First playthrough- Highly professional police/counter terrorism operators. Arrest most suspect. Second playthrough- Delta Force on a black op. There were no enemy survivors.
funny because I always leave as many survivors as possible to build evidence for a case. But alas, if you know anything about cases like the dutroux affair, a lot of the evidence and witnesses in these situations end up "disappearing"
@@nimbletimplekins7601 >Building evidence As if his buddies aren't gonna bail him out. If I know real life, his best clients are even more wealthy than him.
Oh yeah, that manual safety failure. Yeah, glocks do that sometimes. Just firing when they should be on safe. (For those not in the know, glocks don't have manual safties.)
Forget the fact that he has his secret fucked up room, the guy literally made a selfeet contest on his teenage daughter's birthday party. Which means he was encouraging his teenage daughter's teenage friends and acquaintances to show him their feet. He couldn't even pretend not to be a creep.
Imo this is kind of smart environmental storytelling. I've not played the mission myself, but I could imagine that when you're playing, you're slowly building up a picture of who these people are as you're going "deeper" into the level. Certain things are going to seem kind of weird, outright inappropriate, or, even funny (foot stuff is kind of a meme) - but when put into their full context, it's like you were seeing the tip of the iceberg, but it's actually the tip of Leviathan's head. Like when I saw the foot thing, I kind of just thought it was the devs memeing. Though having said all of that, if you were going to raid a place like this, wouldn't you be told what to expect? So wouldn't the game tell you roughly what the guys being raided for? Idk
@@tommeakin1732 The briefing does tell you they are wanted in connection to cp trafficking. But it doesn’t go full in depth and most of the stuff you find isn’t mentioned. But there is context, people just ignore them lolol
[Prior to visiting Voll's basement]: "You're a police officer! You're supposed to arrest suspects! You uphold the law!" [After visiting Voll's basement]: "Remember: No Russian."
One of the creepiest details is the little symbols written on the tapes like some kind of sorting system, letting your mind fill in the blanks of what each symbol could represent.
The beauty of RoN's world building, it has enough structures to give you a rough idea yet it's vague enough to let you interpret things in your own way, amazing, don't you think?
I've heard trafficking rings have used symbols as a kind of secret code. Admittedly, it was only from hearsay, but considering how vile of a crime it is, it wouldn't surprise me.
I noticed another creepy detail today: teenage party guests sometimes spawn in the basement. Amos is prowling through his daughter’s friend groups to traffick and abuse them.
@@MrNuts70 Personally I'd say the grimness is debatable. Manhunt is definitely grim but RoN is dark in a way that's more relatable and realistic, like each scenario COULD happen.
Fun Fact: There's actually a pretty common bug reported by ReadyOrNot players playing "Valley of The Dolls". Everytime a first responder would clear out the basement and then enter the theatre room of the mansion to confront Vole, their primary or secondary weapon will always misfire multiple times in a row, making it physically impossible to detain him alive. Players do not know what causes this bug and the devs seem to be unable to patch this issue over the past few months. So if you *_do_* want a perfect record, try to arrest Vole BEFORE entering the basement and then make sure to not get him into your line of sight ever again until the mission ends. The bug also makes you misfire your weapon regardless if Vole has been arrested or is currently armed. So weird....
When I first played this mission I was laughing and chilling in a Discord VC while clearing the mansion, thinking this was just some white collar crime asshole. Then I found the basement... No arrests were made that day.
Even if Voll and his wife were arrested, I would imagine the lead investigator telling them the same words Rust Cohle told that one lady who murdered her kids: "The [media is] gonna be hard on you. And prison is very, very hard on people who hurt kids. If you get the opportunity, you should kill yourself."
This level is a perfect example of “daytime terror”. Honestly I think the fact that it isn’t in some dark location set at night makes it even more disturbing.
@@joaogomes9405I’m referring to the level as a whole. It is set during the daytime and the surface appearance is a fancy mansion. The darkness is underneath the surface both figuratively and literally.
@@SOBEKCrocodileGod ok, but literally none of the horror elements are happening in the mansion or in broad daylight. This is not a good example of daytime horror, let alone a perfect example.
@@joaogomes9405 the basement is literally part of the mansion lol. Also “daytime horror” doesn’t just mean outdoors. Like in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The dinner scene in that movie is indoors and you don’t really know what the time of day is until they’re outside but it still qualifies. Also there are horror elements happening inside and on the upper floors. It’s just subtle things that build up the final reveal in the basement. Disturbing things like Voll throwing hard drives into a bathtub and burning evidence, or him filming porno scenes with a picture of his daughter hanging on the wall and filming during her party. Also all the notes showing creepy behavior from him. Not to mention how any second you can get shot to death from around the corner by some VERY trigger-happy guards
It’s so sick and disgustingly fucked up, not because it’s such a terrifying concept, but because the concept is based on reality. It’s to the point of making my stomach drop and making me feel ill. When I first played this map, the most memorable thing for me was that I couldn’t finish my bowl of snacks. Never in my life has a game made me so uneasy that I genuinely lost my appetite.
@@magicman3163 He said who WERE arrested- obviously there are plenty free, but there are also plenty who've gotten caught and who are rotting in jail. And he'd pleased that those fuckers are likely going through hell in there since prison doesn't take kindly to pedos.
An interesting side-fact: The poster of LIVER4T hanging in Janey's room points to the DJ at the Neon Tomb map. This could indicate that Janey might have been there when the incident happend. Edit: Bolton has their vehicles repaired at the car dealership. The entire garage is full of them
It wouldn't surprise me if the mobsters had connections to Voll as well as Bolton, though realistically it could just be Bolton using their services as a way to form a beneficial relationship with them.
So sad that he climbed himself into the oven and was cooked alive, then shot himself in watch limb with a gun that shoots the same caliber as every gun the swat entry team was using, dying slowly and extremely painfully do to blood loss, then cursed himself to the deepest part of hell to spend eternity in agony. So sad he did that to himself
the security team has gone rogue due to lack of pay. voice lines direct to this. Levi Shank, the leader of the security team who is meant to be present isn't featured on the level yet.
I havent played the game much but its highly possibly new guards or new hire or some left while the others stat, we cant blame them for going rogue due to lack of payment n possible they seen that room, some of the peeps do have moral tho
@@noahsains6227 Precisely because they've gone rogue. They ditched the company and have become Vol's personal goon squad. (which is why he's paying them directly) The team is aware and mostly likely actively played a role in what was going on in the basement. They are all going to jail ........ or they could try and fight their way out.
I remember playing this mission with my friends. I remember clearing the barrel room and one of my guys goes, "Huh, that's odd." We kept clearing looking for kids. And then we got to the last room. I'm just looking at the walls, and it clicked and I'm like "Oh fuck. Oh fuck the barrels" "What's with the barrels? Where are the kids? Dude, where are the kids?" So we ended that mission with an F rank.
It’s horrifying when it clicks because you don’t see any children the WHOLE level the only evidence that they were there is the basement but then I look at the barrels and then i notice the flys around the barrels that’s what the game does amazingly and there’s a lot more it lets you see first hand
Looking at those barrels reminded me of that thing i saw, i think it was from a movie or tv show, but it was like a girl being trapped somewhere at a underground chamber with stone walls, and when she's "setfree" she was told to step into a barrel, and her friend decomposed was there... I don't remember where it was from but it stuck with me.
@@SOBEKCrocodileGod Why that case in particular? This whole "dissolving bodies" thing goes back further than that. Hell, Mexican cartels are also incredibly famous for their "sopa".
Your comment is somewhat stupid, i mean i understand it 😂 but it’s obvious that you’d get that feeling? I mean realistically using a more "childish" character like the mad hatter from Batman… he’s a chomo so you have the same feeling for him, it’s "nature" and it isn’t something new, theres lot of characters in media or videogames that replicate real life situations, theres no actual genius in this game nor the swat videogames.
Me before reaching the darkroom: "Why the fuck did they need a high-risk police warrant for this guy?" Me after reaching the darkroom: *magdumps Voll with no hesitation*
Yeah even if you pay attention to the brief that the guy is suspected of leading a CP ring, it doesn't really prepare you for the basement. Until then I thought the guy was just a rich creep who found an illicit but surprisingly profitable income route but it turns out he's a *creep*. And the worst part is I think it somewhat explains his estranged relationship with his daughter and recontextualizes the celebration of her 18th birthday.
@@averymicrowave1713 OMG same, I was like, ok, rich guy who dabbles heavily in the illegal stuff, like most rich people do, then I went to the basement, and was like ok, this is a bit much for just your regular CP distributor, but when I saw those barrels, put 3 and 6 together, I went back up and executed every person in the house, no survivors, I then reloaded and proceeded to do it again.
@@averymicrowave1713 I genuinely froze up when I realized there were children's clothing items around those drums in the hole. It's something not a lot of games would dare cover. And it's a very real, sad reality. Children vanish every day.
Finding the secrets and storylines in this game is...well i needed a break afterwards tbh. I believe the game says that he funded the daycare Daycare REALLY got me. Needed a goooood long break after that one
@@johnfkennedyofficialyteven his daughter’s friends aren’t safe. One of the teenage guys at the party spawned in the basement when I played the level today. Disgusting.
Especially now with the (limited) dismemberment system for shotgun damage, to the point the game won't even have prompts to cuff a body because, no head
Now, I am not the one to use video game quotes as justification, but when Joshua Graham said "if killing is done righteously, its a chore like any other" I finally understood what he means by that.
I love how the officers you work with respond to it too. Eli, Prescott, King, and Swan all say something along the lines of "God damnit now I'm really fuckin pissed off" or "Were too late god damnit"
hey! if you didnt already know, theres this console unlocker mod on nexus, witch always you to use free cam, this makes reading notes/other things way easier. and yet another amazing video
3:28 one time I breached the room and before I switched to my rifle she charged me and punched me in the face causing me to fire my breaching shotgun straight into her eye killing her instantly my friend approved of this action thus we could continue the mission but ended up getting killed oursleves lol
Honestly, even IRL it would be justified, she was being belligerent, resisting arrest, and intent on causing bodily harm to an officer, perfect justification for shooting your weapon in self defense
Don’t you think it is kinda stupid and that maybe you’re not that far away from those guys (mentally, even though it’s a game it says a lot about you)?
What i mean is that, some of them are nothing but body guards and to simplify it for/to a person like you let’s use batman arkham goons as an example, listen to dialogues… sometimes they’re not as crazy as their bosses and some dislike them but hey… they eat because of their bosses they have a roof above their heads because of their bosses so they can’t do anything
In this case they’re nothing but bodyguards and that people are nothing but servants to you, they don’t have to know anything, they don’t have to talk to you just like maids (even though there’s people who develops a friendship with their servants/employees or they simply vent to them or talk to their servants). Most of the people that do some kind of service like cleaning or bodyguard they know their places. Some are willing to beat the crap @f someone and threat a guy for something as simple as the other guy committing road-rage and going against you or flipping you off
Let’s go back to my point, they’re servants maybe they didn’t knew about anything because there’s the low level bodyguards and the ones that you trust and if you’re somehow dumb you’ll talk to them but it serves as a training for any occasions and possibilities so they’re "trained" on what to say what not to say and how to deceive the fed agents Maybe they didn’t know but when the time came the bosses went like you here’s the panorama and do your thing, that’s what i pay for you. So they have nothing to do but serve you, legally they can’t harm you as it’s not self defense and vigilantism isn’t a thing… this ain’t marvel or dc, and if you have a family in some kind of business or if you have some power and money well they know your level and that you can do something to them or their families because you have done it before. Sometimes love and respect is good but fear is better.
I wouldn't be surprised if Janey was abused by Voll or she caught Voll creeping on more than one of her students. As for Daniella, I think shes in on it. She seemed way too eager to assault and kill officers. If memory serves Romania has a certain reputation with trafficking. But yeah i think we'll see more of Janey, just hope the writers have something of a happy ending. And I agree, theres more than just Voll to this whole thing. There were way too many "provate security" that were pretty eager to open fire on law enforcement and aid in the murder of kids. I wouldn't be surprised if their whole company is in on the trafficking ring. Edit: As an addendum, I'm wondering if the collage in the dark room depicts Janey when she was younger. Im not sure when Janey's mom died, she may have written it as she was dying, when Janey was just a kid and as a sort of "hey kiddo, I love you and I'm sorry I wasn't there by your side but I'm proud of you" kinda deal.
That giant mural with all the horribly creepy “daddy’s sweet little untouched clean virgin” words has me thinking he at the very least has creepy lust for his daughter. It doesn’t help that it says “Princess”, and one of Amos’s voice lines refers to Janey as his “princess”
Considering Daniella will try to fight back and she has a letter addressed to the guards and being Voll's wife, I wouldn't be surprised if she was in on any or all of it.
Maybe a random malfunction mechanic in the game, or a "hardware" related issue just like the ones in mafia 3 and other games. I’ve played the game a lot of times, specially this "raid" because it being something that is real is amazing, i also gifted the game to a friend from spain and we’ve never got any issues like that.
I love the lore videos you are doing. Finally someone is making the grim dark twisted story that RON is and making it a public and easy to follow. I have tried to explain the story behind all the maps to my buddies before and they left more confused than informed. You have a great way of showcasing the story, making it entertaining but yet easy to digest, so thank you!!
I knew from the thumbnail alone how this was going to end up but my heart still sunk as soon as I saw those barrels and instantly realized that probably there were no children left to save.
8:33 The feet thing is probably a specific reference to a certain Dan S, producer of shows like iCarly at Nickelodeon, who had pool party "auditions" and a very obvious love of feet.
The feeling everyone here is describing, of going “no russian” or their weapon having a “malfunction” on Voll after finding the basement is the same feeling I felt for Lawerence Fairfax the first time I played the first mission of SWAT 4. I got the version of his house where his buddy wasn’t around, and he was actually upstairs for some reason, talking to his mom in the kitchen when I knocked down the door and filled the kitchen with CS Gas. So that’s Lawrence and his mom in cuffs, and now I’m just looking for Marissa Kline. I do the SWAT thing of having my element sweep and clear the rooms on the top floor, before taking point and going into the basement. I find the door to his room locked, so I wound up leaving two of my guys on it in case another threat came while I finished clearing the rest of the basement. Obviously finding nothing, I circle back to the locked door, and used the breathing shotgun to blast it open. I was already getting major creepy vibes from when I cleared his room upstairs, all the messed up drawings and the huge stacks of newspaper. Then I found his “studio” and realized what all the newspaper was for. Then, of course, finding that the half masked girl on the ground ISN’T the hostage we are supposed to be saving, and the relief at having saved this other girl from the “process” being short lived, I had no choice but to go through THAT final door. Then the literal tunnel of trash and horror, and finally…the holding room. I saw it through my Optiwand and thought “this…this can’t be real!” And with no thought for tactics I threw the door open. Seeing it through my “eyes” and not just the mirror, I felt actual bile rise up in my throat. Alongside the growing desire to march right back upstairs, put my M4 against Lawrence’s head, and do what we all so desperately want to do to people who are genuinely messed up in the head.
The Fairfax Residence messed me up for a while. The Voll Health House was still bad, but that stuck with me when I played it for the first time back in 2015 (I was fourteen). It gets refreshed every time I replay SWAT 4. The part that disgusts me is that there are police officers who saw that in the line of duty. Besides the fact that it's done at all that is.
I feel so bad for Janey. Her father clearly viewed her as a sex object and now with this in the news she will likely be ostracized for the rest of her life. Guilt by relation.
I played this map last night with my wife. Upon reaching the basement, we were mortified. She literally said "let's get out. I don't wanna be here any longer than necessary." The evil depicted in the basement permeates through the screen. This game is amazing at storytelling and atmosphere.
God, imagine being a SWAT member and hearing that through the headset: "I have good news and bad news, I found the kids." Let's hope Janey won't be viewed as a hellspawn thanks to her father's actions, she seems like a good kid. Hell, I hope Daniella will be okay, too.
dude, i hope you can do more of this! i heard in Tvtropes that RON lacked worldbuilding, so finding all of this is exactly what i wanted. Thanks for this series.
I always feel like RoN is playing in the nolan dark knight trilogy universe since los suenos is very similar to gotham city in many ways. There is just simply no batman here. Only normal guys doing their job. It's cool af.
I've never seen a situation like this in Batman comics, Dead children yes but SA'd Children then Killed No. Only seen that in Punisher Comics and every panel of such comics are satisfying.
I think that the barrels themselves has the children after he was "finished" with them. thats why there is so many of them and why he tried to bury them under cement
Imagine all the guests that were at his daughter's birthday party finding out what an awful monster her father is in the following days. The fact that he was seemingly a normal person to the people there and his family. It sends shivers up my spine
If I ever get this game and play this mission I'd likely not even bother arresting anybody and just go full Crew Expendable. The basement's not even that well hidden, and the gate is relatively easy to open from the locked side. I am willing to bet at least the step mother and daughter knew, if not suspected. One thing about corruption is that it is absolute. NOBODY in Los Suenos is innocent.
@@CantoniaCustoms more pictures of his daughter in various positions and stuff with words written all over the pictures. Stuff like “pure, clean, untouched” etc. If you look at it pre Adam update you should see it.
Worst part, as a trafficking victim. That room being there is not surprising due to my experience of doll being used as someone who was heavily conditioned.
Pretty sure that audio recorder was a kid saying "STOP! Please someone help me! Also I think those barrels might have some remains of kids....I wanna see an actual swat team play this and look through the whole mansion and figure all this out on their own.
Check out GLID gaming...they play Ready or Not and a bunch of other tactical games...they are Marines, SWAT, officers, soldiers, etc. Their videos are top notch and probably the content you're seeking 🤙
I remember playing this map for the first time, it's one of the worst things you can see in a game but I'm glad RoN doesn't shy away from the horrors that SWAT and other forces like them have to deal with in real life.
What's even crazier is as realistic as they've made this game, they couldn't show you the true depravity of what they folks see. It's hard enough to handle a well made, realistic game like. Real life is this and FAR worse. God bless our officers that have to jump into this dark world with both feet and come out to deal with some entitled Karen that thinks her life is hard.
Great documentation. Amazingly executed. I'm glad someone is doing this because I haven't seen any other videos breaking down the lore of each map... just creators dropping subtle hints to what they pick up from it. This video really shows the amount of effort the devs went into not just gunplay and AI mechanics, but deep lore that spans each room giving more and more details to a bigger disturbing story that reflects the horrors of real life.
I play this mission so that I can deliver righteous buckshot into the face of Amos Voll. He never surrenders, I never have to touch him by arresting him.
Ready or not storytelling is so impactful because it's subtle and it's realism, the fact that shit like this actually happens, and could be happening right under our noses, like the nightclub level, those phones, i'm from brazil and a few years ago a night club caught fire and hundreds died, and there were graphic pictures where it showed a pile of bodies, and on the news all first responders just talked about the phones going off all the time during their response and some of them couldnt take it in.
He's not going to court after I sent him to the morgue, I swear my shotgun went off by itself by accident, yes, all 8 shells found their way to his chest and neck.
Judging by how famous this guy is. It's incredibly likely my man's is gonna disappear when he's in prison. Ether from the other inmates when they learn why is he here or from another high-ranking official to make sure he doesn't talk.
@@thereseemstobeenanerror1219 yh given how the security is clearly in on it as well, he is either getting epsteined by the powers that be or 28 stab wounds by inmates
he'll be "suicided", as many key witnesses are in case like this. In the Dutroux Affair alone there were *24 different witnesses* that were either killed or died under suspicious circumstances
I audibly said to myself: "please don't let it be what I think it is" when you talked about the darkroom and the surrounding rooms. It's cool to see that the almost-abandoned tactical shooter has some lore behind it by connecting some of the maps! That's pretty cool!
The first time I played this mission I was with a friend who was also playing it for the first time. We cleared the whole house before we discovered the stairs down to the lower level, and he got killed on our way down the steps, so immediately after my buddy got killed, leaving me alone, I entered the basement and had to clear that nightmare alone. It was easily the most unsettling experience I’ve ever had in a video game. That final room made my skin crawl worse than horror games do.
Every time we do this mission, Vol ends up in a bodybag. If we have someone new with us and they ask why, we take them to the basement, and that's always more than enough for them to get the point.
While I understand why many people will tend to have more... "accidents"... after seeing the basement, from what I've heard about prison, people like that suffer far more in prison than by just killing them. Even prisoners hate that shit. So they'll ensure they suffer a fate worse than death.
Prisoners like those are called chomos. They tend to form a monopoly in the protective custody wing. Nobody likes them and they don't like anybody else. They will only eat meals prepared by other chomos. Prisons are extremely gang focused, and chomos are no exception in forming their own gangs.
Theres actually a few things about Bolton Security that I think you glossed over that I found to be interesting. See, you mentioned that "we don't know a lot about these guys." but I think that actually speaks volumes. Consider the note from the Bolton lookout, it is extremely meticulous in recording the coming and going of every single person on the premises, even trying to note who dropped those people off as well as drop off times. Unlike essentially every other faction in the game, there is no "fluff" or characterization in their writings. No little side notes to give them a hint of personality. Hell, they even notice the gardener possibly swiping tools in the midst of tracking evidently 50+ guests. These Bolton Security people are not your average rent-a-cop with an armed guard card fitted with fancy suits, these guys are absolutely professional, 100% business. Furthermore, we can see that these guards did more than just guard the property. They were entrusted to take (presumably illegal) packages for mailing and also presumably attempted to destroy evidence as soon as they got the first signs there was a warrant for the property. Combine all that with the sheer scale of the operation in the basement and there is no way they were not only fully aware, but entirely complicit in what was going on at the property. That all segways into my final point. When the police showed up with a search and arrest warrant, Bolton Security's first response was to violently repel the officers. I don't know about you, but I've never met a security guard who was willing to go toe to toe with a SWAT team with a warrant. These people, supposedly exceptionally professional security guards, truly feel that they can gun down a SWAT team and get away with it. There must be more to Bolton than meets the eye if they so flagrantly believe they are above the law. I suspect they have friends in very high places.
Remember, someone made this. Touched and sculpted every single, tiny little detail to collectively make all these details come as one whole picture, the entire property. Someone made the characters, all the ripples on the clothes, all the motion and bending (bone rigging), all the shapes, textures, who knows maybe they even had more fun (100% there's work that didn't make it into the game, or stuff sneakily made it in) that we can't see. It's one thing to write a book about a fictional story of this type, but it's on a whole new level to create it physically in a digital world with every little detail.
I love how two swipes from the wife can cause serious trauma. When I saw the barrels my mind immediately jumped to a mission from ghost recon wildlands, where the ghosts are tasked with hunting down a cartel lieutenant by the name of El Pozolero, aka the stew maker.
First time doing this mission: "Don't Forget. Our Mission is NOT to Create Widows and Orphans. Our Mission is to Bring Order to Chaos." Any future times doing this mission: "Mission is simple: full sweep, no survivors."
Interestingingly enough, i genuinely feel like her life wont get too much harder... Atleast if its based on real life. I remember a story where my friend knew a guy that was accused of 🍇 and when the school found out she lied... You'd think they tell her she cant go to school there, but they didnt care about the reputation she had, and the guy still struggled to finish school since he was expelled from his last off bs. The fact that the girl in the game isnt at any fault, and in fact done a lot of good, i doubt they'd have the balls to even think of not allowing her to join
I actually used this mission as a part of a project during Senior year last year during a forensics class I basically concluded everything youve stated other than the fact that I did find hydrofluoric acid on a cart in the hallway it sits right next to all the dvds with names on them.
That's fucked up. I was at first reminded of that mission in Swat 4 where you enter a home, there's an old lady screaming at you to get out. That's all above, and bellow, in the basement, there seems to be nothing until you open the back door. A man with a gun greets you, in a room with two matresses and mannequins. Around a courtain, plasters of faces and a metal door that opebs into a dug up cave that goes down and around. At the very end, another metal door that opens into a dirty room and teen or young woman resting on a matress, crying and in pain. That's it. That's the whole mission. It's extremely creepy. It doesn't compare to this one, but told a story and it was an awful one.
I don’t think a single person saw the basement and didn’t feel sick I think it’s important to remember that the people who do these horrible things are still humans. It serves a grim reminder to how horrible humans can be, and that we should be absolutely intolerable of such disgusting behavior. The fact that another human would do this is the ultimate betrayal of humanity.
That selfeet competition reminds me of how in iCarly the two girls had a uncomfortable amount of scenes where they do bare foot jokes. I actually stopped watching the show after the 3rd time, but I could never figure out why until I got older.
Just started playing this game and when i find this place i just go out and started blasting while yelling STOP RESISTING. I spared the poor birthday girl though.
Man, when we saw the photos it was disgusting already, but when we found the barrels... It was just shocking. Such a strong and unexpected feeling coming from a game "without story".
I really like that the devs are definitely not holding back with the disturbing details in the lore and instead portrays the world of RoN in the most grim and realistic way possible. They are showing the darkest side of humanity here.
I finally saw this room today for the very first time myself, since I would always struggle on this level. even though what was in the basement was spoiled for me, it still put a heavy feeling in my chest seeing it myself
When I first discovered the basement in Valley of the Dolls, I instantly understood that I must put these people down like the dogs they are…..no enemy combatants survived
When i made it to the basement for the first time, I was afraid that there would be SOMEONE down there, not a guard, or any gunman, just, someone. someone being held captive there, i was so focused on the pictures, the looming feeling of me and my squad not being alone, that, i didnt even notice the barrels being out of place. but now i know...

I believe this was a nod to Dan Schneider
Imo this is kind of smart environmental storytelling. I've not played the mission myself, but I could imagine that when you're playing, you're slowly building up a picture of who these people are as you're going "deeper" into the level. Certain things are going to seem kind of weird, outright inappropriate, or, even funny (foot stuff is kind of a meme) - but when put into their full context, it's like you were seeing the tip of the iceberg, but it's actually the tip of Leviathan's head. Like when I saw the foot thing, I kind of just thought it was the devs memeing. Though having said all of that, if you were going to raid a place like this, wouldn't you be told what to expect? So wouldn't the game tell you roughly what the guys being raided for? Idk

One of the creepiest details is the little symbols written on the tapes like some kind of sorting system, letting your mind fill in the blanks of what each symbol could represent.
The beauty of RoN's world building, it has enough structures to give you a rough idea yet it's vague enough to let you interpret things in your own way, amazing, don't you think?
I've heard trafficking rings have used symbols as a kind of secret code. Admittedly, it was only from hearsay, but considering how vile of a crime it is, it wouldn't surprise me.

I noticed another creepy detail today: teenage party guests sometimes spawn in the basement. Amos is prowling through his daughter’s friend groups to traffick and abuse them.
I love the worldbuilding they've done for this game, managed to make a game that's even more grim and twisted than the first Manhunt
YES
And without glorifying the scum of the world.

Hmmm I dunno about more grim than Manhunt but more twisted I can go with.
@@MrNuts70 Personally I'd say the grimness is debatable. Manhunt is definitely grim but RoN is dark in a way that's more relatable and realistic, like each scenario COULD happen.
Fun Fact: There's actually a pretty common bug reported by ReadyOrNot players playing "Valley of The Dolls". Everytime a first responder would clear out the basement and then enter the theatre room of the mansion to confront Vole, their primary or secondary weapon will always misfire multiple times in a row, making it physically impossible to detain him alive.
Players do not know what causes this bug and the devs seem to be unable to patch this issue over the past few months. So if you *_do_* want a perfect record, try to arrest Vole BEFORE entering the basement and then make sure to not get him into your line of sight ever again until the mission ends. The bug also makes you misfire your weapon regardless if Vole has been arrested or is currently armed. So weird....

Then I found the basement...
No arrests were made that day.
Oohrah Brother
Even if Voll and his wife were arrested, I would imagine the lead investigator telling them the same words Rust Cohle told that one lady who murdered her kids:
"The [media is] gonna be hard on you. And prison is very, very hard on people who hurt kids. If you get the opportunity, you should kill yourself."
Only cleanups.
no arrests, as there was nothing to arrest
Good job soldier 🗿
This level is a perfect example of “daytime terror”. Honestly I think the fact that it isn’t in some dark location set at night makes it even more disturbing.
Nah, it's just a dark basement. Which totally doesn't count as a dark location.
@@joaogomes9405I’m referring to the level as a whole. It is set during the daytime and the surface appearance is a fancy mansion. The darkness is underneath the surface both figuratively and literally.
@@SOBEKCrocodileGod ok, but literally none of the horror elements are happening in the mansion or in broad daylight. This is not a good example of daytime horror, let alone a perfect example.
@@joaogomes9405 the basement is literally part of the mansion lol. Also “daytime horror” doesn’t just mean outdoors. Like in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The dinner scene in that movie is indoors and you don’t really know what the time of day is until they’re outside but it still qualifies.
Also there are horror elements happening inside and on the upper floors. It’s just subtle things that build up the final reveal in the basement. Disturbing things like Voll throwing hard drives into a bathtub and burning evidence, or him filming porno scenes with a picture of his daughter hanging on the wall and filming during her party. Also all the notes showing creepy behavior from him. Not to mention how any second you can get shot to death from around the corner by some VERY trigger-happy guards
"Renember. No Nonces."
It’s so sick and disgustingly fucked up, not because it’s such a terrifying concept, but because the concept is based on reality.
It’s to the point of making my stomach drop and making me feel ill. When I first played this map, the most memorable thing for me was that I couldn’t finish my bowl of snacks. Never in my life has a game made me so uneasy that I genuinely lost my appetite.

An interesting side-fact: The poster of LIVER4T hanging in Janey's room points to the DJ at the Neon Tomb map. This could indicate that Janey might have been there when the incident happend.
Edit: Bolton has their vehicles repaired at the car dealership. The entire garage is full of them
It wouldn't surprise me if the mobsters had connections to Voll as well as Bolton, though realistically it could just be Bolton using their services as a way to form a beneficial relationship with them.
LIVER4T is also a parody of DEADMAU5.

I havent played the game much but its highly possibly new guards or new hire or some left while the others stat, we cant blame them for going rogue due to lack of payment n possible they seen that room, some of the peeps do have moral tho
@@noahsains6227 Precisely because they've gone rogue. They ditched the company and have become Vol's personal goon squad. (which is why he's paying them directly)
The team is aware and mostly likely actively played a role in what was going on in the basement. They are all going to jail ........ or they could try and fight their way out.
I remember playing this mission with my friends. I remember clearing the barrel room and one of my guys goes, "Huh, that's odd." We kept clearing looking for kids. And then we got to the last room. I'm just looking at the walls, and it clicked and I'm like "Oh fuck. Oh fuck the barrels"
"What's with the barrels? Where are the kids? Dude, where are the kids?"
So we ended that mission with an F rank.
wait.....
"TOC...we found the missing persons. Requesting hazardous material cleanup and, god knows how many body bags..."
Ngl that exchange reads like the “what’s in the box?” scene from Seven.
It’s horrifying when it clicks because you don’t see any children the WHOLE level the only evidence that they were there is the basement but then I look at the barrels and then i notice the flys around the barrels that’s what the game does amazingly and there’s a lot more it lets you see first hand
Looking at those barrels reminded me of that thing i saw, i think it was from a movie or tv show, but it was like a girl being trapped somewhere at a underground chamber with stone walls, and when she's "setfree" she was told to step into a barrel, and her friend decomposed was there... I don't remember where it was from but it stuck with me.

Don’t you think it is kinda stupid and that maybe you’re not that far away from those guys (mentally, even though it’s a game it says a lot about you)?
What i mean is that, some of them are nothing but body guards and to simplify it for/to a person like you let’s use batman arkham goons as an example, listen to dialogues… sometimes they’re not as crazy as their bosses and some dislike them but hey… they eat because of their bosses they have a roof above their heads because of their bosses so they can’t do anything
In this case they’re nothing but bodyguards and that people are nothing but servants to you, they don’t have to know anything, they don’t have to talk to you just like maids
(even though there’s people who develops a friendship with their servants/employees or they simply vent to them or talk to their servants). Most of the people that do some kind of service like cleaning or bodyguard they know their places.
Some are willing to beat the crap @f someone and threat a guy for something as simple as the other guy committing road-rage and going against you or flipping you off
Let’s go back to my point, they’re servants maybe they didn’t knew about anything because there’s the low level bodyguards and the ones that you trust and if you’re somehow dumb you’ll talk to them but it serves as a training for any occasions and possibilities so they’re "trained" on what to say what not to say and how to deceive the fed agents
Maybe they didn’t know but when the time came the bosses went like you here’s the panorama and do your thing, that’s what i pay for you. So they have nothing to do but serve you, legally they can’t harm you as it’s not self defense and vigilantism isn’t a thing… this ain’t marvel or dc, and if you have a family in some kind of business or if you have some power and money well they know your level and that you can do something to them or their families because you have done it before. Sometimes love and respect is good but fear is better.
I wouldn't be surprised if Janey was abused by Voll or she caught Voll creeping on more than one of her students.
As for Daniella, I think shes in on it. She seemed way too eager to assault and kill officers. If memory serves Romania has a certain reputation with trafficking.
But yeah i think we'll see more of Janey, just hope the writers have something of a happy ending. And I agree, theres more than just Voll to this whole thing. There were way too many "provate security" that were pretty eager to open fire on law enforcement and aid in the murder of kids. I wouldn't be surprised if their whole company is in on the trafficking ring.
Edit: As an addendum, I'm wondering if the collage in the dark room depicts Janey when she was younger. Im not sure when Janey's mom died, she may have written it as she was dying, when Janey was just a kid and as a sort of "hey kiddo, I love you and I'm sorry I wasn't there by your side but I'm proud of you" kinda deal.
That giant mural with all the horribly creepy “daddy’s sweet little untouched clean virgin” words has me thinking he at the very least has creepy lust for his daughter. It doesn’t help that it says “Princess”, and one of Amos’s voice lines refers to Janey as his “princess”
There is a note in vols room that was missed in this video. It's from his daughter complaining about the hidden camera in her bathroom
Considering Daniella will try to fight back and she has a letter addressed to the guards and being Voll's wife, I wouldn't be surprised if she was in on any or all of it.
Just for note: LiveRat4T is probably a play on the Famous Artist DeadMau5 which is pronounced (Dead Mouse)

I knew from the thumbnail alone how this was going to end up but my heart still sunk as soon as I saw those barrels and instantly realized that probably there were no children left to save.
Neither do we have any bullets to save after dumping them on Voll's corpse.
8:33 The feet thing is probably a specific reference to a certain Dan S, producer of shows like iCarly at Nickelodeon, who had pool party "auditions" and a very obvious love of feet.
You mean Dan “if you want a show, those socks have got to go” Schneider?
The feeling everyone here is describing, of going “no russian” or their weapon having a “malfunction” on Voll after finding the basement is the same feeling I felt for Lawerence Fairfax the first time I played the first mission of SWAT 4.
I got the version of his house where his buddy wasn’t around, and he was actually upstairs for some reason, talking to his mom in the kitchen when I knocked down the door and filled the kitchen with CS Gas. So that’s Lawrence and his mom in cuffs, and now I’m just looking for Marissa Kline.
I do the SWAT thing of having my element sweep and clear the rooms on the top floor, before taking point and going into the basement.
I find the door to his room locked, so I wound up leaving two of my guys on it in case another threat came while I finished clearing the rest of the basement.
Obviously finding nothing, I circle back to the locked door, and used the breathing shotgun to blast it open. I was already getting major creepy vibes from when I cleared his room upstairs, all the messed up drawings and the huge stacks of newspaper. Then I found his “studio” and realized what all the newspaper was for.
Then, of course, finding that the half masked girl on the ground ISN’T the hostage we are supposed to be saving, and the relief at having saved this other girl from the “process” being short lived, I had no choice but to go through THAT final door. Then the literal tunnel of trash and horror, and finally…the holding room. I saw it through my Optiwand and thought “this…this can’t be real!” And with no thought for tactics I threw the door open. Seeing it through my “eyes” and not just the mirror, I felt actual bile rise up in my throat. Alongside the growing desire to march right back upstairs, put my M4 against Lawrence’s head, and do what we all so desperately want to do to people who are genuinely messed up in the head.
The Fairfax Residence messed me up for a while. The Voll Health House was still bad, but that stuck with me when I played it for the first time back in 2015 (I was fourteen). It gets refreshed every time I replay SWAT 4. The part that disgusts me is that there are police officers who saw that in the line of duty. Besides the fact that it's done at all that is.
Just got RoN recently, this was the first map I played, decided that this would be a good map to learn the basics.
I was not ready.
I feel so bad for Janey. Her father clearly viewed her as a sex object and now with this in the news she will likely be ostracized for the rest of her life. Guilt by relation.
It's highly likely he abused her too
I played this map last night with my wife. Upon reaching the basement, we were mortified. She literally said "let's get out. I don't wanna be here any longer than necessary." The evil depicted in the basement permeates through the screen. This game is amazing at storytelling and atmosphere.
God, imagine being a SWAT member and hearing that through the headset:
"I have good news and bad news, I found the kids."

I'm glad someone is doing this because I haven't seen any other videos breaking down the lore of each map... just creators dropping subtle hints to what they pick up from it. This video really shows the amount of effort the devs went into not just gunplay and AI mechanics, but deep lore that spans each room giving more and more details to a bigger disturbing story that reflects the horrors of real life.
I play this mission so that I can deliver righteous buckshot into the face of Amos Voll. He never surrenders, I never have to touch him by arresting him.
Everytime I play, he does surrender but only after trying to *fuckin sprint* into the other room
I read righteous "backshot" lmfao
@@beejayxl9018 sweet revenge i guess lmao
Ready or not storytelling is so impactful because it's subtle and it's realism, the fact that shit like this actually happens, and could be happening right under our noses, like the nightclub level, those phones, i'm from brazil and a few years ago a night club caught fire and hundreds died, and there were graphic pictures where it showed a pile of bodies, and on the news all first responders just talked about the phones going off all the time during their response and some of them couldnt take it in.
I wonder if Amos is going to live to see the light of a courtroom or die in prison before he could.
Well, he's not going to prison because I "accidentally" shot him in a firefight
He's not going to court after I sent him to the morgue, I swear my shotgun went off by itself by accident, yes, all 8 shells found their way to his chest and neck.
Judging by how famous this guy is.
It's incredibly likely my man's is gonna disappear when he's in prison.
Ether from the other inmates when they learn why is he here or from another high-ranking official to make sure he doesn't talk.
@@thereseemstobeenanerror1219 yh given how the security is clearly in on it as well, he is either getting epsteined by the powers that be or 28 stab wounds by inmates
he'll be "suicided", as many key witnesses are in case like this. In the Dutroux Affair alone there were *24 different witnesses* that were either killed or died under suspicious circumstances
A dark commentary on our contemporary world's idols and "philantropists".
You should get the free camera mod! It should help with finding stuff around the maps!
I audibly said to myself: "please don't let it be what I think it is" when you talked about the darkroom and the surrounding rooms.
It's cool to see that the almost-abandoned tactical shooter has some lore behind it by connecting some of the maps! That's pretty cool!
Wait what do you mean almost abandoned?
The first time I played this mission I was with a friend who was also playing it for the first time. We cleared the whole house before we discovered the stairs down to the lower level, and he got killed on our way down the steps, so immediately after my buddy got killed, leaving me alone, I entered the basement and had to clear that nightmare alone. It was easily the most unsettling experience I’ve ever had in a video game. That final room made my skin crawl worse than horror games do.
Every time we do this mission, Vol ends up in a bodybag. If we have someone new with us and they ask why, we take them to the basement, and that's always more than enough for them to get the point.
Was anyone else’s gun on full auto after seeing the basement and going to arrest vole after
Oh so I'm not the worst swat officer ever for blasting him and his wife with 12G? Music to my ears
I killed thw birthday girl.
I 100% sure that if historia father died in the future she would take control.
No loose ends.
@@Bass-ef3dr thats... cold.
While I understand why many people will tend to have more... "accidents"... after seeing the basement, from what I've heard about prison, people like that suffer far more in prison than by just killing them.
Even prisoners hate that shit. So they'll ensure they suffer a fate worse than death.
Prisoners like those are called chomos. They tend to form a monopoly in the protective custody wing. Nobody likes them and they don't like anybody else. They will only eat meals prepared by other chomos. Prisons are extremely gang focused, and chomos are no exception in forming their own gangs.
Theres actually a few things about Bolton Security that I think you glossed over that I found to be interesting. See, you mentioned that "we don't know a lot about these guys." but I think that actually speaks volumes.
Consider the note from the Bolton lookout, it is extremely meticulous in recording the coming and going of every single person on the premises, even trying to note who dropped those people off as well as drop off times. Unlike essentially every other faction in the game, there is no "fluff" or characterization in their writings. No little side notes to give them a hint of personality. Hell, they even notice the gardener possibly swiping tools in the midst of tracking evidently 50+ guests. These Bolton Security people are not your average rent-a-cop with an armed guard card fitted with fancy suits, these guys are absolutely professional, 100% business.
Furthermore, we can see that these guards did more than just guard the property. They were entrusted to take (presumably illegal) packages for mailing and also presumably attempted to destroy evidence as soon as they got the first signs there was a warrant for the property. Combine all that with the sheer scale of the operation in the basement and there is no way they were not only fully aware, but entirely complicit in what was going on at the property.
That all segways into my final point. When the police showed up with a search and arrest warrant, Bolton Security's first response was to violently repel the officers. I don't know about you, but I've never met a security guard who was willing to go toe to toe with a SWAT team with a warrant. These people, supposedly exceptionally professional security guards, truly feel that they can gun down a SWAT team and get away with it. There must be more to Bolton than meets the eye if they so flagrantly believe they are above the law. I suspect they have friends in very high places.
How the hell does tis video only have 703 likes? You make really great, high-quality videos!
1:13 that ragdoll give me chills of how realistic it was
As soon as I found the basement and it's content, I systematically executed every guard that wasn't dead.
Remember, someone made this. Touched and sculpted every single, tiny little detail to collectively make all these details come as one whole picture, the entire property. Someone made the characters, all the ripples on the clothes, all the motion and bending (bone rigging), all the shapes, textures, who knows maybe they even had more fun (100% there's work that didn't make it into the game, or stuff sneakily made it in) that we can't see. It's one thing to write a book about a fictional story of this type, but it's on a whole new level to create it physically in a digital world with every little detail.
I’m gonna guess LIVER4T is the RON Universe version of DEADMAU5, lol.
"With a brand new Mercedes G-Wagon."
Proceeds to shoot the suv up
I love how two swipes from the wife can cause serious trauma.
When I saw the barrels my mind immediately jumped to a mission from ghost recon wildlands, where the ghosts are tasked with hunting down a cartel lieutenant by the name of El Pozolero, aka the stew maker.
First time doing this mission: "Don't Forget. Our Mission is NOT to Create Widows and Orphans. Our Mission is to Bring Order to Chaos."
Any future times doing this mission: "Mission is simple: full sweep, no survivors."
First time I died on this map was due to the furious fists of this… lady.
That’s not a lady that’s a demon Lmao
Interestingingly enough, i genuinely feel like her life wont get too much harder... Atleast if its based on real life. I remember a story where my friend knew a guy that was accused of 🍇 and when the school found out she lied... You'd think they tell her she cant go to school there, but they didnt care about the reputation she had, and the guy still struggled to finish school since he was expelled from his last off bs. The fact that the girl in the game isnt at any fault, and in fact done a lot of good, i doubt they'd have the balls to even think of not allowing her to join
I actually used this mission as a part of a project during Senior year last year during a forensics class I basically concluded everything youve stated other than the fact that I did find hydrofluoric acid on a cart in the hallway it sits right next to all the dvds with names on them.
4:10 I laughed for way too long 😂😂😂
Same 😂
What is that actually? I genuinely have no idea what it is
@@nonamejustbecause A really old used condom
@@nonamejustbecause its a used condom
@@nonamejustbecause probably used condom? Idk man lol
That's fucked up.
I was at first reminded of that mission in Swat 4 where you enter a home, there's an old lady screaming at you to get out. That's all above, and bellow, in the basement, there seems to be nothing until you open the back door. A man with a gun greets you, in a room with two matresses and mannequins. Around a courtain, plasters of faces and a metal door that opebs into a dug up cave that goes down and around. At the very end, another metal door that opens into a dirty room and teen or young woman resting on a matress, crying and in pain. That's it. That's the whole mission. It's extremely creepy.
It doesn't compare to this one, but told a story and it was an awful one.
ready or not tries too hard and it comes out as edgy than scary imo
@@czarnakoza9697 good to know that real life is too "edgy" for you
@@ntfoperative9432 nice zinger
After I saw the barrels I reloaded the level and put everyone there to the sword.
I don’t think a single person saw the basement and didn’t feel sick
I think it’s important to remember that the people who do these horrible things are still humans. It serves a grim reminder to how horrible humans can be, and that we should be absolutely intolerable of such disgusting behavior. The fact that another human would do this is the ultimate betrayal of humanity.
Whats more sickening is a film like Sound Of Freedom exposing heinous $hit like this and leftist shit cvnts call it " conspiracy "
TOC: Where is the suspect?
Officer: He "accidentally" bumped his head on a bullet sir.
That selfeet competition reminds me of how in iCarly the two girls had a uncomfortable amount of scenes where they do bare foot jokes. I actually stopped watching the show after the 3rd time, but I could never figure out why until I got older.
Just started playing this game and when i find this place i just go out and started blasting while yelling STOP RESISTING. I spared the poor birthday girl though.
this is a feature, if you see the basement and try arresting vole, Your character fires at vole as soon as seeing him
Man, when we saw the photos it was disgusting already, but when we found the barrels... It was just shocking. Such a strong and unexpected feeling coming from a game "without story".
I really like that the devs are definitely not holding back with the disturbing details in the lore and instead portrays the world of RoN in the most grim and realistic way possible. They are showing the darkest side of humanity here.
I finally saw this room today for the very first time myself, since I would always struggle on this level. even though what was in the basement was spoiled for me, it still put a heavy feeling in my chest seeing it myself
When I first discovered the basement in Valley of the Dolls, I instantly understood that I must put these people down like the dogs they are…..no enemy combatants survived
When i made it to the basement for the first time, I was afraid that there would be SOMEONE down there, not a guard, or any gunman, just, someone. someone being held captive there, i was so focused on the pictures, the looming feeling of me and my squad not being alone, that, i didnt even notice the barrels being out of place. but now i know...
THIS GAME BRO
