Note: You can check out a playthrough of the second half of the game here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnTRhppmoLCZldU I've condensed the first 30 mins of the game as it's pretty much the same as the Beta build I played last year and I really wanted to get to the awesome trippy mushroom battle at 09:38 as soon as possible! It's just the nightclub section that I've trimmed out. It doesn't really progress the story much, but you can still view it on the old Beta build here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWfWnaiGdqZ-eck

[@somebody_somewhere]

The hype is all the more real when ABG views a game the second time

[@mikerueffer579]

Me: *Watches video* "I don't see what people are complaining about the visuals aren't that ba-" *gets to the trippy gnome fight* "MY EYES! MY EYES! THEY BURN!"

[@A_Simple_Neurose]

Still a sexy ass game. Also jesus that race win at 36:20, cutting it as close as it can get.

[@jianawilliams724]

the trippy mushroom battle sounds so good but is so eye melting

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Haha, yeah I love that battle! Definitely one of my favourites int he game! :)

[@aidannovak1747]

This game should get lots of love from everyone. It deserves it. Also, there is more to this game than it seems...

[@Gekker42]

ayyy, seems like they adjusted the music and the obstacle spawns, so now spawn is actually rhytmic gj devs 👍

[@Nomadic_Inquisitor]

Huge improvement

[@komment1127]

I am glad you made a gameplay video, in the first video you made (about the demo) people really looked like they liked the game, but i think most of the people who watched it forgot that it existed.

[@Nomadic_Inquisitor]

I wouldn't forget something like this (for a very long while), it's too interesting :)

[@marikeicaranto7791]

i didnt know the slime bros battle would go that HARD

[@acrj-alfasaus4825]

wait until he gets to do the genocide route ;)

[@Idontwannaknow632]

Guys hes back the one who blind the eyes

[@NaneelQueenOfDarknes]

This game is all sorts of trippy, i luv it. Was clapping along to the beat and grooving in my seat lol

[@acrj-alfasaus4825]

oh boy, time to strap in to this 2 hour vid heck yeah

[@bwtrickster]

I thought you only did games that are just in alpha/beta, good to see more publicity for everhood!

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Yeah I do play a lot to Alpha/Betas but I do play full games too. The devs were nice enough to send me a key for the game and I really loved the Beta demo build I played last year. I only intended doing a short video for the full release, but I got pretty hooked and had to play it all the way through! :)

[@co11in__18]

This channel apprised me to the existence of this game over a year ago when it was still in beta and demo stages. I bought it THE DAY it came out and never regretted it.

[@EvilRakdos]

It feels like a mixture of "A Musical Story" and "deltarune".

[@WaryObserver]

Also, character design wise like Super Mario RPG and Chrono Trigger in my eyes.

[@CluckN]

Honestly seems more of a mix of Cory in the House for DS and Big Rig Racing.

[@adellerulli]

Even music games related to Rockband or Guitar Hero, only instead of hitting the notes you're dodging them.

[@Ranzord95]

yah I don't like comparing things to undertale because of how much visibility it got but tbh this time it makes sense cause music is also a big part of it

[@vvvios]

@@Ranzord95 Absolutely spot-on my good man. The gameplay is definitely reminiscent of Cory in the House's excellent point-and-click gameplay, however the setting, dialogue, and overall atmosphere really harkens me back to Custer's Revenge (1982) especially considering the quality of pixel art.

[@rokaq5163]

Woah these Crypt of the Necrodancer updates are getting out of hand!

[@dasageman9456]

YES, I remember you played this last year, and was the reason I wanted to get this! I played through it and LOVED it. Please, everyone, try this game, IT IS WORTH IT!!

[@rrrrrrrrrr9354]

im so early i feel like i have to say something: im excited to play this game now that its finally released!!!

[@Cookieofdoom]

If just the music was better... Or maybe that was just the time I heard before I stopped. Anyone got a recommended point in the video where the music bops?

[@mrohnoes]

Glad to see you're showcasing this game again. I rewatched your original video some time ago and got curious as when the game was gonna come out. Come to find that the game had been out for a few days at that point. I bought it on the spot and played through it right away. And I wouldn't have known about it were it not for you. Edit: I'd also like to recommend the channel "horheristo" She's covered similar games, and has done no hit runs of every boss in this game.

[@kakoytazabar]

That race was tight. Awesome that you've covered that game.

[@richardtompkins7168]

What an acid trip lol. Imagine playing this actually high. Wtf?!?!

[@ZeroCrits]

this game is trippy

[@kushkungvivo744]

Love the character designs

[@the_parasites]

Man I love Green Mage

[@user-qs8kh5dn5w]

this is one of the best things I saw on this channel, and all. This game os just GREAT!!!

[@Switcher1972]

Impressively imaginative. :) Also reminded me a bit of the Amiga demoscene back in the 90's days.

[@Flarepulse]

Thanks for highlighting the demo like a year ago, I was on board with this game the moment I saw your vid's thumbnail.

[@setsurarara]

Before : "Huh are we gonna fight a trash can?" After : "Oh we're fighting a trash can."

[@ouij]

Thank you, Bobbert. I clicked wishlist and follow after playing the demo and Steam never notified me that it released. Please make another UnMetal video when it comes out since I'm sure I won't be notified of that either.

[@Ihere123]

It seems that when battling the Purple Mage: you must NOT get hurt. Otherwise, she will rewind the music back a little, and it'll never be done. That is Red's weakness: endless. I guess the only way to fight her is to STAY AT THE EDGE.

[@c0bbo]

Oh boy, 4AM!

[@EMAngel2718]

Oh man this was hype to see. I was itching for more after watching your first vid on the game

[@tootifrootismootibojerti4010]

Glad you played this masterpiece !

[@parkere669]

Imagine what the modding community can do with this game.

[@spudato961]

We return

[@Ranzord95]

1:16:17 I thought the warhammer 40k crossover with D&D was unexpected but then *that* song started playing can't tell where it's from but I know the meme

[@BREDES]

I expected everything but not a music battle 🤣🌟 ultimative stuff ❤🔥

[@Brunoki22]

Oh damn! Did you play this til completion? Oh wow. Went the extra mile. Is the game any different from when you played the demo months ago?

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Yeah I've played it all the way through. This is the first of 2 of 3 videos (it's quite a long game!). The gameplay is pretty much the same as the demo I played last year, but obviously there's a lot more content, more dance battles and the story is pretty excellent (especially once you defeat Gold Pig for the first time).

[@DimensionalMola]

Green Mage is hilarious.

[@franklinfalco9069]

1:29:37 Blue thief says what we're all thinking.

[@andrewmathewson341]

Union is doing a fairly good stream summary of his experience playing this game, if anyone is interested.

[@SuperGunboy]

Oh hey it’s been updated!

[@metalicarus8372]

noice, imma download it later

[@skylersilva6582]

The return

[@erikapeng8847]

Cool 😉

[@dorkfishie8923]

Part 2 when? EDIT: First zombie is named Zob, the second “zombie” is Rob.

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

The second part should go up tomorrow. It's almost 3 hours long! :)

[@Litch_Bih]

nice

[@regialdamanita8392]

This game had me when that darknut through his BA sword away and started grooving. Like holy shit. XD (yeah I still use it, change my mind) edit: Poor car too.

[@AgariusQ]

Green mage is a vibe

[@mr.dr.kaiser4912]

_Yesssssss,_ I'm going to enjoy watching this one. After having watched it, did you miss doubling back to give the brown wizard the batteries, or is that something you can do later?

[@aureliorubio7392]

Man this game go hard. I don't know how did you pull off half the stuff...

[@qualia8047]

Great Game i love it.

[@USERNAME-NANASHIKUN]

good

[@DommoDommo]

I really enjoyed this game, have several hours logged in. Don't play it as a rhythm game because it's NOT, shit doesn't sync/line up when you're trying to dodge or attack. It's got a lot of heart, character, and tons of little extras. Give it a shot if you have a chance and I'll bet your playthrough is different than ABG's.

[@jastrongames790]

Now for round 2 of this game

[@Feanarth]

My point of critique for this game still stands: The presentation and ideas are awesome, but I absolutely wouldn't enjoy the lack of actual player interaction with the core element in the game: rhythm. Instead of interacting with the mechanic you just passively evade projectiles shot at you. The deflection mechanic via sword helps, but the rhythm itself feels to me like it has no real implications on how your character controls or otherwise dictates the game loop. If they had some kind of tie-in to the offbeat in attacks I'd be immediately sold. Currently this game feels like Thumper, Undertale and Guitar Hero had a weird lovechild, but the offspring has no real connection to either of their parents dominant genes

[@unitysparticlesystem]

Well... *"Just Shapes and Beats"* also had no player interaction with music , you also avoid things in that game... But that game was great! And sold very well. There is no problem with player not interacting with music in games , if you want it to be like that... you need to give them the feedback , the impact... you need to make them feel the beat and the rhythm . Other games like *(geometry dash , dance of fire and ice , osu! , rhythm doctor , etc...)* you get most of the feedback from key press ... If you don't have the key press sync , you don't have most of the feedback. In *"Just Shapes and Beats"* they solved this problem by adding *( **_screen shake , screen flash , making the main beat be an exploding object {most of the time} , making even background be in sync ,_** etc...)* I'm not saying that Everhood didn't handle the music part well , they did a good job! *( **_They made custom animations for different notes , notes appear with a little flash , some special visual effects_** )* but when you are not giving the player *"key sync feedback"* (I made this name up but it's a fitting name) you gotta give them the feedback with all the ways you have *( **_screen shake , particles , colors , sound effects , background elements {both sfx and visual} , light flashes ,_** etc...)* If you made it this far or just skipped it , *I wish you a really nice day :)*

[@bengoodwin2141]

Wasn't there originally a bunch of stuff between the incinerator and frog, in the demo?

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Yeah that stuff is still in the game. I've trimmed it out of the video here though as it's pretty much the same as the demo and it doesn't really progress the story much.

[@bengoodwin2141]

@@AlphaBetaGamer ok thought so! I haven't seen much of this game outside your video but I heard a bit about it...

[@adonisthedrifter]

Feel like Terrance McKenna would've loved this

[@supercuttlefish1]

i think the little hat guys are even references to “machine elves”

[@ratautistademieruwu6769]

The game itself is an epilese orgvisual visual, it must be said

[@spectranoble1193]

I have to thank you for showing me the demo wayback when this game was first coming out and thank manlybadasshero for putting a video and reminding me about this game to buy it last month it was such a trippy fun tuned blast and cant wait to play it some more to find the secret bosses on NGP+ after slowly doing no hit runs.

[@MakinaIcy]

So late gooosh...

[@GM360]

I feel like they didn’t do much with the story. It has so much potential and it’s really confusing and jumbled up.

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

The first half of the story (in this video) is mainly just about getting to know the characters. It makes what happens in the second half where the story properly kicks in (shown in the second video) all the more impactful. :)

[@GM360]

Sorry abg, manly beat you to it. But you’re still the first one to check out the beta.

[@ichisichify]

honestly i feel like the battles go on for too long.

[@elesfinter9753]

Maan this game had so much potential, in this state is a cool game, but I think it could've been excellent if they made some tweaks. First: Five rails are too much, a lot of times the player is in the second rail just waiting. it could been better with only 3 rails and in the border you could dodge attacks by cornering yourself. 2nd. Make a reward for timing a jump when a lazer is shot, like at least a boost in your HP. There's no reason to jump over obstacles in the battles, it's easier to change rail or jumping while changing rails. 3rd. Engaging story. I couldn't care less about the story if I don't understand it in the first place, it seems that everyone is just making words taking you from point A to point B for no reason. 4th. Please be more original with the anesthetics, the psychedelic battles are great, pretty fun. But the overworld is clearly just copied and pasted from undertale and the main character is just Geno like... come on. 5th. The battles are tooo long. And with the repetitive techno sounds, it gets old too soon. And a lot of more changes like, placing collectables on the battlefield that make the battle slightly faster. Giving the main character a parry. Overworld battles. Explorable towns/places. And so more, this have so much potential With these changes and better level and mechanic design this could be an excelent, top notch game. Hope the creator takes notes of their game for the future.

[@Carl-39]

I dont like the fight sequences, too much like geh-tar hero, lol

[@cutebowtieclub3121]

Like a fangame on Friday night at funkin. It's too horror.

[@CGFillertext]

This game’s demo came out before Friday Night Funkin got popular... I’d say it’s more inspired by Undertale and Super Mario RPG (the main character looks like Geno)

[@woeisme3018]

[@SwedishEmpire1700]

Zoomer twitch RPG

[@lilifel]

?

[@TheCvlt]

So they made it a full game yet did not change the horrendous "wanna-be" rhythm gameplay aspect? In a music game you wanna play according to the beat, not have the visualization before you interact with it and then time it. It gets you out of the flow and makes it agonizing to play. There's a reason why games like FNF, Osu, cytus, deemo, BPM or literally any other rhythm game show you the incoming notes and play them WHEN They arrive at you.

[@TsukiZer0]

Looks extremely boring...
