This Game Was Lost For 20 Years

In 1999, an experimental Japanese artist released a horror point and click adventure game that was completely different from its contemporaries. Due to external forces beyond his control, the game was left in utter obscurity and was considered to be lost for many years. A decade later, forum users across the internet sought to find and preserve this game… they were successful in doing so. A decade after that, the game was given an official remaster supervised by the original game’s creator. This is the story of GARAGE: Bad Dream Adventure.

I noticed that the most obscure games that are Japanese are released on the same year. Like there’s a game called Cookie’s Bustle - Mysterious Bombo World (Yes, that’s actually the full title.) which somebody is trying their best to get it taken down and is partially lost on the internet. Its also released in 1999 and it only had 100 sales so it’s very rare. It’s really weird that a lot of games like these aren’t being seen and nobody even knew what they were until a few decades later…

[@anguset]

W Cookies Bustle enjoyer

[@PixelOverload]

I think every archivist and their mum has a copy of Cookie's Bustle now so it ain't disappearing any time soon 😂 I've got at least 3 different versions 👍

[@dominicvega9267]

Why is someone trying to take it down. That's not cool

[@phoebeaurum7113]

​@@PixelOverloadThe problem is making content out of it.

[@anguset]

Nah, shared copies are struck too. Given that that's the only way to play it now, that's doing enough to try and erase it from history, but attacking content on it is a step further - if you really want media to be lost, try to erase it from public consciousness. It can't be fully erased of course, but the Streisand effect will only do so much. Content creators need to eat, and KZbin's broken copyright policy allows the malicious 'copyright holder' to directly threaten their livelihood... Cookies Bustle is still in danger of being forgotten, it was just a brief meme in early 2023. EDIT: just realized @phoebearum7113 was replying to someone, my mistake for trying to correct you

I first found out about Garage by randomly getting recommended cutscenes of the game after watching some of Andyland’s animations. That led to me eventually finding the fan translation, and then it quickly became one of my favorite games. It’s such a surreal experience and truly worth playing, though I prefer the original to the remake. I’d still say it’s 100% worth playing and experiencing for yourself

[@mathiasdaems7144]

How can I play it?

[@cleanchimera3870]

odd how that also happened to me

[@camolotthe42]

My friends and I regularly use the phrase "word lost" to describe when someone is tired, intoxicated, or unfocused to the point of not being able to properly recall things. "Trust in Garage" has become a quip for when someone is uncertain about something. We've had multiple playthroughs of the game where a different person picks it up and streams it to the rest of us while we passively sort of discuss it; Garage became a sort of touchstone for my friend groups years back, and the effects of it are pretty indelible.

[@royareyzabal823]

that's so cool, to share gems with friends. I wish to do the same

[@zxnecat]

I won't be able to share gems with friends, and I might not even be bothered to share memories in exhaustive detail. But that's a nicely put retelling m8

I first stumbled upon gameplay for Bad Dream Garage somewhere on NicoNico about five-six years ago, and it took me another five years of intermittently thinking about this game to finally find an obscure commentary video on KZbin. I’m so glad to finally see another person talking about this game- let alone seeing how popular this video has become so far:)

[@Raphide100]

So so so happy to see a video like this on Garage. I was one of the people that had been searching for this game for over a decade. The day the English translation dropped was such an amazing day for me.

[@mechanicalhoundz]

1:47 I'm still watching the video, but I have to point out the HILARIOUS irony of you saying the line "tell the stories they wanted to tell without the fear of censorship" while showing not just I Have No Mouth, but SPECIFICALLY THE LEVEL THAT IS CENSORED AND REMOVED FROM THE GERMAN RELEASES OF I HAVE NO MOUTH. I genuinely hope that was done on purpose because if it was that is SUCH a funny easter egg.

[@mechanicalhoundz]

For anyone wondering WHY that level is removed: Nimdok, the character you play as in that level, is an Ex-Nazi scientist, and the entire level takes place in a themed Concentration Camp. Germany has extreme censorship laws when it comes to depictions of Nazism in games and the like.

[@DrEnzyme]

If you're a fan of the pre-rendered CG look, Endacopia by Andyland is being made at the moment and it mixes a bunch of different styles together that are very reminiscent of old adventure games.

[@jeff_yourfriendlyrobloxplayer]

[@DrEnzyme]

@@jeff_yourfriendlyrobloxplayer yeah I've seen a bit of gameplay and I think I know what you're talking about. Pretty fucked up

[@bearlogg7974]

Something about the late 90's & games with unspeakable horrors featuring a stress inducing time limit. It's all "find water chip or we all die" or "get out of this hell before you die"

[@sunshinecrafter7473]

I understand preserving the asthetic of the game but I know quite a few game lovers that have a hard time with fonts. My grandmother, especially, who kept up with this one specifically, was very greatful for the new text because it was easier for her to read compared to the pictures of the older version.

[@deftones8717]

2:23 It makes me so happy to see someone feature Sanitarium in a video! I got that game when I was like 12 years old, and absolutely loved it! I still do. It’s so nostalgic for me. I wish more people knew about it. Sure, it’s dated and kinda cheesy, but that’s what makes it so special. The creepy, unsettling atmosphere.. the settings.. It would be the perfect game for let’s players and streamers to play, especially now, during the Halloween season. But yeah, great video in general, man!

[@royareyzabal823]

I also played it when 12 but it was fairly incompatible and I just couldn't pass past the beginning of the game

[@asuka_the_void_witch]

FUCK YEAH SANITARIUM!

[@goatbone]

Great game. The intro really has a lot of good titles that are worth revisiting.

[@WatusiLoveJuicy]

Sanitarium keeps kicking it. Such a cool game~

[@Nyerguds]

Well, Machinarium (2009) and Primordia (2012) were both Adventure games with similar styles, albeit less creepy. They were hand-drawn though, not 3D prerendered, but that gave them that same resolution limitation.

[@saschaschneider9157]

I always found the term point and click adventure somewhat contemptuously. We used to called them graphic adventures as to opposite of the text adventures that were popular some time earlier. Althoug I admit those games where the verb was just assumed by simply left clicking on an any object in the screen had become just that.

[@spacecorgi3074]

I actually have to stop the video halfway to say that I've noticed KZbin is giving me some amazing video recommendations from people with nowhere near as many subscribers as they should and you are definitely one of them, absolutely LOVING this!!

[@DarkflameRaime]

It’s such a good game all around, visuals, story, characters, themes, and gameplay. Play this game if you like piecing together a cryptic/mysterious story bit by bit, exploring an unknown and alien setting, and/or playing fishing minigames.

[@mikkabouzu]

I did a livestream/Let's Play of this in 2014 before anybody knew what this game was, before the fan translation was out, attempting to translate the Japanese live. I only ever did one episode and I regret not continuing. My on-the-fly translation wasn't the most accurate, but it was fun to try to piece things together in real time. Over the years, commenters have asked me to stream the game again, to which I say: There is a full fan translation on Steam; go play it yourself. 残念だもんな

[@JankbaronDom]

Finally! More videos about Garage! Huge thanks for the shout-out!

[@codyhutchins6279]

Jack, keep making documentaries, especially in this vein. You do it well!

[@cor7ana]

No idea if it was on purpose, but when you said "without fear of censorship" while showing a clip from "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" I chuckled because it was actually partially censored in Europe due to a character's background as Mengele's colleague, and all that comes with it. Not criticizing! I personally found it funny. That said, I loved how you showcased such a gem of a game.

[@DerpySnake]

I do believe the German version was actually incompletable due its censorship, funny enough.

[@cor7ana]

@@DerpySnake Effectively, yes. But if you knew the solution to a puzzle ahead of time, the German version is still completable.

[@DerpySnake]

@@cor7ana Can't imagine finding info on the puzzles in 95 would've been easy honestly, but just re-read some stuff and the best ending is apparently unachievable due to the chapter you need to complete for it being entirely cut.

[@cor7ana]

@@DerpySnake A very good point. So easy to forget the limits of finding decent info repositories for games back then.

[@sierrakobold6896]

It's unfortunate that classic adventures games are always referred to as point n click, the original graphic adventure games were originally text parser based from the mid to late 80s and even into the early 90s, quite a few of my favorite Sierra adventure games are text parser based though later in 88 the 1st SCI engine with the text parser would have mouse support in certain titles

[@giovannibongiorno186]

Aren’t they called text adventures? Most people don’t call them point and click I think

[@theskycavedin9592]

Why is that unfortunate? Wtf?

[@Radxix]

@@giovannibongiorno186 Text adventures are a name for interactive fiction type text-only games mainly (Zork 1-3 etc); he's talking about graphical adventure games that were text parser-driven rather than primarily mouse-controlled (or sometimes a hybrid verb interface), like the first Space Quest/King's Quest/Leisure Suit Larry games, or Maniac Mansion as you can see in this video. "Point-and-click" was a real term back then used to describe later graphical adventure games that mainly used the mouse, to distinguish them from parser-based games. But his point is that people today often use it for all graphical adventures categorically. Though stuff like MM in and others in this vid are hybrids so it's a bit whatever in this case.

[@giovannibongiorno186]

Pretty nice documentary! I'll be on the lookout for more stuff from you. If you don't mind me nitpicking, just because you happen to touch on some stuff that I'm very much a nerd about: - the game Boku no Natsuyasumi was misspelled - 'Chun Soft' is not the game, but the developer; that game is Yuuyami Doori Tankentai (Detectives of the Twilight Road, IIRC), and it's sort of a spiritual successor to Twilight Syndrome - one of the pictures you've showed of Kowloon Walled City was actually of the Anata no Warehouse, a themed arcade in Kawasaki that was demolished a few years ago, I have actually been there in the past lol

[@JonEliasV]

Great video! The Zeddas games are up next perhaps? Zeddas 3 was also discovered and revealed not too long ago, and despite being one of the legendary lost media games, it never became popular in any practical way. It'd be fun to see it brought into the light, like you have done here with GARAGE.

[@GiabsCauws]

[@marcellosilva9286]

Wait, Zeddas 3 actually exists? I remember reading an article on Hardcore Gaming 101 that talked about those games and iirc, at the end of the article the author said that a third game was rumored to exist but probably didn't. Edit: I just went back to check the article and it got an errata, citing that the game was found, damn, time flies.

[@JonEliasV]

@@marcellosilva9286 I was obsessed with Zeddas since playing the English translation way back when, and was there to see it get released by Rare Game connoseur Saint - himself having extracted it from some collector's public folders. It's a shame people just kinda shrugged and never touched it once it was found - I myself still would love someone who speaks japanese to play and translate Zeddas 2 and 3 so us gaijin can understand sorta whats going on in them.

[@hewkii_inika]

I've been captivated by garage for years, probably since 2016ish. I don't really remember how i discovered it but i *do* remember how much i desperately wished i could learn more about the game's world. at some point i asked someone working on translating chu-teng whether it'd be possible to do garage next and they said there were some technical issues preventing it, so i kinda just accepted it would be a mysterious little ghost in the back of my mind for the rest of my life. then one day in 2020 i was doing some urban exploration with a friend and the game got brought up, and after looking it up to show them i discovered that there was a fan translation in progress. needless to say i downloaded it as soon as i got home, and it was just as fantastic as the years of anticipation had me hoping. fast forward just over a year, I'm bedridden from a major medical issue and spending a lot of time going in and out of the hospital. this was right after the mobile remake came out, so pretty much every moment i wasn't either asleep, puking, or checking my silly little gacha games i was back in the garage, and i think that experience probably cemented it into my brain as something incredibly personal to me. every character has their own problems, and traumas, and have kinda just accepted their place in the world and lack of power or agency and. as someone who was also in constant pain and completely powerless it really made everything feel much more real. the few times i remember being able to sleep i dreamt about garage. i really felt like one of them. idk how healthy a coping mechanism that is, but it did a good job of keeping me sane when i really needed it. that'll have all been 2 years ago this christmas. I'm better now for the most part, and garage is still one of my favorite games of all time, to the point that telling people to play it has sorta become an in-joke in my friend group lol so yeah. idk how to end this wall of text/traumadump. i guess it's just nice to see vids about it getting good viewcounts when for the longest time you could count the amount of people that care on one hand

I wasn't aware there was a dedicated emulator for this era of games (although Scumm is a hilarious title for it, especially given the grimy style of this game in particular.) I also didn't know about that city in Hong Kong, but now that I've seen it I have to assume that it served as the inspiration for Junji Ito's "Town Without Roads", my personal favorite short story of his.

I really like this video! Your voice has a great cadence and you don't talk too fast or too slow. The title of this video was also *perfect*! I have a tiny critique, which is you should be more confident in your opinions! The comparison to HR Giger was on point, and if you're unsure, you can always research the thing you're thinking of and consider why it's so similar - the body horror genre would pop up, and if you didn't already know about it, you can learn pretty quickly why Giger (out of other body horror artists) stood out to you. His is of the sci-fi/mechanical variety. His works and Garbage have a lot in common. Also, when you said the characters looked weak, I realized you were totally right, but I feel like you could've said something more concrete to convince people of that. When you said that, I realized the characters look like embryos, the very definition of a helpless creature. I wonder if you saw that too? Anyway, keep making videos! I can't wait to see more.

[@jotun.616]

One of those aesthetics that puts a bad smell in the air. Like your grandmas closet.

[@Bluecho4]

As someone who is into tabletop miniatures, this game would make for a powerful aesthetic for Inq28. Mechanical looking bits, combined with Green Stuff sculptures to produce the organic parts. It probably wouldn't even be that hard to sculpt, even for novices. I'm suppressing the urge to make this my new Special Interest. I don't have time for this.

another lost game i wish i could play was from my childhood called INCOMING! it was released in 1998 and i remember playing it with my dad when i was 4. you can still listen to the soundtrack on youtube and its a banger mix

[@imPladdy]

i need you to make this but like 5 hours, this was such a dope video

[@BasementDweller_]

I love videos like these. Very groovy story to hear.

[@lysander4084]

4:41 - "boku no nachiyumi" - Aside of that the video itself is thoroughly researched, good job on that

[@feIon]

if anyone is interested in stuff like garage, i'd suggest you look into blue sango, pink gear collection, pink gear 2, incarnatia, comer, DJ-ROM, over-ring-under, VOID, rolypolys no nanakorobi yaoki and roly polys world tour. they're all similarly fascinating previously lost games that were almost completely forgotten to time :)

Deja Vu and Shadow Gate were very popular. The interface was done in a manner like "point and click." These titles released on the Macintosh, and later on the Nintendo Entertainment System.

I've added this to watch later, but for now I just want to say - this is awesome that you uploaded the video in 4:3 since it's about retro games. Not enough people do that.

[@pekk1399]

awesome video, i had no clue about this game but now im super interested

[@redwiltshire1816]

I really hope that ps1 style adventure game gets a full release these type of adventure games are so fascinating

[@marrymemikestoklasa]

jesus christ how is this channel only at 5.3k?? the production value is insane !

[@MeadowEdits]

Very good video. I like the choice to publish it at 480p in at 4:3 format.

[@migueldelcastillo7269]

Thanks for summarizing this game without spoilers, this was a fantastic way of understanding the situation behind this game. Got me to play it at least!

[@clockhanded]

Its eerie I was just thinking about this game. I remember a passing mention of it in an Oddheader video and couldn't get the visuals out of my mind.

[@feIon]

it was actually the first video game he ever covered on his channel!

[@Sam-mx6yh]

Great video! Very well written. I just went and downloaded the mobile version ^^

[@Tattootin]

Weirdly sound like dire trip. Not a bad thing. Dope creator. Good videos bro definitely subbed. I’m surprised you didn’t touch on “scorn “ since it’s like a first person adventure game doom mixed with a point and click?

[@nelinearni]

awesome video!

[@technodruid]

How do you define lost? I had my copy all this time....

[@themysteriousstrangerofnow490]

I legit think that this could be a sensation if it was more intuitive and rewarding for understanding in the in universe logic and changing the way you thought about things kinda like how portal eased you into the logic of well using portals or the fan game that uses a 3rd time based portal which completely evolves the rules of the game but it would not have been possible to play such a game if people didn't know how the original portal logic kinda like having a bridge from point a to b to completely different things but with the bridge it is so much more plausible.

Hey buddy, use proper punctuation or your entire comment becomes a hassle for people to read.. " , " " . "

[@zerofreespeech3002]

Dang bruh thanks for making this video I wanted to learn more about it but couldn't not understand Japanese letters and I love disturbing concepts like being half machine and flesh melded together in a horror esk way

[@AriScarlet]

Great Video. Thank you for convincing me to pick this game up on steam :).

[@PunkrockNoir-ss2pq]

ok weeb

[@AriScarlet]

@@PunkrockNoir-ss2pq ok

[@bradye21playsIndieHorror]

So "not on the Internet" means "lost"? Does that mean in 1995 everything that existed was lost at that time?

[@karasushiro2636]

this is really interesting, i hope you will continue vidéos like that ! Good job.
