Transcript

00:00Oh, they're not talking.

00:16Oh!

00:18Oh!

00:22That's my little mutant brother.

00:30Hey everybody, uh, Nezuko here.

00:34I am about to jump into, um, okay, I'm about to jump into Living Nightmares, False Familiar.

00:49Um, got myself a good stiff drink, got my headphones on, lights turn low.

00:55Suggest y'all do the same.

00:56Let's get into it, okay?

01:00This looks like it's one chapter of a game about me at least.

01:05I remember that day clearly, or at least parts of it.

01:11Dad was dropping me off at home.

01:13Mom and Dad had plans for a date night.

01:16Alex and I hadn't known each other long, but there was something familiar about him.

01:22Something I couldn't quite place.

01:24Okay, this is supposed to be a similar game to Fierce to Fathom.

01:32Good evening, listeners.

01:33We're not this broadcast of an important public safety announcement.

01:41Authorities have reported an escape from the state passenger earlier today.

01:45The fugitive is described as a 32-year-old white male with dark hair.

01:52Aren't they always 32-year-old white males?

01:55Uh, oh, it's just a 32-year-old male.

01:57Okay, sorry.

01:58Well, he does have fair skin, so I'm guessing.

02:0132-year-old male with dark hair and fair skin.

02:04At the last scene, he was still wearing his prison uniform.

02:11The escape conflict is considered dangerous.

02:13Residents are advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity immediately.

02:19Though officials believe it is unlikely he remains in the area,

02:23please take precautions.

02:24Lock your doors, check your windows, and do not engage with strangers.

02:29This is a small town, and we look out for each other.

02:31Stay safe, everyone.

02:33We'll keep you updated as more information becomes available.

02:39Okay, I'm guessing this is my friend.

02:47What is going on with your head, bro?

02:51Can I move?

02:53What's going on?

02:55Is it the mouse sensitivity?

02:57It is.

02:58Okay.

02:59Sorry, that last game, the dinner.

03:01Scarred me.

03:05There we go.

03:05It's going to have to be a little higher.

03:12Yeah, their faces are really jacked up.

03:15Okay, how do I talk to you?

03:22Okay, hold on.

03:23There's no keys.

03:37There's no keys.

03:42Okay, what the hell is going on?

03:44Why can I not?

03:44Okay.

03:45Okay.

03:45Hey.

03:45There's some leftover pizza in the fridge.

03:58Just heat it up when you're hungry.

04:00If you want to make something else, the fridge is full.

04:04Pizza sounds good.

04:05I thought you'd like that.

04:07Now listen carefully.

04:08I need to tell you a few things before you go.

04:12First, your mom asked if you could do the laundry.

04:15Move your clothes and laundry basket to the washing machine and start the cycle.

04:20Second, after evening, wash your dishes and don't stay up past midnight.

04:24Got it?

04:25First, your mom asked if you could do the laundry.

04:29Okay.

04:30Got it.

04:32Yes, yes, I got it.

04:34Oh, and don't forget to close the door when you get in, all right?

04:39Good.

04:40Just a reminder.

04:41Enjoy your evening and be careful.

04:45Yeah, the controls are a little off.

04:48A little different.

04:51Anywhere did Alex go?

04:52Oh, I can get back in.

04:55Oh, he's gone.

05:12Okay, where is my house?

05:17Okay, hold on a second.

05:19Sorry.

05:21Let's see.

05:22Brightness.

05:24Brightness, bad boy.

05:25Oh, there we go.

05:26That does not help a whole lot.

05:37I'm not sure where my house is supposed to be.

05:44This isn't it.

05:48Q.

05:48Is this supposed to be my house?

06:12He's like kind of parked in between them.

06:14I had to take the flashlight from the garage first.

06:18Okay, so I'm guessing this is it.

06:22What the fuck's the garage?

06:24Oh, garage.

06:25Oh, garage I'm just thinking.

06:34Oh, there it is.

06:35Okay.

06:38Yeah, see how he's parked like down the road?

06:40That's weird.

06:42Very confusing.

06:43Flashlight, flashlight, flashlight.

06:51Oh, I got one.

06:53Okay.

06:53There we go.

06:55Flashlight, flashlight.

06:56Oh, it's useless.

06:58It's one of those flashlights.

07:02It only lights up your immediate surroundings.

07:04It's kind of skipping around a little bit.

07:14Key must be somewhere here.

07:18Aha.

07:20Oh, it doesn't seem to be under the doormat.

07:24You know, one of those fake rocks?

07:25Is that it?

07:29No.

07:31What the hell?

07:32Fire pot.

07:33Fire pot.

07:53Fire pot.

07:55Well, I mean, I can check the garage, I suppose.

08:09That's delightful.

08:39Let's go out there, maybe I can ask.

09:09Let's go out there.

09:39Let's go out there.

09:45Let's go out there.

09:51Let's go out there.

09:57Let's go out there.

10:05Let's go out there.

10:13Let's go out there.

10:23Okay, get it.

10:25Pick it up.

10:31Why is he not grabbing it?

10:33Oh my god.

10:35Can you pick up the key?

10:39Why isn't he picking it up?

10:43Oh my god, I'm getting pissed off.

10:47Okay, because the dot is off-center for some reason.

10:53Okay, the flashlight's gone for some reason.

11:15So I gotta find a bathroom?

11:25Let's go out there.

11:27Let's go out there.

11:29Let's go out there.

11:31Let's go out there.

11:41Hmm.

11:43Weird, I couldn't just wash my hands on the sink, but whatever.

11:47Let's go out there.

11:48Let's go out there.

11:49Now I can head to the kitchen.

11:50Now I can head to the kitchen.

11:54Okay.

11:55So sometimes the use button is the left click and sometimes it's E.

12:06Seems to be left click now.

12:10Okay.

12:13Do the laundry in time.

12:17That's not open.

12:22Light switches don't work.

12:26I guess I should close this.

12:27Is he still out there?

12:32Okay, he finally left.

12:37That sucks.

12:38My flashlight's gone though.

12:42It just disappeared.

12:48Oh, maybe I dropped.

12:54I'm a big fan of freedom in games.

12:58I really don't like being pushed down a rabbit hole.

13:03Oh, yeah.

13:04I don't speak Mexican.

13:13I refuse to press 2 for English.

13:18Okay.

13:19Laundry room?

13:20Nope.

13:21Laundry room?

13:22Oh.

13:23Okay, so I gotta take...

13:24How to get the laundry first.

13:25Is it here?

13:26Oh, it's a hiding spot.

13:27That's very fierce to fathom.

13:28Okay.

13:29So I'm guessing my laundry is...

13:32I can't remember what he said.

13:33If it was in a room.

13:37or a TV didn't work.

14:02alright

14:08this light switch went

14:12I forget where he said my laundry was

14:32oh there it is right yeah

14:39let's go

14:41hey you going right this way

14:56so he's lost his little brother and he just does not seem concerned at all

15:01does that sound right

15:08uh

15:10I mean I'm guessing it's locked it only opens and closes

16:49ok

16:50ok

16:52ok

16:53Apparently, that left arrow means shift for some reason.

17:03Not impressing me so far.

17:06The controls are making it awkward.

17:10Finally free.

17:11What?

17:18Any beer?

17:23Someone at the door?

17:28I don't see anybody.

17:41Oh, they're not talking.

18:33Okay, let's play some console in your room.

18:38Console?

18:39Yeah, you have a console, don't you?

18:41It felt odd that he knew I had a console.

18:46Almost as if he was stalking.

26:02Nothing's happening.

26:12Okay.

28:01Turn on Telemundo.

28:08It's done?

28:13Oh, come on.

28:17Probably the game programmers.

28:24Haha.

28:25That's a tiny ass microwave.

28:31Come on, man.

28:38I'm Koray Bey'in.

28:39I'm Koray Bey'in.

28:40I'm Koray Bey'in.

28:42I'm Koray Bey'in.

28:43I'm Koray Bey'in.

28:45I'm Koray Bey'in.

28:46I'm Koray Bey'in.

28:48Still won't let me in.

28:49There we go.

28:50Alright.

28:51There we go, alright.

28:53Aslında ben Koray Bey, Oray Bey değilim. Çünkü bu gözlük bende de var. Ben Oray Bey'in kardeşi Koray Bey'im, efendim.

29:03Oray? Hayır, ben Oray Bey değilim. Ben Oray Bey'in kardeşi Koray Bey.

29:11Bu gözlük olmadığı için beni karıştırdın.

29:14Kardeşim yani Oray Bey, bu gözlüğü taktığı için onu Koray Bey'im...

29:18Ya, the controls are super awkward.

29:21Ben Koray Bey, Oray Bey değilim.

29:24Çünkü bu gözlük bende de var. Ben Koray Bey'im kardeşi Koray Bey'im gezerdim.

29:30Can't open the door.

29:34Ben Koray Bey'im kardeşi Koray Bey'im...

29:38Oh, that's just me going upstairs.

29:41Oh, there it is.

29:43Oray Bey, bu gözlüğü taktığı için onu Koray Bey'im gezerdim.

29:47Ama aslında ben Koray Bey, Koray Bey değilim.

29:51Çünkü bu gözlük bende de var. Ben Oray Bey'im kardeşi Koray Bey'im...

29:55Oray Bey'im kardeşi Koray Bey'im...

29:57Alright, let's go.

30:27Okay, so that's the guy coming in, hurry up.

30:45Alright, so I'm gonna open the door, go out a little bit, but then I'm gonna run back

30:54in the house.

30:59Move!

31:01Oh, he's blocking it.

31:03Are you serious?

31:07That's not fair.

31:22Can I get in?

31:27I called the police.

31:28Just don't open the door, kid.

31:31I thought I was going crazy.

31:42I had to take my pills from mom and dad's room.

31:46Alright, so there is more game.

31:50That's the laundry room.

31:52That's gotta be mom and dad's room.

31:55Come on, close the door.

31:58Oh, it won't close.

32:00That's great.

32:01I'm taking him?

32:11Okay.

32:12Oh, let's go hide.

32:17Oh, wait.

32:30Come on now.

32:40Okay, I'm not feeling better because the music's still playing.

33:03I have no idea what the hell is going on.

33:26Oh, you have no idea what the hell is going on.

33:43I have no idea what the hell is going on.

33:47I think he's broken.

34:02Man, it's taking forever for the police to get here.

34:17Alex!

34:18Hide!

34:19What do you mean?

34:20Look, I don't have much time left.

34:22Hide, Carl!

34:23Hide!

34:24Oh my God!

34:27Look, I'm going to Mom and Dad's room.

34:30This is it.

34:36So Alex is like a ghost?

34:40Just gotta wait it out, I guess.

34:46I like that you can't see through the door like you could in other games.

35:03He's a mouse.

35:04He brought baby oil.

35:05He's a mouse.

35:06He brought baby oil.

35:07He's a mouse.

35:08He brought baby oil.

35:14He's a mouse.

35:15He's a mouse.

35:17He's a mouse.

35:18So he's a mouse.

35:21Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

35:23Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

35:33Okay.

35:44Thanks Bob.

35:51I can't say shit, he's out there, torsion closed, aww, save me, save me, save me,

36:21I think he's leaving, should I go out there?

36:51Okay, oh thank god, who, Alex, he told me to hide, oh.

37:19I see, tell me something, when was the last time you saw yourself, what are you talking

37:30about, think, where does the dream end and where does reality begin?

37:37It seems you've been running for a long time, but you can stop, just close your eyes, let

37:45go, it's over now.

37:48I don't remember much after that night, just images that flicker in and out, like a bad

38:04dream refusing to settle.

38:06The sound of silence, the distant murmur of voices, I couldn't quite understand.

38:12My parents told me that I was faint when the police found me, they thought I had gone and

38:18shot.

38:19I have never seen Alex again after that day.

38:22No texts, no calls, no signs of him anywhere, it's as if he never existed.

38:28I tried to ask him around, but people gave me that look.

38:31The kind you give to someone who's losing their grip on reality, I don't know what the room

38:39was real anymore.

38:41The man outside, the shadows moving in places they shouldn't, maybe it was all in my head,

38:46or maybe it wasn't.

38:49But one thing I knew for certain, I was never alone in that house.

38:56Alright, so that's it, y'all.

39:00Episode 2's coming out soon, I think it's coming out this month, actually.

39:04So, if that's covered, I'll definitely check that out for you.

39:08Let me know what you think in the comments.

39:11It's a solid game if the controls weren't so awkward.

39:14However, the last game, the dinner, was just an awful game all around.

39:19This has got some promise if they can fine-tune a few things.

39:26If you're going to ape Fears to Fathom, just use the same control set.

39:31That's why people are playing your game in the first place.

39:33They want more Fears to Fathom.

39:36Like Tales from the Tomb, Tales Beyond the Tomb did that.

39:40They aped all the controls in Fears to Fathom, so you could just go from one to the other.

39:45But anyways, enough of me bragging, or yapping.

39:48I'm not bragging about anything, yapping.

39:50Thanks so much for watching all the way to the end.

39:53And like I said, like, comment, share.

39:55Anything you can do really helps the channel out, helps us grow, okay?

39:59So, take care, and I'll see you all in the next video tomorrow.

40:02Bye.

40:03Bye.

40:04Bye.

40:05Bye.

40:06Bye.

40:07Bye.

40:08Bye.
