Your eyes may be misleading you, as the game isn't called The Turd 😂

[@lolotheobserver2696]

Dude I came straight to the comments to say this- I was like man they’re not very confident in their game are they? 🤔

[@NightBazaar]

But move a couple of letters and PRESTO! It's The Turd! 💩

[@cupid3033]

are you sure about that.

[@sarahjoshi927]

In the intro I was holy hell we gonna play as inspector gadget.

[@synaesthesia2010]

WOWZERS!!!

Yeah. Haha. Looking for this

[@womanhood]

so a trud is a shapeshifting mischief demon that induces nightmares, implying that the events of the game were all a nightmare. i think the player character is the girl whose diary we read, and her nightmare is about her school experiences that lead her to either literally murder a classmate or fantasize about murdering a classmate. the specifics are unclear but learning about the trud helped me frame the plot a little differently, and i really enjoyed it!

[@ashleighmikaelson507]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the dude in the beginning looked like inspector gadget! And kudos to you for being so patient with games that are like this. I would have quit in the middle of it.

[@onibeebee]

i think i understand (the bit at the beginning makes no sense to me in how it relates but anyway) so essentially we are playing as the girl who was bullied, and due to this she began to fantasise about killing them. now i think she did kill her main bully, and as she said it was an accident, so i think that the black ink is like her guilt over it, and potentially the reason why the hand was removed (the hand that pushed the bully)? now whether or not she and the other guy end up killing anyone else is unclear at the beginning she has white eyes, so she either died, almost died, or its a sign of possession. the trud induces nightmares, so of course it would pick something traumatic for the victim. the school changing shape and style was a really interesting choice, and i thought it sort of showed that feeling of being new and not belonging really well. although it does confuse things for the player so i think there should have been more leading so mischief shapeshifty demon, typically are more game oriented then for a goal, so it provides what is essentially an opportunity for her to live or not, she just has to relive the worst time in her life in nightmare form

[@AlexOlinkiewicz]

From the first comments, I wasn't the only one that miss read the title as The Turd

[@csouter02]

Another favorite commenter lol def looked like the Turd when I first opened it

[@NobalGaming]

The game despawned the room while you were leaving but placed your axis on the wrong side of the wall leading you to fall to your death.

[@anisims1569]

Funny, in the beginning you said "I have many questions" and literally none of them got answered. The game only caused more unanswered questions to be asked..I didn't understand any of what was going on. It has potential but that's about it...

[@zackBGn]

So, did inspector Gadget from the intro cutscene have anything to do with the "plot" or did the developer just want to showcase how cinematic they can make a bunch of low-quality models?

[@christianross5304]

Trying to spice it up ig lol

[@phuggard]

Haha, I thought that too 😅. I wonder if the Trud was somehow spawned from the violence at the start of the game and then made it's way to school. The game doesn't seem to explain it.

[@christianross5304]

@@phuggard game doesn't really explain anything, just like here ya go figure it out 😂

[@Leon-mk1wn]

I knew im not the only one wholl think bout inspector gadget 😂

[@phaeronseherekh1754]

besides being very cinematic I guess it shows that it might be a threat or something

[@JustinCase-ey4ok]

This has got to be one of most unintentionally funny games I've ever seen.

I do have to admit that I love these goofy indie games! Your commentary makes every video great, but I really love the genre of not quite polished to down right bad indie games. You always give a fair to generous assessment and are so supportive with your constructive feedback. Thanks for the many many hours of entertainment!

[@TheKevphil]

I like your name: perfectly describes my cat.

[@marycanary86]

the demons face sits smack dab in the middle of everything that freaks me out. and i loathe the sound it makes LOL

[@ShadowzGSD]

i am struggling today, i read the title as The Turd!

[@NightBazaar]

There was the guy laying face down on the toilet bowl.

[@Aguyfromindio]

Feels like playing Phasmophobia because the high school uses all the same assets

[@majik732007]

2:25 NO DONT KILL INSPECTOR GADGET!

[@jpvielleux]

Those locker slits were perfect for censoring the giant baby faced man's hinder.

[@edwardp5748]

lets now reflect on the opening cut scene.. and everything else really. they were like, "i have a few disconnected ideas, so lets mash them together and make a game".

[@k8h991]

Lol yep....

[@blumiu2426]

The bugs in this game make it all the more interesting. Wait...those aren't glitches. What is this madness?

[@rosssnyder4490]

The game with the similar gym layout was Hawthorn, a much less confusing & better game. The playthrough you did of it is one of my favorite let's plays.

[@ceeceedotme]

I can't be the only one who read the title wrong!

[@lokicooper4690]

Interesting game. What did the intro have to do with the girl in the school? That's the real question. The game was pretty directionless, making it fairly lackluster, and it did nothing to really explain what the hell was going on. Very odd game, and not in an odd Vidas game way. Commentary makes the video though. Thanks for the entertainment, Chris!

[@jbonesrva9679]

Did anyone else get major Inspector Gadget vibes from the guy in the beginning

[@JustinCase-ey4ok]

I don't think the Trud is a demon. It's actually a vengeful spirit cursed to spend eternity searching for the person who stole his feet.

[@NightBazaar]

Its feet were pretty pointy.

[@mikewade777]

cju found his feet up a Mountain in another game following the footprints.

[@laurawaterfield838]

Inspector Gadget. Man sure looks like him. Totally enjoyed. Funny and entertaining. Thanks Cju.

[@marushard4974]

Inspector Gadget meets the paranormal...in a very confusing way XD

[@tammievawter9477]

"I don't really know what that was...." Yup. Thanks for your patience though in playing thru it!

[@ElectricDog10]

That means if you die, that's on you, since you don't plan on saving at all.

[@purriouscat]

Right? After that first spontaneous death, I don't think I'd trust the game not to bug out randomly. Brave man.

[@DarkwaveMistress]

Maybe after getting the tape you had to go to the sphere that "acts like a speaker"? Anyway, I don't think that would have made more sense 😂

[@marcfromearth]

The guy stumbling away from the shootout at the very beginning is a dead ringer for Inspector Gadget. 😂 😂 😂

[@Galejro]

1:41 so this is why we dont have more episodes of Inspector Gadget XD

[@MidnightSportster]

The "glitches" aside from the insta-kill at the beginning, definitely add to the game, it was jarring but in a good way, going through a door you were never sure if what you saw was where you were going or if you were going to snap somewhere else. I dug it.

[@flawed1]

I think that was Schrodinger‘s locker

[@Nyctonaut]

Is it just me or have there been a ton of "trapped" in a school type games lately? Not that I'm complaining, anytime I get to watch a Cju playthrough is a good time so you could play Tetris and I'd still watch. ;) Still my favorite channel. Thanks!

[@andrekusumayadi4820]

00:38 *Phone rang* CJU : "Is this The Trud speaking?" I chuckled. Great humour, man, love that! :)

[@pokerface7840]

When he throws the wrench at the demon 😂

[@Scriptor13]

A confusing game from beginning to end. Maybe the title is a synthesis of "turd" and "crud." That would explain some things. 😬 😂 Thanks, CJU, for making games like this fun to watch.

[@khajiithaswares7336]

I thought the same, lol

[@shadowjudge921]

I have to admit the animation and art style are nice. But the creature itself probably needs work.

Dude you make my anxiety really freakin' spike. Wow you take some real chances man. I love it!

[@skylx0812]

Perhaps the player experiences the school through the perception of someone possessed by the Durt since she's very near to being its next victim. Judging by the diary entries there's a lot of negativity in the school (...shocker). The growing tree may be how it sees the girl. Her escaping into the light may be her breaking free of its influence on her perception.

[@Tay-pt3lo]

Oh shit, I didn't expect to see inspector gadget

[@chuckyb3211]

The guy is the suit at the beginning looked like inspector gadget

Inspector Gadget's drug trip.

That library looked so familiar in another small indie horror, then I'm thinking I'm sure the whole school and that is out of a phone game had called the janitor.

[@Beragon]

I liked the ending. it was refreshing to actually get out of the school. that never happens.

[@TheKevphil]

Very good game, Chris! They even had decent figure animation in places!

[@NightBazaar]

It seems like sometimes Indy games don't always have a sensible ending, except to mess with your head leaving you confused as to what happened and what it means. Sometimes there is no meaning. If anything, it seems you end up back where it all started with the assumption that you're reliving it again and again?

[@TheMadAfrican1]

Trenchcoat Trilby Man is THE dorkiest-looking dude I've ever seen. And why does the damn inventory fart at you every time you open it?

[@Aeroczema]

Within the first two minutes of gameplay CJU gets shoved out of the world and killed - I tab out to check the title for "terrible". Fun to watch! The stuttered breathing of the trud was very unsettling.

Pretty intense game! I wished they would've provided some sinister music when the Trud is nearby. Like they did in the 2nd half of the game. 👍

[@rayzermaniac5218]

When the "No way out" sign was on the wall there was an "E" press option there to either pick something up or interact with it. Also considering that this came is called The Trud, the Trud itself is probably the least threatening aspect of the game, plus it feels like it isn't even part of the plot, just something put there to provide a moderate threat to the player.

[@karascene13]

David Lynch called... He said this game was too weird, and made no sense. He wants this hour of his life back. 😄 But I say, thx for playing Chris.
