Someone needs to make a game where you save by using the toilet.

[@rhen4057]

you do in dead rising actually! i remember it in the second game specifically but maybe the whole series

[@ShadowsFateOfficial]

You're telling me a random teenager could banish Beelzebub, one of the 5 princes of Hell who is literally more powerful than the demons in the Conjuring Films by a long-shot lol.....I'm sorry that's just hilarious to me.

[@beverlyarcher3744]

Clairvoyant maybe really strong one and thus why not possessed like friends?

[@ShadowsFateOfficial]

@@beverlyarcher3744 Beezelbub is a demon prince, he's more powerful than Valak.....

You can do anything if you just believe in the lord hard enough! lmao.

[@Skritt-Stonemaw]

Honestly seeing a ghost/demon horror game like this where there wasnt some awful "You were secretly crazy there is no ghost" or "You were possessed all along" plot twist was nice

[@tylerrose2226]

Demon lets Make a deal CJU: hmmm NO

[@shadowcaptaincain]

Wait wait wait. You need a key to open the car door, when the window is wide open? Unless that window is super clear and the adjoining rear window is just really dirty, I'm pretty sure you could just reach in and unlock it, but you know game logic, lol.

[@lokicooper4690]

Game logic: like leaving a perfectly useful lantern and relying on a match, or leaving a handy axe/shovel/weapon/tool behind instead of taking it with you? Yeah, game logic increases the stupidity of the protagonist exponentially. Lol!

[@Scriptor13]

Hahaha! I loved Baal Zebub shouting: "shut up, Shut Up, SHUT UP!!" at Michael like a petulant teenage girl. 🤣 The end of the game was definitely a nod to organized religion. 😈 😇 😊 Overall, I enjoyed the game and thought it was a very good effort for a solo dev. Plus, any game that gets you flummoxed, CJU, gets a thumbs up from me.

[@Scriptor13]

@Pond3r Thiz I said "organized religion" as shorthand for brevity's sake. 😊 And, of course, the casting out of demons isn't restricted to Christianity. I 100% agree that humans can and do deify most anything.

[@fredd3233]

Obviously, the dev takes the religious aspect seriously. For commenters who like splitting hair, and if it's not overtly clear from the game : the first person in his short list of thank you's is God, ffs ^^

@@fredd3233 Wow, well that fits the impression I got from this game to the t.

[@alexandrialeonora6542]

I thought the sound effects were great in this game, but it was a bit of a slog as just a viewer (mainly because we were stuck in the same location doing much of the same things over and over again). Still, always a joy to watch you play horror games I could never play myself, and so many thanks for playing this as well!

[@christianverde2726]

Thank you CJ! I literally just searched yesterday if you had played this game, I didn't want to watch it if you weren't the one playing it. Cheers!

[@PaintedTurtle001]

This game was obviously more intense for the player than the observer. At the expense of being an army of one, i couldn't get into the "scares". The demon on the trail looked like a tanned guy wearing a speedo. Lol However, i did enjoy the look and sound. The adventure/investigative aspect. 👍

[@nicolehancock19]

It’s the “Did I fucking Stutter” for me! I love you!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jmdennis1967]

When you were going around those dead ends it reminded me of the game you played in an old bunker where you had to collect the baby dolls.

[@benruniko]

Hahaha yeah yelling at demons is their weakness? “Oh no there is an angry boy yelling at us. Run away!” Lol

[@blastradius7193]

lol.

[@roadworkahead8967]

I really enjoyed the intro very minimalistic but yet so intriguing as it allows the viewers to imagine the scene and I could see it play out just like visually

[@KameikoPhoenix]

Lawrence, Kansas? Sam and Dean Winchester's hometown, hah. Might also be a nod to Supernatural.

[@NivenHedinger]

I do appreciate this being made by 1 person and having the AAA look, quality and feels, although, I must say, if not Chris, this would have been a bit dull to play on your own. Especially towards the middle, the game became repetitive.

[@TheClairesable]

There was also the collecting of 7 pages, kinda like the Slenderman game.

[@wiIdcattm]

Very enjoyable. Almost wish I didn't watch the playthrough. I was very ... compelled to do so. I'm going to wait a few months and buy this game. Hopefully much of the details will be erased from my mind. Cheers, mate.

[@fredd3233]

For such a goofy game, boy does it take itself seriously... At first I thought the opposition between God and the demon(s) was a simple story trope, but obviously the dev really believes in that, and I don't need proselytism in my games. If the dev's next game gets rid of that element (or at least tones it down a notch), I'll be watching, if not I'll pass :) Regarding the game itself, it was decent for a one-man team : not terrible, with a few good jumpscares but amateur voice acting, laughable dialogue, and repetitive environments and mechanics. I like that Anna was animated at the end of the game though! Could have been a bit better by cutting the fat and shorting the length by a good half hour I think.

[@acecream8568]

I think the heavy christian theme can works. Though I feel the demon sounds more like an edgy teenager than ancient demon and the protagonist doesn't feels like a pious person so the religious theme feels shallow and on the nose.

[@fredd3233]

@@acecream8568 Well the first person the dev names in his Thank You list is God, so I think the religious theme is very sincere (way too much, imho ;)

[@randogue8620]

6:00 i thought it was a cult member raising his or her hand

[@soldancer]

It's interesting to see a game that leans so heavily into Christian mythology. I guess most horror games I see Chris play are either Eastern games or have things like generic demons, ghosts, monsters, or zombies. It sort of felt like The Exorcist, in that it uses the Christian lore regarding demons but is not made with squeaky-clean Christian production values (i.e. there's swearing and violence)

[@who6242]

Ohhhhhh boy, a 2hr video. 👌

[@petrmotejlek1427]

He yells at that demon the same way I yell at my cat to stop eating plastic

[@lokicooper4690]

Having to gather keys and run around to figure out which door the key unlocks reminds me of Pineview Drive. At least this place doesn't seem as confusing as Pineview. Can I please have whatever phone that is? The battery life is amazing! Certainly a lot longer than my phone battery. Also, the woman who killed herself, in her note she said "if you see them (the demons), don't let them approach" which was the clue for you to run when they appeared in front of you. I agree with you about the scared "shaking" mechanic. It got irritating having it happen so much. However, I disagree with the blackout/demon chase mechanic as it added a level of challenge to the game as well as being a good scare. You don't know when they're going to happen because you aren't supposed to know. What good would predictable jumpscares or threats be? It forces you to be cautious, and even mindful, rather than just run full tilt around in the game. All-in-all, a pretty solid game.

[@Anthro777]

Not bad for an Indie Game. Better than many pro games.

[@WheresThaHate]

You're not crazy, a video for a game called "Please Comply" was uploaded last night (I'm in Europe) and got taken down in the meantime (I haven't watched it yet either). Usually Chris does that when there is a technical error in the original vid, and re-uploads it the day after. So no worries :)
