Thats an issue as the viewer, we literally don’t know these people so it kinda ruins when Caz shows to much distress while you immediately forget who the persons name is once theyre done screaming over the phones with how linear the game is and it lacks any replayability. It would’ve been nice to have started the game a day earlier and actually got to know everyone and understand the layout of the rig so the experience of everything being changed is more jarring

[@NiCoNiCoNiCola]

​@@chaosinsurgency6636 yup, that's a thing that plagues the entire genre. Roy and maybe Finlay are the closest to somewhat developed characters. Brodie doesn't even give an explanation of what happened to Raffs, how and when did he go from place to place so quickly, how did he fail to get to the chopper, how did people go around in groups and etc.

[@SSD_Penumbra]

What's wild is that Rennick realistically exists, especially on rigs. My late grandfather worked on an oil rig in the north sea and he'd always tell me stories about people like Rennick. When the Piper Alpha exploded, a lot of company men refused to cosign on the deaths because it "cost too much".

[@dbz9393]

Reminds me of deepwater horizon, the corporate fatcats just ignore all the safety officers warnings and drill which causes so many deaths.

[@Literally_a_Moth]

I think this game is not just a representation of the real world but a metaphor it. Rennick is likely only trying to make a living just as everyone else, though at the expense of others; his job is to increase profits and that mindset might be what made him so bitter. The game itself is a metaphor for capitalism. The oil company exploiting its workers and environment leads to the collapse of the rig itself. The monster will destroy the rig as well as humanity if it isn’t destroyed. That’s why Caz killing the monster was a perfect ending. The lesson of the story is so obvious and clues are mentioned so many times I’m surprised no one has said anything. There’s so much more to the story but that would take an entire essay, so well done.

[@andreaholcock8992]

[@shahs1221]

@@Literally_a_Moth I love how they made Caz so messy in that revelation too. Throughout the game you always had a sense of him trying to "fix" or more accurately run away from the problem and hoping that everything will eventually work out (him crime, his marriage, his job, escaping the rig itself, etc) even when reality tells him otherwise. Finlay telling him to "be brave" was so beautiful as he finally takes a stance to stand his ground and face reality even when it will cost him everything. GOD, what an amazing game!

[@armintor2826]

And he becomes totally obsessed with killing Caz, now that he doesnt care whats on his record anymore

[@sharondornhoff7563]

IGP was wondering why some of the men turned into mobile threats, while others remained stuck to the walls as meat moss. Me, I have to suspect that anger, itself, was a factor: Rennick lived, breathed, and crapped anger in his every line, and both Trots and Addair seem to have been really angry about politics, albeit from different sides of the spectrum. Gibbo got pretty touchy about Trots's activism at breakfast too, more so than their conversation really seemed to warrant. The main exception seems to be Muir, but the way Innes chewed him out for being careless that morning might've ticked him off a lot more than he allowed to show at the time.

​@@DragonhatchieYeah it's been years for me as well, but it's certainly not a new concept I don't think. I've never watched Neebs so I'm not familiar with him doing it but again, it's not some editing breakthrough or anything. I actually got the idea to try stuff like this while watching shows and getting a look into how the sound design works. Always wondered about how they get the voices to sound so fitting in the rooms and I leaned about how actors go into the studio to records dubs after filming if the in-field audio is too noisy. And I just thought one day to try it out and I loved the result. And now it's just super fun trying to get the audio to fit every environment. I even tried recording my own convolution reverb impulses to use in my videos but they never turn out great lmao

In my opinion, the fact the saddest death wasn't even a death by the creatures is just a nasty stab, Roy died because of his Diabetes, not even the fucking monsters, its like the game forced us to worry about the creatures more and forget that Roy would die if he didn't get his Insulin, out of all the deaths Caz seemed so broken at Roys death specifically, really showed his bond with Roy.

I love the clever call back of dialogue with Rennick's character from when Caz is in trouble with his job vs when Caz is getting chased when boss man is infected. "You're in the shit now, Mcleary....." It's one thing to get threats from your boss about losing your job, it's another when your boss is chasing you down as a mutated creature still threatening you about losing your job lol

[@buggart]

Also near the end when Caz is being chased by Rennick, Rennick would shout "I told you to get the f*ck out of here, Mcleary!" as if he's telling Caz that if he was just a few minutes earlier and didn't take his time going to Rennick's office, he would've been out of the rig before the whole thing started.

He gave Caz a personal call to be careful and get to the helipad to leave, he still got impatient likely believing people were dead or infected, he has the tendency for impatience so it’s not surprising he’d leave early, but Rennick even as a mutated monster is asking for help and is scolding Caz for not getting out earlier when he had the chance.

Ignoring the fact it’s an incredible story, for someone like me, from the west of Scotland, finally hearing a game in my language, my accent, hearing words that only people from my home will know, it’s the first time a game has been truly immersive. I done an offshore safety course many years ago with a view to working on the rigs. This game reminds me so much of that (even though we never got onto the rigs, there were several emergency scenarios set up in the place we trained in and I saw a few similar here) I think, when you’re American or even English, you hear your accent and dialect so often you don’t think about it as much but playing a game, no matter how good, and hearing the sane American accents just tears you out of the immersion the developers are trying to create so this, for me, in my accent, with my dialect and with words in our language that are purely ours, and in an industry that has been a bedrock of our society for so long… It’s just so amazing, so breathtaking

[@Benign_Anomaly]

I'm honestly not sure they know what they're doing. At least when it comes to some of them. Muir is the one who made me think this. He doesn't seem to realize what he is or what he's doing to the other rig workers, wondering why they aren't helping him and instead are running away from him, and telling them not to leave him. I also noticed how all the bodies on the deck with him were placed in a sitting position upright against some surface, as if he put them there like that after killing them. Perhaps showing some sort of care, but he's unaware when it comes to what actually hurt them. Him. I think it might be a little different for each person, and I think it depends on their mentality when infected. Addair and Rennick both seemed a lot more aware than others (With the exception of Gibbo), and they purposefully go after Caz and call him by name. They're the ones who hated Caz the most right before the events, so after becoming whatever it is they are they hold that hatred for him and set out to kill him, knowingly. They retain some memories and personality (though maybe that changes over time, seeing as we only saw what happens shortly after infection). But some don't act as if they understand at all what they're doing. Like Muir and maybe Trots.

If he was mad, it was probably mad in a light-hearted manner. But honestly, the comment kinda fits with Caz's personality, because he's more of a direct person, likely trending towards immediate solutions to more complicated matters, such as beating a man who likes his partner, rather than taking a high road or some other solution.

If I had picked it up, my first thought would be of complete worry that Roy might be gone. It indeed would have made his death even worse because for me, since I didn't pick it up or see it, there was hope that he found it and is okay, just hiding away. Losing that hope is kind of a running theme in this game. So little to hold onto but we kept pushing. Having that little hope become a complete uncertainty just adds to the horror and the intensity of finding Roy again.

[@IGP]

And I just realised in Roy's announcement after I meet back up with Finlay and Brodie he mentions the insulin but it's slightly cut off and after reading it it implies he didn't get it...welp I guess when playing and even in editing heard his message as in he's hiding and he's not sure how long he is going to survive LOL

I agree! Though I can't personally vouch for/against slang (writing from the US), the dialogue feels really natural! Also, the character's voices change depending on what they're doing, like Finlay sounding more strained in the beginning, while up on the ladder, for example. It sounds like a movie where the actors were speaking lines AND doing the blocking, not just in a recording booth, which is AWESOME! The PS4 Spiderman games did the same, where the VA's recorded once normally and once strained to account for the web slinging. tldr: I'm in agreement! The voice acting is AMAZING (also sorry for the ramble, I got excited.)

I found this video by happenstance, and just started this game yesterday! The accent is gorgeous!

[@SplashingMANGO]

2:04:08 “Lab Samples” would be perfectly normal on an oil rig, nothing sus about it. Pretty much all oil and gas extraction facilities, on land or rigs at sea, will have a “lab” to some degree or another. They have to have ways to verify that they are in fact extracting oil and gas of whatever specific chemical makeup the rig is extracting for. You drill a hole in the earth, under the ocean or not, you’re gonna be pulling out more than oil. It then needs to be “filtered” and processed into a usable product to be taken off site. Even crude unrefined oil has significant processing from extraction to the point it can be sold at market. Just goes to show just how in depth the devs researched this, and how perfectly they recreated a real rig for this. Nothing, save for the obvious eldritch horror, is out of place, or doesn’t make real world sense

[@samanyupalthi]

It could also be a marine life and seabed analysis lab! It is obvious that a lab would exist

[@Quick15]

I wonder if they actually contacted some oil rig workers, or if they just did really good research.

[@Unnormal9696]

I’ll be damned, I just resign from my last oil job and this is the youtube algorithm have to offer me to watch.

[@KovarrBlue]

IGP says it's a horror game set on an oil rig in the middle of the open ocean. I hear "oil rig" and "open ocean" and already feel my pulse start to race and my stomach get weak. I'd have the creeping horrors standing on an ocean oil platform on a calm, sunny day.

[@My-Name-Isnt-Important]

Piper Alpha oil platform, north-east of Aberdeen, Scotland. It exploded 6th of July in 1988, and killed 167, including two from the rescue members. The crew on board the platform was 226, and only 61 workers survived and escaped. It is the deadliest Oil platform disaster ever. I assume this game was inspired by this specific tragedy, with it being set in the North Sea off the coast of Scotland.

[@colonelsanders515]

You Nailed it now there’s better safety improvements and requirements implemented because of that event I’m shur that’s what inspired this game was that tragedy

[@obscureOctopus1993]

Anyone else notice in the ending scene in the bedroom, Caz has no reflection in any of the mirrors? Instead of it being a flashback, his ghost is visiting his wife before moving on

[@im6900]

My take is that it's the morning before Caz leaves his wife and kids to work in the oil rig

[@miffty75]

there is no reflection in any of the mirrors even in the beginnig of the game, what are you talking about

[@sakatsuki8580]

Games RARELY make working mirrors.. No clue what youre on about xD

[@richardharris9708]

Mirrors are expensive to render, basically need to render a whole second view which halves the FPS. This is changing with raytracing however, but at present most modern games don't have working mirrors. It does take a lot away from the scene though.

[@TheEthanEdge]

iget what you're saying, but i also think its meant to be the morning he left.

[@andrewbell7579]

The picture you see on all the tv's is what we would get back in the 80's and 90's when tv would finish at 1am maybe 2am in the morning before 24hr tv. It used to be a little girl around 9-10 years old drawing on a blackboard, playing x and o, with a teddy bear. The attention to detail is off the chain, from a Glaswegian.

[@Mika-ph6ku]

All of the dead people who weren't turned probably just died from trauma related to the rigs gradual destruction, like how Finley died at the end from being crushed by that steel truss.

[@stanley13579]

We need more games like this, and fewer AAA-studio games. It's obvious this one was made with love and care and passion, and most importantly: No constraints. No check-boxes, no mandates. This is art.

[@vidmasterK1]

What checkboxes and mandates? Huh?

Love how he’s like “SUZE!” and then casually puts the phone back

[@Skarrier]

Yeah, i was waiting for some unique animation when Caz just destroys the phone apparatus out of frustration after one of the phone calls near the end due to sheer frustration built up by everything

[@snowwolfdemon5793]

I love how he criticizes everything the character can do if it were in real life, "Just unscrew the rest of the vent! This is going to make so much noise!" and when he was talking to Finlay through the window "I could just squeeze through that common!"

[@BuonoTorta]

Yellow is likey used as the color of "Go here" and "You can open this" due to the same reason that road signs and road paint is commonly yellow, its bright and noticeable. Plus with yellow being used on road signs and road paint most people are already trained to look at yellow as a form of instruction.

[@SSD_Penumbra]

It works here because Yellow is also used on rigs to indicate safety guidelines, so shit like ladders and stuff would realistically be painted yellow.

[@MartinFinnerup]

It's less about the specific color, and more about contrast. Yellow is usually a pretty good contrast to most environments, but highly saturated colors in general work.

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

It's an oil rig. They use any sort of high-contrasting paint on oil rigs for safety guidelines and indications of danger. The game goes an extra mile with it, though you can turn the extra yellow paint that was solely put in to guide players off in the settings. The rest of the yellow paint that makes sense for the game's setting remains.

[@tinytruck2108]

also game devs have repeatedly faced issues where players don't know where tf to go unless something is yellow, and then when you add in yellow they get mad at the game for "hand holding"

My man, 10/10 playthough, 10/10 commentary, 10/10 game. Probably one of the best playthroughs i've ever seen. All of your reactions were appropriate, nothing over the top, but you let the emotions flow. All of your commentary was intelligent, no screeching or immaturity or pandering. I loved the editing you did on your voice to make it seem like you were in the game. You also kept the pace up through the whole video with minimal cuts, which I thought was very impressive! You've earned my sub, and my like, and i'll be coming back for more!

[@ImAShinyPotato]

Yeah! The editing on his voice is crazy! You ca hear his voice change when hes underwater. Makes it very immersive!

[@nymuelovan]

Absolutely agreed. Had to sub.

[@XotticVibxz]

I feel the saddest part is the fact that suze and everyone else probably won't ever know about what actually happened on the rig and it might just be considered a accidental explosion

[@Skarrier]

Of everything, that would be the best outcome. Considering the fact that infection is spread through the contact with that oil, if it hasn't all burned out, then the whole world is in danger, so it better stay the local incident

[@lizzyobrien2376]

That moment, at 3:11:15, is a truly horrifying moment if you think about it. The stuff is spreading through the rig, sure, but it looks like it might be containable, reversible even. Fighting to keep the rig afloat and the last few survivors alive. And then… that godd*mn window. Seeing that, your heart just shatters. Whatever this stuff is, it’s not only breaking the rig and the people around it, but the very fabric of reality itself. It’s twisting and corrupting everything it touches, even the very air you breathe. It was at this moment, this ‘blink-and-you-miss-it’ moment, one that if you were in any bigger of a rush you wouldn’t have noticed, that you realize that no one is getting off this rig alive.

[@GuineaPigsTasteGood]

@IGP at around 50:00 when he was talking about "I didn't mean too" and "I keep seeing his face" it was Gibbo saying that he was infected and is still concious but is not in control of his own actions and is now huanted by the fact he just killed his own freind.

Kind of bummed that we never got any clearer look of the monsters and their designs. Was hoping to see something along the lines with "the Thing (2011)" but instead we got hovering meatballs with tentacles. Only monster scene that really got me goosebumps was Trots just calmly standing in the dark.
