- This is the type of game that will make you rethink your motivation in life. The Beginner's Guide indirectly challenges the player to question the commonplace act of being driven by external validation. The story hit very close to home and even made me ask myself questions I hadn’t thought about enough. I hope you all enjoy this gameplay as much as I did. Such a powerful and vulnerable narrative from Davey Wreden, the man who brought us The Stanley Parable. Watch my Music Video: • Among Us but I'm Singi...

At the sentence 'Stop putting lampposts in my game' I wondered how Davey had access to Coda's computer. He would've had to edit the game of his computer for Coda to see something wrong. Then, I realized. Coda is Davey. Coda is just a different side of him. Davey made all of this. The last game, where you are stuck in a prison, that's Davey trapping Coda while he goes off to do other things. Coda's last game was made in June. But Davey wasn't done, he made The Stanley Parable in July of the same year.
Well the creator of this game is either coda him self or his friend. Who says in the game he was invited over multiple times to see codas games, he could of just downloaded them.
Coda is fictional. The game is fiction. If it wasn't, Davey would be arrested for using someone else's material, without permission, and making profit off of it.
The Chilled Goomba The game isn't fictional....
Exactly what I Think, coda isn't real, this was the creator speaking to us, saying that he was conflicted, saying he was depressed but some part of him though he was fulfilled, him trying to understand himself, him knowing what he was doing then just getting confused and wrapped up in what he was doing to a point where he thought he wasn't himself, him making his games unfinishable and incomplete where the other side of him went back to complete them, to feel complete, but the feeling never came, and he felt he was doing something wrong showing others his games and saying how he felt, he thought about how he was feeling but tried to convince himself he was fine, and he is know looking for confrontation through this, trying to motivate himself to make more as they were original and complex, to get that creative spark, that MACHINE working again, to really look for encouragement and motivation to really work at something... Coda is just a manifestation of himself he can't understand.
+The Llama One the creator is a character though, this was the actual author of the game describing basically someone who has completely lost contact with them selves, the games were only made for this game and in the story Davey and Coda are the same person struggling to understand them self, it's so deep and rich and really makes you think about the things in it... Makes you realise that the story in the game is the creator in the story is talking about himself, trying to motivate and make himself feel complete, it's absolutely amazing and breathtaking I can't get over how well it tells its story, it blows my mind!
I don't know why, but the maze at the end made me cry, and then she said "why do we try to be important when we're all just tiny little specks" and its true. Seeing an endless maze and realizing if I were to go through it, I would be lost, small, unimportant, unwanted, just, useless. That added to the fact that the voice was no longer, no comfort. Alone. Alone is the word to describe this. Unbelievable, we are all in our own world, we all have are own worlds, and as much as we try to be social and happy and know lots of people, we are all in our own world. We are all separated, left to fend for ourselves. Now short-term, that doesn't sound to bad, but if fate wants you to have a long life, and you do, doesn't that sound scary? I don't know, its just so gratifying.
the end made me cry too but ur so right its as if we are in our own world distancing everyone who comes acrossed us. it does feel as if the narator is coda because i feel like the lampost added in the things was what the narator as coda added to complete the games in a sence that he understood. this whole thing is so breathtaking as kassie said being friends with this guy i do wish the same just better knowing his personality could really make this more understandable. one last thing it was so sad how kassie sat there on the one level saying possitive things about making games as coda even though the game making was destroying him mentally
and yes i get this video and comment was from years ago but still and i hope you see this, i love your thinking and truely thought out topics
That is very depressing :c
the maze at the end was the puzzle that he wanted to solve but he does not have an answer to the maze keeps going it's his trapped emotions he can't find the end and can't move on unless he finds the way to his struggle but by now he should have found his end to the puzzle he unlocked a new future a new life he could have found it but he locked up himself instead of finding a way out coda is his depression and anxiety but Davey is the lost one he needs to know why he locks himself up and wants to keep everything away to everyone but coda stopped and quited and Davey thinks it's his fault he thinks he messed up there relationship and thinks there something wrong with him Davey wants coda to continue but coda doesn't listen because he lost all contact with Davey.
What
And people say games can't be art.
And who said that?
Alan Nguyen Bach Curmudgeonly journalists
+Alan Nguyen Bach A lot of people. Mostly uneducated old people, or art elitists.
MooseyFate To some people games are rotting our brains and have no purpose, to others it's a big work of art that is incredibly fun. Horror games get your heart racing, role play games let you play a person you made etc. Do you get what I'm say there?
Preach
(Btw I was your 100th like and for some reason i see that as an accomplishment for me and you)
I love how you look so interested, your eyes just light up! 😂
xXSky WintersXx ikr
Sky Winters I know she is soo pretty i love her xxx
Little Dude 🤔DO YOUR SHIT
Fantasy Gamer what are you talking about?
I have to say that there was no sympathy in her eyes. She just wanted more gameplay, I bet she didn't even pay attention to what this person was going through.
When Davey said "I have to go", she didn't think about him, she thought about herself and seemed to be anxious that there might be no more game.
Sorry I didn't upload yesterday, hopefully this hour long game makes up for it. It was super thought-provoking, and I can't wait to hear what you guys have to say!
+GloomGames play would u rather
+GloomGames Uhm. 1 hr video? Yes pls.
+GloomGames These kind of games are perfect for your channel and audience. I'm happy to watch you play them. Thank you :)
You should play jazzpunk
Play jasspunk!!!!
Spoilers
I'm unsure how obvious this was, but the last level "The Tower" was a test, "Coda" had previously mentioned numerous times that the hidden complexity behind the scenes in some of the levels were not there to be seen, not there to be viewed.
In the room above the stairs, one of the ideas is "A key in one game opens a door in a completely separate game"
In the game with the notes, ONE message appears twice, Devil, Tower, Star.
These are tarot cards, The numbers for these three? 15, 16, and 17. 151617 is the code to progress in the Tower.
In the final level Davey chose not to respect that, had Davey not violated the product Coda made and opened the door to proceed through the level, he would not have arrived at the messages telling him to not contact "Coda" again, if he had just let it go he could have said "I spent hours on the maze and found the key to the combination lock, but I couldn't figure out the room you fall into", then perhaps "Coda" would have replied.
The maze is 100 passable, it takes effort but friends are worth effort.
It's like me giving you a box, and saying "If you care about me, don't open it" and inside the box is a restraining order, which would only be necessary if you opened the box.
If Davey hadn't violated the game, he never would have been told to cease contact.
Wow! Very interesting take on what happened here!! Thank you so much for your comment and the formatting of it so the spoilers were down below
Yeah, to be fair though, this was already the last straw for Coda and I get the feeling he already expected Davey to hack the game because he knew he had been hacking all of his games so far and editing and showing them to people that he created an entire message behind the wall just to prove to him further that he does all these things.
Leaf, Gloom commented on this. You’re a legend.
I was thinking that the invisible maze is supposed to be a reference to Coda's life and was saying that he didn't know where to go next in life and he felt that if he made just one tiny mistake, everything would fall apart.
@@bennyjones1502 unless he knew about it…
I think I was meant to find this. Call me stupid or whatever, it's fine. But today I started to relapse into my depression. I had this big blowout with my mom and started to blame myself. I sat in my room for hours on end just staring at my lap. I eventually fell asleep and woke up an hour later, only to be completely tired as if I hadn't slept for days.... But then I saw this, because I went to my computer to distract myself, because I can't fall into my depression again. I have a place and I need to be there to keep it full. But I couldn't tell myself that. So when I saw this game, I realized I related to Coda. Whether he is real, fictional, or Daveys alter ego. I related to the personality of the name. And it made me feel better. Because maybe I'm not a creator of games and can't think of what to do. But he was out of ideas for a thing. And so was I. I was out of ideas about how I was good. But then this video mentioned something, low points. And that made me think, and feel better. Because "low points" are to be expected. Maybe I wasn't falling back into my depression and was just having a low point... ya know? Maybe everything's gonna get better after this. Maybe I won't blame myself tomorrow. It's just a low point.
Wow. I know this comment was posted 3 years ago, but this is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I hope your depression is better now, and know that you are absolutely loved. I don't even know if you'll see this, but that's an absolutely beautiful thing.
Well I'm the one 4 years late now but I love the way you worded this. Wish you the best.
@@seeingsparks I forgot about this post, and am 1 year late, but thank you! I still feel like Coda, I still can't finish anything I want to do and I struggle to find hobbies I can stay interested in, but I've learned to live with it and work around it. I'm doing much better now, I still have my down days for sure, but everything has definitely looked up since then. My mom is still a b**** though lol.
@@loongal Thank you! I totally forgot about this post and I appreciate it!
Holy crap, that is a POWERFUL game.
Also, just my two cents, but if you've read the book Looking for Alaska, the end kind of reminds me of when Alaska refers to her life as a labyrinth and she says that the only way to get out of it is "straight and fast" and I think it's funny how that labyrinth at the very end, the character got out of it through a straight hallway. I just think that's pretty cool.
@Shepard Daxton Kinda toxic but 'ight.
At first I saw the time stamp, and thought "sure, I'll check it out but I'm not watching the entire thing". I just finished the entire video because I couldn't imagine not finishing it. So many questions and revelations. Is it strange to say this was beautiful?
Thank you Kassie for sharing this collection of work with us.
+Jennifer Hall I thought it was so beautiful! I wish I could play it for the first time again
+GloomGames that was......very deep. soothing,and just very like a cool odd
+GloomGames ^ω^
+GloomGames you are one of the only people who make me laugh thank you for that
I'm not crying. Am I soulless?
See, this is what I wish gaming could be. Games could be just as emotionally gripping and real and varied in style and genre as movies if only developers would open their minds to them and start to fund creative and unique projects like this. I like a shooter every once in a while, too, but projects like this make me wish gaming could expand its horizons a bit more. Of course indie content that goes against the norm is slowly becoming more popular but it's not nearly as publicly accepted as I would like it to be.
+Tessie Ward I watched an interview from Davey after playing this, and he made the fantastic point that your intention will heavily influence what you create. As much as I love self-absorbed and reckless games that are created to indulge the person playing 95% of the time, I think games like The Beginner's Guide should be just as popular :).
The Feellllsss 😭😭😭
Also I love how kassie is giving an emotional speech then a second later she's sipping water with a ridiculous face 😂👌🏻✨👏🏻
I was so sucked into this story. It didn't seem to be so long!
It's strange... there are some parts about me that are a lot like Coda, and yet OTHER parts about me that are a lot like Dave (the character/narrator, not the actual creator). The floating trees portion of the Collection, The Tower, and Dave's self-reflection... they have and KEEP hitting me emotionally...
Maybe because Coda is just like another side of Davey
The Coda and Davey in this game are fictional. This Davey did not createThe Stanley Parable.
Coda is his love for game making, the happiness he gets from creating these games, the voice that pushed you through when times are tough. Game making is so personal to Coda, he wants to share it with no one. Davey is the part of him who want feedback, praise, happiness, validation. He wants people to look and see what he's done and tell him what they think.
Coda doesn't like this. Game making is personal. It's not something he wants others to see. He wants to isolate himself, wants no one to see it. These games are his. But Davey needs feedback-hell, he craves it. He wants it so bad that he'll show others even if he doesn't want to. He doesn't want people to see it yet he does want to. He convinces himself that not showing it to others is unhealthy. Why is he isolating himself? This isn't good. He sees that his games don't have an end, they're just things that don't go anywhere or do anything. Without commentary, they mean nothing or at least very little, at least to others. Coda wants this. He just wants to make games and not feel pressured to tag on a meaning. He doesn't want a solution.
Davey doesn't like this. So he makes destinations. he makes lampposts. He starts giving his games more meanings and destinations and reasons to exist. They aren't just space in a folder. And he hits a wall.
The ideas don't come, they don't want to come. He's stuck. He doesn't want to be stuck. It's not a pleasant feeling- no ideas coming. Just sitting, thing oh so hard, why won't they come? He won't ideas so bad he creates games off of no ideas. He tacks on meanings and is killing himself. Coda wants to just create games and Davey just wants people to like them and they're the same person and it's just one big mess. So he shows it to others. But what if they don't understand it? So instead of letting people come up with their own interpretations, walks them through it. They agree with his points- they make sense and they haven't played it w/o commentary so... Davey must be right. They like the games because of the meanings Davey just tags on.
I understand this feeling. I want to show my audience the meaning of this, instead of letting them find their own. I don't know why. I just want them to see it.
Coda and Davey are tearing themselves apart. Coda just wants the games, Davey wants validation, no one is happy. So one of them quits. A part of him realizes this needs to stop. Coda can't make games any longer because if they're just empty shells no one will ever see or want to see, then who would play them?
Empty, meaningless games don't stick with us. No matter how much hard work and care went into them, they don't stick because they're void of purpose. He realizes he can't just make games because games, he needs to give them a reason to exist.
Coda stops making games and Davey starts.
That or they both are just fucking amazing characters that are impossibly human. Seriously, if these are just two are just characters, I am beyond impressed.
Sassatron 1000 *everyone* n e e d s to see this comment
Sassatron 1000 you put it into words so perfectly well!!
Sassatron 1000 omfg these people are mental, you. Are. Insane. Do not assume things. Davey did make this game. Coda is the only thing made up. Not the character. The name. Coda=Daveys roommate "R". All events of this game are real. Please do not misguide people, especially about a game as important as this. Thank you.
Sassatron 1000 nope coda is john Rhee
I'm soooo not reading all that shit.
Kassie you're the only one who's videos over an hour I'll watch
not jse he doesn't interrupt in sentence he wait till the games voice talker stops then he talks but Cassie NEVER (sorry cass)
David Nebil True!
Haley ikr
One hour? what about 5 year's
Maybe the invisible maze means you can't see the struggle people go through till you find they r struggling and it's hard to deal with, like going through a invisible maze
shit i didnt even realize this was an hour
same
I was almost late for color guard
BlurryfaceLester well I literally looked up “long gloom games”
Lol same I thought it was like 20 mins
eri0nyx thanks for the warning
...Coda... Reminds me of... Me. And his games, remind me of my old diaries and drawings I used to channel my feelings towards. And whenever I felt lost, I would draw a story, (yes draw).
That's so meaning ful one day you'll create great things
And when you do create great big things don't hide them let everyone see your success!
That's beautiful! I'm so envious of people who are great at drawing. My favourite paintings always tell a story but the story behind them is often vague and left to individual interpretation. I wish I could pick people's brains without bothering them :P
GloomGames I'm not good at drawing tbh, and my drawings often look horrid to others, but to me it says something. :P
+GloomGames the same
This game is so..... beautiful.
Did anyone notice the sad grey messages on the perfection level
sorry there's something in my eye
-crying- n-no(?
Your crafting. 😹
my eyes are sweating
It must be dust because its in mine to
Me toooo
oh my gosh i have never seen anything like that i am confuzed how i feel about it
i want to be mad at the guy who put this out there but at the same time i am happy i was able to see it?
i think he should've done the games and talked to him about it and not have gone against his wishes his happiness is very important
but man this is THE coolest game out there i just don't know how to feel about it
+Shannon “forbidden unicorn kingdom” Coleman It's such a unique experience, I'm so thankful that it exists! I believe that Davey and Coda are the same person, but I could be wrong!
GloomGames me to! i fel like he is having a fight with him self
+Shannon “forbidden unicorn kingdom” Coleman No Coda is a real person and this "game" isn't supposed to be true he just put this out there to try to reach someone that he hurt long ago. So naive.
Coda and Davey are the same person.
Shannon Coleman i fucking totally get you, like...wow. Just...wow... i dont even know what to say to this.
Coda reminds me of, well me. I'm an author/writer. I would put all my feelings into a writing. Whenever I would feel lost or broken, I would write it out as a story.
+Caitlyn Burry same here. I also relate the story of Coda. I think he's lonely and wanted to do something that he liked and everybody would also like it.
He's a lot like me. Doesn't open up a lot.
I think I get what you mean! I used to always write out my most vulnerable feelings, and it was cathartic, but I wasn't very open to sharing the emotional state that inspired the "work". I suppose I would've felt violated if someone kept pushing me to share it. The way that The Beginner's Guide was able to share such a complicated topic in such a thought-provoking manner still inspires me to no end. I hope to read something you've written someday, if you're open to sharing!
+GloomGames I've actually began writing a story. I've realized that my experiences could give characters some depth in their personalitys. Like emotions, depression etc. I'd be honored to have such an inspiration like yourself to read my books or even my notes I've been working on for the past few hours. Thanks for replying to me, and just knowing that you would love to read it brings a huge smile to my face.
;-; feels
+Caitlyn Burry Same, with art and writing.
coda reminds me of kassie's sister from the way she explained her in the draw my life before her sister passed away.
Katana ™ me too
Kassie seems to imply that her sister was similar at one point in the video "He reminds me of someone.... That I used to know"
@@webkinzcats4 I thought that too yea
What a powerful game. I love the idea, I even felt bad for watching it, like I was doing something against Coda's wishes too, like I invaded his space.
+winterbleu Me too!! I felt so greedy.
Wow, this was just ... I have no words. Thanks so much for introducing me to this game. I absolutely adore the indie games on steam. I feel like they combine everything; music, storytelling, art and design. They can show you a whole different world. A world that may be inside of someone else's head. This was eye opening. Never had an hour go by so quickly
+MsGuitars666 I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the thoughtful comment
+GloomGames why did you eat the wrapper and please play fnaf 1 2 3 4 and fnaf world
+GloomGames play fnaf 1 2 3 4 5 please

I didn't realise how long it was when I clicked it and I still watched all of it.😸
same!

I feel like this game completely represents the anxiety and depression in my life. Playing both characters in real life. This took an emotional toll on me. Just to know that these things can make people so sad. And that we ARE just specks In this big big world. Glad this was created. Tells a story that we were told never to tell.
+Taylor Samuels Thank you for sharing, Taylor
+GloomGames it was sad and a-maze-ing
Taylor Samuels so true!
The music in the house cleaning game sounds like some of the music used in Life Is Strange...or am I the only one???
yes, and it also fucked up my psych like life is strange did.
olibae I honestly completely agree with you
Ahem
Atarashi Noto I loved Life is Strange,it was so interesting also sad that she had to either scarafice Chloe or the whole town. I loved when she saved Chloe,it was so sweet and beautiful 😊😍😃
I had a great pyrenees (a dog ) she's my profile pic her name was coda
I lost her to poison my neighbors hated her and killed her with rat poison she died on
Wednesday August 2 2017
Before I knew she couldnt move her back legs I could not get her up she was not eating or drinking I got a Friend to drive her to the vet they said she had to stay the night I was forced to leave her there I could not sleep that night she stopped breathing in the middle of the night cause I couldn't get her there sooner and it was all my fault her blood was,black and she was only 1 year 6 months 2 days old I talk to her every night I play with her favorite soccer ball in her favorite park And walk "her" favorite path with her every day 😭
If you read all of this thank you so much I'm not asking for likes I'm just telling you about my Lil girl , my Lil baby my Coda
I’m so sorry! I know how it feels to lose a pet, but I don’t know how it feels to you! I’m really sorry for you!! I know I’m late, but I just want to say, is your amazing
i know someones great pyrenees named Koda not coda but yeah he died of the extact same thing. but my friends great pyrenees died 2018-2019 i'm so sorry for you i hope you feel better now . (i know it's weird replying 4 yrs after but that's just stuff i do) Have a great day.
When I started: OMG THIS IS SO COOL!!! The games are so meaningful and I live it! This is so cool! I've never seen anything like it! I'm getting mah popcorn!
When I reached the middle: I think there might be a bigger picture... this is getting so interesting! Maybe Coda's dealing with something? Maybe his games are trying to communicate something?
When I reached the end: I am scarred.
I write books, I always use lampposts as symblism for people following after one another, as lights all flicker, their opinions changing and flickering on, at certain times, all at once
Wow that was......Very deep but, in a good way. that made me feel...well different good game.
Now I want to know if Coda is ok ;-;
Reddit found Coda
Pretty sure they're fictional characters. Nevertheless I'm sure Coda will be okay, but Davey still needs a lot of work.
Everyone's like "Coda.. reminds me of me.." or "OMG Coda is literally ME!!!"
And i'm like.
"Meh. They're the same person after all. Davey's cool tho."
haha the only gaming channel that could actually inspire me to share my art with people! seriously Kassie, what's with your superpowers to make people believe in themselves?!
+FrootKat Davey deserves more thanks than I do! Please do share! But it's cool how your kind of like Coda, you create to express yourself! Luv u!
The part with the switch on the other side of the door kind of... spoke to me. I know what the answer is, but I can't reach it... Yet anyways. Also I can relate the just being sick of people thinking I'm broken or upset or scared.
And when I finally do open up, everyone takes it way to far and makes it something it isn't.
Wow. This game was more powerful than I had expected it to be. I feel that we are all like Davey and Coda in a way and its just so deep.
Honestly, this is like my five hundred bazillionth time watching this. I love your commentary and the fact that you experienced anxiety and depression (I watched you draw my life) it's more meaningful to me. Thanks Kassie
wow this game is truly beautiful, I really enjoyed watching this video, wow, just wow.
I really love the selection of games you choose on this channel.
me too
Omg I watched this like 50 times and every time I'm sad. I literally had this on loop while I was painting
i didnt realise it was a hour long until i was 9 minutes into it
i haven't been watching you long but you have a real kindness and empathy that really comes through in your videos. i think that's really great, you're really great.
I just can't believe that I sat here for an hour watching it, but it really was soooo amazing! *_*
Btw, I love your way of presenting, you just seem to be such a warm, heartfelt person, I'm really looking forward to your next vids :)
+Bloodredswan Aw, thank you so much
I'd watch but I have to play this first :'( I'M SURE THIS IS GREAT!
kisic I LIVE YOU
+Thomas Bryant i live him too
Typeo
+KSic In Virtual Reality ME AND MY FRIEND LOVE YOUR CHANNEL !!!!
This game has actually meant a lot to me, even though I don't personally know anything about it, just the emotions it expresses, it's concept, each of the struggles, the problems within it, even the narrator's
This is such a comforting video for me, I always come back to watch🥺
Probably the reason talented people hide their stuff is because it's a tiny piece of yourself, and if you release it, then it'd be like posting yourself.
Woah. So creative and thought-provoking and dark and beautiful... I can't get over it. Definitely hit close to home. It's amazing how abstract emotion and experiences are able to be personified by way of interactive game play. Truly an art form. So many feeels!
+Alethea Spencer Totally agree!!
I'm out of words... This game hit me so deep and I feel all the emotions at the same time. This is what you call art.
Every year since the video came out, i sit down and watch this every Christmas Eve, I don’t know why but i do
that Gloom intro was probably my favourite of all time :D
I think it says something about a person by how you think this story will end as the game goes on. The entire time you were playing this game I was sure that the other designer had committed suicide & that these games were hidden notes left for his friends to piece together, whereas you stayed optimistic the entire time.
+jacksonbegg Cool observation!! Thank you for sharing
I didn't realize how long this was but it was worth it!!!
watching this was an emotional Journey put through by millions this is truly a beautiful and touching. the amount of time that was put into this the amount of work months years and it truly is a beautiful thing. (and I do hope that these two friends hopefully met each other again in the end)
+RUclips is Lyfe I don't like watching things like this because they kinda remind me of how much I try to keep certain emotions away and how usless it makes me feel that I don't know the people who made them I want to help them but I can't and I.... it just makes me feel so sad
Wait... in the end, he killed himself? The ending is the laser beam, remember? He walked into the laser beam to sacrifice himself last time the character did. So, is this game a little more depressing than it seems?
I was touched so much by Coda's games. I understand were he comes from, as I have been a part of that lonely universe more times than once. I cried multiple times and asked myself the questions that appeared. This is the type of amazing work that comes out from someone who is underappreciated, but deserves much more. Coda, your work is amazing and complex. You deserve to be appreciated and I hope you are okay.
Best "Gloooom" ever!
Jessa Lehman I
Sometimes I feel like Davey is part of Coda's split personality that wants to love Coda and be proud of Coda and at the same time, he sounds like a separate person who's insanely in love with Coda.
I've seen so many videos of this game, I can't get enough of it. When I first played this myself, it's such a moving experience. And coda sounds like an amazing person.
23:17 "There's no prison, but there's no escape is there?" for some reason this seemed like a more meaningful statement in a so far, more goofy or enthusiastic commentary. Kassie really hit it right on the nail.
This video is so meaningful to me, im not sure why. I watched this a few years ago and suddenly I remembered this video and how much I loved it and how interesting it was to me. I kept trying to remember the title and finally I did. I'm so excited to watch this again because its such a cool thing to me.
Edit: I got to the housecleaning part and now im crying

I-I am in an endless maze. It's called Life. Sometimes the darkest places in that maze can be the most beautiful. And sometimes... you feel hopeless. But then, a small cat comes along. That cat is called hope, a silver lining. That cat won't get you out of that maze, it will make you enjoy it. With the help and work of Coda that I have just witnessed... Well that is one of my cats. Coda, if you see this, PLEASE continue your games. It might,no,it WILL help someone like me out of the very deepest,darkest places in the long,long, maze. Thank you. For showing me the reason why we keep going and persevere. Thank you.
after 6 years i will always come back to this video >.< it’s so beautiful
me: okay it's an hour. I'm not gonna watch it all cause I have work to do.
Also me: *binges the entire gameplay*
An hour-long gloom video? Yes please!! 💗🤓🙌🏻
I definitely didn't think I'd actually watch the whole hour but I did lol it was quite intriguing.
That was beautiful. I'm so glad I watched the whole thing. It makes you really think. Whoever made this game is a pure genius
This made me cry jsut knowing that so many talent everyone has and they just get in a cocoon just hide in a Shell when they should just be themselves, Kassie thanks for briging this to me, Just Thanks.
this game is beautiful
it honestly isn't a game it is his life
which I think is beautiful
Gloom: " someone that I used to know." Me thinking was it her sister that passed? Gloom said she was talented way funnier.
For some reason this has always been my favourite video of yours, and one of the first I actually watched from you. Just wanted to let you know how amazing you are! Been watching you for years.
I watched it all the way through and I don't regret it. It was very calming.
did anyone else think the narrator sounded like thomas sanders
I totally can relate to this, and its sad :( But i loved the meaning of this
This game was really cool and thought provoking, it's probably one of my favorites, so it was super cool to see you play it!
I've watched this video from beginning to end countless times. It is such an amazing video.
Mom: COME HERE!
Me: ok *pauses video*
Me: *comes back* OMG AN HOUR LONG??!!
My first thought that he liked making prison games because, he feels like hes stuck and he cant escape, i feel like that alot i have many things that make me feel loney and like i have no one nothing nothing at all, i feel like dying, i dont know why i feel like im in room where i cant escape, where i feel like nothing, i just want to go in a hole and die
Edit: Jesus my spelling a year ago was trash. xD thanks for 3 likes
I love it when you read along with the narrator because I do that too, love you kassie❤️
I love the background music in the housecleaning game!! It is SO relaxing and pretty-sounding!
This game design is so awesome 🤔
*when you see the game is one hour*
woah ok
Never have I ever stayed through an entire 1 hour long video... and let me tell you I went threw an emotional roller coaster. I felt happy, sad, and confused, but in a sense it was beautiful
this whole thing was so AWSOME! you made the 1 hour long vid be a journey for me..
I think that Coda Is Davey
Ya think?
Idk but this game makes me want to cry😭
I'm now seeing this in 2017 and I never realized how much I needed to see and hear this story. It's so deep and meaningful, but it's also relatable in the darkest part of subconsciousness. The message of this just really makes me want to show this to anybody who's going through a tough time, but at the same time, It hurts to even think about showing this because it's just so emotional
I am overwhelmed by the creativity. It is amazing.
You should play The Unfinished Swan, I think you would enjoy this game. Meanwhile, I'll sit back and watch this awesomely long video. :D
+Jessica Giraldo I hope you enjoy the game as much as I did!!
+GloomGames It was surprisingly an amazing game. I usually prefer action-filled games, but this was great. I was thinking to myself "what a great game to just mindlessly get away from life", then the game got personal. Lol. Loved it!
Ooh!! The Unfinished Swan is incredible!! I'd love to see you play it +GloomGames (warning! I did get almost like, a motion sickness from playing it which has never happened to me with any other game)
I am GLOOOOOOOM
that was by far the most amazing interactions i've ever seen....i hope he makes more games soon!
Hey kass, this vid was amazing keep making videos like this! I was kind of scared in parts but I like it
im crying
plz save me
its so sad
Coda reminds me of well. me cause that's me I create games that are very creative but now I realize that these games that I make just means no since and I well don't know what is coming next And I should think about more game ideas and finally realse them cause I just make games and abandoned them if I could get a comment or a like I will realse my games and sell them have a happy merry Christmas eve
Gloom I loved watching you play this game.I was fascinated with this game
I've seen this video in my suggestions box, but now that I clicked on it, I freaking love this game!
LOL.
LONG.
but very meaningful.
i will finish tomorrow xD
Same
Is the story with Coda real ? Can someone tell me ?
Yep :(
Davey is a real person. He and coda were very good friends. Dave he did actually show his games against his will. The last game of codas was actually cod as his last game. It was only meant for Davey because he knew that Davey was the only person that could open the door to get to the end of the level. The last game was made by Davie as a cry for help to coda
Nope
lol at the two people replying making shit up. No, coda isn't a real person. It would be illegal to release his games like that. It's a fictional scenario between a made up guy called Coda and an alter ego of Davey to make it seem more plausibly real.
+Cecily Alexander I KNOW! It's so genius and it tells its story fantastically! It really makes you think about the possibilities and doesn't flat out tell you that the characters are the same person, doesn't even hint at it, it really brings across the feeling of not understanding your self or loosing a part of you, the character setting up questions for the other side to answer, it's amazing, I'm going to try to tackle a story like this eventually, I just love it so much!
It makes me see the world in a different way I think he made his games for him. Maybe his games made him happy, and to show meaning in everything we do. Thanks for playing this video game :)
I know im a bit late, like 2 years late, but i have to say this is my favorite video from you. I honestly wished i had found your channel sooner.
