My dad’s rich architect friend lives in a mansion on top of a hill. It’s very big, they have their own pool, home theater, arcade room, a whole drum set & guitar, gym, and garage full of expensive cars. They didn’t hire cleaners because they did not trust them with the valuables, but the ceilings were too high to clean so there were some cobwebs and dust covering the hanging wooden ship model. I think it’s a cool place to invite all your friends over, but since the couple’s children moved away for college I can imagine how lonely it can get to wander around in such a big house.

[@heroyolkie]

This is honestly one of the saddest horror games I've watched. The voice acting is top-notch for me. The story was kinda predictable but the way the events unfolded really made it pop. It was sad, and I feel so bad for Hailey and Derek. When she started screaming it really sounded like someone was scared out of their minds and even scared to death (though, literally). The loneliness afterwards and the wandering made it so psyhologically frightening, too. Cried a whole lot when it finally came to the final elevator. It was soul crushing (sorry). The horrified scream, the knowing voice of someone who just wants to go home... 😔 For a student project, this was very well made. Hope they passed!

@@Td456_ for me personally, a sudden shift in camera without something to focus onto- like the little X in Skyrim -- can start making me feel nauseous. Motion blur that makes it even harder to focus on an object can make it worse. Because the camera in this game shifted soooo quickly so people could look around and see all the sudden changes, it made me pretty sick. I also can get sick in cars going on a super curvy road too, if I dont focus on the road itself; reading or playing games in the car for me is not advised.

This is honestly one of the more terrifying games I've seen featured on this channel, and the fact that it manages that without jumpscares or even any real sort of threat to the player is impressive. It's the idea of feeling lost in your own home, seeing the one place where you should feel the most safe twisted into something frightening and alien that progressively makes less and less sense that really gets me. And the level design really contributes to that. Even before things start getting weird, the architecture of the place is FUCKED. I don't think there's a single room that has only one entryway. Everything interlocks, so it's hard to tell if you're backtracking or making a new route when finding your way around.

You had me at "Huge Shifting Brutalist Dream House"

[@vikram8411]

The ghost must have flunked architecture school.

[@GothicRK]

That voice acting and architectural design was STELLAR!

[@vicenteisaaclopezvaldez2450]

I really like brutalist architecture, I like anything that makes me feel tiny and defenseless.

[@eternityortega5017]

Vicente isaac Lopez valdez kinky

[@Chris-jl6vp]

Honestly this was a pretty good watch. The atmosphere is really, really good. And it didn't descend into mindless absurdity. The majority of what was seen had a general purpose or related to the two architects.

[@Delta97976]

That’s no house, that’s a city with a roof on top.

[@curiousguy8581]

This is my first time to play a horror video game. I really like this game. I love the atmosphere. There will be lots of movements and I literally became a bit motion sick. The wandering around the seemingly endless hallways, the walls suddenly appearing, made me feel really scared. The female voice is really fantastic. The ending is not a shocker but it's really sad. And thank you for making this game free! I'm really grateful, especially now that I'm stuck in the house.

[@taniawismeyer5959]

Looks like the perspective of the Sims when the game is glitched up and filled with weird mods

[@wavestation999]

Wow, this was way better than I expected. The voice acting really took it to another level, and made me emotionally invested.

[@luisangelbruni8998]

First 10 seconds: "Sorry i'm late D." How am i not supposed to chuckle here?

[@francreeps4509]

Me at the beginning of the video: Wow what a nice house, how much rent? *shit goes down, things get creepy* Me: nevermind

[@MCVessels]

Still, if the rent's decent...

[@IsisNiko]

ah, my two most hated things- being lost and the concept of brutalism

[@donatomezzenga7430]

makes me wish House of Leaves was a game

[@leastmachine8693]

This guy gets it.

[@CharlieTooHuman]

Yes, finally found a comment referencing House of Leaves! This game is clearly inspired by The Navidson Record.

[@MCVessels]

Try The Ice Bound Concordance and Mondo Medicals: one for the text, the other for the walls.

[@stabilini]

As an architect I need to say it: this was awesome. It‘s like immersive Monument Vally with some poor horror movie, I liked so much.

[@khettalie]

18:25 I don't know why, but that made me laugh XD

[@a.9106]

Same lmaoooo

[@alpereninan9500]

Lol😂

[@nasritahir8797]

Yasss brutalist architecture yasss id love to live in a stylish opressive concrete monolith hmmmm

[@MrAnthonyIII]

I genuinely would though. It's quite beautiful in it's own way, and concrete can be homey too

[@小彭-t5n]

"I love scary stuff happening, as long as it's on a page." Hmm... If only...

[@theterminaldave]

Wow beautiful (yet kinda uncomfy chairs to have to use all day), great experience though, really cool, and yeah the voice acting was great, nice job Hailey

[@blackmore9570]

i liked the lucky bracelet bit. makes the character seem more like a real person

[@_lithp]

The news broadcast was the definition of subtle. XD

[@adityawigoena6255]

It reminds me to the masterchef stage set

[@mimi013]

Holy heck you are right!

[@Mouseforatu]

The really deep ghost voice sounds like Alduin

[@rireki_riri]

alduin fu***d up the world lines again

[@egginashell]

Felt like i am watching a movie. The voice acting was really good. It sets a good tone. It really made me sit through the whole game. Awesome VA

[@ahmetberkhot9035]

Calling a house like this one as "brutalist", that's the real horror.

[@captaindinglepants4890]

Poor lady. The VA did a great job. I love the idea of a house that's constantly changing

[@kingjay6009]

Awww... That ending.. 😞

[@Skybaby79]

What ending ;)

[@ricogeuze923]

This game accurately describes how an architect feels when he gets stuck in the design process: his own creations suddenly don't make sense anymore; he gets lost in his own design as he seeks for a way out of the madness while things keep growing more absurd. And then, if you are lucky, suddenly you see the light and the world of chaos turns into a comprehensible world where everything just feels fit. Every architecture student can relate.

[@derbanFOURTWENTYDEATH]

Idk what y’all talking about, I absolutely hate the design and layout of that house.

[@harperh1067]

EXACTLY

[@William_Porter]

Same, its the opposite of cozy

[@ryarod]

I remember having watched this whole thing through. This is one of my favorites of all of your playthroughs, and it's one of the only walking simulators I've ever enjoyed watching be played.

[@michaelhowe8674]

Imagine living in a house so big, you get lost and end up dying in your own home because of it.

[@ATV0222]

it's also interesting to see references to lovecraft's writing, as he often mentions odd geometry (even though he wasn't right when he said "non-euclidian geometry" but let's face it, he was an idiot and couldn't do math), and that's a big premise in the game

[@abdobelbida7170]

When your minecraft house is too big that monsters spawn inside.

[@mitchellboyce9853]

Not the most reasonable compliant I've ever had, but... Elevator crashes are basically impossible in any elevator built in like the last century. The worst-case scenario is the elevator just getting stuck where it is.

[@marcforrester7738]

People do need to know this. The cable tension holds the emergency brake open, lose that and it wedges into the shaft to await rescue. The real danger is getting trapped between floors when no-one knows you're there.

[@tsuwu5260]

Lesson learned: Don't get a huge mansion for 2 people and don't like horror things happen.

[@CapnCorn304]

23:10 that has to be one of the most convincing screams I've heard in a video game

[@TheSolarWolf]

The voice acting was pretty amazing for an indie title.

[@carlosbarcena6069]

Very interesting concept, loved that the horror protagonism is in the level itself, which is also very well done. The horror scenes flow and grow and climax in well executed ways. Graphics and music are good quality and cohesive, and the voice acting is amazing! It really took the game to another level. The plot seems to be kind of left out, it seems the game is already out, but it would have been heart ripping to see some scenes with the husband where she is there but can't interact. I know it's cliche, but works every time I love it and I'm off to download it by myself right away Thanks!

[@mavieee]

18:25 THIS IS SO FUCKIN FUNNY THE WAY A DOOR JUST RANDOMLY APPEARED AND OPENED LIKE THAT SKKSKSSSKSKSJDDJHJDKD

[@themongothatbongoed]

The intro music was calming. :D

[@Jorjais30]

Yeah, Its nice
