in case anybody reads this: the video DOES NOT show the end of the game! If you're at all curious what happens, you should buy it! It's so cheap! It's permanently changed my brain chemistry.

In the moment. The worst thing is easily... Well... We all saw the end of the video.

[@jazon80r13]

@@colt1903 Debatable.

[@colt1903]

@@jazon80r13 Not really? In a time loop setting, you "lose" when your actions cause more misery to the people in the loop than the actual loop itself. Cuz that's the indication of your morals dying. Siffrin kills a child. Not only that but rips off/eats their face to do so. In a loop setting, the moral death is usually worse for all involved than the looper themselves dying. Because once the looper stops caring, once they start to actively use the loop to hurt rather than help, that is the moment that any hope of breaking the loop either ceases, or stops mattering. Because there's no meaning in victory if the person who comes out the other end is a monster who can't live with the guilt of their own sins. That's more or less the reason every time loop story is one of perseverance. That moral death becomes just as if not an even more important antagonist than anything else. And seeing a character push past that, overcome it, recover from it, etcetera... That is, in no small part, what makes so many loop stories great.

For anyone interested, Steam currently has this and Slay The Princess in their Monochromatic Time Loop Bundle, and also has this game on their daily deal right now, so it's actually only 16 or so for the next seventeen hours as of writing this comment! I definitely am buying the game to support the devs, and to rip open myself, but in the interim, I'll just be pocketing my purchase and heading over to the full VOD for this game. Thanks for introducing me to another lovely game that is sure to rip apart my insides, Jello!

@@raven-starcatcher I’d argue outer wilds is more personal, because the themes it encompasses apply to real life a significant amount more then JRPG style adventures. Sure, there is less dialogue, but the all encompassing idea of the literal end of the [spoilers] and the thousands of civilisations that came before us and how they carried us to where we are today. Especially considering, this adventure, no matter how bad it gets, INNATELY has the issue that there is an obvious solution. This can make a great story, but it means that it will never be hopeless, because even if there is an infinitely low chance her friends are told about the time loop, it isn’t zero and thus it will happen (it’s not a matter of if, but when).

Damn now I actually do want to see a game like that. There's no good ending, there's only a downward spiral your character goes through until they've literally exhausted every option possible down to the last minute choices, only for their final choice to be embracing apathy and not even entertain the loop anymore, not bothering to interact or acknowledge anything as the cycle spirals in on itself to seconds of eternity passing like whirlpool swallowing itself. They've killed everyone, saved everyone, in each possible quantifiable sequence, in every observable universe, they've done it and it all just comes back to the start. Basically going through the entire 5 stages of grief, slamming face first into a brick wall at Depression, and never being able to go through it. What happens to a man who's given the chance to relive a single moment in their life for the rest of eternity with no way to move on? He'll eventually stop trying. Now what should we call this nihilistic psychological horror existentialist nightmare? Maybe 'Boros'?

the speed at which I clicked this I’m so excited to see certain bits animated LETS GO

I can’t get over the glass shatter sound effect edited in to play when entering combat. It’s so subtle that I can’t stop laughing at it.

"Even though you're not friends. Even if just allies." DAMN. That hurt so much this time.

[@ZomBro_BOSS]

I love when jello plays a game and has friends voice the characters

Just imagine me doing a little dance when I saw this video in my subbed tab That editing bit towards the end was so *chef's kisses*

27:07 Jello: "Why don't we test out the mouth feel together?" Shows pineapple My Brain: audio hallucinates the grapefruit technique. The Internet has ruined me.

[@maximusharbour3463]

First I thought "Oh a video that might be sort of fun". but then I realized it was a JelloApocalypse main channel video and therefore guaranteed to be a masterpiece I will rewatch at least four times.

[@ijlayugan4149]

I just realised that Jello edited almost EVERYTHING in blackwhite monochrome. Like in 4:38 Where that heart overlay is white and not pink or red like it usually is. And even Sav's avatar isn't in color. I love this!

[@local_space_dennys]

I need to go watch the VODs now. Just watching the edits gave me such a spike of anxiety that I need to see the story unedited. Thank you for showing this series for me Jello.

[@draconicenigma2813]

YESS! I finished ISAT recently and was so disappointed when I realised it didn’t have the fame it deserves, hopefully this can boost its popularity a little :D:D

[@blindonabudget6953]

the full playthrough that jello has of this game is INCREDIBLE. please watch it, it's genuinely so funny

[@deucesommerfeld1248]

This. Is Undertale vibes mixed with a HEAVIER tone of nihilism. The idea of being able to loop unending, to return to the "Save point", and able to redo everything again and again. But everytime you come close to breaking it, everytime you finally are happy and have progressed, strived to overcome and triumph... you fail. You are sent to the beginning. It's what I imagine Flowey feeling after experiencing the power of resets. First he's fine, he's strong, he can do what he wants! But then... he's done it all... with NOTHING left to do. Until you come along. Frisk comes along. I don't think Siffrin is given that opportunity.

[@elenafriese891]

I mean, they *are!* They just don't look like Siffrin when it happens

[@AwsumLink]

I love the detail of you keeping the game black and white for everything (except the Jordan’s of course)

[@Sinnohfreak387]

6:04 Not the only moment where this kind of thing happens. This game gets so much characterization out of even basic game mechanics!

[@zaratousta1]

32:47 "Back to the stage." You know what ? It's not inacurate to say I feel seen here, espetially with the repetition of "I'm fine" that precede it... BUT it would be more acurate to say I feel like I was axekicked in the lungs. Love the vid, game looks incredible, big thanks to the creator of both, I'm taking five to contemplate life and eat something before continuing tho.

[@LuperisNone]

Buddy... Consult friends, family or therapist if you are too Siffrincore plezy

[@zaratousta1]

@@LuperisNone Siffrin is thankfully more akin to my younger self than the me of today, and friend, family and therapy are very much to thank for that (And me too, I did my part ^^). But seeing some of the habits I've kept from that time and taking an outsider look at where I was at a point in my life is... Well it's moving for sure. Thanks for your concern.

[@sharkylady]

OH MY GOD LET'S GOO!!!!!!! MORE SUPPORT FOR IN STARS AND TIME, JELLO I AM SHAKING YOU VIOLENTLY

[@ianchandler3282]

As someone who bought the game shortly after watching this video and played it through to the end in a discord call with a bunch of buddies. I was not prepared for anything that was left out, this game is a wild ride and is worth every penny.

[@Paigefox07]

The editing in this video is really good, especially at the end. It really captures Sif’s feelings of insanity with how fast it goes from hard moment to hard moment. And then when the faces of their friends and their voices calling their name with a bunch of loops happening. And the music. It really makes a point, and it sticks. It feels kind of like a movie trailer. I haven’t played this game, but I feel like it’d be a game that leaves me with a really deep feeling in my chest that I can’t describe. I’m gonna go watch a play though

[@SlyJMan]

I've seen a total of 2:30 of this video and now refuse to watch any more until I beat this game.

[@funnylittlecreature]

Huh! That's funny. That section of the video just so happens to cover exactly the amount of content in the demo!! That's a really cool coincidence!

[@jeremylugodas]

this has the meta-narrative vibe that is almost like undertale, but the character you play as actually has a voice. i also like how you “choose” what the character says for dialogue which adds to the meta side of the game. so it’s like undertale but better

[@stupogo0]

what a great hyper cut! while i'm sad almost nothing from the last 2 hours was in it, I also realize its really hard to pick the 'best bits' from the leg of the game and also people can just buy the game and see it themselves if they don't watch the VODs , TYVM for playing the game!

[@JiroTheFro]

Oh no. That ending of the video. Now I'm going to have to play this game. I'm not even a big fan of rpgs. This is going to be the next Undertale, I'm calling it now

[@JelloApocalypse]

go play the game go play the game go play the game

[@JiroTheFro]

@@JelloApocalypse I’m doing the good work of spreading this game as far as I can. Definitely on my list of one of my next games to play

[@Teebyzmal]

Did I finish the game before finding out yall played it? YES Do I still feel like crying every end-of-act housemaiden visit??? YES a billion times

[@bongo_draws7343]

HOLY CRAP! I just started this game yesterday thanks to my friend and head canoned that Loop would have Mr Puzzles voice and it’s basically real now!! This is amazing!

[@PainCausingSamurai]

The excellence of this game and the quality of the voice acting (not to mention the banter) made these streams better than any movie or show I've seen this year.

[@MusicalBloodDrop]

What track is that at 41:08? Even going through the OST I haven't been able to pinpoint it haha, it's so pretty! The plink of the piano matched up to Sif waking up is so heart-wrenching ugh 💔 Edit: Nvm found it ♥ It's "How Can You Help Me, Stardust?" :)

[@Concavewaters]

I appreciate jello keeping thr ending vague, it was great, even in the playthrough he skipped a bunch of epilogue dialogue to be like, heyyyy. Buy this gameeeee. $20 dollarrrrs. Anyway love this vid, thank uou for it!! The ending was very cool!!

[@charlieseen]

I'm so glad you guys streamed this game. It rearranged my brain cells in the best way possible and I love it

[@user-yx7yh9zv1d]

Vixen's commitment to the French pronunciation is so funny

[@GustSergeant]

Well, when you're forced to learn French for a majority of your school career, it's hard to *not* commit.

[@Space_Bones]

My favorite kind of art: Cute and stylish characters overcome with intense physical or mental states. or as otherwise stated: Mask of Turmoil

[@ivorywizard]

I was not watching the live streams when they happened, but I want to thank you for playing this game because it helped more people discover it, and that's great because ISAT is a work of art.

[@TheOldYoungOne]

Holy crap someone covering In Stars and Time! I loved this game for its characters and story, was so invested by the end of the game!

[@pbeardedl1201]

We looped so hard we changed the title, Stardust

[@trioncz.9334]

Glad to see this thing getting the recognition it needs

[@pircachupi4771]

Seeing this video show up was one of the things that pushed me to go finally get ISAT and play it when I'd heard a few good things about it. Now that I'm back here after completing it... I'm impressed by your restraint. Keeping the climax of the game a secret, and encouraging people to experience it themselves. All with some really good editing to really sell it. This game physically hurt me too, and I'm so glad I got to experience it. I really hope more people do.

[@mranderson9553]

i'm going to be honest when it was talking about the picture capturing their friendship i thought it was alluding to how siffrin was starting to plan to freeze time, stop the loop at a point where they were happy, where everyone was happy, where they and everyone else could be frozen together, haven't seen the games end so this may be waffle but it sounds cool

[@SFX0078]

Gods this game is so good and deserves so much more attention. All your voice acting pushes it even further beyond that.

[@spottedpelt1256]

genuinely thanks to yall for introducing me to this game, its quickly become one of my most favorite of all time

[@potatoefanner2098]

Playing the game after watching the stream, I decided to always loop back to the town, and the knowledge that I can take my time meant I could interact with every little thing. Seeing Bonnie blow up at you during the second snack time, hit really hard. This game toys with your emotions, and I love each and every minute.

[@luminnoctis]

Jello!! Thank you for introducing me to this game so, so much. I watched half of this video and immediately knew I'm going to fall in love with it, so I bought it, finished it yesterday, and it grabbed me by the collar and punched the shit out of my heart. I will be going back to watch your vods to add the top tier voice acting flavor to it. I couldn't imagine a better cast to voice them, you were such a good fit for Loop, Will for Isa, and Lenti... Omg Lenti just hit different, perfect Sif. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, I will now be scouring the whole internet for the last crumbs of ISAT content ❤

[@panlambert1011]

Watching yall voice this live with the dev genuinely made my nights. SO HAPPY ITS HERE!

[@thewanderer5506]

HEY JELLO I AM EXPLODING THE EDITING YOU PUT INTO THIS AND THE ENDING MAKE ME WANT TO SCREAM UNTIL I CANT FEEL MY THROAT (on a less silly note, yall really killed the va performance and all the lil animated gags really add to the levity of the timeloop torment nexus)

[@henryattfield8979]

The old title was : This game is fine

[@MaximizedB]

32:00 Your Best Friend starts playing and Flowey appears

[@thefaceofchlo5390]

"Do you get it now? Do you understand why I killed them? I tried everything else first. Everything - every line of dialogue, every random chance Easter egg, every path you could possibly imagine, and then some. And I'm still here. What other option did I have? Nothing happens if I don't act on the world, and I don't know which is worse, the same things repeated ad nauseum or the vast nothingness. I really don't. Nothing means anything anymore, so why not do everything you possibly can? It won't matter anyway. Morals don't exist in a world that never changes."

[@EmperorSeth]

I was just thinking about how this game felt like a Flowey simulator. Which isn't quite fair, since Flowey (specifically Flowey, not Asriel) doesn't have a soul to affect their actions, but close enough!
