Good story telling is when you can genuinely see the villain become the villain. Wyatt truly cared for these ppl and time after time did everything he could to keep them safe and well and they ignored and minimized his concerns and when Helen got him suspended, he snapped. He couldn't let their negligence bring home death to his family and earth. I really wish we knew more about the illness tho, like what was it doing. Wyatt's decline to violence matches the bees for sure but what else, the shakes are neural so whats it doing

Yeah everyone looks like they just got killed, not death by virus or some sorta thing. Seems to point to the soil being a problem, the plants growing too fast and the bees getting aggressive.

[@MudkipZombies]

They were trying to use the plants to terraform, which I think is the word you were looking for. If the plants can grow on Martian soil then we could theoretically produce the gasses required to start forming (or rather reforming) an atmosphere around Mars which can then being to trap in further gasses like oxygen. Though because of the current lack of an atmosphere the Martian landscape has been saturated with tons of different types of deeps space radiations that our planet is protected from for about 4.1 billion years. This probably would have changed the soil, which in turn changes the plants. Then we start messing with things on a molecular level with growth compounds and we get unexpected and potentially hazardous results. Genetically modifying things we don't understand is a terrible idea lol. AMAZING Video series though! Loved watching it! Have you played both deliver us the moon and deliver us mars?

[@thefoosterchannel]

I have not but I hear good things! 😮

[@danielefabbro822]

Well no, solar radiations, X and Gamma rays are yes lethal but despite the continuous irradiation from billions of years, the surface itself isn't problematic. We can easily walk on the surface of Mars. The real problem stays in the fact that Mars is a planet geologically dead. So no magnetic field to shield up the atmosphere from solar winds. Without that shield, no atmosphere. No matter how much gas you pump into the atmosphere. Because Mars already have a tiny atmosphere, but it is so thin that can't sustain anything. That is what Mars can keep without magnetic field.

[@lflame8637]

Moons of madness (edit: corrected its name), its Ending sums everything Mars related up "f%&$ Mars."

[@Wastelandman7000]

Yep, we could unintentionally create The Thing (John Carpenter) by accident.

[@jean-lucfacade6219]

Mars lacks the requisite magnetosphere needed to prevent the erosion of atmosphere from turbulent solar winds, which is why it lost its atmosphere in the first place. If we were to terraform mars we would first need to restart the iron-core dynamo that generates the magnetic field.

[@TheLoos3Goos33]

As much as I enjoyed this, I absolutely was so frustrated when Jack knocks out Wyatt with the tank and doesn't pick up the axe right away. There is no reason to not take a few seconds and embed that axe in Wyatt's skull right there . That and never picking up a possible weapon when you know there is a crazy murderer after you. Also, I'm not a big fan of games like this that pretend you have choices with these QTEs but the end result is basically the same.

[@KaffiRawr]

I think the quick time events are not so much meant to provide an alternative story. They're more to keep the player engaged and have something to do, whilst also giving the player a way to fail the level.

[@DayKT401]

A rather interesting point to note is that having been in for solis longer than Jess, Jack never showed any symptoms of contamination. At least not that I can remember. Another interesting note to add would be how unsatisfying the end was, which leaves me thinking there’s potential for a second game or chapter or something of the sort which would be sick honestly.

[@No_Ghosts]

I was wondering if the fact he got his hand crushed would have something to do with it, because he wouldn't be able to see the tremors? idk the game seems pretty sloppily written, but there might be more to it that was missed in this playthrough

[@jamesweible5357]

I might be remembering some of this wrong, but this was encountered when testing people for mars and lunar missions. There is a mental disorder that people encounter when in a confined space which they can't leave. It often triggers violence and/or panic attacks. The first symptom is shaky hands. Someone not willing to admit that they were mentally unstable could invent an infection to explain it.

[@connorjohnson4402]

Yea but what about Helen? She would've been the one in contact with it the most presumably and shes never shown with any tremors or anything, Really think its implied more people are kinda loosing it more than anything, like what about the scratches on the vehicle doors? Plus I don't quite understand how Wyatt knows somehow the progression of this infection or what it might cause in the end stages of it because its not like he was treating or saw anyone that had gone fully through said infection. That or maybe he understands that the implied evil megacorp might just off him in the end, I was kinda wondering if they might've implied that the security team might really have been more of a clean up crew in a way, they had already been sending people to pick up the sample from the lab but when she made the call to Central they said that they wouldn't be able to get there for like a day but that call also alerts them somethings not right at the base and now 2 people outside that team were potentially gunna be looking around in the secret research place. Cause they somehow showed up there real quick

That's why if you're going to implement choices, IMO, it shoukd be all or nothing even if the changes are only minor to moderate

[@gerrycrisostomo6571]

I was expecting an alien life form as the real enemy, much like what the game suggested in the beginning. I thought it is gonna be a game similar to Mass Effect or something like that. This scenario doesn't happen in real life. If a psycho person like that harmed anyone, it would trigger an alarm in the entire community, considering all of the CCTV cameras that captured his crime, and get his ass arrested and locked up to prevent further harm to other personnel. Plus the fight scenes is unrealistic too. All in all the game isn't as good as it should be.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I think there was a point where they actually showed the claw marks on a door (I thought - I could be wrong because I have followed so many of Fooster's videos that I could be blending two together). Also, I would have bought this game had I not seen that even though Fooster made certain choices which influenced the game early on, when he put the controller down it was like nothing we do as players mattered. I mean sure, Wyatt ended up breaking Jack's leg instead but that's it. Pretty much everything was the same. I hope that is something they update soon as I would love to try this game out.

[@InservioLetum]

Maybe it's like Deliver Us Mars and the plot holes will be resolved in the sequel

[@BerryTrekkin]

(I’m a bit late to this series lol). So it seems to be that the plants are growing and dying at an accelerated rate, which turns out to be linked to growing them in the planet’s soil with the compound - the compound accelerates the growth of the plants, but the soil contains a virus that is infecting the plants (causing them to eventually die, although at an accelerated rate with the compound). When humans eat the food grown in the soil, they become infected with the virus. The virus causes symptoms similar to radiation sickness. In an interview with James Tinsdale, he confirmed that the “claw marks” were in fact axe marks from when Wyatt was trying to break into the area Nick was denying him access to (hence why he 3D printed an axe) - the whole “claw marks” theory was just the crew mates being paranoid about aliens, and Wyatt wasn’t going to reveal the truth.

[@ombrepourpre7562]

There are claw mark, just dents from the storm... The guy was paranoid and going crazy. Part from the compound yes, mostly from radiation and from his own twisted mind.

A spacesuit (which is what you would need for the surface of Mars--the atmospheric pressure is 1/100th what it is on Earth) should be hermetically sealed _and_ pressurized from _inside._ She should not have been exposed to anything at Ft. Solis _until_ she took her helmet off. There sure is a whole lot of "hey, wait a minute" in this game for me. Including the "on rails" presentation.

Maybe, the food that was produced in the greenhouse contained the infection as well and the food was sent to other groups on Mars, like Jess's group, to see if it tasted good? But then Jack would have probably eaten that food as well and would have gotten sick. Wait, there was a mention of a food pack of seaweed? Maybe Jack had eaten that while on Mars and it counteracted the contagion? Or maybe, Jack only had short and small contacts with the soil and therefore his body was able to build up an immunity to the contagion?

Not sure if it was the missed input or not, but in any case, it felt disappointing to see those characters make so many questionable choices. Edit: Yeah, just saw the last bit. It wasn’t the inputs.

If it's between Wyatt and the contaminated plants, then what are all the hints and logs about people hearing things moving outside the walls on Mars and the claw marks on the door that they were investigating? I just wanted more answers about things by the time we reached the end...

Love the story driven play through! More coop stories with Fisk please!!!

[@MJ-00001]

Nah Fooster trying to give me chills with that intro to the episode. Love the content keep it up! 🙂

[@Blackhart-7]

I was genuinely surprised by this game in the best way possible While I don't actively search out this genre, I usually see at least something. However this one popped up completely out of nowhere for me and I'm so glad I watched your playthrough. This was a blast!

[@GothicPhantom01]

i'm actually disappointed with the ending, they built it up SO WELL the first few chapters, I was expecting a virus from genetic tampering/radiated plant pollen or sap of plants grown from the collected radiated deep sample soil that humans then ingested from eating or breathing in to start physically mutating them (hence claw marks and door banging) Wyatt then killing everyone to prevent it being spread to other crew members on rotation and taken back to Earth to prevent mutated humans. I still don't understand why he murdered everyone else if it was just the contaminated soil samples that he could have destroyed. The shakes thing didn't make sense. Jess and Wyatt had it but Wyatt didn't explain it, and why no other symptoms? How was it supposedly transmitted to them if was only the under surface soil which Jess never went near before getting the shakes. The crew members were sick due to being outside for too long from general environment conditions. Jack was fine, no shakes, no nothing. The bees felt like a loose end, and the plants didn't look problematic or mutated. The graphics, voice acting, atmosphere and storytelling of chapters 1/2 were superb. The ending ruined it for me. Felt vague, rushed, incomplete and like another storyline team took over the end chapter and deviated totally from what was suggested was going on in the 1st chapter. I think it would've been better keeping Jack the whole way through, with Jess over communications, that banter worked brilliantly. There is a game called Moons of Madness which is very similar to this in overall general plot, except MoM feels like a more completed, well explained storyline with multiple possible endings too. If you were disappointed with the storyline ending in this, give Moons of Madness a watch. I'd love to see Fooster play that.

[@kookiedough5666]

I like your take on the genetic modifications being the cause. The virus might’ve been contagious hence why he went on a killing spree The shakes was just a consistent factor he diagnosed in his patients, it was a supposed ‘infection’ that wyatt just concluded from his researches how could he have it already analysed and explained it? Take Covid for example nobody knew what’s was happening and nobody could diagnose it immediately, it took a lot while to revise an inoculation so its not realistically odd that he couldn’t explain it. And the bees prolly the ones apart from the cultivated veggies that spread the virus to humans considering there was a log that said some of the crew members got stung by the bees

[@frogking5573]

yeah felt the same. seems like they ran out of voice acting money and needed a quick ending

[@Seanwins]

I loved the series, but the ending was a bummer. I think just an unsatisfying story. Keep doing more!

[@cadet1ice]

Still a literal glorified interactive movie with the deep story writing of "this thing bad, won't elaborate any further, time to kill everyone."

[@Omili]

Amazing game! It blends so well the storytelling with horror elements without making the game horror game. This is one of the most if not most realistic imagination of what could go wrong in the mars. The realism is so on point that curiosity overrides the feeling of being scared and thus making the game perfect for everyone who loves space related games. There is no scary aliens or horrible scenery with blood and guts everywhere, just realistic situation of something going wrong and mystery behind why that is happening. I really hope you try also The Invincible when it launches!

[@TJ-cs6vu]

We need more gripping short story based games like this! Loving this series 🎉

[@KingLoon3y]

Another?? Cheers brother-man! Hope all on up & mend at home 💪👍

[@Birdzlitlehelpr]

Yeah this story is just all over the place, so Jessica is infected by a radioactive plant, even though that plant was only just grown a day ago and Jessica had no contact with it? I suppose you could say Wyatt was nuts, but that ending was both dumb and an extremely unsatisfying way to conclude the story. 0 answers given to anything, please writers JJ Abrams is not the guy to copy for a good story!

[@darixenous_shadowscale]

Ironically, you actually got the 'good' ending in this. The bad ending is worse.

Really great story, so enticing, so good. I mean, i have no words. Suspence, thrill, mystery, science, fiction, everything i like. It was just a complete package. Mars is a place where right now a lot of research is being concentrated and making a game like this, surrounding the things which are gonna happen there. It was truly amazing! Credits to the makers, credits to everyone involved in this. Please make more content related to such thrillers having interplanetary content. Thank you so much. So satisfying

[@pushniqa]

So there is no real choice at all, kinda disappointing in that way. Like quick time events dont matter, its more about doing other stuff? But then the qt events loose all meaning idk. Plus the story is super open ended, they preferred to not give any detail at all about what was the problem, if any, with the last compound? It mostly sounded as if W went insane cause they left him out which is not a reason to go killing who you call your family.

[@TP-op9bb]

I think the ending was meant to show that there really was something very wrong with the compound since it showed the plant Wyatt sent home (same kind that Helen had) on the counter with blood everywhere.

[@connorjohnson4402]

@@TP-op9bb I dont think that is implying that its on earth but back in Wyatts room, If its supposed to be his home with his wife and kids why is there the photo of his wife and kids? Sure family photos and what not but its a bandage and like bloody gauze if they were implying that it was home and they opened it a prop of like and open box would've been much more effective at implying that. Plus you really think that implied evil megacorp that they are supposedly working for, or under, is just gunna let the guy who has been causing issues and potentially disrupting the research at the secret plant base just send a plant back home? i really think its more just Wyatt kinda loosing it, although I'm not quite sure how he knows what said infection causes as far as the symptoms progressing since it seems he's the only one that's really shown many signs and no one else has really lost it there or he hadn't treated someone that had it that had full progressed into whatever the end stage might be, at least as far as i could tell.

[@connorjohnson4402]

Oh and Helen never showed any shaking ot symptoms either and she would've been the one most in contact with it

[@pushniqa]

@@TP-op9bb there is actually a moment in the game where he says something like "I wanted to send a plant to my daughter, just imagine!" So I understand he didn't send it in the end, so what was the problem exactly?? I'm still confident it was in his head and he just killed everyone out of anger or jealousy or whatever cause they left him out of the project. Even talking about killing them he was more interested in being remembered in history, with buildings named after him. What a psycho.

[@TP-op9bb]

@@pushniqa He did send it though, because his narration at the end is a message he sent his wife saying not to open it, and one of the emails Fooster read was his wife replying back being all "you sent us something and now you're saying not to open it??"

[@NoBloons]

I just watched the other two today. Man, I'm binging this series. :D

[@huhwhot]

Really disappointed with the lack of consequences for the QTEs just because I was so immersed in the game - BUT if this was a prequel for a full-fledged game in the making, I'm all for it. They HAVE to release a longer, more fleshed out sequel after dropping this game on us with its phenomenal visuals and story-telling elements, and it would make so much more sense for the storyline to be linear then. The potential for a sequel is RIGHT THERE, with that epilogue, and with Jack undeniably going back home. Imagine what they could do with that- I just hope they do continue! Anyway, I've been enjoying a lot of your content Fooster, and I think I'll be here for a long time. Love how immersed you get, and the wholesome, cosy vibes you give off. Thank you

I read one other comment on this, and I’m glad also that you went back to see if things would have changed. I know in real life bad things happen, but I have to be honest in video games I prefer the heroes to live. Very disappointing that she most likely died. Keep up the good work.

[@TheScilock]

Great game play! The funny thing is, they never really showed Jess die. She just locked the door so Wyatt could not directly follow. Also, soon after, the two men arrived at the scene of the final battle. That and they left the story open for a second game with Wyatt sending something home to his wife. Perhaps Jess will come back.

It's certainly and interesting and atmospheric game. Even though it feels more like an interactive movie. I'm still a bit in the dark about what the illness was, and things like the claw marks. Whether that was meant as a red herring. 🤔

[@walterbryan1798]

Wow wow wow. What a game. I do kinda wonder exactly what compound 26 and such did to the people. Remember the alleged claw marks outside of the drill doors? And Wyatt saying “I’ve seen terrible things in the green house?” Anyway, an awesome series and a super cool game.

[@maxstr]

Her casual "staying calm" attitude after being attacked and seeing the murders really breaks the immersion. No sane person would just wander around unarmed looking for the killer (unless she's a psychopath herself)

[@bohnnyjoy254]

I definitely think you should do series like this more often! It was so much fun hanging out with you during these videos :D

[@alexhamilton3522]

I think what happened to Wyatt is something that would have eventually happened to certain people within the crew as well. In the beginning it shows Wyatt was a very caring person, that just wants to help his people and crew. Next we see that everyone in the crew seems to be brushing off his concerns. Then they cut his communications with his family. They then keep refusing to tell the truth about the situation. Eventually Wyatt finds out and confronts the team about, especially because bringing such a compound back to Earth is so dangerous. Then they suspend him, and he snaps. Partially because he knows that if the compound made it back to Earth it could harm or kill anyone he cares about, and partially because the disease or neurological chemical within it made everyone that came into contact with it eventually very aggressive. Just like the bees. Wyatt was infected with whatever it was because he talked about the first sign being a hand tremor, which in some of the videos he exhibits, so it just goes to show that he had been contaminated with the substance. In fact, the entire team was, as they were also showing signs of over-suspicion and aggression towards one another. An air of distrust was in the air. So we can assume Helen was definitely affected by it and due to the neurological stimulus to be aggressive, she actively ignored Wyatts concerns. If anything, it was a domino effect. The only one that didn't sound like he had been infected was Asim, so it's sad that he was killed off by one of the crewmembers that was already heavily infected by it (Wyatt).

[@theodoretay4805]

Thinking about it, the hand tremors might be a red herring for the narrative. It's a common symptom for stress, anxiety, tiredness, etc. From the audio and video logs, it seems that most of the crew were living under a lot of tension, might have been due to the situation with the power, ppl falling sick and the isolation of living on Mars. The whole infection thing may have been subconsciously fabricated by Wyatt under all that stress and limited information available to him. He knew Helen was working on something, he knew that ppl were getting sick with a flu outbreak and some cases of radiation poisoning. With the way the crew responded to his concerns, it is likely that it reinforced the idea he had that they were working on something that would cause sickness and was latching onto whatever evidence there is to support his claim.

[@krotalus74]

That was excellent. I normally don't like story driven games because there's tooooo much story, but this had proper pacing and sensible dialogue to go with the atmosphere and mystery. And the characters felt like real people. What I didn't see was what Wyatt thought was so terrible. I was expecting genetic mutations and big sharp claws, but no, everybody got the sniffles while Wyatt got full blown cabin fever and went insane. I'm sure this is not the last we've seen of C26.

[@GregSheard]

The game started off so well, it built tension and there was a fear factor. The communication between the characters was great too, but it all fell apart so quickly. The plot just got confused and became lazy. The devs probably got bored of all the walking around too. The ending was awful, and I'd be gutted if I paid for this game. Fooster did a great job of keeping us all engaged though. I was desperate for some type of alien creature and the game turning into like an alien isolation style survival horror.
