Anatomy | Scary Game Squad

[@thaynevisor]

For those curious, here's the full transcript of the Audio Cassette Tapes throughout the game. It's both fascinating and eerie: In the psychology of the modern civilized human being, it is difficult to overstate the significance of the house. Since as early as the neolithic era, humankind has defined itself by its buildings. Buildings for washing, buildings for socializing, buildings for protection, even buildings for the commemoration of the dead. But of all the structures mankind has invented for itself, there is little doubt that the house is that which it relies upon most completely for its continued survival. The house is one of the key elements that separates modern humanity from its more primitive antecedents. No other creature goes to such lengths to create lasting, permanent shelter for itself, nor regards such shelters with such reverence and import. Why do human beings of our modern age foster this tremendous sympathy towards their homes? There are many reasons, of course, but perhaps it is due in some small part to seeing them as a reflection of ourselves. The anatomy of the house is such that this analogy is less superficial than at first it may seem. To carry it further, if we were to dissect a house as we might a human cadaver, we would find ourselves able to isolate and describe its various appendages and their functions in a decidedly anatomical fashion. There is even a fair number of direct comparisons to be drawn between those organs of a house and those of a human body. For example, let us examine the living room. Often the dominant space of a house at ground level, as well as typically the center of activity in a well-populated home, the living room is very much the heart of the house. While a human heart circulates blood to oxygenate the body's extremities, the living room circulates people, activity, communication. It is the room most often to be found "beating," as active and vivacious as its name would imply. The comparison is only strengthened when we consider also the living room is most commonly the room to contain the fireplace, making it additionally a locus of actual, physical heat. It is easy to think of the kitchen and dining room as the stomach or digestive system of the house, though this comparison is tenuous. A contrast: the function in analog of a bathroom should be immediately obvious. The hallways and corridors of a house are its veins, providing circulation coursing throughout its frame. A staircase bears more than a passing resemblance both physically and symbolically to a spine. The windows serve much the same purpose as eyes, and anyone who has rounded a bend or long drive and come suddenly face to face with a tall, dark manor will tell you that it is difficult to shake the impression that the house, through its lightless windows, is a creature capable of vision and intelligence. The bedroom is perhaps the room that most eludes direct comparison in this fashion. At a stretch, and allowing for a bit of poetic sympathy, it might be said that the bedroom is not unlike the human mind - or those parts of it that dictate thought and imagination. In the bedroom, dreams are dreamt, passions are ignited, epiphanies are experienced in cold sweat at early hours. In the bedroom is where people invariably spend the majority of their time, though comparatively little of it whilst conscious. And yet this analogy is an incomplete one. Obviously the mind is an exceedingly complex thing, but the bedroom represents the thinking, dreaming part of the brain and it is the basement that represents those lower, unconscious parts. The basement is dark, it is buried. It is a place full of cobwebs where memories are stored. A point of comparison, truly. Often the unnerving uncertainty that comes with considering the deeper aspects of the human psyche is not unlike gazing down at the swimming blackness pooled at the bottom of the basement stairwell. It is a place we spend our childhoods filling with monsters that will lay for years in patient silence. It is a place that, barring some specific errand, we seldom ever want to go. Of course this comparison, though appropriate, is a very heavy-handed one. Often the basement is little more than a storage space, littered with the corpses of spiders and wood lice. While poets and psychoanalysts no doubt dread the thought of a dark basement, in truth it is the bedroom, the waking mind, that place of dreams, which is actually the most frightening of all. It is here, in the bedroom, that we are at our most vulnerable. Each night we shut our senses to the world for hours at a time, trusting in the house to keep us safe until next we wake. In this state of extreme vulnerability we will spend something like twenty percent of our lives. Anything might stand beside us, watch us, keep us company until dawn and we would never perceive it. We can only pray that the house will not let such things carry on while we sleep. In this way, during these hours, the bedroom seems less like a mind and more like a mouth. For it is here that the house is most likely to betray us. It is here that we place ourselves most at the house's mercy and spend each night hoping that it will not bite down. I dreamed that there are teeth growing all over me. And then they are on me, and in me. Cysts and bone spurs. They're loose but I cannot move them because I have no hands. I look out through the bedroom window. I see a truck approaching. A young man steps out, approaches and enters through the front door. His body is covered in swollen ticks the size of quarters. He's walking through the downstairs hallway and laughing. He begins urinating on the wall. He spits on the carpet. He's moving through the first floor, breaking and exciting things. He goes to the basement and stands at the top of the stairs. I'm angry at him so I slam the door and he falls down. We can feel his bones snapping. The tics are bursting, oozing black blood everywhere. We can feel him being ground up, dissolved and torn, splitting and shredding. I leave the door closed. I close my eyes and try to sleep. The teeth continue growing on me until there is nothing left on me but teeth, and gums, and sinew. The basement is dark. There is an important distinction that must be drawn between the words dissection and vivisection. A distinction that would appear to be lost on you. Your purpose was to listen and yet at every turn you have pried, you have prodded and you have interfered. Have you not been paying attention? Did it not occur to you that as an organism existing within a greater organism, your intrusion would be felt? And still you harass. And now, like the wayward spider who witlessly settled on a sleeper's tongue, you will be swallowed. Because the truth is this. When a house is both hungry and awake, every room becomes a mouth. What happens to a house when it is left alone? It becomes worn and aged. And its paint peels and its foundations begin to sink. It goes for too long unlived in. What does it think of? What does it dream? How does it regard those creatures who built it? Who brought it into existence only to abandon it when its usefulness no longer satisfies them. It may grow lonesome. It may stare for long hours into the darkness of its empty halls and see shadows. Its heart may jump as it thinks "here, here is someone again, I am not alone." Each time it is wrong. And the hurt starts over. It may haunt itself, inventing ghosts to walk its floors, making friends with its shadow puppets, laughing and whispering to itself at the end of some quiet cul-de-sac. It may grow angry. Its basement may fill with churning acid like an empty stomach. And its gorge may rise as it asks itself, through clenched teeth, "what did I do wrong?" It may grow bitter. It may grow hungry. So hungry and so bitter that its scruples dissolve and its doors unlock themselves. While a house may hunger, it cannot starve. And so in fever and anger and loneliness, it may simply lie in wait. Doors open. Shades drawn. Hallways empty. Hungry.

Shirley Jackson is an American horror writer who wrote, most apropos to this game, The Lovely House. Most people know her from The Lottery, however, that story you read in high school about the town picking one person at random to be stoned by everyone else. The reference in the last game was just there alongside other classic horror references.

[@Kramatus]

For those curious, that tape they play at 22:16 is audio from a special phonograph talking doll that Thomas Edison supposedly invented around 1877 and sold around 1890. …The dolls themselves were a failure and were taken off the market after a few weeks. They were rather large at twenty two inches tall, very heavy compared to other dolls on the market, and the records inside the phonographs inside metal torsos of the dolls were made of wax, so even if the internal phonograph worked as intended, the audio from the cracked, warped, ring-shaped wax record inside would produce sounds that would frighten most children and some adults. (I just played this game last night with some friends, and did some research when we all got freaked out by it. Stoked to see the squad playing this game!)

[@nixipixi8945]

I'm assuming that the dedication is in reference to American horror & mystery author Shirley Jackson (1916-1965). She is one of my favourite authors ever, folks will probably be to some extent familiar with one of her best known works 'The Haunting of Hill House' which has had several film adaptations and a recent netflix series, or 'The Lottery' which is a short story often looked at in schools. I highly recommend not only her novels but also her short stories many of which explore the mundane in an incredibly sinister fashion. Her writing is INCREDIBLE Edit: Definitely get some Haunting of Hill House vibes from this game, first paragraph of the book: "No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone."

[@ZexionII]

Got major "Hill House" vibes from the tape near the end. "While a house may hunger it cannot starve. And so in fever and anger and loneliness, it may simply lie in wait. Doors open, shades drawn, halls empty. Hungry." I have not read the original author, but that sounds straight out of the Mike Flanagan adaption. Describes the Red Room to a T. EDIT: Went back and rewatched, episode 10 at around 39 minute mark. Talks about the house being a body, with eyes, bones and skin. And the red room being the stomach, where it consumed its victims. Also, near the start, the way Steven describes the house in his book, very similar in (gothic) vibe to this game's narration.

[@iamalivenow3721]

i've been in love with this game since 2 Best Friends played it years ago. i was always hoping SGS would find it and i was not disappointed in how they received it. this honestly may be my favorite piece of horror media, maaaaybe just slightly under or equal to PT. kitty horrorshow is a genius and while this game is not technically free (it's like 3 dollars) i think it's a small price to pay.

[@FarewellApollo]

This is the kind of horror I love. Psychological. The one's where you freak yourself out just as much as the game freaks you out. An impeding, creeping sense of dread. Occasionally meta. The uncanny that takes the familiar and twists it into something unsettling. Even the formula of horror is twisted. It plays with expectations. Typical to set you up and then relieve you with a jumpscare. The set up in horror is the part that I find the most scary, and therefore the most interesting. Like Jirard said at the end, sometimes you don't need a monster. And with this subject matter after all of us being locked inside our homes for a year? *chef's kiss*

[@gakulon]

Horror experiences without the big, stress-relieving payoff are almost always worse in terms of being terrifying. When you're expecting the jumpscare but the experience has ended, what you're left with is expecting it in every moment afterwards, tensing up, waiting for something to happen that you know will never come but you're still sure it will rear its ugly head.

One of the few times where I've already beaten a game before the SGS plays it. This game is so good!

[@ChrisM-st1pw]

Watching this midway through and realise it is kind of like each time a tape cassette is played it deteriorates.

[@BurningFreesias]

The full game of Alisa is out now! When I saw it I immediately thought of you guys and its demo you played a year ago! :D Excellent work as always, I look forward to every SGS video!

[@ohitelms350]

hearing you guys genuinely excited about the game was really cool ! glad you found this and shared with us

[@VoltieBird]

I could've sworn the squad already played Anatomy, my spooktubers seem to be blending together.

[@nunpho]

Samesies!

[@jinx17]

Lmao echo jesse cackle at the beginning 😂

[@MightyDesperado]

I'm so glad you guys played this because I've wanted to check it out for a long time now, and yeah, there's no way I could have. Too scary lol

[@brandonsmith7007]

Ok I'm not gonna lie scary movies and games dont get to me permanently, I'm lagit terrified of this game. A plus kitty horrorshow!

[@Fritzvalt]

So, fun story about that nightmarish recording of the Lord's Prayer. That is the (unaltered) audio from the world's first talking doll, made by Thomas Edison. It is... horrifying.

Not gonna lie I cannot see a single thing Jesse is seeing

[@phoenyck]

Am I the only one who thinks Alex and Davis sound super similar? I didn't know Alex when I started watching Scary Game Squad and I honestly thought there were just three people for a while and even when I did realise there were 4 people I often couldn't tell if Alex or Davis were talking. The only reason I can now is because I started listening to Chilluminati and got used to Alex's voice there 😂

The "I am the mermaid song! 🧜‍♀️" bit damn near made me choke on my nachos. 😭

[@rhiannonr]

I also hated 22:15 Davis. The distortion and shrillness was unnerving - def one of the creepier tapes I've heard in a horror game 😰

Jesse: "Man I'm seeing bodies!" Me: "I just see my double-chin from how freakin' dark it is."
