Return to Sci-Fi Survival Horror - Let's Play SIGNALIS Blind Part 2

[@p5rawQ]

A tiny German guide Vögel : Birds Elster : Magpie Eule : Owl Falke : Hawk Adler : Eagle Kolibri : Hummingbird Storch : Stork

[@MusicScala]

And Aula=Assembly hall :) I guess people have to Google the German translation for any word that they don't know the meaning of in this game

[@p5rawQ]

@@MusicScala Wartungsklappe : maintenance hatch :D

[@p5rawQ]

@@MusicScala I absolutely love that they left all those German words in there! This way it is much more entertaining to see how all the streamers butcher those words :P

[@RothSchatten]

@@p5rawQ Oh, I thought it's "valve" (sounded similar to "klapan")

[@-splithappens-]

Also: Star = Starling

[@blake7802]

Haha the worry about the “turret” killing you was hilarious. It was quite the dangerous looking fan

[@JustJDx]

When even using a save station sounds unnerving 😭I want to say it reminds me of Silent Hill except its creepier. Loving the game's atmosphere! You can do it Wellens!

[@RothSchatten]

14:14 "Daughter" (~ "tohter" in sound), and the dots (aka Umlaut) over "o" mean plural form 25:15 Usually, it's "attack" next to a body and without gun raised 30:36 Quite similar to "overland", and sur_face is also close in structure 32:38 Scanner's name seems to be a combination of "ultrasound / Ultraschall" and "Auge" (eye)

[@JCDmu]

Just a piece of trivia connected to one of the terms used by the game: the word gestalt comes from the same root as the English word gestation. In my interpretation this should be "one who is born", signifying a traditional human being (in contrast to a machine-like replica unit).

[@Manakeksi]

7:10 Welonz:"But which term got prohibited?" *finds gun* Welonz:"Oh no." Camera:"YOU USED THE FORBIDDEN WORD. EXTRAWORK. EXTRAWORK."

[@SscripterR]

There are many references that can go over your head if you don't pay really close attention. The place you are now is called Sierpinski which named after the Polish mathematician Wacław Sierpiński. Sierpiński is known for something called "The Sierpinski triangle" which is an equilateral triangle, with smaller equilateral triangles recursively removed from its remaining area. You can see it as a logo in the documents you read (6:00 mark). The way you save the game is a huge Silent Hill 2 reference. In both games you interact with a red object and when you do interact with it the whole screen goes red with a very ominous sound. The first time I saw it I just couldn't help but smile ;d. Also your character starts the game in the bathroom and stares into the mirror which is a scene straight out of the beginning of Silent Hill 2. Take your time with this game. It is truly incredibile.

[@noteliassmith]

Maybe if Welonz plays through enough sci-fi horror games, we can finally see Alien Isolation...

[@qeridexis8604]

Horror will continue untill Alien Isolation won't appear

[@sonofhades57]

I was hoping that Disco Elysium would make a reappearance, personally.

[@skinprophecy]

@@sonofhades57 we can all keep hoping... unfortunately she said just recently on twitter that she has no plans to continue it atm

[@Hexemon]

23:05 The object near the beds(?) is most likely a bit-art interpretation of an oscillating pedestal fan. It resembles a wall fan seen earlier; both have a 'ribbon' streaming in the airflow. It is not a turret 😊

[@Northern_Sea]

Isn't it an urban myth in South Korea that a running fan in a closed room can suffocate people? Turret or not, "I don't wanna die!" is an appropriate reaction anyway😂

[@Hexemon]

@@Northern_Sea Well, you could be right. And in the context of this game, yes, be afraid !

[@spacemonkeyentertainment6413]

I am so happy this is continuing !

[@NoerLuin]

"Aula" translates to auditorium from german, in this context it probably means more something like an assembly hall.

[@Meta_Mage]

yep, when I went to school the assembly hall for speeches etc was the Aula.

[@-splithappens-]

Since there's already a comment translating most of the bird names, I'll just do the rest of the words then. Even if some of them are translated by the game, which I only noticed after I already translated them, so whatever :D Star = starling Aula = assembly hall / auditorium Mond = moon (nicely remembered from Wolfenstein btw!) Töchter = daughters Kraftstahl is not an existing word, but would translate to "power steel" Heimat = home / homeland Tresortechnik = safe technology / vault technology Klassenzimmer = classroom Himmel = sky (or heaven, but in this case probably the former) fünf = five Wartungsklappe = service hatch Arbeiterquartiere = workers' quarters Krankenflügel = hospital wing Wartungsebene = maintenance level Protektorquartiere = protector quarters Oberfläche = surface Fabrik = factory Personal = staff / personnel Führungskommando = operational command Minenzugang = mine access Damn it, now I've commited. See you next video. :D

[@naoxmon]

Yes! This game is sooo good, hope you "enjoy" it :D You probably already figured it out but to kick them once on the ground, you need to stop aiming, go to them and left click.

[@maizewhale4183]

I'm so happy you're playing this! This has easily become my favorite game of 2022 and I hope you'll enjoy it too.

[@o-mangaming5042]

15:00 They're not breaking immersion with that instruction manual. The E key they're referring to is on the machine, not your keyboard. And yes, I am writing this as I get to the part where you're discussing your feelings on key prompts in in-game documents, so I don't know if you're going to reach that part in this episode.

[@Welonz]

that specific one wasn't a good example but the previous ones directly mention the mouse, keyboard, etc

[@o-mangaming5042]

@@Welonz Definitely. That always does feel wrong. If I want a direct keybind legend, there's generally one in the options. I don't need a tutorial document in-game telling me my keys.

[@ahcangela8549]

@@o-mangaming5042 It's a nod to the fact that you're playing as an android, it's no mistake or lack of care. The implication is that the menus and controls you see in-game are part of the replika's operating system, so that's how manuals and such give instructions for them.

[@sunkeyavad6528]

Time to ponder what the Signal Is.

[@SocietyFilth]

I, love your voice for this. When you read stuff straight from the game it actually increases my immersion. You got a good readers voice.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

512 is related to computers. One full set of Ascii characters is 256 bytes, 512 is 2 Ascii characters. 1024 is the actual size of 1 kilobyte of data. Data sizes people would be more used to seeing nowadays, like 1 meg (short for megabyte), is exactly 1,048,476 bytes, and one gigabtye is 1,073,741,824 (yeah, I used a calculator to figure this stuff out, I don't walk around with it memorized).

[@thekidfromcanada]

I know it's late, but good job on the q&a video. You nailed it. Good idea for having the Lego build in the background, and solid Lego skills. :)

[@jeevesbond]

Thank you so much for continuing this, Welonz. I just love the vibe of this game

[@seojaepark]

Oh wow, at first I thought you had someone commission an art of yourself for the cover. Isa genuinely looked like your avatar. But yay happy to see you continue this. You got this, good luck!

[@monnishp]

Amazing edits for the recap portion of the video, Welonz! Thank you for that.

[@ThreeKes]

Glad you're continuing with Signalis! I played through it after your first look and really liked it. Hope you'll do, too. New vocab in Japanese 国防軍, nice! Thanks kanji; learning something even though I don't speak a word Chinese. There's a lot of references to other survival horror games in here and I love it. A lot of Silent Hill and Resident Evil stuff, which I'm sure the creators were heavily inspired by.

[@Mobius118F]

23:05 It took me way to long to realize that’s a fan.

[@NoerLuin]

That was great fun to watch! Looking forward to more.

[@MrJoserobo]

YES so happy to see you continue this game, love your analysis of the environment.

[@ponderstibbons8440]

Glad you found the time to continue this one, can't wait for more!

[@MajorCouchPotato]

Outside of inventory management, this game is very good, I'm looking forward to the playthrough. About finishers, in the pause menu there's a "manual" button, perhaps it's worth to look at that.

[@jallad2353]

Oh hell yeah, was waiting for this one to come back!

[@CaroleanMonarch]

Very happy to see you back on signalis. Really been looking forward to this. Hope you enjoy i as much as i did.

[@sunkeyavad6528]

7:10 I mean, if they're not allowed to use the term, how could they write it in a memo? Makes sense to me.

[@Northern_Sea]

I was hoping you'd continue this game. Sweet!

[@ariesdemiurge]

Pretty sure the rotating thing in the bunk room was just a rotating fan. The palette in the room kinda hid most of it, but you can tell it had the same ribbon thing as another fan seen in the First Look. So yeah, p-sure that won't be important later. And this is the part where someone tells me it's actually a Bucket-Tier catalyst for a whole alternate ending.

[@Braskus]

I'm so glad you've continued this first look. But your poor little melon shaped heart! Welonz no likey the jump scares.

[@teymourelattar3402]

I really liked the first look and only heard good things about SIGNALIS since. Very much looking forward to your playthrough !

[@gh0st6762]

Glad this continued 👏

[@sonofhades57]

All right, time to come back to Signalis! This is one I was hoping you'd be coming back to soon. ^_^

[@Nerd_Rage255]

KZbin algorithm help. Also really want to see this series continue.

[@jeevesbond]

17:55 주의 has multiple meanings, but I'm thinking in this context it's: 注意 - caution. My Korean dictionary translates it to exactly the same Hanja as the caution sign in the first part of this LP: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpXGiYWciLWah8k Which isn't surprising.

[@boreangutang4842]

Hoping this beomes a full series. Great content!

[@ratfuk9340]

I'm glad you decided to continue playing this awesome game. Also the lockpicking puzzle is the worst in the game. It's really hard to tell when all the pins are actually alingned bc of the low resolution art style. The other puzzles aren't nearly as bad

[@wolfywise]

This wasn't really an issue for me. Maybe some people are just bad with perspective?

[@noisecrime]

cool - just finished playing this myself. It was interesting and the atmosphere is amazing, still not entirely sure about certain gameplay mechanics or the story, but still worth playing for the experience.

[@purplepothos5794]

33:55 TIme to stop by LockPickingLawyer's channel.

[@revolverocelot6334]

Been waiting for this, very curious what happens next and when do we get info on what exactly is going on in the place. As others have explained all the german words already I will just drop a bit of random trivia, the pistol seems to be based on Czech CZ-75, a very solid firearm

[@antony96361]

Yesss I'm so interested in this one

[@craftworded]

Funfact the lockpicking puzzle is randomized

[@Chij13]

Well, here it is, another series I will be looking for, besides Dragon Age...🙂

[@hanleydaniel]

oh sweet, I played this one after I saw it on this channel and liked the aesthetic. then I saw it on some youtubers' GOTY lists (like Jacob Geller's), and I can see why -- even if I don't understand it all very confidently. maybe this playthrough will help fix that.

[@PadaV4]

spooky game

[@eddievanhouten]

I noticed that in the room/corridor with the injured woman there are two flags on the wall and they look like the flag of GDR (Eastgermany). There is also chinese and korean (probably from north korea) writings in the game so far. What implies that it’s some kind of communist organization (or Nation - capital N). Denk an die 6 (Remember the six) is typical GDR pedagogy. I wonder what happened to russia if my assumption is correct.

Masserwelone !

[@qeridexis8604]

One thibg that you need to know for the future - if you use the elevator, go up to floor 1 BEFORE descending to floor 3 and so on - Floor 1 is optional and have some small neat plot stuff that you might enjoy :)

[@naoxmon]

There's no need for this, you're trying to push her in a direction before she even has a chance to choose herself.

[@qeridexis8604]

@@naoxmon fair, but I didn't said anything major, like saying "OH NO WELONZ, YOU KILLED MAJOR COOKIES NOW WE WON'T GET THE GOOD ENDING BECAUSE HE WON'T SAVE YOU FROM ADMIRAL BANANA'S SUPLEX THROW" but a small part of a lore that is easily missable and doesn't mean much. I don't think I overstepped any line by doing it so..

[@naoxmon]

@@qeridexis8604 No but I'd delete it tbh. We're all here to watch Welonz play the game as she wants and blind, not Welonz following someone else's directions.

[@qeridexis8604]

@@naoxmon Yeah, and I agree, but it's not about a direction it's litteraly a missable dead end that is less than 1% of the game in terms of value. Like, the only reason I wrote this is because people tend to miss it waaaay yoo much as I noticed. If it was a puzzle solution, ending/story explanation or a GamePlay backseat then I would just STFU myself, but it's less than that so I don't feel like I backseat or anything

[@naoxmon]

@@qeridexis8604 lol you're telling her in advance about something that 99% people on a 1st playthrough will miss, I know I did, but that's the point of a blind playthrough, see what Welonz will do, not what YOU want her to do. Anyway I'm done, do what you want.

[@DarkKKnightt]

I really think you would enjoy malediction chapters 1 & 2, they are interactive choose your own adventure games on KZbin. They’re honestly really fun and underrated (they have multiple endings as well)

[@raitenoh]
