Beating the White Knuckle Campaign Demo - VERY Intense Sci-Fi Horror Megastructure Speed-Climbing!

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

I covered White Knuckle a few weeks ago, but I barely scratched the surface of it. I've been practicing and have now managed to beat the campaign demo. It's VERY tough, but also an incredible game. The most intense gaming experience I've had in a long time and there are some very close calls in the video! :)

[@johnmoctezuma7335]

Please play Laika aged though blood PLEASE

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

@@johnmoctezuma7335 Hi! I covered a demo build of Laika about a year ago and really loved it, but I don't really have enough spare time ot cover the full game. Would highly recommend it though, it's a great game. :)

[@giulyanoviniciussanssilva2947]

Now you are AlphaBeatTheGame 🗿

[@MarioPawner]

How many hours of practice lead up to this?

[@ДаниилАлександров-ц5е]

Gongrats! I also finished demo recently. 67 deaths, 18 hours. Managed to get to the elevator at the very last moment when the mass had already enveloped me. Never been so stressed playing a game

[@RougeMephilesClone]

I didn't think we'd get a second video until the game was out, but I'm thankful that we did. Evidently, it's worth the effort.

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Yeah, I feel like the first vid was just scratching the surface, so had to do another one!

[@darkmachinegames]

Awesome run!! Thanks again for covering it, you have no idea how amazing it is that you not only covered it once, but TWICE?! Crazy! ♥

[@maranisha.]

Your game kicks absolute ass on god 🔥 Had me addicted

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

It's genuinely a pleasure to cover it twice. I was kinda just getting to grips with it in the first video so figured I should come back and do the full thing. Absolutely love the game. Between the main campaign and the endless modes I've put in over 24 hours into it already, which is crazy for a demo! :)

[@deadmackerelstudio1370]

Quite excited for it guys! Best of luck!

[@darkmachinegames]

@@deadmackerelstudio1370 Thank you!!!

[@RecRealMaster]

Yup i cannot wait for the full game, feels like it will be TONS of hours of content just for a simple game, seeing that it took me 10 hours just to beat the demo

[@zurreal9783]

21:42 I actually pogged hard when I saw this, what a fucking save!

[@Dystinction1]

Literal clutch

[@jordanrayees8044]

I like how most horror games have facilities having monsters infiltrating them. Amazing play through, its so satisfying to see speed climbing. My anxiety kept increasing when the hands turn red- 21:42 terrified moment😭😭😭

[@davisgoodrich8183]

I love the mechanic of your hands having their own stamina. I think this will really capture the feeling of free climbing.

[@princesspupcake1269]

Kinda wild that this is only a demo. Also that close-call right at the very end, just BARELY saving yourself, that was a real clencher.

[@MoogMonster554]

01:34 Deliberately getting caught by the Barnacle is a clever tactic. Much quicker than climbing. 09:34 I can't believe you survived that Strider section!

[@HereJohnsonCave]

He took a swim

[@Sparkz1607]

climbing games are so much more fun when the player's grip can't "slip" due to momentum. it doesn't matter how "intentionally difficult" or "realistic" slipping is, it always feels like a failure of the character that's blamed on the player. i'm so glad White Knuckle knows better.

[@sookiyomi]

I've been playing White Knuckle ever since I saw your first video on it and I just recently got to the part shown at 18:00. This game is difficult but it's so addicting

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Yeah it's really tough! My biggest advice is to remap the button you use for selecting the hammer (1 or 3) to the middle mouse button so you can access it quicker. I'd also recommend saving lots of rebars for the final area (and firing them into the walls like I did). You need to get back to the elevator quick!

[@theoreticalexistence9630]

@@AlphaBetaGamer one playthrough I saw went straight from the button back to the elevator by throwing rebars downwards for the recoil lol

[@panlat7931]

oooof that jump there at 21:41 that was close

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Haha, yeah I genuinely thought I was a gonner there!

[@moobajin]

this and peaks of yore dlc have taken over my life recently 😂

[@casuallatecomer7597]

I never knew there would be this much potential to be had in a climbing game but it's amazing to see what this game in particular had to offer.

[@Prymecrafter]

cant tell you how excited I am for this game dude

[@vulpinecrime]

glad i saw your first video on it, i've been addicted to endless hard mode. super excited for the final game

[@saintsinningsword]

Loved seeing how masterful Alpha was playing! The final pun got me.

[@karikora8279]

Man that game was intense! I'm so glad you came back to it! Thanks for the upload!

[@grantrice1138]

I've been catching up on your videos lately and I coincidentally just watched your first video with this game when you uploaded this. I'm so glad your revisiting this game!

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Yeah, it's an incredible game! The movement feels so good and it's brutally tough. Took me a while to beat it!

[@doneedanickname3522]

I really hope this game takes off, it's phenomenal

[@MissBeeBonnet]

I love that you brought a little buddy with you the whole time 😂

[@jaredf9542]

I was obsessed with the original vid when you released it, I'm so happy to see you take another crack at it!

[@palladios4459]

Climb ABG, climb!

[@JohnCharb87]

That pun at the end. You've been hanging on to that one for a while now I assume.

[@somenerd8401]

that fall at 21:41 made me actually yell "NO" out loud

[@Ware_Salesman]

let's goooo i was hoping for another vid on this

[@EggFuhrer]

watching this game makes me more tense than any other, such great atmosphere and the climbing really is terrifying

[@The_Sweet_Res]

This somehow reminds me of Rainworld. Imagine what the slugcats have to go through on the daily.

[@suburbantimewaster9620]

It does look like a very intense game.

[@subhazard4297]

This game needs all the attention it can get. It's DEFINITELY going to be a HUGE hit when it releases. These devs bottled lightning

[@draconianmethods7110]

Very interesting game. I really love how unique the gameplay is. Thanks for sharing.

[@RedJester68]

This game looks really cool! I wish there was a mode that was *just* the climbing without having to worry about being chased because that would stress me out too much, I think.

[@metalwolfzx]

Not really my "cup of tea" as they say (I prefer games with a focus on combat), but I won't deny how amazing this looks.

[@ArguablyTheWorst]

Ive yet to even beat it myself, its incredible what theyve done with the project so far and im very excited to see how it all wraps up! That elevator bit at the end gets me everytime... Pipeworks has a few tricky modules but that elevator escape is something else

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Yeah, the elevator section is a nightmare! I find that firing lots of rebars into the walls is the best tactic. But even still, I almost lost it right at the end there!

[@FrancoAlmiron-f6o]

Woah, i looking forward for this game!

[@spartan7375]

man talk about a bad day to leave your climbing equipment at home

[@liliana.6053]

I've played around it a bit and now my forearm is sore because of how hard I was holding down the mouse buttons

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Haha, that happened to me too!

[@dalo8096]

I wanted to say how strong that character is that he can throw metal rods so hard that they stick to concrete walls half across the map... but then I remember that CHAD just climbs for a kilometer in record pace

[@ze_glitchy_gamer7629]

I love this game now

[@emmittkussrow8899]

I really want to know some of the story here. Where are we, exactly? What on earth did humanity do to create The Mass? Why is The Climber the only one left? I hope the full release gives us a chance to learn some of these things, even if its a "collect floppy discs along the way and learn all the facts once you've escaped" deal

[@AntipaladinPedigri]

9:02 since there are already climbing handles knocked into walls before you got there, I am assuming the body mass is made of all the climbers who failed before you. Or maybe it's you. A consciousness forced into a body made from the flesh pit. Forever to be tormented by the endless climb and being chased... by yourself.

[@zhouenlaienjoyer6306]

This dude's got insane core-strength, doing all that climbing.

[@chukyuniqul]

Ever since I've seen your video of this game, I've been watching it and now I'm tryina beat the campaign demo on hard. The mass gets VERY aggressive once you're past the introductory parts of the pipeworks.

[@Jackal2664]

Goddamn man that was impressive to watch. How much practice did this take?

[@isanyonethere7668]

24 hours, apparently

[@lorddiana7746]

Oh, very cool! Was especially interesting to watch your approach to the control room segment, turned out no less close-call than mine 😅 For anybody else struggling with it - there's also a series of bars sticking out below. You have to actually *descend* to them, but they lead right from the elevator bridge almost to the control room platform - either throw a rebar that way beforehand or, like me, do some piton-hammering for the final stretch. Just be VERY quick, because the rising mass can cut that route off

[@thebruhhaha]

Guess you had some time to find your *footing* in this game, heh. Great job

[@Mad_Heretek]

Seriously, I’ve said it before, but Megastructure game fandoms are eating really well this last few months XD

[@TURBOSLAYERPWNZ]

when I see that gameplay I imagine player character's physique to be like that of a Gasbag monster from Unreal 1 xd game is awesome, althou its not as intense when you are that good already

I was worried that there wouldnt be another video, but my fears were misplaced.

[@jadewedge6082]

I haven't actaully watched this yet, but I'm letting you know that my first thought upon reading the title of this video was "CLIMB WHITEBOY CLIMB This seems like a really good run! Nice work. I wanted to ask though, what's that weird grub thing you picked up? What does the syringe and that diskette thing do?

[@isanyonethere7668]

if you squash the grub (DO NOT squash THE GRUB.. it is a defenseless innocent creature……) you get 20 seconds of being able to climb on anything like the walls directly, the syringe increases your speed, the diskette is a lore thing; if you insert it to a disk reader it gives a secret audio

[@looniemoonie5955]

I am getting massive BLAME vibes from this game. I've tried to play it myself, but failed miserably, so I better watch people with better skills playing it haha

[@xanixanixani]

I watched someone speedrunning it,the tactic for elevator buttons-use rebar to press them! I actually was shoked this would work,thus game is so detailed!

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Yeah there are some very cool speedrun tactics, especially for that end section! I might try some next time! :)

[@Milkosi_sua]

18:17 Our character must be a MUTATED mf to be able to throw steel bar into hardened concrete walls like that

[@Mephiles550]

I've been playing this game for 6-7 hours, best distance I can get is 1200 meters, I messed up bad right on the last main elevator bit Maybe it's cause I don't play a lot of indie stuff, but this is one of the hardest games I've ever played lol super addicting though

I didn’t heard about the game until now and I must ask you a question. I have an extremely similar concept for my game which is unfortunate. Should I cancel my game or keep going ?….

[@samhere9164]

if you want to,then you should continue it! i'd advise changing a few mechanics to make it unique.

[@_Zerth0]

@ the only difference now with my game is the fact you can climb freely on any wall for a certain amount of time (like BOTW). I guess it’ll do. I was also planning to have a ps1 graphics like but I mean that’s what you have to do now if you don’t wanna spend 5 years on assets so
