DO NOT press the button...

The Corridor is an incredible narrated puzzle game, similar to the Stanley Parable, that is about NOT pressing a button!

this has to be one of the best edited videos on this channel, give your editor an extra slice of bread for this

[@anti-usernamesaltaccount3623]

And maybe some water too?

[@AngelaHurst-tu7ph]

And a bit of ukism

[@real_wc-ente4853]

one whole slice of bread is a bit too much i think it could damage his motivation to work hard

[@mirelaene5187]

Maiby if he dinint cut out parts of the game usaly this game takes 40 min and he just skiped a very important part

[@TyinAlaska]

1/2 slice

[@SpeedRunner33333]

I saw this video, then bought the game and got every achievement. Fun game for sure! By the way, I can confirm that pulling the "SAVE DATA" plug at the end does in fact erase your save data, causing you to start back at the beginning.

[@someoneelse4710]

Omg that's both horrifying and amazing XD

[@thecomputergeek101]

Yep, did that at the end of my video. Oops. For some reason, it is really cheap.

[@TrueFayQueen]

200 like!

[@fullmoonshadow6967]

As someone who's relatively tech-savvy, I'd imagine the "i'm in your pc" thing to have been a set of code that forces the window to "fake close" by hiding in the background, allowing it to act as an invisible process that still plays noise. The black screen is the program coming back out of hiding to cover what's there before closing.

[@The0Stroy]

This game have some "Stanley Parable" vibe to it.

[@f.d.3289]

as he said in the description, yes

[@ThatGuy-nm6jq]

I saw the video and thought it was.

[@darkwolfcz434]

In addition to that, gives me "There is no game" vibes!

[@AleksiJoensuu]

Matt playing Stanley Parable would be awesome.

[@tabathashaffer16]

The “damnit” of disappointment from him turning around and finding the button was funny

[@WafflezV2]

Hearing Matt at 10:15 immediately activated my fight or flight instincts

[@AAA-qn3kv]

I don't think I've ever heard anyone said that word and not wanted to immediately vomit

[@SynSpiderz]

Almost noped right out the video there

[@jonaw.2153]

My response was exclusively fight, I nearly punched the screen out

[@Starvaze]

Lad when you've been on reddit from quite some time "uwu" becomes irrelevant....

Matt should try 5D Chess With Multiverse Time Travel.

eh?

​@@AngelaHurst-tu7ph A game where your pieces can travel through time, usually spawning new timelines as they do. They can also travel between timelines. Games often end when a queen in the present checkmates a kkng in tje past.

Why do I feel like the editors created this game for some sweet revenge..😂

I like how chaotic it was just by pressing a button... That's a pretty cool game!

[@timtom2016]

17:44 Pretty sure it was done by firstly hiding the game window(if the text was not edited in, it probably took a screenshot of your main monitor and display it with overlayed text) and then creating 2 black windows on all other monitors

[@rondowar]

that, or just a transparent graphic, then full black graphic on all monitors, and then actually closing for real ^^

[@SpeedRunner33333]

I have the game, and can provide information. It probably takes a screenshot of the screen before opening the game, as no buttons would work and it would show my desktop if launched from there.

[@betongameindonesia]

@@SpeedRunner33333 so the text is edited or not?

[@SpeedRunner33333]

@@betongameindonesia The game can't change what shows on the computer outside the game window. I also forgot to mention that when the screen turns black, Windows Update Manager shows in task manager

Have you ever played Please Don't Touch Anything? It also has a button for you to press.

[@shaunrichardson2346]

i thought the Dev was Grian for a moment

[@DSoSJohnH]

lol. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of Grian. This would be almost perfect for him, just need a room with half a million buttons xD

What a strange and unique game concept. But, the whole time I wondered if something would happen, when you just stand in front of the button, staring at it and do nothing for a couple of minutes.

[@evisceratormkii6399]

I refunded this game, thinking it was crashing :/

Story time with Jester... Floating islands are a common natural phenomenon that are found in many parts of the world. They exist less commonly as an artificial phenomenon. Floating islands are generally found on marshlands, lakes, and similar wetland locations, and can be many hectares in size... I got you covered.. you weren't silly 👍

[@AB-Prince]

there are some 'islands' that are made of tightly packed moss that does float.

[@OrangeDino7]

‘I’m a cardboard man… with a cardboard plan’ got me cracking up 😂

Do not Press the Button... My mind immediately goes to the button that released 24 ghasts on Hermitcraft.

We heard RCE saying "uwu" before GTA 6💀

[@finnieflipflops1072]

Cool! anyway, here is the recipie for brownies! - 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter - 2 cups granulated sugar - 4 large eggs - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 1 cup chopped nuts (optional) Instructions: 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. 2. In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. 3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. 4. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts into the batter. 5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly 6. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). 7. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy your homemade brownies! :)

that Story time with Matt killed me xd just a little tiny bit of information from the past

The corridor was probably the best laugh i had in a game this year. Played through twice. Just excellent value. You missed out on a good few bit by only playing once. Also missed the content creator mode.

10:15 someone please clip this

[@zachspielberger8737]

This seemed like a perfect Matt game

[@Minorskillissue]

Paddy, is wise.

[@Warlock8ZERO]

Most modern games match your screen resolution and maximize the window by default, so it's not so hard to hide the window while the game is still running, then bring it back up as a black screen etc, really cool implementation though, got to say.

[@Dako_Trayshot]

at 12:11 casual "Adventure Quest Worlds" experience if u dont have a monster singlecore processor (a very big 2D MMORPG flash game that is there since 2k08, they rebuild it rn in unity)

I dont if im jobless or if i love RCE so much that i literally just watched him press a button cor 20 minutes 😂😂

Day 3 of asking Matt to play Paddycake. Either by clapping hands or giving Paddy treats.

[@John73John]

To answer the question about what game has better value: I have over 7,000 hours in Factorio. (I don't know the exact number because I bought it from the website before it was on Steam so I don't know how much playtime I have before Steam started keeping track for me. I paid $20 for Factorio originally. According to my math, that means it has a cost of less than 0.0048 U.S. cents per minute.

This is certainly one of the games of all time.

Nice that we know exactly how long every level took you

[@benlunaris]

And so Matt waited...And waited...And waited some more...Eventually, Paddy closed the game. But he could never be mad at this pup. However, Matt will never know if there was more buttons to pressed... It would be interesting to see if Matt could engineer a game though.

Imagine the game is not even supposed to close everytime, but is just so poorly programmed, that it crashes everytime something new is loaded

[@DarmiGames]

iirc, if you open the game again, there's a thank you. Also there's a computer with a web browser. You can put your channel there and it'll show the channel page. He then asks nicely, that because you showed it off to people for free, so he asks for the viewers to also buy the game even if they don't play it. I did it after seeing a video of a guy playing the game. I loved playing the game even tho I've already seen it on the video

There are such thing as floating islands. They are (for the most part) floating globs of decaying plant material, but some have enough heft to them to support a person.

[@dronicx4002]

this is like.... when my buddy imported "sys" into his IT homework (python code) where whenever the code got into an if statement it wasn't supposed to, he just ran sys.exit() in those branches which closes the window.... + don't push the red button. very fun time
