Jesse and Dodger Play: The Past Within | BUTTERFLY

[@reloki8459]

These Rusty Lake games are so gosh darn weird and SO good. I love watching Jesse and Dodger play them so this was extra super cool to watch them play together. The devs watching in their chat was cool to see too.

[@argentoAFK47]

I like how the game gets them so hooked that they go "does it do anything for you when I press this?" when there's no online game session being shared, all progression is based on triggers from codes/instructions your coop partner feeds you. The game does a good job early on of establishing the idea the other person is on the other side in the past/present doing things that affect you.

[@BlinkyDrakkin]

Agreed! I played this with a friend, and we counted down to press the arrow at the same time for 10 seconds, and it wasn't until afterwards that I stopped and went, "Wait... we're not connected online... It literally doesn't know if we actually did that." That didn't stop us from forgetting that and syncing up the cube click at the end, though. XD

[@MissRandomNomad0o]

@@BlinkyDrakkin Literally you could speed run the entire game by memorizing all of the codes, but that isn't, y'know, fun.

[@shelbybabcock8779]

@@MissRandomNomad0o There’s already a guide on Steam, I think, so you can play one side solo. But I think they only have it for one past/future bee/butterfly combo.

[@shelbybabcock8779]

I watched two other streamers play it and they were amazed by the lack of lag 😂. Part of me wanted to scream “you’re not actually connected” and the other part was all “it’s so cool how they forgot they aren’t connected.”

[@MissRandomNomad0o]

@@shelbybabcock8779 Found a guide for all past/future/bee/butterfly combinations on Reddit.

[@zeroxavion]

I love how they kept thinking they influenced each others games without having an actual connection between their games 😂

[@JazzyWaffles]

I know right??? It straight-up tells them the games aren't connected at the start, but the presentation is so good that when anything happens, they assume the other person must've done something.

[@joelbrich2538]

Wait, but you need to cooperate to complete it, so doesn't that mean that they effectively do affect eachothers games?

[@quarteratom]

Actually the game secretly connects to the internet in the background, the server figures out the pairings based on the timing of the interactive puzzles, and messes with the players in real time.

[@Deode-d4h]

"I made coffee from the dust of a computer." This is the quintessential example of a sentence that can really only come from a Rusty Lake game.

[@JordanBl]

I love that Dodger was big brain enough that when Jesse described the doors she didn't have to stop and confirm his view was mirrored, she just got it and did the thing.

[@TheLeftWolf]

I watched her crush undertale genocide run awhile ago and never doubted her skills since!

[@tatsurose]

I just saw Dodger's VOD of this but man it's so much cooler to see both of your screens thank you for doing that :)

[@HartSickle]

With the editing on your video for the demo, I felt like I was missing a bit as they wouldn't always cut back to show us what was going on. On this full video, I feel like I am seeing everything! Phenominal editing. Managed to get both sides of the puzzle fully portrayed! Props.

[@level1blackmage]

I truly hope you two play through the Bee mode. I have no friends to play this with, so I'd love to see you two play the "Bee" side of this lovely game!

[@Talon3000]

It would be nice to see more coxbonus, but the bee mode basically just changes up some of the patterns in the puzzles. What I would like is them trading places in past/future.

[@shelbybabcock8779]

I played Past/Butterfly myself. Hoping I can play Future/Bee next time I find a person to play with. It was fun because there was just suddenly a butterfly fluttering around on my screen in the second half and I think I actually went “Ack! A butterfly! Wait! Come back!” Almost as funny as when the corrupted soul climbed the stovepipe and I tried describing it to the other person as “he’s climbing it like a monkey”.

[@AnnekeOosterink]

Bee and butterfly doesn't actually change the game itself, it changes codes (like the XYZ123 codes) so that you can replay, but switch past and future, so even if you have a great memory and can remember all codes, you can play again.

[@NightRainPanda]

As far as I know the only difference the modes make are: -Puzzle solutions -The creature flying around the room -the color of the tree (white vs pink)

[@korg47237]

I like that they forgot they weren't connected over internet an hour in, thinking they were affecting each others games

[@quarteratom]

Actually the game secretly connects to the internet in the background, the server figures out the pairings based on the timing of the interactive puzzles, and messes with the players in real time.

[@GmodPlusWoW]

Y'know, this is kinda like Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes, except no-one actually explodes. So I guess it's more like "Keep Talking And We Make Some Memories". With the Butterfly path completed, I guess we now await the Bee path. Which'll probably drop on us after another instalment of Dad of Boy: Rockin' Rags. Either way, it's so nice to see Jesse and Dodger playing again.

[@TheRealPentigan]

The Future machine did explode though, so at least one explosion went off this episode.

[@AnnekeOosterink]

Bee is the same game, it's just different codes and stuff, so you can replay but switch past and future players. That way, even if you remember every code, you can play the game again.

[@Spychic]

Yay I’ve been waiting for this vod! Love Rusty Lake but I have no friends into it to play this with me. I’ll happily enjoy the experience through Shercox and Dodgson 😆

[@r.m.miller]

Same! I didn't know they would be playing it but I got so happy that they did

[@ozfroggirl9221]

I didn't have anyone to play with either so I played alongside this video. All you need to do is choose one side and listen for the solutions along the way.

[@k.yleenicole]

I just played by myself on my phone and computer, might not be as fun but its still fun!

[@NightRainPanda]

I went to the Discord and found a stranger to play with!

[@JRTJunk]

Jesse and Dodger and Rusty Lake weirdness. Aw hell yeah.

[@ivannovalery6504]

This one feels like it was made for the both of you.

[@thatlycantomboy]

i already watched dodgson’s perspective but boy oh boy I need to see shercox’s OH. it’s edited with both perspectives. …yeah, still, I’m watching again a thing I love about them is how detailed they can get with descriptions. also just Dodger describing things for Jesse’s benefit: “okay, he is now the shadow man. he-he’s gooping out of the coffin. _he is crawling across the floor.”_ and “the shadow man is in goop, floating, awaiting resurrection, i assume. i see myself, I’m old. i am… over this shit” are some of my favorites

[@lajlasa]

Played butterfly mode too my first playthrough, and boy was it a joy watching Jesse and dodger play it. Iconic duo

[@gornser]

Just found this again and will have great a time rewatching it

[@mokajones74]

It's sick how the game paces individual puzzles into the mix so they can both just take a second to figure out their own seemingly optional puzzles, only to find it was intentional progression.

[@IceCrystalWolf]

Always happy to see Dodger and Jesse play together :)

[@gornser]

Immersion got so deep that they both forgot at one point that their games are not actually connected LOL

[@raoufjigsaw]

These co-op games with Jesse and Dodger are always fun to watch. I look forward to the next one.

[@hologrms]

"Get a job" lmaoo dodgers response to creepy shadow man

[@oldsargasso]

not as unsettling as some of the Rusty Lake games but I still regret starting this around midnight lol. loved how you two worked together! and the editing was next level, really appreciate the effort that went into it!

[@shelbybabcock8779]

I think having a connection to another person does help a bit with the creep factor. It’s hard to be freaked out when you’ve got the other person saying things like “he’s climbing the pipe like a monkey” or “alright. Yep. Just chopped his ear clean off. Really should’ve seen that coming.”

[@phoenixwhittaker]

I love how Jesse and Dodger always over-complicate everything when playing puzzle games together, like the 3x3 grid instead of just saying numbers 1-9 they do positions and then dodger goes from left, middle to middle left in how she tells it, confusing Jesse, also Jesse always wondering if when reading 1-5 she really means that 2 is 1. I would just assume that my partner will always read top to bottom, left to right, so in the slider puzzle for example it's not 1st row, second from the bottom, middle row, etc. it's simply 4,2,1 or some such. Still love these goobers though and hope they did go for the bee playthrough on opposite time frames while trying to get all of the achievements, the extra bit of crazy for going all the way on Rusty Lake games is always a joy.

[@MaisieSqueak]

Lovely to see you both doing these games again! We can never return to the past, or the way things were, but its wonderful to reconnect with it once in a while.

[@picaludica]

Oooooh, and just when I'm on a Rusty Lake binge, watching all the videos both of you posted! Thank you for this treat 🥰

[@Theorak]

This is quality, the purest puzzlement of faces and puzzles.

[@leahpratt6990]

It's a very macabre Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes

[@aznagent]

If you guys haven't already, watch the 20~ish minutes of Dodger/Jesse just shooting the shit at the end of her stream. Its uploaded to Doog's KZbin

[@quarteratom]

It's weird that in their entire life they never saw a keypad (on a phone or on a keyboard) and never saw a clock with a clockface. Do they even know of these things called numbers? They are an excellent technology to communicate a sequence of things, the position of things on a scale, or you know, a number of things.

[@KepsExperience]

These games are so well made! The visual style is captivating

[@jonsnow5129]
