already know your personal details through internet stalking, etc.
I love when mark says “step on a landmine” after the stranger says “I have wishes but I think it’s best left unsaid” lolll
I love how horror characters live in houses with huge ass windows and no curtains 💀
Other people: “Think of all that natural light during the day and lower electricity bill” 😍🥰
Me: “Y’all are just asking to be robbed”
Omg yes I hate those houses, also the bathroom in the first house was… interesting
istg every time i'm watching a horror gameplay while eating, it's always when I'm biting or drinking something jumpscares suddenly appear
Why does the main character tell everybody she’s new, that is rule number one to say that, they’ve never been to a place or don’t know where they are and they’re never supposed to say they’re alone
Considering the number of videos Mark had begun with 'So I'm in the hospital again,' he knows exactly where his local emergency landmarks are.
10:59 the way he wheezed “basement” in disbelief of the poor decisions the protagonist has made thus far 👌
I've watched up to 14:06 and I am convinced that it wasn't our so called "grandpa", but rather the ex or someone even worse.
I've watched alot of scary game play but the scene where Liam pops up from behind the counter was by far the scariest. Like imagine being home alone and this man pops up from behind the counter 😭. Heart attack immediately 😐
I expected to jump but I started flailing my entire body when that happened 😭
NO SERIOUSLY. IT SENT ME INTO A MILD PANIC ATTACK FOR A MINUTE I HAD TO PAUSE. LOOOLLL
I no joke threw my phone when that happened. I'm normally not bothered by junpscares by holy shit that was amazing 💀😭
I love how these people in video games just suddenly appear out of places you'd literally have to teleport to.
I ACTUALLY SHREAKED 😰😂 my worst nightmare living alone
ngl when she first called grandpa instead of the cops i wondered if it was some sort of mafia/hit man thing where he’d “take care” of liam for her… and after seeing the basement i’m not sure that was wrong. i’m eager to see if we get an explanation…
That would be a reasonable explanation! But not locking car doors and staying in the parking lot with lights fucking on is still a mystery
17:10 I never new Mark was such an amazing singer
4:26 "Either my home is above an empty void of nothingness, or... I'm.. *_a pie?"_*
Marks responses to being approached by a man in a parking lot are spot on 👌

yeah, good to see someone aware of the dangers of sitting in a parking lot with your doors open or unlocked, too many people do stuff like that without thinking about it
Okay, but that guy charged at Mark 😂

@@jameswent48🤓🤓🤓
i love mark having to break out dad-iplier and educate about locking your door 9:36
It makes sense that a man owned it.
I literally screamed out lout at 21:46, and my roommates upstairs were like "what is wrong with you why are you screaming?"
