It's not even a melon. It a watermelon. A subtle difference, but really make things different. Watermelon does make the fear sound, due to so many of it being smashed brutally by so many anime beach episode
Sooo I looked up the "sound of true fear" because what a gloriously absurd concept and it's apparently really a thing? It's a 19hz frequency, and since human hearing starts at 20hz we can't hear it but we do perceive the vibrations, which confuses the hell out of our brain. Ain't that neat!
I think my favourite thing about Andy and Jane getting spooked is their shared instinct to respond by yelling a semi-relevant word. “Argh, darkness!” “Argh, membrane!” Bless them. Also, the sound of true terror is a horny mountain lion. Good to know?
"I'm telling you I found the head's like that." Why did I pick them up? "Well I Couldn't find my basket ball and I needed to practice for tryouts." What's with all the questions and why are you wearing a wig and banging a hammer?
Science time! There is actually a sound of primordial fear. But it's a sort of infra-sound; low frequency noise just below the threshold of human hearing. You can't hear it with your ears, but you can sort of detect the vibrations through other methods, so your body is subconsciously aware of it. It's been tied to feelings of fear, unease, distress, and is believed to play a role in the perception of ghost hauntings and the like. It's also a frequency lions make, so its presumed to have its roots as a partially-developed method of detecting predators in cave-man days. Yay, science!
But if that's true, wouldn't it be a *bad* idea to wear headphones while playing this game? If they really use that sound, headphones don't exactly have subwoofers to play them. And where are you gonna feel he vibrations, anyway? In your ears?
Caitlin RC I hate making phone calls too! It’s an actual phobia of mine. Horror games don’t tend to scare me that much ( maybe I just haven’t played enough of them) but making phone calls does! Lol
Or receiving a phone call with the dreaded "unknown number" Wait you want me to answer a call in which I don't know who is on the other end. No thanks And how exactly did they call me if their number isn't known? I guess none of us would make the cut in a call center.
I know, that's why for centuries people ran into battle clutching watermelon slices, chomped into them and spat the seeds at their enemies. Most successful invading forces used watermelon warfare.
At 6:36, a transient ischemic attack is caused by a temporary blockage in an artery providing oxygen to the brain, not an infection. The scariest thing about this game is the lack of medical knowledge! 😂
Doing a little bit of research turns up that not only do some heart infections increase the chances of a TIA (as per the Mayo Clinic), a separate study turned up a positive correlation between many differing types of infections and the chances of suffering an acute ischemic stroke (with the highest correlation between UTIs and AISs).
@@samtownend6744 Don't worry, it's jut because I've had 4 virgin media sale people turn up at my door in 5 days and I needed to send a stronger message. I'm not indiscriminate.
RIP Melon, he got a first from Cambridge and dreamed of being the best darn doctor there ever was, he survived the initial horror but nothing could save him from being dropped by Andy.
Mass Effect 3 : "Let's psychologically torment our players with a scientifically designed sound for the Reapers that will disturb them down to the subconscious level in order to make them experiment a glimpse of what it is like to confront eldritch horrors beyond reckoning !" The One We Found : "Meh, just put in some screams and tell them it's the sound of true fear. Oh, and skip the autocorrect, we can't afford it either." Still, at least Jane and Andy are just as funny as ever :)
The sound of the reapers was meant to be disturbing? I always thought it sounded like a car horn with a bit of added base. In fact the only thing that bothered me with the sound of the Reapers was that it was unnecessarily loud compared to the rest of the game.
Honestly, it was a great idea, though. They psychologically trick the player into a state of fear that he thinks is induced from an unheard source. I was honestly trembling just reading that bit, and I *knew* it was all crap.
Frightening games are not exactly the best thing to watch when you have work in less than an hour, but dang it if it isn't fun to hear Andy get spooked.
You think a skeleton crawling right at you would be terrifying... you don't think a skeleton crawling directly away from you would be hilarious ... ah the things we learn playing video games
My grandmother actually had a TIA last month. They're pretty scary though she didn't completely lose consciousness, she was just really confused and unable to form words or understand anything that was going on for like an hour or so.
Jane and Andy when presented with a spoopy door: We'd better find the key. Me when presented with a spoopy door: OH WELL I SHOULD PROBABLY GO HOME NOW AND NOT GO TO THIS SCARY PLACE EVER.
Jane: Let's worry about that bridge when we burn it i guess you cant worry about the bridge when it's not burning, but why are you the one setting them on fire
I think the tried and tested OxBox Safety Beanie™ would make a great addition to your merch - I'd certainly buy one to protect me when watching these vids.
Jane: "...it's like when you finish a Skyrim dungeon..." Me: Finishes a Skyrim dungeon at the same time. All hail Jane the all-seeing!! *On his knees worshiping*
"They're not Decapitated, their heads are just really bloody" I mean, why can't the be Decapitated, INSIDE the Body bags Jane? The Body bags would keep the heads nicely positioned inside, so no-one would know. It's the perfect Crime! Wait, no... They'd still get me for murder... Damn, should've thought of that before I... did absolutely nothing, at all. Honest.
sorry about being "that guy", but music at 8:54, is not Mozart, it is Beethoven's "Für Elise". Also known as the single piece of music that every classical piano student has to play. Good content thou, scarred Andy is best Andy
That 'ding' when you pick up an item is identical to the 'ding' in Slender, so much so I was honestly expecting him to suddenly appear and slender-up Andy as he so often does
The guns sounded different because they were. The first one was a glock which is a 9mm. Then Andy picked up a colt m1911 from in top of the crate, which is a .45 calibre pistol.
Sound of fear, isn't that infrasound? 19hz. Suppose to mess with your head and vision. Some believe that is why people see ghosts or things just at the corner of their eyes
I was mildly surprised to search Victor Tandy & discover that the “sound of fear” is a real thing (though I didn’t see any indication he called it that). I was much less surprised to do a little additional searching and see that most consumer speakers can’t reproduce sounds in that range. For the obvious-when-you-think-about-it reason that there’s no need for ordinary speakers to be capable of playing sounds outside the range of human hearing (especially if those sounds tend to trigger panic attacks).
3:27 - Is this an underground station? No, this is shop, abandoned, probably haunted and very spooky. (There is a broken sign on russian - M(a)gazin with missing a. Funny cause they called Cyrrilic alphabeth - glyphs ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ.
The cyrillic at the start was магазин (magaziin) which is russian for shop :) (Since learning Russian I can't play/watch games which use cyrillic to show things are Russian without getting annoyed, but this game is actually using real Russian so it's cool :) )
Those "it will find you" messages are pretty reassuring. It's good to know a game isn't relying on me having a sense of direction. That would be the true horror.
i'm sad andy broke the watermelon instead of carrying it throughout the level, i was hoping it could replace his security broom. it could have been the start of an amazing friendship XD
The most important question: Where is Mike along with the sofacam? Did he want to protect his sanity? I mean not from the spookenings, but simply the game.
This game is so dark that i can see my reflection in the screen stuffing my face with gingerbread... This really is a horror game
Did you just turn off your monitor, because you were scared...? =_=
I didnt notice till I read your comment and saw myself eating crab cheese lol
'We will cross that bridge when we burn it' Jane Douglas 2018 words to live by!
The melon does, in fact, not produce the fear sound.
It only produces meloncholy.
Now I'm infinitely sad.

(I like that :D )
It's not even a melon. It a watermelon. A subtle difference, but really make things different. Watermelon does make the fear sound, due to so many of it being smashed brutally by so many anime beach episode
I have to applaud to you, friend. That pun made me lose my rind... er... mind.
Jane and Andy getting through this game by putting their heads together... in the same hat
Sooo I looked up the "sound of true fear" because what a gloriously absurd concept and it's apparently really a thing? It's a 19hz frequency, and since human hearing starts at 20hz we can't hear it but we do perceive the vibrations, which confuses the hell out of our brain. Ain't that neat!
I think my favourite thing about Andy and Jane getting spooked is their shared instinct to respond by yelling a semi-relevant word. “Argh, darkness!” “Argh, membrane!” Bless them.
Also, the sound of true terror is a horny mountain lion. Good to know?
Unless you've heard rabbits scream bloody murder, I could see it...
'They're not decapitated, their heads are just really bloody' Anyone else feel that Jane will one day say this exact sentence again in a court of law?
"I'm telling you I found the head's like that."
Why did I pick them up?
"Well I Couldn't find my basket ball and I needed to practice for tryouts."
What's with all the questions and why are you wearing a wig and banging a hammer?
They'll never catch her alive ! (in the sense that they won't be alive if they do catch her)
@@scorpix96 If the defendant would like to present their case.
Jane - ELDRITCH BLAST, case dismissed.
Similar to: "They're not dead, they're just sleeping"

“Why is it?! The Darkness!” Sounds like a horrifying philosophical question.

Phone calls are truly the greatest horror
I don't even like horror games but I would rather play those all day than make a phone call
The fear of public speaking is worse than making a phone call.
Anyone else think it's ironic that Andy, Oxbox's resident goth and probably a vampire, is the one most easily spooked?
He prefers to be the thing in the darkness that stalks an unsuspecting target over being hunted himself.
@@AK-tr6lo well now I'm just wondering who Andy could possibly be hunting

25:20 "We were too brilliant to realize we solved [the puzzle]" is my new favorite catchphrase.
"Player descretion is advised". Typos in the splash screen, that's always a good sign
Watermelons have long been know to be the source of the sound of fear. That's why science invented seedless watermelon. The fear was in the seeds.
I know, that's why for centuries people ran into battle clutching watermelon slices, chomped into them and spat the seeds at their enemies. Most successful invading forces used watermelon warfare.
Seeds of fear. Also Layers of Fear was a game that was really about onions.
Makes perfect sense to me...

Very deep
If I didn't already love Jane before, I definitely did after she knew what "C.H.U.D." stood for off the top of her head.
At 6:36, a transient ischemic attack is caused by a temporary blockage in an artery providing oxygen to the brain, not an infection. The scariest thing about this game is the lack of medical knowledge! 😂
Or the lack of any knowledge. That's what you get for only $20!
That bothered me way more than it should.
Doing a little bit of research turns up that not only do some heart infections increase the chances of a TIA (as per the Mayo Clinic), a separate study turned up a positive correlation between many differing types of infections and the chances of suffering an acute ischemic stroke (with the highest correlation between UTIs and AISs).

Thank you so much guys for playing a horror game! I love listening to the screams of Andy just before I go to sleep. Its so calming.
"Let's worry about that bridge when we burn it" - Jane
Jane, that is not how...on second thought, never-mind, that is exactly how it is meant to be.
The bloody hammer was bloody only on the handle? Clearly someone needs to work on their hammer as weapon technique.
Obviously it's much more frightening to be beaten by the handle of a hammer. Think of how long I would take!
Probably cleaned the head, forgetting about the handle. The splatter goes everywhere and it really tends to soak into unvarnished wood.

"Let's worry about that bridge when we burn it." That's the saying right? I can't think of a better time to worry about a bridge.
TIA's are actually mini-strokes that are usually a precursor to having a full blown stroke. Symptoms usually resolve within 24 hours of onset.
The protagonist really shouldn't be having like 4 of them a minute, jeez.

Knew it sounded familiar. I heard about it in ninth grade First Aid.

it's actually saying "магазин", which means "store" in Russian ^__^
Which raises some questions as to why there is a Russian shop at this insane asylum
Ah, should've known it was just an old Russian military experiment. It always is!
