Your ability to find your way around these crazy maps never ceases to amaze me.

[@clintclark7463]

Chris said “ Fist this in “

[@patrickblakethesaint]

Right?!

[@notavailable174]

All I thought when I saw the writhing door was "Moisturise me! Moisturise me!" from a Doctor Who episode 🤣

[@LexKaiNix]

YES!! First thing I thought too 😭😆

[@patrickblakethesaint]

Im sorry, did you just say "fist this in"? Chris, no. You stop that

[@bellateef]

I'm just wondering how often he's used that line in real life...

[@OhGeeWillickersMister]

No fists for me please, I'm dainty

I knew things would get weird when I noticed that the house didn't have a single window… ;-) Kudos to you Chris, I wouldn't be able to play through such a frantic section while commenting my gameplay to an audience. You also have a great sense of direction. I would get rather lost in these dark maze-like structures. Cheers! //Rick

[@trickery2268]

Oh, I loved this. Sometimes a fantastic horror game just comes with that bit of surreality to it where even though your character knows what's up, *you* certainly don't, and it leaves you wondering. Love it.

[@Dravkwn]

When you get to "second" basement you know some hobbits must have been involved.

[@VcentGplaysGames]

I figured out the story: The abnormalities represent your fears, the walls represent accomplishments that they hold you back from. The monster is just your mind trying to keep you balanced with a healthy dose of fear. Once you finally rid yourself of all your fears, the fears that keep you grounded and from making bad decisions are no longer present and you free yourself from the mortal coil as you do not even fear death. On a serious note, wasn't a bad game. The way the horror picked up was actually really nice, where it looked like it might be a more silly game at first chop.

[@claudiagalasso5530]

Thanks for running with scissors Chris ;-)

[@lolotheobserver2696]

Everyone mentioning the fist comment but no one talking about the poop hammer? Shame.

[@claudiagalasso5530]

Chris making a toilet joke and almost no one notices 😂

[@donnydogpiss4533]

It's to smash the poops real good and put them in the hole.

[@PantheraMorag]

Is this an elaborate joke on the whole "silent hill is about circumcision" thing??

[@TheBloodiac]

23:55 I just had a huge "Myst"/ "Riven" flashback! :)

[@bandgeekforlife406]

Oh man, that hit the memory cells hard. I sometimes wish I could go back to not knowing what happens in those games and play them with a fresh slate :)

[@TheBloodiac]

@@bandgeekforlife406 Me too! :)

[@jamesc8259]

Myst 3 Exile was great too. Brad Dourif was in it 😊

[@methamphetamememcmeth3422]

It kinda reminded me of Mundaun.

[@seffie]

You always need a weapon in the bathroom. Some people have no manners and just barge in

[@emptyheadproductions666]

Better Silent Hill than Short Message.

[@rosssnyder4490]

I am going with the idea that it was the monster at the end chopping your head off in revenge using telekinesis rather than your character doing it themselves.

[@JayLaliberte-xs3ky]

Chris, I thank you for all the entertainment over the years so far! Got a good look at a lot of interesting games that I may or may not get into. Keep em rolling for as long as you're interested! I'm Game.

[@wvrym]

I'm impressed at how wildly uncomfortable (in a good way) this game made me, especially for how short it is. It hits a LOT of good, weird notes.

[@rambu-tan]

Agreed; great atmosphere, actually felt myself tense up several times throughout the video

[@BASSOSOVIETICO1987]

Strangely confusing but entertaining. Running along with scissors in Silent Hill would have been even funnier.

[@fredd3233]

Yep, idk about the story or the subtext, but this was alright. And now we can add "fist this in" to the long list of CJU quotes ^^

[@livf3107]

I've already got it printed on t-shirts ready to go as soon as he says the word

[@TruthSeekr2662]

Just what I needed today. Thanks Chris!

[@Scriptor13]

2:20 On the contrary, Chris, for our amusement it came out _exactly_ right. 😂 Weird game, but it kept you on your toes and me smiling from ear to ear. Thanks, Chris.

[@shadowjudge921]

Weird, rather dull and unexplained. WTH did I just watch? At first I thought I knew where the game might go. I thought it was going to reveal the player character was insane and killing ppl he thought were "abnormalities" But then it went into Silent Hill territory and had him running to escape death while trying to solve puzzles to open the way to the next area. Then it did a total 180 and brought him to that silo place and... he just cuts his own head off, what...?

[@methamphetamememcmeth3422]

​@@shadowjudge921 I'd say for a game made in 10 days that's easily forgiven.

[@googlekonto8444]

The3 Story: Drugs are a hell of a thing.

[@sariah77]

i was definitely reminded of silent hill 4 once you got to the outside at the end, very similar to the water prison area of sh4

[@A_S_Quinn]

"this bit reminds me of Silent Hill 4" goes out and is very much like the prison location, but thinks of Skyrim, lol. It's weird, but not badly made.

[@michellelozano1842]

This was... Different. But for a 10 day creation it was cool. I liked the way it looked. Thanks for the entertainment Chris ♥️

[@bamitslori9750]

So many scissors… The description should be Silent Hill/Clocktower inspired

[@JunkyardGod]

I immediately thought of Clock Tower too as soon as I saw shears in the title.

[@TheShadowCookie]

Always a pleasure to behold a game which reminds me of my own basement. Well, I cannot say that I disliked this one. Certainly falls into the surreal category; however, it is unique and bizarre enough to not just come across as cheaply made jank. Something about these indie games with blocky graphics and unexplained tasks (chopping little dudes for no reason) is kind of endearing to me, and thus I cannot really complain. Funnily, this one reminded me a little of "Toiletrooms" - some strange exploration followed by a sudden chase. Really makes you think when a random scissor-wielding monster like the one in this game is a scarier killer than the silly Scissorwalker in "NightCry" (what a travesty that game was). And bloody hell, that final bit truly was more intense than such a weird indie game has any right to be - good job. It is a little thing, but I like how the monster starts running. Just a little something to keep you on your toes, considering most enemies in indie horror cannot even check lockers or do anything interesting. The ending does make me wanna see more of this world, a shame it did not last longer.

[@isaiasjuarez9041]

Hell yeah cool game!! Let's go CJU!!! 💯💪

[@user-ef5lk3vk2b]

First comment, big fan never miss any of your videos #foreverCJUfan

[@angelareynolds4373]

Great video!

[@lokicooper4690]

This went from odd to Silent Hill-ish weird to a segment from Myst. All for a confusing and unsatisfying ending. It was fun to watch you run through this game, but the ending leaves one wanting. Thanks anyway, Chris.

[@CavalierLiberty]

Fist it in? Lol! I'm using that one

[@TheMasterwitcher]

I'd rather not share abnormalities, thanks Chris :D

[@amca68]

No don't fist it in 😂 It'll budge.

[@w8m4n]

Sweet!

[@PhrancoisLapsus]

20:39 holy speed in the name of fuck

[@britishraptor7703]

When Chris was like 'And if you would like to shear abnormalities...', i had no idea how literal that was going to be. Also, if MC designed that strange, convoluted, windowless house, he deserved the ending for his crimes against architecture.

[@TheKevphil]

I could NEVER have found my way around this game space! Not super-attractive, but at least no giant fuzzy pixels.

Hello Chris, love your channel, may i know your comp spec?

[@edwardp5748]

its random shapes as monsters, its something large kind of chasing you, its red rooms and fences, thus its: generic horror game type D (the story free variety) haha

omg! so trippy

the weirdest games u paly cj lol like really skin i think all games should give u some sort of light lol or put lights thru the game in all levels lol

[@Nebulous_Neuhaus]

24:58 omg he played Elden Ring!

[@ValosiTiamata]

The moment I saw that title I was thinking Clocktower. Indeed, this feels very much like a sort of Clocktower meets Silent Hill. I almost wonder if this could work as a sort of "from the monster's perspective" prequel/alternate take on Clocktower itself...

[@Shaostalker]

Ah just in time for tea! thank you CJU! fist eh? LMAO

[@TheIMMORTALKAHNHD]

oh man this one sucked. Started off with promise but ended up falling into the "chasing, stalking, enemy in dingy maze environment that all looks indistinguishable" shtick. When you go from fearing the big horrible creature in the dark to the ring around the Rosie maneuver the games lost its "scary" appeal. The ending was curious as you were not apparently strong enough to over come the entity's pull and succumbed to it but man. Like Chris said...yeah. That was a game.
