Flash warnings for those who need it! Tried to mark the flashes as best I could (being somewhat photosensitive myself). I tried to mark timestamps a few seconds before the actual flash. There are also bright lights sporadically throughout the entire video and starting at 33:40 until pretty much the end of the video is major flashing/moving lights. Flash Warning: 21:20, (lightning flashes begin not long after the rain starts) 26:05, 26:10, 26:30, 26:40 Just for good measure, here's some jumpscares warnings too: 21:00, 21:45, (last two are visual jumpscares with no change in sound) 39:00, 39:05

22:40 When arin said "no wonder this fucker doesn't go outside" it made me think that this game might be a metaphor for disability and a frequent lack of accessibility options outside, such as ramps or lifts for people who have to use wheelchairs

[@ray25lee]

That's actually legit what I was thinking too, and I like that it's the exact same amount of difficulty as it would be without the motivation to see that music artist or whatever, but he's trying to do it all despite the... slippery feet.

That would be awesome, but this game is so much more. Hopefully Dan and arin play more bc the story really is a wild ride

Honestly I have a physical disability and related to this game a lot more than expected! I have Marfans Syndrome which made me very tall and flexible, so my friends and I say im "wobbly" because of how my legs are.

The pure idea of a game where an incidental thing happens at the start that you can ignore and the game plays regular, or you can take the action and it goes wildly off the rails into crazytown, is on its own brilliant and I love it.

[@christianjensen2831]

Another game that I first saw the grumps play is The Stanley Parable, kind of fits that description. There's a ton of different endings depending on super mundane choices the player makes. Each "playthrough" is pretty short, so you can fiddle around and try the different endings without having to commit a ton of time. Pretty neat idea, and well executed!

[@AlleyCryptid]

31:26 Arin is talking about how 'maybe it's a deeper meaning' as in, every time the guy goes outside, it seems like everything from the people to even the very environment, is hindering any progress he makes. Not to mention how scary and lonely the entire beginning really is. Now seriously, this is a silly game at it's core and I could very easily be reading way too much into it, but I actually have crippling agoraphobia. It is extremely hard for me to go outside because of sound & visual triggers that are connected to P.T.S.D. for me. (the reason I specify this is because agoraphobia, or any mental illness as far as I know, can literally happen from anywhere, never assume 'you know' cause everyone has extremely personal cases or reasons!) Anyways, 'agoraphobia' is basically, I get really scared when I leave the house. It varies from shaking and having trouble breathing to not being able to move, which is dangerous. I know it's silly, but in a weird way I actually relate to this poor guy. And it's like the clown fits right in with my phobias. I'm just glad there isn't a guy made of holes or I might have shut down lol No but rly, it's eerily relatable for being such a silly, 'out of there', semi-fever dreamish game. Sorry for the HUGE novel. I hope the devs or maybe even Dan & Arin might see this. Dan is seriously my idol. I absolutely adore him. You guys are super inspirational. I wish I had your motivation, determination, support and friends. Oh, I made myself sad lol Much love!
