"There's nothing scarier than an unfinished midwest basement." That is the gospel right there. Bonus spook if the stairs have that stupid gap to the underside between each step.

[@box_full_of_ink958]

eXCUSE ME. You just described my basement-

[@MrBiggyfoot69]

I was always scared of the basement just because of those stairs and the little back room. I didn't wanna look at those stairs and see someone under or just a flash of it. I didn't run, I was speed when it came to that basement.

[@paladinstorm]

I understand the concept, but I'll be honest, the basements I grew up with were fairly livable spaces with actual purpose beyond storage. Like the house I grew up in, the basement was where my parents had their accounting offices, and most of our computers and gaming systems (like Ataris) early on, so it was just another part of the house. Then again, we only had the basement, main level, and attic (this kind of house is known as a 'rancher', to my knowledge). The attic was probably the creepier place, but even then I know my siblings and I spent time up there, as well, with playsets and such having been leftover. Both grandparent houses had finished basements, as well, intended for somewhat regular use, especially with the pool tables both had (one of which had cover panels and a net to convert the table for ping-pong). I... guess I can only comprehend this particular fear from cultural context. My fears have purely been about being alone and in the dark, not any particular parts of houses. I will note less-frequented areas have still elicited some trepidation in the past, such as my father's workshop in a disused corner of the basement, or the aforementioned attic... but I suspect that's ultimately because those places tend to be cloaked in darkness and rarely visited by the family, coming back to the being alone and in the dark points.

[@jordie2772]

Nah that space under the stairs was where my brother and I would go to just vibe. We would take turns on our mom’s iPad and eat cookies that were meant for a party. It was also the ultimate hiding spot during games because you could crawl under an old dog bed we had there. We sometimes still do, honestly.

[@kexard]

I worked a job at a small convenience store, and that’s exactly what the basement was like, and we used it as a storage room. I would dread having to grab cups from day-to-day.

[@28stabwounds92]

I recognize the recording at 19:08! It's from one of the very first talking baby dolls made by Edison! Its supposed to be a woman singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or saying a bedtime prayer, but the recording became so damaged over the years and recordings were so new in that time that the voice actress had to literally scream the song into a gramophone in order to be heard! Between that and the years and years of wear on the recording, it distorted into that awful demonic screaming sound. I think folks managed to restore the original recording and it can be heard somewhere online. That's really cool that they used such an obscure recording!

[@ellbell_88]

How interesting 😯

[@pigeonite]

That _is_ really cool! I looked it up and found all the recordings for the doll on the Wikipedia page. Someone who was alive 200 years ago screaming "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep; If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take." with extra audio distortion in this context is very spooky. Props to whoever made the game! edit: This was also the bedtime prayer my mother used to say when tucking me in, so maybe that's why this is spooky to me? Ahah.

A transcription of the end recording: What happens to a house when it is left alone? When it becomes worn and aged? When its paint peels, and its foundations begin to sink? When it goes for too long unlived in? What does it think of? Does it dream? How does it regard those creatures who built it? Brought it into existence only to abandon it when its usefulness no longer satisfies them? It may grow lonesome. It may stare for long hours into the darkness of its own empty halls and see shadows, and its heart may jump as it thinks “here, here is someone again, I’m not alone.” And each time it is wrong, and the hurt starts over. It may haunt itself- inventing ghosts to walk its floors, making friends with its shadow puppets, laughing and whispering to itself at the end of some quiet cul de sac. It may grow angry. Its basement may fill with acid like a churning stomach, and its gorge may rise as it asks itself through clenched teeth, *”what did I do wrong?”* It may grow bitter. It may grow hungry. So hungry and so bitter that it’s scruples dissolve and its doors unlock themselves. While a house may hunger, it cannot starve. And so in fever and anger and loneliness, it may simply lie in wait. Doors open. Shades drawn. Always empty. Hungry. [end transcription] The thought of houses as massive, living creatures is honestly terrifying. As if abandoned buildings or dark hallways weren’t unsettling enough....

Watching this playthrough after watching Jacob Geller’s video essay on haunted houses, really puts the game into perspective. After all, the house isn’t the villain, we are. We were the ones who abandoned it and now, we are the ones haunting it.

[@Marispider]

same. it's amazing - this game is horrifying, but i didn't at all feel any sort of aggression towards the house. i felt bad for it, and the terror turned that into desperate guilt. you know you did wrong, and all you can do is yell "I'M SORRY" and hope it forgives you, even though it's clear it's just getting angrier (i never knew how furious a glitch could sound, with the house yelling that it was _sentient_ and that houses should be given _sympathy sympathy sympathy)_ you're helpless inside this house, and yet you keep coming back, hoping for some kind of resolution, that something will be better. man i'm so glad geller sent me here lol

[@alecLogan]

Well. Based on the other half of the speech at the end, the house set itself up as a trap, so I wouldn’t go saying it’s wholly blameless. Not sure if we should figure we’re _the_ example it gave of someone it struck down, but sure, that’s definitely a way to parse it.

The feeling of being alone in a house at night, all the lights off, everyone asleep. The feeling of being unsafe in your own house. The need to run up the stairs because something might be behind you. The way you can navigate a familiar house even in the dark, just like eventually you can navigate the house in the game....until things start to move and change.

[@-chippedstars-2889]

I live in a fairly big house with lots of open planning, but it's old as hell and it often makes noise. I'm an insomniac, so I'm up most of the night, and while I know the house I always have this distinct terror when going up the huge stairs at night. The downstairs bathroom is right below it and there's a closet under the stairs themselves. I get so nervous entering that room, day or night. The house is so bright during the day when it's full of people... but at night when it's just me and my thoughts.. it feels *alive*.

As someone who's experienced homelessness, there's kind of an all new layer of horror to this for me...

Hey mark! Just to let you know that there is more than 1 ending. Actually there is 4 endings and you got the "stomach" ending. I wouldnt say this is the bad ending because all of the endings are bad. Also im pretty sure it was because you broke the plates 😂 if you dont touch the plates or that vhs player with the girl talking weird in the bedroom then you may get a different ending. Like so mark can see!

[@cloneboy42]

That's not entirely true. In all the endings, you are eaten by the house. The only difference between the four endings is that the surreal, hellish sequence right after the house bites down is different. Breaking the plates or playing the tape in the bedroom doesn't affect the endings. The speech given by the woman in the final tape recorder is the same every time. It's not worth it for Mark to play it again just for that.

[@bigstupidsoph]

maybe it was triggered by the bedroom recording tape (green bed) too?

[@JonMichaelBailey]

This isn’t quite true, as ANATOMY only really has one ending, it’s just that to get to it you’ll need to complete and restart the game a total of four times. Each return sees the tape having degraded further as it more fully realizes the terror that its visual error serves. You dig ever deeper into the chew of the tape.

fun fact: the reason quiet nothingness can be so unnerving is actually an instinctual thing we have from ye old caveman times. a very common aspect in the wild is for smaller animals to go quiet when they sense a large animal/predator or when they recognize a location as a risky/dangerous place. This also relates to the most common fear of the unknown or unexpected. This is the same reason why Babies go quiet when they see a cradle mobile start to turn in circles. it mimics the natural counterpart which is when Predatory birds circle their prey in the air. so if you ever find yourself in a usually busy part of the wild, but there seems to be a lacking of noise and woodland creatures, there is an incredibly high chance that there is danger in the area.

This game is great. It shows how much can be done in terms of horror with little graphics and lighting, but pure atmosphere. It plays with our expectations as gamers for something to happen, but nothing happens, which makes us dread the actual possible encounter even more. It makes us think: am I already being watched or chased without knowing it? It plays with our fear of the unknown and then it steers into psychological horror and shows us, that the danger has been here all along - the house. But we took it as an ally. This game is something different in a very good way.

This feels like walking through a dying mind, a deteriorating consciousness and world of memories. It's all familiar, but different. Dark. Things start to behave weird. Rules cease to exist. You're alone, hearing and seeing things that become more and more strange and impossible to understand. You start doing the same things over and over again to cling on to some sense of familiarity, but it's no use. Piece by piece, that familiarity is taken away. You're afraid. Not knowing your own world and what's inside it anymore. You grow strange to that world as it starts making less and less sense. But you are caught within it, will never wake up from this. It is your terminal stop and there's no way back. Your final destination. The worst kind of horror to me. The horror you can't run from. Facing the end of your own mind and watching it fall apart...helplessly. All you can do...is wait for the end. I really love this game.

As an Anatomy student who’s actually using analogies to a house to help me study, I feel like these observations that we personify houses are scarily accurate, especially the idea of the living room representing the heart. Recently, my sister had a medical emergency and my parents spent the weekend at the hospital with her. I stayed at home to take care of the dogs and keep things in good order, but it was surprisingly cold and lonely. I’ve been home alone before for days on end, but our living room was taped off for renovations, and it was surprisingly difficult to go about “business as usual” when both elements of the “heart” of our home (the physical living room and the people inside) were missing. Anyway. Just food for thought. It’s not as much of a reach as it looks on the surface.

[@littlekitsune1]

Lots of Asian culture involves respecting houses and other inanimate objects as something that are tied to humans and can end up growing a "soul" if enough time passes. There are stories of inanimate things turning into monsters if neglected, too. It's not such a farfetched idea if you really think about it, either. As you said, a lot of houses or things we spend a lot of time with tend to feel personified, even if we don't do it consciously.

as someone who has been in unfinished midwestern basements.... I also agree.... a lot of it comes from an irrational fear or feeling of being watched, which comes from poor lighting, exposed wiring and pipes hanging from the ceiling and the fact that most of them are used for storage... meaning lots of odd shadows in dark corners caused by the poor lighting. plus every horror movie ever that involves basements

[@temmiedestructo7309]

Minor spoilers ahead, but... This game feels so intelligently made. There's something about how the writing implies things, making you assume that the tapes are written by a person obsessed with analogies, and houses. The way that the "person" just states their observations makes you believe they're obsessed, since their thoughts that seem subjective analogies are not open to discussion, and you build this idea of this person. You believe that when the tapes talk briefly about people and houses being connected, that it's a person that's just obsessed with houses to the point of cherishing and personifying them. But upon looking back, the twist fits in so smoothly - this wasn't a person obsessed with this house analogy, it's a living house stating facts about its existence. The foreshadowing and everything is done so well, and a second viewing of this video just provides an entirely new and entirely valuable perspective, and I think that is one of the best things a twist can do.

I'd argue and say that unfinished basement with a massive hole in a wall to look into the inner Earth can easily be a fear for everyone who has seen it! I lived in a house like that! It was so creepy down there and I never understood why they couldn't finish the wall and fill up that hole! And I asked my mom about it, why it wasn't finished, and she said that it was probably so there could be access to plumbing and whatnot that's pass the hole. I don't know why any sane person would want to enter it at all! It was so creepy, a black void with crumpling rock or earth pillars randomly in sight cause of the light in the basement. For the sake of peoples' sanity, if a hole is needed to access some plumbing and whatever of the building, then they could at least made it a doorway! So it wasn't so creepy! Or better yet have a door and frame installed rather than a concrete hole in one of the walls.
