YIIKS BETA ERA REFRANCE?!?!?!

[@hellkrai]

Yeah this is fun because you kind of get a little preview on how these videos are edited! Basically I have a whole bunch of save files at different points in the game that I go to and then I play through it and look for things that I think would be interesting to show in the background, And then record a short clip of it!

[@zoxolotl]

@@hellkrai how did u get the different camera angles?

[@hellkrai]

@@zoxolotl some unity loader thing idk what exactly something like "melon loader"

Essentia is basically what you get when you combine build-a-bear, ChatGPT, gooning and no meds. Truly a self-made man's Magnus Opus 👍 I've never delved into postmodern literature, I just like videogames, so running into Yiik has been quite a journey. These analysis videos are so fun to me cause it stitches together bits and pieces of "inconsistencies" I noticed during my first time watching a gameplay of it and bringing them together as an actual narrative with intent, not just "bad game is bad" like people tend to treat it. The Yiik community sure is interesting. Can't wait for the next one. These are a great series of videos.

[@Milkthrow]

Update: I've played the game to completion now, read all of ONISM and did all the side missions. I'm even more excited for the new videos and the game update.

[@linguisticspaceship]

I can't believe YIIK keeps getting WORSE!

[@amuro9624]

I keep yiiking harder and harder and it doesn't stop! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!!

[@bluntmore727]

Fr Alex fell off man SMH

[@xashans9754]

At 3:45 the cc heard Onism as “Autism” and it makes so much sense

[@MintyZedGrimes]

THIS WENT SO HARD AWESOME STUFF MAN I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE

[@rockaedward]

I've rewatched this video and others in this series several times at this point. Honestly, it's a bit sad that it wasn't all friendship. Even though they had no reason to be patient with Alex, or have a bond with each other, it was a kind of silly-fun thing to me. The theory that Alex actually drove everyone away from him with his anime protagonist syndrome and general lack of social skills is realistic, but still undoubtedly sad to me.

[@KaptainRaptor]

I think its interesting that through this, 995 saying "sometimes you have to lie to yourself to get something done" is not only true from the fact that Alex's motivation is a sham, but also that 2k's existence is the physical manifestation of Alex's delusion that him, Vella, and "Sammy" are deeply connected. Also very fitting for her to be a waifu made of plastic.

[@kevindukov8587]

You do incredibly great work, you really made me appreciate something i would not have given a chance!

[@redbirdtribe]

At first i didnt know what to make of these vids as i saw so many hate videos. But fr im so fucking dumb and everyone else is that thinks yiik isnt more then it seems. Thank u for opening my eyes to this game. Im going to play it eventually. I hope the algorithm pick up your channel someday you deserve it 100%

[@ilikegoblo4665]

I think another really good piece of evidence that the guy, who claims to be the boombox spectres brother, isn’t being honest is how he wants to get back Lianas tape but when you do give him the tape and go to South town you can see that he gave the Cassette to Shane so he would be haunted.

[@chippedgoat]

Aww man I miss the text boxes that show up when characters show up, though I can understand not including them given how long this video is, I can imagine it would be sorta a pain in the butt

[@KittyKatty999]

The "Alex In The Real World" account promoted this video!

[@Milkthrow]

I swear that man has to be the greatest PR this game has ever gotten.

[@hellkrai]

Love that guy he's literally the best!

[@HolyDemonSnap]

Always here for more analysis vids, thank you very much for all the work you put into this Hellk, as well as everyone else. :)

[@alexyiikintherealworld]

Amazing work!

[@rockaedward]

LETS GOOOO the new episode is here!

[@vellayiikintherealworld]

This is so high quality and in depth. Keep up the great work man.

[@MHF013]

I like your funny words magic man.

[@StarBlue42]

In one of the December scenes, she compares her life as Yuzu to her life as Oda though...or wait, are you saying she doesn't lie, even when she clearly seems to be, because technically Alex is the one lying? 🤔

[@hellkrai]

My point is I believe that there's a reason for it other than "the essentia is just lying" And it's important to figure out what that reason is

[@ilikegoblo4665]

THIS IS AMAZING HELLKRAI AMAZING JOB

[@gingerrbearr256]

HEY IM IN THIS VIDEO

[@zoxolotl]

[@alpha_c.]

this was a banger

[@sneeze4100]

bearded sad man has crude things to say about people who don't read his blogs, don't follow his socials, and don't know videogames good like he does. what he doesn't realize is that friendship is more important than real-dolls and his usual 8 hour go0ner grindset.

[@StarBlue42]

Are you familiar with the ballet Coppelia? I get a similar vibe from some parts of Essentia's mind dungeon.

[@livvy94]

Hell yeah! This is fascinating

That Alex big show roolz guy is fuck awesome 😂

[@greenpinapple820]

Hey man I appreciate the videos however I think this one could have been edited down to like at least 30 minutes really easily. Like did adding in the the wall girl's dialogue, Boom-box ghost's dialogue, Essentia, Oda, Nilah, etc. ACTAULLY make the video better? or just longer? reading these other comments I can see I'm in the minority here but even you got feed up with this boring shit which why you phoned in the video and didn't bother doing the text boxes. When its clear you think its too much effort to even make the videos at the standard you set for yourself, then why put all the dialogue in at all?

[@hellkrai]

I mostly decided against doing the textboxes because of how long it would take and that I was editing this on my birthday. That and I planned to re-edit/re-script the entire series as a single video later. Can it be trimmed down there? Sure but the difference would've been about 5 minutes at most. There's sections of this video that are "not necessary" sure but that's the point I wanted to comically go over it in exhaustive detail because it's a part of the game that people don't talk about

[@ilikegoblo4665]

I think this is a little funny especially compared to a lot of the other video essays that are hours long but barely if at all go into any nuance in yiik with most of their runtimes being dedicated to pretty poor recaps of the story, I do think the dialogue has purpose within the video and if you compare it to the ingame scenes you can already see that it’s cut down, if Hellkrai really was “fed up” and found it boring why include it in the video at all or have people voice the dialogue that isn’t voiced in the game? Seems like a lot of effort for him to put into a part of the video that you think was phoned in
