GMOD VR: Exploring City of Silence

[@SladeSnakeissad]

First thing I thought when I saw the thumbnail was Silent Hill. I will always love how distinct Silent Hill is. It also shows how much of a influence it has had for the horror genre over the past 20 years. Too bad, we won't ever get anything like the 4 Silent Hill games gave us ever again. 😥

[@davidlaughlin-flemming8504]

We’re getting a Silent Hill 2 remake tho

[@FuroskiGoRawr]

This was such a surprise. That there would be another entry. Another actual entry. One I could admire. But then as suddenly as it came, it left. And now you disband. Your influence and inspiration will never leave me. ~for all you silenthill P.T .fans out there

[@r011ing_thunder6]

​@FuroskiGoRawr make it rhyme and you got a movie 🎬

[@SilverGeFer]

Obviously. City of Silence is just an alternative name used to reference Silent Hill

[@M_reapr]

Silent hill 2 "born from a wish" has achieved PEAK atmosphere for "loneliness" exploring the Edwin mansion as maria and the conversations between two ghost grappling with their non existence is truly one of my favorite points in horror ever. A lot of people love sh2 but they sleep on the expansion

[@Alonetravelercosmos]

i played this map a month ago and i forgot i had the interloper mod installed and i generally felt fear when i seen him standing in the dense dark fog

[@notablust2]

what's the link to the interloper mod? i wanna get it for myself :D

[@Fhelastterrerian]

Man that's terrifying but funny

[@FrutigerW]

Just got home after a long week of work, grabbed a pizza and i have a day off tomorrow. This is perfect. I'm at peace.

[@southvale]

THIS MOD IS FULL OF SILENCE!!! how can you just SIT THERE and eat PIZZA?!?!?!!?!! 😤😤😤😤

[@unluckycatfish6866]

​@@southvale its very silent pizza

[@liamsaxbury]

That sounds awesome hope you enjoyed it!

[@Bendytube72]

Rest well King you worked hard, you earned it.

[@fishyboi98]

"i could try to get away...but what's the point?" Amazing accidental timing on that with the nuke going off right at the end.

[@nilaier1430]

58:58 This is exceptionally more unsettling being face to face with this guy considering the fact that this is a scan of a real-life dead body

[@flawed1]

There’s something that leads to the overall sense of confusion on this map. There are very obvious signs that people just left. Simultaneously, they are very obvious signs that some of the buildings haven’t been functioning properly for quite a while. Add to that the feeling like, maybe you’re not safe here because of the unknown reason everyone else left and it’s no wonder this map feels so uncomfortable

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

Almost feels like the STALKER games but without combat (mostly) a lot of weird anomalies keeping the lights on and what not.

[@eg_manifest510]

it looks like they left, disappeared, and were never there to begin with all at once

[@party4lifedude]

It's interesting how a good map maker can play with your instincts and give you the feeling that there is something wrong just with subtle environmental storytelling, even if you aren't consciously picking up on it.

[@KikoBean]

you should make a playlist with no jumpscares/loud screams. your voice is so soothing i could realistically fall asleep listening

[@MrMcFish219]

His scary story readings work quite well for that.

[@Laceration_Gravityyy]

You don’t fall asleep better with screaming?

[@FuroskiGoRawr]

ahhhhh i really dont like how people use his videos to sleep but everyone with your everyone.

[@rick-deckard]

Literally has been my every night drone noise for over a year now. Even the screams don’t phase me anymore lol.

“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.” =Antonio Gramsci=

[@FuroskiGoRawr]

[@Puroboi8894]

It's a shame Gramsci was a commie, some of his quotes go hard.

[@Sparrow9612]

@@Puroboi8894 Was he? I don't know anything about him. I just liked the quote.

[@SuprememessageNG]

@@Puroboi8894 Commies are based. Cope and seethe rightoid.

[@gorman971]

This quote doesn't refer to "monsters" like you see in science fictions or in heroic fantasy games. This quote from Gramsci is to be replaced in the context of early 20th century Italy, were a slow industrialization lead to big socioeconomic changes, and wars looming over Europe. Here, Gramsci says that the old traditional Italy is dying due to modernization, but at the same time, no new political system seems to emerge to fix the actual socioeconomic problems. In this times of uncertainty, "monsters" are born, fascism is one of them, (Gramsci died in prison under Mussolini's regime).

[@dymaxion3988]

Lately I’ve been seeing videos about Abiotic Factor, which is a HL1 inspired survival crafting game. I was watching Vinny (of vinesauce) playing, mostly for the wacky multiplayer antics, but the game actually takes a really interesting turn. At one point, you take a portal out of the science complex and wind up in just this sort of environment: urban, thick fog, eerily empty… I think the vibe actually somehow manages to survive in the face of several friends clowning around and the monsters that show up. I really like that they added that area to the game. It clearly takes inspiration from The Mist, the same story that also helped to inspire HL1. I think it’s a good sign when people making an homage to something are also obviously engaged with media and ideas that contributed to the original.

[@Jeppy]

I'm about to start a roadtrip, so this hour long video is perfectly timed. Thanks Librarian!

This guy's VR Gmod Exploring videos are like an analog horror series goldmine, his voice and commentary are both what makes these videos entertaining, hearing the fear in his voice makes you realize how far video games have gotten, before it was just some images flashing with loud sounds, now they actually make feel like your actually in danger. Keep up the good work dude.

[@Riccardo_Mori]

One of the most atmospheric GMod maps I've experienced in a long while. And your commentary is on point as usual. Cheers! //Rick

[@Maeve-The-Brave]

This is one of the most anxious and tense I’ve ever been watching one of these maps, and I watched it in the daytime. I adore the ambiance, the meta lore, and the fact that there are no jumpscares. The drip-fed dread was great

[@FuroskiGoRawr]

actually from my experience in stuff when the lights in the lightposts are yellow and blinking non-switch it means it's a area of risk and you need to get out of there.

[@lollol5263]

You should check out a little map called "bro said he knew a place"

[@Sebastianmaz615]

That "coughing" freaked me out right b4 you mentioned it. My thought was holy crap there's someone down there. 😀 11:51

[@burgbass]

Honestly this is just a random thought, but after your Control playthrough I always thought it’d be cool if you had the Service Weapon in place of the Safety Glock. Or just swap between them each episode depending on the vibes of the map.

[@grumpyhouse]

"...what are you? Some sort of pyramid..." I'm on to your scheme Sir.

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

Really atmospheric map with an endlessly unnerving apocalypse that we're not quite sure of, always a fan of those. Almost reminds me of that one map, Chris played with the entire underground temple complex underneath that desert area.

[@ironrogue0031]

The next time you have to open bathroom stalls, you should try punching them open like Randall from Monsters Inc.

[@FuroskiGoRawr]

that sounds so real

[@lukmort]

Just got home and got greeted by a creepy and comfy video, love this channel.

[@foof3344]

Your vids while falling asleep hit different

[@Freak80MC]

I can find it so hard to focus and concentrate these days, especially on slow paced things that aren't filled with a lot of visual and auditory stimulation, but I'm trying to watch this, at least for a little bit, and am about 5 and a half minutes in and it's nice, calming, and soothing. Idk, the atmosphere, your voice probably too. Also it's giving me major old feelings. I think it's because I used to watch a lot of Silent Hill as a kid growing up and sorta fell off that as I moved away from horror. In a way this is soothing because of that feeling of connection to my childhood, better times, simpler times. When I could focus on a foggy spooky town. When I wasn't constantly on the defense trying to anticipate the next thing that comes up in life, when I was okay with being scared or surprised. Why are the most positive things in this life so hard to actively do? Those scant few times I find myself able to focus for a bit on something relaxing, I always find it so nice yet it's so hard to initiate in the first place.

[@brianb-t4v]

These VR Gmod explorations are the perfect mix of creepy and comfy for me. Like getting a guided tour through a city in a different dimension. Even if it’s creepy, I know *I’m* not there, but at the same time knowing *you* practically are (knowing personally how intense VR immersion is) it still retains the creepy factor.

[@OperatorKowalski]

I have a solution to being scared on these types of maps. Carry a Glock with a flashlight Attachment. You could also use a 12 Guage shotgun, like the SPAS-12. An assault rifle such as the M4A1 would also do the job.

[@TheKevphil]

I really enjoy these explorations of yours! And the zombie-beasties at the end were just a bonus!

[@nodogre]

2:37 "some one should make a channel overlap-" *the librarian says, right before enter in the room. Only to shut due to see HIMSELF on the other side of the door looking with the same exact face expression shuting himself down due to have said the exact same words..*

[@iamtondro3747]

Jesus your channel is so underrated. Keep it up... Allthough you won't probably see this.

[@possum4004]

I'm pretty sure some of the sounds like the siren and the first few seconds of ambience after the ritual are actually from the Silent Hill games! I have the soundtrack of the first 4 games on my iPod, so I know the sounds pretty well. :-)

[@invisi-bullexploration2374]

Mr. Librarian! Has anybody made the City of Lud from the Dark Tower series into a map?! Lud is my favorite sci-fi city ever. A cross between the Jetsons and the Fallout games.

[@invisi-bullexploration2374]

And Blain. Who is not to be trusted. And this is the truth.

[@damienmeadows3546]

Have you heard of this game called dayz? The game has pretty big abandoned towns though repetitive it's still pretty cool to explore them,the towns are abandoned and falling apart and overgrown with weeds and vines which makes it pretty creepy even without the infected people roaming. The game is quite hard as it is without other people so if you ever see this and think its an interesting idea to try and play the game maybe try it first on a private server so you can focus on exploration and not people.

[@Cheeseheadablaze]

Not just the towns either like on the way to kamyshovo there’s a broken down Lada just chilling on the side of the road and it makes you wonder “what the hell happened?”

[@Russilly]

[@jaisheelal4006]

I think the two objects you found were a massively oversized plumb bob and a (somewhat less) oversized spirit level, both tools for measuring the straightness of something

[@LevitheEldritchAbomination]

45:35 Dunno if someone already put this, but according to a quick google search, it's either "For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth." Or "For by now I should have stretched out my hand and struck you and your people with such pestilence that you would have vanished from the earth." So, god, or something, did something in that reality. Or it was unrelated, and the reverend put that there because he wanted to find a correlation.

[@dawidpolasik3470]

Yaaay me too i thought that its was only gonna be a comfy map

[@tylerherr4288]

a horror idea ive been thinking of for a while based on dreams is what if just by some cosmic event that physics just stop working the way they did and entropy set in the sun grows dimmer by the day because its burning through material quicker then it should energy costs to power anything constantly increases a gallon of gas LITERALLY doesnt go as far as it used to because its taking more and more energy just to move atoms around weaker objects are literally falling apart because theres not enough energy sustaining atomic bonds and people just generally always feel terrible till they just keel over like something external to the universe is draining its energy

[@SBejarano83]

If I was the Developer of this GMod Map. I have given the Player a Time Limit to Escape the location instead of just putting you back into the beginning. For example that you would have to drive away or fly away from the Bomb before it goes off or have the Player have a Trigger to Detente it.

[@lordeshadowz]

What if the corpse is the corpse of your character from a past run, and you're essentially sacrificing "yourself" to bring life to the city, but it fails and you have to nuke the place, but you can never destroy it because it's a loop in time, and it's just going to redo.

Play and make a series about the game Don't starve together! It's a game about survival, horror, and not starving. One of the games unique traits is how it takes what we know of the current world and twists it into another reality, which is what it is. I find it to be simalar to minecraft, like 2d minecraft. I won't yap much more but please find out more about Don't Starve Together as it is a great game that would easily make one of your best let's play series! Please like this comment so librarian can see this, and if you do see this, please heart this comment so we know you will know!❤

45:26 Exodus 9:15, God tells Moses to confront the Pharaoh and say, "GOD, the God of the Hebrews, says: Release my people so they can worship me. This time I am going to strike you and your people with pestilence; and you shall be cut off from the earth". Yet, god allows the Pharaoh to survive to show his power and make his name known throughout the earth. Maybe the occupants of the map were struck with pestilence? A disease such as the one god was planning to use against the Pharaoh. Would make sense due to the quarantine posters, but yet at the same time wouldn't make sense due to the notes in the park.
