When I used to play this game as a kid, it was always at a hospital cause my brother would get sick often. With that being said I guess every time I would play this game, it was when me and my mom would visit my brother and that was kinda how we spend our family time, so I never got the feeling of being “alone in the game”. But seeing game play now, I can understand why some people might of felt scared playing this game if they were all alone

Now I don’t remember if it was the whole hospital or if it was just the floor we were on but I do remember that the place my brother was at was specifically made for kids like him, kids that had a lot of medical conditions and that they would spend most of their life’s in those hospitals rooms.

Combined with the strange theme of the level itself (a city that looks more like a giant model, that you flood... what?) it again stands out as being pretty weird.

Although that got aimed for controversy, the soundfont for that music happened to just be part of some stock soundbites they had for use until they changed it. It's possible the same thing happened with this skybox, they just used it cause it fit somehow.

Great video! Your channel is bound to get some more views soon after these last few videos! I personally have my own read on the WDW town, if I remember correctly, the prism that shifts the water level is around, if not right beside the town church, implying that whoever that ran it was the one who had access to the water levels. That, in my personal opinion, is a tad bit more chilling, where one person held this community in a glorified hostage situation, before something went wrong, and someone triggered the water level shift, either by complete accident, or a grave, grave mistake.

with the release of b3313 and the level "Dry Town" we get a very interesting take on what happened, the level takes place in the large castle structure at the highest point of the skybox while this ancient city was in its prime the residents warn you that if you see any of the water crystals to not touch them as it could flood the town the sunset coating the level in an orange haze but when you jump in a pipe you are ejected at the highest point of the structure and land directly on one of the crystals the water rising engulfing the streets you were just running around in, this sunset was the last this city would see

I feel like I can say something of a mutated version of this theory. There'd be at least 3 planes of existence: The Town, The City, and an unknown outside plane. The City is to be populated by giants. The giants can take control of the water level. One giant decides to be king of the small town. It went good, until the town has taken more and more control. The agriculture of the town suggests that the town did took control of nature. And with this, perhaps the town grasped a crystal. And thus, the giant is mad, and flooded the town. Hence why there is a crystal at the bottom and the top of town. But it seemed as said giants are also taking control of whatever the outside plane puts down on their world. Controlling electricity to automate construction and building out of the earthen materials. It might be a matter of time that the giants will suffer the same fate for the same reason as the town.

Just a pointer: "Nephilim" translating as "Giants" is a retcon/cover-up so old that it was only relatively recently that achaeologists managed to recover texts old enough to reveal it. TREY the Explainer has a great video on it but the gist is that it's how the ancient Hebrews worked figures like Hercules into their theology back when they were monolatric instead of monotheistic. (i.e. "All gods exist, but we only worship this one") TREY also has similarly excellent videos on Leviathan and Lilith.

y'know, a cool mechanic games could include would be a "permanent seed" of sorts. the moment you boot up the game for the first time it generates a seed that never changes. from that point on, the game uses that unchanging seed to change small details in the game here and there to make it unique from everyone else's copy, but not necessarily "personalized". A few different notes in a song here, a few props scooched a couple inches there, etc. Small details overall but noticeable if you're actively looking for them and comparing them to other player's games.

The story even pushes the feeling of being alone but in reality theres others out there beyond the barriers of reality. Metroid gave the feeling of being alone and in xenoblade 1 that certain area in the game was the first time i felt the feeling of loneliness and also the feeling that there were people but not anymore. Its a feeling that still impacts me today and i love when games give you feelings you understand but at the same time not.

I think the name says everything Nintendo wanted to say. truth is Nintendo had a lot of stock assets all related to mid east to give their games a mystical approach outside of anything remotely japanese. of course Nintendo was already pretty global back then, but made their games focused on japanese audiences with a basic understanding of what other cultures could see and released them, Hence the Ocarina of time assets causing some fuss back then to the point nintendo had to release future revisions with some asset modifications. To me, This was another case of nintendo using such assets. The name says everything... atleast in the GOOD localizations. The intention was "this is the sunken ruins level" Pretty much like the EGYPTIAN level in Mario land, doesn't necessarily happen in real life Egypt, they just wanted to make a level with an egyptian style. And this one. was A sunken city level. I mean, you can look into it further. But nintendo didn't make this game like... IDK earthbound creator would, i would try to look further if this was an Earthbound setting, since it's writer had a lot of nuanced themes going beyond the most kid friendly elements, Even before you encounter GIygas. but Mario? Nah. Mario was since it go it's own series intended to be Nintendo's Mickey. Nintendo using assets related to mid eastern folk is a pretty interesting topic if you want to see into that further too
