The games of Mike Klubnika present a number of horror-filled world beyond our comprehension, from rusted, decaying superstructures, to ominous psychological thrillers that take place within alternate dimensions. Today, we take a look at each and every world in Mike Klubnika's catalogue with a canonical date, and make sense of this sinister timeline!

Correction:
38:41 In actuality, there is another secret ending to Carbon Steel in addition to this one. In the secret ending, the tram-driver helps the player character escape the facility after viewing a secret floppy disk. There is no change in the overall potential for continuity between the games as a result of this.

You Sellout.

[@semidecent4395]

That infinite survey game really gave me the creeps. I was expecting something cosmic or superhuman, but no, the horrors of being confined and isolated for 50 years is honestly more terrifying then the spiders in the Control Room Alpha game.

[@everberon]

Definately. I think it's one of his creepiest for sure.

[@theGVS360]

No those spiders weren’t even Australian.

[@CorporalCargopants1749]

Then it’s INSANE that almost 19,000 years passed in increments of a few days… Assuming that it’s 6 days, that’s over a million participants assuming the machine’s on at all times- and that’s just one cubicle Who KNOWS how many poor souls got run through that questionnaire…

[@sharpfang]

Definitely not. If you mash it at 10 answers per second, you'll go through 9mln questions in 10 days - and have about 400 billion questions from penalties. If you take careful 15 seconds per question and never make any mistakes, without breaks you'd be done in over a year. But no breaks and no mistakes are impossible assumptions.

That's a REALLY good point!

[@sulphurspanic26]

@@everberon I'm betting on them being pressure treated humans, that's why they have human faces. No idea why "pressure treating" turns things into spiders though. Anyways the experiments in Carbon Steel take place after the player bombs the alien planet in System Upkeep, and the orb thingy from Control Room Alpha is retrieved. Timeline wise SU takes place directly after CRA so I think it's the most likely to be a direct sequel, after the orb is discovered they attempt to negotiate with it, but that fails and SU takes place. The Orb is eventually retrieved and the events of Carbon Steel take place, eventually more and more pressure treated humans are created and they break out making the earth uninhabitable. Edited to be more clear.

[@hubguy]

⁠@@sulphurspanic26Could be that the alien creatures live somewhere under immense pressure, so they hope to move humans on to a similar state of existence. There’s an underlying weakness of the human body that’s acknowledged in having your mind put into a machine body to withstand the 5 simulated decades of survey

[@Justadude780]

I’m fascinated by horror that doesn’t rely on gore to be scary. The games like Tartarus engine and infineural get me so much more than games where blood and guts are everywhere because the most primal fear, is that what we cannot grasp

[@everberon]

I completely agree

[@Ava-uq5dh]

Absolutely agreed with you two, it's why I can't get into PuppetCombo because that's all just blood and slasher stuff, I get the draw, but compressed screams and blood n guts with jumpscares around each corner, reused music all over can feel, though scary in the moment lacking in depth. Completely my personal opinion as I can see why some are scared by it - the idea of a serial killer or your grandma betraying you or a pregnant cadaver murderer zombie demon, all good ideas that are freaky! Just not nearly as compelling in the long term as the strange grungy science fiction horror esque style of Klubnika's stuff with a focus on psychological techo-cosmic horror is a real mainstay that grips me tightly.

[@BucketBoatable]

The buildings being all derelict and rusty is kinda like gore for inanimate objects.

[@Hyde-dg7ef]

we call that psychological horror. horror that doesnt make you shit your pants bc of something rearranging your guts but rather it messes with your mind or has disturbing implications

I love how every one of these essays is someone gushing over Mike's aesthetics and philosphy and I'm just over here pounding shots and playing roulette with my best friend

[@thebluehat6814]

i imagine there'd be solid evidence for carbon steel to be taking place in 1998 as the email date is signed as just *98* which was prevalent in computing technology at the time as the only signed value for the year are the last two numbers, in this case 98, whereas the prefix to 98 was a text string "19" that would just get glued on to the end to display the whole date. seeing as the computers still use floppy discs, i'd say it's fair to say the game takes place in 1998.

[@everberon]

That's a fair point. I'm super up-in-the-air on it still and of course, it's certainly not able to be ruled out.

[@vsoriginalpoetry6696]

I think the black shadow figure is you looking in, because the red beam thing is preventing you from progressing the same way it prevents the black shadowy figure. Especially given how Untitled VHS is in general.

[@tru1ytrashffs]

In the 1M+ High Rollers teaser for BR there's a message that shows up on screen for a frame that says "Remember August 05 1998" after the player shoots themselves. August 5, 1998 would place Carbon Steel 2 weeks before BR. The other ending to CS is acquired by using a core capsule that has an "X" scratched on the rim, creating an explosion where the scientists are behind the door and leaving an open chasm for whatever is being pressure treated down below to make its way up to the surface.

[@everberon]

That is some REALLY good thinking... great catch!

[@tru1ytrashffs]

@@everberonOn that same note, from what I've seen the sample capsule with the engraving will show up on the last day with the deepest drawn creature from the pit. And following the aformentioned explosion, could also be the "shutdown" in the BR ARG that was used as the key for the cypher that was so graciously provided by Volta.

[@alanmonteros6432]

So from what I am getting the creatures in Carbon Steel manage to get out, which eventually results in them taking over Earth

[@TheAbyssoftheMind]

It occurs to me that at no point in time is the player important. Yes, there's clearly something going on, but overwhelmingly most of these games focus around someone doing mundane work and trying to make ends meet. Unsorted VHS and Tartarus Engine might have the PC as someone important, but that's about the list. Everyone else is just trying to make do. No matter no one in these stories ever finds out what's going on; they're just trying to get by in life. There's also a recurring theme of these incredible and terrible feats of technology being used for alarmingly mundane things, this happens in both Tartarus Engine and Infineural. Heck, the entire point of unsorted VHS was that someone was trying to use the magic cabins to raise funding. The only one where what you're doing is something grand is System Upkeep, which... why is a space ship carrying an apocalypse bomb powered by coal?

[@imperianin]

Btw, carbon steel has second ending

[@nomnomgoblin8901]

if I had to guess the survey questions in Infaneural were some sort of data collection training. Like how we have captchas that tell us to identify motorcycles and stop lights and boats, which are then later used to train image recognition software. Those in the booths are just there spending over half a human lifespan in the infinite captcha to both answer and collect data so... something... can answer one simple question. Are you human?

[@AlexConley-n2w]

if captchas go rough itll just be that 😭

[@Zenlore6499]

I think the shadowy figure that jumpscares you is either one of the aliens or a version of you looking in at yourself

[@moonlight2870]

"Caution, big ass spider"

[@knotemplation]

Mike Klubnika started the klubnika game universe by uploading a bunch of cgi videos to his youtube channel. some of the videos are related to the mike klubninka universe. there even is a video where the same company logo as the one we see in carbon steel is visible.

[@henrycooper3431]

This is a very good video. Btw, in Mike's Unsorted VHS video, he said that the game is a standalone. However, Lab Run is actually connected to Control Room Alpha and Carbon Steel! All 3 games feature a single organization known as E.K.R.E (Carbon Steel has their symbol on the screen and CRA has it on the paper, not sure where it is on Lab Run) As for your theory about Core, i really doubt that they invaded a shelter because one of the first room you see (43:26 to be specific) is called "Sentinel Manifold" which hinted at the Sentinels being created at that facility. Another thing i want to point out is that in Infineural, all the employees are dead as the monitor stated it during the same frame you took the date from, which make me question how they were able to pay you money lol

[@everberon]

Ooh interesting stuff about Lab Run, and good thinking regarding CORE! Thanks for this.

[@spookydaily6590]

Is it at all possible that the player character in Carbon Steel becomes the Dealer in Buckshot Roulette? Im unsure about the exact time Buckshot Roulette occurs, but if anyone else has seen that creature we pulled from the mariana trench a while ago, they look similar.

[@AlexConley-n2w]

...wait.

[@SHDW-nf2ki]

"A character known only as GOD" has to be the silliest phrase I've ever heard in one of these essay videos

[@beegborg3303]

The coffee on System Uplink is suspicious

[@beegborg3303]

Upkeep*

[@TheNecroswanson]

So, I think Buckshot Roulette might take place in one of the simulation machines. They act as perfect simulations, which would imply that in simulating a buckshot blast to the dome it would stop your heart, which would then explain why a defibrilator would bring you back. Perhaps it's a prison sentence, hence the oppressive and hopeless industrial hellscape atmosphere. Could also go to explain that they know they're in this simulation and those things combined would lead to stimulus disassociation of some kind basically making them insane adrenaline junkies. Just a thought.

[@Pig_stain]

The only problem is that it's way too lazy and boring of an explanation. I doubt Mike would just make it "oh your in a simulation" especially when he confirms God is actually dead. Why confirm that if it's just a simulation? Like why does it matter?

[@TheNecroswanson]

@@Pig_stain It's not about having some deeper meaning, it's about exploring concepts and fleshing out consequences. The games are small, bite sized things exploring concepts in a behind the scenes world. They're set in the same universe, but they're not telling a singular story. They're giving microscopic looks into what has taken place in the world and its consequences. Like "We can Remember it Wholesesale For You". "God is dead" is a Neitzche quote and it can mean a million things. Unless the developer states 'Abrahamic God is canon to this Universe and it has been literally murdered" you have no real idea what that confirmation actually means. "God is the opiate of the masses", being a famous quote. Did the dealer kill opioids? Or is the concept of something greater than ones self dead in the eyes of the people undergoing these simulations? God is dead to them, he has been killed. But what does it really mean without a detailed explanation? It can mean a million things. Snagging your hook into one line like that tunnel visions your perspective. The point of the simulations and time dilation is something that Stephen King and Junji Ito have previously explored. The whole "9 million questions" in 5 minutes is not some new concept, nor is the effect it has on the protagonist. "The Long Jaunt" explores this directly with teleportation technology that requires passengers to be sedated and not experience the "jaunt". The purpose of exploring the effects the simulation has on the people in it isn't "it was all a simulation, the end", it's exploring the consequences of the technology and the horrors it inflicts upon the people. The horror of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein isn't, "a man creates a monster and said monster kills everyone he loves". The horror is, "in the absence of moral compunction a man decides he can do better than god, and this is what he's wrought". You think it taking place in a simulation is boring because you think there is supposed to be a grander narrative telling a single through-line story with a unified point. There isn't. The questionnaire happens in a simulation. It's explicitly stated. If you follow the instructions and are sedated, you don't even remember it. If you don't drink the coffee you experience the 50 years but don't actually live them. It's not something new even for these games. In a previous game the perfect simulations were being worked on, and people even got stuck in one at the end. He's already explored one aspect of their effects, it makes logical sense that he would explore other aspects as well. It's not "boring", you're just looking for something tying them all together that is far bigger than what actually is.

[@Pig_stain]

@TheNecroswanson yes but everytime your in a simulation, you are pretty much explicitly told. It just nullifies too much mystique. Why bother with the doctor reviving you? Why bother with the defibulators? We can clearly see a nightclub, but if the simulation is just tied to the buckshot roulette part, why even have it there? What about the person on the bridge? Story wise, it just nullifies too much of what Mike shows you that it just wouldn't make sense for there to be all this extra stuff. Why would the date even matter or be told in a simulation? All the simulations we've been shown have been relatively small-scale as well, but this shows other people, living human beings, being in there, too. The chance of Mike saying that it's a simulation, while not zero, I suppose, seems very low. Also, Mike literally states that the God mentioned is the creator of the universe.

[@TheNecroswanson]

@@Pig_stain You are missing major points of the simulations previously mentioned. A "perfect simulation". Perfect. Meaning to people inside the simulation, it is indistinguishable from reality. The simulation isn't tied to the Buckshot Roulette part, Buckshot Roulette is a product of the lives of people in the simulation. Go back to my first post: They'rr in the simulation, possibly for the purposes of prison but it not really mattering what it's actually for, but they understand it's a simulation. They know it's not real, but literally everything that keeps them conscious believes it is. I mentioned the disassociation with stimuli. Imagine doing grievous bodily harm to yourself, you start to die, you know you are dying. Now add in the fact that three seconds afterward you are literally fine as if it never happened. You can't comprehend it. With all our science and medicine we can barely comprehend PTSD. What simulation horror stories or the "infinity in an instant" stories are exploring is beyond even that. Think back to Call of Cthulu. It's not part of a broader narrative, it's a single story amidst a greater work of single stories. They share a similar universe but aren't telling a single narrative, they're microscopic glimpses into a larger world and its consequences. There is no purpose looking for a single story tying it all together because there really isn't one. All you are getting is a small glimpse into a much larger world, but that larger world is only consequential to how this particular portion happened. Look at Dark Souls 1. Who Queelag is is inconsequential to the player. Same with Artorias. You never speak to them, you cannot reason with them, and you cannot pay them for passage. Who they are and what they once did is entirely inconsequential to the player. They are in your way and it's kill or be killed. Their lore means nothing outside of coloring the blueprint laid down by the enviornments. It's meaningless. What matters is that you are going to take the world as you have learned of it and decide whether or not another cycle is worth it. Gwyn will never speak to you and shake your hand. The story isn't the history of the world. The story is the consequences and your actions in the game. It's the same here with the games. "The creator of the universe is dead". Perfect simulations in this setting exist. Meaning entire universes are created by computers and technicians. You're putting a lot of stock in what are intentionally nebulous statements to fill a prefit notion that goes from BJ Blazkowicz to Doom Guy. But that's not the world and setting you are being presented with. Dates are world building. The nightclub is a factor of a perfect simulation. The "brush with death" adrenaline junky game of Buckshot Roulette is the result of the world around them not being real clashing with every fiber of their being telling them it is, but the disassociation caused in realizing that's it's not, yet being trapped inside. Again, the story being told isn't just some protagonist uncovering the greater secrets of the world to tell you a complete narrative. The story is a look at a microscopic event, in a broader world of technology and its consequences. Go back to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The story isn't about some guy screwing up. It's about the consequences of his actions in actively believing he could do better than God did. It's not a question of "if simulation therefore lazy". It's a question of "are YOU looking for a story that isn't being told"? I'm probably wrong in my assessment of the game's setting. But not because it would be a lazy copout, just that I'm misinterpeting the themes tying the works together. But there is no story tying "Hellraiser" to "Mister B, Gone" despite both involving stories about those who come from Hell. And there is no story tying a simulatrd questionaire to Buckshot Roulette, only the themes and a nebulous background world.

[@TheNecroswanson]

@@Pig_stain Also remember The Matrix. The night club nightmare, communicating with those outside the simulation, being aware of the simulation opening opportunities for those inside to manipulate it, etc. Game starts in a dingy night club. The cell phone lets you call an unknown individual who has knowledge of the shell order that they would only know through outside observation, small abilities to manipulate what is happening (the defibrilator). These are clear nods.

The room with the computer and window apparition matches the placement of the VCR/window(screen?/black box?) at the end of the game. Since we're the person hanging there with our tapes/memories it's possible that there's someone watching us (like the figures at the end) that we can 'see' but are too engrossed in the tapes/memories to ignore our current situation so we 'filter it out' and make it part of the memory.

Didn't forget it. There's just no date in the game to reference. A really thought-provoking gane nevertheless though.

alright, so from what i've gathered IGNORING TIMELINE INTEREST is vaguely this; for one reason or another, the dealer and god made a bet of some kind resulting in the death of god himself. the general public became wise to the death of god, and fearing for what might happen in their afterlife now that god is dead, KONI starts work on machines to essentially extend perceived human lifespans so even the concept of death is a distance memory, a dream not needed to be considered. but, KONI as a company made a horrible decision. a couple of them. previously in KONI's history they experimented with bio-mechanical meshing, the idea of using biological material in machines. they decided that they would prolong the death of the physical body by placing people's minds within robotic bodies to make the already billions upon trillions of years in a normal human body into that of unfathomable and indomitable perceived lifespans. at the same time as this idea of robot bodies, KONI were beginning to take up a mantle as saviors, as a godlike group worthy of saving humanity. the issue was the public was scared they were going to give long and impossible lifespans to those who had done terrible things, such as murderers, abusers, all sorts of vile and grotesque individuals. KONI, in an act of furthering their god-like image, decided to alter the afterlife program to match someone's DESERVED afterlife. this all resulted in the surveys. things used to gauge more about humanity, things people enjoy, ways to properly create the best paradise possible... or the worst hell imaginable. the surveys were a dual testing of robotic-bodies as well as learning more about how to make the perfect deserved eternal life. eventually, for one reason or another, these robot bodies were a burden on society and those who didn't want the endless life given by KONI. it wasn't profitable to keep these people in an eternal robotic stasis so the bodies were shut down and left to rot. all that data, all that simulated pleasure, pain, sorrow, joy, all of it sat there festering. once turned on the robotic remains of what used to be people were furious, the machinery of the facility holding all these people had meshed, melted, broken and dissolved until there was nothing human about them. they were insane, deranged and awful mechanical creatures that were nothing but a danger to those they sought out. they exploded throughout the facility, destroying and killing anyone they could. those who heard of the horrible outbreak of these mechanical nightmares hid inside bunkers. and you know the rest! this timeline and such overall makes no god damn sense and y'know what? i don't care! i like the story :3

[@jaghatai9822]

Haha the SCePtre Foundation
