"A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one" Pretty sure this was actually the first playthrough I watched on your channel, so seeing the notification when I woke up made me incredibly nostalgic. I still remember how bloody terrifying Vanessa was when I was watching on 6 in the morning. Good times...

Tip: when you are invisible, DON'T USE THE SPRINT HAT. This may seem counterintuitive but the sprint hat causes effects when sprinting, therefore revealing your location. If you don't use the sprint hat then no one knows where you are.

[@Dragonmongamer]

Doesn’t running in general make effects?

[@pirilon78]

A hat in time is the kind of game to have characters noclip in the animations because they focus on the actual fun of the game and i love that

[@flawlesscookie5386]

I watched Merg's AHIT playthrough 2 years ago and seeing this game again now reminds me of better times before the whole world was turned upside down. It feels like 2019 again. I missed it. Both the game and those times. It feels nice that there is something so small, but full of meaning that connects "those" and "these" times - proof that it's still the same world. We're still here and it will get better

[@hikarioss2122]

*"What's up guys and welcome back to A Hat In Time"* You don't even know how much I was waiting for this!!! I literally avoided watching this *DLC gameplay* from other youtubers, just to get my *first reaction* along with Merg!!! (Same thing with *Hikkikomori route* from Omori) It was hard, not gonna lie LOL

[@Snukkuri]

Im sorry for being the 70th like

[@user-xy5yg6se1k]

same thing with hikikomori

[@spider78z]

I watch any video even if its dlc and hikikomori route

[@reduke]

Merg, you have no idea how much it means to me that you're coming back to A Hat in Time. Your playthrough literally made me the happiest ive ever been back in 2019 and 2020, and seeing you come back to it is amazing. Whenever you release a new video i get so so happy, youre like one of my favourite content creators. Please keep it up merg, and hey, now thag im early, you should try out a hat in time mods next!

Didn’t expect you to return to this game, but I won’t argue! Sadly I can’t play the dlc because it’s pc only, but this is basically the next best thing!

[@hduniverse1631]

16:25 Zodiak is actually recently in the party that i am in. (I remember that because of the adorable glaceon on his profile picture). Also thank you so much Merg for recording more of a hat in time. I watched ur entire series of this amazing game and i realy liked this game so i decided to try it myself. I don't know how to say how much i enjoyed this game... I just instantly buyed all the dlc's and had 50+ hours on this game so yeah, thank you for everything Merg! Not only for a hat in time series, but also for every video that you made, because i enjoy watching them. That's why you are my favorite KZbinr :) And my grammar definitly sucks so i am so sorry for that :'(

[@missbutterfly2904]

Never thought to see AHIT as a multiplayer game. The closest thing it has for multiplayer before was able to interact with other players. This game has just reached new peaks!

The best game has returned! I actually haven't seen this so I'll experience it blind! I can't wait :D

[@le_bennett]

Dude, this game still slaps. The DLC definitely managed to capture the charm of the original game. The manor level looks very cool, gotta say. And the dialogue (with voice-acting!) is great as usual. Have you considered doing a collab with some of your viewers on this? I’m sure people would show up if you post a lobby code and time in your ‘community’ tab. Might be good for video or stream content, who knows…? Or even just for fun.

[@timonbank7290]

I remember watching you play this the first time, this will be fun

[@DamageMaximo]

Merg, you're almost at 1 million subscribers, congratulations! You deserve way more than that for your fun content, you're one of the most wholesome youtubers I've ever seen, always being a really kind person, sticking to the normal let's play formula instead of over-editing your videos, playing a very varied amount of games and making my day better with every upload, thank you, please never change!

0:14 “Who once again sold her soul.” “Which is a *little* sad” 0:42 “I gotta do something” *Proceeds to wait what is presumably an ungodly amount of time just to hear the bonk noise* 1:54 Snatcher: In the middle of reminiscing over heartfelt memories Crab Steve: Ight imma leave lmao 10:51 “Is this creepy?” Merg is so wholesome that he needs validation to be creepy. 12:30 apparently? Why apparently? With that is sounds like snatcher is unsure of it himself. Which I guess goes hand in hand with his child-like demeanor with this whole thing. 20:20 well that was a short *lived* victory. 23:20 oh my god Merg has sandy (sand sunny) as his pfp that’s amazing 27:14 Merg is so good at this game he doesn’t even need to be trying to find anybody to get someone 27:25 Merg looking at a tombstone: Thinks of toast I mean, if Omori’s taught me anything it’s that you *do* turn into toast when you die 36:27 BROOOO Merg I bow down to you. I mean I’ve always bowed down to you but I do it especially now.

[@GDmk4578]

Merg, I just wanna say thank you for making this one of my favorite games of all time with your old playthrough. Usually everyone found out about this game from failboat. But me? I found out from you. Back then I used to ignore your a hat in time videos in favor of your other videos because I wasn't interested in indie games at the time. Until toward the end of your playthrough. I decided to watch one of your A hat in time videos cause I was bored. The game looked fun. So I decided to get for my switch just to try it out. I instantly fell in love with it. Honestly. I got the game 3 times on 3 separate systems. I would not normally do that for any game. That's how much I love this game. And I definitely still play it to this day with all the mods and stuff.I know your probably not gonna see this but I just wanna say. Thank you for introducing me to this masterpiece of a game. Probably one of the longest comments I wrote in a long time. Much love Merg!

[@alastortheradiodemon1929]

I felt a bit nostalgic watching this video. More a hat in time is a blessing I didn't expect thank you Merg!

[@Xuxu14]

Cannot watch this right now, haven't played it myself yet... But I hope you had a lot of fun Max!

[@betzyellow]

i recently started playing this game on my own after watching your old series, and its nice to see you playing it again. i dont know if you plan on actually coming back to a hat in time as a series or if you just casually passed by to check on the dlc, but i hope to see more of you playing vanessa's curse, maybe even trying some mods and fanmade levels in the future :)
