then when we'll get a hellmet video ?
The next video was NOT tower galactica...
Literally roblox manhunt, guy in prison jumpsuit, enemies in masks, hiding in the shadows, rust belt architecture, even cameras recording the events. This is manhunt
manhunt but less gores
@@ryderlos_eazyE manhunt family friendly edition
@@TeamFortressClassic manhunt 3, kids edition (just joking dont take it too serious, this game is good)
bald protagonist
manhunt, but for pussies, with awkward controls and fighting
It's terrifying how the red masked man stares back at you after the game finishes. It's almost like the game is trying to ask you a question - rather than finish some kind of story.
I think its symbolic showing that you are now one of them.........read my comment if you wanna see my full opinion
5:36 the giant camera has a purpose, if you step into the light it will alert like 6 guards to your location and they will rush the room you are in and attack you.
My interpretation of the lore, 2 Retards or 1 escape the italian mafia 1993 (Colorized).
LOL
In my opinion this is more of a sick game show. They were put into this desolate place and forced to traverse through this dangerous place for that reward. It’s kind of like a rite of passage. This also explains the purpose of the cameras. The ones with the masks could’ve been promised something, and then were lied to and are now forced to wear those masks and hunt down the participants either out of rage, or devotion for this sick game’s master.
this those explain why the camera dont work because its dosent control by the enemy and being control by someone easle beacause if they saw the player they would have beean alert by the player present and why the camera have the word liar to the canera is to symbolize that whoever behind this have triked us into this hell of a game and at the man in suit must be our reletive or friend to help us out maybe i was wrong about the red man being our friend but why easle he or she would help us in the firstplace it dose not looks like a people that help people form goodnes of his heart
@@user-bv2fg8sz8fthe red masked man might be the game master. that's it.
Oh my god like squid game
I think this is very plausible, another thing is that this game is based off the first Manhunt game by Rockstar which has a very similar plot, the main character is forced to kill several people (gang members, police ect) for an illegal film that is broadcasted live across the united states by an individual who guides the main character, very similar to the man in the red mask, I think this would mean that the masked people are gang members as well, rather than cult members. They would also be given a reward (like you said) for killing the prisoner, and the whole setup might have some sort of "script" to it.
@@Thebigblox12334 if this were scripted what kind of seane people would be in this sick game show the red mask would have kill the player'
I think the, "Prisoners" which they probably are, woke up in a life or death situation, the man in the red mask might of gave the prisoner(s) a deal to take part in a "Manhunt"? I suppose, for a load of money. Got drugged and sent to where this game starts, with no clear knowledge of what happened. The prisoners were gave the role as (Hunted) whilst the Cult Members, where given the role as hunter, both the player(s) and the Members are likely prisoners. Likely the hunters being paid for killing us and the players being paid for surviving. Where we are is probably an abandoned town being illegally used for the event. Think of it like an airsoft arena but not legal. The players goal is to survive with what they can to pass through the town. As we know the objective is not to kill the hunters but to get past, as we know you can beat the game without killing a single one. (Which yes, is possible) And after we "TRAVERSE" Through the dilapidated town we get presented with the Red Masked Man once more as we get paid for successfully avoiding certain death, which the reward (might) or might not be money. But as the man OCTIK says himself. His games are left to our interpretation, and this is my current take, If they update the game and add a second mission or have a slight map revamp extending it. Ill have to make edits.
Its a bit far fetched but it works, in some ways.
basically a snuff film
@@java3278exactly like a snuff film and the plot of the rockstar game manhunt.
(spoilers for manhunt)
unlike in manhunt lionel starkweather intended for cash to die and betrayed him. Here, the red mask guy aka the leader of it all clearly didn't betray the main character in fact rewarded them instead.
My take on the plot is just like manhunt itself, but different. You got kidnapped and placed in a compound of criminals and the guy in the red mask is the 'director' and all of the criminals arent aware of what they signed up for
My Take:
The player is a contestant of sorts, possibly willingly participating in a sort of gauntlet for money. The red masked man is most likely the one running the whole thing and is also the one watching through the cameras, maybe the "contestant" was drugged, put in an orange jumpsuit and brought to some form of abandoned town. and likely this is a consistent thing, because every time a contestant dies, the blood from previous combat remains, as well as used health vials. Which makes me think that each death is a new contestant, which is also why the checkpoints don't save our things; we aren't the same person. As for the enemies, possibly offered money to kill the contestant or simply taken from asylums and told to kill people not wearing masks.
In summary, the player is one of many willing/forced "contestants" put through a gauntlet for money, and the enemies are simply either insane, or offered money to kill the contestants, and the whole "gauntlet" aspect would explain why literally EVERYTHING the contestant needs to proceed is always lying around; Weapons, Throwables, etc.
Yea but the enemies whisper demonic things
Bc they were probably in asylum for that reason
MY DEPICTION of the lore is that the red masked man IS the one watching us on the cameras. He is analyzing what we do to see if we have what it takes to be a member of his cult. ↓↓↓↓
Kind of like a test.
The cult followers that we fight in the game are sort of like henchmen to the red masked guy and are expendable to him. (since we kill so many of them throughout the game)
At the end of the game, red mask guy sees that you have completed his test and rewards the player with a mask, possibly yellow or gold signifying a higher status than all the other cultists that wear white masks.
The reason I think it is a mask in the suitcase is because at the end, when he turns around, his mask staring right back at us is the last thing we see. It leaves us with a feeling that red mask guy has recruited us into his cult.
i tried wayy to hard on this
idk where the "liar" writing plays into this tho :/
maybe the camera's are recording them? while they kill people it might seem that the whole setting the red mask guy (the director of some sort) might be behind these cameras making a snuff film and rewards him for his work, kinda like the premise of "Manhunt" snuff films are movies that are VERY graphic and disgusting. Also to note when the Red dude gives him a knife it further Implies he wants him to kill.
One of your best videos the editing is amazing and funny keep up the good work!
the Lore in my head is that the "prisoner" (player) was sent there to have this little "game" that was made by the red mask guy. As you go along the way, he has been watching the player by the cameras around the building or it could be the people from outside of the places where you are, are watching you through a TV. When the player got to the end, the reward is freedom and could possibly money for winning. When he looks at the player, it made me feel uncomfortable cause it could mean many things. it could be making you feel guilty still or that he is going to do to the prisoner that you are playing as. like the feeling of "I know what you did" type of vibe. As for the "Liars" written, it could mean that the government failed to protect the people from the apocalypse because of how the outside looked like or it could be it's from the prisoners from before. The red mask guy could be one of the government too as taking the prisoner if they survive, they will be granted freedom from prison. The guys who wore mask could be people who got assign to kill the player in the process or they wore those mask to not be identified by the people watching to be part of a group. it's very interesting.
(WARNING: i have bad grammer) my prospective of the lore would probbaly be that, like the game's descirption says, "Hunted with no sense of who or where you are, your only option is to do whatever it takes to survive." probbaly means that you were kidnapped by a cult that was planning to sacafrile you to some unknown "God", hince why when you leave the building itself, it's called "funeral (something)", i can agree that the enemies look like cult members. And for the building itself, it's probbaly their own base, and for the red masked person who gives you a knife to start the game, i believe he's one of the cult members betraying the cult to make sure you get freedom, and for the camera with the "Liars" printed on it, it was probbaly the red masked man himself writing it, after all, all the text you see in the starting place is red text. For the red masked person's mask, i believe he's like a higher class in the cult, since the guards wear normal looking masks, their probbaly ranked as members, but for the red mask man, probbaly a council person, probbaly betraying his fellow council members, for the ending when he shows you something and then looks at the camera, it's probbaly him pretending to sascfily whoever or whatever is watching in the camera, possably pretending to follow orders to this "higher person".
Underrated comment
bro its just a copy of manhunt bro not that deep
the cameras r there because someone is watching u kill to create content for an audience that likes gore
@@rnz8985 you just reminded me of those horrible gore videos on the internet lol
great video! octik is sutch a mastermind but he is so underrated in the horror comunitty. As a preson who beat the game 8 times I watched this video whit full entrtainment!
My interpretation of the lore is that the player had a choice to either spend life in prison (for doing very bad things) or participate in a "Manhunt" where if he passes through a town, he gets money and freedom. The "hunters" are probably people taken straight out of a mental asylum or prison and are being paid and/or given freedom if they kill the player, they were given masks to mask their identity and weapons and were told to kill anyone without a mask. I think they used an abandoned nuclear bomb testing site for this "game". The cameras were so that the whole thing is recorded live and broadcasted on the tv.
According to the writing date of the commentary that TRAVERSAL had to have a story I can say one thing, probably it was about the older versions of it (around 5-10 TRAVERSAL variats, Including STRAY).
I have been waiting long enough for a lore in Traversal !
A small theory i just got rn, Basically we were in a Funeral House because we are kind of dead, the ppl with masks represents maybe our fears, maybe the bad things our character do in the real life, the apocalyptic place represents the same, and in the point of the man showing the golden and shiny gift, maybe its a reference that remids the character he was in a dream and let him know the true of his own existence, 😮😮
What a great video, I also heard that new levels for Traversal are in the works. So hopefully new lore people can speculate on. My favorite part of the game was honestly the combat, it reminded me of Sekiro especially with the takedowns.
I've notice this video has alot more detail compare to your others. theres more humor and creativity with editing, which is AWSOME!
now on to the theory on the video it feels like were in a situation where the other prisoners/cult people are sent as some sort of death sentence.
Like we're in a fight to the death situation,
The cultist get paid with their freedom (maybe money) for killing us. and we get paid for surviving.
There's no proof for that Because I haven't really played the game yet.
But if we look around the entire world feels very much like it's a post-apocalypse so maybe the entire world has been pledged into chaos it's like a dystopian world or somthing
my headcanon is, its all a test. to test the player/s skills. and the cameras are just to watch the player/s. like a gameshow.
also, the player/s probably accepted a job hiring as an assassin or a hitman. thus, the test.
The briefcase is a huge reference of pulpe fiction like a shiny "hidden" thing
I think whats more than likely, is that the whole situation is a red room, a place that is recorded to depict death and/or torture but the people behind the red room decide to make it more akin to a game show with people being able to receive a reward if they survive. that reward being a mask to work with them for more recordings or just plain old money for surviving. The masked people clearly get some sort of benefit from this like money. Which is why they are adept at combat (due to fighting numerous prisoners), and can be seen guarding exits. They all clearly know that you are lurking there. you're not escaping, you are playing the game.
My favorite take on this game is that the player is in a mental hospital with guards and the enemies are actually trying to help them by detaining them due to them being dangerous. Like the player has schizophrenia/psychosis and has imagined a lot of what happened even though this is probably wrong. The red masked person could be a friend trying to help them escape hence giving them the knife, and the suitcase at the end could be some sort of twisted reward for escaping.
This man keeps reviewing great games
5:44 my interpretation of these cameras used to be something about that those who are watching them promised to keep watch over them for some reason but the punishment were never served
Also the big camera at the end does something, it literally alerts more enemies
Has now around 1k players active while mid cashgrab simulators have like 50k+
The fact that they had a scrapped sliding mechanism just makes it crazy
Ohhh no wonder the style seemed familiar, I've played (and beaten) his Confinement game before
Very underrated developer
The shirts most of the enemies wear are actually district autozone uniforms, so I assume the lore is that the man in the red mask decided to give normal people, sociopaths and psychopaths a chance to win a prize of some sorts if they participate in some sick twisted game where they have to hunt the man in the prison jumpsuit (aka you) or you were brought here to fight for your survival and if you escape, you win a prize and also most of stuff to do be recorded and sold as a snuff film, hence why cameras are there. The game probably takes place in an abandoned island. The main character was probably drugged and brought here, the enemies you encounter may also be transported here for the film and game.
So here's what I think. I haven't fully finished the game but I played the game it was inspired by: Manhunt. Manhunt is a game where you are a prisoner sentenced to death. However, your death was faked and you are sent to kill different gangs around a dangerous city for this person you'd only know as the director. Everywhere you go there are cameras and this is because you're killing in the most violent ways for the director's entertainment. These gangs are different in their own ways. The way they dress, talk or even the weapons they use are different. This is a summary of Manhunt. However, Traversal is not Manhunt even though it's inspired by it. Here's what I got when playing Traversal. So you wake up in a prison uniform with someone helping you escape a funeral home, this could possibly mean you were captured by a gang. The cameras are there possibly because of someone watching you kill for entertainment, just like in Manhunt. But I ponder about the man in the red mask. He could be behind it all and why you're even there. Thats all I got.
My take :
The player and guards are victims of a "Purge" like event (anarchy where everything including murder is legal). At the start of the purge, you (the player and other people) were escaping from the same group of purgers which are the guards, you and other people got captured and got sent into one of their crazy asylums where they were used as guinea pigs for the purgers so those purgers could practice combat with other people. Each level is a realistic scenario or simulation of some sorts for the purgers. For example, the funeral home could be protecting a church/funeral, The hotel could be guarding the front and patrolling, etc. The setting would be in an abandoned run down town, the red mask man would be the leader of the purge group, he would give the guinea pigs knives and see how they would turn out, the player was basically just used as guinea pigs for a big arena or sparring place where the purge group (enemies) could practice and test out their skills in a simulation/arena so the enemies could rank up in their hierarchy.
The TRAVERSES joke at the start was a jump scare itself 😂
One thing something is kinda disturbing me is that the lock at the start is on the side your trapped in meaning that you either locked yourself in there or someone put you in there put the lock on the door and climbed out the window
I think the "District" part might actually provide information about the world.
First off, we have to look at the old description before it came out "TRAVERSAL is an atmospheric horror game set in a dystopian world;...."
I think this gives way more insight, but lets look at some other stuff.
We commonly see the terms "District 1" across the game and even is the name of the Discord of the game itself, but what exactly does this mean?
One last thing, the final badge of the game itself is called "Traverse" as a reference to Traversal, but I think it means much more.
I believe that this universe is obviously bad, in this universe, people like the red mask guy perhaps control everything, maybe for content seeing with the cameras, and get people like the prisoner (main character) to play these games for freedom or passage into a better life, perhaps District 1 is this entire area that is used for entertainment, and there are other Districts that only some go to.
I think the bad guys, or the enemies of the game don't get the same opportunity however, if we look at the liars camera (which may or may not be canon now) its clear some party would've done this, and I think it was the enemies of the game, perhaps they have been locked in District 1 for so long that they will do anything to get out (which can explain their violence towards the player)
actually, the large camera alerts the 4 people in the room ahead, and they come out to attack, but if you hide behind the wall next to the door they come from, you can take them down.
ngl, this game reminds me of that movie "The Farm" so much
The big camera actually does do something, if it catches you it turns red and spawns in 4 enemies to kill you.
it will receive updates and expansions! there will be some new levels it seems, octik has already posted sneak peaks
i love the rake music in the background
Honestly This is one of my favorite games as of lately it feels like a game of 4d chess you have to be very careful with what you do or you're screwed, and while the game is hard any time you fail it's because you messed up so it's the fun kind of hard.
My theory is that it’s like a deadly escape room that they signed up for to get a lot of money if they escape. That’s why you get a briefcase probably full of money in the end
I think he is a hired contact killer or its like a challenge where he sees if he can kill his goons and if he does it gets paid
I always thought the guy with the red mask is like a games operator, something similiar to squidgame where they put you in death scenarios and you make your way out for money (for it looked like gold at the end), writing on the cctv cameras shown previous people was a part of it.
I cant believe i finally found a roblox manhunt i love this game and its so much scarier than actual manhunt
i swear that camera is probably the hardest part of the game for me (i somehow beat the game 2 times)
What I think is that the player was kidnapped and brought there to prove their bravery and worthiness, and when they win they get a briefcase containing clothes and a mask indicating that all the guards were past winners
I like the music in the begging. I know its used in "The Rake:Remastered" which is a horror game of good quality (In my opinion) im curious if its an orginal peice of music for that game or made seperarly as ive heard it outside of the game recently.
the camera at the end spawns enemies if it sees you
Player(s) are forced to go through a series of events while cameras record their killings or them being killed by criminals for a snuff film, I say this because the game heavily reminds me of Manhunt 2. Perhaps the player(s) are willing combants as they are offered money for their willingness, whatever in the suitcase probably being golden bars if we are to go by the color of the light.
His game makes us feel that we are actually in it
His games gives the poc of when a person just anove average skills goes on through this experience which an average guy would never survive without skills necessary
You can't convince me that this is a stealth game. It's actually a melee combat sim.
To me its like the player used to be an escapee, escaping to a funeral home, but they meet the hunters while hiding leading them to get knocked out by a hunter wielding a bat,and since the hunters found the player, they though of sending out hunters across their so called territory, locking the gate with an unbreakable lock even they cant break, and they can barely see due to their mask, leading the players to use shadows to their advantage.
WE GOIN TO THE METAL GEAR SERIES WITH THIS ONE 🗣️‼️‼️💥💥💥
Dam epik vid
i have a theory: the red guy at the end opens the briefcase with has a mask in it, implying that you did all that to escape but in the end fallen for his trap, and now is forced to
join the cult. which explains why he looks at the camera in such a disturbing way.
My inerpretation of the lore
You were kidnapped, set into a dark web style show to fight your way through waves of these enemies (explains the cameras), I also speculate you were kidnapped by a gang I take this from their clothing, weird masks etc. The player fights through all of these places for the amusement of the dark web audiences, I'm guessing you weren't meant to survive, so they could constantly do this for viewership. Since you manage to get to the end you recieve a reward. This is my guess
why do I feel like this has the same vibe as squid game
What if it's a movie set and every time you die, it's a new take.
Some random ideas that I had
Definitely a cult
The red masked man seems to be a leader like figure, so an idea that I had is that he set the whole thing up, but later realized how bad it was and tried to stop it, the cultists didn't like that and still went through with it, so the red masked man then attempts to help the only remaining prisoner left alive (the player) Or the red masked man is a member of a different group against the one that captures you.
the building in which you are captured in when you first wake up is a funeral home, and that made my mind think "there was some kind of ritual or sacrifice planned here"
the prisoner outfit could maybe be from the cultists themselves, or maybe the player was already in prison, was let out, and then recaptured.
Maybe a really long time has passed since you were initially captured, so that explains why everything is so dilapidated and abandoned. It could also explain why (according to the description of the game) the player character doesn't know where, or who, he is. Because it's been forever since he had any contact with anyone, also going off of the "was already a prisoner, and was let go" idea of mine, the character could've maybe gone a little insane. And then THIS could also explain the insatiable desire for bloodshed without saying a word. (whether you take a stealthy or violent way to the end is up to you, but even when stealthy, the takedown animations are very brutal) So the character is maybe still sane enough to slightly comprehend what's going on, but it's also pretty lost to the point it just wants death.
Edit: I also read from another comment on this video that the player could also be schizophrenic, and thus the situation isnt that bad but the player sees it differently. Instead of normal people maybe trying to help the prisoners condition, the prisoner sees violent murderers and must end their lives to protect his own.
The weird part is that the description says you dont know who you are. If this was some sort of game, how do they just forget that?
actually if you trip the camera it will open a door and let out about 5 enemies
my question is, how did the red mask guy break the forth wall, or know that we were there?
Litterly Manhunt, probably like a sick game show for prisioners
In my opinion like the other commenters it is a squid game type scenario where a bunch of contestants sign up to win money coz they’re broke because the guards look somewhat like the masked cultists,the front man is like the guy in the red mask,the player well they’re like the player and that’s it
This reminds me of manhunt
I like to think of this game as an even more fucked up squid game due to all the enemies covering there faces and at the end you’re given a suitcase of money
Bro the enemies are not normal people. you can see one guy banging his head in the second level.
I also feel like we're being tested by the red mask.
I like the idea of the player being one of the ones that brought the prisoner in this place in the first place and is now watching them through a camera, it would more sense at the end.
Tho i got a lil theory of my own here mate, what if the red man is a past prisoner who was in that same room hm?
What if he stares the camera/player down because he has a deep hatred for them?
so many questions so less answers
yo write some theories in the replies tho
This is my interpretation of the story. It’s kind of like the lore of manhunt, but different. Anyways, I’ll start with my interpretation of the story. You have done some mistakes in your life, but that’s ok. But this time, you made a really big mistake, and now you land in Death Row. You await your death every day, until a prison guard comes in. You know it’s time. They give you your “last meal” and you leave. Instead of taking you to the execution, they put you in a SWAT Van. They then take you to an abandoned place. It had a stench of dead animals. At least you think it’s animals. Then you turn around to the SWAT Team, and one of them hits you in the head with a baton, really hard. You are incapacitated. You then wake up in a room. Your only objective is to earn your freedom. Cameras litter the building, everywhere you go. It was watched by officers of the law. Cultists litter the area too. Liar is written on every camera. It puts doubt that you will gain your freedom once you escape.. The cultists are probably prisoners too. Once you reach the end, it all paid off. You gained freedom. All your records are expunged for free, and you get a million dollars, to at least fix your life. That’s exactly what you did. You never messed with the underworld of crime again.
Manhunt: kid friendly edition
You mean we don't play as the prisoners? But we control them from the cameras at the district?
i finished the game and i can say this is peak.
Another master-piece by NoL.
If u get seen by the giant camera 4 guys come out to touch you
basically just squid game and saw combined
The player is a murderous psychopath, dude literally kept a smile throughout the whole game. He's scarier than the whole mask gang.
Sol's rng really is the epitome of a braindead game
Lol i think of traversal as an action game thats how good it is
Why did I hear "Fjord Of Winds"?
6:11 TRANSITION??????
When i first game played the game with my friend we thought we got kidnapped by some cannibalistic crackheads
This is basically silent hill on roblox
Alright i knew this game must of have lore because ehy else eould the bodies of the guards i killed move and stare at me
Me totally not playing sols rng:
5:36 this giant camera DOES do something, if it spots you it summons a skibidi toilet gang of 4 guys
i also killed them a couple times with my freind in the last silly vid i made
I'm about to edge to this
just ccompleted the game. it's amazing
dont you dare diss scp forgotten baby... it is PEAK!!!!
4:20 Choking with a axe💀💀
Think it's more of a squid game type deal
Traversal reminds me of this game made by rockstar. I forgot the name, but all I know is that the game is based in Carcer City
manhunt
I want to watch this but haven’t played it yet and don’t want spoilers 😫
its manhunt
1:27 THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING FOR THE LONGEST TIME NOW🗣🗣🗣
My theory is that the people who are in this place is actually a mental asylum and they bombed the place and they took it and the masked man is just one of the prisoners who was the guy who got the idea in the first place and they player was peacefully walking all of a sudden he gets attacked by them so yeah that’s my side of the story
no way you were beating it WITH A FRIEND
Traversal is so easy, they need to nerf shadows
Imm be honest with you. It took u a pretty long time for you to explain the lore lmao.
I feel like your script could have been cut a little bit perhaps. Love the editing tho ❤
the big camera actually servers a purpose so far it spawns 4 bad guys in the room if the camera sees you hope this helps
It has a buggy range hitbox
@@spider78z yeah thats true
@@RandomContent01 i swear its the ping difference or something like what i see is the camera looking at the other side but in reality the other player is seeing the camera looking at the other side
