- NIGHTSLINK - Surreal PS1 Styled Apocalyptic Horror Game Where You Deliver Cassettes to Noise Junkies
NIGHTSLINK is available now on Steam: store.steampow...
Note: I've included the letter delivering "Alone Together" achievement Easter egg at the end of the video but there is still one last secret in the game that nobody has cracked. It involves getting the "Don't be a Stranger" achievement and the first five people to crack it will receive a real-life NIGHTSLINK cassette from the dev: / 1432341888774856705
This feels like it's set in the same world as Paratopic. The decaying dark world, the sprawling empty cities, the ability to transfer energy through tapes. They aren't just noise junkies, they're outright addicted. Though everyone being shut in does have more, current vibes.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Only that was VHS tapes. Even the driving scenes....... i wonder if its a homage or its actually related.
the decayed sprawling empty city vibe where everybody is shut in their homes/apartments... i can definitely relate over here.
Hell yeah, somebody else thought the same thing; I was seriously gonna look that game up to see if it was the same devs cuz I can't remember. That's hands down one of my fav "PS1 style" game I've seen as something about the lonely nighttime city vibes hits me juuuuust right in a way I can't even explain.
this is terrifyingly close to the world we currently are in.
we just need the Lovecraftian titans at the end.
Thank you for saying this! I couldn’t put my finger on it but this is EXACTLY what I thought this was and was wondering what’s they hype to play when it’s been out for so long, ha! Thankssss
Loving the hell out of the ps1 style horror games that keep coming out.
I'm still waiting for a new fad of Liminal Space horror games to start. No Players Online was the first big one but other devs haven't taken the ball and ran with it unfortunately.
I think the whole vhs and ps1 stile is overused its just an excuse to make a low resolution game.
@@zohaibjamal876 this way is better than different games using the same model pack from assets stores.
@@zohaibjamal876 These are indie developers. Don't expect hi-res graphics for a game made in a short amount of time. They're working with whatever they have.
@@danialshamshuddin i know but most of the time its not even a vhs theyll make it way more distorted and packed with static.
The thumbnail guy gives me the vibes of: "What? You don't have a shadow cowboy following you around? This is completely normal."
Stand users in Part 3 be like
It looks like the silhouette of "The Woman Next Door" from Junji Ito's "Mimi's Ghost Stories".
Or, the silhouette of Vampire Hunter D.
Good to know that people still share fire mixtapes in the apocalypse.
Note: I've included the letter delivering "Alone Together" achievement Easter egg at the end of the video but there is still one last secret in the game that nobody has cracked.

Does this mean that you have not yet cracked it? If not, then it MUST be a tuff one! Your ability to solve riddles in games is phenomenal. I am good, but you are great. In fact, I wonder whether you could solve some puzzles in games that have stumped me in the past. For example, did you ever play Myst Uru? I could not make it through a single Age without the help of a walk-through cheat sheet. My failure in Uru has been a huge shame that continues to hang over my head.
It's a great bonus from developer.
You mean the first five *VICTIM* to be addicted to that cassette in real-life and will eventually give away their souls to wake that Cthulhu-esque entity from the deep-dark...
@@GregoryTheGr8ster Haha, yeah it's pretty tough! My guess is that it involves deciphering the message at 15:47. You also get a message when you start the game after completing it that says "Go Outside" with the same symbols below it (but not enough to decode anything). I tried knocking on all the doors multiple times and got nothing. I'm stumped! Never played Myst Uru, I do like a good puzzle though! :)
@@LighthouseCape Haha, yeah that's a distinct possibility! :)
The atmosphere is great, the fact that there is more terror than horror is perfect.
Although the story does not explain itself much, it still is amazing.
ALSO, FOR ALL WHO MAKE PS1 STYLED GAMES: this is how you do it, with just the right or almost none texture warp - I just love that there is a balance between low poly models and the ligthning seems to be more detailed - just kudos to devs.
But.... But muh graphics warp!?
Also don't forget the atrocious film grain or whatever the hell some developers add to the point that it physically hurts trying to figure out what you are looking at.
I love how everyone is so nostalgic nowadays that most things are taken from other decades and now it’s reached video games
When times are bad people get nostalgic for the past.
@@-0rbital- I like it honestly
That's literally all of history.
@@QuantumTelephone ye
Not sure what's on those mix-tapes but that end song is bangin'!
I LOVE that he presses both record and play together like you have to on real recorders....That level of attention to detail is awesome. I wonder how many boomers like myself have had to use those things before lol.
Edit: The longer I Watch the more this reminds me of paratropic with the tapes/voice acting/music/driving sequence, It's awesome.
I don't have photosensitivity related health conditions of any kind but I still really appreciate you taking the time to warn people about flashing lights. Not many people do that kind of stuff so thank you for setting a good example!
Agreed. I get eyestrain.
I once watched "Sungazer" and it felt like I was being punched in both eyes.
The end credits track makes a great tune at 1.25x. (less synthwavy in 1.0x)
I LOVED the atmosphere of the whole game.
Omg those crispy, crunchy tape sound effects. I love them
This reminds me of Paratopic.
WAIT WAIT WAIT… horror game? Delivery? CASSETTE TAPES?!
Anyone else heard of Paratopic?
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The motorcycle driving is visually pretty close to the car rides too.
It definitely seems inspired by Paratopic.
Heck, inspired is maybe even putting it nicely in this case. This is a borderline Paratopic fan game... a fan game of an indie horror game. What a concept but I'd be glad for it to exist! XD
True, I thought it's some continuation of sorts. But it has different developer :(
I honestly thought it was the same developer, I loved paratropic, this dev shows promise though, the game has an ominous vibe and I really dig it.
@@planescaped THe game is cool but I dont get why even MandaloreGaming made a video about Paratopic
I don’t know why but the thumbnail dude is giving me John Wick vibes.
A very intriguing game, even if the story leaves me baffled. I get the feeling that the lead character is (perhaps unwittingly) helping the monsters by distributing the tapes, but I'm not sure how the smoking guy fits into it. The thumbnail shows the smoker with one of the giant monsters as his shadow. (Is that an official graphic, or did ABG put that together?) It seems to suggest that the smoker is working for the monsters somehow, but his "You've really done it this time" line makes it sound like he's blaming the protagonist for the world falling apart. And then there's the weird, disappearing pixel-lump that cries like a baby. This thing is just wall-to-wall WTF. Can you ever go down the stairs?
My best guess- the tenant in the apartment who was listening to the tapes with the baby- somehow the baby listened to it and must've mutated into some kind of monster. I think.
Or maybe there never was a baby. Maybe the tapes made people mutate and make strange things happen in their apartments.
Strange dreams, becoming beasts, being chased by eldritch horrors...
I don't know. Feels like a dream.
Those little moments of watching the door really did a lot, wow. The tension building during the interludes should be studied.
Not much gameplay here, but I really enjoyed watching it. This is one of those games that are probably as fun to watch as to play.
I think if they added some puzzles or even little mini-games for the motorcycle or possibly something to do with recording the tapes, it might be more appealing.
But it’s got top notch atmosphere, good writing, and an interesting, if maybe underdeveloped story (for example; what’s on the tapes??), so it’s got a lot of potential!
Still waiting on a tape I bought 6 years ago from Henry Mallard, now I understand
Nearly missed the guy in the road at 10:44
The shadow figure in the thumbnail is oddly reminiscent of Vampire Hunter D.
I wanna be a Nightslink when I grow up...
They sound both Russian and American at the same time! Like when you see the subs, it totally makes sense!
Looking at the thumbnail, I thought the shadow was "D" from the "Vampire Hunter D" series. Also, I got to check out Paratopic. Sounds really creepy .
Shadow looks totally like Vampire Hunter D !
love the concept! :v
edit: dig the sound design
The guy on the thumbnail has a Stand!
cringe
20:45 wow ending song is so fucking good
Saturn is into mixtapes now
PS1 style horror games love a cassette tape
Observer vibes 'ere as well as Paranoia 1.0! Oozing with atmosphere and retro rendering with some smart interpolation & dithering details done right! Like it a lot!
I, also, like to listen to HORRENDOUS ELDRITCH SOUNDS AND SONGS FROM BEYOND THE VEIL OF REALITY- it's my favourite mixtape!!
the smoking guy 0n the hallway, is he John Wick..?🤔
Awesome
Love the vids bro ❤️
I got spooked :(
The crying child sounds bit like the one in Tool "Cesaro Summability
".
That is where it's from. Recognized it immediately. Maybe it comes from something else yet even earlier than that album, not sure.
2:32 that's Brendan Schaub right there....
The guy in the thumbnail looks like John Wick with a Ponytail
Great atmosphere!
Oh yeah this one. Hype
I have a strong feeling the devs played Paratopic...good
the music and sfx are excellent
ending credits song slaps, also i was the 420th like blaze it
I need an explanation...
that crying baby noises at the beginning remind me of the sniper horror game you played on your other channel o_o
John Wick? 2:32
Nice
Feels like its unfinished. I mean it's cloverfield lane levels of vague, which is pretty cool, I just think there's some lose ends plot wise, especially with that extra deal with 83 and 5. Idk, it was cool.
the dont be a stranger trophy answers most of the questions
You don't play "video games," you play interactive cut scenes.
Still a game. You want to split hairs, go make a game yerself.
*For it to be a game, there needs to be stakes. A way that can prevent you from accomplishing your objective that you have to work around. This is more like an interactive narrative.*
Me: [Looking at thumbnai]
Me: Is that Keanu Reeves?
I watched John Wick movies one too many times.
Now I wonder what 85 wrote in the letter for 83. . .
Music sounds like Kraftwerk Radioactivity and Space Lab
They really got John Wick in the game?
Am I the only one who thinks that smoking man looks like Keanu Reeves?
thumbnail lowkey looks like john wick with a stand
I'm sorry but the way they were talking... I was having this video on in the background while I was painting in art class and 💀
Just hearing and not seeing-
2:38 Smoking is bad for you. It turns you into a clobberhanded PS1 character.
If I were to say, these are like video game counterparts of short B movies.
Most of them are like fries, fast to end without offering much grabbing and inticing in terms of taste.
Doesn't mean there can't be phenomenal or interesting short films, but most of what we have personally bores me.
2:30 wtf is Tahar Rahim doing over there
The iDosing apocalypse
is it just me or that smoking guy looks like keanu 🤔
Obvious paratopic vibes
The ending soundtrack?
that's not how room numbering works _at all_
is this aparatropic prequel/sequel? I'm getting some heavy vibes.
So can anyone explain what's going on or is this just one of those games that takes "spooky" as an excuse to be incomprehensible
👍👍👍
Ok can someone explain this to me? Are they computer programs that want to live in reality? I’m really at a lose to explain this game.
I play it and totally worth it! But still I have so many questions!
What’s exactly are in the taps?
Old Jerky Boys skits.
I theorise that they're recordings of the noises of some eldritch monstrosity or a demon, and the people become addicted to listening, perhaps becoming vessels of dark power, helping to usher the full beast into the physical world.
But that's just my two bits on it.
wait, i see a tab below this on the app I've never seen before which is "clip". Perhaps it is self explanatory but how does this work, can anyone plz tell me?
edit: also "create". These weren't here 2 months ago, were they?
Yeah they're new, the like/dislike thumbs were also changed.
I believe it lets you post gifs of youtube videos quite easily to other platforms. Useful for people who do that I guess...
I quit that not long after high school and IRL 4chan(reddit) became popular. But I'm sure I am in the minority in the interweb era where must adults never actually grow up. >__>
@@planescaped thanks for the response! Well GIFs and menes have their place but that place is now oversaturated with even the BBC, Guardian and ABC news Australia posting them. When novelties are no longer novel.. the novelty wears off? Then it just becomes annoying visual distraction? Or i may be "old" (adult?) or perhaps just too lazy to do it myself. Certainly i think I'm over people communicating things by reaction GIFs. Not entertaining, not funny after it becomes overdone - rather, annoying. Will this new feature mean further oversaturation, if that's even possible? Eh.
Cheers for the heads up and wish you the best of health.
Anyone able to explain the story to me?
Are these the same developers who created "Cookies"?
There is no such thing as a coincidence.
what game endogen is this game made on?
Silent Hill 4?
I don't get it, but I guess it was intentional.
Morel se ovdje kahva popit ?
Yeah no, fuck this game. It's a weak and stripped down Paratopic clone without any of the charm. Easy pass on this one
dude literally copied paratopic and got away with it,
These Silent Hill PS1 clones are getting tired.
developers never cease to amaze me with how shitty they can make games
