As a game dev, the buff imposter being able to break walls and doors basically everywhere, and even throwing player through multiple walls, and then the walls getting fixed again, is incredibly cool

In Buff Imposter there's a moment that literally feels like it's from a cartoon. Mark opens the door and gets spooked by a picture of the Imposter. He closes the door and walks away. He goes back and checks the room again, there's the picture still there. He closes it and walks away again. He checks on it one last time, and instead of a picture, it's actually the Imposter. Funniest shit I've ever seen.

[@MunchMeisterVT]

It reminds me a lot of Junji Ito and his manga, a medium that works when there is few if only one color, horror that works like pictures or panels that progress gradually, and the mysterious Lovecraftian cosmic horror and body horror elements that draws on a deeply unsettling terror rather than cheap jumpscares.

[@LivingUnicorgi]

I genuinely believe that Yames could be on his way to being a modern day Lovecraft. The eerie unsettling nature of his games evokes the same spine chilling horror I get when I read Lovecraft, and can't wait to see each new game released.

[@jackofsometrades9764]

Exactly

[@Rhamburgers_420]

I absolutely agree! His games really draw up the same feelings in me that Lovecraft’s does- both are genuinely unsettling and its hard to piece together what exactly is going to happen next, which is refreshing!

[@drakkonscythe]

Eldritch horror is where it's at

[@lowkey_Ioki]

Games require a visual aid, that visual aid completely removes any ability at imposing the cosmic horror and existential dread of lovecraft's best works. It's eerie and unsettling, but implying that that is the main draw of lovecraftian horror is, in my opinion, doing it a massive disservice. Many games have tried to replicate lovecraft, and while some come close, all fail to invoke the feelings of the original stories as vividly. Imagination is almost always going to beat out actual visuals. The medium of video games can entertain in a lot of ways, and has so many more options open to it than stories do, but I do not believe it can ever achieve what lovecraft's stories have. It simply isn't built for that.

[@LivingUnicorgi]

@@lowkey_Ioki I understand what you're saying, but with the way Yames frames his games, sometimes the absurdity of the visual aid for some people, such as myself, can create a spiralling madness as you try to find shape or form in the chaos.

Yames hits that lovecraft “vibe” shockingly well, in a way I’ve not seen anyone else try. Like, it’s not just eyes and tentacles, it’s that sickening feeling from the implications of what happens, definitely added to by the crunchy visual style, which hides all the details that would let us easily justify what in the fresh holy heck we just saw. Good stuff.

[@slanginnoodles9865]

[@grayskyee]

Yames Games scratch a very specific itch in my brain, they’re so unsettling and yet so goddamn intriguing

[@Ohmyadeline]

You have no idea what Lovecraft is.

[@thadavidrain]

@That One KZbinr Hence why I think GooTheMighty was right about Yames' style. One of the key aspects of Lovecraft's work is the fear of the unknown, of what you cannot see or comprehend. Your mind creates a different reality to make you understand what it is you're seeing or experiencing. I'm not an expert on Lovecraft's work but I've read a few tales and most describe situations where you don't know what's going on most of the time so your mind can wander and try to understand, and when you finally come to it, it's already too late and you're staring at a void. You can't turn away even if you're filled with horror and disgust. You're just drawn to it and you cannot escape.

Idk about Lovecraftian but it's cool for sure. It definitely doesn't fit the themes of cosmic horror though, which is the genre he grandfathered and what his writing was known for.

Only the real OGs knew about the Backrooms during 2019-2020

[@thatoneguydamonreid2510]

After seeing various of their games, Yames is possibly one of my favourite horror developers. They’ve nailed a type of horror I haven’t seen too many people pull off.

[@victorconway444]

Yeah it's almost nostalgic. Reminds me when I was a kid scrolling around obscure point-and-click Flash horror games online. Which makes it all the scarier.

[@bofadeez8480]

I think it has something to do with ambiguity of it all. Like, the way the unidentifiable noises work in tandem with the completely fucked visuals. You can never quite fully understand what's happening at any giving moment and it makes your brain run wild with terrifying ideas. Plus there's no obnoxious jumpscares to break the tension. It's definitely my favorite type of horror. The only kind that actually gets under my skin.

[@cats1970]

It made me pull up my feet and audibly go “DROP THAT FUCKER IN THE WELL DROP THE STATUE CUT THE ROPE BURN IT DOWN”

[@Pythraxx]

With both the writing, eerie music and just the monotone art style... I honestly cannot figure out what makes it so terrifying but his work is indeed something that instills fear.

[@quinn4076]

Yames’ games are SO good. I always go into it doubting how unsettling it could actually be, and then I am always pleasantly surprised by something I can’t imagine dreaming up. I think one of the best things in his games is his use of pixilated images that the brain can’t process and actually identify. It’s fantastic

[@Minumer]

This is why I have the opposite reaction tbh, hard to be scared of something you can't even really parse

[@Trickpants]

@@Minumer Can I ask what you think of Lovecraft's stories where the same thing could be said about the monsters he describe? Vague enough that you don't really understand them, but it being the point because they can't be processed by human minds - I'm only asking because I've seen this same split with his works and I'm curious to see if it translates between the two

[@myraclesname]

@@Trickpants I think cosmic horror is the most terrifying, since we're usually scared of things that we haven't discovered yet. That's why there are so many horror stories about the deep sea or space. So theoretically speaking, every human being is horrified by Lovecraftian horror to some extend. At least that's what I'm thinking. If not scared by an image or words, then perhaps by the idea - or if it happened in real life.

[@rockstarfoxy654]

@@Trickpants cosmic horror from the books is fine because you can visualise your own nightmare along the loosely described terms. However In the game you get a pre-imagined and pre-visualised thing that you as the player aren't imagining from descriptions.for me it wasn't scary because i was more confused about wtf I'm looking at. And had to pause several times to try and see properly. This was also emphasized for me when the screen was black and the descriptions rolled in about the gestation. But then had all of my interest dashed when I'm just looking at a shadowy mass of flesh with an umbilical cord sticking out.

[@zackaryhoekman2214]

i’m concerned because if mark was ever kidnapped his neighbors would just think he’s playing his scary games again

[@happydog8930]

Fun fact, the pentagram is a protection symbol in Wiccan culture :D

[@verushka_d]

Unless it's inverted.

[@extracrispycryptid6208]

@Dark Damara but isn't whether or not it'd inverted just based off perspective?

[@phamiru]

RIGHT???? I hate how it's always used as a negative thing XD

[@damianmroczny]

tea 🍵

[@maddieb.4282]

@@extracrispycryptid6208no, it depends on the alignment and intentions of the person who drew it. If I draw a pentagram in my notebook right side up, someone can’t just approach my desk from the other side and be like “a-HYUCK, your PENTAGRAM is BACKWARD!!! That means it’s CURSED!!”

[@wlt3585]

Yames creates a masterpiece of horror every single time. Majority of the time I don't even have struggle with Lovecraftian horror but every game developed so far has fascinated and horrified me

[@floofifox]

Can we just appreciate all the effort Lixian puts into these scary game intros? They’re so high quality and you can tell he put a lot of effort and love into them

I've enjoyed all the Yames games so far. He really encapsulates a mid to late 70s creepy horror for me. It gives me creepy nostalgic vibes and I love it. Looking forward to Discover Our Bodies!

[@officialslothmob]

I love the lovecraftian body horror style he has

[@liagamer4265]

Im reading this comment before the video and im going to assume "Looking forward to Discover Our Bodies!" is a reference to another game. If not then uh, Interesting comment

[@radbradboy2319]

his game sucked, he might have others that are good but this isnt one of them, boring, terrible to look at

[@Vee_Sheep]

Yames' games (heh) have an absolutely horrifying art style, and i love to see their work the single color + black with heavy dithering is cool, and especially in the Well game, it makes everything so much more ambiguous than it should be

[@okamimcegg]

I can imagine Mark asking Lixian to edit something and Lixian just goes "Okay, hold this for me, please" and hands the baby to Mark, and Mark actually holds the animated baby while Lixian's character does whatever it is that he's been asked to do.

[@yishaogu4936]

Lixian’s such a good dad, he put his baby to sleep before killing someone. So considerate:)

[@MossSolarisBright]
