Hard not to play after this. Great video. Very touching story about your mother. My dad was suspected to have cancer and I felt this "shrinking" you mentioned. Thankfully, the diagnostic was negative. Just found out about your channel, and I've to say I love this kind of content. Love the quality content.

Great review!

Fictional fear becomes far less effective when real life terrifying experiences have already taken you to the very limits of horror Take it from someone who knows

The end of this really hit me, especially since I'm sitting here listening to this while playing valhiem to escape my depression

Me: *reads title* Me: didn’t we all know that??

His watchtime was not fine

I really dont find it so, its harc to explain but like, yeah you feel wat hed and there is tension but i focused more on the dialogues

Happy birthday!!

Amazing video, i hope u get to make a video game someday

2:45 i audibly gasped and almost dropped my phone

Firewatch scared me like no other game

Have you guys never been camping before?

"No it's not" they said.....after 52 min of wasted time.

I don't think so. Because I played Firewatch and it was more like thriller and I wasn't scared at all. But it was a beautiful experience.

I said this to a friend who introduced me to Firewatch when it came out, and they looked at me like I was crazy. Glad to see some justification for how I felt about this amazing game.

We have birthday on same day! Also I always saw Firewatch as a horror game, love the coincidence!

I had never heard of the show "From" until this video, but I am immediately putting it on my tv once I finish up here! Thank you for bringing it up in your discussion about this game!!

oh no! anyways, last week

This was a very good video, I look forward to seeing more from you.

Love the ideas you bring to the table. I would definitely pay for a DLC of this caliber. Top notch concepts, my guy.

Have u ever played no man's sky I think it has such a unique way of telling a story and such an interesting one.

As a former chef of over 10+ years. Not using garlic?! Are you crazy?! Nice video dude.

please do more videos like this. this is awesome.

Ok as someone who said "No it's not"out loud just seconds before clicking the video your intro got me and from that alone I am going to watch the whole thing.

First time watching your channel and it’s one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. Good luck mate

My kid loves this game so much he named our dog Bucket >.<

masterpiece of a video

If I see Firewatch in the thumbnail or a title. I click. You can easily kidnap me with a Firewatch logo on the street with a string attached to it leading me to a white van.

yesssssss. to all of this.

I was watching this while doing an art piece. This was a great listen and it opened my eyes to things, this and the firewatch video were great. They have both opened my eyes so much.

3:49 I hope hes been sarcastic hes not helpin the british stereotype

44:49 when I played I had a different feeling after talking with Dalilah and the fire, and the end of the mystery sure there was that disappointment but I felt... ready. When I the headset off and went out of daliahs watchtower and met the helicopter I took a deep breath and pushed the button to "go home" because I felt (and I believe that Henry felt it too) like I was ready to face my problems

You should've added a content warning about the absolutely devastating emotional damage you caused with that "stop running away speech" 😭

I remember being 15 and my brother and I were watching a Let's Play of Firewatch together. I never finished that LP because it made me so unsettled that I didn't want to click play again, but like you say, the game never left my brain. I absolutely agree that it's a horror, and this video is such a great exploration of how and why! (I'm glad your mum got better <3 I hope she's doing okay now!!)

My favorite Horror movie is Aliens 1986 - 8.4 on IMBD That being said some might argue its just a Thiller movie. That being said Firewatch is for sure a Horror, the sense of unease you get as the story progresses until the crescendo or big reveal *chefs kiss*

heck yeah, good on your mum! I love your sense of humor sprinkled into very articulate and engaging narration, I'll be excited to see what else you're up to!

9:33 absolutely cooking

This game has the record of 'The game that made me the most paranoid' in my entire life. Genuinely terrified me.

it took me a while to watch this video, but i'm so happy i finally did. i've had it open as a tab for a while, and then yesterday when i wanted to watch it, i reached the first half minute before i saw the description. knew i had to go watch the beginner's guide first, and whoa. what an experience. it's a game i've been intersecting with a bunch the past many years, from it being recommended when i was watching presentable liberty videos, to seeing davey wreden on a stream with his brother, twitch streamer dougdoug, where he talked about the stanley parable, ultra deluxe, and also a bit about beginner's guide. the game woke a bunch of themes in me that i got to thinking about, but your video has added a depth of meaning to it all. a bit ironically so, i'll admit, the way our (everyone experiencing the game) interpretations of the game expand the fictional version of coda in each our own minds. i got here from your firewatch video, which i found because it was recommended at a time when i had been thinking about the game again for a little while. something about your way of presenting ideas is really compelling, and i feel like that video and this have been amazing mind cleanses - sometimes with video essays or anything similar, it can feel like i'm just going through the motions of consuming more content. but, your videos are really digestible. a nice grouping of ideas, where they might go on for a little ramble, but they have the space to settle. i don't know where i'll be tomorrow. i don't know where i'll be a year from now. not in school, despite your encouragement, but i know i'm never done learning. i've found more and more disadvantages the past few years of making a long term plan for my life and comparing myself to it. i've found the most happiness in things i could never have expected. so i've been trying to pursue my life one day at a time. maybe there's a grand meaning to all of this. but maybe, there's no meaning at all, and we just have to do what makes us happy in the moment. i don't think this video will revolutionize my life or completely upend it, but i do think it's another brick on the road i'm paving. we are all shaped by what we experience, and i'm glad to be experiencing the creativity you've put into this world :D

I am happy I watched this video and after sleeping am planning on binging the channel. Sub earned 👌

I was about 30-40mins into the game and already knew it was going to be creepy af of a game

2 months old Firewatch Video? OHHH i gonna dine fine tonight

At the section you talk about your mom being sick… I lost my father suddenly. You described the shrinking of the world quite aptly. I’m glad I had older coworkers and some friends who were there for me. I am still grieving so I think I’ll get back into video games and books/media this holiday. The monsters don’t go away though. As what one of my friend’s mom said “wherever you go, there you are”. Much like the protagonist trying to escape life.

Oh the beginners guide in like 10$, ill be back in a few

feels as though you’re inside my head with some of these videos, I absolutely love the beginners guide

Great video man, hope your channel takes off. Keep up the good work earned a sub in me.

nice Alan Wake reference

Can we apreciate that at 07:00 he found the lamp post... Much love from Germany
