I love how real the ballet actually looked! They did a great job animating it

Man i been following you for 2 years now, and if it wasn't for you, i wouldn't know about these games because I'm a scardy cat (im still working on finishing the game INSIDE)

[@birichinaxox9937]

Yer same. The stories are amazing but play them myself f no.

[@MidoriGa95]

I feel you! I tried to play Song of Horror before but I couldnt pass ep 3 halfway because it got too eery! So I went to search videos about the game so I'd know the whole story and Gaming Harry really did a well explanation on it so I subbed his channel. Love how he compiles everything in his videos

[@jessicamoniz5956]

I love the little awkward clap at 15:22, like yes she's a horrifying ghost but a performance is a performance.

[@winniewang9501]

I've noticed there's an oversight about the theme of love in this game. There's clearly a stark contrast between how is treated between the couples of Xu You-Yi and Yan Shu-Wen versus the Sarge and the Nurse (Headless Consort). The Sarge loved the Nurse so much that he stayed to help his wife out of her misery, until literally death did them apart (or not), while Yan couldn't get the love that he wanted, despite all the obsession and infatuation that he had over Xu. It is often said that in traditional Chinese/Taiwanese culture, that couples will truly be together to satisfy their "karmic entanglement" with one and another. If you are meant to be with a person, then no matter what you do, you will be with that person. Yan fought hard to be with Xu, but couldn't be with her no matter how hard he tried. The Nurse and Sarge loved each other dearly, so much that even after the Nurse passed, she still reminisce the times when they gave flowers to each other. She remembered it to the point that seeing flowers in her dismembered form will calm her down. The Sarge also made the simple decision to pass facing the Gate of Chaos, knowing that he would be with her forever after his passing. This is really touching :'(

[@lordmiow]

why Ms Tan (the nurse) kill the student earlier? what her name i didn't remember. At the last chapter in B3 floor

[@fiveseven15]

@@lordmiow she killed the student? thought she was killed by the elevator by the demon, trying to save the student

[@animefallenangel]

My anxious brain really appreciates you putting up jumpscare warnings; I love creepy stories but I hate jumpscares as they set off anxiety attacks, so knowing one is coming up helps me so much. I hope there's a third game in this series, the gaming community needs more Asian-centric horror stories, especially ones based outside of Japan.

[@WallNutBreaker524]

What makes it worse is you know it's coming but don't know at what time.

[@TheBBDodo]

Lmao I only realized halfway through the video that this is referencing the real-life Wen Hua University in Taipei, just with a character change. They do have a Da Ren Building, and the longstanding rumor passed through the student population is that its haunted. And again, the rumors about the eight trigram designs of the buildings, etc are also decently well-known in gossip. How do I know this? My brother studied there. He hasn't seen a single ghost during his 4 years there (which clearly means he hasn't been trying hard enough). He attributes the ghost stories to the fact that the university is high up in the mountains far away from downtown Taipei and the cold mountain air just makes things foggy and eerie all the time.

[@tVt2000]

That’s really cool, but it sounds like your brother has a major skill deficit

[@mooniera2810]

I LOVE the Mad Ballerina! I actually have a soft spot for ballerina themed characters and her dancing was also wonderful!

[@ethanwalters7797]

The jumpscare warnings are an absolute blessing by the way😂 please keep them going👍

[@zveldarkus125]

There's actually a movie together with this game titled "The Bridge Curse: Ritual" which acts as a sequel for the first film. They don't run the same story with this game but the same horror elements are still there.

[@akosicvy]

i was gonna mention it as well because the movie is on netflix rn

[@NoraNoita]

wait isn't the Elevator video, that was like a viral mystery from america several years ago, it circles back on TV every now and again.

[@BoofingPasta]

elisa lam cecil hotel. Yes that elevator scene in the game was a depiction of this specific incident. Surprised you are the only person who saw the reference lol.

[@chunellemariavictoriaespan8752]

A lot did... We just got beaten to it...

[@thesillygoose2]

​@@BoofingPastaomg... I thought about that case the first time I saw the scene but didn't think much of it after that that is a crazy reference I done forgot what documentary or video I watched that talked about it I think it might have been an episode of a tv show but yeah that case is chilling to say the least 🥶

[@sirei01]

Thanks for the jumpscare warnings! You don't know how often I had to stop watching lore videos because they didn't add those. So thank you very much for those!

Honey wake up, the guy who is always calling his Honey whenever Harry drops a new video has dropped!

[@melliethemortician]

I just watched a playthrough of this game and didnt expect you to cover it so soon. Its one of my faves simply bc its not just horror 24/7 but its also funny and alot of the dialogue sounds like stuff real people my age say and do. Like having one character run away anytime a ghost is mentioned instead of wanting to stay and fight, having a couple argue so much that they tell the ghost to leave them alone bc of it etc. Its an alla round fun game and doesnt have too many jumpscares(bc some games overload you with them which makes it less scary). I recommend the first game to people all the time.

[@Sophisticated_Lobster]

Great video as always, I really appreaciated the Jumpscare warnings. I like watching these videos before going to sleep as I enjoy the stories but getting jumpscared always wakes me up again...

[@talapines7543]

I love how Richie swears in English 😭

[@foxmind2490]

I personally am not into horror or survival horror games, but your channel has given me deep new respect for them. Keep up the wonderful videos Harry!

[@marlaynas1519]

Not to be creepy, but I could listen to your voice all day ❤❤❤

[@jennatandy6272]

[@erinlpalmer8410]

Yay Harry! Another fantastic explained video ❤☺️

[@matthewmelange]

I'm so glad to finally finish watching this video after watching bits & pieces of it for the last week.

[@danceuprising4812]

The mountain is a lay line that's separates the physical from the esoteric but are also the same like as above so below two sides of the same coin

[@IraserH]

Damn I watched a KZbinr play this game and I was confused because the voice acting was entirety in English there and it did sound very odd and eccentric. I'm glad watching your explanation that it's actually in Taiwanese, and now it makes more sense to me.

[@KoishiChan92]

The original Taiwanese voice acting is so much better to my ears as someone that speaks mandarin, the english dub wasn't bad but the voice actors (except A-Hai's) could'nt pronounce any of the names properly and it was so annoying.

[@h.w.4482]

I mean in any other circumstance you can't really expect random people to know how to speak taiwanese, but they made an official translation so they should've had some kind of translator helping them during recording

[@lunaticmjp4939]

Hey gamin Harry! Just wanted to say I love your videos and you’re definitely one of my favorite KZbinrs! I actually went through my last month of University by watching your whole “Lore and Order” playlist on your channel over the past month and finally caught up to the newest one haha! Just wanted to give ya some love and appreciation for all the effort you put in to making these videos (and playing the real scary games so we don’t have to😎🤣) If you ever need some future ideas of games I thought I’d give a couple that I thought could work well for this series seeing that they’re either horror or thriller, or they have great stories/lore in them! 1. You have done RE 2-8 so obviously I recommend 0 and 1!🤷🏼‍♂️😎 I’ve never had access to 0 so it’d be interesting to see 2. You seem to really love the story interactive games like until Dawn so I’d recommend “Heavy Rain”! I really loved the game and it’s a pretty good intense story! 3. A great Indy horror game that I’d recommend is “among the sleep” you play as a 2 or 3 year old baby and have to survive some scary things! It was pretty fun and pretty intense since you can’t really run since you are a baby🤷🏼‍♂️😂 4. Another great Indy title I loved was “The Fall” where you play as a AI named ARID who must save the human inside their suit who is in critical condition. It was a really good story and has a sequel title👌🏻 5. Then lastly one of my favorite games “Life is Strange” (and the DLC Before the Storm). It plays like Until Dawn where it’s a interactive story and while it’s not scary or horror it is such a rich great story and very intense and brutal at times! Anyways those were just some ideas I had if you ever need some😎 Thanks again for everything!😁

[@Instaqixx]

great video harry gaming🤩💯Also when i saw the part with the elevator it kind of reminds me of the Elisa Lam case.

[@Lokimamabear]

its a direct reference with her movements. Like deadringer from what I recall of the footage...

[@keysdamien]

You give me hope

[@benjoman8252]

I think this game benefits from not being an adaptation of a film, it makes the game feel more like a 'game' instead of a walking simulator

[@justiceknox1073]

Isn’t this inspired by an actual event? Or at least the elevator scene?

[@cincy4life13]

Yeah Elisa Lam.

[@donaldcampbell9219]

Yes, I believe it is

[@NovaGirl8]

Yup

[@BoofingPasta]

elisa lam cecil hotel

[@CaptainTingo]

Pretty sure it's based on a real university in the mountains as well :) pictures you find in the game look almost the same as the main gate of the real university

[@skytrigger]

Wooo! Happy to listen to another story time again \o/

[@user-hl2nw5sm2n]

My absolute favourite part is the ballerina. It was just so chilling, seeing her dance on stage and when she's dancing towards you.

[@amamariaz5621]

The ballerina part was really well made.

[@noobs4lyfe]

Thanks for the jump scare warnings aha!

[@subhadarshikar]

I have doubts, plz answer these: 1. How did Ting Ting end up in Wen Hua? Why was she there in elevator? Why did that 2000 case happened? 2. Who killed Ting Ting? Who was that ghost in the elevator? Was it the neckless consort or the dark one? Why did it killed her? 3. How the Architect became the Dark One? How did he die? And why did he made the blueprint that way? (I remember it was written due to some financial disputes between him and the head, if it's true then why did the head want his daughter to marry the architect?) Why did the Architect want to trap the souls ? Did he made all of this to trap the soul of the girl he wanted to marry? 4. Who was that baby doll in 1st game Richie played? how did she end up their? 5. How did the nurse became evil? Why at times Sarge became evil and attacked Sue Lian and Doc but saved A Hai? How did the Sarge die? Sue Lian met the ghost of the sarge in te beginning right? 6. From where did the Ballerina dancer came from? How is she connected to Wen Hua and the dark one? I guess this much for now 😅

[@jordanraymond7513]

2. I suppose it's the dark one 3. Yan Shu Wen, the murderous psychopath killer as well as the architect responsible for the Wen Hua university building, he basically did a demonic ritual that connect himself to the evil spirit gate 6. The ballerina comes from this one eager girl who wanted to win too on a dancing competition, to be the best side by side with another ballet girl dancer from what I know, so she calls for the dark one, to grant her a victorious wish to win that competition, but sadly, she tripped and one of her eyes got blinded by this one sharp small metal nail that is used to keep a wooden plank ground steady

[@subhadarshikar]

@@jordanraymond7513 Thanks for the answers. ❤️ I wanted to know where those dancers came from actually....I mean not the Ballerina ghost but the actual girls....how are they related to wen hua and dark one? And if you didn't notice Ballerina didn't trip actually....she was actually pulled by the dark one to fall...you will see a hand coming from stage and pulling the leg.....as he wanted her soul and he knew she gonna do something bad after that. Thanks again.

[@jordanraymond7513]

@@subhadarshikar the dancers are just regular girls trying to be the best ballerina they can be as well through training from what I know, but some of them or maybe all of them, bullied the ghost ballerina way before she becomes a mad ghost
