[@against1virus]

I love the idea of making games just to inflict pain and suffering on others. You could make a personalized hell by including everything your friends hate or fear. Maybe quiz them to find out what they dislike in games and try to include as much as you can. Hide little insulting messages all over the place to keep their spirits down. Make things safe to use and then suddenly it harms the player randomly. Add hints to puzzles that just lie and make even the simplest of puzzles impossible if you actually listen to the hints. Make basic mechanics like movement unreliable by randomly changing movement speed. Add false sound effects to cause anxiety after teaching the players that listening to sound cues is very important to survive. Trick the players into thinking they are nearly finished with the game and then reveal more chores to do. Make events with very low chance of triggering to create uncertainty so the player never gets completely familiar with the game. I cant wait to see what you come up with next.

How about a psychological horror that actually melts your brain in other ways: - Make the door opening animation painfully long - An extremely long tutorial explaining every single control (or mechanic/gimmick) - A key combination where only one single hint of just one single key/number/symbol exists - A meaningless picture that pretends to be veryyyy important (maybe found in a path that is very visible and can be seen often) - Random noises that scare the [?] out of you just like the Minecraft cave noises -> Maybe also a random discord ping every 30 minutes just to annoy the person playing - In the game, give the player a task that makes no sense as it has nothing to do to progress - [Too much Effort] Make it Non-Euclidean like the game "Anti-Chamber" where Circle-Paths have 5 corners or an infinitely long hallway - If you end up progressing up until the end, a hint will say that the last key is actually at the start of the game (which you are unable to reach) so you need to completely restart from the beginning -> This also makes it possible to have a random maze that has random halls and walls that weren't there for the first playthrough - Oh and for the sake of it, when you see a (fake) key and try to approach it while losing sight of it, it just so happens that it disappears.. huh Alright, have fun making it more painful!

“Vale, Where are the stairs?” Dom asked calmly.

[@Lanoman123]

“Vale, could you inform me where the stairs are?” Dom asked politely

[@nexusvoid_cringeiknow]

Even after months, I still come back to this. And the first reveal + Dom's reaction will always the best part of the video xD *grabs Key* Vale: Why did you-?!? Dom: *scream of terror* I DIDN'T KNOW!!! Also Dom: *completely calmly* Admittedly I should have known. Still Dom: BUT I DIDN'T KNOOOOW!!!

[@ThatguycalledJoe]

Idea for gaslighting your friends some more - Make a game that listens to the mic, make the monster in the game sensitive to sound from the mic with no warning that this is the case whatsoever, then run this format again but with that game. If they demand you prove it's beatable to them, show them you playing through a version that doesn't listen to the mic.

[@random58585]

That's So evil. I love it. I think I might make that myself

[@lordfelidae4505]

The only issue is that the game would ask to use the mic, spoiling the plot.

[@ThatguycalledJoe]

@@lordfelidae4505 Simply mask it using some puzzles that have to be done using one's voice. Easy.

[@santiv4]

@@ThatguycalledJoethat would make it even more obvious that ur mic is heard by the monster💀 a horror game isnt going to implement a voice puzzle for no other use than just puzzle.

[@ThatguycalledJoe]

@@santiv4 That's where a little trick called lying comes in, and the dummy version where the mic is ignored outside of those puzzles.

[@bladefox-ik5iy]

I think you missed a trick with the end thing. In addition to "Death Mode" triggering only when all 4 keys are in the locks you should have actually had the door next to them open but have it be a really long corridor that makes it impossible to outrun and/or evade the monster and end in nothing (or just a message or something)

[@jart1984]

man this game is definitely what a legit nightmare be for me. a dark and dusty complex that is eerily silent, the implication that *something* is going to get me, and the convoluted goals i need to achieve to escape it. good shit bro keep it up.

[@FlamingLily]

I’m glad Maivi opened up about her brain shortness not a lot of us are that brave

[@thatchywood]

all jokes aside, this game seems really cool to play but never finish. It's like sisyphus' boulder but in game form, i dont know why i like it so much

[@socomseal6861]

I would like to suggest a speedrun for this game. The "You failed"% run. Goal is to get caught as quickly as possible. Does the AI allow you to touch the monster and get caught if it's only in phase 2? Or do you need to get it to phase 3 and get lucky? Or is it best to rush phase 4 for the guaranteed ticking clock? Who knows! Not me!

[@january0th]

yeha patrons have access to the game, and someone is already doing it kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZvYeK2LeNqmsKc

Yes

[@jakeking974]

Damn, I hate when somebody reanimates my corpse by unleashing my cursed form, and I wake up with a GODDAMN cold! Fucking write-off of a day, I tell you.

[@shadows_star]

Other than it actually being uncompletable, this seems so well designed. It carries a lot of atmosphere and the beast has pretty good programming for what is the video

[@crackerjaq9974]

For the love of God, somebody please give poor Maivi a hug. In all of the videos I hear her in, she always sounds like she's on the verge of tears

[@dreadburnz3522]

Valefisk should try sneakily finding out what his friends are afraid of and then make a horror game with all that knowledge in mind. Could be fun. For Valefisk. And us. Not so much for his friends.

[@Damini368]

Not so much for his -friends- enemies. Fixed that for you.

[@mov7526]

Maivi: im gonna draw it in my phone. Valefisk: why not take a picture? why draw it? my man's game just broken that woman brain.

[@Lethamos]

Would have been funny to have a game with a hiding mechanic but no monster just to mess with people. Put hiding spots everywhere and have spooky ambient noises but no actual thing to hide from.

[@inescapableboi]

you've given him ideas

[@mackycabangon8945]

Should have made it so that getting hit by the monster just extinguishes your torch rather than ending the game

[@AceOfBlackjack]

Oh my goodness,

[@aikochan8404]

even worse holy

[@strawby]

Now im starting to think that if he had made it winnable, there wouldn’t be much of a difference

[@Napkino948]

the monster should sometimes be just inside of the palyers vision, and when they look at it, or move towards it, it moves back and that clinking plays. would scare the shit out of them maybe.

[@plaidcrow9246]

that thing jumpscared me like every time; the fact that it moves fast, but not too fast, and seems to just come out of nowhere due to the lighting is genius no wait he's faster than I was thinking still genius

[@palerider9565]

i love that gamers will literally think they've discovered a mechanic to the game but it literally has zero affect on the game

[@angmlr007]

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I really enjoyed the dev log at the end. It's cool that you know how to build a game like that - even if it's just to torture some folks.

[@trixie2558]

This looks hellish. Gonna go play it when I get a chance.

[@jakeking974]

Lmao I can just imagine the gang going through a haunted house and any time a ghost or monster comes at them, they just point a flashlight at it and yell "fuck off!"

[@AlterGS4993]

So there's 2 ways to approach this: either you aimlessly walk around in circles while being drunk until you eventually make progress OR try to be more big brain than Einstein himself, failing misserably in the process and getting progress by luck. Either way the result's gonna be the same bc... "THE GAME WAS RIGGED FROM THE START"

[@ChromePyramid]

I love your approach for the monster in the devlog portion I can't tell you the number of horror games I've played where the monster didn't truly scare me meanwhile in other games the "idea" of it lurking nearby watching me (Even if it didn't exist and was simply implied) did so much more torment to my psyche

[@aliksanon6491]

I like how the valefisk monster sees lynx and just nopes out like "I aint getting fed Enough to deal with that shit"

[@Ezonater]

This is super cool for "just" a KZbin video. I found your channel through the Geoguesser and Monopoly videos and I love putting on these super unique and long videos in the background. Great work (:

@@Alice-he2zh The callouts. Soccer fans often still listen to the radio to tell how the game is going, thus they are able to recognize EXACTLY what each word the announcer is saying means. "Rodrigo is running across the left side of the field unhindered... He passes it to Vasquez as Jona tries to bloc- OH OH VASQUEZ SCORES FROM CENTRAL!" And by tabletop, he meant games like DnD which is self explanatory.

A fucking checker board is something I never would've tried because I was thinking "It's not gonna be a checker board, that's literally the first thing anyone would think of"

[@synthetic240]

Reminds me of the Tomb of Horrors. The lich's tomb is hidden near where the dungeon first loops around, but you had to jump through so many hoops to get into a vault full of... fake treasure. I agree that the monster should go into kill mode after getting the last key inserted. Otherwise, quite spooky!

[@Solll0]

Can't wait for Crypt 2

[@NovelPond]

ah, the origin of short brain maivi

[@gutsgattsu5541]

An idea: the monster doesn’t actually kill the player when it gets near them. Instead, a prompt to pet the monster appears, and after being pet, the monster will return to its spawn and stay there. Just to fuck with the player.

[@somerandom3257]

But only once or twice… after that it does attack them
