DO YOU THINK A GRANDFATHER CLOCK RUNS OFF OF TWO FUCKING DOUBLE A BATTERIES?! 😂

The dial spun into the red so fast it cracked the glass and then went straight back to green in an instant, lol.

Jesse meekly going, "No, that clock right there!" made me laugh way too hard 😂

Well if it's a good grandfather clock, idk

[@guardianbear6635]

18:47 Had to go looking for it, pure gold

[@kisoedi]

Hameln is where the story of the Pied Piper is from. He got rid of the rats in the town, but when they didn't honor the deal for his payment he stole their kids 👀

[@StarrChild.]

Oh that's really interesting! So perhaps Sam made a deal with them to get the cartoon show going but when he felt uneasy with what was happening to Rebecca, he ended the deal and in revenge they took his daughter away to "rot"

[@kisoedi]

@@StarrChild. or maybe they did something to Rebecca to get her inside the show and got rid of Sam and as revenge she's stealing kids, because she was stolen herself??? The plot is so confusing, but it's intriguing!

[@Rytonic69]

And then Laura goes missing while watching the cartoon. Interesting...

[@jaimie1938]

Was looking for this comment! All the references to the Pied Piper, the fey, and demons are so fascinating

I hope SGS goes on forever, i love these boys

[@Menuki]

Minus 1, such a shocking development

[@ToonMasta44]

I somehow thought they had already played this because I watched so many other people play it, but it's exactly the kind of game that is built for their theorizing!

[@natanaru]

I think they did a live show with it?

[@dinolandra]

they mentioned having played the demo

[@rjc523]

truuue i thought so too lol.

[@omegalazerbilly9653]

Absolutely love scary game squad and I'm so glad we've been getting so much of it lately. Thanks for the laughs, they've gotten me through some hard times before. Looking forward to this 2 and a half hour experience 😁

Man, I kinda just KNEW Alex would pick up on the deemon names in the purple tape. Easy thing to miss if you aren't really engrossed into that sort of thing.

[@nateev14]

i picked up Bael and Paimon but not Balamb cuz i've never heard of it

[@timothyspool1399]

*engrossed in

[@acousticnoisemachine]

I could instantly tell when he read the sheet notation that Alex is/was a bass instrument player. In the bass clef, his first read of the notes was spot on.

[@DeltaEntropy]

He fooled me for a moment before I looked at it again with his confidence

[@ironoverloadedttv]

Davis taking the time to stop throughout the credits on each set of names was just chefs kiss. Seen a lot of streamers saying they like this game and then immediately quick scrolling through the credits. I appreciate the effort to make sure they were readable.

[@rachaelversaw]

Scariest part of this is Alex's ability to read impossibly small text, I can barely read the title

[@tinybee7780]

The constant stink/side eyes that Amanda and Wooly give to each other during the short pauses is so amusing, like they're just so fed up with each other. I appreciate you guys in just using a guide at the end. Those puzzles involved in finding the tapes that you missed were so obscure. Still don't know what to make of that Herd of Mouth video, definitely weird. Rebecca unwittingly chanting those demon names was definitely creepy.

[@timthetatmantailor]

the "Herd of Mouth" video is just a joke from the devs with the phrase "heard of mouth" my assumption is that a dev posted something about how they "found" it in game files to spark everything and a side note, when you DO use the tape in the game, you can't end it. it's a softlock. sorta a joke to the devs to prevent people from looking in game files to solve the puzzles and ruin the fun.

[@rjc523]

@@timthetatmantailor really? pretty finny, remind me of some old games doing troll shit if you pirated them lol.

[@Pretsal2]

@@timthetatmantailor Just in case anyone goes looking for info based on this - a quick correction that the term is Word of Mouth.

The best one is when Amanda clearly breaks Woolys leg when he tries to warn the viewer and she stares at him angrily and then realizes that she is seen and clearly fakes "Oh, no! Wooly is hurt!"

[@GIChiyo]

I love that they took all that time to flip the paper around to read it lol The dev didn't need to put anything on the back but they did and that's awesome

[@rjc523]

i was surprise one of them did have something on back lol, very sneaky.

"Shia LeBeouf, Eagle Eye"

[@brianburkhardt3692]

Hanln is a reference to the Pied Piper. It’s the town he goes to. Its symbol is also a rat, what the Piper is hired to get rid of. And lastly, the Piper has his revenge by stealing the towns children. Much like how the show stole a kid away from her home.

[@dinolandra]

it seems like the company is stealing multiple children.

[@Invader_Rin13]

Speaking of games you only played the demo for a millennium ago. When are we getting that Killer Frequency full playthrough? Still hoping, still waiting.

[@Phreezer]

Turns out the Crown of Stag article is a reference to an indie game called Clan O'Conall and the Crown of the Stag. Also Skip and Chip are from the game Chip's Tips.

[@rjc523]

hmmmm why thou?

[@Phreezer]

@@rjc523 If I had to guess the developers might have liked those games and wanted to give them a little spotlight in their game.

[@impulsethoughts3683]

the stag crown is also a symbol commonly seen around pagan rituals. you see it often enough as a trope in demonic/pagan/satanic horror movies as part of the plot to give birth to a demon incarnate. the stag is "the horned god" (of fertility), i believe.

[@evilbob840]

@@impulsethoughts3683 I don't think I've seen stags in that context. Goats? yes, but not stags.

[@BingoClamshell]

The demon names thing is such a cool touch. I'm glad they did the secret tapes and looked into that

[@MtgVeteran]

watching u guys not understand planetary symbols fills me with delight that theres so much more chillumanti content left to uncover

[@LeoCurtis]

Holy shit, I have NEVER picked up on the demon names before! Bael (I assumed this was supposed to be Belial at first), Paimon and Balaam. That's WILD, man! Well done Alex.

[@dudemetslagroom8065]

"it's an escape room that never ends" that's called a prison XD

[@Dvalarogg]

In true SGS fashion, they get almost everything in the game, but missed out on the true ending that you get from saying yes to Amanda when she asks you to keep a secret AFTER you've gotten the secret tapes. 😆

[@sarahz8]

I kept wanting you to try KATE, when Amanda asked what the opposite of ALIVE meant. 😅

[@WierdArtistMarcell]

Sometimes, you keep the strangest of information locked in your subconscious. I remember Jesse's favourite pie being cherry due to an eposode of the Co-Optional Podcast, where Simon from the Yogscast said he could tell anyone's favourite pie, and said Jesse's was Keylime-merengue pie, and Jesse was like "look at me, Simon, look, and guess!" And after Simon answered, Jesse just shouted "CHERRY! IT'S CHERRY PIE!"

[@Adam-zc3of]

Please, please PLEASE play Still Wakes the Deep next. It's INCREDIBLE!

[@FidgetThePepperTheGhost]

I think Amanda's "I'm still out there... somewhere" wasn't supposed to be a threat. I think it meant that her (Rebecca's )physical body is still being kept somewhere while her mind/soul is trapped in the show. We also know that Rebecca was adopted by seemingly single father Sam and even though the live action TV show was a hit, it was still a very local thing. I think Rebecca was the true heir to that crown which is why Hameln was so eager to "make an adaptation". It wasn't about the show, it was about having access to Rebecca and her power. There's a seemingly random reference to the new flower shop owner in town in that coffee chat, I'd be willing to bet that the flower shop owner was one of that thieves gang/cult/Hameln member scoping them out.

[@legendaryseph9406]

I ascribe to the theory that Rebecca’s soul is in the show and wooly is there to keep here trapped and on track with what Hamlin wants, only after he was gone did she reveal that Hamlin killed her, it’s why during the rot one she said I feel like I’m rotting and why she said she was out there waiting, she was waiting for someone to go out and find her corpse. That’s also why we can do so many Easter eggs involving Rebecca’s life and why she talks/reacts in certain ways, she misses her adoptive dad which is why she says daddy that way in the farm vid and why using his name gets a colored tape), why she freaked out so much when you refused to help the lonely kitten (she’s the lonely kitten after Hamlin killed her dad and took her), why during the rot alt vid you can’t save the cat and why it says times up (no one saved her in time). Everything points to Amanda being trapped in there with wooly forcing her to do these things, it’s why she hates him so much.

[@ArtHeaux420]

this is such a good theory! I was wondering like halfway through the playthrough if they'd start playing against wooly. I'm so surprised Jesse didn't call him a red herring in classic Jesse fashion! but this theory would also help to answer the question about the weird interrogation room to sign the contract. And also maybe the article about the fae! Like maybe hamlin are the "fae" that kidnap and replace children. random sidenote, this theory is so haunting and sad and made me think of Ethel Cains album "preachers daughter"

[@DaemonMunkir]

HAHAHAAAAAAA! The insane snap about the grandfather clock instantly dropping to "oh my bad"

[@katej2284]

Definitely significant that the cast for the ATA shows lists Rebecca Colton as Amanda but there's no credit for anyone voicing Wooly, I've seen some theories say he might be Jordan, the kid that went missing

[@jordishepard8123]

Hey Jesse, would SGS consider playing "Still Wakes the Deep"? It's a really well-made horror game set on a UK-based oil rig in the North Sea. Very Lovecraftian, amazing voice acting and phenomenal storytelling.

Nah it's not Belial, it's Bael. Belial wouldn't make sense as she's trying to pronounce an "e" after "bye". bye = bae and yell = el.

[@ryanarcadia9652]

She really hit him with the 'Okay, Wooly.'

[@jimjam7928]

51:40 Alex is close, but he's reading the notes in the Bass Clef, not the Treble Clef which is the swirling symbol at the start of the music, which positions the notes one above what's on the Bass. So "A-C-E" etc. should be "F-A-C-A-D-E"

Wiki says SGS missed an ending, sort of. After getting the secret tapes, the ending "The End" (in which the sun rises) continues a bit longer, "a thump from behind shows a masked figure has entered the attic, ending the game on a cliffhanger. This ending is canon, leading to" the second game.
