You have great content. Keep it up!
Hey, just wanted to say that this was an awesome video, loved the art, the nostalgia in listening to your takes on the games i've played my self and you sharing stuff i've never seen or heard of before.
Like Creatures Of The Fog and.... Beware ,OMG this done by ONE PERSON???? it is amaaaaazing!!!! even if it is by using kits and a prepped engine it must have taken so much dedication!
It looks completely unique and the concept you described seems epic, cannot wait until i get a comp that can handle this game.
You, yourself is not bad either, you have a VERY good way of setting this up and if you got a small team helping you, then it is an epic team.
Not that my opinion or judgement matters, but i live by a few rules as they were written in stone, never hold back a compliment, if i think someone is good at something, has good qualities, has done something good, there is enough ppl focusing on the bad and being judgmental on the internet.
I reserve that kind of criticism for fascists, and bigotry of all sorts, hopefully delivering one fist of constructive criticism and one of rage.
But this is about you, not me, so i finish this by saying that you got a VERY charismatic and nice voice and use it epicly well did you take lessons??
Kind regards,
Solo - Sweden
What's the music from 17:33? I've checked that it's right after Zerofuturism - Edelweiss, but Akira Yamaoka - Pianissimo Epilogue has piano instead of synth
@@tickledonions9483 here is the exact version I used: ruclips.net/video/bj_g0rpcRJk/видео.htmlfeature=shared
A ad every 5 mins yeah nty unsubbing
My favorite was the pictures of giant creatures looming and walking in the distance, it gives me a feeling I can't explain, it's almost as if a portal was opened from another dimension
It's a combination of megalophobia and lovecraftian horror
i love those too
@@grandduchyoflovendara3516 i like the one with the kids in a playground staring at a giant skeleton with glowing eyes
in the distance.
Why does it have the same thumbnail as MoonProd’s Creatures of the End Time?
You might like The Mist, a film based on the Stephen King story
Thank you for this documentary on the most peaceful wildlife of Idaho
Fuck me that’s hilarious
this comment is severely underrated
this guy gets it
😂😂😂
And I live in idaho 🤣
When I was a small child I used to vividly imagine gargantuan, grotest, otherworldly creatures just on the fog of the horizon as I rode in the car in the mornings. So you can imagine how much I love these things.
Me too lol
Literally same
Same
Same! Also heads up, it’s “grotesque,” not “grotest.” People often say it as “grotest” so it’s an easy mistake to make! Just thought I’d let you know.
Yall are weird, I had a parkour guy that ran along the powerlines
Creatures of the fog is depiction of how ants or other bugs must feel when they see humans.
Yooo that just hit hard
They cant see humans, their vision cant encompass an entire human being.
I actually never thought of it that way, but that's an interesting thought. Because some people keep certain insects as pets, I've read about people asking if their insects "recognize" them. Depending on the insect, it seems that the general consensus is that because you're so large, they don't exactly recognize you as another entity. You're more like a landscape, or a place to visit, for them. And they learn to associate that "place" with positive things. So the next time you put down a finger, they go "oh cool! I can visit flesh world! I always get cool stuff in Flesh world!"
@@urphakeandgey6308 i think insects do recognize you as a entity, they are evolutionairy required to be wary of larger beings, even if a living creauture was the size of a skyscraper a smaller one would definitely recognize its another creature because it must to survive, insects don't bite for no reason and they don't bite inanimate objects. they can also detect us by scent. insects know larger creatures exist, humans lucked out at being around the bigger end as theres nothing really that big enough, a interior of a dead blue whale is big enough to travel inside of but its still an animal. trees are living creatures but we see them moreso as parts of the enviroment like rocks
Unfortunately, I don't think bugs can see with enough resolution to be sure of how you "look".
When the smoke from the Canadian wildfires came through my area, it literally turned the sun dark orange. The reflected light, even midday, looked like from streetlights. It was creepy as hell
I called it “blood sun, end of days”.
RED SUN, RED SUN OVER PARADISE
@@SPEEDOPHILE116BRING RULE TO THE GLORIOUS SUNSHINE
I have always loved Zdzisław Beksiński's art work, and the way Carbon explained the feeling of his work was spot on to the way I've felt when viewing his painting.
As a technical writer I think Beksinski's use of text is some of the scarriest when it does show up. Forget about two sentence horror, he might only need one word.
There's always something fascinating about a world like Little Nightmares 2. It has clear signs that it used to function and all the people were fine, but now it's just a twisted shadow of what it was, where even the buildings in the city are unnaturally falling over like physics itself is in decay.
my theory is that the world was destroyed by the signal tower which mutated every living thing in this world, including the "children" protagonists.
@@foxpro3002 yeah it's implied by hints throughout the game that the giant blob of eyes and flesh at the end is actually what became of all the people, such as those whose clothes are just discarded like they suddenly vanished.
@@MikeCrain yeah and that was still all caused by the signal tower so I fail to see your point.
@@foxpro3002CALM. DOWN…..NOW.
@@slapthemsilly8296LOL perfect response to stop a nothing argument in its tracks.
The movie The mist almost captures this feeling of seeing eldritch horrors in a limited field of view but gives off more feelings of fear and hopelessness.
i was gonna say this if nobody had mentioned it. the music is so ethereal too
genuinely the most underrated channel around right now. can't wait to see you blow up my guy
Thank u bro!!
Yoo hey T6!
Highly underrated for some reason.
Damn a shout out from T6. Nice
fr
Creatures of the Fog is amazing. I think the fourth installment came out late last year. I love the idea of it.
THE FOG IS COMING
sounds cool if its anything like The Mist im in
@@seamen_goyohobronot really but it's definitely worth checking out
woohoo
Indeed. The guy behind it is amazing and extremely talented.
Gonna echo everyone else… genuinely the most well put together/cinematic docs on RUclips. Respect and admiration.
8:00 the music with the view of the unknown creature walking in the distance next to a tornado & the shots of the shadows on the building walls is really fascinating to me & seems almost, peaceful. Like we weren’t meant to be there & the universe is getting back at us by getting rid of us.
Probably just the music but I feel at a sense of peace seeing these images. Some of my favorite moments are being completely alone staring into nature.
Agreed. I just wrote the same thing in my own comment, it's such a nice sense of calm.
Where he get the music?
@@magicman3163Ur mom
@@magicman3163 haha you got fkn dunked on L
My favorite is the music playing while the huge Eldridge abomination is walking next to the tornado
Idk why, but these dying worlds feel more calming than terrifying to me. It's like "You've made to the end, Congratulations! Now here's a front row seat to watch the rest of the end". It's the feeling you get when you have an hour left at work. The idea of no more responsibilities, expectations, judging, labels etc. There's nothing more I HAVE to do so might as well end it now. But, if I was able to see a being like the one at 5:50 swimming in the sky. I think it would be worth living a couple more years to see what else happens.
So very true. Imminent death can be very freeing
absolutely love beksinskis art. my dad had a book of his pieces on a bookshelf in our kitchen, and growing up i always used to look at it when i was bored. disturbed the shit out of me as an 8 year old kid, but the art always stuck with me, it left me with feelings and memories i could never quite shake. recently rediscovered his art and am so glad i did, the time and effort that must be put into those pieces is incredible. was really cool of you to mention him in this video as i dont often see his work talked about. great channel.
do you ever look at his photography? sadist's corset always feels striking to me
I really enjoyed watching this.
Thank you for bringing an aesthetic thats so personal and close to so many souls
Exactly my thoughts. It's just perfect, I love these aesthetics.
Aaaa I love stuff like this! I don't like your typical jumpscare over the top horror. But rather this, lonely, desolate, mysterious, cosmic horror.
I feel a bit like this way, but with a more melancholic and less mysterious atmosphere, when I'm travelling through the fallen kingdom of Hallownest in Hollow Knight, especially in the City of Tears: there is this sense of a desolated place, extinguished by its own ambition of greatness, where only the lost dreams and hopes of these abandoned subjects remain and spread out of their empty shells, like whispers that vanish before no one can hear them. And when we cross these rainy and lonely streets, we feel a profound nostalgia from the golden age of this place, a time, however, that we never lived...it feels the same way as when we encounter ancient ruins of a distant past, a miserable and pathetic scene compared to its passed prosperity
Hollowknight is the perfect incarnation of the phrase "beautiful melancholy". There's this oppressive sense of melancholy and decay that envelops the game, but it's doesn't necessarily feel negative. The area that captures this feeling the most is probably kingdom's edge, the music there is just celestial.
Or maybe the end cities and strongholds in minecraft, add onto those the desert temples...
Multiple games have this... "thing", when they snort a pound of- ho tf did bstchld call it- _cocaìna colombìana_ and just... go HARD on the whole "show dont tell"
Trust me

No cost too great.
Woah you write beautifully
Your punctuation is trash, use more "."
I'm always very happy to see this kind of chill video style. Its kinda of hypnotic, conforting like an old friend telling you a nice story with the perfect mood set. I just feel so relaxed. Honestly great job and as you said in the end. Soon.
I was looking for the artist for the Loneliness section for a while, and I finally found the artist, this is also for anyone who wanted to know, but had trouble hearing the name pronounced in the video, like me.
Artist:
Zdzisław Beksiński
(24 February 1929 - 21 February 2005)
He was a Polish painter, photographer, and sculpter; specializing in the field of dystopian surrealism.
Also he was apparently murdered? The Wikipedia article was pretty interesting.
Thank you for introducing me to this dudes art though, I have a new favorite artist. This video was perfect for what it's topic was!
Thank you for this. These kinds of atmospheric visuals fill me with an indescribable sense of calm, I love liminal spaces. Especially Todd Hido's photos. I also enjoy Roufanis' pictures, and Beksinski's paintings, and the game (Beware) looks amazing. I cannot believe I wasn't subscribed before. This is the kind of content I need, more of this, please.
And thank YOU for making these incredible, immersive, well though and well executed videos my man, truly one of the few channels out there to truly immerse us in these adventures
On Kenophobia:
I drive in the nightshift, and whenever I am in areas with no functioning street lights, driving through darkness can be such an unsettling experience.
it feels like the road emerges out of nowhere beyond the edges of the headlights.
Trees seem to accentuate that creepiness, they add strange shapes and impressions on the eyes which desperately grasp on any little shape in the void to make sense of the nothingness.
Thanks, VC, for gifting us this video as you worked on finishing it on your birthday yesterday!
Great stuff, I absolutely love this kind of art!
That was genuinely incredible. Such a fascinating facet of art, exploration and wonder, I've always truly loved these worlds and experiences they evoke. The exposition in this video essay perfectly captures that wonder in a manner befitting of the open-ness, questioning, desolation and atmosphere that this art form give off. Incredible work, thanks for a mesmerising ride through dying worlds.
I love this! I am a fan of liminal spaces and find them relaxing. I get a mixture of relaxed and uncomfortable feelings from these places because while they make you feel alone they also fill you with a sense of impending danger, as if not truly alone, just abandoned.
I have been (unknowingly) seeking out liminal spaces since I was a kid. It's a relief to know other people like it. At first I thought I was alone in the feeling of tranquility I get from those types of places, in real life or in photos.
beautiful dude, always look forward to seeing a new one from you
Love this a lot, super well done :D You have a great voice for this and amazing editing skills.
Get a room with him then.
🤮
Iv had enough of this
WOW beksinski! been a fan for about 20 years now, great to see his art getting modern recognition, perfect context, love the video!
Awesome compilation! Really well done. Thank you!
This channel deserves and needs more subs.
something I keep going back to this is this 1 minute long browser game called "I am not what remains". It's a neat example of a journey through a dying world
Simon Stålenhag's "The Electric State" has the same atmosphere, really great artwork.
this what I love bout youtube! quality channels like these are a gem 🙏🏽
Subscribed! That was a beautiful video. I hope you make more along the lines of this one! Great vid!
Always amazing topics and well made videos, Keep it up!
Thank you. This was an amazing video. Keep up the amazing work!
Clicked on this mindlessly whilst thinking this was something I could kinda tune out to while finishing up BOTW. Turns out, you had me hooked from the first few minutes. You earned yourself a sub.
i'm so glad i stumbled upon this channel. amazing video!
Things like this give me a feeling of comfort and love. Like being at one's grandmother's house. But my grandmother died.
How does this not have more views? this is extremely well made
I love this video, so much mistery, and terrifying places /creatures.
This channel will make a fine addition to my collection.
I always get a weird sense of calm when I find videos like this, thank you, i even learned of a few things I haven't heard of before. You've probably heard about Tales from the Loop but if you haven't you'd appreciate it.
Absolutely fascinating documentary.
Look deeper beyond the potential horror to see an interpretation of the spaces,the world around us,and ultimately our own souls.
Thank you for putting into new things to explore.
This video gave me some nice nostalgia and overall brightened my night (:
Very enjoyable 👍
Man, your content is awesome
Holy shit, the part with the car driving, I literally have dreams like this, often. Where I'm driving but cannot see in front of me, constantly feeling like I'm about to hit something but never do.
I would love to see more in depth videos on stuff like this. Really explaining and showing unsettling games and atwork.
When I first played Silent Hill in the 90’s it was the most disturbing game I had ever played, both immersive and unsettling, I remember feeling completely isolated. Job done 👍
I'm genuinely delighted to find a video that portrays this subject that interests me so much. I was fascinated by the images shown.
There's something about the tone and vibe of this video that's tough to explain, but I absolutely love it. It's atmospheric, eerie, slightly creepy (but not scary), melancholic, mysterious, otherworldly, and very calming to watch. It's a weird feeling, almost hypnotic
Simply Brilliant. Subscribed within the first second.
Wonderful video ☺ thank you so much for this atmospheric journey.
FINALLY! I stumbled across this video and clicked on it because I had never seen this channel before and had a great feeling about it. I couldn't watch it at the time so I started it to get a little in and have it at least in my history then turned my phone off. When I came back, the app had reset and it wasn't in my history so I spent a few hours just trying it as I'd forgotten the name of the channel and video and I'm so glad I found it.
This content creator is going to blow up. Good stuff!
I love the kind of Moon Prod cosmic horror videos
It gives me the feeling of "everything has changed, there's no such thing as normal left to return to"
Well done! I have long had a fascination with abandoned structures and places and enjoy nothing more than a 4:00 a.m. walk on a foggy moonless night I have never been able to convey to others what it is that draws me to such things there's a certain fearful comfort derived from the experience a sense of somehow coming home. I know I sound like a madman but in the vague foggy night when the world is painted in grey and darkness places mundane in the clear brightness of daylight become surrealistic wonders
great video! couldnt stop watching
Amazing. It just is. This channel Should have like more then 100k subscribers or even more man.
before 35.7k subs nice
I'm grateful that you made this video. This sums all the liminal inspiration up I was searching for, thank you
ur def gonna blow up bro, amazing content 🔥🔥❤
That was a truly amazing journey!
sound was spectacular. looking forward to more.
it's cool to see Beksinski's work talked about. great vid!
The pronunciation could be correct though
I agree, his art is both unnerving and beautiful at the same time. Isnt it Belinski tho?
@@DiabeticGremlin07 it's Beksiński
@@Lappasm4n Oh ok my bad
Stranger, disturbing, and immersive. Good job!
Agreed, Żdzisław Beksiński would be amazed!
thank you algorithm! this channel is amaaaazing!
Always love seeing the tornado in the background with the huge monster at 8:01 & the empty village with the shadows of two people running for their lives etched into the wall @ 8:32. It gives me this weird feeling. Like a nostalgic feeling of what once was. The world is never going to be the same anymore & we’re gonna have to live with it.
I really enjoyed this video, you definitely understand that sense loneliness that accompanies these worlds. To not know what caused things to be so empty.
Very nice! Beware is looking so good nowadays!
It's so beautiful! 🖤
I started with your Cyberpunk work and would love to see more, but enjoying your channel man!
ita quite interesting, liminality. I lived in Ukraine for most of my life and i went back just recently to my home city and stayed in my house in the feilds all by myself...due to the war there is a curfew and you arent allowed in the city or anywhere for that matter from 11pm-4am. also due to the war there are constent air raid sirens, and since i lived in the country the only sirens were in the city and so i could here them but only faintly, to add to this feeling of liminality there were hundreds of frogs crocking and it gave this certain atmosphere that was so sureal. so many emotions went through my head and i now know the true feeling of liminality. it isnt nostalgia... it isnt a nice feeling...its the brokenness of memories and places that you love, its the deepest darkest feeling of loneliness.
Really nice video, a tour through the liminal world that seems to have shown up in the last 15 years or so
My thoughts on this are that its amazing to see the artwork and experience these worlds, but that its also a bit saddening to me, its like as humans we're supposed to be exploring happy and bountiful places, not lonely and miserable places.
I wonder if the modern world and its lack of ritual, superstition, mysticism, has caused us to view the world as a giant liminal space. I see artwork often involves humans reflecting their world in their art, someone who lives in a beautiful garden may paint a heavenly garden, while someone who lives in a warzone may paint hell, it seems today we paint isolation and melancholy.
Fun fact- Word "Babka" is a short version of Russian word "Babushka" that means "Grandmother". P.S. The video is great, keep it up Carbon
The original silent hill unsettled me like nothing else, we have very dense fog at times here and it still gives me a thrill of dread in the early morning when sound is distorted
Great episode and great channel just subscribed
I'm actually personally friends with the person who made Creatures of the Fog and the other adjacent videos around it.
I ADORE the looming, creatures beyond comprehension. So strange, and so beautiful, in a horrific way
Thanks for the download of darkness. Love your channel!
Firstly, this was a great exploration and thank you for curating these experiences.
I would say that a game which is now really fitting in with the themes of liminal spaces, loneliness and the modern lifestyle is "Silent Hill 4: The Room". This game really does reflect the modern zeitgeist and fears that are now so prevailent - the fear of being forgotten and lost in a dying world.
BEWARE continues to be updated by its creator. It's been a "ride" since it was released sometime back.
Man, I REALLY shouldn't be watching this at midnight.
But the video is too good I can't look away.
Great curatorship... very insightful comments. Thanks for this
Your clips are amazing
Congrats on 100k! this video is how i found you
amazing uncanny doc.
you've got me as a subscriber!
Watched this on shrooms. Intensely inspiring. The music makes the images more digestible. Bell subbed
I miss the days when these simple fake photographs and cg hidden behind pixelation and shaky cam where really thought provoking. Nowadays, after decades of internet the advance of cg tech, not so much anymore.
Awesome stuff dude
Thanks man!
@@VirtualCarbon love your channel
Absolutely marvelous! Sorry I cannot give you anymore information than that. Still processing what I just saw and heard.
This feels like a mix of Nexpo and the Curious Archive and I absolutely love it
This is a good channel that describes crewpy stuff like the thing in the mist this way he says it makes me want more
~14:05 The time of my life when I felt the greatest loneliness was during my first year at the first time I went to university. I remember being in lecture halls with hundreds of people about my age, but I was completely outside of and removed from all of them, incapable of connecting and relating.
I have dreams similar to this, almost always with a slight fog. As if I’m traveling through woods, abandoned roads, empty cities, and most recently a suburban neighborhood with lights on at night, but nobody around. It doesn’t feel like a nightmare, but rather a journey walking around just looking for anybody at all.
Something that captures an "odd" vbe like the game you reviewed and makes the player wonder a lot is a game called INSIDE. Big structures, luminous spaces, etc.
All very captivating. Somehow you manage to create a video describing and showing my dreams, though it's still mission a few things like not being able to attend an important secret gathering because I fail at putting on my socks.
