This game trolled me and took years off my life

[@SparkyL-Maxwell]

My friend (Matt) is the guy who came up with viewfinder. When we were living together he would keep showing me dumb little things he was excited for people to find. Watching Kev point out all dumb the things and "breaking" the game the way Matt hoped people would... it melts my heart. I wasn't involved in anyway with the development, but I seen first hand how much was getting put into this game. The amount of passion and personal dedication that was poured into Viewfinder was admirable to say the least. I am so glad I can watch someone playing EXACTLY as hoped. Just dumb fun, not looking for the correct way to solve a puzzle, and embracing the characters for their quirks. The fact I can see this response from one of my favourite KZbinrs could honestly make me cry.

[@marcusdaloia2974]

Keven is like _weirdly_ the exact target audience for this game. Like to a odd degree.

[@AstralDragn]

Sounds like a developer with a drive to make puzzles that are both conniving and also open to being solved. Exactly how I think good puzzlegames are!

[@THEGOOD360]

We'll just... take your word for that I guess lol

[@mattstark7814]

can confirm, Sparky's my buddy 😊@@THEGOOD360

[@highdefinition450]

lmao i muted the characters and never read the dialogue i just like the concept and solving puzzles lol

[@tacticaljuggernaut4866]

I cant believe how perfect the audio was in this video, so proud of how far Kevin has come

[@aspzx]

Nothing but professionalism.

[@proudtiger2538]

he's the professionalest for sure

[@justinthatguy]

Some might call him an audio genius

[@midnight_4-202]

Audio Prodigy

[@luridftwgaming8983]

When you record multiple audio channels you can fix your mistakes after 😂

[@AlephSharp]

I love how much kevin sounds like a point & click game protagonist this video. "That's not what I need right now." "I'm gonna have to find a picture or something." "I don't know where to go." "Can I go up that path?" "There's Gotta be a picture here somewhere." And thats all just in the span of like 20 seconds at 1:40

[@rachell.5555]

The best part about the last one is that the thing he needed was right next to him as well

[@antoinekoh8532]

Love it when kevin gets a taste of his own medicine as the game trolls him back ❤

[@UtopssAKAPJ]

about time lol

[@Itscoltonjohns]

He liked it ❤💛🖤♥

[@boink666]

Kevin is very professional when it comes to audio and video. I was blown away by how there were no errors at all in this video.

[@pedrovallefin8406]

All joking aside, the audio issue was really barely noticable. I probably wouldnt have noticed it all if he himself didnt pointed out in the video. Maybe is more of a blaring issue in youre using headphones?

[@connor7831]

Kevin: Ignores all phone calls Also Kevin: Why has nobody given me this important information until right now

[@sdivine13]

Same tho

[@DarksoulVan]

🎉

[@AdalynnCaelgirien]

Cait disappearing with tears in his eyes while purring was heartbreaking :(

[@angelinasurzhyk6655]

I KNOWWW that got me so emotional, I can't believe this game already got me so attached to this character in the 1,5 minutes he was present in the video🥹

[@seidimeow]

and kevin didn't show the credits but they literally say hashtag justice for cait at the end 😭💗

[@cybeermancom1]

am sad

[@spookylittlebat]

🥺😖😭

"Games trolling Kevin" is my second favourite type of videos on this channel, right after "Kevin trolling games" videos.

[@robiguzman8529]

Cant wait to see how kevin accidentally solves puzzles the “wrong” way

[@spectre9340]

as funny as this all was, I'm really impressed by the game developers. This was a really interesting type of gameplay

[@krazyxki]

Indie devs are carrying the entire industry rn!

[@jacobshaw8247]

Yeah thank god for independant developers in all artistic fields. Down with corporate america.

[@Gondorf5]

Kevin is a photography genius. I can’t believe how perfect the audio was in this video. This also makes him an editing genius, and I remember no reality in which this is untrue.

[@SomniiLinn]

I'm so impressed over games like these - and even more impressed by Kevin's two braincells still being alive, even if barely

[@scalemerald]

his 2 braincells are the 1% of germs that hand sanitizers fail to kill. many have tried, none have succeeded.

[@Roof5tone]

I love how everything is ok and functional in this professional let's play video.

[@idkman3463]

My favourite part was how everything was professioal quality the whole time. Kevin is a prefessional genius!

[@Connor_RK801]

I feel like Kevin has played so many puzzle games that we’ll never truly know which one is “the coolest”

[@jameswent48]

feel*

[@GhostHelwig]

I feel like watching such a trippy game on this particular channel is going to make it a thousand times more confusing, and I love it. 😂

[@FineBlaBla]

love how kevin is bashing himself for the little mistake with the audio all while i didn't even noticed it in the beginning

[@actuaiiyyou]

Kevin always pushes the envelope when it comes to audio quality, wonderful work, I can’t imagine what it must feel like for someone who can’t achieve this amazing sound

[@TheSkylineSuperMan]

I really liked how absolutely everything was okay in this video, classic Kevin, a consummate professional.

[@azalea_k]

I was SO HOPING for this game, because Superliminal is my most rewatched here. Maybe I just like it when Kevin gets trolled.

[@phraggers]

having written games myself (as a hobby) I always appreciate games with a rewind feature. For those who haven't tried before, it is INCREDIBLY difficult to pull it off efficiently (keeping track of gamestate and input over time without having terrabyte sized save files is a real challenge!)

[@bobbixvv]

30:02 "by the time i get used to something that feature's useless, we've moved on and i'm confused again" yep, that was me in maths

[@anurbanurb]

It's amazing how much of a professional Kevin is. The audio is flawless!

[@Wes_Darvin]

"Yes! This changes everything!" "Oh no! This changes everything!" 😂 I can't breathe

[@jtmarlin336]

"Who is this cat? I feel like he's judging me" 😂😂😂

[@jazzpancake1167]

Less than two minutes in and my brain hurts. But what a cool concept!

[@deltadeltagrand2842]

Man, this videos audio was so *ok* for the first *01:12* of it. The rest was *ok* too, this is why I love watching CallMeKevin. Quality, especially in the *ok* audio. You’ll never get a video with audio this *ok* for the first *01:12* of it from anyone else.

[@shyguy23000001]

17:16 seeing Kevin pick up both film without picking up one and taking photos of it multiple times genuinely hurts me

[@Cannabinova]

UaU the audio at the beginning is epically on point, proving Kevin is a recording genius.

[@SparklerScented]

You should try holy potatoes, a weapon shop! I promptly remember you saying you're obliged to play all potato game as an irishman. This game is filled with fun references and whatnot too. I love it!

[@morganpresley496]

I'm so glad you played through the entire game in this video! It's really nice to have that resolution, especially when I haven't played the game myself. Thanks for all of your hard work making these videos!

[@NotOnLand]

I was so happy when Kev started the video with the voice acting off, but then he "fixed" it... At least he cut or talked over most of it

[@BrianaCunningham]

"I'm never leaving!" "What!? I'm trapped in here!" 😂😂

[@RasmusMyKing]

Wow! The audio in the first few minutes is amazing! Kevin is a military genius!

[@what4494]

Its like a “make ur own fromsoft game map” simulator haha, all the interconnectedness and unexpected turns and secrets

[@ManicMama.]

This is one of the coolest games Ive seen in a while! I saw another youtuber play it not long ago and was completely blown away by it. So glad Kevin is playing it!!

[@JhericFury]

I was just watching the superliminal videos recently, love these kinds of games. Also love Kevin's brain falling apart trying to solve them

Kevin: I’m a compleshonist Also Kevin: optional challenge goes against what I believe in

[@littlebear274]

22:35 "I've just adapted to this world now, I'm not coming back" reminds me too much of the time I played Superliminal for two hours straight and my brain was convinced the entire world was an optical illusion afterwards. I've seen the start of this game before but boy oh boy it gets even more trippy as it goes. (Obligatory admiration for Kevin's flawless audio engineering skills.)

[@h.8281]

Every videogame should have the rewind option. That's such a good idea!.

[@Jockdog]

It's a great feature! I love that a lot of kids' games have been adding it, and that the old console games on Switch all have it as an extra feature. I think my favourite games where it's actually a big part of the game are Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective and Braid :)

[@bucketofsunshine6366]

I only watched half so far because I'm playing this game myself and I don't want the answers spoiled, but I'll be back when I'm done! I only just got to Mirren's level. That last one where the battery turned into a cylander really hurt my brain. I hate that I had to look up the answer, but I was to the point of constantly throwing myself off the edge in frustration, only to be even more frustrated by my lack of death. 😅 I felt so dumb when I saw how to do it!

[@lizzyley748]

First off the audio was perfect, and second is there another ending one where Cait doesn’t die.

[@electinae]

I'm so glad the audio was absolutely perfect in this video, Kevin is such a professional!

[@sarah.1230]

my favorite part was how everything was perfectly fine in the beginning, especially the audio. first impressions are everything👏🏻

[@KerriB]

I've been binge watching Kevin's content so much lately, he actually feels like a friend ❤ Edit: Kevin is a person on the internet. He's not literally a friend. Thanks for the concern about my mental health though. It's really nice to know people care

Please seek help if you think this way. Like actually think this way. That's you being mentally unstable. It can cause harm to you and people around you in the end if it goes too far.

[@demoworldplayer]

Kevin needs to play "5D chess with multiverse time travel" with Anna. Would be awesomely confusing.

[@linklink3069]

I have beaten this game over 5 times by now, it's probably one of my favorite games of the year.

[@connor7831]

Oh wow I love how everything is okay at the beginning especially the audio. For real tho, great video, it always makes my day, thank you Kevin!

[@thedarkness8533]

Keven has _actually_ the exactly right shaped brain for this.

[@sic6sixboi]

This game actually looks insane

[@breakingaustin]

I was one of the testers for this game and it was so much fun.. I always wanted to see you play this since I watched you play Superliminal but I had to wait for the game to come out lol

[@Vollce]

Kevin feels like he's being in the matrix but I was in Finland for a month and this is exactly what it was.

[@L0xi3]

Oooh, these games are always so trippy, seeing Kevin play it will just make it even more confusing haha

This is the fourth game to have taken years off of Kevin's life, based on the title. Now I'm starting to get concerned for his health lol

How many years does Kevin have left? It’s getting concerning now!!

If this kind of stuff breaks his brain, Quantum Conundrum will absolutely break him. And Antichamber too

[@marrchaney9206]

I feel like if Kevin were a cat, he'd be an orange cat

[@Jockdog]

As an Orange owned person I can confirm. One Orange Brain Cell shared amongst all orange cats absolutely holds true for Kevin. My cat only gets a connection to it once a year or so for a firmware update. This year he learned how to use his puzzle feeder, so now he doesn't want food in his food dish. Only in puzzle feeder. He learned to open doors last year, so honestly, this is a much better use of the brain cell. I have to warn people that if they use the bathroom, he will most likely barge in on them just to ensure the door stays open.

[@marrchaney9206]

@@Jockdog LOL yes! My orange boy figured out which walls in the house make the best shadows so if he wants to play Shadows, he will sit up against the wall and chirp at me until he gets his shadows from me. He has only gotten the braincell once in his life, and it was for his shadows.

[@Jockdog]

@@marrchaney9206 Oh my goodness, that's so adorable... and 100% orange. The things they decide are toys go way beyond twist ties and balls of foil. Although I had a couple of heavy-duty twist ties that won Toy of the Year several years running, because cats. Nothing says "Cat Owner" like getting more excited over the twist ties included in a piece of electronics than the electronics themselves. 😂

[@JhericFury]

Ok, the fake at a distance battery puzzle was genius

[@rotexor]

"I don't know if I'm supposed to do it like this" I think the whole point is that you are free to solve the puzzles however you want with the tools given. Makes for quite an interesting game. :)

[@amberyoung3169]

Kevin, I know it's cheesy but your videos, chaos, and general personality have been the background noise I always have playing when I cant take silence. Your videos have helped me exist during some rough times in my life. Thank you for putting in such hard, consistent work.

Kevin is an IT genius.

[@NoHandsJustSleevies]

Speaking on Evil Gardeners, there was a story I learned in high school when we were learning about genetics ( i haven't been able to confirm it) that some scientist guy crossbred a whole bunch of plants and accidently made hybrids that produce more pollen. In reality we have more pollen due to our climate but I still like blaming mystery Evil Gardener on my allergies.

[@animaloversammy]

Out of curiosity, your teacher mentioned Mendel and how we have genetics because of his pea plants right? Just it was flower color, not pollen. Cause this exact statement sounds like how my teachers would change plant color with other things sometimes. (I had genetics a lot throughout high school and college and for some reason they all did that) Never heard about more pollen though 😂

"I haven't picked up the phone for like the last 3 or 4 times. They must be very concerned." Me: Laughs in social anxiety.

[@dajosh42069]

I watched "ManyATrueNerd" play this in a one off episode... and..it's really a fascinating game that has you explore a sort of 4d exploration of the liminal space. It allows for super complex solutions, and insanely simple ones. One of the few games I found to be truly cool in its demand for critical thinking.

[@Jockdog]

I love puzzle games that offer up so much freedom when it comes to solving them, instead of there being only "one true solution". It also allows the games to have that much more room for potential messing-around in 😂 The voice acting for CAIT was fantastic, too. I know Kevin was skipping by a lot, but the range of the performance is really impressive. This game gave my heartstrings as heavy a tug as my brainmeats 😢

[@horrorislander]

"Gardeners can ruin the world too, especially if you have allergies." I just flashed on the world's worst, and most do-able, super villain. I mean, DCs Poison Ivy is a gardener super villain, but she's pretty out-there. But what if I were just the Johnny Appleseed of ragweed and kudzu? Weeds and invasive species happen naturally all the time, but surely a turn-coat human could make things much, much worse, couldn't he? Thank you, Kevin!
