I still can't believe how Chris' Channel doesn't have seven figure sub counts already. This is such high quality content and witty comment and my absolute favourite channel on youtube. The audio mixing is great (!!! so few channels get this right!), the brightness for dark indie games is always on spot and the intros / outros are simply delightful. The thumbnails are that recognizable that I catch myself clicking on every youtube video with a blue frame without checking the uploader first - and that without silly arrows or weird photoshopped situations that don't even happen in the game. Also the first channel on my list that "fixed" the thumbnail when the rounded corners returned from the 90s. I also wanted to point out that the amount of commentary is just perfect. There are so many people that just don't talk except for "oooh scary!" and so many other people who talk THAT MUCH that they destroy every atmosphere the games try to create. Many use videos as personal vlogs and tag it "gameplay"... Plus, there's always the link to the game itself in the description as well as links to the "correct" playlist. It's just perfect! And the facecam highlight-compilation is an excellent way of doing a video with facecam for horror (and other) games. Especially when the ocean bestows its grace upon us and sends us its shiniest knight in red shell like it did recently. I'll stop rambling now. Sir Lobster; I love your content. Thank you for doing this and sharing it with the world.

[@trickery2268]

The ending felt just a little unsatisfying to me - felt a bit like suddenly pulling out a new power/move/idk when there was no indication you would be stuck in a loop back to Fancyland like that - but the rest of the game was quite tense, all the moreso when the Manifestation popped up! But hey, it's always enjoyable seeing a new video from you, CJU.

[@claudiagalasso5530]

There was a small hint: when the main character gets out of his car at the end of the game, thinking he will go back into his apartment building, you can see the same cracks on the floor of the parking lot as the ones in Fancy Land.

[@theowlsarenotwhattheyseem476]

CJU, the videos you make have genuine value. Please keep making them. Your channel is awesome.

[@Obanesharvest]

The voice acting in this game is really refreshing. I've gotten used to hearing AI voices in indi projects 😂 but the VA in this game killed it !

[@NGMonocrom]

A lot better than I thought it would be. But was not expecting THAT ending.

[@dumpsterProductions]

[1:05:11] Yeah, you are right, Cju! Those symbols are stamped in the entity chest. That must be a pocket dimension portal.

[@gr_pillar]

The end makes no sense to me... Would make more sense if the monster was the manifestation of all twisted desires, which wants to "play" with you. That way, each floor could get a different monster. And in the end there would be a combined abomination.

[@hanneserwing]

Was I being too cynical when I predicted the ending plot point, like after the first famous contributor? You're right Chris, people in power are probably more twisted than the average person.

[@tamaradavis3693]

I'll stand there right beside you, being cynical. I figured it out at nearly the same place as you.

[@dracoinsanity]

Yeah sadly I was the same way. "Bigtime movie director contributed to something shady? I already know where this is going..." :(

[@gothclown9013]

oh same, the minute we found that first celebrity contributer i was like "yeah this is going to be some epstein type stuff..."

[@swampityswamp]

yeah i predicted the ending after watching Quiet on Set :\

[@michellelozano1842]

I liked this one mostly, I would have liked a nicer ending tho. The commentary was excellent! 😂 "This is Sparta said in such a lackadaisical way multiple times gave me the giggles. And your smile when you realized you needed a fuse... Priceless, thanks for the entertainment Chris ❤

[@glassdiamond2185]

I really enjoyed this one! Love the old school style games.

[@claudiagalasso5530]

I really enjoyed this one! I actually didn't mind at all it had a slower pace at times, and for me, I really appreciate it that you don't edit out too much. I find that you always find a good balance about what to leave in and what to cut out. Thanks for another great playthrough Chris! 💗👍🏼 Btw, when the main character gets out of his car at the end of the game, thinking he will go back into his apartment building, you can see the same cracks on the floor of the parking lot as the ones in Fancy Land, hinting at what's to come.

[@TheMadAfrican1]

I do really like the graphical style this game has going. It's just stylised enough so that you can easily tell what things are, and far enough away from the typical "PSX" type graphics that it is doing its own thing.

[@melissatheminx4710]

Pound shop Silent Hill, but I really liked it. From the migraine inducing colour scheme, to the mall/amusement park Silent Hill throwbacks, and the monster being a manifestaton of guilt and pain,..it was definately an SH2 inspired game,..but,..the main characters voice actor was actually really good, I think... he brought a no face, stick figure character to life and gave him a personality,..a quite likeable one actually. A decent game, made better than average by Chris's commentary. Thanks for the entertainment Chris. x

This was a good game, I predicted what was going on, but the story still hits hard. That ending was trash tho. I loved the art and that no-one had a face but the monster, audio logs were well done, voice acting was believable, and the atmosphere was pretty damn good as well. My favourite bits were honestly the chases, and the kicking. Ahahahaa.

Great video chris! The ending of the game however was a letdown especially compared to how good the rest of the game was.

[@MOMMARAPTOR]

I liked this one, like the style, good voice acting, good story, I know that story all too well, if you live in America or not you know about the Elites, celebrities, having well, child "Rings", underground, all over the world, that's what this whole story reminded me of, the monster was the suffering, and i wish it could manifest in real life towards the evil Elites, celebs. Sorry to sound so dark, but thankfully we have you, Chris!!🥰 you can make anything scary or dark funny and great!! Much love!! 🥰🥰

[@furrowingowl5906]

There's a perverse part of me that wants there to be a twist ending where it's revealed that the protagonist's father ran off with someone else, and the spooky theme park is just the child's attempt at rationalizing it. (...and I'm sure I'm not projecting my own issues as a child of the 1980's divorce boom. Why do you ask?)

[@bondavebond]

This was cute & fun, pretty tense at times. I wish it had a happy ending though. The monster getting the protagonist at the end is too cliché now. It feels more rewarding to have your game time pay off at the end.

[@pebblesredjackson]

The mazes on each floor were very challenging because there were no maps available. Great gameplay 👍🏿.

[@Sparksterchan]

That was fun! Nice atmosphere, and weirdly enough, the sound of the doors actually freaked me out, lol. I was tense and I wasn't even playing!

[@2am_cinderella]

I already watched someone's else playthrough but I think yours was way more intense and it didn't feel as slow, even during the beginning or the puzzles. Your commentary is always good too ! I wish we still had 🦞 CJU though, he'll be missed 😢

[@gargantula3274]

"And if you want to find out what happened to YOUR dad..." Jesus dude, absolutely maniacal... lol

[@TheHolySwordOfLight]

Still don't know what the monster is, where it came from and what it wants and what happened to your dad and what they were doing at Fancyland, maybe it was human experiments 😮

[@PantheraMorag]

I doubt my father never was a part of my life bc he got lost at an abandoned amusement park, but I guess I can't categorically say this game isn't what happened 🤔 (this is a comment based on cju's invitation to find out what happened to my dad, I never actually felt a sense of loss over not having a father and I don't care what he's been up to)

[@melliethemortician]

Im sorry this is hilarious imagine that tho randomly hes lost in an amusement park that reminds me of 'the dog ate my homework' like yeah bud just say you didnt wanna do it.

[@RelearningPeace]

I clicked the link in the description and my dad is still missing Chris!!

[@fredd3233]

Yeah I'll be honest, I kept hoping for this game to pick up, and I started to lose interest soon after the half of the video. Also Idk how but I guessed the ending pretty quickly (I just didn't know how the creature fit into all of this). As Chris said, this probably needed a little bit of editing (and a slightly quicker pace). PS : those doors were so fucking loud.

[@Xanderfied]

Really ?!?! Finally! He disappeared one night when I was about 10. Now I can find out where the hell he went to get that gallon of milk.

[@suburbantimewaster9620]

Nothing I love more than an indie horror game!

[@StompinPaul]

I'm with you, from what I see the game is pretty good, but not great. I like the slower pace in principle, the slow build helps add to the tension. I think they did a good job making the monster creepy and limiting how much you see it to preserve that. But then for each thing they did right, it seemed like there was something that was wrong. The slow pace needed some distraction or variety in the beginning to keep interest up. The monster and the mystery surrounding the place are very disconnected, almost like one's and afterthought, though I can't tell exactly which it would be. The twist ending feels unearned, and more ticking off a horror trope checkbox than really fitting anything that's going on.

[@ValentinaDiNapoli-bh7ds]

This is Sparta 😂

[@haizuru1]

[@veram1803]

Thanks for sharing, you're the best!

[@shayoko6]

there was never any chance of exposing what happened, the story already told us things were covered up despite all the disappearances the police probably would arrest/kill you if you did try..... Overall- this was pretty mediocre. a lot of silly puzzles and fetch quests with an info dump on the last floor. silly reason for monster existing since it would be far more common if that was all it took. not scary the vast majority of the time. it didn't have a good focus, just a mashup of ideas which led to a okay experience at best.

[@SushieeSlushy]

Like 20 min in and I’ve seen him pick up coins and read papers that don’t say much… hoping it’s just a slow burn kinda game… feels like nothing is happening right now lol or not sure what the games have to do with his missing father? Still a bit intriguing 22:06 look at that … things are getting interesting!!!! Slow burn it is 😊 One thing that I’m kinda disappointed about and Chris sounded a bit too was like it would be cool if the character could zip line down or somehow get on a ride or something at least maybe one or two just to make it a bit more entertaining for the player

[@thewisepowerchair2369]

How did he end up at Fancyland again when he was back home? Doesn't make sense.

[@Magistrixification]

So, I have a theory about the ending. Noticed that there's basically zero penalty for dying? What if you can't escape Fancyland because you are dead?

Yeah , for me , personally , the name doesn't really match the place....I would under stand calling it fancy land if it was all Posh looking & more for adults than kids but hardly any of it is Posh looking.....too geared towards kids , teens , & young at heart with the colors and things.
