How to survive the deep Swedish forest 101: - Do not listen to the naked man playing violin in the lake/river/stream. He is trying to drown you. - Do not get on the back of the strange horse near a lake/river/stream. It is trying to drown you. - Do not go down into any abandoned mines without knocking and announcing your presence, or else the lady of the mine will not be pleased and she might try to drown you by flooding the mine. - Do not lay with strange naked ladies who never turn their backs to you. Their backs are hollow like an old log and they might take your soul. Otherwise, they are fairly nice and might actually not try to drown you. Unless they live in a lake. Then they'll most likely try to drown you. - Do not follow strange lanterns into the woods at night. It is small lantern men, and they are trying to decieve you. - Give the lost, crying child a name. It will haunt you until you do. Basically, don't be entranced by strange and beautiful creatures, be polite when entering mines, and give nameless children a name. Then you'll be fine.
@@hectorsumaoang2320 Probably because bodies of water in a cold climate are insanely dangerous to fall into, even if you know how to swim. You go into shock quickly from the sudden temperature drop and your heavy clothes get waterlogged instantly so you can barely move. Unless someone can drag you out and warm you up, you'll most likely die from hypothermia or drowning. So stories like these help people be cautious around water.
As a Swede it's cool to see this! Like a mix of a bunch of old cautionary tales about the woods, like Näcken and Skogsrået + other tales and childrens stories.
It's so cool! I'd love to see something about Bäckahästen as well. Imagine a gorgeous never-ending horse as a boss fight, trying to lure you onto its back and into the depths. And to spur on the horror element, imagine the cries and decaying bodies of other children who has already met this fate, unable to ever get of the horse's back. Forever stuck, drowning over and over. I would be thrilled to see something like that.
before anyone replies to this with their jaw dropped to the floor (most likely americans) saying “CHILDREN’s STORIES??” yes some are from stories told to children
@@RenTheFen aye most fairytales/folk tales were pretty dark in original tellings. Now modern-day retellings cut out most of the conflict and moral lessons to not scare the children. Kinda ironic cause most of these are cautionary tales. So most people would probably be shocked by this take. (Especially if you only watch Disney adaptions.)
When they started singing "Den blomstertid nu kommer" I had such a hard time placing it at first, because my brain was in English-mode. "Why does this song sound so familiar? And what language is that?"
When I first started watching your vids, I really appreciated that you never had any voiceovers, just pure gameplay. It's been a hot minute since I've been able to watch any, but I'm glad to see you're still going and even have so many subscribers now!!! Keep it up!
The beginnings animation where he pulled himself out the statue and stood up, the detail with how his foot came out his shoe slightly, was just nice to see because it just shows how much they are paying attention towards the detail and making it as realistic as it can be. Although I will say I wish the boy we played as was more expressive vocally so that I could connect to it more. Because it feels like playing on a mmo where the avatar has a default expression on 99% of the time, which makes it feel less real, and makes me detached.
So you sang the marvellous version of "Den blomstertid nu kommer" ? do you know if there is a separate recording, that can be listened to here ? I just answered a comment above from someone who gave the title of the song, but your voice is so etherial it is just pure magic. Thanks for that.
@@JeromeC1967 wow this makes me so happy! This version of ’den blomstertid’ is only available in the game atm But who knows. Maybe it Will be released some day
Is this out or in development? The graphics look pretty good but if we’re comparing to something like Little Nightmares it needs more polishing in terms of animation and audio design to stack up. I don’t know the context of the team making it though so maybe it’s not fair comparing it to that but I’m just going by what I’m seeing.
"Den blomstertid nu kommer" (which is played from 1:33) is probably one of the most beautiful songs ever made. it´s a Swedish psalm which is sung when our children have summer holiday. My kids sing it, i sang it, my parents sang it and my grandparents sang it. it beautifully encapsulate the feeling of summer in the nordic regions. i actually cried when i heard it sung by a church full of kids last summer. it´s sort of a catalyst of relief for that the harsh winter months are over.... for now. roughly translated: 1. The flowering times are coming with lots of desire and beauty Sweet summer is approaching where grass and crop sprout the gentle sun awakens everything that once was dead it covers it all with verdure and everything is reborn 2. The beautiful flower meadows And fields of noble grain The rich herb beds And all the green tree´s Shall everyday remind us the riches of god´s goodness Let grace come to our senses which last´s all year round¨ theres a total of 6 verses.. but i think you get the gist of it..
The moment of the game when this song comes in is pure magic. Thanks for clarifying @michael with the good song title I found this marvellous version on youtube (ruclips.net/video/z0M-z0ZQ_M8/видео.html) and I just understand why you cried, because I cried too. Thanks for this.
Wow! Thanks for the illumination on this. I've always liked Celtic music from very young age, because my mother like to play Celtic music on her guitar. This was kind of reminiscent of those years.💚
@@boarfaceswinejaw4516 Absolutely. Scandinavia is not all hard yards as they say. There is tenderness and beauty to be found a-plenty when you actually look for it. A shame that popular media doesn't portray Scandinavia like that all too often.
Was this game inspired by Little Nightmares and UNRAVEL? I see a lot of peculiarities in the similarity between the games, both in the composition of the graphics design and in the mechanics in general. The game looks promising and depending on the way it goes, I dare say it will compete for awards.
the art direction of this game is brutal, it literally looks like a playable movie, if this is a demo, I will have to see the whole full game because it looks awesome.
There is something about the contrast between the hyper-realistic graphics and the very, very videogame-ish movement of the boy that make the game kind of unnerving on it's own, no monsters needed.
@@uoj4468 basically a bit christian style song thats about things being dead regrowing. New life in nature and the sounds of birds and more from nature. Time of crops growth. Its common (or was) for us to sing it before the approaching summer in all schools in Sweden.
Honestly this is one of the most unsettling games I've seen. Partially because of the fact there's these horrifying creatures in broad daylight and also just the uncanny quality of the graphics(imo).
The art & shading caught my interested! This has lots of potential! Especially when the creature notice the little guy, stopped playing the instrument and jumped into the water. Oh boy, that gave me so much fear!
I've been playing games since the 80s and THIS is the game I've always wanted to play! Dense forestry, fantasy realm with mushrooms, monsters and pixies!! GIMMIE!! :D
I played and loved the demo, just seen the trailer for the full game, and I'm very much eager to play it! However, I have to shift some of this back catalogue before I purchase a new game (very much involved in Forbidden West currently 😀)
Ever since my introduction to Swedish folklore via art history and a few other classes, I’ve learned so much and just been so, so interested. Maybe you guys have a word for it, but the music and visdev of this game is so beautifully haunting. It gives me goosebumps in a good way. Slightly terrified by the bright whimsical darkness of it all, but too into it to not stay immersed.
The hard cut into the death scene was a little jarring. Plus the setup of the PC getting controlled by the sound of the music could have been done better. As is, it looks like they just suddenly got drunk
It’s mostly Swedish traditional/folk music. The first song for example, is a Swedish psalm. The music when the child gets possessed and slides down the hill is played with the “nyckelharpa”, a keyharp (also a traditional Swedish instrument).
Man, this got me feeling nostalgic. The song at 1:45 is a psalm, commonly sung in Swedish schools before summer break. It's pretty, but back in the day I couldn't wait for it to be over.
lmaoo i feel the same way about some church songs here in italy!! whether i like it or not and as much as i disliked them as a kid, i still got childhood feelings attached to them
This has SO much potential! Being from Norway myself i absolutely love the focus on our folklore, it really reminds if 'Unravel' and 'Little Nightmares' had a child. I think it still needs some TLC and Polish with the character animations (mostly with the main character), but I'm really loving what they have done so far! I specially love the fight with Fossergrim/Water Fey. They managed to make the character really creepy and scary!
As a Swede i can confirm our parents tells us that Näcken (The monster in the game) is gonna take us and drown us if we would go near the water when we were kids. A little boy who played the violin so beautifully it tricked people into the water. And don't go in the woods because of the trolls. So cool to see these things in games.
There's a beautiful irony to how scary stories can prevent unknowing, still developing children from entering dangerous situations. I guess all things in moderation, though, so that the fear doesn't take over or become unbearable.
Wow! Now this is one to be exited for. Even if it just ends up being mostly platforming gameplay wise (which I doubt honestly) it'll still be interesting just to explore this world from this small perspective.
I worked in Stockholm for 6 months in 2009. I don't know if it was because it was around Christmas or if it's like that all year, but that little fella at 2:40 was in every stores I went - except they had huge puffy beards and big round noses. I bought one from each store, ended up with 11, gave the biggest to my sis, the smallest to my cat, the rest for my Christmas tree. I just love 'em and I don't know why!?
@@Dronmpf It's called "Den blomstertid nu kommer" ("Now the time of blossoming arrives" is the best translation I can think of). It's a traditional Swedish summer hymn from the end of the 17th century sung. The lyrics tell of the beauty and revival that nature goes through during the shift from spring to summertime.
What I like about this little demo, it really feels like the game development team really took the time to try and transport the player into another world. The environment, scale, music, it really just ties so well together and really gets me excited for this game!
these intros are made fresh or you got a bunch of em and edit the text up top either way, im glad you're still around showing these relatively obscure games to us
this monstr is VODYANOI? In Slavic mythology, vodyanoy or vodyanoi (Russian: водяно́й') is a water spirit. In Czech and Slovak fairy tales, it is called vodník (or in Germanized form: Hastrman), and it is considered to be the equivalent creature as the Wassermann or nix of German fairy tales. Wasserman it would hint to somebody... I wonder one thing in the game where monster hide violin? Becouse wet violin dont play at all.
Oh man. The song starting at 1:40 is the one we used to sing before every summer break in school. Nostalgia is hitting hard. The name of the song is "Den blomstertid nu kommer"
I know very little of Nordic Folklore and this still looks very fun. Fiddler part was very cool and I liked the little creatures you could only notice in the grass if you're that small.
6:11 I would purposefully run under branches just inches above my head without ducking. Those tricksy gnomeitses can't be trusted. They stole our precious.
I randomly found the demo for this game on the PS5, downloaded it though haven't given it a go yet. Now, after seeing this I'm straightaway going to play the demo, & can't wait to dive into this beautiful and terrifying acid trip after an 80's Dead show!!! Stunning game!!
The layering/textures/colors of the standing water has to be the most realistic I've ever seen in a game. Looks obviously don't make a game good, but it's notable to me for the sake of attention to detail put into it
as a Nord i find this to be pretty cool. lil nightmares by way of norse folktales is a great idea. so many great fucked up tales involving kids and trolls and stuff. use to be obsessed with them when i was little.
Norway has two people named Asbörnsen and Mo who traveled the country many many years ago. Taking down folktales and lore. I guess they would be pretty much in Sweden. As I doubt any two nations are more similar than us. We had Trolls, Nøkken, Draugen, Dovregubben, Huldra, Fjøsnissen, and last of all Fossekallen.
So glad this popped up on my feed, I love this style of experiential games, less about button mashing and killing everything in sight, and more about living the experience of the character you control. Huge fan of Inside, Limbo, Little Nightmares... Unravel is next on my list. Now this is next next!
This is the coolest and best looking game ever. The cinematic camera, the sudden shift from peaceful forest to agonizing danger... I need to play this.
This has been a long time coming. Wow, the technology finally able to produce the imagery. The tool finally giving what the artist imagined. More like this.❤

For those who are confused in nordic folk lore trolls turn to stone in sunlight. That's why he was in the statues hand.
There is a movie about a group of college students interviewed a hunter who hunts trolls. The hunter uses the UV light to turn the trolls into stones.
@@zestytriss5282 I've seen that, Troll Hunter. It's a great movie to watch while tripping/stoned off your ass.

why is everything out to drown people

Everything can drown you, wtf
- In Australia, every animal want to kill you.
- In Sweden, every mythical creature want to drown you.
The way the Fossegrim abruptly stops playing the fiddle and turns its head over is so creepy
He may eat the heads of tiny children, but you can’t deny he’s sick on the fiddle. You gotta learn to separate the art from the artist guys.
Yeah I'd definitely hire him to play on my children's birthday part.
That's what we all do all the time. We listen to music from rapists and love paintings from pedophiles. So yeah.
Hahahahaha!
🤣
It should be a Tagelharpa, not a fiddle/violin.

The sequence where tiny player is riding a hedgehog with even tinier gnome is so adorable.
the water tho

The Fossegrim are pretty scary, the "boss escape" It was challenging enough, I hope it will be polished if the game develops well.
Ohh yes!!!

Probably 17th century or 18th century.

As a Swede i can confirm our parents tells us that Näcken (The monster in the game) is gonna take us and drown us if we would go near the water when we were kids. A little boy who played the violin so beautifully it tricked people into the water. And don't go in the woods because of the trolls. So cool to see these things in games.

In Slavic mythology, vodyanoy or vodyanoi (Russian: водяно́й') is a water spirit. In Czech and Slovak fairy tales, it is called vodník (or in Germanized form: Hastrman), and it is considered to be the equivalent creature as the Wassermann or nix of German fairy tales.
Wasserman it would hint to somebody...
I wonder one thing in the game where monster hide violin? Becouse wet violin dont play at all.
This game looks amazing. You did such a good job with your gameplay. And the death scene was brutal. Keep up the great work.
Absolutely blown away by how good this looks. I can tell exactly how the lily pads and rocks would feel
The creature designs have a real Henson feel about them, and I can get behind that.
5:30 holy shit, is that David the Gnome?!
The graphics are excellent, the instrumental at minute 4:11 is exquisite
AAHHHH COME ON, ITS THE DEMO?!
Oh man. The song starting at 1:40 is the one we used to sing before every summer break in school. Nostalgia is hitting hard.
The name of the song is "Den blomstertid nu kommer"
5:05 don't do it, ABG! You know how going into trolls' hands went for you the last time (as shown by the video's beginning)
I know very little of Nordic Folklore and this still looks very fun. Fiddler part was very cool and I liked the little creatures you could only notice in the grass if you're that small.
It’s like little nightmares but Nordic
Got some serious Little Nightmares vibes. Incredible artwork too!
Did you 🤤
This game looks lovely :D
your videos stopped showing up on my algorithm, had to seek them out! love the new intro/outro, super cute and cool
6:11 I would purposefully run under branches just inches above my head without ducking. Those tricksy gnomeitses can't be trusted. They stole our precious.
This feels _a lot_ like INSIDE. In fact, this exact same puzzle:
14:18
occurs in INSIDE. I'm not complaining -- it looks awesome!
This is too beautiful for words.
I randomly found the demo for this game on the PS5, downloaded it though haven't given it a go yet. Now, after seeing this I'm straightaway going to play the demo, & can't wait to dive into this beautiful and terrifying acid trip after an 80's Dead show!!!
Stunning game!!
This reminds me of folklore for the PS2. Love this, I hope it comes to consoles.
Wasn't that game only on PS3?? Can't remember a port for the ps2
@@Rolfhn my bad, you're right, it's on my PS3. 😛. Still an awesome game though. Closest video game that reminded me of Labyrinth
The layering/textures/colors of the standing water has to be the most realistic I've ever seen in a game. Looks obviously don't make a game good, but it's notable to me for the sake of attention to detail put into it
as a Nord i find this to be pretty cool. lil nightmares by way of norse folktales is a great idea.
so many great fucked up tales involving kids and trolls and stuff. use to be obsessed with them when i was little.
Norway has two people named Asbörnsen and Mo who traveled the country many many years ago. Taking down folktales and lore.
I guess they would be pretty much in Sweden. As I doubt any two nations are more similar than us.
We had Trolls, Nøkken, Draugen, Dovregubben, Huldra, Fjøsnissen, and last of all Fossekallen.
I love the opening
Man it's weird when you recognize all of the creatures. Fantastic job!
this game is absolutely stunning oh my god
this looks incredible just even the thumbnail
Omg!!! Is this running on unreal engine 5 ? This game is Awesome! Can't wait for its full release... 😉👍
Thanks for the funny wordplay at the end, I'mma steal it to tell my gaming buddies from across the pond. :D
8:23 cruel☹️
13:32 unexpected 😱
I’m blown away everything about this is gorgeous, I only ever watch letsplays but I actually want to play this
I like this take on Näcken, quite creepy I'll admit!
Is that the name of the tale it's based on?
@@setsurarara No it's the creature playing the violin and chasing the boy. It's a carnivorous river spirit who hypnotize people with it's music.
@@SebbeB89thought about the Pied Piper, really gives me these vibes
So glad this popped up on my feed, I love this style of experiential games, less about button mashing and killing everything in sight, and more about living the experience of the character you control. Huge fan of Inside, Limbo, Little Nightmares... Unravel is next on my list. Now this is next next!
This reminds me of Ico. Amazing ps2 game. The world itself and camera movement is just outstanding. Well done!
That's so cool! Can't wait to see the full game 🤩
Dude, this looks astonishingly good. The moment the Giant stopped playing the music was intense as.
That thing was EVIL! Looking forward to that.
I'm predicting SO many gaming channels doing playthroughs of this beautiful looking game! 😍
dudes under 6ft be like
Unrealistic. That lake spirit wanted head from him.
This is the coolest and best looking game ever. The cinematic camera, the sudden shift from peaceful forest to agonizing danger... I need to play this.
This is the real herculad adventure
This has been a long time coming. Wow, the technology finally able to produce the imagery.
The tool finally giving what the artist imagined.
More like this.❤
Did he just murder the guy locked in a cage?? Lol
Scandinavian folklore when the moral of the story is wiping your own ass:
The thumbnail should be a meme XD
