I love how simple yet meaningful the story is. This family grew up in the mountains, when they were older the girl fell in love with the neighbor girl and they went traveling together. The son became a businessman that destroyed the mountains they grew up in and polluted the water. He eventually found this out and did his best to stop it. Then the parents get older and don't see their kids for a while until they come to visit with the grandkids. Then finally the grandpa passed away from a heart attack and it draws the family closer together; the silver lining in tragedy. And it's because of this closeness that the grandma is able to live happily without her husband and is able to move past the grief. The yarn represents the Thread of Life, the bonds that connect us, and the patches are like the knots or memories that binds us.
+StonnedFoxx I had a feeling the memories were related to each individual member of the family because after you finished certain levels, more of the family photo would appear next to the photo album.
"Love forms bonds, like strands of yarn. Like yarn those bonds can be fragile, or get all tangled. But when they are kept and cared for, they can bridge any distance." Loved how well this game was put up, so perfect. After the sad scene there was a change in atmosphere to make it more calm and relaxing again, so, so good. Thanks for playing cry.
I really like Cry's fanbase and Cry himself. Not only are all we all chill but I haven't seen any hate comments ever in Cry's comment section. And if there is, we kinda ignore them and shrug them away. It's always a nice channel to come by and hang out when you're tired and had a hard day.
That part where Yarny is pulling the lantern through the horrible blizzard and trembling from the cold was HEARTWRENCHING to watch...! D8> This whole episode was an emotional rollercoaster. From the sad freezing winter part to the beautifully warm and comforting spring scene. I have never seen a game with this much heart and such attention to the little things. Thank you Cry, SO much, for giving us this experience.
37:20 This is absolutely how it feels when spring comes to Sweden. It's amazing how well this game captured the feel of Swedish nature. the feeling of freedom after 3-4 months of snow, rain and darkness. I hope spring is here in real life soon too. such a good playthrough Cry, keep up the good work.
If you miss it the bit at the end says this..... Love forms bonds like strands of yarn like yarn those bonds can be fragile or get all tangled but when they're kept and cared for they can bridge any distance
"You're you, and that's all you have to be for me. That's all I need you to be." Cry changed my views on a lot of things _by talking to a virtual not-canister._
I love Cryaotic's play throughs because he doesn't over do stuff, or over react! and he keeps calm games calm and beautiful, instead of shouting like markiplier, jacksepticeye and pewdiepie do. that's why I honestly love Cry's Playthroughs, and hope he continues makeing many more, as long as he enjoys it!
same! I was telling my boyfriend this yesterday that I prefer Cry's play throughs rather than the other youtubers. I also like that his voice doesn't over power the game's audio. like with Pewds I have to replay scenes because I can't hear what they're saying in the game xD
I really hope cry was able to see the last message in the scrapbook, because it was beautiful and tied everything together so well (haha, tied....yarn....ha jokes) but I'm sure he went back while editing it and read it. It was a beautiful little ending to an amazing game. The last message is - "Love forms bonds, like strands of yarn. Like yarn, those bonds can be fragile, or get all tangled. But when they're kept and cared for, they can bridge any distance."
+Anthony Morado You are the very first person that I have ever seen with Austin in his profile-pic! Also my first intention for replying, same here! It was so soothing and fun tu watch :(
ah this was an amazing game! i'm gonna keep it close to my heart, it was a masterpiece on every level - art, design, puzzles, soundtrack, graphics, filosofy, the message it gives - it even had lesbian representation! i hope it gets all the attention it deserves, one of the best games i've ever played, for sure!
The reason Cry said that he likes video games (that you don't focus on real life) is the same reason that I like Theater class. I can be someone else for a while.
Unfortunately since the book auto-scrolls through the credits at the end, most people miss the two passages that get added from finishing the last level. I figured I'd copy them here for people to see if they don't own the game themselves, especially since the last one is my favorite. "Last Leaf: The past can help you cope. It can be a strength and a solace. But if you can't let it go, it can drag you under." "Renewed: Every ending hides a new beginning. Life will toss and turn us, but it can only break us if we let it. It's always, always worth trying. Every time." Have a swell day, and great playthrough, Cry.
+LittlePanthery I have to admit: this game has the most atmospheric & beautiful snow storm level since the original Donkey Kong Country series on the SNES, & this means a lot!
“Love forms bonds, like strands of yarn. Like yarn, those bonds can be fragile, or get all tangled. But when they’re kept and cared for, they can bridge any distance.” What a beautiful game.
This was a fantastic game. You can tell the creators really put their hearts into it. I especially loved the little variations in gameplay through the levels, and overall it was just a great, zen experience to play and watch. And yea, I was that giddy at the last level too. :) Cry, it's so nice to have you back at it again. I missed your philosophical commentary. Thanks for all your editing streams too, I hope you'll do more of those. See ya in the next one!
After a horrible horrible day of anxiety and not-good-at-all things this was like a warm hug. Thank you for playing this amazing game and I hope you have a fantastic week Cry. Hoping you'll find more and more great things like this to share with us.
Loved this...especially that last quote: "Love forms bonds, like strands of yarn. Like yarn, those bonds can be fragile, or get all tangled. But when they're kept and cared for, they can fridge any distance." This was a very deep game, and I loved every freakin' minute of it.
Although the game was completely different, Unravel had the same chill vibe as Ori and the Blind Forest. You've made a wonderful return with a wonderful game playthrough, Cry!
this was honestly the most amazing gameplay ive ever seen, i probably commented this before but cry's voice and the game itself help so much with my anxiety, this game is absolutely beautiful and so calming i adore it, and as for cry's voice, it's so calming and smooth, it all fits together so well. i love this so much
"Love forms bonds, like strands of yarn. Like yarn, those bonds can be fragile, or get all tangled. But when they're kept and cared for, they can bridge any distance." a beautiful message from a beautiful game
This morning we had to say goodbye to an old friend of ours - our pet rat, Atla, had gotten too ill, and had to be put to sleep. We've both, me and my wife, been a bit heartbroken all day. This, this helped. Cry, you do good in the world, keep doing. Also, you should play Tales of Zestiria, because it's anime AF, and you'd love it. It also has awesome music.
Thank you for playing this, Cry. I lost my grandparents last year and have since then been struggling with depression and grief. I had never lost someone so close to me and dear to my heart before, and no matter how much I reminded myself that they wouldn't be around forever, it still hurt like hell. I wasn't expecting this to hit so close to home. But I am thankful all the same. I'm still going through a dark time in my life, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Things are going to be okay.
What a beautiful, charming game. I'd love to be able to play it myself eventually. This LP has been my cozy little happy place for the last several days. Thank you, Cry.
beautiful. there have been a lot of games that caught my attention, fewer that captivated me so and this is the rare one that told hold of my heart and didn't let go.
Well That's it And I am happy It left me with a warm feeling in my heart Even though the story of the game is a little unclear to me,I loved everything about it Simple yet beautiful♡ Thank you so much playing it Cry,I appreciate it Love you lots,sending you lots of hugs xx
It would mean a lot if someone did a compilation of all the times Cry went off on a tangent in his commentary because holy crap, dude--it's too precious and hilarious. It would be a very long series of videos, but I'd watch 'em all. Anyway, this was a very sweet game! Nice and chill.
What a lovely experience this was. I was crying in the end, and I didn't know why, I guess it's mostly because of all the philosophies of life running through my head. What a great game. Thank you for playing it, Cry! It was awesome to watch.
What's this? Passion and dedication to a project? Actual effort? Rare thing to see these days. Now I feel bad for being a freebooter and not playing the game for myself. Darn.
I love the artwork slideshows at the end of the videos recently. I hope that Cry keeps it up; so many fans put artwork out there of the game, and it should be seen. Beautiful game, beautiful art.
Like Ori and the Blind Forest, this was a Cry playthrough that was just so beautiful. I love this game, and the zen way I can just sit back and watch. Dude, my mom is all into that crocheting stuff, Imma make myself a Yarny! Oh, also, I have a list of people I'm gonna follow on Tumblr now, thanks for that Cry. XD This was a wonderful experience, looking forward to the next one. :)
ikr! it starts chill then it gets tough then it gets dark & cold then it has this really beautiful final sequence full of magic then it gives us a beautiful and satisfying ending
I would think it was my string of fate and that I would find that special someone on the other side ... I would follow all that yarn for sure... Also! I just love hearing you ramble Cry XD Good job on another beautiful Let's Play !!!
Being a Swede and seeing this got close to my heart. The man reminded me of my late father, the game itself being like a balm to the wound. I wish I could say that no one close to you will eventually leave this world but I'd be lying. You can never be prepared for it either. Cherish those you love, and make memories to last.
I love how he showcases the extra artwork at the end of title cards he couldn't use like imagine your art being in a video created by someone with 2 million plus subscribers like if that was me I would be dying if that many people saw my art.
I don't know it made me cry, I don't know why, the visuals or the music or all of the massages or Cry making the whole thing so chill, enjoyable and even funny amazing gameplay Cry.
For those interested in a stand alone soundtrack for the game, be sure to let the creators know in any way you can. The last I heard from the official Twitter account is that there aren't currently plans for an official release but that they are listening to feedback so I suppose we have to make noise to get noise in a way.
Really astonishing game, it stole my heart. And I really enjoyed all the random things you were saying while playing it. Nice one with the fanarts at the end, they were amazing.
God, what a beautiful game. Everything about it was just perfect, and I love the ending. I love that it managed to have such a moving story without having to resort to cliches or over-the-top storylines. I feel like hugging my parents right now, but it's the middle of the night.
I love this game play. Cry does an amazing job. But the game itself tells us something. Life is magical. Cry hinted at it when we found out the old man had a heartattack. But it also showed us the magic in life. In a place where there is only death, surrounded by a season most consider it's sibling, Yarny was saved. He found the Last Leaf and was saved from the snowy death that kept trying to kill him. He was brought back in spring, the season of life and rebirth. And then the orbs that were possibly all of the memories he gathered on his journey helping him move to safety. Yarny represents love (because he was so devoted to finding the memories and secrets of the family and refreshing them) and in the end, there are the orbs continuing their help to you. It just proves that love is magical and life is a cycle. While a final leaf may be seen in winter, that doesn't mean that it's the final leaf to ever happen. One will always be reborn
Thank you for adding fanart to the end of your videos. As an artist, I've never drawn you shit, but seeing that you take the time to appreciate it sure as hell makes me want to. Which is not to say other lets-players don't appreciate their fanart, but you take the time to incorperate it into the media that made us want to draw for you in the first place, and that means a lot to us artists out there
I thought Cry of all people would realize the story was the old woman's life viewed just before she died. Luckily for her, she had family to treasure her heart and keep it close to their own after she fell for the last time.
I don't necessarily think that's how the ending has to be interpreted. Different people will see different things in the clues provided. To me, it seemed like she lost half her heart when her husband died, but all the wonderful memories and her family being there for her mended it :) As you can see when Yarny falls and unravels in the snow, what gets picked up by children (most likely her grandchildren) is a much stronger, sturdier rope. A reliable bond. Then all the memories Yarny collected carry him and the lost half of the heart back to the house, all helping to get over the loss. And in the end, all her family is there, the grandchildren play outside, and the fragile, tangled bonds (her children moving far away after the ecologic desaster, rarely writing letters back home, etc.) became reliable to the point where they help her deal with the loss :) "When the bonds are kept and cared for they can bridge any distance" So even when her family can't visit everyday, as long as they are close in feeling she will be alright. What would be the point if she had died in the end? A dead person is gone, they have no feelings since they don't exist anymore. What would bonds matter if she was gone in the end? But you are free to believe whatever you want. Like I said, everyone can interpret it the way they think is right. So don't call Cry out for not thinking the way you do.
I hope Cry makes more playthroughs like this. The tranquility along with Crys humour just makes it feel calming and peaceful and funny at the same time, best kind of playthrough if you ask me.
I always come watch your videos when I'm having a bad day or feeling down because your sense of humor makes me laugh/chuckle no matter what mood I'm in. So far it's been about 3 years and I still come back for updates. Thank you for being so consistent!
I don't think I've ever seen a game with as much of a genuine feel to it as Unravel. What a beautiful and heartfelt game. I really hope it sees the success it deserves. I think I'm gonna go knit myself a Yarney.
Honestly don't think a game has ever gotten me to cry this heavily, ever. Unravel has this gift of bringing back your long lost memories, and in doing so brought me equal amounts of happiness and soul shattering sadness. Thank you Cry, for playing this, means the world to me that you did.
thanks so much for putting the other thumbnails at the end of your vid, thats honestly super sweet of you and makes me want to draw you more. ur wonderful
I really appreciate how you showed all the art at the end cry. Really that must mean the world to people. Great series dude, first one I've seen in a long while, so thanks for that!
I loved this series so much, especially being that you were the one to play it. There's something about you that makes watching you play something so amazing. I love your videos Cry, hope you do more stuff like this
You know, even though I feel that Unravel is just another puzzle game with good graphics; the story was pretty good. It's nothing intense, it's nothing surprising, but it does give you the feels. So gameplay-wise I'd say 5/10, just a puzzle game. Story was definitely nice though, 8/10 because I can appreciate the simplicity of it and the harsh reality of life it presents. Art/atmosphere was definitely a solid 10 though.
What an absolutely phenomenal game. I've seldom seen anything as beautiful as this. It just made me want to move to the Swedish woodlands and retire there. And the music. Seriously, the musicians of this game should just get back together and make more albums once this soundtrack is released. Some of the most atmospheric and relaxing folk music I've ever heard, it was top notch.
This series has been amazing and I also loved how you made the last part longer and let it end with the fanart (this made it less abrupt and easier to say goodbye to). I'm really excited about what you're going to play next. Love your style and how you appreciate the things I appreciate (there aren't a lot of gamers or even people that I can relate to in that way).
When Cry was in awe it was just so cute omg. Also I know he didn't sneeze in this video but I binged sooo yeah you know your manners on point when Cry sneezes in a video and you still say bless you.
+Alexander Greyling It's probably connected to that idea, but the creators said the red yarn is supposed to represent the love that binds us together! In a way, it's a similar idea.
+Rebecca Aker Well most people say that the red string of fate brought them together. AKA the red string let them meet and like date or whatever. If that makes sense? Maybe?
I felt very emotional seeing the pictures throughout this game, to me it felt like I was looking through someone's memories that perhaps has dementia. Unravelling all their memories and nostalgia. Incredible.
CrotaroLP yeah our langueges are a lot alike. like hospital. in dutch it is ziekenhuis witch litteral translation is house of the ill and in german it is krankenhaus... am i correct?
I absolutely loved the game. The music, the atmosphere, the art. Hope to see games with a similar feel in the near future, because this really was beautiful.
I appreciate you. Honestly you're my favourite youtuber by far. Thank you for showing us these beautiful games and taking us along for the ride. I also just love your commentary when you don't even try. As silly as it sounds, you often make my day. Thanks Cry
I haven't genuinely enjoyed watching a playthrough for quite a long time. Thank you for the experience Cry. That was a very long and emotional story with a nice heartwarming ending! Absolutely LOVED the scenery and the soundtrack. I kind of want my own little Yarny now. Haha.

+Pir8forever A very strong and intelligent interpretation/analysis of the game's story. I would agree with you 100%. Well done and well thought out.
thanks for putting that ^
I would zone out time to time (due to cry's so relaxing play through) and was hard for me to follow the story.
+StonnedFoxx I had a feeling the memories were related to each individual member of the family because after you finished certain levels, more of the family photo would appear next to the photo album.
+Pir8forever Goodness. Way to make me cry again. Thanks for that I guess?
+Pir8forever I thought maybe it had something to do with dementia or Alzheimer's Disease, but this analysis makes sense.
*waits forever to read*
cry: "love forms bonds"
*page flips*
cry: oh god, its gone.
That's how he do.
"Love forms bonds, like strands of yarn.
Like yarn those bonds can be fragile, or get all tangled.
But when they are kept and cared for, they can bridge any distance."
Loved how well this game was put up, so perfect. After the sad scene there was a change in atmosphere to make it more calm and relaxing again, so, so good. Thanks for playing cry.
that's really beautiful thanks for playing cry
Well, I think it was about how even after her husband died she had her kids and grandkids to mend her broken heart.
I really like Cry's fanbase and Cry himself. Not only are all we all chill but I haven't seen any hate comments ever in Cry's comment section. And if there is, we kinda ignore them and shrug them away. It's always a nice channel to come by and hang out when you're tired and had a hard day.
I hate you!
+Paiton G That's so true! Cry is just that amazing, how could anyone hate him? He's the cutest thing ever :)
+Kurai ChanZ Do you want a virtual hug. Looks like you had a tough day.
Lol I was joking, people can't seem to get that online. Don't take everything so literally, just ruins the joke
Oops, I'm usually bad at detecting sarcasm.
Cry: "And they'll get to the news report"
Deep voice: "It's snowin'"
Cry: "It's like 'Why'?"
Deep voice: "It's Sweden"
That part where Yarny is pulling the lantern through the horrible blizzard and trembling from the cold was HEARTWRENCHING to watch...! D8> This whole episode was an emotional rollercoaster. From the sad freezing winter part to the beautifully warm and comforting spring scene. I have never seen a game with this much heart and such attention to the little things.
Thank you Cry, SO much, for giving us this experience.
100% agreed on that. Thank you Cry for this experience
/yarny falls and unravels into the snow/
Cry: /gentle gasp/
37:20 This is absolutely how it feels when spring comes to Sweden. It's amazing how well this game captured the feel of Swedish nature. the feeling of freedom after 3-4 months of snow, rain and darkness. I hope spring is here in real life soon too.
such a good playthrough Cry, keep up the good work.
All of them vitsippor :)
If you miss it the bit at the end says this.....

Dats almost as deep as the bags underneath my eyes from watching cry all night
+Ash DeVash I enjoy this comment.
"You're you, and that's all you have to be for me.
That's all I need you to be."
Cry changed my views on a lot of things
_by talking to a virtual not-canister._

It's the beauty of Cry's videos
Agreed, kind stranger. Agreed.
+May rose That's so true. I wish more people were of the same mind set as you.
callum Jordan-Barr I'm glad you like my mindset. But yes. Agreed
same! I was telling my boyfriend this yesterday that I prefer Cry's play throughs rather than the other youtubers. I also like that his voice doesn't over power the game's audio. like with Pewds I have to replay scenes because I can't hear what they're saying in the game xD

"Props to you, who makes words happen; Well done"
- Cry, 2016
Aww man I'm going to miss Cry playing this game :(
+Anthony Morado You are the very first person that I have ever seen with Austin in his profile-pic!
Also my first intention for replying, same here! It was so soothing and fun tu watch :(
my father died of a heart attack recently. It was nice to hear Cry rant on heart attacks.
sorry to hear that man. my condolences
+BellyThat Productions I'm sorry for your loss, I hope things get better for you!
+BellyThat Productions I am sorry for your loss :( I hope you'll be okay!
ah this was an amazing game! i'm gonna keep it close to my heart, it was a masterpiece on every level - art, design, puzzles, soundtrack, graphics, filosofy, the message it gives - it even had lesbian representation! i hope it gets all the attention it deserves, one of the best games i've ever played, for sure!
Eve english isnt my first language :-)
+Lawlliets _ you're great at it though!
Hannah Gerry haahah thanks! i speak it fluently but sometimes there are some silly mistakes there
Lawlliets _ well that would happen to anybody. Including native speakers like me XD
All the artwork at the end was so good and cute ^^
This was a beautiful series. Thank you Cry.
"Love forms a bond.... oh god it's gone"
why i'm giggling over this??
The reason Cry said that he likes video games (that you don't focus on real life) is the same reason that I like Theater class. I can be someone else for a while.
Unfortunately since the book auto-scrolls through the credits at the end, most people miss the two passages that get added from finishing the last level. I figured I'd copy them here for people to see if they don't own the game themselves, especially since the last one is my favorite.
"Last Leaf:
The past can help you cope. It can be a
strength and a solace. But if you can't
let it go, it can drag you under."
"Renewed:
Every ending hides a new beginning.
Life will toss and turn us, but it can
only break us if we let it. It's always,
always worth trying. Every time."
Have a swell day, and great playthrough, Cry.
Cry: Love forms bonds...
*Page flips*
Cry: Oh god it's gone!
I LOVE THIS GAME ! its so perfect and cute and such art and cry's voice is so smooth and perfect with that game ;_; omg
Agreed
+LittlePanthery I have to admit: this game has the most atmospheric & beautiful snow storm level since the original Donkey Kong Country series on the SNES, & this means a lot!
“Love forms bonds, like strands of yarn.
Like yarn, those bonds can be fragile, or get all tangled.
But when they’re kept and cared for, they can bridge any distance.”
What a beautiful game.
37:26 who else sighed with relief that Yarny didn't die?
Well I would of if I haven't already knew this by reading your comment xD.
This was a fantastic game. You can tell the creators really put their hearts into it. I especially loved the little variations in gameplay through the levels, and overall it was just a great, zen experience to play and watch. And yea, I was that giddy at the last level too. :)
Cry, it's so nice to have you back at it again. I missed your philosophical commentary. Thanks for all your editing streams too, I hope you'll do more of those. See ya in the next one!
42:28 thank you some punkrock kid you are the hero we need
A flower, a fish, a mosquito, a butterfly, a railroad, a spider, a bird, a snowflake, and finally, a heart of two halves.
Yeah it's very awesome with the symbols
After a horrible horrible day of anxiety and not-good-at-all things this was like a warm hug. Thank you for playing this amazing game and I hope you have a fantastic week Cry. Hoping you'll find more and more great things like this to share with us.
This series unravelled beautifully
Loved this...especially that last quote: "Love forms bonds, like strands of yarn. Like yarn, those bonds can be fragile, or get all tangled. But when they're kept and cared for, they can fridge any distance." This was a very deep game, and I loved every freakin' minute of it.
This has been a pleasure to follow you Cry, on this journey. Thank you for playing this.
Although the game was completely different, Unravel had the same chill vibe as Ori and the Blind Forest. You've made a wonderful return with a wonderful game playthrough, Cry!
What a cute game played by an even cuter person, thanks Cry
Cry's "So long buddy" Made me cry, before the video started..
+Brady Harrington If it made you Cry, go make awesome, emotional playthroughs with an amazing voice right now!
this was honestly the most amazing gameplay ive ever seen, i probably commented this before but cry's voice and the game itself help so much with my anxiety, this game is absolutely beautiful and so calming i adore it, and as for cry's voice, it's so calming and smooth, it all fits together so well. i love this so much
Cry: this is a really heavy snowfall
*Canadians screaming in the distance with anguish *
"Love forms bonds, like strands of yarn.
Like yarn, those bonds can be fragile, or get all tangled.
But when they're kept and cared for, they can bridge any distance."
a beautiful message from a beautiful game
This morning we had to say goodbye to an old friend of ours - our pet rat, Atla, had gotten too ill, and had to be put to sleep. We've both, me and my wife, been a bit heartbroken all day. This, this helped. Cry, you do good in the world, keep doing.
Also, you should play Tales of Zestiria, because it's anime AF, and you'd love it. It also has awesome music.
Thank you for playing this, Cry.
I lost my grandparents last year and have since then been struggling with depression and grief. I had never lost someone so close to me and dear to my heart before, and no matter how much I reminded myself that they wouldn't be around forever, it still hurt like hell.
I wasn't expecting this to hit so close to home.
But I am thankful all the same.
I'm still going through a dark time in my life, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Things are going to be okay.
Yalawala
may I ask you about an idea
Thanks Cry, you always know how to present a game at its best.
What a beautiful, charming game. I'd love to be able to play it myself eventually. This LP has been my cozy little happy place for the last several days. Thank you, Cry.
beautiful. there have been a lot of games that caught my attention, fewer that captivated me so and this is the rare one that told hold of my heart and didn't let go.
Well
That's it
And I am happy
It left me with a warm feeling in my heart
Even though the story of the game is a little unclear to me,I loved everything about it
Simple yet beautiful♡
Thank you so much playing it Cry,I appreciate it
Love you lots,sending you lots of hugs xx
Cry's little "wow" in 38:40 is the most adorable thing ever
"Some punkrock kid - for lending Matin yarn that time."
Just refreshed and there it is. 60 seconds in someone already disliked. The internet is a sad place
+ILikeBleachItsTrue How is there already a dislike? I don't get it
Perhaps they don't like the fact that it ended
+ILikeBleachItsTrue there are people that you just can't dislike their videos... and cry is one of them
I don't really get why people even give a fuck about some damn dislikes
+ILikeBleachItsTrue probably someone who hated cry for playing the same let's play and getting more fame.... that's my 2 cents.
It would mean a lot if someone did a compilation of all the times Cry went off on a tangent in his commentary because holy crap, dude--it's too precious and hilarious. It would be a very long series of videos, but I'd watch 'em all.
Anyway, this was a very sweet game! Nice and chill.
What a lovely experience this was. I was crying in the end, and I didn't know why, I guess it's mostly because of all the philosophies of life running through my head. What a great game.
Thank you for playing it, Cry! It was awesome to watch.
What's this? Passion and dedication to a project? Actual effort? Rare thing to see these days. Now I feel bad for being a freebooter and not playing the game for myself. Darn.
I love the artwork slideshows at the end of the videos recently. I hope that Cry keeps it up; so many fans put artwork out there of the game, and it should be seen. Beautiful game, beautiful art.
Like Ori and the Blind Forest, this was a Cry playthrough that was just so beautiful. I love this game, and the zen way I can just sit back and watch. Dude, my mom is all into that crocheting stuff, Imma make myself a Yarny!
Oh, also, I have a list of people I'm gonna follow on Tumblr now, thanks for that Cry. XD
This was a wonderful experience, looking forward to the next one. :)
Is it just me or is this game similar to Journey? Like it has the same feeling right?
right?
+Vilonure Read the hero with a thousand faces
I see it as a happy version of limbo lol
Yeah, I thought about that too earlier! Another great game.
ikr! it starts chill then it gets tough then it gets dark & cold then it has this really beautiful final sequence full of magic then it gives us a beautiful and satisfying ending
Really lovin' how you add fanart at the end of games. You have no idea how much that means to a fan/artist.
Damn, this game is so adorable. And it had such a lovely message. This was super well made.
I would think it was my string of fate and that I would find that special someone on the other side ...
I would follow all that yarn for sure...
Also! I just love hearing you ramble Cry XD
Good job on another beautiful Let's Play !!!
Being a Swede and seeing this got close to my heart. The man reminded me of my late father, the game itself being like a balm to the wound. I wish I could say that no one close to you will eventually leave this world but I'd be lying. You can never be prepared for it either. Cherish those you love, and make memories to last.
I love how he showcases the extra artwork at the end of title cards he couldn't use like imagine your art being in a video created by someone with 2 million plus subscribers like if that was me I would be dying if that many people saw my art.
I don't know it made me cry, I don't know why, the visuals or the music or all of the massages or Cry making the whole thing so chill, enjoyable and even funny amazing gameplay Cry.
I cried at the end of this. It was really beautiful.
I cried too omg
+Alyss Bradford Still crying...
+Alyss Bradford lol everyone on the feels train
For those interested in a stand alone soundtrack for the game, be sure to let the creators know in any way you can. The last I heard from the official Twitter account is that there aren't currently plans for an official release but that they are listening to feedback so I suppose we have to make noise to get noise in a way.
great game. this was very emotional and symbolic. 10/10
Really astonishing game, it stole my heart. And I really enjoyed all the random things you were saying while playing it.
Nice one with the fanarts at the end, they were amazing.
You know EA helped produce this game. While I'm not a big fan of them as a company, they did good in helping this company produce a masterpiece
This was an amazing gameplay, such a calming music, beautiful story and such a pretty comentary
@ 1:42 roll credits
Ding!
I just came from there! Yesssss!
You've done a good thing today.
Huh? Whats with 1:42?
+Myra Mae F. Iban I think it's because he says "and then we gotta *unravel* this".
God, what a beautiful game. Everything about it was just perfect, and I love the ending. I love that it managed to have such a moving story without having to resort to cliches or over-the-top storylines.
I feel like hugging my parents right now, but it's the middle of the night.
I love this game play. Cry does an amazing job. But the game itself tells us something. Life is magical. Cry hinted at it when we found out the old man had a heartattack. But it also showed us the magic in life. In a place where there is only death, surrounded by a season most consider it's sibling, Yarny was saved. He found the Last Leaf and was saved from the snowy death that kept trying to kill him. He was brought back in spring, the season of life and rebirth. And then the orbs that were possibly all of the memories he gathered on his journey helping him move to safety. Yarny represents love (because he was so devoted to finding the memories and secrets of the family and refreshing them) and in the end, there are the orbs continuing their help to you. It just proves that love is magical and life is a cycle. While a final leaf may be seen in winter, that doesn't mean that it's the final leaf to ever happen. One will always be reborn

so long as balance is maintained and existence kept safe and healthy
Thank you for adding fanart to the end of your videos. As an artist, I've never drawn you shit, but seeing that you take the time to appreciate it sure as hell makes me want to. Which is not to say other lets-players don't appreciate their fanart, but you take the time to incorperate it into the media that made us want to draw for you in the first place, and that means a lot to us artists out there
I thought Cry of all people would realize the story was the old woman's life viewed just before she died. Luckily for her, she had family to treasure her heart and keep it close to their own after she fell for the last time.
Good to know
Good to know
I don't necessarily think that's how the ending has to be interpreted. Different people will see different things in the clues provided. To me, it seemed like she lost half her heart when her husband died, but all the wonderful memories and her family being there for her mended it :)
As you can see when Yarny falls and unravels in the snow, what gets picked up by children (most likely her grandchildren) is a much stronger, sturdier rope. A reliable bond. Then all the memories Yarny collected carry him and the lost half of the heart back to the house, all helping to get over the loss. And in the end, all her family is there, the grandchildren play outside, and the fragile, tangled bonds (her children moving far away after the ecologic desaster, rarely writing letters back home, etc.) became reliable to the point where they help her deal with the loss :)
"When the bonds are kept and cared for they can bridge any distance"
So even when her family can't visit everyday, as long as they are close in feeling she will be alright.
What would be the point if she had died in the end? A dead person is gone, they have no feelings since they don't exist anymore. What would bonds matter if she was gone in the end? But you are free to believe whatever you want. Like I said, everyone can interpret it the way they think is right. So don't call Cry out for not thinking the way you do.
I hope Cry makes more playthroughs like this. The tranquility along with Crys humour just makes it feel calming and peaceful and funny at the same time, best kind of playthrough if you ask me.
That last quote was so good. This game is so great!
I always come watch your videos when I'm having a bad day or feeling down because your sense of humor makes me laugh/chuckle no matter what mood I'm in. So far it's been about 3 years and I still come back for updates. Thank you for being so consistent!
the ending for some reason made me cry cus the music was just so pretty ;-;
I don't think I've ever seen a game with as much of a genuine feel to it as Unravel. What a beautiful and heartfelt game. I really hope it sees the success it deserves.
I think I'm gonna go knit myself a Yarney.
So, I was nearly crying throughout the snow portion of Last Leaf
Honestly don't think a game has ever gotten me to cry this heavily, ever. Unravel has this gift of bringing back your long lost memories, and in doing so brought me equal amounts of happiness and soul shattering sadness. Thank you Cry, for playing this, means the world to me that you did.
"some punkrock kid--- for lending martin yarn that time." awesome
thanks so much for putting the other thumbnails at the end of your vid, thats honestly super sweet of you and makes me want to draw you more. ur wonderful
Oh god me too. It's heart warming to see all those artist appreciated. Thanks cry :)
'it's snowing'
'why'
'it's Sweden'
'oh'
I really appreciate how you showed all the art at the end cry. Really that must mean the world to people. Great series dude, first one I've seen in a long while, so thanks for that!
Thank you for playing this game. It was so pretty to look at and calming :3
I loved this series so much, especially being that you were the one to play it. There's something about you that makes watching you play something so amazing. I love your videos Cry, hope you do more stuff like this
You know, even though I feel that Unravel is just another puzzle game with good graphics; the story was pretty good. It's nothing intense, it's nothing surprising, but it does give you the feels. So gameplay-wise I'd say 5/10, just a puzzle game. Story was definitely nice though, 8/10 because I can appreciate the simplicity of it and the harsh reality of life it presents. Art/atmosphere was definitely a solid 10 though.
I think it's the perfect game for getting other people into video games.
What an absolutely phenomenal game. I've seldom seen anything as beautiful as this. It just made me want to move to the Swedish woodlands and retire there.
And the music. Seriously, the musicians of this game should just get back together and make more albums once this soundtrack is released. Some of the most atmospheric and relaxing folk music I've ever heard, it was top notch.
Cry has a voice that makes me question my sexuality. *lol*
Don't worry. At one time or another we've all wanted to sex up Cry...I'm gonna pretend I didn't say that. 😅 😰
Kakasakufangirl
*lol* Thanks for making me laugh, though!
Akiva Daphydd No problem. Just don't mention this to Cry. 😘
Kakasakufangirl
Hope he doesn't read his comments! *lol*
+Akiva Daphydd We all know he does...^^
This series has been amazing and I also loved how you made the last part longer and let it end with the fanart (this made it less abrupt and easier to say goodbye to). I'm really excited about what you're going to play next. Love your style and how you appreciate the things I appreciate (there aren't a lot of gamers or even people that I can relate to in that way).
Cry is healing, Yarny is healing, the whole game is healing.
I feel better now. :)
When Cry was in awe it was just so cute omg. Also I know he didn't sneeze in this video but I binged sooo yeah you know your manners on point when Cry sneezes in a video and you still say bless you.
You know how they say people are conected by a red string?
+Alexander Greyling The red string of fate.
Rockybalboa2k10MSP
Yep. I wanted to point this out, because this game makes me wonder if the color choice was coincidental to this or not
+Alexander Greyling It's probably connected to that idea, but the creators said the red yarn is supposed to represent the love that binds us together! In a way, it's a similar idea.
Rebecca Aker
Ok, so yeah it wasnt a coincidence -w- thanks!
+Rebecca Aker Well most people say that the red string of fate brought them together. AKA the red string let them meet and like date or whatever. If that makes sense? Maybe?
I felt very emotional seeing the pictures throughout this game, to me it felt like I was looking through someone's memories that perhaps has dementia. Unravelling all their memories and nostalgia. Incredible.
in the netherlands a flashlight is called a zaklamp. It litteraly translates to pocket lamp. just a little fyi
+a , yes? Because in Germany a flashlight is called a Taschenlampe which also translates to pocket lamp ^_^
CrotaroLP yeah our langueges are a lot alike. like hospital. in dutch it is ziekenhuis witch litteral translation is house of the ill and in german it is krankenhaus... am i correct?
+a I speak a little german and yes you are ^^. BTW it's the same in Hungary, zseblámpa translates to pocket lamp.
Cool things to know, this :D
I absolutely loved the game. The music, the atmosphere, the art.
Hope to see games with a similar feel in the near future, because this really was beautiful.
Special thanks to
Some Punk Rock Kid - for lending Martin yarn that time
lol
I appreciate you. Honestly you're my favourite youtuber by far. Thank you for showing us these beautiful games and taking us along for the ride. I also just love your commentary when you don't even try. As silly as it sounds, you often make my day. Thanks Cry
I loved it, such a relaxing game
I haven't genuinely enjoyed watching a playthrough for quite a long time. Thank you for the experience Cry. That was a very long and emotional story with a nice heartwarming ending! Absolutely LOVED the scenery and the soundtrack. I kind of want my own little Yarny now. Haha.
If you love unravels music then you'll love Journeys
Those lights you can hold onto are most likely Will-o-the-wisps.
Watching a cry video in my cry shirt and my cry pants eating food out of my cry lunchbox with my cry beanie.
Can you tell I don't care for cry?
+Kates Dogs can i steal all of ur things?
You forgot your cry underwear, cry socks, cry hat, cry doll, and actual cry. You are a disgrace to the Cry fan base.
+Optymystical cry socks? why would you use cry in such a disgusting way
+Little Firefly hisss
+Optymystical I'm sorry sensei ;-;
