An Analysis of Yames' Indie Horror Games

[@kanjonojigoku8644]

Ive loved Yames style for a while now,the body horror of them was very appealing, im glad someone made a video covering them

[@AngDevigne]

Your one liners are so satisfying. "You want god so bad babe. Quit turning into a trout." Had me ROLLING. 😂 TYSM.

[@Invader19x]

My favorite part of Growing my Grandpa is how proud he is of his good word pronunciation, its really cute

[@muggerrock2969]

EDITH FINCH MENTIONED HELL YEAH 🦌🐟🚂🪁

[@briancoulombe4517]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a guy so chill about slowly mutating into another creature before. The above statement can apply to discover my body and water womb world

[@mellizard]

i'm glad i discovered yames from watching manlybadasshero playing his games like Discover My Body and Water Womb World. i love yames!!

[@Zorothegallade-gg7zg]

All of yames' works have a transhumanist component to them. Humans assuming a completely different form, whether it's a new, alien one or a regression to a more primal, atavic shape. And they're never portrayed as purely good or bad. Change in itself is neither, however odd and upsetting it might be to the human mind.

[@Burn1ngPotato]

In my opinion, a game that gives similar vibes to yames' games is Fear & Hunger. So many grandious and uncanny things happen in the lore and gameplay that you cannot help but feel like you are partaking in a helpless lovecraftian myth. And the soudtrack is great too!! Im finishing my Digital Games classes in uni and I definitely have both developers as great references for the horror genre. Great video btw! Subbed and looking forward for the next videos!

[@calypsosystem3726]

The fact this only has 1k views is CRIMINAL. The level of analysis is so interesting and your humor is exactly my type, especially the parts with grandpa lmao, i never comment, but this is worthy of praise! Keep up the good work! And honestly the younger sibling gene is so real😭😭 i died like 10 times in faith chapter one

[@meganholt432]

Yames is so inspiring!! I'd never seen The Well before! His games are so unique and terrifying, but also you can't look away~ Also you're so right about Inscription, we need more hype talk! Yames, Faith, and Inscription are the unholy trinity and I love them

[@mannymoctopusREAL]

these games, especially The Well, remind me of Who’s Lila? that game is so beautiful and has such an amazing story, i recommend anyone reading this watches the video about the game (i forgot who uploaded it, but i think the title is something like: the greatest mystery you can’t solve. it’s so good..)

[@grimmelle]

yes!! i remember watching the beginning of a playthrough of that game a long time ago, but I never finished it. Thanks for reminding me to go back to it!

[@masterzoroark6664]

Analog horror- something bad happened, I describe it, here's a picture to come with it to hammer it in. Ymes games (and many good cosmic horror tales)- something happened, I can't describe or explain it, so here's a picture, try to describe it yourself

[@squiidu]

Hi! I was introduced to your channel by the Anatomy of Cars video. The Tomie video and the My Candy Love playthroughs (lol I completely forgot I played the game too) are some of my favourites of yours. Yames games have always fascinated me, so it was wonderful watching you cover them! Keep it up with the great content

[@fiery_scream]

Yames is one of my fav developers! So excited to hear your thoughts.

[@Mmmmmmmona]

I always click on your videos immediately ❤ you've got me hooked.

[@Scott_Inksmith]

Yeah yames is the only game dev pushing completely fresh ideas that don’t seem to be influenced by anything popular. Remote ultra dark and unique horror ideas that borrow little to nothing from current AAA game concepts. So refreshing to be taken to new depths of terror and existential questions.

[@cassieisnothere]

19:22 "Have some self-respect, stop turning into a trout" took me out LMAO 🤣

[@hermyone98]

Love your videos! And I gotta say that since you enjoyed Growing My Grandpa so much, I highly recommend checking out the manga Dungeon Meshi, which is also an anime with episodes still coming out on a weekly basis. They have completely different vibes and I don’t wanna spoil anything but yeah that’s just my two cents. Thanks again for making such cool videos!

[@carbonstealer6389]

CAPTIONS!!!!! HALLELUJAH

[@hellbound_psyker]

I adore Yames, he's such a big inspiration for my own work. Really happy to see you cover him.

[@AlyssaCPA]

water womb world is by far my favorite game of the yames series, i remember it used to be an inside joke with my old friends and we'd play it like once a month on a stream.. water womb world is so good im glad its got more eyes on it now

[@michaelvalentin9136]

I enjoy your work! you should keep enough savings from this for a rainy day fund. YT has a history of chronically messing with people’s money and I want to see your series to continue into the far future🤝👏

[@user-hf1qu2yf1j]

I’d love a video on analog horror later!!

[@cthulusauce]

I like Yames’ work, it feels like nightmares I’ve had. I’ll definitely be playing through more of their games.

[@ruliak]

I LOVE YAMES I WILL WATCH ANYTHING ABOUT YAMESSSS

[@TheCaliMack]

0:57 I don't know if i feel seen or called out 😂😂😂

[@therolliewoodshow]

i’m glad this got more views over time :) good job

[@Barakon]

22:17 it might be a pentacle to ward away evil.

[@delphilashay-el5453]

All your videos feel like I’m at a slumber party with the besties!! And we all know that at some point in the night a scary story has to be told.

[@user-ks2ik5uj4k]

YEAAAAAAH YAMES ACKNOWLEDGMENT!!!!!!!!!!!! LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[@lietalies8747]

This is so interesting and I love your analysis. I always know when I pull up one of your videos that it’s gonna be amazing

[@aqlcaramsm3907]

great video! based on the style, I would recommend you to play Ghost Suburb Zero and Ghost Suburb II they're some of my favorite of the abstract rpg maker horror games, and I think they're great experiences to be played without much context. I can promise you're gonna love them based on the video!

[@PatrickBatemanVietnamBush]

I love Little Nightmares too! Super hyped that their next game is coming out pretty soon this year, hoping you check it out for a vid maybe

[@carpiioo.806]

Watched up until growing my grandpa! Going to finish it after playing the game myself hehe :3 (commenting this as a reminder for myself)

[@blah3189]

Just found your channel - and I’m glad that I did

[@littlebighead4482]

miro who made fear and hunger and termina, check them out, really interesting stuff and loads of cosmic horror

[@hohi534]

You could look into Kitty horror show! She has really cool and original games that i find are pretty of similar to yames.

[@acidvolcano]

I AM NUMBER 1 YAMES FAN AND I LOVE UOUR VIDA

[@a_literalrat1096]

I love you grimmelle so glad I found your channel

[@brandanvaquerano5809]

Hell yeaaa ankther Grimelle vid

[@dopytheangel]

The Garden of Eden only exists with invisibility. You will never find it.

[@starrs802]

Absolutely agree with u. I "watch" games for the art. Searching for the most uniqe concepts that realy amaze me. It inspired me to become a 3d artist and let me beginn to learn blender. Im also trying to study gamedesign (i hafe to katch up on a school degree first). I dont realy care if the flying mechanics on a game are fun. as long as there is a uniqe concept and good story telling in the game like. The void stranger Omori Almost everything from kitty horrorshow.

[@redrain89]

I think you'll like Mothered by Enigma Studio

[@0jeej0]

YeaHHHHH I LOVE THIS FELLA

[@mostrecenthero]

Great job with the vid!

[@flyingpiggy1475]

Who’s Lila is so good, but god I love yames, he is so good

[@Danthecardboardman]

1 hour vid? Hmm, dont think i need to study tonight xD hurray

[@membarassing]

YAMES PLZ GIB US NEW GAMESSS AAAAAAAA

[@jimmy_os]

Can you make a sequel to the Pixar Cars video

[@WilliamLaurenson]

1:00 so cute lol

[@an_enigmaticdream]

42:21 : not exactly a horror movie or series, but there is this one species in a series called dungeon meshi, and later on a type of creature is introduced, they are called demons, powerless at the very beginning but granting peoples wishes and desires to lure people in and consume said desires and wishes will turn them more powerful and more knowledgeable, to dungeon masters, (this part might of been theory so I’m not sure if this is fully true) they would turn into what a dungeon master needs, like an insecure dungeon master would need a more soft animal by their side, only two demons are seen really, and one of them has a more antagonistic role, (spoiler) the demon took a characters desired and wishes to consume and went into the characters body to use it as a vessel and feel it’s own desires

[@kaleboi.]

about the new ps1 style game i HIGHLY recommend the poop killer franchise 10/10 i think there's like 7 chapters

[@nikicherry1234]

♥♥♥

[@Soulsfromthevoid]

The best thing about assuming the narrator is insane is that if you ever watch The Tick on Prime... You will be 💯 correct in that assumption.

[@becca652]

Constructive criticism: the intro feels very long and rambly. A lot of unrelated stuff, it felt like

[@guidedexplosiveprojectileg9943]

Nope.

[@keelyparker8466]

Hard disagree! Made me feel like I was on FaceTime with my friend! Tangents are fun and context is important!

[@smileyghostkat3068]

It Set the vibe!

[@ExStepsister]

You're going to get too high huffing your own farts, and forget who you are. Nvm I'm just old

[@purpleblah2]

The Inscryption fandom is dying, like if you're a real Incel.

[@SamGarcia]

Why does everyone think being part of a hivemind will solve our problems of community, it's literally the internet but 1000x worse.

[@ExStepsister]

Have you considered playing games?

[@chucklebutt4470]

Have you watched any of Flawed Peacock's videos? They're crazy detailed (and long), he recently covered Inscryption.

[@TheDonLemonSnickety]

hmm i had a lot of thoughts through this video and ur commentary but all i can really focus on is…what kind of terrible sins could fish possibly commit to fall from grace?? that’s the prequel i need. “And you thought your Eden was awesome; We Wuz Fishes in the womb of God“
