Dammit! I thought this was modded or something. I was really impressed and curious.

[@GreatFox42]

@@atlasrecordsrusdub Francis was where I started to get just a little suspicious, I admit. But a mod that makes use of a player's microphone isn't really an out there idea, and I could see a voice-recognition program being embedded within. While the conversation was smoother than would be realistic, I thought maybe Zacho cut out parts of the scene where the box would say "I don't understand" like an old text adventure game, in order to preserve the atmosphere. That still seemed well within the possibility to me. One of the reasons I was able to buy into this so easily was, as weird as it is to say, was the acting. Zacho didn't ham up what was happening. He wasn't acting like someone taking the game too seriously and acting like his life was in danger, like a lot of videos of this type. He was acting like a Minecraft mod showcaser getting some fun spooks. It seems like a small difference but it really does make the entire experience seem so much more authentic. Francis probably _would_ have tipped me off if I wasn't _already_ completely and wholly convinced it was legit.

I'm highly impressed with the craftsmanship. It's clear that a lot of effort and love went into creating this, it shows. The jukebox response bit was SO GOOD. I ate that up like a good ol' birthday cake right there, it was delicious. I'd love a series continuation, but understand if the budget doesn't allow it. It works great as a stand-alone as well!
