Blank_01: The Overwhelming Horror of a Normal Life

[@spectrumoftherainbow]

I dont wanna go to collage and learn just to end up in crushing debt and never end up able to get peace of mind.

[@caindain2179]

My crushing fear…

[@Foxff0x]

I’m already stressed and I haven’t even started yet

[@paperfadora7709]

That’s why I’m not going to collage lol

[@Kalitayy]

I went through it and I'd say graduating from college and then getting a normal job is the biggest failure that can happen to a person

[@AzazelAlice]

Hi! I'm the developer of blank_01 and all I wanted to say is that this is my favorite video about this game. Thank you for making it.

[@Th3Badd3st]

That’s so kind, thank you!

i really love the hopeful ending rather than just having you self game over yourself. it feels more powerful and interesting. also it reminds me of the ending of the strike episode in spongebob

[@joel9104]

This game tackles a horror that I simply love more than anything. It's not like most where the horror comes from "being forced into a terrifying situation" e.g a freakish monster chasing you, the horror in this game comes from the realness of it all the " you are in this situation" if you will. As much as I enjoy pieces of media like Killer Frequency, Silent Hill or Indigo Park, I can always switch off those games and disconnect from the fear they make me feel because those feelings are fabricated out of fiction meanwhile this game makes me feel fear because of fact

[@SpaceNoodle7301]

1:55 To me, this looks more like an Ankh, an ancient Egyptian symbol representing life and immortality. The ancient Egyptians used it as a protective talisman, reflecting how most people wanted to live long lives. However, the Ankh's inclusion in this game (assuming that is what it is) flips that meaning on its head and contributes to the "fear of life" you describe. While long lives were once something to aspire to, a long life in the modern day can be a monotonous one that ultimately feels like it has no purpose.

I can confidently say that the message behind Blank_01 is super relatable in many ways. There are times where your everyday normal life is mainly prioritized before you can even do the things you enjoy doing the most.

i love the message of this game and the video: prioritizing happiness (and by extent, the little things you enjoy in life). the ending (i think) is about destroying an unhealthy lifestyle and mindset to make way for a better, healthier one. taking proper control and refusing to be just a cog. breaking down barriers to free yourself. i like how this ending is more hopeful, and shows the viewer/player that there is light at the end of the tunnel. the hallways of this game remind me of that tunnel, too! the work world is more than hard. i’m inspired by how well this game tackled that. powerful stuff!! thanks for covering it 💛

[@taichouu_1840]

this game is deep and is an accurate depiction of just working in general in america

[@ToastedCrumpy]

Damn this really made me think about life, how mundane and crushing it can be, but I love the ending of the game and the message of this video. Also it was a sledgehammer (I’m sorry I had to say it)

[@fireknight4151]

The biggest fear is not a life full of terror but a life full of tedium

[@Michel-dx1bn]

bro made us question our existence

[@TRULY2AWESOME]

I have no quirky statement to say here. Nice video.

[@the_funky_wandrr]

agreed!!

[@phantomkitten73]

"There isn't another indie horror game that reminds me of my own humanity like this one does." You should play Presentable Liberty.

[@MrNoah256]

Damn wasn't expecting this. I absolutely love the music as well and the ending of the video leaves me wanting more. Probably one of my favorite of your videos.

[@Николай-н7к6д]
