Gab, as a native spanish speaker I can assure you the translations were so good. I was impressed. I think the puzzles were meant to be as challenging in spanish as in english. There were many fancy words I didn't know the meaning of lol. Great game.

Back in the early 2000s you didnt have to dial the first 3 digits. So if you had a number 1112223333 you could just enter 2223333. I dont recall when that changed though.

[@PinkPanther45518]

​@@aceofkpop1243 To be honest that is the best kind of revenge that could be brought up on him. His evil actions left him destitute, miserable, lonely, and sick. He left his vows to his beloved, so he was left suffering in the cruel world he created alone. He should have treated her and their children better. Now he gets to suffer in life and death. Without the comfort and love of his wife and children, only then did he truly realize his mistake when there was nothing left for him. What a sad foolish man he was.

[@DuneDemon8]

Don Quixote was actually a obligatory book we had to reed in the elementary school. I think it was six grade, in Europe this is for kids of 11-12 years of age. I remember loving the book. Everybody in the class found it very boring, but me as a kid that grew up with RPGs it was like reading a parody, like an delusional RPG enthusiast went out one day to relive it all. I was so nerdy about it I found a full (unabridged) version of the book and manage to read it in time. it is one of thsoe books you either love or hate.

[@thelocaldork]

yeah i had to read it for spanish class and I thought it was funny but a bit ridiculous at times

[@sieracooper7024]

Me singing "Don't Pay the Ferryman" *Gab puts the coin in immediately* "I said DON'T pay the Ferryman!"

[@fancydeer]

I cried at the end. I'm just overly emotion rn but man I was so glad it ended the way it did. After that guy experimented on babies and turned kids into "monsters" and was all "omg why are these kids becoming mindless killing machines after we torture them and keep them from their siblings and rip them from their parents and keep them in a radioactive hole in the ground??" And then Dara was talking about her brother and how he lived and couldn't understand why his dad wasn't responding and the sad boys that lived with him and his death and stuff. IDK the end was good.

[@vivil8005]

The guy just wanted to reach mass-production of psychics as soon as possible. Ethics be damned. Heck, plain old scientific method be damned. He was so focused on his twin theory he completely neglected the possibility triplets could work as well. Truthfully, there is a bit of a plot hole here, just something I'd like to have more explanation on. Why not keep Desmond? We didn't hear anything about him having any health conditions, so between him and Devon, you'd think the scientist would put more effort into the healthy one. I'd have liked to have heard more on that reasoning. You can come up with a couple decent theories (Desmond was the last born, and the dude thought only the first two would have a connection, or that he gave Desmond away to keep the gov funding for a little while longer). But it should be expounded upon. Like, we have no idea how much the Ministry knows-was Desmond assigned to this case on purpose, or was it just happenstance?

[@CelticLuna]

@@vivil8005 I was thinking of them wanting the kids to be raised in different environments to see how they would grow up to be but yeah it could've been about the funding.

[@PinkPanther45518]

Ooooh! I knew it. I knew Desmond had to be related to Daya. Didn't know he was from triplets though. That makes a lot of sense though. It also makes sense why he can see things that regular folks can't or hear voices others can't. He could have literally watched everything happening through the eyes of the people around him. So in a way the events we see unfold around us are just his memories bubbling to the surface about what actually took place here. That's so creepy being able to see things that aren't there but just memories from another person's view. So cool and super creepy.

[@elizabethrose2523]

​@@vivil8005I'm wondering if it was a case of Devon and Dara being identical and Desmond just being fraternal as that can happen with multiples. If he only implanted 2 embryos than one must've split.

[@sharondornhoff7563]

@@elizabethrose2523 Not possible. Identical twins are always of the same sex; if anything, Devon and Desmond might've possibly been identical. The game used the term incorrectly, or the translator did.

this is my favourite kind of gabs video... cozy horror, movie length, perfect to have as background while i do tasks or draw

[@hotjoe-wl8gc]

A long new gameplay video. My evening today is rescued.Thank you Gab for this new upload. The beginning looks a bit spooky when walking trough the woods. But graphfic looks nice too🥰🥰👍👍

[@melissatheminx4710]

Great playthrough, thank you Gab. The one thing that irked me through the game was that the place was sealed in 1976-ish. Yet, the older characters in the game were wearing late Victorian dress. If Dr Lewelin was around till the 70's that would have made him about 90 odd years old. You would have thought that they would have tried to get the dress correct, for people who would have been having children in the 1950's. Instead , theyre wandering around in Victoriana,.. and then Dara shows up in contemporary modern clothes. Its all over the place...

[@Vikki_T]

That was a great ending for a short game. I honestly thought he was the twin until we find out what happened to the twin, and with everything pointing only to twins in the game, it made my brain rule out anything more. Yeah, the timer was a weird point, especially given it only activated when you entered. I think something like this would make a good TV show, and at the last episode or part when Desmond comes out Dara can narrate instead of him.

[@RosinaEmilyW]

I guessed it, but only because I am nit picky. Dara was hearing “voices” which wouldn’t make sense if she was only hearing Devon. And if there was one aspect of translation you’d make sure to do right, it would be that. Although saying “hearing voices” is a common phrase, if it was only one, I felt like Dara would have been a bit more specific. I was still unsure though, and enjoyed the twist just the same! Fantastic game!

[@Vikki_T]

@@RosinaEmilyW oooh, that's a good point! They would have said "hearing a voice" if it was just one person 🤦🏾‍♀️that was such a huge clue I overlooked.

[@PinkPanther45518]

So I think I'm on the right track. Is Desmond the third sibling that was completely ignored by the doctor? That's the only thing that makes sense to me, because in the beginning I thought he was Dara's twin until they said something about Devon, then I thought he either had his name changed or he was somehow a third sibling of Dara and Devon, because his name is Desmond. There just seemed to be a theme with D names, so it would make sense for Desmond to somehow be related to all this or just some insane coincidence which I find highly unlikely. Also, doctor dude is super messed up!

[@gyorgy4386]

At 12:54 Those are paintings of Alphonse Mucha. Mucha was a Czech artist, painter, and illustrator that worked during the Art Nouveau period. He became famous for creating a very shrinking stylistic way of portraying celebrities and models of the time, which became a marker of the Art Nouveau movement in itself. Many of his works became posters and banners for large brands and companies of the time, as well as of celebrities such as Sarah Bernhardt, one of the great French actress of the 20th century. Also, Mucha and I share the same birthday :) Great play through as always ❤

[@babyshiori]

12:51 I could be wrong. But the art looks like the work from the artist Alphonse Mucha. His work is so beautiful!!! ❤ I want a tattoo inspired by his work. He has instrumental role in democratizing art through posters and was known for it in New York and also the Czech Republic and France. Whoever has those beautiful art posters in that huge house has taste in art! 😅

[@softchocolatemousse4708]

Alfons Mucha was Czech actually. His biggest work ever was the "The Slav Epic" in which he celebrated the history of Slavic nations (and therefore his own roots). Unfortunately, he never completely finished it (it is a cycle of 20 large canvases and I think the last 3 or so were never completed)

[@peachysandie]

Additionally, the style is Art Nouveau (somewhat related to Art Deco), beautiful architecture and furniture design, and an absolutely beautiful art style.

[@freakishuproar1168]

This is awesome! Something about it feels like an Algernon Blackwood story, that kind of hushed and almost reverential eeriness.

That opener made me think of a horror version of Dragnet, kinda. I’m just imagining this guy narrating everything he’s doing. Just talking to himself in the night. The growls legit sound exactly like my dad snoring and I find it hilarious 😂 Charon is kinda the Greek Grim Reaper. He takes souls to the Underworld via the river Styx. They’d put a coin in dead people’s mouths so they could pay him, because he won’t take you if you don’t pay. It’s weird.

[@macrograms]

llewellyn is Welsh (Wales). Desmond is historically Irish (Ireland). The druids, celts, especially the Welsh were the last to fall into conflict with the Roman and British empires. the facilities of oak grove (game) seem a metaphor for this as dissent was isolated, tortured, and destroyed with cruelty in non-fiction just the same.

This was really interesting. I didn’t think he was Devon, but I wondered about his “visions.” I was thinking that maybe they had developed some way of giving their soldiers and spies some telepathic abilities, but did not think it would end that way. Good twist. I totally agree with the “timed” parts. I really don’t like timed games. I like to take my time, look around, check everything out. I don’t want to be rushed, and I’m not competing against anyone but myself in any game, so, yeah - timing things sucks. Lol!

Gab: "Did phones just have seven digits back in the day?" Me, who is old enough to remember rotary dials: *momentarily confused, actually starts counting on fingers* Uh, no, because that doesn't even make mathematical sense. Including the number 0, the minimum number of numbers you need to dial any number is still 10. Because, like, we count numbers in Base 10, usually. That phone can't call any number that includes the numbers 8, 9 or 0. Which is _a lot_ of numbers. And that last number is _especially_ important. Because again, our whole system is based around Base 10, which includes the number 0.

[@pauljames9738]

It's an intercom system, not an actual telephone connection. The numbers are single-digit speed-dial, one for each station. I think here's a note which gives what each number connects to.

[@davidhoffman6595]

So that also explains why Agent Desmond could see the images of “ghosts”; they weren’t actually spirits of the dead 💀, but rather, they were the memories of his siblings sent via their telepathic connection. And since such communication was through telepathy, their deceased brother’s memories were also Dara’s. So she sent Desmond her knowledge of said transmitted memories to Desmond to help him figure things out along the way.

[@belikereepicheep]

[@magentafox1657]

I really like this game but I agree with you on the timed elements especially timed puzzles. I think they added the timer to emphasize how dangerous the circumstances the agent Desmond was in. In terms of game play though timers are just stressful and especially with puzzles it removes the ability to pause and think through everything. Obviously there is in game pause but I don't really like that you have to resort to that. Anyway, my conclusion is I think timed elements can add to the atmosphere of the game but they also make it frustrating for the player so ideally there would be an option in accessibility or game play settings to turn off or on timed elements.

[@Palitato]

Internal phone lines were meant only to communicate on a closed system of other phones connected to it. So they didn't need as many numbers as a regular telephone.

SPOILER: Ǵab Epilogue: The codes on the final map for the keypads was the delibarate(and sorta 4th-wall breaking**) way of showing you can stop the countdown, just so you can read the documents.. Since time would resume as soon as you leave the area.. and all the places with these keypads in this final area are where there are documents as well.. At least, I do not think there is any other relevant conclusion to be drawn.. Other than to give the player the time to read said documents. 4th wall breaking, unless they would've made an in-world explanation why the countdown would pause.. Perhaps something like, 'You can use these keypads to dump emergency water-reserves on the core.. But this needs to be supervised, that's why the countdown resumes as soon as you leave the area.. And also add some addendum on a note somewhere, to mention that 'In case of a meltdown, this will not stop a cascade-level event in the fission-reactor, only pause it.' -Or something like that.

I can't imagine anyone from the eu actually investigating the place, since it's so difficult to get out of AND will be full nuclear radiation soon. for a sciency horror story it actually worked quite well for me, except for the twinplets themselves. first of all, the line 'born identical twins, male and female' is impossible. for identical twins to be different genders one of them would have to transition later in life. also, llewellyn had implanted the embryos himself, and it seems very unlikely that he and his wife had had sex at that time (they had 'grown distant') so the only way there could be a secret third triplet was if one of the implanted embryos doubled, and devon had a heart condition. which leaves us with two possibilities. llewellyn didn't actually know that identical twins have the same genetics and dara and devon are as related as normal siblings (which would contribute to his experiments failing, lol) or he had, for some reason, modified the egg that would become dara to have 2 X chromosomes instead of XY and the genes for devon's heart were sex linked (on the Y chromosome). either way that makes desmond a canon trans man, since he would be the identical twin of dara, since if he was devon's he would presumably share the heart condition. of course, I'm making a lot of assumptions about the heart condition being genetic, but since it was there from birth and their conditions in the womb were the same it makes the most sense to me. ayway sorry to ramble on about science technicalities but I wanted to get this out of my brain, lol. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and game setup overall!

This is the best, it's cold out I've got my dog and my coffee and my favorite streamer to watch!

This is just the kind of thing I like to put on while I write reports for work. ❤

that light going out in the opening is something that happened to me in real life, it was a genuinely scary moment

Idk if anyone else noticed this, but the name of the game is also a theatre term, specifically to do with the greek classics. Charon is the ferryman that guides souls across the river Styx to the underworld. And Charon’s staircase refers to a staircase in the middle of a stage that leads down to the orchestra pit where characters will come from/go to signal that they are from/going to the underworld.

Awesome game so far, it's totally giving me Dear Esther vibes with the narration and the soundtrack.

It would be nice if games like this and Painscreek had a relaxed play option because I hate being timed so much and I'm way more interested in the atmosphere than monsters and chase sequences. I get it it's probably way harder to have a mystery solving game with just a tense spooky atmosphere and no timed/monster/chase segments than it is to have it with. Anyway I enjoyed watching this.

I would recommend the Inheritance of crimson manor for that type of game play!

We’re gonna spend summer together. Cool? I recently found you and am loving your long videos, especially the mystery ones! Thank you for being amazing. Girl power!

11:23 - it's worth the time. A dense read but a lot of fun. 12:55 - Yeah, those are either Mucha pieces or they're really good works in the same style.
