When I saw that the creators of Detention were making this game I was raising my eyebrow like “really?” and then the scene at peach blossom village happened and I was like “ah.”
Hah, I've started playing this game knowing absolutely nothing about it, just that it's a very good metroidvania, and that scene... That was one hell of a feelings I got at that moment. And it's awesome
I started playing this game without knowing much and even after dealing with this boss, it never crossed my mind that "Horror Game Developers Made This Game". I realised this only when I saw the title and double checking the steam. I also realised that there are other signs of that in other parts of the game but here is the most clear signs.
@gamesinmyveins I was looking forward to the game... it seemed cute. Oh I was ignorant (also didn't know much about it) Thanks for the warning :D guess I'll pass on it
You forgot to show balloon enemies that turn into heads, also autoturrets that made of brain instead of lotus. eyes looked terrifying even in dream form. also boss background with her head, there were a lot of details.
A piece of Taiwanese cultural information. Lady Ethereal is especially creepy for us Taiwanese people is her overall theme is built around funeral. Stuff like when you first enter the Soulscape, the flower ring and the flower tower are both typical funeral decoration. And also the creepy photo in the Soulscape (it appears at the check point inside Soulscape platforming when you are covered with black background) Additionally, the dome shape structure for every Sol store their seal (including Yi), is also inspired from the traditional tomb structure.
Me too. I was so confused, so I check up my phone while I was keep going at the same direction. AND THAT DAMN SCREAMER APPEARED, jeez I dropped my phone and stare at the screen for some minutes*
Trivia: there was an interview and Red Candle said the whole process of making lady Ethereal part was so smooth (including the gameplay, art, bgm, etc.), while there might be so many discussions and editing when making other parts They’re really good at making horror games 😂😂
Just some spoilers: So the people in the background were the victims of her attempt at making a virtual reality, everything was going perfectly, however, it was too perfect, as the test subjects (the people behind her) went insane after going into the virtual reality since it was built so well they couldn’t differentiate it from reality, I think then ended up all committing suicide, hence the guilt and madness, since she blames their death on herself.
@@crimsonzone8984 no that’s not really a good analogy because in this case it was that the simulation was too perfect that the subjects went insane and committed suicide because they can’t accept reality.
The background change in Lady Ethereal's area is straight out of Monster Party. Old NES game that would also do this to you, start out in a happy and nice area that then slowly turns bloody and creepy. Not even a creepypasta thing, just one of the ways in which the game would scare you.
Monster Party was a fun game especially for its time. Sad we have to explain the classics to the generations who played games like Black Ops as their first game experience lol. As opposed to an Atari 2600 like my first experience was 😂.
you know when i watched the game playthrough and the room starts to loop and eventual jumpscare i was like: "fuck me, should've expected, should've expected such thing out of red candle of detention and devotion, fool!" the entire lady ethereal area just freaks me out and i dare not directly look at the screen man
This is what I need more of, horror elements in kid friendly games (and non horror games in general) I always have the assumption that something scary is going to happen, no matter what game I play
I like to argue that horror elements are not kid friendly for kid friendly games There are people crazy enough to blame games with guns, there's more than enough to try to sue you for that
@@IceHeartAlpha The Minecraft cave sounds and disks 11 & 13 are some of the creepiest things ever made in a kid friendly video game, yet nobody complains about it
Last time I was here I made a comment that I really wanted to play the game and now that I have (Only the "You Bastard!" achievement left) this shit still kind terrified me even though i already knew what was going to happen Lady Ethereal did not deserve any of the shit she went through BUT the music was a banger during the fight like holy shit that was music was awesome
They put her in stasis, and fed her dreams interlaced with nightmares, in order to run an simulation that could be weaponized, didn't they? That's so messed up. At first I felt bad for Goumang, now I feel equally as bad for Lady Ethereal; who was most likely an council member turned test subject... And it's most likely after the incident, the council weaponized the simulation by steadily feeding her dreams interlaced with nightmares... So when Yi showed up? She'd mentally break down at the right time to be weaponized.
This game looks so good, it gives me hollow knight vibes but horror with the atmosphere and similar game play??? (haven't played it yet) also I was glad to hear that other people thought the same. I wish it would come to gamepass so I can play it.
For a game that has cute animal like animation they have cannibalism, torture, gore and some really messed up lore. The protagonist himself Yi can be as vicious as his enemy.
So I'm not actually watching this, prefer not to be spoiled - but if I liked Ori and Hollow Knight, will I like Nine Sols? I don't mind horror elements, I don't go out of my way to play horror but it doesn't bother me
this is probably the creepiest event. The rest of the game is focusing on other stuff. It is very dialogue heavy, but I didn't mind it too much. The most of the characters are all driven by a well set motivation. Most of them you'll walk away from with consideration for what they were trying to be. The game is difficult, but after I understood patterns, some bosses I thought were really hard suddenly became easy. Getting the game's later abilities down gives you crazy advantages.
Just beat Lady Ethereal, was definitely a very cool section of the game and a very fun fight Took like an hour for it to click but once it did I got it almost perfect, full health bar left at the end
My first 10 minutes or whatever Damn, they got Patches'd What a cute little area What do you mean there's space tech Oh... Oh no... Omg its just like the Chicken Run anime
Dayum, did a bit of research. The devs made Detention and Devotion
Damn, really? No wonder!!
Next game: demotion
Wait. THOSE devs!devices!? Damn I loved devotion. That's awesome
Damn, these devs have range!
Devotion? Hell yeah!
When I saw that the creators of Detention were making this game I was raising my eyebrow like “really?”

You forgot the part where one of the bosses legs get chopped off and you can clearly see that the creator has some experience with gore.
They are prosthetic legs.
or yk, the very opening cutscene where yi has half his face torn off and all his internal organs out in the open.
Something tells me the devs are fans of Madoka Magica.
I couldn’t make the connection until I really thought about it.
Then I was like, “ohhh.. yeah.. the way the scene is set up huh?”
@@yachisanyeah
Ikr? 😂
It's starts of cute...then...trauma arrives with the most brutal way possible.

its OK. she just has big breasts. anyone could fall off for that, its not your fault.

The balloon head enemy sounds like a love letter to one of Junji Ito's stories.

The truth is
They really are horror game development
this section gives some undertale vibes ngl, the boss looks like Toriel and it's a general experiment gone wrong plot
The ticc cat is on a crazy trip...
This really is peak horror. They all turned into sonic.exe
0:44 Yes. Yes. Yes.
theres an easter egg mentioning their game “detention” after you give shuanshuan the VR thing

Just how this game looks I already want to play it
I don't know what was scarier, that first jumpscare or playing the section with semi-naked furries on the screen while there were people at home.

Thats supposed to be scary? We already have ten thousand creepypastas with "corrupted character with blood running out of their eyes". Gtfo lol
fine then. corrupted character with blood pouring out of their nose. take it or leave it.
Dont eat pasta in the hot springs please 😅
Its the context that makes it scary. Essentially lady ethereal is being a schizo and experiencing ptsd firsthand because she killed all of them
Pretty mediocre "horror."
