The sheer dedication to plagiarism the developer displayed is truly awe inspiring.

He smirks at the camera because every so often when you're staring at him he looks at you and remembers he has some weirdo in the sky controlling him

[@ProffessorYellow]

that actually makes sense...

[@DubberRucks]

A weirdo that has equally no idea what's going on either. 😂

[@Daniel_Richards]

Or he's anticipated our reactions...

[@thefamiliarface903]

Those graphics are insane. This game came out two years after TES4 , and look at the leaps in technology! Truly a monument to the breakneck pace of 2000s' innovation.

[@JCdental]

they straight up stole the interior of a book shop from oblivion

[@modernmobster]

@JC Dental a lot of backgrounds were taken from Painkiller too.

[@guaposneeze]

Those tiny less than quarter-screen FMV windows for character interactions were a good workaround for the limitations of the Sega CD upgrade for the Genesis in the early 1990's. There wasn't enough room/bandwidth/CPU to have high quality full screen video on one CD. Wait, when was this made?

[@polocatfan]

I'm sad we don't get more unhinged games like this these days.

I'm not entirely sure what should frighten me more: - this (surprisingly refreshing) plethora of twisted quirkiness - the fact that Mitch played this LSD nightmare until the very end - the fact that I watched the full video, laughing like a maniac the whole time Sanity is clearly overrated ... 😵‍💫👍

[@MitchManix]

A truly epic comment sir

[@cameronvandygriff7048]

Ya know I was thinking the exact same things

[@thepopemichael]

I played Limbo of the Lost when MandaloreGaming preserved it after playing it. It's 100% worth it just for the ending. It's textbook, so bad it's good.

[@odmcclintic]

I know it’s weird to say considering all the asset theft but: What a truly unique game. Thank you for playing this for us 🙌🏼

[@WhispyWoodz]

That opening scene of him falling in hell was from spawn the movie LOL

[@IbizanHound2]

I can't believe that this game was released between 2007 - 2008! Its the most 90's type of game I 've ever seen!!

[@kryw10]

When y’all said “stolen assets” I was expecting barrels, windows, random textures. But no, it’s a WHOLE BOOKSTORE from Oblivion. 😂😂😂

[@mindlocked898]

I think the most disturbing thing for me is the idea that the horrifying absurdity could leak into real life via the 4th wall breaking… 😱

[@Shamino1]

It was fun 14 years ago to be part of the teams that were going around and finding where all the digital assets had been stolen from. The unique Necromancer Boneshield from Diablo 2 as wall ornaments was one of my first observations. That was a far, far better time on the internet than we have now. 2007 was truly when everything started to go to shit. Thanks, Reddit!

[@modernmobster]

I noticed all the Oblivion and Painkiller assets right away. I know those games like the back of my hand.

[@yoursonisold8743]

Nostalgia addled fool.

[@pain_rain609]

Bless you. Best wishes for your memory and future. Writing it down is the best storage

[@jamesstaggs4160]

2008? Looks like it's from 1998.

[@mellowyello1478]

It started in the 80s, too, iirc. Its a wild rabbithole to dive into

[@SwarfBando]

Bro, you on crack? The devs clearly traveled through time to the year 2077 to steal the heights of the game engines of the far future. In 2077, Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Painkiller were in the public domain which explains all the stolen backgrounds from those games.

[@tylerhorn3712]

The FMV is too good for ps1/N64. Looks a bit like a late ps2 release, focused too much on FMV. Ps3 came in 2006. Ps3 was capable of a lot more... so 2008 release ment for old hardware lines up.

[@IIISWILIII]

It damn sure does!!

[@selfactualizer2099]

Hey James, 1998 games looked worse than this, there wasn't much of a difference between these ten years anyways. You might as well say "2022? Looks like 2019"

[@weckar]

i own a copy of this on disk in box. It's like owning a bootleg copy of the necronomicon.

[@the_ecips9692]

This game goes hand in hand with "Mystery of the druids", including epic outro song. If you ever get your hands on the world's best cover-arted adventure game, play it. You will feel like you felt after this one. Almost, at least. 😀

[@ImDudeRandom90]

I have to be honest, it's one of my biggest pipedreams to see this game get a remake someday. Were it not for all the stolen assets, I feel like this game could've had a genuine cult following.

[@ghastlyghandi4301]

This game is *the definitive way* to summarise what dreams are like, if aliens arrive on earth and ask us what dreams are we should show them this and they’d automatically understand 100%. Edit: this game really is the perfect entertainment experience when your brain is not entirely functioning correctly, it really deserves a modern remake with assets that weren’t completely stolen.

[@Malisa1990]

[@BanzaiBenzai]

The 'falling to hell' animation looks nearly identical to the initial death scene from the Spawn movie from the 90's.

[@ArvelDreth]

That's because it is. It's another stolen asset.

[@leeshamcdowall230]

Love the David Attenborough style narration 😅

[@Elementroar]

Note that even the intro movie of the dude falling through the shaft of fire was plagiarized, from the movie Spawn!

[@djamilggmail]

Nah. Not plagiarized. They just cut and pasted part of Spawn intro.

[@MissFirefly11]

This game is full of it, sad times

[@Leckaine]

@@djamilggmail That falls under plagiarism as well. Also known as straigt up stealing in this case.

[@nifftbatuff676]

In an ideal world this game would be legal and one of the GOATs.

[@DaMoniable]

I just realized something. Im like.. 99% certain that the character model is the very same model for Captain Nathaniel Hawk from Pirates of the Caribbean by Akella (which was released 4 years before this game) EVEN THE CHARACTER MODEL IS STOLEN! And whats even more hilarious is that briggans or whatever this characters name is, was a sea captain thrown into limbo, where as pirates of the caribbean (by akella) was solely made within like 8 months to be in line with the first movie release, which flopped so damn hard that it fell into obscurity. SO MAYBE THIS IS WHERE CAPTAIN HAWK WENT TO AFTER THE GAME FAILED!

[@andash123]

You stumbled upon MandaloreGaming? :P

[@TheMitchellbegeng]

You see, that's where the trouble began. That smile. That damn smile.

[@OmegaViper]

though the asset theft, it seems the devs and voice actors had fun with this lol

[@WobblesandBean]

This is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. There are unfortunately mind-numbing sections of tedium, but the plot and characters are so utterly insane it more than makes up for it 😂

[@igorchtidtah8050]

[@ktk44man]

"illegal and insane" in the thumbnail sounds ridiculously clickbaity, but hilariously it perfectly applies to this game. The best way to sum this game up

"And with the world's most disturbing Pokémon captured..." Oh, you sweet summer child, just never check out Pokédex entries...

[@PoPo-ee2xb]

You HAVE to make this a series! I love it when you find such random games and roast them, respectively of course. You’re humor is epic!

10:52 Briggs has the ultimate "This is fine." face.

[@Seichensi]

1:29 Intro with the "fire tunnel" was stol... "borrowed" from the Spawn movie. Also, you are really newbie if you played this game with subtitles. If you got yourself a physical copy, then it clearly states on the back of the box: "Subtitle feature for handicapped players".

[@rustyshackleford3160]

I can't tell you why I think this, but this game is one of the greatest accomplishments in gaming. Like The Room, it too true effort to make something this....unique
