You Will Die Here Tonight: When The Title Says it All

[@Mankey619]

This game is indeed a modern take of Resident Evil Gaiden here. Glad that they actually brought back this gameplay mechanic back. This is why I love indie games.

[@AvalancheReviews]

It took me a long time to really see indie games as competition to the triple A space, but I think now I get it.

Not gonna lie, your story about playing RE1 with no memory card reminded me how I had something similar happen with Luigi's mansion when I first got my gamecube. We didn't have a memory card, so me and my bro just left the system on overnight when we slept. So in our first ever run of Luigi's mansion, we got to a Bowser then died. And hinestly, wouldn't trade that experience for anything.

[@ramdomgunner97]

omg dude I had a very similar first experience with RE on the ps1. my first introduction to these games was watching my older brothers play RE1 on the ps1 but I was too young and scared to try it. a couple of years later I bought RE2 to try and beat it myself but my brothers had lost the memory card by that point so for years I only played RE2 with no saves. while yeah that meant I missed out on B scenarios for the longest time, it was quite the hardcore experience that I look back fondly on

[@torshec8634]

Called it! Clones and super mansions! And gotta say, the D2 gunplay was a nice touch with melee combat, knife them like a mad man.

I truly wanted to love this game and was 100% I would. But... the experience has been underwhelming. This is a ham-fisted response to people who wanted more classic RE games. "HERE, HAVE THIS! THERE'S A MANSION, UNREALISTIC SHOULDERPADS ON TACTICAL GEAR, UNDERGROUND LAB, ZOMMMBIES AND PUNISHING DEATH!" It's all just too much and with no new angles. The characters seemed to be fun, you start liking one of them and then get killed by nearly unavoidable, scripted event. ...survival horror, I guess? This game annoys me by trying sooo fucking hard to be HARDCORE. I've sunk hours into RE games trying to get S+ with joy. This game just doesn't earn my time and interest to get through it.

[@LilyoftheLake14]

I legit thought this guy was actually Markiplier in the last few shorts I'd seen from him. Lmfao 😂 I was recommended this channel a week or 2 ago and just assumed Markiplier had made a shorts channel centered around his dog. The other thing that didn't help my misconception about this channel, is that Markiplier ALSO has a dog named Chica AND she's a Golden Retriever so Nala and her look similar! 🤣 They aren't identical though since Nala's coat has an overtone of auburn (reddish brown) so it's slightly darker than Chica's coat. Chica is a VERY blonde golden retriever lol. 😄 I absolutely love Nala's auburn toned coat! I may be a bit biased though because I'm a natural redhead with a more auburn deep red color rather than the more orangey ginger color (but I also like that color of hair, too lol) I think the reason I finally realized that this wasn't Mark is because of this short being filmed in a bright, sunny room. Plus, he's closer to the camera making it easier for me to (finally) see that he isn't Mark. Whereas the other few shorts I've seen previously were all shot in dimly lit rooms, with the camera being further away from him. So, I guess that at least to me, this guy looks like Markiplier if he's at least 6-8 feet away (1.8-2.4 Meters for non-'Muricans) and in a dimly lit area! That's a compliment though because Mark is a pretty cute dude lol. I'm also sort of curious as to whether or not I'm the only person who sees this resemblance? Does anyone else see it or am I just crazy? And did anyone have the same misconception about this channel that I did whenever you 1st saw this channel? 😋

[@AvalancheReviews]

I appreciate the comment, but I think there's a slight chance you meant to leave it on another video. I've been called a lot of things, but a Markiplier lookalike is for sure not one of them. HA!

This sounds like one of those games that is an absolute exercise and tedium. Where you either trial & error your way through a playthrough that is 4/5ths backtracking & replaying content or skip the middleman and spend half your time on the wiki. The kind that doesn't really seem like it was intended to actually be played by humans, and is instead some sort of DIY performance art intended for streamer content and video essayists. In the same way that only five humans who have managed to endure more than 3 hours between the two Fear and Hunger games, yet there are clearly hundreds of thousands of fans who are willing to spend days on end consuming content. Myself among them...

[@Roggor]

Got this game based on this vid. Was having fun right up until the giant spider boss. Its a DPS check. In a damn survival horror game. I'm still stuck on it after two runs and now I just don't want to play the game anymore. At least the first stage/encounter has it keep damage between team member deaths. The second one, that is like two rooms after the first, must be done in one go AND has a final attack after death so if you have no healing and are one hit from death you are guaranteed to fail regardless. There is no "getting gud" for this with me, I can't do it. Can't even refund it now either.

[@toddclawson3619]

Have you gotten the shield? One of the knights on the 2nd floor in the main hall has a shield you can get which does a great job at blocking the spider's attacks. It replaces your knife as a close quarters tool and you just raise it up whenever a monster is about to attack. It makes the fight much easier to the point I can usually beat it with just one person. There is a puzzle you need to solve to get it and you fight the knight holding it afterwards. I will post the solution a bit below in case you want to try and figure it out yourself. You need to have the medic check the pool table to get a series of numbers. Then check the chess game in the lab and match the numbers to their corresponding chess pieces. Then enter the chess pieces in the lock on the shield to get it.

[@andrewuk2781]

I really liked the game but I think there is a lot of potential that hasn't been realized. I feel like the little interactions between characters could have been expanded on a little bit more. I also wished the little hidden mechanics for specific characters (something affecting the team long-term) would be more prominent to make choosing each a bit more of a decision based on what you have achieved so far. Definitely something for the team to think about if the sequel ever happens. And I do hope it will happen. Also (spoiler!): you don't need to kill anyone at the end. You can just run around them.
