Yume Nikki, Omori, Rain World, The Cat Lady, Control, SCP Containment Breach, Night In The Woods, Don't Escape Series, Kitty Horrorshows Other Games, Yames' Other Games, etc. And those are just the tip of the iceberg!) 1:23:17 Outro 1:23:47 Patrons

[@helloagain.andagain.andagain]

i wouldnt say rain world but goddamn the dont escape series is a fantastic choie

[@creditsunknown7974]

I second Yume Nikki and Control! Though I feel like the latter may be a bit, quite ironically, on the expositive side of things and less precisely horror but the former would be WONDERFUL for this channel!

[@TheBananaBox]

As someone who loves Fallen London's vibes but couldn't get into Sunless Sea, is there any kind of mod or setting that makes fuel/rations or whatever go further? I played for about two hours and felt like I was barely able to leave the starting port without having to turn back immediately. There wasn't any time to actually enjoy the spooky vibes

[@arbitrary2868]

@@TheBananaBox There are plenty of mods on Nexus that would fit that bill. However, I played the game on PS4, so my experience was almost vanilla (almost because I have the Zubmariner dlc). The main thing to understand is that your first captain is essentially a guinea pig. They will die eventually, so use their life to figure out what ports sell what goods. From my personal experiences (and without spoilers), following the coast south will eventually bring you to a fixed place that sells Fuel for a decent price. Going east from there should bring you to ports that sell Supplies for decent prices. At every port, check if they have a store. Try to keep a mental note on prices. Being a merchant is a good way to make money early on. I'd keep my eyes out for Darkdrop Coffee and Sapphire prices. I'd also recommend one of your first purchases be an Avid Suppressor, as it will help you throughout the rest of the game. Early game is a bit of a grind for Echoes, but trust me, you'll eventually get there through trade and story missions. It ain't easy, but my goodness is the game great once you start figuring things out and get enough to buy upgrades. Hope I helped, but if you have more questions, feel free to ask!

"job simulator horror" I too have both waking and sleeping nightmares about the abhorrent and futile nature of day to day working life.

[@JaydOfAllTrades]

The game very close to perfect for the Librarian, complete with comfy safepoints, aquatic horror and the abyssal depths, and creepy fish. Way to go for picking this out, Chris, and thanks man.

[@kiki-ll4uk]

Man I am SO excited to see the librarian play dredge! I love this game and I think it really fits his channel

[@PeterBee911]

Man, I'm almost sad to have played this game, because I would have loved to discover it with The Librarian.

[@lebitelexie9350]

Simply love horror games that takes their time to ease you into a seemingly innocent routine before the creepy begins creeping up on you. Allows you to feel the world and get into it!

[@PairOfCatEyes]

>clearly a quest item >immediately sells it

[@teddashgrant2]

Hell yeah, been thinking of this ever since I picked the game up. It's a perfect combination.

[@ErzengelDesLichtes]

3:35 “there are horrors untold…” Wait, have you played Stories Untold? You need to play Stories Untold. It’s right up your dark alley.

[@SynNet308]

I'm so glad he got this game one of my favorites

[@bard2874]

As soon as I saw the title, I knew you'd love this game. The descriptive language in this almost brings me back to reading Skulduggery Pleasant for the first time, which is an experience I'll never forget. I love when writers can fit such intricate details into almost any scene, even something meant to be super quick and panicked like a fight scene. This game gives you ample time to soak in the details of whatever you're reading, before throwing you straight back into the situation at hand, whatever that may be. Very excited to see you experience the rest of this game, and keep up the incredible work you do on these videos. And that doesn't just mean cutting them together to make them as succinct and entertaining as they are, but I also love the emphasis you give to each line of text you read. And that comes from someone who hates having to listen to people reading out loud, 99% of the time I'd much rather read at my own pace. The way you read is quick enough to be engaging, but also allows yourself and your viewers the chance to soak in every word. Also, the delivery of that "sir, this is a Wendy's" at 53:57 was fucking amazing.

[@SirAroace]

*game tells Librarian to not sell the buckle* --> *sell it anyway* --> *it a a quest item* . Classic.

I remember I had one episode of that tug boat show on VHS when I was young, I remember the plot being quite distressing, with imminent death for the characters coming from a spilled shipment of logs or something

"Getting over it with mind and body" received at 1:15:03 sounds too similar to "Getting over it with Bennett Foddy"

Dredge? And The Librarian? No way!!! I'm so ready to binge the soon-to-come series!!!

[@Neawoulf]

Awesome game! One of my personal indie highlights this year. Also fits perfectly the creepy and comfy concept.

[@D4rkcjinsc2]

Just an early word of advice, if/when you come across strange hooded figures you can interact with, do not talk to them at all yet. Talking to them starts timed missions that require late game fish and the hooded figures die if you talk to them and don't get them their fish quick enough.

[@D4rkcjinsc2]

@@Cassius40k Oh that's a relief. I hadn't been keeping up with the game much because I was waiting for Librarian to play it, but it's good to hear they made those quests actually doable now without pre planning.

Great vid, super excited for the series! Try using your foghorn to scare away the birds and also to reach out and check to see if the ships out treading water at night are truly other sailors, or something else.

[@farcryfanatic362]

I'm hyped to see Librarian play this, after this is done I think that Signalis is right up your alley Librarian, retro style survival horror with psychological elements that make you wonder, I heavily recommend it

[@retroactivated]

This is insane. I had just finished this game, and now I get to watch you experience it. I absolutely adored it, and I’m sure you will too.

[@DrrZed]

Gives off Sunless Sea vibes.

SOOOO Glad youre playing this!! Love this game!!

[@Smeelio]

I've been wanting to play this, or better yet watch someone play it (because I'm a big baby when it comes to nautical horror), but haven't had the time and/or no-one I care about has done a proper full playthrough of it. So I'm particularly happy to see you doing a full series of it, especially as it's PERFECT for you from what I've seen!

[@rebeccala1998]

So so so happy to see you playing this! Such a fun game that's so pretty to look at and experience, the music plays such an important part in changing how you feel as the game progresses. Can't wait to see more of this!!

[@ToozdaysChild]

I enjoyed this game, but I really would like to see the ideas there more fleshed out. Obviously there's only so much a small indie team can do, but there's so much potential here.

[@dimitrijkarousis8592]

Oh God I love this game, excellently made, also the workshop is accessible through the dlc for the game, it's nothing much but it has a special engine and an item that increases aberration catch chance, if you have the money to spare for it I suggest you buy it, helps the devs after all, also don't worry about the father quest btw, the reward was just a research point, valuable sure but not life ruining as they are able to be found randomly while dredging, it's a good thing you learned about failing quest though, if unique cargo is caught in the destroyed parts of your craft it's lost overboard like other cargo, this doesn't apply to artifacts btw, also certain quests can be lost by taking too long, there are four npcs that won't be around forever if you take too long, dont worry about which ones they are though, you'll know the moment you see them Edit: btw the rocks you got visions from only give them at high panic, also prepare yourself for a blow with some of them, this game REALLY likes messing with the player Also also, you should save and try to sail off the map at some point, you'll get a lovely surprise

[@RandomRebelSoldier]

Just for the record, the time limit for the hooded figure quests was removed in one of the game updates, and rightfully so.

[@admiralekul8303]

If you found Theodore tugboat a creepy show then I can't recommend the old show "Tugs" highly enough, it was actually produced by the same production crew as Thomas the tank engine back then and production value was absurd and furthermore the spooky episodes are quite chilling for a show about boats.The dozen or so episodes made are all available on youtube restored and in HD.

love your videos

[@TheIrishTexan]

Know this isn't a Stalker video, but just popped into my mind, remembering your playthrough of one of them. I'd hope you plan on getting to the other Stalker games at some point, and Stalker 2 when it comes out? Also, while the main themes aren't horror or super creepy, the Homeworld series can have creepy and existentially dreadful moments at time, lot of themes of loneliness and unknown threats out among the stars, dealing with the remains of an ancient empire that you don't know much about or what wiped them out and some other things. The soundtracks are pretty solid for those uneasy feelings. Not sure if you'd be interested in it, but it might be worth something. Also just feel like that series doesn't have enough eyes on it, almost feels like a hidden gem with how infrequently I hear it ever brought up. OH! Edit for another thought. Barotrauma. Don't know much about it myself, but from the videos I've seen, it might be right up your alley. It's another aquatic eldritch horror game, but with submarines and having to fight off the horrors you encounter on an alien ocean.
