Fobia: St. Dinfna Hotel - Story Explained

[@apple8464]

Harry’s sassiness increases in direct proportionality to how questionable a game becomes. Definitely makes the videos more enjoyable!

I love that the first monster you kill gives you the finger as he dies.

[@n.c.pictures]

The attitude. It's hilarious 😂

[@Kryptstar_mack]

LOL, that was pretty epic

[@jenh101]

I find it hilarious how often horror game protagonists, instead of heading for the stairs like a normal person (or at least trying), are so quick to put their faith in the safety of an elevator in a broken down, abandoned building, which wasn’t even working until they fetch quested a magic repair fuse. Elevators can be sketchy at the best of times. In a spooky abandoned building in a possible alternate dimension they’d be better taking their chances out the window! Another banger Harry! You’re always so patient with explaining these game plots, however ridiculous, but it’s so funny now and again when you’re clearly exasperated with it!

[@xChaosFlower]

You can just tell this game was heavily inspired by resident evil, particularly RE7, and the menu style looks like it. Complicated puzzles and secret mutations done in hidden labs; the red growth resembles the mold; the little girl even looks like Evelyn. Hell, Even the mysterious man was blond like Albert Wesker. But, like you said, this game didn't know what it wanted to be and it wasn't bad honestly.

[@lunarheartz2133]

It’s reminiscent of several popular survival horror games; outlast, resident evil, silent hill. All around the game feels cookie cutter not doing anything unique or special but disjointed due to it failing to establish its own identity tbh

[@redpilledfag]

RE7???? More like PT. Everyone knows RE7 ripped off PT

[@GamingHarryYT]

Nah, RE7 was more largely inspired by films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Evil Dead. I will say though, that the RE franchise was dying and needed something to revive it. The popular thing at the time was the whole first person narrow corridor thing, and if it saved my favourite franchise ever, then I’m okay with that.

[@Justyn-yt]

What about Project Zero, which the Camera had the ability to unveal things and to destroy the ghost while taking shots? Im thinking in Fobia the Camera had this mysterious cube from Christopher inside of it?

[@glaucoruzzetti9630]

About Stephanie roles in the story that's my guess : she's trying to actively stop the hotel's receptionist by Roberto since the former is too powerful. She always give him appointment in places way to far from where he is, she never display herself at the dates (and I can assume she's not even where she tell him to go, she just check roberto's movement from the 8th floor control room) and when she notice Roberto overcome the danger she make him move again and again in hope he get killed. When after all she meets Roberto in the end (nobody ever got this far, like : I always managed to stop every other guest before) she can't do anything else than go all-in and try to stab the other guy

[@AntiSociableWallflower]

I really appreciate you breaking the objective reporting style to call out flaws where you see it fit. This type of story introducing overly complicated elements like time travel often ends of biting off more than they can chew, trying to appear complex and deep while losing concistency and creating contradictions left and right

[@Cloudy-bb8sp]

Nevermind just got up to 5:00 where Harry mentions it, my bad

[@franklynsmith6968]

What's easy to miss is Harry's (hope that's your name guy) intellectual prowess, investigative capacity, and depth of insight. You could teach a new brand of collegiate studies that takes gaming as a form of interactive, interpretive literature with someone like VaatiVidya. You two are both a credit to the gaming world shedding light for so many of us (30+ adults included) students to learn and wonder again.

[@kail9036]

I think Christopher sending Emily back again has to do with some kind of space-time continuum stuff. If Emily never went back, it would make that chain of events simply cease to exist. If he truly wants to change the future, he'd have to sacrifice certain things leading up to what he wants changed, but he may have no clue where the sacrifice begins. At what point can he change the future? Emily falling into the vat of whatever the hell could've been an unavoidable necessary evil in his attempts to save Roberto so he can save his machine. He mentions having to do it all again when Roberto shoots him, and he does do it all over again (the looping.) He wants a specific outcome and he's willing to do what it takes to do that, he just needs to know at what point can he begin playing with it. He likely only wants ONE thing changed, so it doesn't make sense to change the entire past leading up to him meeting Roberto. He needs Emily to travel back so the loop can continue, he needs Emily to go back so he can capture her at the start to set off the events leading up to Roberto working on the Universal Transporter thingy. I actually kinda like that detail

22:30 So in our real world most theoretical physicists believe that if time travel (backwards) does exist at some point then it will most likely be the closed loop type aka if you travel back in time and end up triggering a set of events to happen around the past version of you, when that past version of you gets to the now they must also travel backwards in time so that you can trigger them same events and you just have to hope that after you did what had to be done you don’t do a Samuel Beckett (If you guys don’t know who that is go watch quantum leap you’ll thank me later) and just keep on jumping. Now I don’t know if the people that made this game knew any of the above or not but ???

[@lucre113]

Why would you just lie like that? That creates paradoxes tho… no modern physicists, even theoretical physicists believe backwards time travel exists. They believe forward time travel can exist but backwards is impossible. Talking out your ass.

Thanks for trying to explain. While playing I followed along with no problem until the lab section and then I got lost lol Maybe they will make a 2bd one to have it make more sense. I actually really enjoyed this game.

[@MavihsLH]

I wonder if Stephanie to an extent knew about the loop, in some vague manner (maybe her own independent investigations throughout St. Dinfna Hotel). If not the loop, she definitely knew that Roberto, or R.L.L that Christopher is actively searching for, is a catalyst for his, I suppose, "evil" plans. That's why she sends Roberto to obviously dangerous places, because she needs Roberto to die while she figures out a way to free Emily. However in the end Roberto is alive, makes it all the way to Emily, hence fullfilling Christhoper's plans, at that point Stephanie has no other choice but to kill Christhoper, or try a last ditch effort to assassinate him. I don't really get both endings. We are told time and time again that there is no "choice". And the choice is an illusion. Maybe both endings lead to the same conclusion, the loop will forever persist. But if you consider "alternate" timelines, I guess the timeline you join forces with Christopher succeeds in their "transcention" of time, and Christhoper sends Emily back to ensure every other timeline that follows also transcends just like his. The timeline branches off when Christhoper can succesfully use the transporter. Also I'd like to believe Christopher isn't fully aware of the loops. As we've seen from his unrealiable memory in his chapters, maybe it is only until the very end he truly remembers everything (Roberto's arrival possibly). That's why the search for Roberto is initiated in every loop. Because Christhoper simply cannot remember who the right R.L.L is.

[@Steelfox0329]

Stephanie could have been the girl's mother in the future? Roberto is the father of Emily. So, he is the key to the events happening from the start. If Roberto decides to join forces with Christopher, more Emilys can be created from the exact same loop happening. If not, he is put through everything again until Christopher gets the result he wants. In turn, that would be exactly what his mission statement was earlier in the game " Making free will a distant memory" (Just my 2 cents)

[@Steelfox0329]

On a side note, the accident Emily had, could have involved the orb. Maybe even, her being the first human test subject and being transported along with the orb accidentally to the mine belonging to Christopher.

Shoots once then lays there to get stabbed to death. Maybe he only had one bullet left. Fair enough. But that didn't seem to be the case.
