This was smashing but you didn't mention that from going to the families, he got them to agree to a ghost marriage for chen and her fiance which was what brought them peace.

[@GamingHarryYT]

Darn it. Knew I forgot something 😂

[@Ziialan]

Ohh! Now i see why they got their peace!

[@vexmyth0clast]

I don’t play most of these games but I always watch your story breakdowns. You do an excellent job in summarizing and interpreting the game to us. Thanks for all of the amazing videos you make it’s super entertaining to listen to when I’m at work bored af.

Drop for me please

[@jordan8636]

Vex, you're great 😌

[@jspencer5769]

The unofficial disclaimer starting with “I’m British” had me laughing out loud at work. Love this Lore series!

[@visassess8607]

That's the scariest part

[@alperulusoy423]

Needs a jumpscare warning

[@UlfTheRagnarsson]

Thank you for the jumpscare warning Harry! Details matter ✨️

glad I'm not the first one to comment a thank you for this; I would have hot chocolate all over myself without it!

[@pissmyasslynch5325]

@@badgirls1954 yum yum hot chocolate 🤣🤣🤣

[@leostellations4914]

While the story was a bit convoluted, not helped by the not so stellar translation, to me this is one rare horror game that instead of losing steam and falling of as we reaches the ending, it peaks the closer to the end we get. The last section was genuinely fun to play. That and the character models felt really animated and genuine too, same with the voice acting

[@chinaman1]

Taiwanese voice actors are great. Old Hong Kong movies that were dubbed from cantonese into Mandarin were almost always done in Taiwan. But that was in the past. Nowadays its done in China of course. But I'm glad the Taiwanese voice actors are still this good.

[@cheshiremare]

Harry : “I’m British and Taiwanese is complicated” Harry, i’m half chinese and even i can’t pronounce their name properly 🤣 i had to ask my mom for it and i got scolded for not knowing how

[@burntgyoza]

Bro, I studied chinese language, and after that I prefer to use the standart version rather than the “mixed with the regional dialect” one Now my parents scold me because we didnt understand each other The struggle is real 😂

[@williamchen7796]

Yes actually this is completely understandable since some of the Chinese is also mixed with Hokkien and some native slang. It would be hard for Chinese speakers not from Taiwan to understand.

[@kozuamee]

I am chinese and I cant even form a logical sentence

[@luciagianquitto4010]

He did

The guy dropped his charm. It happened so fast that harry didnt saw it

[@jayw3688]

Im legitimately addicted to this Lore and order series for a few reasons. I want to play the sequels to games I havent played in a long time and I usually have to play the first game again to remember the story, but since finding your channel, you give ample story telling experience that helps me remember.

[@lolasaysyes]

One suggestion I have for future games, especially when names are confusing or difficult to pronounce-could you add a brief intro for each character where we can see their names on screen, and any alternate names (it goes by super quickly in the current video)? I had a super hard time following the names and characters on this one. Thanks!

[@chrisb4131]

No success would have been possible without that ever helpful possessed vending machine keeping the students strength up.

[@TheKaiser444]

@16:00 His green talisman fell in the toilet. That is why Tien Ming did this.

[@HeartSetG]

HsinChao is referred to as “Xuejie” which is roughly translated to ‘school big sister’ which I believe is to refer her as a senior in school.

[@williamchen7796]

Yes this term is used exclusively for a female senior in school.

[@X-SPONGED]

Us Chinese love abbreviations. It's a mixture of Xue Xi (Student) and Jie Jie (Big Sister). Thus Xue Jie means Big Sister in student terms.

[@vinnyl264]

@@williamchen7796 not senior. In Taiwan if you are in a higher grade you are a xuejie

[@vickylin511]

Taiwanese here, kudos to you for making an effort to pronounce all those Chinese names every time haha 🙌

[@DarthChimera]

Every time these lore breakdowns happen I end up wondering "Why this ghost?" Why always the ghost that eats your face and skips rope with your intestines?

[@caliavang9811]

thank you for the jumpscare warning I really hate when they didnt alert you and just surprise you like that

[@tashibalampkin8555]

2:11 "Now we before we start, I'm British." I don't know why but that got me off guard and just made me laughing up a storm. 🤣

[@briarshard2871]

The Qixing sword is pronounced as chee sing which literally means seven stars. It is named after the big dipper constellation which has seven stars. It is referenced often in reality in taoist practices for mystical and esoteric practices

[@madeniquevanwyk]

It's probably easy to say it now, but I'm really appalled by HsinChiao offering to give the ghost 5 lives in order to spare her own. I mean, if that's what it took I would honestly just have chosen death at that point, bc that's horrendous. Also she's into the younger gents, maybe, bc Decyuan (so sorry if I butcher the spellings) is like a 2nd year student?? And she's postgrad? Idk I don't like her at all, even before all the possession stuff, and how did she get it over her heart to sacrifice LinEn?? I was really impacted by LinEn's death, the playthrough I watched the guy kept assuming that she's not really dead and I was just like ... 😭 No it's over for her! Despite her love of pranks she seemed really sweet! Ahah okay rant over now

[@b1_nkK.]

Well there will be people who will do anything for their success/extention of their life, even if it mean to kill someone

[@vinnyl264]

It’s always easy to say you wouldn’t do something, but when you are about to die, no one really knows what they would do until it happens.

[@subhadarshikar]

Did you watch Isym too? 😂 He also kept hope for LinEn

[@bearwoolsey9949]

The attention to atmospheric and material/prop detail is this game is simply mind blowing

[@nt9556]

this story was very convoluted. nice to have someone break it down

[@shnsnto]

i like ghost stories but im too scared to play games like these thus i really appreciate your story telling and lore explanation at the end of each stories. i am fond of backstories and you deliver them intuitively and wonderfully. ❤❤❤

[@heisejianmo]

Tian Ming stuck his hand into the toilet bowl because his protective charm around his neck happened to drop into the bowl.

[@heathermcauley6764]

Most channels I'm happy to wait for a video for a week, but your channel is one of the few I immediatly watch the full thing and i'm itching for another! You explain everything so well, have good takes and concede when you might be wrong, it's refreshing! Keep these up man, already looking forward to the next haha!

I do not have anything to say, I just comment and like to support. Your channel really comforting to watch while eating without addictive elements. Hooked, but in a good way😄

[@fernandoborges1736]

I'm happy I found your channel, I was not keen on researching or playing the game but I wanted to understand the full story

“The plot explanation is going to be quite long?” What’s the problem with that? I like your videos and when I saw it was almost 30 minutes, I audibly said “Hell yeah!”

I appreciate that ur PUTTING IN THE DAMN WORK omg I see uploads every 2 weeks when these stories are pretty long is amazing. I just need u to know again BRO ur POWERRR!! ✨️✨️ Keep on being amazing thanks for the lore!! :D

[@whiteboyramen]

I really love the Lore and Order series. It makes me so pumped when a new one comes out.

[@Lumiria]

Glad you did this one. While I thought I understood the story, it's always nice to get confirmation. As always your lore and order vids are well done with clear summaries and explanations.

[@Kantares71830]

Thank god for those jumpscare warnings.

[@AlessaNitara]

Thank you once again for this wonderful Lore&Order video. I really got addicted to those. As it seems to be one of the most scary parts 😅 of the game: At 16:02 he lost his talisman and that's why he does the James Sunderland move.

[@Kiss_My_Aspergers]

Reminder that the number four is Southeast-Asia's version of the number 13. This is because both the word for "four" and the word for "death" are pronounced the same: Shi.

[@donaldcampbell9219]

This was fantastic, thanks for all your hard work.

[@Chaos0f7ife]

Another amazing video! Thanks for explaining this very confusing game Harry! Can't wait till your next one!

[@bryan08bulldog214]

Not sure if this is because you saw my comments, but thanks for doing this video. I watched the gameplay for this game, and it was confusing but captivating.

[@LWolf94]

I know I might sound like a wuss but seriously, thank you for the "Jump scare" warnings.

[@athenat8971]

hey gaming harry, really love all your videos :D the plot is really neatly summarised and presented clearly, i appreciate all your effort in your videos :'' that said, i would like to clarify naming conventions and address in chinese culture. for anglicised chinese names (these seem to be the manner in which hongkong / taiwanese people anglicise their names), the name is presented as [first name, usually two characters] and [last name, usually single character as double-character chinese surnames are rare]. in chinese culture, people usually refer to close friends by "a" + the second character of their first name, e.g. a chiao (hsin CHIAO chao, where hsin chiao is her first name and CHAO is her surname). classmates may refer to one another with their full given names (hsinchiao). however, strangers are usually referred to by their surnames, e.g. calling hsinchiao chao by "chao" as opposed to 'chiao', and calling decyuan ji by "ji" and not "cyuan". i think it might help chinese speakers to stick to one form of address , where the characters are referred to with their entire given name (hsinchiao), or JUST the second character of their first name, or their surname only. that said, i really really appreciate the effort you put into trying to pronounce the words correctly :D you might notice that chinese names might not be anglicised similarly due to regional differences, so i hope this might help for future videos :D the 'h' sound in hsin (for hsin chiao) is largely redundant, so hsin would just be pronounced sin/xin (spelled in hanyv pinyin, the phonetic spelling of standard chinese) , while chiao is tricky as the 'ch' sound serves to substitute q, so chiao would actually be qiao in hanyv -- quite similar to how 'c' in 'cyuan' serves to substitute 'q' in decyuan, so his name would look like dequan to standard chinese speakers. i understand that chinese naming conventions and formatting are usually implicit linguistic conventions (and really appreciate the effort for accuracy), so i understand the confusion and the inconsistency (calling hsinchiao 'chiao' but Ji by his surname and not his given name), but i hope this would help for future videos featuring chinese/east asian characters! either way, chinese is a really complex language to pronounce as its phonetics have a small overlap with english, so it might be good to put up a community poll of some kind to seek feedback for pronunciation just to double check :D . again, i really understand the constraints of time, and i continually appreciate your efforts in constantly delivering quality content.

[@athenat8971]

either way, really don't want to come off nitpicky :'' just wanted to shed awareness on chinese conventions of address, because it's a tad bit jarring as a chinese speaker to hear an inconsistent address HAHA

[@madeniquevanwyk]

Thanks so much for this explanation! Makes a lot of sense, and it helped me a lot too, bc I was confused as to why he was calling him Ji 😂😅

[@lolasaysyes]

Thanks for this! I also wanted to post suggesting to stick to surnames (easier to pronounce) or first names. I struggle with Chinese names and mixing up first names, last names, and using just one portion of the first name made it even harder for me to follow the characters. But definitely appreciate the effort on Harry’s part on pronunciation for sure!

[@marianneguevara8279]

Another game where the story left me a little lost! Thank you Harry

[@karlongleung8662]

Great work. I really hope you do one on the second Bridge curse game that just released. It's set in the rival school, so that horror story paper at the beginning was actually foreshadowing! This might also gives us a hint onto where the third game will take place as well!

Love the video, it was incredibly nice of a breakdown, as someone who watched the movie myself. I had struggled a bit to understand and piece the movie together but your video helped a lot in understanding it more Also, regarding the Xue Shi honorific, in Chinese, it's more so a title than honorific, akin to Senpai for the Japanese, as Xue Shi means Senior

[@Rosfuture]

thank you so much for the warnings

Great explanation video! Forgot to sub when I found you a month ago but I'm here now!

[@Cold_Zero_The_Wise]

[@phoenixwolf3493]

I didn't know this got a game! I remember watching the movie and liking it

[@ashesatcan]

學姊 (Xue Zi) is a title for a female student who is more senior than you. It's basically the female version of "Senpai" from Japanese if you remember it from Yandere Simulator, a game about the obsession over a senior male student. In Asian culture, it's important to call them by the title rather than their name to show respect as they're more senior than you.

[@justinfriday4516]

I can just eat these video up. Yumyumyum love to see this in my sub feed

[@aveasatru9815]

Love your content

[@CaptainTingo]

I was going to watch this video, decided to play the game first, and came back for the explanation!

[@COZYTW]

16:02 Tien-Ming stuck his hand in there because his talisman dropped in. I don't know why that was not noticed or understood, but he definitely said "My talisman!" about 3-4 seconds before trying to reach into the toilet bowl.

[@Cat-uo4vw]

Oh, is this game based on the Taiwanese movie of a similar name? I remember watching the movie on Netflix years ago but the ending is different. In the movie when the ghost catches up to HsinChiao the movie ends with her not completing the ritual. She’s trapped repeating the ritual over and over again with another set of students. She was cursed to do so forever until the exorcism ritual is eventually completed.

[@cartooncritique6625]

So I guess this game is either meant to be a sequel to the movie or an alternate version with a happy ending.

[@Cat-uo4vw]

@@cartooncritique6625 Quite possibly. It’s been years since I watched it so the ending could have been happy like the game but it could have just ended like that since some Asian horror films ends on unhappy/unsatisfying scenes.

[@DuelaDent52]

Yeah, all the characters are the same as well. Judging by Harry’s explanation, the movie is what actually happened whereas this is actually a limbo for the ghost girl’s victims. There was a mid-credits teaser of the dude wanting to break the cycle, I guess this fits that (though I wonder what role the reporter lady would have played, maybe tracking down the ghost girl and her boyfriend’s families?).
