The Queen’s voice actor had BILLS to pay

[@LeneyDesign]

Someone said the queens scream sounds like a pitched down rubber chicken and I just cant unhear it 😂

[@noot_noota]

the comedic timing in me reading this comment just as she starts screaming was unmatched lmfao

[@marthmallow7420]

well that makes it less scary, thanks! /gen

Immersion ruined 🤣

Kinda sounds like it could be a husky too 😂

[@BlackDragonQueen]

I pointed this out in Jack's playthrough comments (cuz I'm a nerd and I get excited about these things) Amenti is the name for the door to the Underworld in Ancient Egyptian mythology. It's also where the sun went after it went down. I think the main character is navigating the trials and gates to get to the afterlife (or i guess get picked up by aliens) that are described in The Book of the Dead. That book has funeral rites in it, but it also serves as like a game walk through, giving you tips and tricks to get by the traps, monsters and gates to get to the afterlife. Ancient Egyptians even chiseled those directions into the walls of the tombs so souls wouldn't get lost.

[@laracroft003]

This is really cool information! Thanks for teaching me something : )

[@BlackDragonQueen]

​@@laracroft003most welcome!

[@RavenMoodle]

i was really hoping this would be more about folklore/mythology rather then aliens.. again- so getting to actually hear this is super cool, thanks.

[@BlackDragonQueen]

@@RavenMoodle i can see why the alien conspiracy is so tied to the ancient egyptian mythology, but I agree; i dig the mythos by itself more.

[@7792pnaurfr]

Oh crazy wow so interesting you learn something new every day thanks for the useful info nerd

[@Omegaflaire]

If I want to watch a game played poorly and entertaining, I watch Game Grumps. If I want to watch a game played entertaining regardless of skill and just having a good time, I watch Jackseptieye. If I want to watch a game played well with smart decisions every time and entertaining, I watch Gab Smolders. Well done, Gab!

Hahaha😂 accurate. She a gamer girl❤

The Storm of 87 reminds me of when my mom was telling me about someone, and she asked me, "was she at my wedding?" And I was like ?!?!?!? I didn't exist before your wedding!!

[@RPGirlZera]

The little edit at 15:30 where all the pictures go into a folder was too funny to me. Good work MegaFragile. 40:10 Ra Above! Even I jumped at that.

[@direktive4]

people can't comprehend the amount of human suffering that went into building the pyramids

[@Petterwass]

Generally same as for any other large ancient building project, except they don't seem to have used slaves, so if anything there was less suffering

[@zquil07]

Photographer: Its hard to believe these pyramids were built by humans... Gab: Well you better believe it Jack: THATS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING ITS ALIENSSSS edit: HOW IS SHE SO CALM ABOUT EVERYTHING

[@SisterSnowySpace]

Jacksepticeye? His name is Sean

[@zquil07]

@ And Gab's name is Evelein (idk how she spells it)?? Just like Gab, Sean often goes by Jack/Jacksepticeye as well

[@RavenMoodle]

@/SisterSnowySpace: apartment complex? I find it quiet simple

[@SisterSnowySpace]

@ Well, it was partially a joke, but a lot of people don't seem to know his real name, so you know.

[@a_new_ho]

@@SisterSnowySpace Is there a reason why people need to know his real name? His online handle is jacksepticeye, why would anyone need to know more than that? Just seems a little pedantic to correct someone, even as a supposed joke, when I think most people understood what was meant by “Jack”.

[@freakishuproar1168]

As a newborn baby in 1987, I distinctly recall the terrible Storm of Hove as if it were yesterday. Many fine babies were lost battling that wretched storm... ;p (hope you're doing alright Goobus) :3

[@Lost_reality_1]

Yeh my mum randomly said that to me you where born in a storm I was like ehhh?

Hahha what a film

[@naughtykelpie6342]

Lol, my immediate thought when she said it.

[@arneshkundu]

0:59 "WAS THAT THE STORM OF 87??" - the Old Lady, probably

[@aydenx7279]

Well, I'm old enough to remember a storm in '87 but I too don't remember that particular storm being I was several thousand miles away. It is eye-opening to say the least when you begin to be part of the reminiscences crowd. Sadly happens a lot quicker than you realize. Great game! I enjoyed watch both you and Jack's play through. Such different yet similar approaches...

[@JeantheSecond-ip7qm]

Go to Egypt in December. Nothing will be closed down because of winter because it doesn’t get that cold there, but it also doesn’t get that hot either. I took a Christmas cruise around the Mediterranean with a stop in Egypt. The weather was very mild.

[@okmeowokmeow]

I didn't get so lucky and it was pouring rain when I went some years ago (also in December). Out of the whole week we only got to go on tours for three days 😭

[@JeantheSecond-ip7qm]

[@gentlechaos5911]

I heard egypt is miserable, especially as a woman. It's sad because the history is so fascinating.

[@lavone5541]

@@gentlechaos5911 My elderly parents had a lovely time after researching a lot. You need to plan properly with a verified personal guide and not hop on random group tours . Most bad experiences are from people who attempted to be independent or didn't plan their agendas properly. There are many armed guards at historical tourist sites, but you still need to be prepared for common tourist scams like photo-taking. Like most highly populated areas, don't wander alone and stay away from alleys. I hope you're able to have a wonderful trip someday.

[@alyssafletcher7786]

First of all, love the new hair ❤ second, the Henry Cavill letters killed me 😂😂 thank you

[@northof-62]

I read Caldwell. Different name different pronunciation.

[@MisokaStrife]

10000% agree that this game would GREATLY benefit from some more actual gameplay. Atmosphere and scares were already great, but it just needed a liiiiiittle more for the player to actually *do*

[@Diane281]

gab could totally make her own game with all the ideas she has to improve the games she plays

[@theomegajuice8660]

Gotta say that someone really needs to show some of these indie horror game makers an actual news broadcast because they nearly all contain one and they are almost all atrociously written and sound nothing like how news readers talk. "Some places are cursed and if you go there you will never leave... up next our weather correspondent..."

[@billbill6094]

I always think about this. It's funny because even when they use it to give exposition, since if you think about it the News is an exposition show, they still manage to mess it up. But it's atrocious when they use it to convey emotion. You never even hear them use News Anchor voice, you know when they set up a short phrase at the end of a sentence to _punctuate_ emotion. "Today will be remembered as a day of tragedy... and hope"

[@meganl3426]

If I had to guess, this game was probably produced by a studio in Asia. There's an English speaker shortage in a lot of parts of Asia right now. A lot of the smaller studios that can't afford to pay the same rates as big studios for talented English speakers rely heavily on AI, or on freelancers who speak English as a second language. I work with a lot of companies in Asia, and I can tell this one put a lot of work into trying to produce a polished product with a shoestring budget. Bad English aside, I'd like to see what this studio could do with some real cash at its disposal. I'm kind of obsessed with the idea of a haunted pyramid. It's really novel in video games that usually fall back on zombies and body horror. I want more.

[@FacingVicissitudes]

@@meganl3426 That's not really an excuse though. There's plenty of newscast examples on KZbin. Speaking English has nothing to do with writing how news is written. There's also examples or even tutorials how journalism is written, depending on the medium. Even Asian countries have standard for how they write their news. It's not like the voice actors are just saying news out of thin air. They have to read it. So it's a composition issue, not an "english speaker shortage". I'm saying this as an Asian myself.

[@littledaisyfield]

I’m laughing at the change from Henry Caldwell to Henry Cavill! I thought I was seeing things! 😂

[@HoboTortoise]

Fun fact: the Field of Reeds (Aaru) is a paradise in the afterlife, while the Duat is the underworld. ❤

[@Eunmi24]

Thank u Gab for putting in the time to play this! I was really hoping for you to play this game! ❤

[@furia5575]

We visited Egypt in October, weather was delightful, you can get a summer dress or some nice linen chlotes, take your stardew straw hat, and it is so comfy! I have to say tho, go with a tour guide, as a europian, it is very different from what I am used to, mostly how they want to sell you anything quite aggressively, and no amount of NO is enough. We were on a lead tour and a guy hopped into our van after following us to force sell us something...so there is that. But is is beautyful, the ancient sites are really worth to see, amazing and astonishing.

As someone in their 40s, the 90s is only 10 yrs ago in our minds. I imagine the 80s feels the same to someone in their 60s. 😂

[@bryanaragon6679]

What I find creepy is that when you hear the screams from the Queen and the Pharaoh you can clearly notice how in pain they sound, but when you look at their faces, they are smiling. 14:08 Henry Cavill's Letter 😂 26:15 The Pharaoh playing prankster and blowing out candles and stuff is just funny.

[@masasedej3503]

The haircut looks so good Gab 😊 I also cut it short, just yesterday, haha

[@MizzLizzy1994]

So fun fact if no one has looked it up, Henry Caldwell was an Australian army mechanic during WWII in the Middle East, he was an amateur photographer and he smuggled his pocket camera with him to the front lines in the Middle East. He took many pictures of tribes, ancient tombs, and pyramids! He lived to be 101. The creators of this game must have correlated the theme of the game to him!

[@furygeist]

The feral mummies at the end sound like if Jonathan Davis from Korn and David Draiman of Disturbed had a musty, crusty mummy love child. Someone said the queen sounds like a pitched down rubber chicken. I can't take them seriously. It's impossible to unhear and thus makes them hard to fear. 😂

[@tinglesrosyrupeeland]

I'm so happy you played this!! I really like the atmosphere in this game, super cool and unique ((:

[@z-beeblebrox]

This makes me want a walking sim that adapts HP Lovecraft's "The Nameless City" where an explorer in Egypt travels to a Valley of Kings-esque location and then descends and descends and descends... However this makes me wonder why they decided to set this game in the 70s. That's SO many decades after most of the archaeological work involving buried Pharaohs - aka discovering Tutankhamun - happened. Nobody was excavating pyramids during this time that I know of...

[@Paradroid127]

​@@lauraspendley99it's a public comment section, it was left for everybody

[@spiderbug7615]

I mean, Gab may not immediately know exactly what you are talking about either. If you posted a 50 minute video, would you remember every single casual question you asked and instantly understand which question someone is answering? it costs zero dollars to attach a time stamp, and as other people have pointed out, comments are public. They can be aimed at a certain person but you are still essentially sitting in a room with a bunch of other people talking about the same thing. Is it not unreasonable to expect some engagement by the people around you?

[@forsakenfaithfallenfrey6914]

The protagonist casually touches everything in the tomb.

[@a_new_ho]

Omg, this photographer should be arrested. Is she trespassing? She sure shouldn’t be opening up sarcophagi just to snap some pictures. Where are the archaeologists??

[@charlotterusse4585]

I found this from a comment in Jack's video. Apparently you aren't allowed to take pictures of ancient objects with a camera flash because it can ruin their paints.

[@mtzgany]

Gab looking so cute in short hair! 💖

[@malkiyyah2693]

I love it how the protagonist brings zero supplies or gear (other than a questionable camera), and is the least physically fit person possible, unable to clamber over ledges lower than the height of their waist, and yet is buff enough to move outer sarcophagi lids. Skipped leg day, maybe?

[@NCRRanger7753]

It's opposite here in Nevada sometimes. The heat can get so dry that your throat will get dry shortly after going out for a walk. You absolutely need to bring water if you plan on a long walk. It's also mandatory to lotion up at least once a day or you'll be ashy or chalky and get dandruff.

[@soudiepop]

[@adamp3223]

Character has an ancient panoramic camera from the 1920's or 30's, which would just make the clockwork shutter sound that happens when you right click, but when you take a successful shot it makes the sound of a motorized lens on an autofocus camera. It sounds like my mom's 7000 Maxxum which came out about a decade after the time this game is set.
