I'm honestly burnt out on the whole "one space many cycles" gimmick. It just feels like our time is being wasted with a single padded experience, supplemented by a ton of notes and half-baked puzzles, that is repeated over and over again. The dev did great with "Do You Copy?" which means they excel at shorter experiences. They did really well with the atmosphere too. This game was not their best showing. I'll be even more honest, I tuned out several times this video because the game just wasn't that compelling or engaging to me. This could have been a significantly shorter experience and benefitted from it without losing anything. If this reflects in the timestamps, then I'm sorry, I really did try to pay attention.) 1:33:51 Outro 1:34:17 Patrons

P.S: Sorry for putting these up waaay later than usual, it was a busy day today.

[@flaneurmarin]

i want you to know i appreciate the monument mythos reference

[@callumjames7854]

As someone who comes from the city of Leeds in England I must admit I got excited but then realised it was taking about something else.

[@GorgeousGeorge056]

I also thought it was talking about Leeds England

[@tommeakin1732]

I've only been there once to go to the Armouries, and for some reason I really liked the vibe of the place. But it's more likely you'll have a game dev based from Leeds making a game set in muricaland than you'll find a game even set in the UK lol

[@chicken9847]

same omgggg

[@Cocc0nuttt0]

my favorite online schizophrenic is from Leeds 😊

[@bosselotiscanon]

i'm stressed as shit right now and the way you analyze video game environments along with the tone/rhythm you speak with is uniquely calming, thank god for your upload schedule's timing

[@mudnarchist]

What's stressing you?

[@bosselotiscanon]

@@mudnarchist classes, primarily. i purchased a used textbook that i'd otherwise have to get overseas for nearly 100 dollars if i wanted it in mint condition, so i'm very concerned about it shipping in time for my weekly class and also i'm very concerned with pages potentially being ripped out even though i purchased it from a reputable seller and also it was listed as "good condition" (which, from said reputable seller, usually means "practically mint with a few scuff marks") and another concern of mine is potentially having the wrong edition because this textbook has had a few revisions over the years and a lot of websites mistakenly list the ISBN for the edition that i need for other incorrect editions. sure, i could order this textbook through my teacher as she offered to do it for me, but i've got terrible social anxiety and i'd have to meet with her in person to pick it up. the class is online only, but i don't think she's picked up on the fact that i'm like 19 while everyone else i'm taking this small class with is in their late 20s. and to make matters worse, i'm a really short and feminine sounding guy, so any brief interactions turn into this huge ordeal about how i sound and look with or without taking my relatively young age into account because people where i live are WAY too friendly. :( which, to close this off: i caught the librarian's upload between neurotically checking my order's tracking with fedex and biting my nails over the thought of interacting with another human being. this is a lot of word vomit over a textbook but thanks for welcoming me to rant online lol, it's a language class if you were curious

[@mudnarchist]

@@bosselotiscanon If it makes you feel any better, I have extreme anxiety and I wasn't able to focus on my classes in college. Not cuz I am feminine, but cuz I thought I was ugly. General stuff like that. Also textbooks are overpriced asf.

[@bosselotiscanon]

@@mudnarchist yeah, people really underestimate just how damn hard it is to exist in public sometimes. but i persevere!

[@hazzmati]

oh man

[@FiatUno2003]

Your update schedule is just perfect. It's raining a lot here and watching your videos while laying down comfortably on my bed is just awesome.

[@jc008titan]

Games like this with story being told by notes is so good for making me fall asleep while I watch your videos. I've fallen asleep 3 times since I started watching this, and this is the 4th time, when I finished watching all the video. It may be an annoying for you, but seeing you getting stressed out by stuff that makes no sense is so funny and calming. The dark atmosphere, the quiet place with a little bit of story related sounds, the rain, and the calming librarian voice reading the notes on top of those is the stuff that makes librarian videos be the best for fixing a VERY BAD sleeping schedule. I want to see more videos like these when I wanna sleep(gmod is fine i guess), but I need some horror games for entertainment, prefferably those where you get jumpscared and react.

[@henkdachief]

sometimes i fall asleep to a librarian video and then he wakes me up because he is screaming

[@79Bobola]

😂 me too

[@PersonaKing32]

My first time hearing him scream was in the haunted gmod maps video, like 2 and a half minutes in or something

[@MrsGordonFreeman]

I appreciate you taking your time with this game. I've seen other play throughs and they move way too fast and miss stuff or get too animated and it really takes from the immersion.

[@winter.archivist]

Im sad it didnt live up to the expectation of Do You Copy, but your covering of it certainly improved upon it. Can't wait for more content from our favorite horror archivist.

[@montypi1037]

I thought all those comments about the bread were so funny 28:03 - “Ooh. This game has interactive bread!” 37:51 - “Since we can’t interact with most things, I’m assuming that the bread is in some way significant. Like, can we eat it to find the wind-up key at the center of it or something?” 50:26 - “Maybe the bread has more secrets to reveal… No. It’s still just bread.” 1:08:05 - “‘I could probably dissolve something organic in there’- YES! Like BREAD! … Okay, I guess not like bread.” Also, that rant at 41:55 XD

[@wutaguy]

I love watching you play these indie horror games. Keep up the great work.

[@byard2354]

I love watching every game you play, your commentary is great lol

[@NonneinP]

I come across this channel randomly. I'm sold.

[@jamiebonczek8026]

Keep up the great videos man! Enjoy every video..

[@79Bobola]

I absolutely LOVED “Do you Copy”, but this game didn’t seem to live up to that. Irregardless, I enjoy watching you play and always look forward to new uploads 😊

[@Slimpicken]

Felt like an improvement to me honestly...

[@vicooficial]

Yeah, no matter how bad is the game, Librarian always delivers a superb experience!

[@HamazuraGOD]

​@@Slimpicken This was such an insane downgrade from Do You Copy that I've never been able to finish it. I actually even ended up forgetting about it entirely, when I clicked this and was reminded, I stopped watching.

[@Slimpicken]

@@HamazuraGOD i don't even remember typing my comment. I agree it sucks ass. Maybe the atmosphere was cool but the puzzles were executed god-awefully.

[@generatoralignmentdevalue]

We've had this weird weather lately where it's freakishly hot and sunny in the day, then we get a cool thunderstorm (rare here) right around my bedtime. This is the perfect thing to watch as I wait to see if the pattern repeats.

[@kptlt.phillipthomsen5973]

That kinda just sounds like regular summer weather, especially if you live down south Storms grow under the sun but only reach you when its already dark

[@liamhunter1197]

Another good, spooky game with a narrator who's good at making a cozy atmosphere. Nice work.

[@conorgarrett5893]

You just earned a new subscriber and also I didn’t know that do you copy has a sequel

[@vicooficial]

That's wasnt what i was expecting for a sequel of Do You Copy?. From that game i thought it was to be something like that hunting game that you played that ended up in you killing a humanoid with deer skull. But seems like the authors maybe thought that "bigfoot chasing" thematic was too trivial for a long-awaited sequel and decided to follow a different formula to make something that looks like an hybrid of Witch Hunt, From the Darkness (if you didnt said it was a sequel of Do You Copy? i would thought it was another game of same author), The Caretaker and I Remember This Dream. Sometimes the most "straight" and "boring" choices are the most appropriate ones.

[@TheBlueDragon86]

I was gonna say Liberty! So glad to see the crossover and glad I was introduced to your channel!

[@ohbabyitsaj]

i think you should definitly play bioshock if you havent already! its very dated but extremely creepy and comfy. right up your alley!

[@Wrixchanger]

Don't forget about "Night Shift at Lenny's Moths" another game from the grace wind mythos series

[@rondeelauralnaman5397]

Another daily hour with librarian ❤

[@thenoobbrothers0000]

it is talking about Micheal Leeds, if you investigated further when you played do you copy?, there is a news paper pinned to the wall talking about Micheal Leeds.

[@zanehalsey2421]

A murder mystery game! Both creepy (obviously), and a nice comfy roleplay.

[@TreWilder]

I'm 20 minutes in... And every time I see you peer through a gap in the wall, I instinctively cringe and look away. Suite 776 broke something in me.

[@TheLibrarianYT]

Oh god, don't remind me!

[@FranciumBoron]

​@@TheLibrarianYT **[Casually reminds you with malicious intent]**

[@BinaryBolias]

@@FranciumBoron **ahem** _So yeah Suite 776 was pretty cool, wasn't it?_

[@The_Vent_Goblin]

Have you ever played CONTROL? it's a bit long, but it's made by the same folks as Alan Wake and even set in the same universe

[@kameleon_rap]

Watching already! Have a great night!

[@classicaudioadventures]

As far as free games go I enjoyed playing this overall, but I mostly share your final thoughts, and I felt more invested in the story told by Do You Copy. Your commentary is on-point, as always.

[@generalelectricmotor9084]

Now we need a victims perspective game made by the same developers The should stumble upon an abandoned watchtower from "Do You Copy?"

[@deadlyadder2330]

"this game has interactive bread" i cant breathe dude

33:14 AND FADIN' FAST LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO LAST LONG!

[@thegratrix453]

man i'd love to see you play bramble the mountain king would be great with your commentary I think

[@PeterBee911]

1:24:34 Judging by the view, it is the exact same tower as in "Do you copy?".

[@am-180]

hi librarian- got a bit of a weird suggestion. have you heard of the custom DOOM map MyHouse? it might not sound like your kind of thing, but i think you'd find it more up your alley than one might expect at first glance. very surreal, exploration-based, and with some big house of leaves vibes, and such- its very much a narrative and atmospheric thing

[@paulhoward8300]

seconding this!

[@tactical_ghost54]

Can't wait to watch this tonight

[@bitnewt]

The bread never paid off :(

[@CramHuntsCryptids]

Leeds murder? As in the Leeds family of the Pine Barrens? As in...the home of the Leeds Devil? Color me intrigued

[@KefkeWren]

I don't know about this game, but Control definitely does share a universe with Alan Wake.

[@SkeleTonHammer]

I agree with you about notes. I feel like you can deliver a story through notes, but the notes need to be BELIEVABLE and they need to have realistic gaps in information that leave a lot to the imagination and leave interesting questions, and give you an opportunity to form a conclusion yourself. Basically, when the notes read like someone writing a note for a video game rather than someone actually writing a note that needed to be written it's a problem. Like, 90% of the time in a video game, notes serve literally no purpose in-world. Why did they write them? Who writes a random note that is paragraphs long, isn't a journal entry, and has no recipient? Why describe your master plan, how to undo it, and then call it a secret that must never be discovered and leave the note sitting in plain sight? It's definitely silly. A lot of times, storytellers have a problem "keeping it in their pants" metaphorically speaking. And as a dev, one thing that really bothers me is when a game that is note-heavy uses computer fonts for the handwriting. It's honestly a great and cheap effect to just handwrite your notes and scan them in a cheap printer and use that as a texture map for the note. Adds a lot of character and personality to the notes, and you can crowdsource them to your friends and family to get different handwriting for different characters.

[@loop827]

Mr Librarian I hope you're reading this. I made a comment on the Amanda the Adventurer vid about a part in the video that I would like you to see.

[@rick-deckard]

Cant wait for a Control playthrough! 💪💪

[@FranciumBoron]

I really loved _“Do You Copy?”._ I’m not too sure about this one, though.

[@anttitapio4145]

"Organic...YES, like BREAD!"

[@dargunsh7156]

There's a new note every minute or so, if this game is calling itself a detective horror game then any book is a cinematographic treasure-trove of detective storytelling

[@thefmx001]

any plans on playing any of the myst games ?

[@bosselotiscanon]

seconded, i would love to see that on this channel

[@sleepythemis]

Oh man I was wondering why Gracewind sounded so familiar, Do You Copy is one of my favorite short horror experiences.

[@FranciumBoron]

Yeah. Too bad this one just was nowhere near as good as the first one.

[@Car_man_2]

I was watching this like window slats my hand on my face

you should play oxenfree

[@Plain_Observer]

idk what its about but i remember it being creepy for some reason

[@O_2og]

this felt like there was no play testing by anyone other then the dev

[@Sm-iw2vh]

I was so gutted with this, genuinely gutted, “do you copy” was so simple and yet so creative. This….abomination is just like the other million “horror” games behind and after it. The notes are interminable and take away any atmosphere. The puzzles (Ughh puzzles) glitchy and obtuse. The setting is great but that’s about it. What a waste. What a shame. This game will fall into obscurity as it rightly should. 1/10

[@D0ASKE]

that office gave me flashbacks to the horrors of vr sex videos

[@yolobrush2374]

Hello

[@supernovaitup]

This game doesn't even work as a murder mystery. For a title like "The Leeds Murder" you'd expect Leeds to be an important person in the story, or at least have some sort of unraveling mystery that evolves as you uncover clues. The entire framing device of being a P.I. and investigating a missing person is entirely unneeded. Might as well have you be some random hiker stumbling on this cabin.

[@Kidobhuan]

[@Cole_1]

hi

[@RealUnreal-yh5bw]

Too much reading notes.

[@SteackDeLamasticot]

Too many notes for such a short game, killed the vibe for me, much better when its told swat 4 style.

[@dargunsh7156]

I'm honestly tired of seeing notes after notes as a tool to create world building

[@NotMorganFreeman.]

It's a method too many indie horror game developers use too often, and it starts to become tiresome reading note after note.

[@kabuki7038]

Horror game devs need to understand that you should ONLY have "spook" sounds when something is happening. If your game involves a fair bit of exploration and puzzle solving it ruins the vibe when you have a stinger because it feels like something is about to crash through the door.

[@droughty666]

Adventure/point and click/ mystery game with retarded leaps of logic? Say it ain't so. It's good to see someone not ingrained in the genre point out it's many faults. If you didn't like this kind of crap, do yourself a favor and don't play anything point&click/mystery from 2000~ and before, you'll give yourself an aneurysm.

[@mothmantra6289]

Im so confused by the ending lmfao. There was a lake monster who could do time loops and a witch (?) and the witch was trapped (?) and the monster wanted you to let her out...? Or the monster was trapped? And then there was the monster in the woods...and also this started because someone went missing and i dont know how that was dealt with either. You just kind of leave lmfao. Man this game kind of sucked idk

[@GhoulGhoul-yw9cf]

early!

[@bojidarivanovv8678]

This game is so disappointing
