Fun fact: there’s a history of lighthouse keepers going crazy. This is believed to be a result of mercury poisoning, since what allowed the light to function properly is a pool of mercury. A massive pool of mercury. Exposure to so much of it for so long causes hallucinations and general sickness, which made afflicted keepers hate their job and either pass away (from su*cide or illness) or abandon their post forever. Edit: the mercury pool was supposed to suspend the spinning light mechanism, because it’s dense enough in large quantities to keep heavy objects on top of it, while also allowing for suspension because it’s a liquid.

i like how the chase scenes use the monster's POV. it adds to the horror of the not knowing what the creature actually looks like and makes the player's creativity take control of what they think the monster looks like. it's good horror game philosophy. the less you see of an unknown, the scarier it can become.

The scariest part of this I think is the small environment and the monsters it shows you that are awakening. The worst feeling a person can feel, in my opinion, is dread, and the threat of a monster in a cramped environment that you can barely walk in, let alone run, is terrifying, and creates massive amounts of dread.

Honestly, this is such a breath of fresh air from the typical indie horror games. It's like Little Nightmares. There are no jumpscares, no apparent threat, just... Silence. It's a very unique take on the typical horror game and takes advantage of nearly every aspect to frighten the player and simultaneously keep it interesting. It's really uncanny, like you're not supposed to be there. It reminds me a lot of No Players Online, where you're alone, and you have to figure things out for yourself. Anything could happen at any moment. It's horror done RIGHT

If I may very lightly suggest something, I think it would be a really good idea if you do analysis videos on games and then post your playthroughs of it after. I think it would be really good for your channel, since your analysis videos go in-depth about why a certain game is amazing, and then if you post a playthrough, we can see the perspective and the reactions you went through that end up influencing your opinion of the game. I felt this with Treasure Island and now this game as well, wanting to see the good parts that you've talked about in this video. And you did kinda do that with Treasure Island by making a reaction compilation, but I think that could be kicked up a notch by uploading your entire playthrough. Although, as you said in this video, you want us to play the games ourselves. But for me and others who aren't able to, I think you could make good content out of our interests in wanting to see the game. And sure, maybe many other people have had their own playthrough of these games, but it would be so much nicer if we see the thought process and perspective of the game analyst himself, y'know? This comment may be worded more like criticism, but I'm really just making a suggestion bc I think it's a brilliant and entertaining idea. Of course, if playthroughs aren't the direction you want your channel to go through, then there's no pressure to follow my advice.

As a student about to graduate with a degree in game design I believe that one of the most important skills a developer can have is to view your projects from as many perspectives as possible. Even if I’m not making a horror game having one section that has horror like elements to raise tension is still something I need to do properly and watching your videos gives me great insight as to what you think works for a horror game.

It’s victims are erased from the memories of others, as if they never even existed in the first place. One of DnD’s most horrifying monsters. Personally, I like the concept of reverse false hydras, someone just appearing someday, and it’s as if they were always there, but somethings not quite right, you can never remember exactly how you met them, others always tell conflicting stories about them that can’t possibly make sense according to linear time, yet no one ever seems to question it. And they’re always there. Even if you could have sworn they just left, they’re there again, and their appearance seems to shift everytime you see them. But, that’s how they’ve always looked, isn’t it? Maybe you’re just imagining things. In truth, they’re a reverse false hydra, draining your life force slowly as they hang around you, you age rapidly, but that’s just how old you’ve always been, right? Ah, mind’s not what it used to be, age creeping up on you. Perfectly natural. Happens to everyone eventually right? But you could have sworn that you were young and full of life just days ago. But that can’t be right can it? It was years ago, yes, so many years. You feel tired. Your friend suggests you take a nap. Yes, that seems a wonderful idea. So very tired. Just a quick… nap. Another victim drained, the insidious monster moves on. It took only days, and all that was left was a desiccated husk.

I like how your review of games are still very emotional and personal because it can get boring listening to someone talk about a video game like it’s a nature documentary. A series where you highlight unpopular yet still good indie games would be cool! And supporting small creators is always good

(This isn’t anything to to with the game) I think an underused way of jumpscares is that when you’re doing stuff, you randomly hear someone whispering behind you and when you turn around, there’s literally no one the there. I feel like that kind of jumpscare, like you said, builds tension, and having that happen randomly is just SO cool

The music that goes with the chase scene is amazing. not only that, the way the chase puts you in the perspective of the monster is literally genius, because you know whatever is chasing you is probably this horrifying creature with giant arms and legs and everything above, but you never see it. In other chase scenes, you can at least turn around and see whats chasing you. but this game saves this until the end. (Which is absolutely Genius)

Edit: Tried giving it to a friend to try it and they kept running into the problem near the end where they kept dying and nothing happening. So how vague the game is ruins the experience for people, and I didn't get to play it yet. How unfortunate I ruined it for both of us.
