Yea And does crikens screen look low. Like the game looks Like IT was lovered because i think there Are supposed to be subtitles but i dont see them And i can only see half the skull when they are loading the game. Im just at the start
@@matijasostojic4288 Yeah for some reason a huge portion of the top part of the the screen and a little off the bottom and the sides are clearly being cut off like it's zoomed in. There's more mystery to this vid than the game
My genuinely favourite parts of these games is when the characters actually fight back against centuries old demons and spirits and win, making the spirits quite ineffectual. Tomato is over here playing the "Little Hope" JRPG and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Same, just watched House of Ashes and realized Tomat had played all of them with Crik, and went to watch them in chronological order - and this one is REAL shit... even compared to Medan...
Putting a 'jumpscare' into the scene where he shoots himself is real tasteless, considering the psychological/emotional aspect is about the only thing this game had going for it.
During the game, I wish they would've gotten rid of the ol' timey stuff. Now, I wish that was the story. That the families of these characters have been forever cursed after these witch trials, and every century or so they are reincarnated to relive the horror or atone/fin out the truth. After Paranormal it's a little cliche, but still.
*Spoiler* You would think the boyfriend would have moved on after so many years not to mention all he lost was his girlfriend and Andrew lost his whole family.
I hate the whole "mental illness was the killer!" type shit, it's such a cop-out, and it's always proposed as a 'realistic' ending when it has no basis in reality
Well mental illness can kill. It's like a poison that slowly kills your mind. Usually stems from childhood trauma or other PTSD from later in life. Some people can deal with it while others can't. Most don't get help so most end up fucked up in one way or another.
@@thaoster209 People who think mental health killers in movies and games don't really suffer from it or know they suffer with it for them to say something so ignorant as the OP's message lol.
@@cruxmind what you just said made no sense. No, they don't suffer from mental illness because the characters aren't real. And what I'm saying is that the portrayal of mental illness in media is often sensationalized to the point of being rediculous.
This narrative idea is neat, but it doesn't work. You'd need to create a story where you have the two players in both time lines, flipping back and forth, sharing their information... trying to figure out what time line they are in/is real. (Think of it almost like a multiple personality illness with hallucinations.) with the game ending based on how you and the other player choose. When in reality you're in the modern day and based on how you act determines your ending. (Mental hospital, freedom, or on the electric chair.) with the character being aware based on how much you've come to understand on both worlds while if you accept only one you'll be hallucinating even as you die. It is relatable to even those who don't have illnesses like these as finding the truth from the lies is near impossible even in daily life and we do need help from others to discern it.
But multiple personality disorder doesn't exactly work like that though, that doesn't match its symptoms much at all. And I don't see why freedom is separate from the mental hospital, psychiatric ward and professional help can actually be good for patients. Asylums and other archaic institutions however, are not. And the electric chair would only be available for serious criminals, and the mentally ill are more likely to be a victim of crime than the perpetrator according to statistics and studies.
I wonder if he'll ever do a "Mute Lee" playthrough of Telltale's The Walking Dead Season 1. They 100% made it so a mute playthrough works and makes sense, it's actually pretty cool. Though it's wierd how terrible every other season was considering how good 1 was. Or at least I assume every other season will be terrible, 2 was so bad I never touched the series again.
@@themeatlord2415 I never said Criken HAS played TWD. I said that since he likes this whole "choose to say nothing" bit he would like Season 1 of TWD because they made it so, with a very small number of exceptions, you can play through the game saying nothing and actually have characters respond to it in ways that seem right.
@@DarknessInferno15 Any game I play that has the option to disable optional letterboxing IMMEDATLY gets that shit turned off, honestly its so annoying its on the same level as having film grain or motion blur. I get that video game director's still look up to film as the higher medium but I don't really see why.
Hey really love your content this is amazing. What is your preferred editing software you use for filmmaking, I'd love to have a conversation and maybe even collaborate on different methods in telling stories through video !
This game sucks. Illusion of choice filled this game. The story feels so disjointed, I know these two didn't "play it right" but if the options are in the game it shouldn't ruin the story structure. So many weird cuts, too many crappy jump scares, and a cop out ending. You can save the imaginary friends? That's just ridiculous. It goes completely against everything these devs have done in the past, no real consequences. If you get the ending these two got, why would you ever wanna play it again? You know the characters aren't real.
@@nope-qi8zx its _fine_ i suppose. its like a cheesy syfy b-movie, i would never say you should actually pay for it or even deliberately take time out of your day to play it, but if it is all i had i wouldn't turn up my nose at it (thankfully i have an entire steam library though, so i will never play it again).
Kinda sucks that Supermassive has only made one good game and I enjoyed Until Dawn a lot cause it actually had a good twist from thinking it was going to be a boring slasher game to having wendigos. That and the gameplay was a lot more fun than this.
I guess i chose the wrong video to watch the story of this game, i gave up on watching it when Criken and tomato clearly wouldn't stop doing shit on purpose or keep talking 24/7 making the dialogue basically mute. Im gonna watch someone else and come back later for shits and giggles, or i'll play the game myself.
that might be true in a game with good dialogue or story, but not here. there is absolutely no reason to be interested in this game, its not even the fun kind of bad either.

The best part about this vod is the constant distant interjections by tomato about how out of hand his side of the story is getting.
Criken is like having a stroll, exploring
While tomato "AAAAAHHHHH CRIIIIKEEEEN!!!"
Lol I love criken walking around and just in the distance you hear tomato screaming. Criiiiikeeeen!!!! aaaah!!!!!
“Oh he’s hung alright... let’s inspect.”
Criken 2020
“Ooh, I like that, that’s a good touch!”
Criken 2020
Nothing like a game built on making you own decisions that change the outcome of the story, just for the devs to hit you with a “it never mattered”
yeah, after this i am positive this anthology series will never tell a good story.
even worse than mess effect. they suffered worse than tell tale with linear sequences
@@comyuse9103 have you not met Salim?
@@queenofvermin House of Ashes was literally not in the womb when that comment was made
@@Nathrezim0 they haven't met Salim :)
37:30 Tomato calls Criken an idiot for running into the fire when he can't lower himself from the second floor without hanging himself. lol

Tomato and Criken are like cereal with milk
Alone they are good but together are great
Even better when the cereal is microwaved
@@fawkespryde9183 GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE, DAVE!!!
4:07:06 I REALLY want to see Tamto's perspective, especially during the epic fight where John "ascends" to Level Die gamer.
Underappreciated God Hand reference
Tomato and Criken talking about “meat pipes” is the real horror.
I can't believe she's gone...
She was only one away.
“Can you imagine we were playing these guys in a failing marriage? That would suck” says Criken. Then It Takes Two won game of the year
Man, revisiting this one after House of Ashes was surprisingly okay-ish really makes it clear just how awful this one genuinely is.
Same, just watched House of Ashes and realized Tomat had played all of them with Crik, and went to watch them in chronological order - and this one is REAL shit... even compared to Medan...
House of ashes was genuinely pretty awesome and compelling!
I wish tomato's perspective was on youtube 😭
Okay-ish? Really? I thought it was awesome. Come on, man. It had real monsters, Jason’s character arc, and Salim.
@@railenherman6482 I mean compared to Little Hope it was a goddamn masterpiece, I'll give you that. Salim is goat for real though.
I love how they both just start ganging up on the NPCs
Taylor... can't belive she's gone.....
Dude I can't believe she's gone...
Poor Taylor... I can’t believe she’s gone
angela was too powerful so they had to banish her from the game in the shadow sewers to contain her
Putting a 'jumpscare' into the scene where he shoots himself is real tasteless, considering the psychological/emotional aspect is about the only thing this game had going for it.
Only happens if you get the absolute worst ending
more criken and tomato please. They are perfect together. Thank you. Please.

Waited so long for you to play this game
Game at 14:26 but there is talking from the beginning so just wait.
Welp gotta rewatch this vod before they do the new one
Damn, wish i could see tomatos perspective
Ahhhh what is that song criken used for his alcohol break? The spooky video game esque music.
Mad Monster Mansion from Banjo Kazooie I believe :-)

I don't think it was ever meant to be multiple personality disorder. Seems like it was disassociation and hallucinations more akin to severe PTSD.
@@daboss640 a very fantastical version of it, at best. Weird decision if they wanted to use it to ground the story.
at the start of the game:
tomato: 'these skas and personalities don't matter and have no relevance to the story at all'
ha
1:26:10 In the background.
you can almost see the part where the gang stops giving a shit about the story and just bullying the NPCs
Wait... where the heck is Tomato's pov of this game? Seems nowhere to be found over on his vod channel... weird...
samne cant find it, were you able to find it?
The only character they managed to "save" is John and they still fucked it up because of their obsession with Mary xD
I really enjoyed Man of Medan, but Holy hell was the ending of little hope so bad. "It was all a dream", how dare you....
This game looked like it had a really good concept going, but then they hit you with another "It's not real". What a shame
Oh I love this game, who better than mr Crik himself
I didn’t predict the ending with this one tbh so i was happy with this game

Nothing. It's how the game is, basically think of it as a letterbox effect.

It's fucked on the bottom it's fucked on the right side it's just fucked in general
It really looks like Criken just fucked the recording up and nobody pointed it out? Don't think the game botched this one.

The say nothing but made this hard to watch
Tanya's is so annoying

Jeez, Tomato is obnoxious

It's insanely hard to watch when your conversation is overshadowing the games dialouge.
Then why arent you watching a no commentary playthrough? You're in the wrong place.
that might be true in a game with good dialogue or story, but not here. there is absolutely no reason to be interested in this game, its not even the fun kind of bad either.
