[@SparkyL-Maxwell]

My friend (Matt) is the guy who came up with viewfinder. When we were living together he would keep showing me dumb little things he was excited for people to find. Watching Kev point out all dumb the things and "breaking" the game the way Matt hoped people would... it melts my heart. I wasn't involved in anyway with the development, but I seen first hand how much was getting put into this game. The amount of passion and personal dedication that was poured into Viewfinder was admirable to say the least. I am so glad I can watch someone playing EXACTLY as hoped. Just dumb fun, not looking for the correct way to solve a puzzle, and embracing the characters for their quirks. The fact I can see this response from one of my favourite KZbinrs could honestly make me cry.

[@marcusdaloia2974]

Keven is like _weirdly_ the exact target audience for this game. Like to a odd degree.

[@AstralDragn]

Sounds like a developer with a drive to make puzzles that are both conniving and also open to being solved. Exactly how I think good puzzlegames are!

[@THEGOOD360]

We'll just... take your word for that I guess lol

[@mattstark7814]

can confirm, Sparky's my buddy 😊@@THEGOOD360

[@highdefinition450]

lmao i muted the characters and never read the dialogue i just like the concept and solving puzzles lol

[@AlephSharp]

I love how much kevin sounds like a point & click game protagonist this video. "That's not what I need right now." "I'm gonna have to find a picture or something." "I don't know where to go." "Can I go up that path?" "There's Gotta be a picture here somewhere." And thats all just in the span of like 20 seconds at 1:40

[@rachell.5555]

The best part about the last one is that the thing he needed was right next to him as well

[@tacticaljuggernaut4866]

I cant believe how perfect the audio was in this video, so proud of how far Kevin has come

[@aspuzling]

Nothing but professionalism.

[@proudtiger2538]

he's the professionalest for sure

[@justinthatguy]

Some might call him an audio genius

[@midnight_4-202]

When you record multiple audio channels you can fix your mistakes after 😂

[@antoinekoh8532]

Love it when kevin gets a taste of his own medicine as the game trolls him back ❤

[@UtopssAKAPJ]

about time lol

[@Thetrueunc]

He liked it ❤💛🖤♥

[@connor7831]

Kevin: Ignores all phone calls Also Kevin: Why has nobody given me this important information until right now

[@sdivine13]

Same tho

[@DarksoulVan]

🎉

[@boink666]

Kevin is very professional when it comes to audio and video. I was blown away by how there were no errors at all in this video.

[@pedrovallefin8406]

All joking aside, the audio issue was really barely noticable. I probably wouldnt have noticed it all if he himself didnt pointed out in the video. Maybe is more of a blaring issue in youre using headphones?

[@AdalynnCaelgirien]

Cait disappearing with tears in his eyes while purring was heartbreaking :(

[@angelinasurzhyk6655]

I KNOWWW that got me so emotional, I can't believe this game already got me so attached to this character in the 1,5 minutes he was present in the video🥹

[@seidimeow]

and kevin didn't show the credits but they literally say hashtag justice for cait at the end 😭💗

[@cybeermancom1]

am sad

[@spookylittlebat5208]

🥺😖😭

[@scalemerald]

@@seidimeowknowing kevin and his adhd i have my doubts that he even sat through the credits ahahah

[@TheDarkbluerock]

"Games trolling Kevin" is my second favourite type of videos on this channel, right after "Kevin trolling games" videos.

[@spectre9340]

as funny as this all was, I'm really impressed by the game developers. This was a really interesting type of gameplay

[@krazyxki]

Indie devs are carrying the entire industry rn!

[@jacobshaw8247]

Yeah thank god for independant developers in all artistic fields. Down with corporate america.

[@robiguzman8529]

Cant wait to see how kevin accidentally solves puzzles the “wrong” way

[@SlothLinn]

I'm so impressed over games like these - and even more impressed by Kevin's two braincells still being alive, even if barely

[@scalemerald]

his 2 braincells are the 1% of germs that hand sanitizers fail to kill. many have tried, none have succeeded.

[@Gondorf5]

Kevin is a photography genius. I can’t believe how perfect the audio was in this video. This also makes him an editing genius, and I remember no reality in which this is untrue.

[@Roof5tone]

I love how everything is ok and functional in this professional let's play video.

[@idkman3463]

My favourite part was how everything was professioal quality the whole time. Kevin is a prefessional genius!

[@GhostHelwig]

I feel like watching such a trippy game on this particular channel is going to make it a thousand times more confusing, and I love it. 😂

[@Connor_RK801]

I feel like Kevin has played so many puzzle games that we’ll never truly know which one is “the coolest”

[@jameswent48]

feel*

[@actuaiiyyou]

Kevin always pushes the envelope when it comes to audio quality, wonderful work, I can’t imagine what it must feel like for someone who can’t achieve this amazing sound

[@FineBlaBla]

love how kevin is bashing himself for the little mistake with the audio all while i didn't even noticed it in the beginning

[@TheSkylineSuperMan]

I really liked how absolutely everything was okay in this video, classic Kevin, a consummate professional.

[@azalea_k]

I was SO HOPING for this game, because Superliminal is my most rewatched here. Maybe I just like it when Kevin gets trolled.

[@jazzpancake1167]

Less than two minutes in and my brain hurts. But what a cool concept!

[@Wes_Darvin]

"Yes! This changes everything!" "Oh no! This changes everything!" 😂 I can't breathe

I've been binge watching Kevin's content so much lately, he actually feels like a friend ❤ Edit: Kevin is a person on the internet. He's not literally a friend. Thanks for the concern about my mental health though. It's really nice to know people care

You should try holy potatoes, a weapon shop! I promptly remember you saying you're obliged to play all potato game as an irishman. This game is filled with fun references and whatnot too. I love it!

[@sarah.1230]

my favorite part was how everything was perfectly fine in the beginning, especially the audio. first impressions are everything👏🏻

[@Cannabinova]

UaU the audio at the beginning is epically on point, proving Kevin is a recording genius.

[@farpopcorn1565]

Kevin: I’m a compleshonist Also Kevin: optional challenge goes against what I believe in

[@deltadeltagrand2842]

Man, this videos audio was so *ok* for the first *01:12* of it. The rest was *ok* too, this is why I love watching CallMeKevin. Quality, especially in the *ok* audio. You’ll never get a video with audio this *ok* for the first *01:12* of it from anyone else.

[@RasmusMyKing]

Wow! The audio in the first few minutes is amazing! Kevin is a military genius!

[@VikingAdrift]

Anytime the title says "took years off my life", I know it's going to be good. 😂 Love your content!

[@victorianicholls3991]

How many years has he lost?

[@VikingAdrift]

I would guess around 213, give or take. Lol

[@yokoghoul5478]

Not really anything to do with the video but I love your humor and personality, it's my main way to cheer up after a bad day and I wanted to thank you for it Keep up the good work Kevin!

[@morganpresley496]

I'm so glad you played through the entire game in this video! It's really nice to have that resolution, especially when I haven't played the game myself. Thanks for all of your hard work making these videos!

[@BrianaCunningham]

"I'm never leaving!" "What!? I'm trapped in here!" 😂😂

[@linklink3069]

I have beaten this game over 5 times by now, it's probably one of my favorite games of the year.

[@bucketofsunshine6366]

I only watched half so far because I'm playing this game myself and I don't want the answers spoiled, but I'll be back when I'm done! I only just got to Mirren's level. That last one where the battery turned into a cylander really hurt my brain. I hate that I had to look up the answer, but I was to the point of constantly throwing myself off the edge in frustration, only to be even more frustrated by my lack of death. 😅 I felt so dumb when I saw how to do it!

[@L0xi3]

Oooh, these games are always so trippy, seeing Kevin play it will just make it even more confusing haha

[@phraggers]

having written games myself (as a hobby) I always appreciate games with a rewind feature. For those who haven't tried before, it is INCREDIBLY difficult to pull it off efficiently (keeping track of gamestate and input over time without having terrabyte sized save files is a real challenge!)

[@ManicMama.]

This is one of the coolest games Ive seen in a while! I saw another youtuber play it not long ago and was completely blown away by it. So glad Kevin is playing it!!

[@thedarkness8533]

The developers outdid themselves with this levels

[@amberyoung3169]

Kevin, I know it's cheesy but your videos, chaos, and general personality have been the background noise I always have playing when I cant take silence. Your videos have helped me exist during some rough times in my life. Thank you for putting in such hard, consistent work.

[@michaeledwards6683]

real

[@krazyxki]

His newer long form content seriously came at a perfect time in my life lol.

[@JhericFury]

I was just watching the superliminal videos recently, love these kinds of games. Also love Kevin's brain falling apart trying to solve them

[@Fl0werjpg]

How many years does Kevin have left? It’s getting concerning now!!

[@bobbixvv]

30:02 "by the time i get used to something that feature's useless, we've moved on and i'm confused again" yep, that was me in maths

[@mol9860]

I had a stressful work day with lots of travel and lots of train delays. But getting back home to see a Kevin upload made a good day! Thanks, Kevo 🤠

[@electinae]

I'm so glad the audio was absolutely perfect in this video, Kevin is such a professional!

[@prestongarvey4396]

This is the fourth game to have taken years off of Kevin's life, based on the title. Now I'm starting to get concerned for his health lol

[@marcusdaloia2974]

Keven has _actually_ the exactly right shaped brain for this.

[@connor7831]

Wow the audio in the beginning is so good. Definitely some of the best I've ever heard

[@michaeledwards6683]

25:51 kevin’s actually drawing the initials of the developer studio

[@daniellapain1576]

looks like superliminal is becoming its own game genre and I'm here for it.

[@Twinklethefox9022]

Wait? So it's not made by the same people?

[@XhanAnimations]

"Oh another falling one! These are grea- OoOOooOh NoOoOoO" 😂

[@Vollce]

Kevin feels like he's being in the matrix but I was in Finland for a month and this is exactly what it was.

[@littlebear274]

22:35 "I've just adapted to this world now, I'm not coming back" reminds me too much of the time I played Superliminal for two hours straight and my brain was convinced the entire world was an optical illusion afterwards. I've seen the start of this game before but boy oh boy it gets even more trippy as it goes. (Obligatory admiration for Kevin's flawless audio engineering skills.)

[@NoHandsJustSleevies]

Speaking on Evil Gardeners, there was a story I learned in high school when we were learning about genetics ( i haven't been able to confirm it) that some scientist guy crossbred a whole bunch of plants and accidently made hybrids that produce more pollen. In reality we have more pollen due to our climate but I still like blaming mystery Evil Gardener on my allergies.

[@animaloversammy]

Out of curiosity, your teacher mentioned Mendel and how we have genetics because of his pea plants right? Just it was flower color, not pollen. Cause this exact statement sounds like how my teachers would change plant color with other things sometimes. (I had genetics a lot throughout high school and college and for some reason they all did that) Never heard about more pollen though 😂

[@miabarrell1232]

wow! what a video! my favourite part is that the audio is perfect throughout! how professional!!!

[@MJD_Ishimura]

Oh wow I love how everything is okay at the beginning especially the audio. For real tho, great video, it always makes my day, thank you Kevin!

[@colonelduck6211]

Everything was okay, the audio sounded amazing in the beginning, absolutely nothing wrong with it at all :)

[@what4494]

Its like a “make ur own fromsoft game map” simulator haha, all the interconnectedness and unexpected turns and secrets

[@The_Nightsong]

This game looks really interesting. Love the different art-styles!!! ❤❤

[@JayskieJ]

that musical score in the beginning of the video was simply masterful. I am in tears.

[@XenomorphSlayerGames]

Kevin’s audio being broken in the beginning was actually a good thing. It saved us from the narrator’s cringy dialogue

[@grzesiaczek98]

I really loved how right the audio was at the very start of the video

[@amira116amira]

'ive absolutely ruined the area but i dont mind because i plan on leaving asap' - Kevin at the end of every Sims video 😂😂😂

[@michaelaheb]

I love when Kevin plays these types of games, they are my favourite

[@breakingaustin]

I was one of the testers for this game and it was so much fun.. I always wanted to see you play this since I watched you play Superliminal but I had to wait for the game to come out lol

[@kerimakmurzayev4718]

Really enjoyed the game audio in first few minutes. Well done 👏🏽

[@coleymx]

I love this video from KZbinr Call Me Kevin, especially the very okay audio!

[@Hunteriffic86]

Kevin is a pro at hyping up a game without telling you its name

[@dajosh42069]

I watched "ManyATrueNerd" play this in a one off episode... and..it's really a fascinating game that has you explore a sort of 4d exploration of the liminal space. It allows for super complex solutions, and insanely simple ones. One of the few games I found to be truly cool in its demand for critical thinking.

[@Jockdog]

I love puzzle games that offer up so much freedom when it comes to solving them, instead of there being only "one true solution". It also allows the games to have that much more room for potential messing-around in 😂 The voice acting for CAIT was fantastic, too. I know Kevin was skipping by a lot, but the range of the performance is really impressive. This game gave my heartstrings as heavy a tug as my brainmeats 😢

[@ashiqahalias241]

this video is my fever dream yes including kevin's narration

[@marrchaney9206]

I feel like if Kevin were a cat, he'd be an orange cat

[@Jockdog]

As an Orange owned person I can confirm. One Orange Brain Cell shared amongst all orange cats absolutely holds true for Kevin. My cat only gets a connection to it once a year or so for a firmware update. This year he learned how to use his puzzle feeder, so now he doesn't want food in his food dish. Only in puzzle feeder. He learned to open doors last year, so honestly, this is a much better use of the brain cell. I have to warn people that if they use the bathroom, he will most likely barge in on them just to ensure the door stays open.

[@marrchaney9206]

@@Jockdog LOL yes! My orange boy figured out which walls in the house make the best shadows so if he wants to play Shadows, he will sit up against the wall and chirp at me until he gets his shadows from me. He has only gotten the braincell once in his life, and it was for his shadows.

[@Jockdog]

@@marrchaney9206 Oh my goodness, that's so adorable... and 100% orange. The things they decide are toys go way beyond twist ties and balls of foil. Although I had a couple of heavy-duty twist ties that won Toy of the Year several years running, because cats. Nothing says "Cat Owner" like getting more excited over the twist ties included in a piece of electronics than the electronics themselves. 😂

[@rotexor]

"I don't know if I'm supposed to do it like this" I think the whole point is that you are free to solve the puzzles however you want with the tools given. Makes for quite an interesting game. :)

[@demoworldplayer]

Kevin needs to play "5D chess with multiverse time travel" with Anna. Would be awesomely confusing.

[@horrorislander]

"Gardeners can ruin the world too, especially if you have allergies." I just flashed on the world's worst, and most do-able, super villain. I mean, DCs Poison Ivy is a gardener super villain, but she's pretty out-there. But what if I were just the Johnny Appleseed of ragweed and kudzu? Weeds and invasive species happen naturally all the time, but surely a turn-coat human could make things much, much worse, couldn't he? Thank you, Kevin!

[@funnyweeman]

As a gardener with allergies, I feel the irony

[@NotOnLand]

I was so happy when Kev started the video with the voice acting off, but then he "fixed" it... At least he cut or talked over most of it

[@sashimiroll5055]

I love how the audio was absolutely perfect all video, especially in the first few minutes!

[@boncboncki89]

"my charakter making guitar riffs sounds" Imagine if your character was mr. Torgue from Borderlands xD😂

[@j-skullz]

Everyone I've seen play this game (just Jerma and Kevin so far) have made the exact same 'there's never anything in hand sanitisers anymore' joke when they saw the hand sanitiser lol

[@h.8281]

Every videogame should have the rewind option. That's such a good idea!.

[@Jockdog]

It's a great feature! I love that a lot of kids' games have been adding it, and that the old console games on Switch all have it as an extra feature. I think my favourite games where it's actually a big part of the game are Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective and Braid :)
