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.

@@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 💙

[@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

[@benfletcher8100]

This and Among the Sleep are some of the coolest games because of the fact you play from a child’s perspective. You can easily make simple, unassuming things look terrifying because that’s how kids see things! We need more horror like that

[@thesorrygirl]

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.

[@zeetigner6718]

my heart dropped as soon as i heard the parents screaming at each other... any child who goes through that.. they don't deserve it. if you have, i give you the absolute biggest hug and all of my love. you didn't deserve that.

[@joshuachristiansen4253]

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).

Among the Sleep did the toddler thing many years ago, but I love Steelkrill's take on it. So many aspects tying into the lore for the kid in this one. Both games are fantastic.

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.

You’re what a man should be. Open and loving and affectionate and fiercely protective. Thank you for showing this to your young audience.

[@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.

[@pebsiburbger]

Love that the thunder genuinely scared me Reminds me of how scary it was a kid

[@NivaeliVT]

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.

[@Car-c3]

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

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.

[@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]

[@lilari6146]

True ​@@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.

As someone who had to deal with this around the same age, you never really forget. Almost 40 years later, I still remember the yelling, the crying, the abuse, and the beer cans all over.

Not many tend to touch on subject like this in the way SteelKrill does, each of their games have had the same harrowing effect, but are so well done I can't really say it is a bad thing.

[@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.

You're probably one of if not my favorite youtuber on the platform and i hope you keep making content like this forever

bro 25 comments in 24 seconds is actually crazy but to be fair it is IGP

[@Chris-im6mi]

Man this playthrough hit hard in so many ways. Going from feeling sad to angry to just completely heartbroken and the cycle continued. Thanks for sharing the playthrough IGP. I don't think I could ever play this game myself.

9:19 gotta love the disappearing couch

[@thedevilofmetal5335]

Did nobody else catch the couch just disappearing while he was looking at it?

[@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.

[@medigoomnis]

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

[@warstoriesofthe88th]

that argument reminds me of my childhood home...

[@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.

[@B2IONTOUR]

""i'm gonna go hug my kids and tell them I love them" makes me want to cry because the kid in the game didn't get a good ending but it almost feels as if we got "THE good ending" in a way IT JUST>? if that makes sense- We got how the story was suppose to end, with the parents hugging aiden and - JUST GOD DAMN MAN. To everyone out there in general and everyone going through somewhere similar to the game's storyline: You don't deserve what you're going through. One day, as shit as it sounds, you'll make it out and be your own person better than the type of people around you who did these bad things. I want this comment to serve as a reminder that being around bad people or being raised by bad people doesn't make you inherently a bad person. Shine bright and I love you all out there !

[@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

[@roserott]

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

[@laurhhhhn]

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

[@TheDragonForge]

The fact that it got to him so much that he had to go hug his kids is a real testiment to how good the story and the way it was depicted is

[@RICOFRITO]

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

[@Hisui-Zorork_BP]

I don't have a door to my closet

[@CUBES__]

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

[@omegalardax8546]

Hey IGP, you probably won't see this but, this game is really just something else, you talking about how it's hard play through because of the subjects at hand, I feel that, especially when you have witness the arguments themselves and see the outcomes; whether clean or messy. Bad decisions lead to bad outcomes, simple as that, so when someone who was meant to protect you, love and cherish you is absent, whether or not they are aware of what they have done, they still have left a scare. A mark that never goes away and eats at your head every day, their loss of you. I just wanted to thank you for all of the Vids, helps out when I start to remember crap like that, parts of the past. I sincerely wish you and your family the best, thank you again.

[@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.

[@brennantaylor1724]

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

[@RelativelyHuman]

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

[@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.

[@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..."

[@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! ❤

[@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.

[@mega2009man]

It's always hard on the child when both parents contribute to their well-being for good or bad. On average the father contributes to physical trauma and the mother contributes to emotional trauma. But this game got to the root of it which is mental trauma from the both. The father struggling to balance the responsibility and the mother not supporting him and/or putting him down which pushes him to the breaking point. Its why fathers are seen like this and I'm glad the game hits it from both sides 😔 really well made

[@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

[@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!

[@DefRealDefNotReal]

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

[@freddyfazbear6350]

I also love how safe rooms are not actually safe, cuz why do they have lockers. And when the monster arrived and IGP hid somewhere, anywhere, I realised that it's not just making the game more difficult. but also almost depriving you from safety. Such a good game with unique monsters and lore. The atmosphere is crazy!❤️‍🔥

[@tang5816]

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

[@ashleystahl7711]

Just want to say you and sometimes Markiplier are the only people I can actually take the time and sit thru an entire playthrough of a game. Only I do so with you so much more. Sometimes watching your videos I stay up when i should be sleeping because I literally can't stop watching. I am so glad I found your channel whenever that was. You've brought me joy and allowed me to be entertained while I've gine through bad times after my gf of 28yrs passed away. I don't have her anymore, but thankfully I've found you and that's allowed me to have a break from my emotions and be entertained for hour/s at a time. I'm truly thankful for your content. I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels that way. Its crazy how big an impact something like watching a playthrough can have. I just wanted you to know the extent your content can have on someone. It could be something small and trivial, but at the same time be very big and important. Keep on keeping on. You truly are the best at what you do in my humble opinion.

[@theartisticspartan4488]

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

[@ElijahAtchley]

This was genuinely difficult to watch. I teared up several times in the beginning, the argument, the kid crying... One of the reasons I like watching your content is that you don't make fun/light of games like this, you acknowledge how impactful it is. And I appreciate that.

[@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

[@Freakscene1701]

Nice to see IGP mention Among The Sleep again. That was the game that jumpscared him so badly he broke the window he was sat next to. Outstanding!

[@Mellypepper]

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

[@iceleak]

THEY RELEASED THE FULL GAME ??? LESSS GOOOO

[@CCON14]

Been watching since the generation zero days and the production quality of this channel is out of this world and has practically always been. Hitting 3 mil is awesome but IGP deserves much more for all the insanely well done videos

[@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...

[@mdk2301]

I love how IGP showed his care for children through this game. One of the best Dads to have

[@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.👍

[@510productions3]

these kinda games really hit different when youre a full grown adult. they force you to reflect in a way and thats truly artistic

[@shakaflip8263]

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

[@SZN_Crank]

I don’t know if this is weird for IGP, but I hope his kids enjoy his video and craft when they grow up. I know I would. Bless IGP, his family and their journey! Love your stuff IGP!!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@RexSpur15]

"Eat a fricken chocalate bar and shut up" That is probably the best thing you have said in this video 🤣🤣
