Why Can't I Leave? | MY EYES DECEIVE | Dark Indie Horror Game

[@lolotheobserver2696]

This will probably get buried but on the off chance someone does see it, and is curious about the 2nd ending where you keep taking the pills, I just finished it. Spoilers and also massive trigger warning: After the father comes back for the last time and and gives you the apple, you go to sleep and the dream sequence is kind of similar with the chains, but instead of breaking them, you are looping through the bunker over and over and more chains keep appearing. When you wake up, the game tells you it is day 147. You go through the same routine, but you are much more sluggish and slow with all the tasks. When you go to talk to papa, you hear a thump and the screen goes to black- then she asks "why is my belly so big and round?" aaaaand then i wanted to puke. Needless to say, it's pretty obvious that Chris got the "good" ending, even though it's still depressing and disturbing as hell.

Yea this happens every single day. Even worse now, child molesters have been rebranded as "Minor Attracted Persons", because inclusion, means nobody gets excluded. In Afghanistan, seeing 13 and 14 year old pregnant wives, was very common. Our CO basally told us to keep our thoughts to ourselves, cause they where our "allies" No outrage, No marches, no news stories. Nobody says a thing.... NObody bats an eye.

I remember from reading the interview with the girl in the basement that said that she (and maybe her kids?) stared at the sun for the first time and remembers it hurting her eyes. Something to that effect anyway. And I wanna say she was locked up until in her 20’s and her dad had convinced her mom that she ran away or something like that? It’s been awhile since I read about her. And it’s still insane to think of it as a real thing.

Weird and compelling. I went from not trusting the “father” to wondering whether he was protecting her from the police for some reason. And was he really her father? And was there something weird about her so he had to hide her away? No mirrors, were there?

[@maximillian1109]

Nah, the "father" was a pedo who kept the girl locked up and sedated so he could have his way with her while she was asleep. When he was gone for a few days, ot was because the coos had taken him in for interviews as he was most likely a suspect in the girl's abduction.

[@melliethemortician]

I actually wrote an essay in high school about a post apocalyptic world from the views of a child born during the time, they didn't know what certain fruits were, what cds/phones were, or much of what we have today. I ended up getting an award for it and its what I used as my college entrance essay(since i was an english major), this game reminded me of that. But also as someone who suffered childhood abuse it did remind me very much of that, very very depressing at times especially the blindly believing everything the parent says even when it sounds 'not right' it had about the outcome i expected.

The dark, dark bit where you choose not to take your pills, and he comes back. Meaning you were not sedated that time. You had to experience it, conscious. "Is it worth it?" indeed. I bet she was asking herself that as it was happening.

[@vae2036]

@@alexandrialeonora6542They’re referring to the night before. The 6th day when “papa” didn’t come home and the girl chose not to take the pills. She went to bed but she wasn’t as sedated. He had to have come home that night because there is food on the table the next morning. So, she must’ve experienced what had happened to her the night prior. Her dream reflects that in dialogue and the next morning - she still chooses to not take the pills because she no longer trusts “papa”. Even after he comes home, she chooses to pretend to sleep rather than actually taking her pills.

[@BASSOSOVIETICO1987]

I like how the dev approached this very dark and sinister topic. It was really hard to watch, yet, I was still hoping like Chris for a good ending. But for sure it was some sad gameplay...

[@seakittygames]

I've seen a lot of games that cover dark, real world events. The one that comes to mind is that anthology game Chris played where you play as a school shooter. I remember he didn't show that part of the game because he felt it was disrespectful to the victims of actual shootings. I agreed with him. However, even though this game covers a subject that is, at the very least, just as dark as school shootings, I feel like the game and the developers covered it with respect. They showed, and didn't show, just enough to get the story across. I appreciate that. Showing too much would have been disrespectful to real incest and abuse victims, especially considering that this game's scenario has happened in real life with real people and real victims. Chris also handled story this with so much respect. The way he handles dark topics is one of the reasons why he's my favorite let's player and is pretty much the only one I watch anymore. He has tact. Even though he make jokes, he knows when to not make jokes and the jokes he does make aren't offensive. I'm trying to psych myself up to post some videos of myself playing games (not horror cause I can't play horror games, only watch them) and Chris is an inspiration for me.

Saying this honestly, a lot of comments I've seen have disappointmented me and filled me with rage to a large extent. While I've never experienced the type of things in this video, I've experienced child hood trauma, been hurt a gardian figure. I'm sorry a lot of you don't find the story "interesting" enough, but all the suggestions I've see were just disrespectful and a perversion of the subject matter. You were told it handled real life matters that actually happened you wanted an apocalyptic world where the dad wasn't the villain, or the little girl turning into a monster at the end. I'm so sorry that a real life tragedy that happens every day that some victims never escape from bores you. It's heartbreaking how many people can't respect such a real and serious subject because it's too "boring"

[@beyondthegrave124]

Guess the world has just become tired and jaded from seeing the same horrible things happen over and over again. Nothing you can really do about it.

[@samends8863]

It is a game. It's not real. I have childhood trauma too and you're not doing yourself any favors by relating a video game and the reaction to it to yourself. Most people can detach emotionally from it enough to write their comments that make you so angry. It would really do you good if you could do the same. Being angry at others because they don't react the way you want them to is not very healthy. Trying to make them feel guilty is even more unhealthy, because that's not your business either. Please take good care of yourself.

[@angrybadgamer]

Summary: For those who don't know, CJU got the good ending. But for the bad ending however, it is revealed that "papa" have her sedatives so that she would fall asleep heavily and r-word her every night. The cycle also continues until day 143 when the last dialogue is: "papa, why is my belly round and big?"

[@TheAntiGravityMaster]

I think the worst part of it all is just how gently he talks to her, and the fact that it seems to be, by all means, genuine? He brings her an apple. He doesn't really have any reason to do that outside of genuinely caring about her. Which just makes his actions even more twisted. Somehow, to him, this is some kind of twisted form of love.

I'm surprised how quickly you caught on, mentioning Josef Fritzl almost immediately. Christ this game is depressing. It doesn't scare me, but rather it gives me a really profound feeling of sadness, considering all of this really did happen to a real girl in some capacity. Some symbolism I got out of the 2nd dream sequence: the "apple" that looks like a white raspberry could represent the victim, pure and innocent as it is depicted as white. The surrounding darkness combined with the very phallic shaped monster that represents her depraved father adds to her despair, completely lost and hopeless as she's raped by the man who should be protecting her every single day. Even now, I'm just realizing that the reason why she washes herself each day wasn't because she's dirty or anything, but because she's "dirty" down below after each night papa comes down.

[@mewphase]

my first thought, and i will edit this after ( i'm at 14:36) is that the girl is actually the one going outside and collecting the food, and the father/father voice is just in her head? kind of like DID, a protector taking care of the one that needs it. edit: oh boy was i so wrong-

“WARNING THIS INVOLVES A TRUE STORY THAT THIS GAME IS BASED ON!!!!” This is game is based of a true story like it said. A man by the name of Josef Fritzl was refitting a door for his cellar and asked his 18 year old daughter Elizabeth Fritzl for help. He then knocked her unconscious and locked her in this cell. For the next 24 years that would be the only thing she would see. Josef lied to his wife saying she ran away and joined a cult. During Elizabeth’s time in the cellar. She was assaulted and sexually abused. A result for this she had given birth 7 times with one child sadly dying. Josef’s response to this was telling his wife that she had left the kids on there doorstep saying she couldn’t care for them. on April 26, 2008, aged 42. She was able to escape from the basement after one of her children fell unconscious and Josef agreed to get her medical care. She had told staff which and told the police and resulting in Josef’s arrest. Elisabeth was given a new name following the trial, with strict laws to prevent her identity being revealed. She now lives with her six surviving children in a tiny hamlet in the Austrian countryside, which also cannot be identified and only referred to by the country's media as 'Village X' The children, aged between 20 and 34 as of February 2023, reportedly slept in rooms with doors permanently open after undergoing weekly therapy sessions to eliminate the traumas they suffered inside the cellar.

I didn't go through something as bad as in the game and I was told as someone going through so much abuse and the hands of a parent figure that "I knew it was wrong" and "I should of told someone" saying when I dealt with from the age of 6 to the age 11 and being neglected emotionally and mentally for as long as I could remember. I'm 21 suffering from depression, severe anxiety to the point I can't hardly walk outside, fear of anyone touching me, and zero trust for authority figure or family in my life. All of that, even after therapy, and medicine. It's not easy, and it never will be, especially knowing I will never trust anyone fully ever in my life because I don't know what to. That is what children like me, and like that live with.

@@SD-dg9lj As a childhood trauma survivor, I agree that childhood abuse sets people up for a lot of challenges. Clearly we should be able to agree that its very individual how each person copes. I can understand that its generally accepted that children are resilient and may be able to fare batter in the long run (after trauma). Unfortunately it depends on the type of abuse, duration, age, as well as whether or not the child ever got closure or instead blamed. Im sure other factors come into play..

To anyone who questions it, this might sadly be an inspiration on a real story. The Elizabeth Fritzl case. I’m warning, the real case is more disturbing (same theme but just, more) so search about it but don’t if you are delicate with the information

[@GLEPPPPP]

This game makes me feel so sick, I don’t think I’ve ever felt like crying over a game before. I think it being based on an IRL case just makes it worse. 😕

Fun fact: When I was playing, I thought us saying ‘It’s actually you!’ meant the password was actually him, not that he was really back. 😭😭

Ending one where you continue taking the "antidote" is all the more disturbing. "Why do i feel nauseous every morning , papa?" or somethign to that effect. It's worded differently in the roblox remake to not get taken down. the story is that the girl has been taking sedatives and the 'papa' has been coming down every night and SA'ing her.

[@dizzydeezie]

In the original, she says "Why is my belly so big, papa?" In the roblox version she says "Why do I feel nauseous every morning, papa?" 🤮

[@alexandrialeonora6542]

Unfortunately, I know from direct experience (and the experience of my mother and a friend), what kinds of monsters pose as our loving family members. People who, on the outside, seem to be the friendliest and funniest. But what they choose to do to their vulnerable family members, the ones who depend on them, behind closed doors........😞 The hardest part about watching this game is knowing that (aside from the "being trapped in a bunker bit"), there are many, many monsters out there like this, in real life. And a lot of us know them.

[@garyho2032]

I found this game to be quite disheartening and unsettling. Initially, I expected the game's setting to be similar to that of Dead Rising, with its zombie-infested world. In my imagination, the protagonist would be infected and rely on daily doses of specific medicine to prevent turning into a zombie. This would explain why her dad or other family members (whom I thought would be present) had to keep their distance to avoid getting infected themselves. It's disappointing that the actual story turned out to be so disturbing. On a positive note, I have always enjoyed watching CJU plays horror games, and I appreciate the effort you put into them.

[@ShowMeLoveFilms]

*SPOILER WARNING* Honestly I wasn't expecting this to be about abuse. I thought it was a tactic to make us THINK that's where it was going but then boom, world has ended and we're part of the last survivors. Kinda wish it went that direction instead.

[@imhotalk]

The game reminded me about the book "Room" by Emma Donoghue. But at least the book's character wasn't an ignorant child left alone with a monster in human skin. I think the atmosphere was done well, a little too well in fact. I didn't really see anything and I feel deeply disturbed and uncomfortable.

[@imhotalk]

Probably the most heartbreaking thing is the amount of comments to videos like this one of people saying they've experienced it themselves. My heart bleeds seeing more and more of them...

@@FranP93 The world we live in is a sick place. Here in the US, 1 in 10 children experience sexual abuse and assault every year (Department of Health and Human Services, 2022; Downing, 2021). It doesn’t always happen the way it did in the game, but sexual abuse and assault is disgusting no matter what the circumstances. And when a game treats the subject with respect and gets you thinking like this one does, it’s easy to see why the comment section would feel like a safe space to commiserate.

this is horror, the horror which is real and can happen. Games like these include stuff like this and binding of issac, a game where a boy is lead to believed he’s a devilish monster and fights his own demons and terrors in a locked little box with his imagination only to die of suffocation, this game goes on about a young girl locked in a basement with her father who makes her take pills that make her fall asleep so her father could do “things” to her. This kind of stuff can happen, and in this world it’s not very surprising
