This game creates a really good darkness effect. In most games they'd either have it completely dark so you can't see what's in the room or they'd make it really dim, but you can always slightly make out what's going on. This game really captures darkness though, at first you go "Well I can't see shit better leave" but if you look for a little bit you see into the small cracks in the black and your eyes basically adjust to allow you to see a little. much like your eyes would in real life...

As an amateur theologian, I was interested to note that the Latin Bible at 3:20 is apparently an actual Latin Vulgate, seeing as the Psalms are "misnumbered." Psalm 22 in the modern Bible is Psalmus 21 in the Vulgate, and is the "depression chapter" and begins "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" which is the "Deus, Deus meus respice me" under Psalmus 21, which is also used at various later points in the game.

This game is the definition of "a work of art". Anybody who has suffered from extreme depression or anxiety will appreciate that the creator of this game is trying to show.

Neverending Nightmares doesn't get real until you play on Non-Stop Infinite Basements. But this game was pretty fucked up. It's a different kind of horror compared to a lot of other games. It's not so much banking on your reactions with jump scares but just a constantly degrading atmosphere.

[@SatsukiKiryuinAoi]

[@RhysClark97]

yeah, resident evil 4 for one used atmosphere and the constant threat of something actually threatening to the player like the idea of loosing the game. instead of scare bait, jumpscares and and just constant usage of stuff that would be scary to someone in that situation, but isn't to the person behind the pc, if not for the jumpscares that is

[@heavilyaugmented5308]

Rhys Clark Interactive Media Very true. Another good example that's in the indie department would be a game called Lone Survivor. If you've seen Pat's top 10 games of 2012, you'd know how good the game is like Silent Hill in every good way possible.

[@binaryp69]

I completely agree with what you are saying, but I believe the choice of including grotesque imagery in this particular game was a design choice. In nightmares there isn't a lot of atmosphere, there is only horrifying images. At least that's my reasoning for it's inclusion. Either that or the game designer sucks

[@busorenkin55]

But doesn't imagery add to the tension or build suspense in atmosphere?

[@JillLulamoon]

Why the hell aren't there more horror games like this anymore? Horror games that actually care about building up atmosphere and unsettling feeling before spooky shit happens? Most "surrival horror" games these days are just action shooters pretending to be horror. Even Evil Within, despite its claims of "bringing horror back" is mostly just a 3rd person shooter with spooky themes. Lets be real. And that's not even getting into what happened to Silent Hill (Never forget Downcoming)....

[@dragon2000200]

because action games sell better, doing a proper horror game is risky nowadays to do right. Silent Hill went downhill because its a franchise, meaning there's no more mystery left to silent hill to keep it interesting with so much revealed

[@JillLulamoon]

Sadly, yes. :( I don't believe that Silent Hill went to shit because of that. It went to shit because of lack of talent and just plain laziness. Honecoming (which I hold as the moment SH lost its way) is a poorly written rip off of SH2. Nearly everything in Homecoming is copied from previous SH games or from other movies/games. It was laziness that killed SH, at least with Honecoming.

[@samir.3468]

Survival horror as a genre has generally been focused on the theme of having limited ammunition or means with which to defend yourself. Evil Within is certainly closer to that than Resident Evil 5 or 6, at least.

[@ShutterSnapped]

While not a big contributing part of this, I think a factor that plays into this is the creators. This was made with the intention to describe and help create the feeling of what one of the designer's feels with depression and OCD. There's a lot of very gruesome and disturbed games out there with great design (Silent Hill just as an example) but the inspiration coming from, at least in part, due to a very real thing like mental illness, affects the type of game it creates. Execution plays a large role as well but a lot of games like these come from a more personal side. The indie market and independent developing I find really interesting allowing stories of this nature to come to visualization.

[@Abon666]

***** Which is why I think that Silent Hill 4 was the way the series should have taken, focusing less on the town of Silent Hill and turning into more of an anthology horror series. Yes I know that Silent Hill still play some part in the story of Silent Hill 4 and yes I know that it's kinda dumb to keep the name Silent Hill if you're going to make sequels not having anything to do with the town itself but the series was printing money for Konami at that time and they where going to pump out more sequels regardless.

[@johnkramer2144]

So this guy based this game off his dream? Maybe I should do that. I had a dream when I was 12 and had just learned about abortion. I am adopted and when I learned about abortion, it really bothered me. That night, I had a dream that I was even younger and was in a hospital with baby holders and there was crying but no babies. I then walked up to a mirror and in the mirror I saw a pregnant women. She looked at me and back down at her stomach and said "I don't want you anymore." At that moment, her stomach started bleeding. All of a sudden my entire body explodes in wave of pain. I look down and see that my entire body is melting in a pool of my own blood. I scream like an animal being put through hell "WHY?!!! I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO ME!!" before my voice is choked off by blood flowing through my throat. I start clawing at the floor as my vision blurs over in red... And then I wake up. I was in cold shivering sweat and had tears in eyes. I feel a red liquid in my mouth. I had bite my tongue in panic. And that was my worst nightmare ever. I never told anyone until recently cause I thought I would be sent to therapy and I really did not want to seem like some crazy child. In truth, I was just keeping this all bundled up inside. And now, all of you know.

[@LegallyBlindGaming727]

But was it hyper-realisitic blood? Ouch man. You have my feels; then again, your original parent might have just wanted you to have a better life and couldn't support you. I'm sorry. I dunno.

[@johnkramer2144]

LegallyBlindGaming oh I bet she did. Its just the thought that she could have just as easily just got rid of me that scared me.

[@CHESHIRES_SMILE]

Yeah dreams sure are neat. I don't know if theres a term for it but I have a somewhat self aware subconscious. Like a negative part of my mind is active and likes to keep me sad and unhappy. Probably has something to do with my depression and introverted nature making all my negative thoughts and feelings stir up since I can't repress negativity as well as I do everything else. With that in mind I always used to think lucid dreaming would be cool except that would allow all that dark places in my head to have full control over my dreams and that doesn't sound to pleasant. Probably why I rarely have dreams as of late. But yeah the mind can be a truely terrifying place especially when left to do whatever it wants.

[@BiohazardBunney]

Bullshit dream is bullshit.

[@Mareepu]

I kind of understand the shock toward abortion. When I was 11, I was told by my father (distant, crummy, not really a father, didn't live with him but still visited) that my mother wanted to abort me. And kids, you know, they take things like that personally, so I tell my mother in tears, and I just watch a grown woman crumple into a whimpering child. Turns out, my father was the one who didn't want a child- he, together with my grandmother, forced my mother into drinking a concoction of chemicals (some old-wives' recipe for guaranteed abortion) twice, leading to two miscarriages and infections that lasted from the dead foeti that remained in her womb. By the time I came around, she was scarred but ready to defend me. Later I learned it was a psychological thing, but for nearly two months I would constantly complain of pelvis pain, would vomit anything I ate, and the sound of children would make me nearly burst into tears. So that was pretty fucked up. But I guess the cool thing is, despite our negative experience with the concept of abortion, and despite our vastly different circumstances, we both had a parent that _really_ wanted us, and that shit's more rare than winning the birth lottery. You had an opportunity to air out your nightmare without negative judgement, and I'm glad you're with us, man.

[@CounterSSFTW]

'The beatings will continue until morale improves' is a famous quotation of unknown origin. It literally denotes how morale, such as within a military unit or other hierarchical environment, will be improved through the use of punishment. More importantly, the phrase is used sarcastically to indicate the counterproductive nature of such punishment or excessive control over subordinates such as staff in the workplace or children living at home. -Wikipedia

[@demilung]

Okay, here it is. Matt and Pat are both from Canada, they should be going to similar schools - county have standarts for education. But Pat has no idea what Matt is talkign about. That's because - wait for it - Matt was going to a murder school. Special facility where canadian governmets, really hyped by X-MEN comincs to have their own super-soldier squad, trained kids to be killers. It was a hight-level covert operation, only few people knew about it in a whole country. They were doing hearing test to hear a hearbeat of a bird from 2000 meters, eye tests, so on. And all the results were reported straight to the President. Matt has vague memory of those times, because it's supressed deep in his mind. One day american Black Ops took out the school with a help of a sertain kid from inside, who went rogue on his abusive teachers. I don't want to point fingers, but that kid grew up to be a big fan of America F@ck Yeah kind of things. I also think Liam is someone's double agent. Or everyone's double agent at the same time.

[@Mareepu]

I know this is a joke, but, man, have you seen American schools? The standards _really_ differ by the city, county, and state. Some school a city away from you could be just teaching the basics of multiplication in 4th grade, while the 2nd graders in your city have nearly mastered multiplication and are getting their feet wet in division. Same goes for standardized testing, depending on the school- and the differences become even more widespread once you get private schooling into the mix. America has amongst the largest disparity in education under the same country in the world, so I reckon other countries could also suffer from quite a bit of disparity as well.

[@Fjarhultian]

Why do I laugh most at the word "pajammer-man"?

[@VangeistXIII]

Fuck I cringed at the vein part.

[@OldIronJohnson]

Just go and punt Raiden a few times, Senator. That'll pick your spirits right back up.

[@RhysClark97]

NANOMACHINES SON!

[@alexandertrachsell8617]

The part with VEINS made YOU cringe.

[@DanielYellsAtPeople]

Senator should I grab you some more nanomachines? Those always seem to return you to your natural color, gray.

[@SuperNintendoZach]

I have a specific phobia about veins, as well. It's intense sometimes, makes giving blood hell. That scene from nightmare on elm street dream warriors or whatever it's called, where Freddy turns a guy into a puppet and the guys veins are the strings.

[@kevinsoria651]

I slowed it down to ge a better look at one of the spooks to 0.5x speed, and good heavens, did Matt and Pat sound HILARIOUS.

[@SetsunaNoUta]

Let's play a game! Describe your life with a spooky game title. ....Mine's 'Alone in the Dark'. ;_;

[@EpitaphxOfxGungnir]

Mine will be, "Insominamnesallucination: The Smack Up." Every minute of your life is a horrible, fucking waking nightmare when you realize that all you want to do is put a bullet into your head. But, each time you do, you're really hallucinating about all the monstrosities and nightmares on a daily basis and the gun gets replaced by someone's random thong, they just never end, man. Then finally you realize that you're a Gundam Pilot... FOR GUNDAM SEED! Then you wake up making out with your pillow, but that's just the first ending. Also, it has tank controls during some sections.

[@exiledPostman]

doom

[@themoleman6806]

Mine's *Paranoia*

[@LovinTheSickBeat]

Escape from Bug Island xD

[@kaine1723]

Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

[@modobo]

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

[@SlickAnims]

This game is gorgeous but at the same time it's extremely uncomfortable to watch, not because of the visceral imagery but watching the animations go between pretty good to awfully stiff makes my stomach turn. But still very interesting, I may have to pick it up.

[@Dwickeh]

man you guys should have had this as a week long one. super good and fairly short so you could've beaten it easy baby!

[@calebrogers777]

Pat why do you not get one of those things that splits the audio into two channels so you and matt can both use headphones? I'm assuming like you guys have ipod headphones in and sit super close.

[@ChrisPhails]

they might want to have one ear open when talking to each other. having good, insulated headphones will actually obstruct conversation

[@DanielYellsAtPeople]

Then they wouldn't be able to sit cheek to cheek anymore, and while strengthening Matt's S-Link with Woolie this would make his S-Link with Pat suffer, and then the Fan Fic summon would start losing its power. What the fuck was I trying to say before my mind decided to turn into a mush of stringing together more lore for the zaibatsu? Your guess is as good as mine.

[@BaneH711]

FATHER FATHER, why have you forsaken me, in your eyes forsaken me, in your thoughts forsaken me, in your heart forsaken meee

[@alexanderthemagnifcent2573]

Please finish Rule of Rose. For me...

[@Pazzknallie]

They will, after the Shitstorm ends.

[@alexanderthemagnifcent2573]

We can only hope

[@Pazzknallie]

Matt posted on Twitter that they'll finish it because they like the game so much. They're also going to finish the Bug Island game.

[@cherribunni6956]

Cryaotic also played Rule of Rose. You can watch his LP, he's cool.

[@alexanderthemagnifcent2573]

Thanks

[@uzganskashYT]

omg, i just love the music in the background of this game, fits the mood alot :)

[@Nagittchi]

If there was "Worst Game of the Shitstorm" award, this would be it.

[@maria_remedios]

WTF EVEN!?

[@q306005]

I was just about to say the exact opposite. Only game all year that even remotely frightened me.

[@ThOfficialStick]

I prefer this to both The Forest and Five Nights at Freddy's.

[@homelessguy100]

Are you forgetting Five Nights at Freddie's?

[@Gore6194ever]

Kyber Mies Please tell me whats so bad about it? I have not seen a single person give me a legit reason.

[@trickso4025]

Nice things I noticed in the Asylum: The writing in the scare-cell is the same as the writing you found by your own dead body. One of the eye charts actually reads, "Everything is a lie".

[@FreeDjinn]

"It's an evil satan book, oh no its just the bible" same difference

[@JesterNil]

Couple things they missed while playing the game. The wooden blocks in the toy room with all the soldier stuff, spelled out "MURDER". Then in the asylum, the eye test chart on the left spells out "EVERYTHING IS A LIE".

[@BytheCaye]

NOPE. DIDN'T LIKE THE VEIN PART. NOT AT ALL. NOPE. FUCKEN NO THANKS.

[@lustandluster]

Caridin I KNOW RIFHT????? LITERALLY FUCK OFF NO PLEASE NO

[@HeinrichKonig]

The atmosphere in this game's awesome, the soundrtack's cool, the aesthetic is unique and interesting, the game's slow, but appropriately so in a thematic sense... The problem I have with the game though (and I might get a lot of flak for this) is it doesn't really say anything about anxiety and depression beyond "it is like something wot is really scary and horrible". There's nothing to realise beyond the fact that mental issues are bad...

[@riastradh]

HeinrichKonig I don't think this game was really meant to have a bigger meaning about mental issues. I think the creator used his to help create the game, and not much more

[@calicovmin]

When everything gets really old and creepy, the blocks in the toy soldier room spell: MURDER

[@LegendaryO34]

7:47 back in the day it was very "academic" to have a skull on your desk

[@glistera]

There's the band Murder by Death with there absolute tune, Until Morale Improves, The Beatings Will Continue.

[@spaghetmunch5729]

+Lorelei Rogers Is that a reference to the downpour lets play?

[@seanharv]

I like how my reaction to every room when you enter is "Well this seems super evil, awesome."

[@chay3131]

I love how this game is terrifying without much jump scares.

[@ginger-ham4800]

Now, I'm not sure if there was any near the end, but you can step on glass to distract the blind freakazoid and then walk past him.

[@Sawta]

"That was not a human shape, that was a Woolie shape...bulbus." Top notch, Matt! Top fucking notch.

[@tokiwartooth9935]

"The beatings will continue until morale improves." Most likely you heard that on The Simpsons (forgot which episodes), but as far as historical context is concerned its origins may be traced to either William Bligh pre-mutiny on the Bounty or a mistranslated and out of context phrase relating to the Japanese Imperial Navy during WWII.
