As a Swede myself, my parents learnt me about trolls and nacken. The trolls are basically the big guys. They are to said to live in the forest and to be turn to stone in the day, only to form into a troll in the night. Nacken is a creature according to Swedish folklore that lures people in to the waters, drowning them.

I'm so glad you played this game! It's been one of my favorites for years. It just hits something so deep.
*Spoilers*
The point of the game is that you died in the car wreck. And now for killing your brother and your sins as a drug addict, you are forever trapped in a purgatory world, the norns using the nakken to make you suffer over and over with the choices you make for eternity. So haunting! And the soundtrack is fire!
Thank you for playing it!
Oh what an awful storyline, the creators have some poor views on drug addiction apparently. I thought it was super strange the main character apologized for kicking his head after being fucking kidnapped aha.
I think it was pretty on point with how petty the Pantheons are told to get with their creations. He kidnapped her (with good intentions), she killed them both (knowing he was her brother) and the Gods are disproportionately punishing them both for the crimes and suffering each put on themselves and others. Hers, of course, would be far more than his because while her addiction is sad it doesn't erase whatever pain she inflicted on others during the course of it. He was made to witness the grim horrors of the afterlife and then died in purgatory not knowing if she lived or died. It's very on point with Godly Punishment.
Insym: "He's so gonna die, hahahaha."
Lukas: *actually dies a morbid death*
Insym: *surprised Pikachu face*
As an amateur astronomer I thought I’d mention that you can actually faintly see the Milky Way even in places with very mild light pollution. Obviously it’s WAY better in places without. I went to Astro Fest once when I was a kid, it was on a dude’s corn farm in Illinois. You could see the whole thing, it was honestly magical and I’ve wanted to see it again ever since. Unfortunately I’ve only been able to get to the places with very mild light pollution like Dixon IL for the Bootleg Astronomers Party as Astro Fest disbanded 😢
Also I thought I’d actually stand up for Chicago for once (ugh lol) and clarify that the blackout was actually in L.A. in 1994. In their defense (double ugh lol) most had grown up in the light pollution where MAYBE they’d be able to see a star or two and in most children’s books, animations, etc. the night sky is ‘supposed’ to just be some stars and the moon. So the big cloud that is suddenly in the sky went against what they were taught the sky looks like. This was extremely bad, however, because it was an earthquake that had knocked out the power grid so it was blocking actual emergency calls.
Although it’s also a bit hard to find proper sources so it might have just been PBS exaggerating and only a couple people called because it was at like 4 AM. 🤷♀️

Some interesting trivia because i don't think it will become relevant but will-o-wisp is known as "Lentern men"(Lyktgubbe) in Swedish folklore, they are said to be the remnants of people who died traveling or patrolling their land at night. The light is from the lantern they carried before they died.
And sins it is you Insym Myling is also Swedish folklore, It's supposed to be a child born out of wedlock, sometimes manifesting as a child covered in soot or ash.
I LOVED this game so much, it's by far one of my favorites ever and deserves more people playing it! So glad you played it!
Around 20:00 you asked about going somewhere to see the Milky Way. A lot of campgrounds in the US let you do that in the summer.
It's really cool that you played this one. It's a masterpiece. Angry Demon also made Apsulov, which deals with Norse mythology instead of folklore and it's super good too.
"They call maggots disco rice. I learned this while playing the mortuary assistant"
I learned this while watching Spaulding Decon for years clean up all kinds of bio lmao They even have maggot races.
34:30 Even if you called some service, he's literally dead at that point. His whole body is crushed. He's not surviving so you're giving him a mercy by killing him and making sure he doesn't suffer too long. It's cruel to *not* end him sooner at that point.
1:15:50 If you've ever bitten your tongue, you know you can easily bite through it lol
I love that her playing slows down when she has the match and her hand position changes. It's a nice touch that not many would care about or notice.
Actually, following powerlines in a forest can be a bad idea, since they can often go through hundreds of miles of forest. So unless you know with absolute certainty that there's a nearby town in that direction, don't rely on it.
Nordic folklore is creepy af... the atmosphere of the surroundings in this game is incredible... the lighting as well... it's so dark yet it's still gently illuminated.
As a sidenote, I remember the first time I saw the night sky unpolluted by light & it was absolutely spellbinding... 🌠🌌🌙
Ohh this is awesome! I love seeing our folklore in games its so much fun!
I don't know if any other swedish people did this too but at my school we learnt about folklore and norse mythology. Was my favourite time of day. When i was playing God of war it was so interesting seeing their take on our old culture, It's so interesting! I would 100% recommend looking more into it if you have the time! The stories and everything is so great
I must really say that its nice seeing you play Swedish games also. so you can learn some Swedish words. But i can hear that you learn some words..
Keep up the good work man
You make my days even better with your videos
Marry Christmas to you and your family!!!!
Yo I know I'm About to be buried in these comments but i just wanna say it is amazing of you to put 2 quality videos out a day bro that is admirable
Completely unrelated to the game (still watching the video, enjoying it as always), but I live in the countryside in America, in a place where I can see the Milky Way very clearly... when it's not cloudy. But because of that, growing up I thought it was weird when people talked about how cool it would be to see the stars at night, didn't realize that light pollution made it so people couldn't see them in the city.
As a swede, the game is primarily written and voice acted in swedish and will be better experianced that way, but it has an english dub, by the same voice actors. "Unforgiving: A Northern Hymm" is a horror game based on nordic folklore. I'll write about the main monsters and spirits (there are other smaller spirits and such, but they're mostly souls that are bound to an object as a punishment).
"name" = swedish
The first in the mire is most likely a "gast", a vengeful spirit that likely met a violent end and their bodies have never been found and therfore never buried. They are said to appear at night and you can sometimes hear their violent screams.
The third, while on the gondola, on the river and at the boss fight is "Näcken", meaning "the naked one". A spirit that lurs people, often young women and also young men with his music (playing violin) and drowns them.
The third is a classic troll.
The fourth in the village is most likely a "skogsrået" (also the one you saw on the cliff with your brother), a spirit of the forest that takes the form of a beutiful woman and preys on lone hunters. Those who have relations with the "skogsrå" has his soul bound to her and in return is granted luck. If he is unfaithful to her, he will be given bad luck in his life. Often leading to death.
The fifth is a "Bergsrået" (protector of the mine). If you are welcome it will protect and guide you. If you aren't welcome it will try to lead you astray, hunt you or even kill you.
Finally the "myling", a spirit of a dead new born, killed and hidden by the mother, sometimes under the floor of the cabin. All this to hide an unwanted preganancy.
All spirits that haven't been batised and buried will forever walk the earth.
I hope it helps.
I am so confused by this only because I didn't know Norway and Sweden had so many common folklore, cuz we also have nøkken, huldra, Frøya and trolls o.O You should try play through the woods too :D
at 54:25 I love the sound of the chainsaw, i was expecting a full blown generator noise but damn that chainsaw got me
Sooo, I did think about the tongue thing because of a family story. My dad has the custom of sticking his tongue against his upper lip when he is focuses… or he had it. The point is that one day he was playing football (not the American kind) and he fell and cut his tongue off. Luckily, he got to the hospital back in time for the doctor to reattach the tongue, and he never had any issue or repercussion from that. Turns out that the tongue being a muscle really helps reattaching the damn thing and recovering all its functions. Call me sick, but when he said get the tongue from your brother, I knew exactly what to do, but scooping out the eye bare handed must have surely required some finger finesse.
Anyhow, I really liked this game, but have you played “In Sound Mind” yet?
I work overnight shifts every night at work in a house as a caregiver and this house is hella dark. I wait for long scary videos from Insym to watch at night and his videos never disappoint me. My man!
Insym: "NO! You would never ever in 2022 put someone out of their misery. You would just call for help."
Well in 2022 in the wilderness with no phone (he took hers remember) and with him crushed and pinned by a massive rock then yes you would. It's more merciful and even if you had a phone it would take them 30 minutes to an hour to find and reach you. In that time period the person would die anyways. By ending it for them you save them time of suffering. It's actually more cruel not to put them out of it.
It would take 30 minutes just to start up the helicopter. Those things require a crazy amount of maintenance and checks before they're allowed to take off.
@@ZeroPointAlpha Yeah I know. I was Air Force Security Forces. I understand that sort of thing better than most. I just thought it was crazy what Insym said lol just because we have phones now even with gps it would take far too long. The most merciful thing would be to ask him if he'd like you to put him out.
@@melugem bruh? Where tf you get your information? You know google isn't real life right? Also yes average is 5-10 if you live in the city or are near the city. If you aren't near the city that isn't happening. The only "misinformation" here is you bro. Have you ever lived outside of a city? For any amount of time? Cause you are coming off sounding like someone from New York or San Fran. Trying telling someone who lives in the wilderness of Wisconsin it takes 5-10 minutes. You will get laughed at.
Im amazed at your ability on sleeping after playing hours of these horror games!! Keep it up your vids are always fun and full of energy!
Insym still reacts too, unlike people like Markiplier who has said that after a decade of doing this, while he stills get the occasional scare, for the most part he knows what to expect.
Ah the joys of Canadian hiking. The only time you're really safe from the mosquitoes is early spring when it's still cold enough at night to keep them away. But our scenery is worth the bug bites.
Picks up the harp
"Gods are coming"
Twilight of the Thundergod starts playing
This game is amazing. So is its sequel Apsolov: End of Gods.
Through the Woods is another great Scandinavian myth-based game.
5:29 no my addiction is your video srsly lol
Finland is not part of Scandinavia, just for your info, Scandinavia is Denmark Sweden and Norway
So I take it you're only missing a Danish horror game to complete the collection... hmm let me see... oh right! 2022 Football/Soccer World Cup, that will do nicely!
Insym: I don't think she wants to mate...I think she wants to kill
Praying Mantis & Black Widow Spiders: Am I a joke to you? 🤪
I wonder if Lukas's eyes and tongue would have been ruined if you HAD killed him with a rock.
0:00 i legend was born♥️
Hi Insym, i was wondering if you have ever played Kona ? That game take place in Canada and it's kinda a horror game, i would love to see you play to it !!
I actually thought Insym was Swedish after being subscribed to him since 2021. Somehow I missed every video where he said he's Dutch til last summer lol.
happy to see insym, watched all ur vids ur amazing! im swedish so it was fun watching the vids. i loveu long horror game vids. Love u man, keep it up!
13:05 IRL what do you do immediately after this situation?
Turn back, or keep going? I'd probably Alt F4 from life, After seeing some shit like that lol
New Zealand countryside you could always see all the stars. When we would camp out or have bbq we'd always watch the skies, see plenty of shooting stars too. Actually almost everywhere in nz you can see the stars but obvs not the bigger towns/cities. That's one thing I miss from NZ actualy, the light pollution in Australia is bad.
Posted 19s ago lmao lessgo i love unforgiving
swede here! really interesting game for sure! keep em up Insym ;). last horror game i played was Agony, havent finished it yet as i have been occupied with bunch of other games for the last 4 years... oof have it already been 4 years...
Was kinda sad for a bit that it just wasn't automatically in Swedish. I found out watching Markiplier's playthrough that "You fucking kidnapped me" is literally the exact same in Swedish lol
You should try Through the Woods. A norwegian horror game. ;)
GEEZUS that was wild from start to finish.
Where I live doesn’t have a lot of light pollution (we barely have lights on the roads at night) so as long as it’s a clear night, you can see a lot of the stars. It would be nice to see it more, I’m sure in other places it’s more beautiful. Only downside is here we have too many mosquitos lol
The fucking horror on your face at 1:22:15 I felt that😂
you are so fun to watch Insym!
"ragnar sing our song so we know its you!"
*THERE ONCE WAS A HERO NAMED RAGNAR THE RED*
This was so creepy but so awesome! Every part of it was very well done 👏
If you come to the US there are many places you can see the constilations! Many of the rural towns have low light pollution.
the game reminds me of through the woods its also a horror game that was published like 2016 or so, and the mythology part in it is also soo good.
Hey Insym !
You should play an horror game called ColdSide.
It's a game inspired by the universe of the SCP Foundation and it's made by only one person.
The game is incredible and really well done, it deserve more interest.
Also, the composer of the game Soma made the musics of the game, so, it's not nothing.
The game has 4 different endings depending on your choices at the end of the game.
I hope you'll see my comment !
If you wanna know, yes I've already send a request for this game by the Google Doc you provide.
1:15:59 LOLLL
Just an FYI - on Steam this game and Apsulov (same dev) have 91% off bundle - so it's 3.13€ instead of 34.99€ idk when the offer ends but I thought I'd let everyone know
I’m from the nw “burbs” of Chicago and yeah I can totally picture people freaking out over being able to see stars in the night sky. I loathe Chicago and am glad I moved out of state
Hikes suck no matter how beautiful the place is when you are when your in tremendous pain. I have severe chronic pain and doctors and I are trying to figure out what is wrong. I’m on 21 pills a day to try to control the pain, depression, anxiety, and insomnia from whatever is going on. Thankfully I have your videos to make my day better. Thank you
Holy shit.... man just got crushed o_o
hi im one of those hideous freaks who doesnt like hiking. in my defense i grew up in texas, which is a discount australia. it's hot as fuck here, and we don't have the most interesting landscape, but mostly it's the fact that the sun is one centimeter away from the ground in texas and if you go hiking you'll literally melt.
You’re like the college girl in a 80s slasher film. Always looking back at what’s chasing you hahaha.
Always makes it more tense.
As a Swede i am looking forward to this video very much 💪🏻🤩
If you knew you'd be suffering through this over and over again for all eternity. The best way is to go out on your own terms. Break the cycle by doing something completely unexpected.
0:18 Just so you know Insym: Finland does not belong to Scandinavia. Only Sweden, Norway and Denmark do. Finland belongs to the Nordic region, which includes Iceland, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, Åland and all three Scandinavian countries.
the green things are fairies, they dance on lakes, rivers and swamps to make it foggy
I think they died in the car crash, her purgatory is to go through that again and again for eternity
it's so funny that the day i leave to go to sweden, i get this video recommended to me!
The good message through this game is to not kill the trees and treat them as real person
I am really sad I couldn't watch it in live. This game is really interesting! ^-^
as long its not Phasmophobia, im glad to watch any video
Wait where did you go hiking in canada? I got eaten alive by mosquitoes on a hike at my lake, and in a 30 degree Celsius day. The water was so nice after!
ZERO light discipline
if you thought those black figures popping up were scare play Into The Radius, trust me you won't regret it
Fantastic as always!
2:04:38 look at me and tell me the demon babies aren’t cute!
i guess its unforgiving as the title said XD
I love your vids and your a great RUclipsr please dont give RUclips up because I can't stand you leaving everyone make sure your SUBSCRIBED
I love hiking
is this a reupload? i remember watching this i few days ago.
Can someone gimme the link of video of that asian horror game that Insym played
This game looks Awesome!
My favorite horror game was F.E.A.R.
I hope they will make a remake of F.E.A.R!
"You are a goddammed murderer."
... Is what i think of whenever i see good immersive horror games like these...
Because you also have blatant trash like that stupid subway game.
"you are a god damn murderer" lol
This game is so unsettling
3:00 thats american karen alright
Oh it's a näkki. Nacken
This Zelda :Ocarina of time HD remake is i little different. 👀
lmao I always think insym is Swedish, then I remember he’s danish. Then I remember that’s also not right LOL
This game is cool! Thank you for the video ❤
+1 to whoever gets bored and marks each time he gets more matches

This is really good, n there is another one...but it is not the same... I wish there was more of this game 😊
I am the lorax and i speak for the trees, and for some fuckin reason they're speaking Vietnamese
In the comments for your Age of Mythology mention! I miss that game sooo much, way better than Age of Empires in my opinion. Remember when the servers were still running and playing on multiplayer world's ❤️
1:0053 Not all of them do KEKW
I have blue eyes and and brown hair haha
@Insym you got so many matches, that nobody can matches you!
(bad dad's joke)
I’ve also played a finished horror game
Fuck I was eating rice
This is gonna be good!
Welcome to Sweden 😌
I’m pretty sure that was the bad ending
ima swedish guy and that was a well made game

Ahhh the Holy Doody
Man. Insym need some comfy rest .
WEEE-UUUUUU-UII
