Black Snow - It's in the Shadows

[@ayoutubechannel1492]

This is quickly becoming one of my favourite yt channels. I'm not a big fan of horror but having someone there equally as scared makes it so much better

[@c64cassettedrive99]

[@NotDandyYew]

In a game yes but in real life no. They can be the person between life and death at that point 🤷🏻

[@redlexapher]

This mod definitely seems like a classic example of great vision, but bad execution. Or heck, even just lack of playtesting. So much of the mod seems to have great ideas and understanding of horror, but falls short in it's lack of purpose or direction. The game made it's self decently open in scale, but didn't set a very clear place or goal in the beginning. Whether to find your team, escape, etc.. Only becoming a "Let's leave this place" objective once hearing learning the snowcat existed still, and receiving the list. If the game let you play out that intro sequence some, I feel it would have escaped that problem in my mind. A sense of urgency, seeing your team be split up and attacked by an unknown or cryptic force would be put upon you, realizing that your team is gone and nothing would change that, escape comes to the forefront of your mind. Hastening movements through the dark and derelict halls, getting to your objective.

[@TheLibrarianYT]

Yep. There's a definite lack of direction and urgency that, you're right, would have been alleviated had we played through the beginning. Like, why is am I discovering the snow cat by chance, and ONLY THEN learning that it's the vehicle I arrived in, and I need to repair it? My character should know that it's in the garage and my best bet at escape. And for that matter, why does an on-site memo have a list of repairs, for MY TEAM'S SNOW CAT THAT JUST ARRIVED!?

[@redlexapher]

That list is very perplexing and I kind of glossed over that while watching. It seems like the development of the mod was overly rushed and things were overlooked in the writing process as well, the magical list for a vehicle that only just arrived. Or the axe left in the server cabinet, defying the Chekhov's Gun principle, narratives should be able to go against this to defy expectation to a certain degree, but not for quite literally no narrative or gameplay purpose, it has to DEFY, not be left as a sour taste left in your mouth at the end. While I understand it is a mod and not a fully fledged game, I feel like that shouldn't be an excuse for lack of polish. All of that being speculation, but I have seen quite a few projects go by the wayside through lack of motivation or burnout, leading to a generally worse end product.

[@Immolator772]

the intro did establish that you have to escape, why would you wanna stay with a creature that has torn your team into shreds and attack you? Didn't you pay attention that all this happened within a day?

[@redlexapher]

@@Immolator772 While yes, it did show these things, it also was in a fast paced and chopped cinematic cutting between set pieces quickly. Like The Librarian said, I thought it was going to switch characters and have you play as a separate person, hence why a lot of things were ambiguous in the intro. But instead it didn't. I dislike the narrative of x bad happened, insert gameplay to reach y ending.

[@booleanreturn3206]

I enjoyed it at the time when it released, but looking back, it's a pretty rough product. This is just me speculating, but I feel like you can see where the project finally fell apart with the abrupt ending. The first two Penumbra games and Cryostasis (if you can find a copy) are probably better games to look to if you want to see many of these ideas well executed.

[@xxfalconarasxx5659]

I played this mod way back in 2012. My experience was actually pretty smooth, and I thought the game was quite good. The only part I really got stuck on was the X-ray puzzle. Watching this video now, I notice how incredibly lucky I was on that first playthrough to not miss as many cues, or take wrong turns, otherwise, I probably would have been stuck aimlessly wandering the dark and being frustrated like you were for much of the game. It's clear that the devs designed this mod to be played in one way, and one way only. For instance, I was fortunate enough to notice the light pattern in the first hallway before it disappeared off. It takes a long time for the light to come back again, and the game gives no additional hints on what to do beyond that, so I have no idea what they expected a player to do if they missed it. On the second time going outside in the game, I went left instead of right, and was able to go into the garage with most of my health. I don't understand why they didn't put a heater in there, instead of forcing injured players to backtrack so far. Upon acquiring the biodiesel, I fueled up the generator first, instead of going for the Snowcat first, evading the inventory UI bug. At that chase in the flickering hallway, I ran in the opposite direction, instead of taking shelter in the siderooms. It seems the mod developer did not anticipate the player going into those rooms, as the light does not ward the entities off as they should. This mod should have been playtested more before release. It seems that the devs did not account too much for deviations in the way other people would play their game.

[@Immolator772]

Some people are just better at games, this guy tends to miss obvious stuff.

[@lewinside8289]

@@Immolator772 Just because you're "missing obvious stuff" does not mean you are worse at games. The player is always right. If he misses something, it's bad game design. In fact, The Librarian is one of the few people I've seen who actually take their time exploring the environment and paying attention to smaller details.

[@Immolator772]

@@lewinside8289 oh yeah you want the game to put an obvious arrow saying "go there idiot"? Many games back in the day didn't have stuff pointing at you where to go that doesn't mean they were badly designed, having bad orientation meqns you are a bad player.

[@ghostly2286]

@@lewinside8289 I agree with you, but not on "The player is always right." Some people can have pretty poor awareness and miss things that the majority of people would otherwise see as being obvious. Now, if the majority of players miss something that the game expects them to see, then that would definitely point toward bad game design.

[@xxfalconarasxx5659]

​@@Immolator772 It's not as binary an issue as you make it out. I agree that a game should not be holding your hand, but Black Snow has certain cues that the player could easily miss, and this could lead to the player wandering aimlessly trying to figure out what to do, wasting time, and making them frustrated. This frustration also affects the fear factor of the game. Black Snow has some excellent scares and atmosphere, and you could see that in the earlier parts of the game, The Librarian was really digging it. However in later parts, The Librarian was obviously getting frustrated, and being taken out of the game. Game developers need to ensure that the target audience can make reasonable progress in a reasonable amount of time. It does not necessarily mean that the game needs distracting quest markers. Even if I accept your stance. Black Snow is also just a bit too unpolished. It has quite a few bugs and design oversights that should have been addressed shortly after release, and yet this mod came out a decade ago. The inventory UI bug, and the inconsistency with how enemies react to light is just unacceptable.

[@chickenparm7372]

This game kind of reminds me of John Carpenter's 'The Thing'. I feel like the arctic setting is fairly unused in horror games. The sense of isolation that comes with being surrounded by hundreds of miles of ice and water and no civilization whatsoever is nothing short of worrying.

[@TheLibrarianYT]

I agree, the arctic setting is so underutilized. It's like being on the surface of the moon - which is another overlooked setting.

[@strangeyoutuberman7115]

Like the setting of The Thing but the characters and beginning of dead space, like the main character being an engineer, and military investigating an abandoned base. Mainly the thing though.

Wow! This is super crazy to see, I am actually the creator of this mod and searched for it because I was trying to show my friend what it looked like. I can’t believe this thing still runs and most of all, that anyone has been playing it! Thank you so much for this video, it really meant a lot to watch a modern take. I’m also cringing at all the terrible design decisions I made a decade ago 😂. A lot of the bugs also occurred because I made this mod with zero coding and just scripting, so a lot of things are a bit janky and would only run well on the folder structure and architecture of Source2007, the fact that it runs at all is quite amazing. I had to do A LOT of duct tapey things to get the whole thing to work (and even back then they don’t always do). Thank you for putting up with the mod, and yes you were very right that it’s a bit all over the place. It was my first released mod ever and I was doing it alone - hopefully I have learned better design sensibilities now 😂 Thank you again! 🙏🏼

[@DaedrasMan]

This mod brings back a lot of childhood memories. I remember seeing it as a kid in a play through of one of my favorite youtubers. Glad to see it again with a mature perspective. Love your channel Librarian, you've been my go-to in the last 5 months. Somehow your videos give me lots of nostalgia and comfort, and I needed that lately.

[@gerryjweathersthethird5284]

The “how can she slap?!” Part brought back some memories, very fun.

[@borico62]

46:45 I feel that trope is what happens when taking a middle ground when explaining the lore. Explain nothing in-game and leave it everything to the manual (if at all), and you'll have the players who care about the lore complaining about the game not bothering to explain anything, and having to come to external sources when everything important should be in-game. Explain everything important in dialogues and cutscenes, and you'll have the players who don't care about the lore complaining about the game stopping its gameplay, and having to wait for the dialogues and cutscenes they don't care to end so that they can play again. I guess, for a game developer, leaving notes is the balanced approach. The players who care about the lore can stop and read them, the players who don't care about the lore can just ignore them.

Love the play through, you've quickly become one of my favorite you-tubers. The explanation of horror, and what makes it work, has expanded my reading list. I had read some horror before finding your channel, but after ive been watching, Ive read more and more horror. I do think this mod had a great vision, but gets let down what a lot of puzzle games get let down by. If you arent in the same headspace as the creator, and they dont have enough sign posting (clues that let a player, reader, or watcher, connect the dots between events) its very hard and frustrating to make progress. Being mad or frustrated takes you completely out of the horror aspect. You ought to play scanner sombre & into the radius. Scanner sombre is about exploring caves. Into the radius takes inspiration from the book roadside picnic. Both are in VR.

[@TechNinjaSigma]

1:03:45 When the videos are long I wait till i have some time to sit back and watch them, occasionally I'll forget and end up not watching them until much later.

It may not be night time but I am home alone, so hearing that made my skin go cold and I could barely get myself to move to pick up the phone.

So what were doing during that intro sequence? It told you what you needed to know as the character you play as. Something is going on at an arctic base, your job is to find out what it is. It then establishes that there's an unseen force that has killed your squad. You literally don't know anymore than that and the character doesn't know more than that. I always thought that was well established.

Thanks for covering this mod, it's one of my favorites despite its length and flaws. Definitely a strong premise with its unique assets/ambience and an ambiguous but compelling story. It's a shame it never got a followup or sequel. IIRC the 2013 Steampipe update also broke some things in the maps that still haven't been patched, some related to the UI, and one secret you missed at 1:11:40, behind the bookshelf in that room you can find the body of your team leader and some additional lore to who may have planted the bomb.

Something I learned when I saw someone tied to port this full mod into Gmod, since it's such a heavily modded version of Source, a lot of things break, and end up breaking the illusion in a few places. Apparently, the smoke monster is actually an Antlion that's been made invisible, had it's sounds replaced, and in place of it's model, it generates those strange, smoky particles. Which does make it start to make some sense. They probably couldn't completely remove the sounds of it moving, so you can recognize the antlion footsteps once yo know what it is. Also gives you a better idea of it's mobility. Antlions can move pretty darn fast. Also why it hits so hard. Though, them opening doors is an odd anomaly. I don't remember Antlions being able to open doors, and I'm unsure if it's intentional. They certainly did a good job with the illusion, though. This thing's much more existentially terrifying than an antlion chasing you around!

[@Pfalzgarage]

I am totally behind most of your critical points, but for what you call a non-ending, I get the impression that you completely missed the point that this seems to be some kind of "found footage"-analysis. When you die, the death messages say things like "corrupted recording" etc., as if some agency or whoever was sifting through bodycam footage of whoever was found at the site of the incident. If you wrap your head around that premise, I find it to be an acceptable ending that your character has in fact found their demise by the detonation in the tower. It's not a great ending anyway, since it would have easily been possible to have a similarly tie-in ending without leaving so many loose threads, but a bad ending is still better than a non-ending I guess.

Everything was outlined story wise but the artist were very vague on their level design so communication fell apart and the project was ass.

Hey I think I got a game you might enjoy but I don’t think it fits your style, it’s called “At dead of night” a First person horror FMV Point and click game, Here is the description from the steam page I don’t know if you would enjoy it but I really enjoyed the game At Dead Of Night is part horror film, part horror game and part ghost hunt. It seamlessly blends live-action and computer rendered graphics to create a unique immersive horror experience like no other. You play Maya, a student trapped in a remote hotel run by a psychopath called Jimmy Hall.

A game made by a person who really understands art and atmosphere but doesn't understand game design at all.

Thanks for the warning gamer 👍

It would be cool if it started out with the cutscene and then you, the IT guy, next to the dead body having saw the body camera and then start the game.

26:38. I feel like that was meant to confirm it had an electromagnetic field.

They should revamp it and make it into a no more room in hell map.
