i ironically cried at the tv segment. The line “you look just like your father” cuts me deep. i don't hate my father, but i don't love him either. he's done a lot of things wrong and i can never forgive him for that. i don't see him as a parent nor a loved one...and it makes me feel angry at times. but every time i look in the mirror i see him staring back at me. it terrifies me. i live in a small town where everyone knows each other, and my father has a lot of old friends and acquaintances, and every fucking time they recognize me and go “wow, you look just like your father”...i want to cry every time i hear that. it's wrong, it's painful and im scared. i don't want to have any resemblance to this man, i don't want to relive his life, but everytime i fear that i will. anyway good video, man. Keep it up! I'm looking forward to more stuff like this <3

Really cool video, and very put together, that being said it's hard to listen to, I think your over pronouncing your words, and there too pregnant with pauses. It sort of verbs in my ears, I think it's a reading problem and not your voice.

As far as Fatal Frame 1 reviews/essays go, this is one of the better ones. The comparison to Kairo was very interesting and made it stand out. My personal favourite Zero game is 2, though all five games have something different they excel at that it's difficult for me to rank them. Should you get to Crimson Butterfly, I recommend you the comic Yokai Hunter by Daijirō Morohoshi. It's a short read, and very influential to Zero.

thank you youtube recommended, i loved your analysis and I'm excited to see what else you will post! I will give this a game a play whenever I can :)!

awesome video essay broski

Nice pfp

I think there's a lot of ways that people can process their own baggage in the suburbia zone. I don't think this was intended, for example, but a transfem reading not only works, it's pretty gutting to me. "You are your bone structure. Differences unite all the people who don't have them. Buy what we want you to want. Buy a gun. Lay in your bed and die." And there's little you, too young to realize you're different yet, almost too young to even HAVE a gender yet, in this incredibly gender neutral abstract presentation. Soaking up all the messages from the people around you. And then one last message: "You look just like you're father." I... don't, anymore. But I used to, I looked just like him. I heard that most of my life. I love and admire my dad, and I spent a big portion of my life bleeding out my inner child to be like him, because he was a good man, and if I had to be a man, I at least wanted to be good like him. But now it's the face I've spent 3 years scrubbing off so I could see my own underneath. I never want to hear that I look like my father ever again.

Hellloooooo I’m your 800th subscriber

I'll be perfectly honest, your review is great and the game in question was something that interested me a lot, but your voice is simply really hard to listen to, it made watching the video somewhat annoying.

I got 200 hours on this game

this game is so beautiful i played it like 10 times

41:03 you should be proud to look like your father if you liked him,

OH!? 500 Calibur Contract is the same dev!? Damn, can't wait for her to realize she's a girl

"my pain is realizing that, even though we've done all we've done, we are still the same and we live like our parents"

Christ this hit me in a way i wasnt really expecting. Being in my early 20's its rough man. And while I might not have lost my father to death, dude bailed on me as a kid and he's more of a blip here and there in my life. I get told I look like him, part of me wanted that and part of me resented it so much. I dont know where I am, but I think knowing that Im not him sorta helps.

Just found your channel on my feed with this vid. Great job. I loved the delivery so much. I'm a huge fan of the haunted ps1 discs. I subbed and look forward to your future vids!

A few of the TV lines are a reference to "the end of history" theory that the basic paradigms of modern capitalism are the peak of all possible human development, and society can only make progress by staying within that paradigm, because anything else is a step backwards at best. I am talking about this just because I remembered a stanza from a song that are both about the topic: For its the end of history Time's locked up and frozen still And there is no other pill to take So swallow the one that made you ill -- Rage Against the Machine, "Sleep Now in the Fire" The cycle the ending describes can't be broken by self-love. It's far too great to be ended by a handful of people escaping it. Thanks for the game rec.

your voice is hella relaxing youre so underrated

Please move a little away from the microphone and project your voice evenly and clearly

I really enjoyed this video. I would never have known about this game or had the time to play it. I’m interested in the other endings and what you have to do to get them. The personal part about family hit home with me and I thank you for sharing. I really hope you make more vids like this

Some constructive feedback - hold your mic farther away from your mouth and speak up. It almost sounds like you're whispering at times due to the overly loud sibilants and plosives. You also speak with a lot of monotone vocal fry. It all gets a bit hard to listen to for extended periods. It sounds like you're talking very quietly and artificially increasing the volume. If so, don't do that lol. Speak from the diaphragm and try to develop a "voice", you shouldn't be speaking in your everyday conversational voice. The narration is really holding back the overall quality, kind of acting as a bottleneck of sorts. It may seem counterintuitive, but audio is a lot more important to a high-quality, professional feeling video than visuals are - that is to say, you can get away with bad visuals if you have good audio, but bad audio will be your undoing no matter how great your visuals are.

Love your analysis and narration! The light growl in your voice has had me distracted at work 😅 subing for sure

Your narration is excellent and I'd never have caught wind of this game otherwise. Consider me excited for your future work :)

Also- the Statue is not a statue, it's a man with concreate shoes on and their neck and arm horridly distended. Idk what has happened with their neck, but the arms seem to be holding to something above water, probably the pier that leads to the submarine. With that- their dialogue sounds like some form of coping, as if they are trying to explain that no no no someone didn't try to kill them, they tried to see what's under the sea

I really like this game, even tho I have even less memories of a console gaming as personally I have been a PC gamer through my entire life. And even tho having more talking options with characters would be cool, having not much to talk with the NPCs is on point with the story and vibe of the game- a world with no past, manufacture by a will outside of it, made just for the now and yet you are tasked with giving it future. The characters can't talk much in such world, because they themselves have just a dialogue for the now, no clear past they can draw on. Quite fitting in my opinion, tho it might sound also like defending a jank of a cult classic, even if fixing said jank didn't make things worse And kinda, without hiding the certain supprised pride- a fanart I did for this game landed as one of the steam trading cards. I'm quite honoured Bryce had chose it amongst works of other fans.

god bless you for making this. 😭😭 i was debating on writing a script for my thoughts on this game since there isn’t a single video going over this game in detail up until now

There aren’t enough of these lower-key, atmospheric analysis videos here. I loved this!

Yeah the sequels imo do a better job of interrogating the necessity of these evil acts, would be cool to see your thoughts on them some day if you wanted!

You've got yourself a subscribe from me. Your quiet thoughtfulness is a deep balm.

This is a game that I've always shared praises of and genuinely have considered one of my favorite games period. It's hard to explain it to people, but the endings and their messaging (even if some goofy) were things I experienced through trial and error at a time I frankly needed to. The raw delivery and word choice and imagery ... whenever your at a low point, even the most unexpected of things can hit you at the right time. There's an odd comfort in an abstract, uncanny world one hypothetically can escape to providing real and raw story either directly or indirectly. It's a game that I hold extremely dear to my heart and I think I always will. Thank you so much for creating this video! It has been so insightful and interesting to listen to another speak about a game I care so much for.

I rly hope u make more videos I just binged half of your channel after the Fatum Betula vid, I love how personal your videos feel and I love revisiting things/discovering things while listening to your interpretations and explanations, that's how every ''essays'' or ''long form videos'' should be (I hate these terms but u get me loll). Anyway, It's refreshing to have something pop on my feed that isn't just another recap of something I could just play or watch, thanks a bunch and keep it up, you're good!

I followed this game since the demo disc, seeing more people enjoy it is a treat. Based channel will subscribe.

Love how people are praising and supporting a up and coming RUclipsr in the essay commentary side of content. Love your vids man ❤️

Bought the game 5 minutes into the video. I'll come back to watch the rest once I've played! Love finding new games like this one. Thanks for making this video ❤

A channel I've never heard of, with near an hour on a game I've never heard of, and the first 20 seconds show good editing and vocal performance? Oh hell yes, I know exactly what I'm doing for this next hour.

good video! hope you go far on this platform

This is a great video! Love your voiceover and thoughts on this game! I'd never heard of it before.

I just wanna say this is a great video and honestly this deserves more attention. Definitely gonna come back for more of your content man.

As someone who grew up having a ps1 as a kid, this genre has been a brilliant trip into how i think i remember feeling when i played them as a kid. Sure, the remakes and remasters can be a fun experience, having the games operate the way I feel like I remember it used to... great video

I have never even heard if this game but it looks really dope. The suburb portion was absolutely the most unnerving part to me because it felt so out of place but it still makes sense in this world. This was an awesome video! And for what it's worth, I thought your voice was basically perfect for it. Do you mind if I ask how you've listed a few tags in that separate section from the description? That seems useful and I never knew it was possible on here.

What an amazing essay! I never grew up with PS1 games, but the young dev did a fantastic job capturing the aesthetic and surreal horror. I can see him going places in the future and I can see you going as a video game essayist! Subbed and don't stop what you love doing

great video! great game! i genuinly felt chills once you mentioned the part about looking like your father and the game mentioning it. that kind of coincidence felt too purpouseful and ominous! cant wait to see more of your stuff in the future!

can you speak up just a lil bit? your voice is cute but it's hard to hear what you're saying sometimes. great video tho 😉

This was great, I’ve been waiting for somebody to make a video like this about this game!! I 100%’d fatum betula, it’s one of my very favorites. Definitely earned a new subscriber (: good stuff

I’m really high but I’m loving this vid so far! You deserve more attention

I wish there will be a sequel on the ps5 (if it sticks to the franchise roots and not woke ofc)

Awww shit a banger incoming

Thank you so much for making this. The cycle ending is my favorite one as well. It's really touching to see someone connect with what I put into that ending and the areas surrounding it so strongly, and watching this video has helped me remember and reconnect with the love that I put into this game. Based on a lot of the thoughts you shared in this review, for whatever reason I feel the need to recommend Anodyne, Iketsuki, and the film True Stories if you haven't experienced them.

Thank you for the in depth review!
