[@ohwhatsarcasm]

this shit hit me on a personal level, i OD'd on benadryl as a kid after convincing myself my parents would stop fighting if i was gone. was living nightmares for most of my elementary/middle school years as my brain was healing, and this game felt like it captured a bit of that feeling. solid work and thank you for being genuinely you throughout the playthrough, it helps ground the experience.

Goddamn, I'm sorry that happened to you. Must have been hell... Glad you're still around, hope that's all healed for you in all ways possible.

@@IGP I appreciate it, and to be fairly honest, yea, it was a hell that I still suffer the consequences of today. I consider myself very lucky in both surviving the experience, and finding the right people who've shown me that healing can look a lot less scary. It's honestly surreal just how much this game reminded me of my own audio/visual experience as a child, feeling like everything was so slightly off, and home being the place I feared the most.

Hello IGP! Ryan here, the solo developer of the game! Once again I can't thank you enough for playing my game! I know I mostly say this on every of your video but I really do enjoy your content and get excited when I see you play man, it's always an honor seeing you play my game. I really really appreciate it dude and it makes my day every time. I'll be honest and share something I never really did, things haven't been the best lately but that's a part of life. I was also rejected by bigger publisher who wanted me to make changes because they felt my games were 'too dark' and wanted to turn my game into something totally different. But I just want to create the games I’m passionate about and tell the stories I want to tell. As long as people keep enjoying them and as long as my health allows it, I will keep doing my best. I’m incredibly grateful for all of your support being able to do this, because it's the reason I can keep doing what I love and what makes me happy. So I just want to say thank you, and I appreciate you all really! I'm sorry I put you through that in the end, I felt kind of bad now haha but I am glad you enjoyed the game! 😊 Thanks again to IGP and to everyone else - hope everyone enjoys it as well! Feel free to give me any feedback as it really helps me out! Have a wonderful day everyone 💙

Steelkrill is so fascinating. They dont just make horror. They explore horror. The real scary moments of this game is all the trauma this child is experiencing and not the monsters themselves. This is real horror that humans experience. Not some horrific cryptid or anything like that. True genuine fear that almost everybody can relate to.

[@michellewallace5685]

I do appreciate you acknowledging that it might not be the dad who's bad. People always assume it's the men and sometimes it's just not. Apologies for being so serious for a moment.

[@catsgonom]

It's not always the dad. My dad is a wonderful altruistic man. My mother ruined his life with the divorce when I was a baby. She lives a much better life than him in another state while I live with my dad and we struggle most of the time.

[@ZeroXSEED]

Sometimes it's dad, sometimes it's mom, sometimes it's both, and not even being horrible, just flawed.

[@ashleydixon6122]

If you have watched IGP and Icy play Among the Sleep, which this game seems to be heavily influenced by, there is a twist that shows exactly that it’s not always the dad who is the monster, but the hero!

[@florpleborp2275]

In the US at least, mothers are almost twice as likely to be ‘the bad one,’ at least for the child. At least by the numbers. It’s most likely because mothers are more often awarded custody than fathers or some other factor, I don’t know. With that last bit in mind-It’s BOTH equally, sadly. I may be biased, since I had two mothers and they both were horrendous people, attacked by father for as long as they could. I’m so grateful he never gave up even after I became an adult. But the courts awarding custody to mothers much more than fathers also partly allows for mothers to get away with it when they otherwise might not. My father fought for me until I was not longer a minor and never was given custody. There are no factors that should have prevented him from being awarded custody-not financially, not medically, NOTHING. Too many stories of fathers fighting for their children and the court continues to say ‘no.’ And Dad gets blamed and might be handing over child support his baby may never see. This ignores many of the other family dynamics at play here, but this is a topic that I hold dear to my heart, forgive me for getting on my soap box.

[@ashleyjohnson9651]

​@@florpleborp2275the thing is, statistically fathers are likely to get custody IF they actually fight for it. the thing is, the way men are raised, very few want that sole responsibility. not that there arent any bad mothers that fight battles with good dads, but the reason a majority of kids go to the mothers is simply the way women and men are conditioned by society. women are ""supposed"" to be the primary caretakers, and its a thankless job that many men know they dont want to deal with

As an adult who has lived through childhood trauma for 17 years of my life. This game depicts my nightmares. We had a downstairs in our house. Every nightmare I had when I was little was of watching skeletons crawling up out of the concrete floor in our basement, and chasing me up the stairs. For me, hearing abuse (mental and physical) will make a child be afraid of either parent. So for me, this game isn’t one parent. It’s both.

This has to be and one in only game where you're playing as a toddler and experiencing what it like in their POV. They can't talk, but they understand things good or bad (toy wise, even though it a video game, pretty sure in the real world toddler's understand words from what parent's are saying to them by expression).

Just another reason why I absolutely adore you, IGP. I didn’t think there was another person like me who is so heavily affected by things having to do with children being hurt or scared or sad. Even before I became a mother, it was like that. I can’t even watch the movie Poltergeist because I am so viscerally affected by Carol Anne screaming to her mommy for help through the TV. I heard you choking back the pain and the tears in your voice when the baby’s voice came through during the parent’s argument. Being a parent just changes you, man.

[@squanchum]

Okay I just want to put my theory out there I'm only at 32:14 in the video and I can already pretty much guarantee you. That those mannequins they're like cutting in half or the red bear that lays there giving you items. Sometimes those represent dead bodies, but the kid in the game can't perceive where death is. So that's what he sees destroyed toys. I just want to throw that out there

[@z0ivy]

this theory intrigued me. With the child's limited knowledge of reality, what they see is made up of what they know.

hearing the argument, and the visuals and sound drop really brought back some ptsd haha. I have trauma from my dad, my whole family does, and seeing your parent as a monster is really what it feels like. Im older now, 20. seeing these games are definitely an experience again I find these interesting when people include parent fighting, it touches into many peoples hearts and minds. laying out what some people went through, and as that someone, its fairly well done. the calling out, distorted feelings, props to the dev. I like the many things you point out, like the distortion in the mothers voice. I know not many people would wanna read someone else's trauma, but these kinds of games really hit home, and they are done really well. and as usual, played well by our one and only IGP. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk, I hope the people who watch this video heal from their trauma, and know they are loved

If I was there the time you wrote it. I’ll definitely give you a big hug, patting your back and saying “It’s okay now…” I’m 36 today, but it’s still affect my behaviors when things related to him.

So a simple hug would be enough to heal. Fingers crossed for you.

All those slap made me jump on my chair in shock, thats messed up, its a horror game but man does it bring something good, awareness to something that should never exist. Also, not enough stunt for that trike man!

[@Raptured_Night]

Same to you, @R0seBird. This game definitely touched on memories from my childhood. I remember doing a reflective writing exercise once about how my love for horror stemmed from the fact that the idea of monsters in my closet or under the bed was less scary to me as a child because of the very real monster living in my house (my father). Half the reason I was drawn to the movie monsters was the idea of having them as my "scary friends" and what it'd be like if they were protection from him so within minutes of this video I was like, is this where this game is going? It's a very sad thing for a child to grow up indifferent to fantasy horror or even drawn to it because they've had a parent create real horror for them and this game has done a very good job of tapping into that childhood headspace I had and others may have had. For everyone else who has known that experience, my heart goes out to you and I also hope you continue to heal from that trauma.

[@lancepatchwork2263]

This hit me way too hard. The way the kid "dreams" and processes everything is almost identical to how I did as a kid, the nightmares haunt me even as an adult. Yet, I have no memories of my actual childhood, all I know is from second hand accounts, and extremely vague memories of emotional responses I had to certain events. Makes me wonder how much I've forgotten because my mind forcibly locked away the memories as a safety measure.

[@justacupcake1656]

So I want to mention this as I picked it up upon IGP playing and making up his mind on how the game would end, the Monster using Mother's voice was a smart touch. I believe it was a lure mechanism for Aiden to come out of hiding. Aiden felt secure and happy around his Mother, and upon seeing the ending, how Father was drunk and beat up his wife. Father still in drunken state tried to lure out Aiden with soft voice just like how Aiden's mother did. "Aiden, it's me. Your mother'' the monster using that probably masking the Father using those lines to lure Aiden out of hiding.

[@shemasmcguire3999]

[@finpin2622]

This game was intense, definitely some dark subject matter. I like the idea of ‘scary’ toys being good and ‘friendly’ ones being deceptive, but I felt like it was a little underutilized with the design of the monster stalking us being pretty much equally as scary as the toys were. Obviously you still want the monster of your game to feel intimidating but honestly, i think it could work if the monster was a little closer to conventional ‘cuteness’. (I say this as a kid who was terrified of Beanie Boos because of their enormous eyeballs, my dad used to hide them around the house and I’d get freaked out seeing their glittery eyes staring out from a dark crevice.) But plot wise, DAMN. Anything that covers bad parental relationships and how they affect the kid, goes right for my heart.

[@NurseRekka]

Story time: I VAGUELY remember daycare. Around 18+ months at least. I don't remember the circumstance, but during nap time I SOME HOW managed to go outside in the backyard and bring the sprinkler inside. Not sure if I brought it in then turned it on or if it was all ready on. The lady that watched us was a very patient Jamaican. I was a... sneaky (?) kid. Dad was in the Navy, so we lived in naval housing since I was born until about 4 years old. In that time, I managed to dump an entire paint can on the hardwood floor and 'hide' it under a rug, wake up in the middle of the night and eat a stick and a half of butter before barfing all over the hallway, set my dad's pillow on fire, and have a hot iron fall on top of my hand (which had me in a zinc lotion/ointment wrap for a bit). To my mom's credit, she was also caring for newborn twins while dad was working. I knew not to touch dad's handgun though.... I am an ELDER millennial (Xillenial?). My folks are boomers, rub dirt on a cut kind of people. So we sorta were allowed to run amok. I got all my dumbass moments out of my system before age 5... I don't ever recall having odd perceptions of things that scared me. Honestly, I think I gave my folks nightmares. T_T.

[@Aussie_Man]

I’m 20-30 minutes in and I’m putting in my theory, both of the parents are bad people, the Father is more physical, taking out his rage on objects, whereas the mother is more mental, physiologically harming her child by pushing horrible thoughts into her child’s mind. The intro/tutorial is how the child pictured what happened, the father being this aggressive beast that chases him around, causing the Aiden to run away. He is then found by his mother, who, very creepily, calls out to him, attempting to kidnap Aiden it seems, before his father swoops in and grabs him. They seem to view Aiden as a trophy, a tool to hurt eachother, not loving Aiden, only what they can do with him, not wanting the other one to have him because they love hurting them. I also see another possibility where Aiden doesn’t understand what’s going on, and sees his father as a bully, but he is actually trying to protect his son from this despicable side of the mother that has shown itself. This one is less likely though, since it’s similar to another one of their games.

[@Aussie_Man]

Well. I’m sorry Aiden’s mum. God, this game double subverted my expectations, at first you think it’s going to be the classic dad hurts wife, but then it completely flips itself, making you think it’s the mother who’s the villain, only to show it’s actually the Dad again. This is the only game I’ve ever watched or played that’s made me feel ANYTHING like this. I don’t have kids, I’m not married, I don’t even have a partner, hell, my parents are still alright with eachother post divorce. But this game, it made me feel like I knew this child’s pain and trauma. With red bellies hand sticking up at the end, showing that he’ll never escape his father mentally. I’m going to go hug my cat and cry a bit whilst I watch this again now.

It really hit hard and I have nothing but respect for you IGP. I wish you and your family nothing but the absolute best from the bottom of heart. Have an amazing night and I'll see you in your next video.

[@warstoriesofthe88th]

that argument reminds me of my childhood home...

Yessir

[@goodgamer7921]

Hell yeah!

[@pedrolorenzo231]

Yes sirrrrr

[@Femboy_hungy_for_twinkies]

Hell yes

[@medigoomnis]

Another classic IGP video where he's yelling about how to do something within seconds of it telling him in plain text XD

[@RelativelyHuman]

Wow that… got a lot deeper and a lot more psychological than I expected

[@patrickedger2448]

When I saw Fooster delve into this one, I knew it was a matter of time before it crossed your radar! This game is horrific in all the best ways.

[@nanaorihara9801]

Oh my god the parents arguing in the beginning was so realistic scary.

[@anthronox4992]

There's a game called "It's Just a Prank" where you snitch on your friend when her dad calls you, and the screams of that girl after that are horrifying. I don't get scared or emotional easily but that shit had my heart thumping. The game also forces you to sit through the call and screams.

[@CinderThePhoenix]

I watched Skilly play it first, but I've cried with both yours and his playthroughs. I couldn't possibly imagine putting my daughter through that. Christ.

[@PaigeRobins-ky4qc]

I hope you and your daughter are doing well today.👍

[@CinderThePhoenix]

We're doing well, thank you 😊​@@PaigeRobins-ky4qc

[@DemigodDeo]

This game is great and I loved watching you play it, the game has some minor bugs but that’s to be expected and I can’t hate on it because it hits home so hard

[@redheadplaya5658]

This game REALLY reminds me of Among the Sleep if y’all remember that game (also I just saw the sub count congrats on 3 million mate)

[@deathly_rage]

thats the first thing that went through my head when i saw it

[@novemberbravo6194]

First off, I cannot believe that this game was made by a single person. That’s insane! Second, congrats to Indy for hitting 3 million! Finally, Jesus Crimminy Christmas this game is absolutely terrifying. Watching the tutorial section I was considering playing it for my channel but after seeing the rest of it...Uh-uh, no fuckin way.

[@laurhhhhn]

I get so excited when I see an IGP video that’s over an hour long

[@notyourangel9]

This took me back to Among the Sleep, which is probably one of my favorite games ever played on this channel. It's so heartbreaking how this turns out. Another great video IGP! ❤

[@skpacman]

I was hoping you were going to play this. Among the Sleep is one of my favorites and this one looked like it was along the same vein.

[@skpacman]

While the premise of playing as a toddler is similar to Among the Sleep, this story is MUCH darker. I agree, though, I'm like 90% sure this is related to Stairway 7. Such heavy subjects in these indie games, man. I'm a parent of 3 and this whole story HURTS.

[@Suigintou68]

parents fighting ring real horror, this was such good video it made me cry, hearing horrible parents fighting each another, makes you think of your own life and such. good times and bad, keep up good work igp, love your videos man!

[@imhallyall3841]

This honestly made me feel so sad really. No child deserves to go through something like that. But the bad thing is that it happens to too many kids. I wish I could give that baby a hug. I just finished the video now and my god this kind of horror hurts me rather than scare me tbh.

[@roserott]

God, just from IGP's commentary you can tell he's a dad 🥺and a good one at that

[@Mellypepper]

Reminded me immediately of Among the Sleep. The twist in that game was amazing.

[@TheDjObscene]

Great game. That got to me. watching this before I get my boy from school. defo gonna hug him. Good stuff dude

[@shakaflip8263]

Dude I love your vids, keep it up🎉(I was in the middle of watching your previous fears to fathom vid)

[@AzziSenpai]

I know its an old game and IGP may have already played it in his times, still I would absolutely love to see a trip down memory lane and watch indie play condemned dude he would love it.

[@brennantaylor1724]

I wasnt ready for the trauma in this one. I almost cried at that last walk. Hearing the story. Dang

[@RICOFRITO]

The BEST time to watch scary videos is at night, by yourself in a dark room, with the closet door half way open...

[@R3TR0_R4T_0w0]

I don't have a door to my closet

[@CUBES__]

​@@R3TR0_R4T_0w0 I dont even have closet. I just hang my clothes on a steel rod in the room

[@aDisTracktion]

I watched Skilly's play through and he was ADHDed the whole game (his own admission) and even he didn't miss the chocolates at the beginning. I laughed so hard when IGP walked passed them 😂

[@ashleystahl7711]

You always have such insightful ways the stories could be going through out your playthroughs whether they end up going that direction or not.

[@tang5816]

I didn't even recognize this as a steelkrill game. Their games are always masterpieces

[@jamieennen964]

1:12:20 Hearing you so excited over the tricycle, it made me smile. Pure joy over the little things in sad storyline, it looks like a good game tho.

[@natalievannet]

OMG, watching you and Skilly play the same game separately is a trip!!

[@ralgore]

"The game is only 2-3 hours long...at most, what the heck were you using the remaining 4 hours on ? IGP: "Oh...uhmmm...you see, I found a crayon..."

[@ghostlybab]

This game is definitely going up as one of my favorites for story telling because wow, really amazing and I'd look forward to seeing more games like these. Also appreciate silence so we can hear the dialogues in game, really cool gameplay!

[@BubblyNotBubbleYT]

Bro says its a horror game like no other hes played for EVERY horror game he plays, and yet, hes right.

[@z0ivy]

hey IGP! i remember this channel being under 1m subscribers. Seeing more and more people love your tastes really makes me appreciate the community you developed. Happy 3m!

“WAAAAAAAAH, this sucks! Eat a freaking chocolate bar and shut up!” - Indie to small child, 2024

[@ashleystahl7711]

Yeah that was an amazing game. Your begining of a ramble was spot on. Thank you for the pleasure of watching you play.

[@Devul999]

This definitely feels like a spiritual successor to among the sleep. If not very inspired by

[@dysturbationX]

I was gonna say it felt more like a rip off of it, but...

[@ozink8603]

Same dev I believe! Edit: no it’s not asdgsgsg I was just being stupid sorry

[@GlawiousAldredMarci]

42:55 Imagine going into a daycare and seeing that drawn onto the wall... That would freak me out O.o

[@iceleak]

THEY RELEASED THE FULL GAME ??? LESSS GOOOO

[@homelander7875]

IGP's videos are all so good id sit here for hours on end to watch a video.

[@Meowz3r]

Watched this with my husband, we both didn’t have the best childhoods and were vowing to do it differently for our two kids. One of which I gave birth to last week. We both felt like shit at the end, just hit a little too close to home for the two of us.

[@PaigeRobins-ky4qc]

I hope you both are doing well today.👍

[@JThunder69]

I just wanna say that I've been watching your gameplays for years and you are so entertaining and amazing. I'm going through a difficult time in life right now but your videos are helping me. Thank you IGP

[@Cynic-0055]

As someone with not the greatest childhood, this game is super uncomfortable and unsettling. Which is praise for Steelkrill to some degree; the variance in setting/themes per game is so different and grounded in itself. Honestly pretty peak. A piece of art is only "great" if it evokes some kind of response from you...

[@lilacg4336]

Congrats on 3MIL IGP! I love your videos!🥳

[@nonethelessK]

The most terrifying thing is being betrayed by the ones you care and love. Especially if the betrayal is in form of something irreversible.

[@rin59]

My dream is to have enough money to watch igp in my own movie theater. The thought of it makes me happy as hell.

[@davidlilley2736]

I'm at 27 minutes and I'm starting to think that looks like some sort of laboratory for testing. Also I apparently didn't like daycare one time my mum spoke about the past and I apparently hiked over the fence and started to follow them home somehow so I couldn't perceived it as a safe place
