Let's Play Firmament - part 1 - A blank mind

[@Dilandau3000]

It's finally here! It took a bit longer than I intended, but I hope you'll enjoy this exploration into Cyan's newest game.

[@otterskyplays]

yay, new video from you 🤩🥰

[@AngelaDChildress]

Yessssssssss!

[@steven1701D]

YEAH! I hoped so much that you'll play it! I'm already through and I really liked it!

[@Jono98806]

Finally, I was wondering when you were going to do this.

[@christo-chaney]

I have this also on my Mac. Didn’t get far with it yet. Glad to hear from you again. Was wondering how you have been since last hearing from you. Be well Sven!

[@morinavampile]

You know its going to be a great day when Dilandau posts! Welcome back! Looking forward to another great let's play!

[@Anolaana]

Looking forward to seeing it continue... in the next video. :)

[@Jellepepe]

Crazy to think I used to watch your videos 14 years ago and now as an adult I still get to enjoy new let's plays :)

[@kapioleilanionalanielua]

I still go back and watch all the time!

[@TempuraFriedJoystick]

Hearing Sven's voice feels like home. It reminds me of good old days, when things were simpler and I was happy. And for a moment, I'm a kid again.

[@vektheartist]

Likewise 😆

[@mackenzielauchlan7860]

Hi Sven. Thank you for the many years of great content. I've gone through your Lets Plays many times over the years and often they kept me company in sad times. I'm so happy that this one is out and I'm looking so forward to going through it. I was about to start the Police Quest series again tonight for the 400 billionth time. Wish words could convey better how much this channel means to me.

[@matthewwilliams3827]

The amount of details to peruse in just the starting room alone is amazing! Makes one realise how much work goes into these games.

[@nickmosca1718]

“Thank God you’ve returned…” Yes!!! Thank you; your walkthroughs are incomparable

[@RomanQrr]

Glad you are still okay in the chaotic world of ours.

[@c.argelfraster1291]

A new Sven LP? Christmas came early! 🎉 Great to hear your voice, hope all is well with you and yours!

[@vektheartist]

Very early!😆

[@MrFaulty105]

The legend from the Guild of Let's Players has returned... Very much been looking forward to this one! Thank you sir for your Art.

[@TheSkullPanda]

I've been playing Cyan games since 94, and watching you play for at least 10 years. It's really grown with me. I want to save some of the game to surprise myself and my partner with, but thank you for sharing this experience with so many of us. From the bottom of my heart, from Rime to Riven to Releeshahn... thank you Sven!

[@mrsmw2020]

As a long time fan of yours, glad to see you back. This looks a great game.

[@Snowmation]

I saw a few people post Long Plays and Let's Plays of Firmament but I held out and tried to remain patient as I knew it was only a matter of time 'til you started your Let's Play! Happy I waited...welcome back!

[@BigGator5]

Hey Sven! Good to see you! I could count on one hand (not literally) the amount of old-school Let's Players left. Most have gone to streaming or post three hour videos.

[@Supertriggerfinger45]

I’ve watched all your lets plays over the years after I played the game first. You’re the master at uncovering everything about the game that so many players overlook. I’m sure I will enjoy this as much as all the rest.

[@krabmane1304]

Feels like yesterday I was watching your Myst 3 series. Super cool to see you're still uploading

[@guilenator]

I used to watch you for years to help me fall asleep at night and catch some adventure games I never got through. You are a treasure and I'm glad you keep coming back. Just went through a lot in life and it's comforting to hear a familiar voice from a time when I was more at ease. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@christopherzastawny7498]

Welcome back sven 😊

[@vertron]

Glad you are back. I still watch your old videos now and then whenever I want to re-watch an old classic game.

[@fufi96]

Finally!! I waited to see your walkthrough of this game. You do these way better than the rest. 😊 but i had to play as soon as it came out. I might just watch for the hell of it. Love listening to you. Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

[@scottmacfeat2568]

Can't wait! Love your "no stone is left unturned" approach to your Let's Plays 👍 Curious to see if I missed anything on my playthrough

[@TheStarbane]

"....and when they've need him the most, he returned" :)

[@ConsciousCloud]

Hey Sven! It's such an awesome surprise seeing a new upload from you after all this time. I've been watching since the Myst: Riven days way back when and always love your play style cos you play similarly to me, inspecting every little detail lol. This one looks so interesting and I'm getting first-time Myst nostalgia all over again. The graphics alone are also very nice.

[@elenaG1208]

just realised it's been 2 years since you did MYST VR. good to see a new Cyan let's play and good to see you back :)

[@andy-nicholson]

This is such a delight to have you back! Thank you for finding time to record this.

[@misterkefir]

always a huge pleasure to get an unexpected video release from You in my subscriber inbox ;) Cheers, man.

[@runswithsoda]

I'm going to enjoy this! Love your LPs and your attention to detail.

[@Korygg]

Sven! I'm glad to see another one of your series, I hope life is treating you well!

[@benmech]

Welcome back Sven. Been waiting for this. I have a theory about the big gimmick this time, but I'll write it when the game play needs it to be spoiled.

[@derekkozel]

Shorah! Welcome back to you too. You've been missed. Thank you for all your time and effort in taking us on another journey.

[@julianhartl9062]

By the maker you‘ve returned! Atrus, Atrus come quick!

[@cowtune]

"Welcome back". Over the years, I've appreciated your explorations into Cyan's worlds (& feel compelled to mention TLJ/Dreamfall-related games). It helps that you include all details - an immersive experience (w/ all options, dialogues, and yes, the readings). I've purchased Cyan games since they released it for Windows 3.1 or 95 (ya, I'm old, lol) and have backed their other games. However, I relive the adventures through your videos (is very calming ... need to get back to doing that). When my mind is quiet -- these experiences (surprisingly) come to the fore. Thanks for continuing to produce them.

[@aaronplude2230]

No worries on taking too long! Like you did with Obduction, I wanted that "Myst-like feeling" of knowing nothing when I first played this, and now that I have finished, I get to enjoy your return and your insight!

[@ferdel4nce]

Welcome back, Sven! As always, it is great to see you play again!

[@SethACampbellMusic]

SOOOOOO happy to see you back, Sven!!! Thank you for taking us on another journey!!

[@lsmit229]

Did a double take when I saw a recent upload! “Welcome back”

[@Wattsini91]

Oooooooh can't wait to watch you play this. Hopefully the gameplay aspect gets more interesting. But visually, omg I bet it looks stunning in VR

[@tompinks_]

Always great to get a new LP series from you, even more if it's of a Cyan game. Welcome back!

[@jonaslatza]

Oh, what a wonderful surprise. Thank you for the new upload. I haven't seen much of the video, but every time I watched something made by you it brought me so much joy. I can be certain to be here for a good time. I wish you the very best for your upcoming days and hope they are filled with as much joy as you bring to us on your channel. Keep being awesome, and thank you.

[@lilrebbitzen7758]

I'm so happy to see another LP from you, sir! Been rewatching old videos and missed you. Hope you and yours are doing well! Great video, as always :)

[@generrosity]

So good to hear your voice - looking forward to the high quality you like to share with us 👌💚

[@dlichtenberg]

Always good to watch a let’s play from you sir

[@sieciechczajka6554]

Thanks for creating these!

[@sethkinle2254]

It made me so happy to see you drop a new let's play. It's been a while. You have been missed

[@jonnyfavors7585]

I literally creamed my jeans when i saw a notification drop on your channel. FINALLY!!! NEW VIDS!!

[@brittislove]

oh WHAT???? A new Dilandau video??? Bro.. you have no idea how much I listen to your videos. My work day isn't complete without you taking me on an adventure

[@timo4331]

Your videos are great and you always point out things I miss. For example, I played this through completely three times but never noticed the sleeping pod had been moved from the swan. It is so obvious now. :)

[@TheSuperZorro]

Zo cool dat je na al die jaren nog steeds Let's Plays maakt! De vorigen heb ik met veel plezier gekeken en ik kijk met smart uit naar de volgende aflevering van deze. Bedankt!

[@WarthogDemon]

At least she immediately told us that she WILL lie to us. That's more honest than many vague people are with us in these games.

[@zp2814]

I love your let's plays of anything Cyan. Love how thorough you get into the story and detail.

[@Alex_Ander946]

oh my god a new sven lp! i watch and rewatch your lets plays of all of the sierra games like tv man and I'm so glad you're still here making content

[@ShadowzGSD]

fantastic, been looking forward to this. i have mostly resisted all other playthroughs and only having the odd peek because i know this will be the ultimate.

[@Doc4]

Welcome back! 😊 Good to see you as always, Sven.

[@Flackon]

When the character showed up I was like: Is that supposed to be a real person? Or is the character some macabre puppet? Amazed at the quality of those character models...

[@mind_combatant]

"you... are a keeper" "d'aww, thank you, mysterious ghost lady who i don't know due to my generalized amnesia! you're probably pretty great too!"

[@VintageSnyder]

My god it is good to see you on here again! I saw your post on twitter and i was excited to see what you're playing.

[@alexisdeacon8727]

Welcome back! It’s always a special day when a new Sven Let’s Play appears.

[@NuggetRetired]

I'm so glad you're back with more lets plays.. Excited I have something to watch tonight!

[@polygon586]

Welcome back, Sven! Always excited for a new Let's Play from you. I'd just wrapped up rewatching Sins of the Fathers, solves the problem of what to watch next :)

[@aserta]

I plan to run this game in 3 years, as per my self imposed rule with new releases, so i'll only watch the first part, but i'm happy to see it came out, happy to see Dilandau out of hibernation for a letsplay i'm sure to reference at some point. :)

[@LeftMouseButton961]

I just rewatched your obduction let's play a few days ago!!! As always "welcome back"🎉 ❤

[@PikaLink91]

Always good to see you back with another LP my man 🙂

[@Pootmaster1]

I was waiting for this! Looking forward to another one of your amazing LP's!

[@markroelands]

You have been missed, looking forward to this!

[@fearofshorts]

You're back! Yay! Thanks for the content!

[@NikaNakaidze]

Hi sven i am so happy to see ur lets play i was watching some persons gameplay of this game now ill abandon it and will watch ur lets play

[@StrimClocks]

”Let's not fall that would be bad.” Only hard truths here.

[@Mewzard]

Man, I did not expect to see this pop up on my feed today. Glad to see you back Sven!

[@micahbush5397]

To be fair, even modern surgeons still use leeches. They're a useful tool for plastic and reconstructive surgeons because they consume built-up blood and release an anticoagulant in their saliva, allowing fresh blood into recovering tissues that could turn necrotic without proper blood flow. Also, if these icy mountains are warm by the player's standards, I would guess that this "Theshold" we emerged from was some sort of cryogenic suspension.

[@adamsteele6148]

YES. HE'S BACK. THANK YOU!!!

[@zakdances]

Thrilled to see you back Sven. I thought Microsoft was working you too hard there for a while, glad to see you emerge Lazarus-like once more!

[@inkiwell]

So glad you back with your walkthroughs!

[@gypsearose1507]

My dear come down to Multnomah falls when we have had a bunch of snow here in Portland. The falls freeze like that it's GORGEOUS!!

[@faith9338]

Welcome back!! Happy to hear your commentary again~!!

[@JavusMM]

Very happy to see you back!

[@cecasander]

Yay, a new let's play series! I totally here for this.

[@Laggzor]

oh im really hyped for this :D love your stuff

[@86harleys]

Man I've been waiting for you to be back with the Cyan games. Love them!

[@JoshuaKennedy321]

Ah, it's good to hear your voice again.

[@danrichards2250]

That pouch on the table looks like an urosotmy bag. Interesting if true. I’m excited for this let’s play!

[@therabidscorpion]

He's back!! Looking forward to this!

[@Artemicion321]

Good to see you back! I've been going through your Gabriel Knight series and enjoying it quite a bit, it's good to see you active again.

[@ivanhoe1024]

Excited for this new let’s play! I already played the game myself but I enjoy your Let’s Play so much that I can’t wait to watch this as well!

[@SongoftheLute]

I've really myst watching you! Ha ha. I only found out this game existed today. So glad to join you again for another adventure!

[@FuddBusters]

The return of the king

[@xiamansays6347]

So glad to see a new video. Hope you've been well.

[@gregkent8955]

I've been hoping you would do this. I too was a backer of this even thought I knew I would not be able to play it on my 2015 iMac. I bought the 2015 iMac just so I cold play Obduction. Watched other 'Let's plays' of Firmament. I'm sure I will like your through dissection of this game. Yes, Cyan does it best. Had Myst when it first came out. I'm now 73. Just a few minutes into it, I know it will be good. Thank you

[@roguequill]

I'm a little late to the show, but looking forward to following along!

[@PregnantOrc]

Looking forward to seeing your thoughts and exploration of this game. I was disappointed with parts of it, mainly how the adjunct/socket system felt super limiting to the puzzle design but several locations made me wish I had the chance to see it in VR. I'm certain 'll see some things I missed along the way and I hope to see some other points of view on at least some of my less enjoyed aspects as we go through the realms, both from you and others in the comments.

[@TheAtroxious]

Oh man, I was thinking about you a couple of weeks ago. Been wondering if you'd be making a reappearance. Glad to see you post again! I missed your uploads.

[@PDTopGun]

Love your videos! I was mixed on Firmament as a whole, but I'm looking forward to hearing your insights on it. One little note early on: if you look up above the removed section of railing on the first staircase, you can see that the Mentor rigged up a sort of winch system to safely lower your sleeping pod. Fortunately she didn't just heave you over the edge. 😄

[@sursnaps]

Good to have you back Sven!

[@Mirality]

Oh hey, i missed this LP when it came out. Good time to catch up on it while waiting for more Riven videos. I did play this when it first came out, but i had the bug where the mentor never said anything, so it'll be interesting to see a slightly more intended playthrough.

[@myrrysmiasi4866]

So glad to hear you again Sven!

[@pipperrytook2314]

I'M SO EXCITED!!!! 😍💖💖💖

[@TwinNova]

So glad you are back

[@cubicinfinity2]

Vague spoiler: Bringing attention to a detail but misinterpreting it is clever.

[@heathersantiago7217]

Welcome back!! We missed you!

[@NikaNakaidze]

Now sven ill lay on my sofa and will watch u through my ip tv

[@misterglivesina3204]

What a good day it is, can't get better

[@carlushka]

Glad to see you back!
