►About the Game -
SAMARA is a first person, single player psychological survival horror game. The game unfolds as Player sets out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of his uncle, whom he hasn't heard from in over a year. He has no idea that this seemingly ordinary visit will send him into a terrifying experience beyond his wildest dreams.
Upon arriving at his uncle's secluded estate, the player is greeted by an unsettling silence that hangs heavy in the air. The once-familiar surroundings suddenly feel claustrophobic , as if there were invisible monsters lurking just beyond the shadows.
As he cautiously explores the dimly lit halls and forgotten corners of the house, a sense of foreboding intensifies with every step.
The nightmare begins with the finding of a lone doll that appears harmless at first glance. The glassy eyes of the doll seem to follow the player everywhere he goes, and something about it feels inherently wrong. Its presence also evokes an unexplainable feeling of dread.
As the night wears on and the tension reaches its peak, the player finds himself inexorably drawn back to the eerie doll, its presence a constant reminder of the malevolent forces at play. The doll's true nature is exposed in a climactic, terrifying showdown that unleashes a terror beyond description.
The player has to face the deepest recesses of his own mind in order to survive the night and discover the terrifying truth behind his uncle's disappearance, his nerves strained and his sanity on the verge of collapse. However, the doll's eerie stare stays, serving as a disturbing reminder of the horrors that lie just beneath the surface, even as daylight breaks and the nightmare fades.

The game is made in Unreal Engine

[@Xanderfied]

The reason your uncle is chasing you is because his TV remote stopped working, and he found out you been pilfering all the batteries he had in the house . It's your own fault really.

[@ErinJeanette]

My daughter does this and tbh I understand where uncle coming from 😂

[@sunny_girlfriend]

Surprise final scene where you defeat your uncle with a sock full of batteries

[@dispereverent]

Love it when it says "terrible indie horror game" in the title. 😂😩

[@Miluse.Evesteins97]

cju aren't playing around 🤣🤣🤣

[@ToutCQJM]

@@Miluse.Evesteins97there’s more than one CJU?

[@ab-gail]

I crack up whenever I see that.

[@benjaminspurlock9651]

It's horrible of me to say, but I always appreciate how Chris is honest in his reactions. I could mark the exact moments where the initial interest turned to disappointment, and then to shoulder-shrugging indifference. In a content ecosystem that usually focuses on being 'positive' or sticking to an image, it's refreshingly honest. I don't wish more terrible indie horror games on him, but I can't think of anyone else I'd enjoy watching play them more.

[@JoMiMo555]

You nailed it. I feel the same way. Something else I appreciate about him is just how patient and forgiving he is. He gives a game every chance possible before he gets to that point.

[@the_ecips9692]

Very well said and I 100% agree. :)

[@RikoTakahashi]

I can really relate to this comment. 😂

[@DenWell-SeedsOfChaos]

While the game was unsavory, spending time in your company is always a pleasure.

[@platothepug]

You had me at Terrible.

[@JessicaMosteller]

Likewise.

[@AlexOlinkiewicz]

For those that may not recognize it, the house this "game" takes place in is the house from the game "What Remains Of Edith Finch". Few years back many assets from that game ended up becoming free assets on the Unreal Market Place.

[@DetectiveJones]

It's also used in Demonologist, where it's the first house you explore.

[@shannono2292]

Came here to say the Edith Finch thing, that wonky door into the attic next to the bookshelf is so indicative of that house and I want one!

[@peteranisimov4929]

I knew I recognized this place! Thought I was going crazy

[@alicialg4757]

I loved that game!

[@Wolfbane382]

I knew I recognized these rooms from somewhere! It wasn't until I saw the attic stairs I was like "Hold up a second. I know this house!"

[@furrowingowl5906]

Apparently what remains of Edith Finch is a ridiculous number of batteries.

[@hannahdemon]

Ah I remember when my dear old Uncle Raptor bought me a bald, naked doll. Sweet memories

[@maniacalvortex815]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mkwilson1394]

Do not apologize! You've saved your collective community hundreds of hours and dollars! Thank you!

[@rod2822]

It's official. You're the king of batteries!

[@ChestyVonF]

Wait... Why the fuck did it tell you to find a lighter for those candles?! What was the point of ANY of that?!

[@mcrews77]

"Terrible??" This is so gonna rule.

[@isaiasjuarez9041]

In "Palmyra Orphanage" you had like over 22 lighter fluid out of nowhere in the end but I don't know if that counts LOL

[@Tamiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

And if you want your uncle to disappear..💀😂

[@Xanderfied]

accuse him of being a diddler ?

[@methamphetamememcmeth3422]

​@@Xanderfied nah he's good from behind

[@Pokora55]

Not the kind of service I expected from CJU

[@Imscaredofeverything]

The "Terrible" in the title checks out when the toilet isn't usable.

[@Miluse.Evesteins97]

everything is terrible if the toilet not working everydays is perfect day if there a toilet

[@kalezuki9231]

Nice looking or at least working toilet? Good. Toilet you can't even use and / or it's absolutely disgusting? True horror right there ( imo ) Also , no reflections in mirror unless the mirror was very dirty or paintef over or sone thing & that's why we couldn't see our selves nor any thing else reflected.

[@rozharris6834]

I love the basketball bouncing couch that just never stopped.

[@isaiasjuarez9041]

The part where the uncle is following and couldn't walk through the door to get to you had me cracking up 😂

[@Xanderfied]

Man, you lock a few young girls in your basement to "teach them math", and suddenly you're a "bad guy", Whats this world coming to?

[@fjorgyn7438]

This made me lol for real.

[@user-gu9yq5sj7c]

The uncle tied the kids in black bags. It's also wrong to lock kids in a basement no matter the reason, like math. The basement was such a trap that even the uncle got stuck in his own basement and died. The kids may have gotten the same fate. People went after the uncle cause the kids were missing.

[@Xanderfied]

@@user-gu9yq5sj7c This made me lol for real.

[@louderthenvisual]

the joke went 'woosh' right over your head. @@user-gu9yq5sj7c

[@aenesthesia]

Hah! 🤭

[@uros.u.novakovic]

Listen, I can understand everything. But the gun at the end to shoot at lamps on the wall? What the fuck?

[@LuisaM-]

literally lmao, i thought is for self-defense but no. 😭 this was indeed a "terrible" indie horror game.

[@DetectiveJones]

I always feel a little bad for these games, as they're made by somebody and HOPEFULLY tried to make a good game. At the same time, I do absolutely love watching the bad ones.

[@jdhzjdh]

It definitely takes a 10 battery man to see this gem through.

[@melissatheminx4710]

I love how 'Victorian' Chris becomes when he's disgusted at the quality of a game. ''That was DREADFUL' I can imagine him saying 'Good DAY to you , Sir' to the hapless Dev.

[@shanonymousmc9777]

Moment of silence for all the innocent uncles lost to Chris' links in the description today

[@RayneOfSalt]

Is this meant to be a "found footage" style game, or did the developers somehow not know that when you look through a video camera's viewfinder it does not have vhs tape degradation errors?

[@Ryunaker1]

"I think I'm losing the will to play this game" When you KNOW a dev for a horror game fucked up. :P

[@patrickblakethesaint]

I have strep so im confined to bed. I just woke up to a cju and nostalgia nerd video. I may be feeling better shortly!

[@rocker_kitty3807]

You were hilarious as always Chris, we could really taste the exasperation in your voice in this one. But hey we got a record 44 batteries, that's some kind of accomplishment right? 🤣

[@Vidas-Mr.Timore]

I thought "it's not that bad..." and then that first "scare" happened 😂

[@taintedpactgames8947]

"And if you want your uncle to disappear" lol

[@35PHaaton]

Finally, i've been waiting so long to have the terrible series come back hahaha

[@edipofe]

31:51 the disappointment in his voice😅

[@backdoorslot9]

Sounds like fun. Edit. Some hamsters having fun under that sofa.

[@ddous1]

This isn't the Edith Finch sequel I was expecting... 🤨

[@LainiWeiz]

Why does the uncle sound like a velociraptor?

[@not_a_womble]

because he's a predator!

[@fjorgyn7438]

​@@not_a_womblebah dum tsh

[@elvingearmasterirma7241]

The boards that just gave up had me cackling so hard I had tears in my eyes. And I know the bag sequence was meant to be impactful but the lack of any sound design for the impact on the ground or on each other just This game is not a horror game. Its a comedy

[@isaiasjuarez9041]

I've seen similar comments about it, But I love how CJU reviews the games his playing while he commentates along while we watch his classic videos, Let's go CJU!!! 💪 Your the best!!!

[@Scriptor13]

Samara. The terrible indie horror game that was beyond CJU's wildest dream.

[@aaarrrggghhh]

Hey Chris! Maybe you can check out "Incubus - A ghost-hunters tale". It's made by the creator of The Lost Crown games, [Barrow Hill games?], and Dark Fall games you played in the past. I just recently watched them and I love them very much. xD

[@alicialg4757]

I'll watch you play a terrible indie horror game any day, CJU, any day ❤

[@McTwitchWithFries]

The return of the Ten Battery Man!

[@leosmith7511]

I was confused from the start as to why we had a TV for a head. That didnt make much sense...

[@Sparksterchan]

Me at 10:50: He said the thing! 🤣 And at 41:18 or so, was that Prowler's theme slowed down a bit? Thank you for putting yourself through this for our amusement, Chris. Your commentary is always top notch!

[@Steve-YT383]

Hour long with that title phrase. Oh boy, we're in for an experience 😅

[@LetsTalkIBD]

Your terrible ones are by far my favorite! 😂

[@ToddSweeney341]

Terrible really means just relaxing time 😁😁😁

[@isadoraxeppa8615]

When Cju puts "terrible" in the title you know it's gonna be truly horrible

[@bookoome16]

"And if you want your uncle to disappear" 😆 I never get tired of hearing these entrances

[@BASSOSOVIETICO1987]

As soon as I saw the title I knew it would be some entertaining stuff from your side of course. But oh man! How can you kill such a story attempt with such incompetent work?

[@yajgg1074]

is it just me or does the house feel like the one in "What Remains of Edith Finch"?

[@LlTTLEMlNNOW]

It's the same asset! A lot of them from edith finch became free for use after a while.

[@lyallanima]

It’s been so long since you’ve had a terrible indie horror game I had almost forgotten how enjoyable you make them 😂 Sorry you had to play through it, but thanks for sharing with us as always!

[@JoMiMo555]

Oh man. I can't wait to watch this one. It's been a while since a game's been worthy of the "terrible" moniker.

[@isaiasjuarez9041]

Top quality entertainment CJU!!!, Thanks for the upload LOL😂

[@gabrielaizquierdo5174]

My Fiance and I watched this and when the boards fell slowly that and the floating drawers in the wall we were busting out laughing! Your comments were very hilarious. I mean the dev tried and i hope he learns from this one and continues to make his games better. Hopefully this doesn't discourage him too much to not continue. Its just a learning experience.

[@Lumiria]

Uncle John has been busy. A pretty apt description and another addition to the terrible playlist. Your commentary helps us through it as always.

[@Stephanie-rh2he]

It has been awhile since you've played one this bad! Glitchy attic, mystery bouncing ball, and was a video tape ever found? All this and more just for the house! Just loads of fun for us watching you suffer through it 😉 Can't wait for the next one! 😆

[@Quinlana83]

Very entertaining commentary. Thank you for playing, CJU!

[@brushdogart]

Wow, this really is a TERRIBLE horror game but it's great for a laugh! I loved calling out the over-loud jump scares and the "footsteps" that sound more like a basket ball.

[@petitemasque5784]

I think the title is hilarious, it could work for a Goosebumps-like children's show though. "Mysterious Uncle and the Terrible Indie Game".

[@99nakkers]

Maybe, but it was a hoot watching you play, as always. It was the comment about the castle with all the cannons next door, that did me in.

[@sancat888]

chris’s laugh is the best cure for depression😊

[@elidblfap2818]

Game of the year

[@stephaniemendes4540]

I've just watched this game while working... yep, sometimes I get bored and need some Chris' videos to pump my heart louder... and, wow! Despite the awkward and lousy game, I had a blast laughing at Chris' reactions. There's never a terrible indie horror game with you, Chris. Thanks for that!

[@StudioRamenCat]

THIRTY Battery man HYPE!!!!😺 Keep up he great work a always XD

[@MaryInfante]

I always enjoy your playthroughs, this game was painful, thank you for keeping it entertaining with your commentary.

[@torokk21]

The moment I saw the bookshelves under the window with that little glass cabinet in the middle on the second floor, I recognized it as the house from Edith Finch. That was such a good game

[@yoyoyo416]

I have so many indie-horror games in my Steam library with a "Terrible" tag, lol. So many bad ones, but it's part of the fun when it comes to horror games!

[@balanceofjudgement6136]

That went from; "How is this game gonna play out." To; "How many batteries will he collect!", very quickly. I was so excited every time you found more 😂 Tho, I would imagine walking with that many batteries in your pockets, would make it a lot easier for Uncle to catch you

[@jojeanajaxon]

Even if the game isnt that great, your commentary is always enjoyable haha.

[@JessicaSmith-bn1jp]

Wooooo! 10 battery man!

[@PiranhaPlant_454]

Oh god I love this intros 😂

[@Miluse.Evesteins97]

ngl his intro always got me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 cju never change that why i love this channel even been watching for long time

[@Nebulous_Neuhaus]

FIRST TERRIBLE INDIE HORROR GAME OF 2024 LET'S GOOOOO (2023 passed with only one [1] TIHG, _Ziondu)_

[@lolotheobserver2696]

Finally, the return of the Terrible Indie Horror Game™!! Thank you for enduring this for us, Chris 💚😆

[@shayoko6]

CJ makes everything better :D i wouldn't' t have finished it with someone else.

[@laniershazar]

Despite everything, I always love your commentary.

[@shevapendragon3281]

Chris was the only saving grace of this one.

[@afterschok6627]

Okay that's two TIHG's in a row. We need another quality series ala Conjuring House. Love the channel though.

[@elizabethfoster4297]

I love your commentary on terrible indie games! Definitely makes it entertaining

[@OutlawDin0]

Thank you, Chris for suffering so we don't have to.

[@Mx_Jayden]

4:38 This is just my clumsy self going up stairs...or down. 😂😂😂

[@marksmith9991]

Welcome back to the Terrible, videos, been a long time, but well done for trying everything

[@soukiexplains]

Thank you for making me laugh! 😂 your commentary was very funny

[@boussolefire]

Your commentary is what kept the game from crashing, thank you 😂

[@claudiagalasso5530]

I've never regretted watching a terrible indie game on your channel Chris ** canon fire ** 😂

[@ErrorInCode]

That game was terrible and unpolished as hell but your commentary is always enjoyable, thanks for the vid

[@ItsYourPal]

This is definitely one of the best games on this channel 🤣🤣🤣🤣. The commentry was just perfect cju❤️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JessicaMosteller]

We still appreciate when you play the bad ones. :D

[@lokicooper4690]

But, of course the commentary is entertaining; it always is! It had potential to start with, then quickly fell apart once you headed downstairs. Not the most original story, and not told very well. Thanks for playing it anyway, Chris. I got some good laughs out of it.

[@AASWORLD]

the game was not as I expected, but truth to be told you made it fun to watch you till the end!

[@DavidThierry57]

Thank you for making our evenings a little nicer than some tv series

[@Angua-tu3ot]

You always entertain no matter the game. 💜

[@butwhythough]

The sass and commentary MAKES these videos. That’s why terrible Indie horror games are some of my favorites

[@melliethemortician]

Im gonna create a game just to see how many batteries you can get and how many toilets you can use before the villain attacks you. Let me start working on that now lmao

[@avd-wd9581]

"young girls like me" What the... Alex was a boy at the start of the game.

[@cahebding]

I can forgive a LOT of crap in these games, but that CRT TV screen filter is beyond the reconciliation.

[@Y2KK94]

I have not seen one of your videos say "Terrible Indie Horror Game" in a long time. I do agree with what your review was at the end.

[@AnaFromTheShire]

Oooooh, been a while since we had a 'terrible' one, can't wait :D

[@thehorrorist3471]

Was hoping there'd be a battery-firing minigun at the end.

[@Barbie_killur]

The house with the cannon next door LOLOL omg it is getting silly 😂

[@isisross4516]

Oh, don't apologize! I hate these terrible indie games, but I do love to watch you play them. I feel sorry for you wasting your own time and money, but I appreciate you playing through them anyway and sharing a bit of fun with us.
