The Evil Within: Confessed Scaredy Cat vs Horrible Monster Man - ELLEN'S FEAR ACADEMY

Welcome back to Ellen's Fear Academy! At the end of October on Outside Xtra and Outside Xbox, we celebrate Halloween with spooky streams and call it Hallowstream! Sadly Ellen doesn't do well with scary games, but she wants to be brave enough to properly join in this year. So, team OX are here to coach her through some spooky games as preparation! This week, Jane helps Ellen deal with The Evil Within!

Ways to help Ellen cope with horror: Luke- reassuring guidance Mike- helpful advice Jane- sassing the scary monsters

[@elementcuatro584]

Andy- "Yeah, no, go in there, it's fine!" *giggles evilly*

[@MrIcePho3nix]

More like: Luke- coyly pretending like he didn't know what's next

[@Medaumplay3]

Jane: 'casually saying' "Oh man, you hate to see it" Ellen: *terrified sobbing*

[@oxfanblink4115]

Yeah Jane said that but noticed the sparkle in her eyes she gets when she enjoys the torture of one of the others 😂🤣😅🤣😂🤣

Love these two gals! Love how each person in the observation booth brings a whole new vibe. Luke was supportive, Mike was giving advice while also laughing at Ellen’s misery, and Jane is just the friend who loves drama and is completely chilled while you get murdered lol

[@oxfanblink4115]

[@broccoli896]

It's great to see Ellen and Jane together, I feel like it's a pairing we don't get very often!

[@vanillanoxfleuret]

Jane's energy this stream was perfection, I loved her casual chatting when Ellen was nervous, it was a very fun combination

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

So Jane is only scared with Andy around then.

[@fixedG]

I love that Luke and Mike were encouraging and Jane's like "WELP, get on up the ladder. There's probably a new scary chase sequence up there."

[@Sol-mr1lv]

Jane is having the time of her life, just quipping away while Ellen is scared

[@nikhilpolekar8325]

@Michael Williams not at all. Why would you say so?

[@VulpesObscura]

@Michael Williams it's not annoying, it's exactly like two friends hanging out over a game. Reminds me of some of my best gaming memories with a friend on the couch. If you're not enjoying yourself, this website has many other videos you may find more to your taste, and hopefully you won't feel compelled to whine in the comments section of those.

It's a problem when you're constantly dragging victims into your corpse chute and are very clumsy.

[@LamasLeathercrafts]

Jane’s amazement at window cleaning sponges made me laugh more than it should’ve. 😂

[@Sweenaldo85]

I think out of all the possible Oxboxtra combinations or duos....Ellen and Jane is my favourite.

[@oxfanblink4115]

Same especially with how Jane is her to sit back and enjoy it instead of actually trying to help Ellen not die 😂🤣😂🤣

[@thegreatpineapple4425]

After watching Ellen's solo streams I realized that I enjoyed her content exponentially more when paired up with someone else. Don't get me wrong, Ellen is tremendous. But her reserved style of solo play lacks the pizzazz of an Andy or a Luke stream. Conversely, Ellen has a hidden, fun multiplier that is activated when she's paired up. All my favorite combos feature her. Mellen, Lellen, Allen, etc. Mike on the other hand is brilliant, solo or paired.

[@oxfanblink4115]

as much as i love her being a hostess too she is a bit boring on her own compared to with at least one of the others

[@Sweenaldo85]

I like Ellen as a host on her own too, I very much vibe with her style. But Jane and Ellen just have such a cool little dynamic between them, so love that pairing too!

[@Zenshu1]

I want to see Ellen and Andy and Luke and Jane play Phasmophobia together.

[@oxfanblink4115]

Wonder if it’ll be the first game to actually break Jane if she’s the subject for a change or one of them to actually play it 🤔 It’ll be payback for Ellen if she’s the main little scientist instead of Jane👩‍🔬

Ok, Jane is the most supportive and funniest "Observer" yet! I just love their interactions with each other! P.S. We need more Popcorn-Jane in future streams! XD

[@Cinetyk]

Popcorn-Jane is so devilishly witty and funny she complements scared-Ellen very well by making her laugh and easing the tension. "Inoculating Ellen" from the fear, indeed. Great duo for this kind of video/stream. Great job you two :)

That explosion after 1:32:10 was worth watching Elen panic run past zombles at the end of chapter two

Ellen: ಥ_ಥ Jane: OwO

[@mnArqal93]

Don't worry Ellen, you can get your revenge by murdering them all in Among Us. Ellen handled this better than the other two, especially once the zombies appeared. So that was nice to see. But oh dear, Dead Space next week. Each person brings something new to these streams with Ellen, which I absolutely love.

[@MrMBinder]

I love these streams. The "observers" are very supportive while having a grand old time. @1:28:07 Good thing he saved that bullet for the cutscene. How can you not just light the zombies on fire with all the burning stuff on the ground? Can you even re-light your torch with those fires?

Ellen's encounter with the infected Connelly couldn't be more different than by first one. I was so spooked, I shot once wildly, panicked, and then melee'd him until my heart chilled out.

Same along with Andy. So was pleased when Jane returned for Poppy Playtime for the penultimate session of last year 😃 Even if she wasn’t as brilliantly evil as during this one. She was still brilliantly funny though especially with her twisted very funny joke in response to mommy’s threat and not hiding she found Ellen’s face funny too when she realized PJ was going to eat her face again 😂🤣😂🤣

@@bleh329 Funnily enough, darkness and playing alone don't affect me that much. It's the dread of starting a horror game. I've heard good things about it from my mates as well. I prefer atmospheric horror to cheap jump scares.

[@windermere_peaks]

@@thegreatpineapple4425 There's not many jumpscares, at least not intentional ones. They're mostly due to game mechanics, like when that one zombie was not actually dead for good and it grabbed you as you walked by. Its very atmospheric though. You definitely feel trapped and alone for most of it.

[@redevolution686]

I remember playing this first part of the game, after going through the meat grinder I found I couldn't open the door to leave. So, I actually crawled back into the vat of blood thinking I had missed something. We thankyou for the spookenings this Halloween, keep up the awesome videos!

[@johnburnham7713]

Missed this live thanks to a 9 hour Zoom call. It did remind me of a few old videos where Jane explained she had an interesting relationship with the horror genre. I'd love to see various of the OX crew discuss a few different genres and what they think about them in general (so not only games but movies, books etc. as well). Jane could elaborate on horror, Andy and Mike could be salty about Tolkien in a fantasy genre discussion and so on. Anyway, thanks for yet another fun Fear Academy.

[@madalice5134]

I'm finally catching up on the Hallowstreams and I love Ellen playing one of my all time favorite games. Can't wait to see her reactions. This makes me miss my boi Ruvik so I might play a bit of Evil Within again now. EDIT: Just to add a couple of tips for anyone who reads this and wants to play TEW. Increasing stamina is paramount, get that over health. Search for first aid boxes(different from the syringes) because they regain your full health and give you a permanent increase to your health when you use one. Also in the save room, look in the cells and the main room to get extra bits of story and to collect newspaper and missing person posters and put in the world keep your eyes peeled for angel statues to break for keys to goodies in the morgue cabinets in your save room. I've played this game a lot, possibly too much. 😂😁

[@matwetton]

any plans to make Ellen play outlast? im sure that would be informative..for research...definately not torturing a colleague for youtube hits ;)

Who knows maybe this fear academy (2023) ;) Would love if Andy returns to ‘help’ 😈

[@ailsalillywhite2018]

I love this game. I almost always only hear people talk about it in the context of it's definitely superior sequel, but honestly, I thought this was a real good time too. Good luck, Ellen.

[@Executioner02]

The sequel is no where near superior. The story is worse, the horror atmosphere is basically gone, and it plays more of like an action game than a survival horror

[@matthewnanney2065]

I've heard no one say the sequel is better, until now

[@SuperMunkeh]

The sight of Ellen terrified while Jane laughs and eats popcorn is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time - 5* content!

I love how ready for this Jane is. Popcorn, quips, it's perfect. Poor Ellen. Keep plotting that revenge.

[@moogamooga2100]

The sassy way Jane scolds Sebastian 😂

[@oxfanblink4115]

😂 The way she is with Sebastian and characters that deserve a similar scolding to her is a main reason I’d love to be her little brother 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 Along with her being on brand with enjoying her popcorn 😆 Instead of intentionally trying to help more than just distracting Ellen by making her laugh 😂

[@Cooperma426]

At first Luke was a touch callous, but we know he's a softy at heart so it can be forgiven. Next Mike was entirely unhelpful, but he does not know the meaning of fear, so that is to be expected. He did at least commiserate with Ellen (as Isolation is indeed one of the most terrifying games there is). And then there was Jane, gleefully eating snacks while Ellen de-evolved a little. X'''D On a related note, I REALLY want to watch bad horror movies with Jane. I think she an I are similarly broken. If I don't break out in uncontrollable laughter at least 3 times during a horror movie, it has failed.

[@gremlin4304]

Ellen's setting up a full-on streaming workstation, nice. High quality audio is always highly appreciated! EDIT: Ellen has got some kind of auto-adjustment on her mic that's messing with her volume. It could be the noise gate but my guess is it's something to do with either windows 10 mic settings or OBS (or whichever other capture software you use). You can prevent applications from automatically adjusting mic settings either through the Windows 10 sound menu in the control panel or through the applications' options themselves. Could just be the mic drivers too, doesn't hurt to re-install them.

[@betteryou7hanme]

At 21:55 Jane seriously made me laugh so hard. 😂

[@coyoteartist]

Can't be blood, it wouldn't stay that red. Also I'm going to say what is terrifying the most so far in this, is that the upgrade system is an electric chair which due to growing up in Florida who still used it then, terrifies me to no end.

[@youtube-kit9450]

the most terrifying part of TEW is that Sebastian cannot run for longer than 3 seconds without getting out of breath for like 10.

[@oxfanblink4115]

Well that’s debatable since she playfully tried to up Ellen’s stress with her joke about having to defend herself from waves of enemies before laughing and nomming on a piece of popcorn 🍿 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Which was almost as brilliantly evil as Andy teasing with the lies Slender could still be in the house, you’ve gotta mash A to escape him and the horrible monster baby thing in resi village can hear you through your controller. Still can’t decide which is better due to how funny the lies were and Ellen’s panicked face due to actually believing him briefly 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@lunarfox66]

This is making me wanting to play Evil Within again

[@Rakshiir]

I loved both games. They've been some fresh air in the survival horror genre that felt rather dry for some time, even though they didn't invent the wheel or anything. But seeing how scared Ellen was at the beginning, I am not sure how she would react to the parts with Laura... did she play the parts with the Ghostlady in Evil Within 2? Those optional levels where also rather scary I think. I am also looking forward to Phasmaphobia, that game would propably break Ellen. I am not as scared but that game is tense in my opinion... watching is fine, but playing... damn...

[@MrSamsonite23]

You know, I am under the impression that watching people stream games became popular through watching people scream at scary games. To me, it appears that a lot of Tubers act scared for this reason. Ellan... is scared. Jane... is scared but being obstreperous! This is great!

[@Tinyvalkyrie410]

Man this is why I personally find games where you either can’t die or at least where it is very difficult to die to be much more frightening. As soon as I have died just once and have to replay a section, it completely stops being scary and is just annoying. Once you have died and replayed a section twice (or a half dozen times in this case) all tension has completely left the game. I always play games like this on easy, because honestly it’s scarier that way. Which is dumb. For the same reason I think horror games should never be more than 4 hrs. PT and Amnesia do a great job with avoiding this as a problem. In fact, I found Firewatch, Gone Home and Ethan Carter scarier than the Evil Within. Maybe when AI directors become more sophisticated this won’t be an issue, but for now, I will play this stuff on easy mode.
