[@Sandw1chTurtle]

this is a certified the coolest game mechanic in a long time moment

[@sunbleachedangel]

Possibly ever? Looks like coding fucking nightmare tho

[@bryanoliver6375]

Yea and true

[@frendlyleaf6187]

4:14 This is single-handedly the best reveal for a simulation in a game I've ever seen.

[@uninable]

reminds me a lot of that one part in Superliminal

[@Mushboom37]

i think Prey does a really cool one also, but honestly this one's sweet too

[@szabolcstiger2290]

@@uninable Yes, Superliminal was inspired by this game's tech demo

4:59 Editing the face on the hand sanitizer machine is such a good gag. I almost thought it was just part of the game until Tyler didn't react to it at all.

[@aidenwallin3523]

You just broke my brain. I thought it was part of the game!

[@anonymoususer188]

Wait, that wasn't part of the game? I thought that Tyler just either didn't notice or didn't care enough to react. Now I have to find someone else's playthrough to double check.

[@goop9086]

I thought it was apart of the game too

[@canadian_grim_reaper]

I was so hyped for this game after the demo. Glad Tyler is getting that bread for playing it

[@Sicara9]

Hyped for this playthrough! But I gotta say, if this game had VR support I would play this myself hands down. I wouldn't even care how much vertigo it would give me lol

[@Zxanonblade]

It really feels like it could be a VR game honestly. Just something about the art style and especially the simulation aspect makes it seem perfect for VR.

[@ScibbieGames]

​@@ZxanonbladeIn VR you have two eyes. The transition from photo to environment wouldn't hold up

[@HardxCorpsxKali]

I could only see it giving you vertigo if you were moving around very quickly. If you were normal moving it probably wouldn’t get you too bad.

[@psigreen3864]

​@@ScibbieGamesI can envision a transition that gradually makes the photo 3d that wouldnt look bad. it wouldn't be the same kind of depthless illusion in the flat version, but it should still be a strange experience

[@noahsmethers9339]

@@psigreen3864 I don't see a need to change it. You see a photo, and you change perspectives and *poof* it's not a photo!

[@Shapeshifter_bot]

3:44 fun fact these eyes are a necklace with ‘evil eye’ on them that supposedly wards off bad energy

[@emeraldnickel]

This is a mechanic on par with Superliminal and Portal. I adore puzzle games like this!

[@latbil]

I just want to say, I’m not even a third of the way through the video and these edits have already made me laugh out loud like 5 times. Keep it up!!

[@MandrakeGuy]

iv genuinely never seen an effect like that, and im not refering to the- fact that the entire worlds perspective stopped functioning at all once you crashed the "system" but like- the weird horizontal distortion effect on the objects, that looks really cool and also terrifying

[@AstroEli133]

All it does is turn it into a wall.

[@Beast10x1]

I’ve just finished watching room to grow.(great series after you get through the easy levels) We need a puzzle game that makes Tyler change shirts again! Also the difference in editing is crazy keep up the good work!!

[@sinom]

I don't think he has the time anymore to allow him to do that

[@777theultra9]

1:20 Did Tyler discovered a speed running tech?!

[@jisteruis]

maybe

[@megaing1322]

To note: In the version Tyler is playing, there appears to be no other person that talks to you with, which helps a lot with understanding the story.

[@Caiofoca]

Yeah, I wonder if he was playing an older version that didn't have lore or if it's some kind of alternate version that doesn't have lore on purpose.

[@spacelover4106]

​@@CaiofocaI think Tyler just disabled it on purpose, just like in the demo

[@cheeseymoon2848]

im just imagining what a speedrun would even begin to look like

[@littlecatking9836]

id love to see a speedrun of this game

[@Manstrual]

This is the perfect game for a dev to go rogue and implement the fattest jumpscare out of nowhere

[@Akotski-ys9rr]

The most thing I’m impressed about is how they programmed this

[@Dan_Blocc]

really much reminds me of the witness, with the cool mechanic and the style it takes too.

[@xd_Corruption]

Editing was great for this video, amazing job Dan.

[@NotGeri]

So unique! I loved watching you play the demo. We certainly need a series!

[@TivaDi]

the edits are SO AMAZING and funny! i LOVE your videos already but the edits make them even more amazing!😄

[@samuellafleur7027]

I’m just imagining how cool this would be if it was a VR game. Been waiting for this one. Cant believe it’s been so long since the first one.

[@lukejoseph8821]

I'm motion sick watching this video lmao. VR would destroy me

[@smearfo5612]

I'm not sure if it would actually work in VR, since the game seems to be built around a lack of depth perception.

[@44Hd22]

5:05 there’s so much lore. You can use the Zoom feature to read it. So there’s a machine that can fix the climate. The industry made the oxygen be to little in the atmosphere so people have to isolate their Air and monitor their oxygen. The blueprints to fix the climate are apparently in the simulation. That’s all I could read. The text with the heading the red world is not readable due to video quality.

[@muyleche_]

The speedruns for this game are going to be crazy

[@alicecarter9672]

editing is always on point!

[@superslobro]

This may be the coolest game mechanic in a long time, but Tyler is equally cool :) Edit: And the editor!!! Good work, Dan White!!!

[@7e13architgupta8]

I can tell this game is gonna have fantastic lore.

[@oppanaenaestyle4758]

2:16 He made a dangling bridge 😭

[@tres-3770]

I love when devs don't just build puzzles with one solution and expect you to find that singular thing fun (there are some games where this is fun), these devs have done a fantastic job Also I think the math behind this is quite interesting, teachers always said geometry matters well now we know

[@peble_8807]

The editing for this channel is so funny. Props to the editors

[@kingjack0897]

1:25 loved the photons joke, peak comedy

[@jamesbkr13]

Speedruns of this will be nuts to watch

[@marcosruim9292]

That weird eyes are Nazars. It's believed that Nazars protect the wearer or their houses from the evil eye. It's a greek mythology thingy but it is very popular on other parts of the world as well.

[@OctaHeart]

"Viewfinder is finally out" *checks the Steam page.* *releases in 8 hours.* I've been lied to and will never emotionally recover from this.

[@couragegallegos6467]

Something small that I really like in the videos is how you put the game, release date, and platforms in the corner at the beginning

[@austinwanner449]

pleasepleasepleasePLEASE make more of these, this is the coolest game ive seen in a long time

[@eduarddlabola9688]

2:13, at this time, RCE bought a flight ticket and a gun.

[@Zxanonblade]

This is one of those games where when I first saw trailers for it, I just knew Tyler would be playing it.

[@the-pepsi-paladin]

3:46 is the moment i realized that not everyone is familiar with Turkish culture

[@claytonharting9899]

I love the aesthetic of this game. I want my real life home to look like those photos some day

[@sunnywunny]

that hand sanitizer edit at 5 minutes was UNEXPECTED

[@SkelyGeekin]

When the world crashed I was ready for the game to turn into a horror

[@floralfires]

I just watched a 100% witness playthrough and I'm seeing those real world puzzles everywhere here

[@mid1662]

dan the goat editer

[@gautamde6838]

Nice photo

[@ingenuous4137]

Noone gonna talk about the hand sanitizer at 4:55?

[@tripledyou9580]

The dilemma of wanting to watch a new aliensrock video but also wanting to play the game yourself.

[@00caljenn]

Dang! Another video that I’ll have to wait to watch after I play this one. Can’t wait!

[@toastbreab]

That Exodia edit was so good

[@JiveTurkey159]

8:49 the editor has gotten so fucken good at the subtle humor

[@SCP-Dr_Bright]

your editor is PERFECT

[@Maker0824]

I was thinking about this game yesterday. This is perfect.

[@XenXenOfficial]

This is toooottaallly gonna be VR

[@justjuniorjaw]

8:48 Now that's effort. Thanks Editors.

[@nekrugderzweite8298]

Oh my that game is incredible

[@mutantbreadslice6230]

This has got to be one of the best gameplay videos yet.

[@Bredar1e]

Imagine how crazy a speed run of this would look…

[@nemesis041]

Oh yeah, I'm definitely gonna look more into this one.

[@serketenglish5963]

A VR version of this game would be so cool.

[@medo69]

props to the editor 8:50 is so fucking clean i had to do a double take to check if it was an edit or not

[@mr.mikail4696]

The eyes is a iconic symbol of Turkey with a long cultural history. Its called Nazar the evil eye. It has been around since ancient times, and over the years, it has become a strong symbol for the whole country. The Turkish Blue Eye is a talisman that is believed to ward off evil and bring good luck. 3:50

[@remz94]

great video!

[@JoshnS8n]

Love watching honestly at the edge of my seat for the next vid

[@simonhansson4115]

One of the funkiest games I've ever seen. Damn, so creative!

[@El_Fling]

"In the bathroom? Don't mind if I do." Needs to be clipped without any context

[@gazs7237]

Love the concept, looks fun, but i just know that it will become so damn difficult that id quit and never play again

[@Weddzzz]

Reminds me of the witness which was probably tied as my favorite series with inscription

[@lightknightgames]

I hate it when a puzzle game you play gets really interesting, because now I want to play it without spoilers D:

[@aaronjafri9004]

The eye amulets are a Mediterranean and Middle Eastern thing that serve as a guard against the evil eye. The name of the amulet varies from culture to culture, the two I know being Mati in Greek and Nazar in Arabic regions. Wikipedia only lists those two, with the term Nazar being seemingly used everywhere from the western coast of the Mediterranean to India. Of these places, I've only been to Greece, but they were everywhere there. There's also an emoji for them 🧿

[@lauri2806]

A REALLY cool game, I can just assume what a headache this game must have been to code

[@potroast702]

Seeing Tyler struggle to grasp that you can just rotate any photo anyway you want haha

[@jackwilder2544]

3:47 I will tell him. Aliensrock... you are in fact being watched.

[@ButRedman]

This game was released on my birthday and I think that’s pretty cool

[@ChaseGarvey-Sadler]

Wait til Tyler gets back to peglin and discovers the new Alien's Rock

[@mylittledarkworldjohn4289]

I find it interesting that this isn't an entire new room, but just a picture turned into a 3D environment

[@udachic9723]

this is perfect. I like the game. I like how Tyler playing it. I like the jokes made by the editor. This content is so good :)

[@Duraludon884]

1:29 "Photons be like: 'take that, reality!'"? I haven't been keeping up with quantum physics news as much as I should, did something happen related to photons?

[@DevistatorXL]

this hurt my brain in a good way. I love the mechanic already

[@corruleumblue3317]

That editor comment at 2:29, "where'd he learn to make terrible bridges like that?"... looks at Poly Bridge videos in the recommended... XD

[@Maker0824]

5:00 That sanitizer looks too happy to be used

[@ThisIsNotADrell]

Coolest in a long time! Love it!

[@lastwymsi]

This was amazing

[@Dragonoidalpha]

This game looks really nice. Reminds me of the witness

[@notabandicoot5227]

What an awesome game. Gonna have to get it

[@m4rcyonstation93]

this game in vr would rock

[@PlasticSpork_]

After Can of Wormholes I've been skeptical of any puzzle game that dare challenge its spot at the top. Lots of potential here though! Hope it lives up to its mechanic!

[@shubanvarkar7080]

ok, i am like starting the video and these edits are crazy good.

[@nevinthebros]

This was such a dope video that it didn't even feel like 14 min went by

[@MrBlinky10101]

This might be another installment of the "cool game I'll have to play before watching Tyler play it" series

[@jarzz3601]

so excited for this game just 7 hours til it's out

[@lyzz]

This is one of those games that would be absolutely insane in vr

[@Banana_Fusion]

Woah that metalevel(?) surprised me 😂

[@Noobi5h]

the editing got me good

[@garymerfdudegui9452]

Bought and finished the game same day I started watching this video

[@jamiesnow8190]

Good stuff! Looking forward to more of this one!

[@theidiotofentireexistence3170]

its funny how they count the amount of people clicking the link and unlike other youtubers he did not mention anything about "use the link in the description to support me" or the similar stuff

[@XoIoRouge]

4:10 Wait, did the devs seriously use the DEMO as a bait and switch? They release a demo knowing people will play this section, or see this section played. The reactions to the demo are "A recursive Photo! That's awesome!" - but this means the reaction to the real game is "Ah, right, the recursive photo portion. Still cool the novelty is repeated because I've already played it. No worries, moving on." EXPECTATION: SUBVERTED. The impact of this moment (the "Error") has so much more weight when you've played or seen the demo. It has more weight in terms of META relevance. For folks who didn't know the demo, they may think this is a gentle reveal of the true plot, but for everyone else, we're SURPRISED because we expected the game to continue. Fucking BRILLIANT.

[@malknight4197]

I'm so excited it's finally out!!!!!!!!!

[@deefdragon]

Most games I have some idea how they are made.... I aint got a CLUE with this one. For all I care its freaking magic. Im VERY impressed and cant wait to see more.

[@Senorgato029]

This mechanic gives superliminal vibes and I do appreciate perspective based puzzle gameplay

[@OlieB]

This looks really fun

[@Chadworthy_]

Those blue eye charms are owl's eye of protection, my mom got one in Europe.
