Hendecad (Surreal "Sequel" to Cement Mixer Simulator!)

- The bizarre, yet strangely consistent imagery is enough to fuel endless speculation as to the meaning of this follow-up to Cement Mixer Simulator 2003. It's almost more of a surreal explorable artwork than a game... though there may be some scares as well.

What this developer should do is have interactions in this game unlock doors and areas in Cement Mixer Simulator if the player has both games installed. That would be next level confusion.
That’s an incredibly great idea!!!
That being said, I don’t know if it would defeat the developers purpose of his “games”
Firstly, this would have to actually be interactive.
sadly, cement mixer simulator is no longer being worked on
Someone described CMS 2003 as "A really long Tool music video" when Vinny played it. This one feels more like a late 90s Radiohead one
lmao
FYI: The things at 57:20 are(were) a real thing. They're called 'gibbets' and are, as you accurately surmised, a person sized cage into which someone would be locked and then dangled on the end of a chain. It was a method of public execution/torture used as late on as the 18th century, if memory serves (though don't quote me on that I'm no historian)
This video honestly scares the absolute hell out of me. Librarian mentioning vocals I don't hear multiple times, while ignoring the clearly directional audio that keeps getting closer and further.
Hey hey! Just a recommendation, theres this game called: #21 The World that would fit your content perfectly. Its a 3D exploration game kind of like LSD dream emulator, where you get into all sorts of weird enviroments. Its not as ambient and calm as this game is, but, i loved it myself. Amazing video as always, your voice and narration are a blessing!
does it by any chance involve brirish vampires and timestops?
odd, i tried to play it but uhm it downloaded a blender file? how did you by chance get the game runing?
boy do i love the game "#21 The World that would fit your content perfectly. Its a 3D exploration game kind of like LSD dream emulator, where you get into all sorts of weird enviroments.

Yes, that would be a great game after this one
Some thoughts, I think the diagram at 43:09 could be a map maybe of the office area, also in the coffee bean room the weird circular thing that is buried might be the ruins of the circular map of cement mixer which connects to the pictures of the beak guys from that map on the wall near by, maybe or I’m just reading into it too much
no thats totally intentional, good spotting it
that's what i was thinking too
the areas are also color coded like the plants that are present
the sort of cryptic "there's something deeper that I'm not getting" aspect is very dreamlike, that feeling where you think that your dream meant something greater but the sheer absurdity of your mind made it totally incomprehensible
I just started watching this guy and I absolutely love him. Just the way he talks and commentates is amazing! I really hope you can make this a full time job someday man!
@@zoeyrochellezhombie829 then dont watch....
@@zoeyrochellezhombie829 Literally his whole shtick is that he plays weird or scary stuff while speculating like a nerd...
If you don't like that then you can leave.
Hi Kodis, welcome to the community ^^
@@kodis12345 your in for a wild ride my friend :)
as much as I love these videos I do feel like he talks a little bit too much and it takes away from the games atmosphere of what its suppose to feel like. not even 10 seconds of silence to just sit for a sec and listen to the music and take in what were viewing. it gets annoying after a bit just having every single little thing every single pixel, every atom, every particle, every speck of dust unnecessarily described in intense detail which then leads to a possible another unnecessary detail upon another detail from a game. or a memory that might be similar in some way which then takes about 5 minutes to fully escape his vocal chords and mouth and then just stands in one spot or going in circles describing the similarities or dislikes he has
idk why but you experiencing and commentating these games scratches a certain part of my brain ur just cute bro
If what I've read is right, these games are based on the creator's dreams. If that's the case, the only interpretation I can get from this game is that he's an extremely creative person with genuinely good ideas, but he is often consumed and surrounded by working in a place he doesn't enjoy, often losing his track and inspiration from extenuation (The office level). Once he gets himself back to his comfort zone (the homes that are inside-out), he is unable to get himself inspired again and he is often suffering from a mental block, (the house filled with snow and the snow level). Once he finally gets on working on something he DOES enjoy, he feels like it's never good enough and tries pushing harder, hurting his own self-esteem in the process (The snow level when it turns dark with a red sun/moon/whatever it is). I wish I could give an interpretation to the dark level that it's inside the snow level, but I can't quite figure out what it could mean, my only theory is that it is a nightmare, probably caused because he thinks he is not good enough to do anything he does enjoy, going back to the dullness of his job, stuck in a loop where everything seems immobile because he feels nothing ever changes.
At 32:04 I thought to myself "This guy is in imminent danger" and then he IMMEDIATELY said exactly that and that is the coolest I have felt in a while.
In the last dark area with the reflective oil, there's a large pit with a floating ghost or w/e, and if you walk up one of the staircases near it, there is a hole at the top which you can fall down into a little area. And when ur in there, behind the largest creature is a walkway.
you missed a couple of things... in the walled snowy area you should investigate the crab at 17:45. Also, look where the buildings are pointing towards at 58:50! those are the only major things as far as i know.
oh, and try sprinting and jumping on to the platform at 56:15 and then investigating
@@irmatheshepherd2325 I have done it, you just have to hold sprint and jump at the very edge. then you can climb over the cliff
couldn't find the timestamp, but you can go through an empty trash bin in the office area, its the one that has a camera pointing twoards it.
The audio of this really reminds me of the original BioShock's music tracks. The original music tracks werent so much actual tracks as they were randomly generated, choosing specific tones and notes based on a variety of things in game (how close you were to enemies, if they knew you were there, if you were carrying a weapon, how much health you had). The way it tends to fluctuate when you get to a point of interest feels less like a looping chorus and more like a guy is sitting behind me playing music to try and guide me towards the teleports, getting faster and louder as I get closer and slower as I go away like some absurd game of hot and cold
I only stumbled on your channel recently.
It ironically started with your video on Cement Mixer.
Your voice just- fits this type of content so well. Right now I'm listening to another one of your videos while typing this, hearing your opinions and occasionally glancing over to see what your speaking of and forming my own.
Your right on this thing, like, there's 100% some kind of story in the background of this game. Honestly it feels like your a wanderer simply looking at the same instant of time. No motion, no life, no real impact. You can't touch anything, only see this moment your experiencing. A facility thats almost a city, with dozens of events happening all at once. A snowy waste, history long forgotten, yet the impact of those left behind. The odd apocalyptic ocean, perhaps a future of the world, or the past. It feels like that original zone you were in, where you start, is in every meaning, the present. And you are a ghost, drifting through the times of old to try and see what it came from.
17:15 I LOVE LEAN!!!💜💜💜
jokes aside these games are genuinely some of the coolest experiences I have ever seen (plus points for the low graphics look they use to make it look even stranger and more like a dream) also this game feels much more like it is intended to be more dream-like than nightmare-like (due to the creatures being less (imo) 'scary' and unsettling; the ones here are less humanoid with the faces and much more cartoonish.) at least for most of it
edit: 24:55 for anyone wondering this is from Super Mario Galaxy 2, in Shiverburn Galaxy. The shadows are commonly referred to as 'Hell valley sky trees" if I remember correctly, something to do with file names. (just in case you didnt know)
Those aren't from super mario galaxy 2
Nvm you right
LEAAAAAANNNNNN 💜💜💜
I LOVE LEEEAAAANN!!! 💜💜💜☂️☂️🌂😈👾👿🦄💟💟🛐🚺🟪🟪🟣☔️💜💜
I love these kind of games where you go around and explore reminds me of my dreams where i go around and explore.
38:20 That totally looks like the apartment complex from the previous game but broken down a LOT
I really like the simplistic soundtrack in the background. I always liked the way music and sound can add to the feeling of despair and other emotions when playing games or watching something
PLEASE do more videos about games like this. This video got me to download the game and literally explore every nook and cranny.
I also watched this video while eating fruit loops and now every time I eat cereal I am reminded of this video. (I had about 3 bowls and I replayed the video twice)
25:14 You're thinking of Shiverburn Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They're called the Hell Valley sky trees
Spooky trees go aweewoowowo
The start reminds me of wonko the sane's house in a hitchhiker's guide. Since he thought he was the only sane person on the planet he built his house inside out to 'contain' the entire human race. He even had an entire 'indoors' on the outside of his house.
Also at 40:22 The text art is of a crest you might find on a shield, enhancing the idea of make believe.
At 43:07 the diagram could be some sort of floor plan? The guy seems to be colour coding it and you can see stacks of lines that could signify stairs.
Here's a scary idea:
Have a game similar to this one in which all of the characters are motionless and then a ways into the game, after the player has become used to the characters being still- have a character jump or move.
They will have a heart attack!
So a jump scare with more contrast?
Thats an idea. However I find there are plenty of games that do exactly that.
“Local man slowly goes insane because of planks”
I like the way you speak librarian, it’s honestly really creative for a channel to not always try and be overly scared but instead try and describes what’s going on to the fullest including the horror aspects, and I love how you aren’t scared to voice an opinion wether or not it be negative or positive. I respect you a lot for a youtuber and really like the way you structure your channel :)
Love your commentary dude it really reminds me of being younger and exploring new games pointing out everything just fawning over details and connections keep up the chatter it makes the game feel less lonely when watching kinda like on a tour of a long forgotten museum but in some points the chatter can be a bit much but overall I womt dash excitement especially with a game like this it really is tempting to connect dots at everything lmao
52:12 Notice how the door to this room changes location when you enter or exit.
Room of “beans” in 38:00 looks like the layout of the cement mixer apartments.
The strange multicolored diagram that one of the creatures is looking in 43:00 appears to be the layout of the office maze.
That starting area reminds me of a demonstration of spherical geometry in a game that a RUclipsr called CodeParade made, it showed that when standing outside on the opposite side of the world to a building, the outside of the building would seemingly contain you, even though you weren’t inside the building, it’s worth a watch, along with their explorations of hyperbolic space in the game they made Hyperbolica
I always find your commentary and interpretation of things to be really interesting - one of the whole reasons I subbed after randomly stumbling across your exploration of haunted GMod maps. That combined with the fact that you have a really interesting voice. Props to you for being such an interesting character, it's hard to find these days. Keep up the good work!
These games and the liminal space maps are extremely interesting. I really cannot get enough of them.
I have a suggestion for a game you might really like. It's called Scanner Somber. It's about an hour long and has a super interesting gameplay gimmick. I believe there's even a VR version I would give you more information about but I don't want to spoil the experience at all.
I 2nd this! It is an AWESOME game he would definitely enjoy!
I watched Jacksepticeye play it!
Been binge watching ur content recently cuz shit be goin down in life, and I just wanted to say thank you for making good quality content :)
24:55 the SECOND i saw those things in the sky when you got to that area, my mind went straight to those "hell valley sky trees" from mario galaxy, glad to see i'm not the only one thinking it :)
52:12 The door shifts when you walk into the room. Neat.
When I saw those two figures on the mountainside, I instantly thought of the hell valley sky trees too
Another really rad game and rad video! To me, it makes sense that we never really come to any conclusions about meaning or symbolism, because that is often how dreams feel. Dreams always seem to hint to some grander meaning, but for me that meaning is always JUST out of grasp.
Around 43:10 in the room behind the stairs, it almost definitely looks like a map of the area, with the orange being where you are
Please do more of this. I love this so much. This is amazing.
56:47 Postal 2 has a system where the game will teleport you if you get stuck, which I love. Even more so to exploit it because you can make use of it to get to places the devs didn't intend you to go to and backtrack through areas that you normally can't.
38:00 It looks like the layout of the weird liminal hotel from cement mixer
Not as much of a horror game, but I think you’d really like The Beginner’s Guide as it delves into the ideas of over analyzing games which is right up your alley
interactable painting is the perfect way to describe this type of game
The said *priest, of the religious suicide,* is hiding a knife 🗡 behind his back... 40:06
'Makes it even more ominous!
Just watched your cement mixer 2003 video, so its a nice coincidence you upload this in tandem. Such a strange game...
This game has now become one of my favorite games of all time thanks to this video.
Your videos are so great man, keep up the good work
This developer has somehow found the perfect way to drive Librarian insane
The librarian's commentary will never seize to amaze me.
i dont know if you noticed this but in 52:10 you exit a diferent door from wicht you entered, also i think you can try out the game NaissanceE its free to play and on steam i havent played it yet but i have seen some info about it and it seems interesting (sorry for my bad inglish)
The first thing I thought when you were visiting those offices full of creatures dressed in red was, "Santa's little helpers". I don't know, this section of the 'game' felt weirdly Christmas-esque to me.
It's a very interesting and inspiring game from my point of view, everything seems to be random but perfectly accurately placed.
i went through this game with noclip and a level warp hack, and i don't think you missed much besides an easter egg or 2 in the weird snow volcano level
I think that if the creator intended for this piece to have a message, it's that reality on its own doesn't make sense or have meaning, but we, as sentient beings with thought, give it our own meaning by nature. Our curiosity and desire for purpose gives the world its rules and logic when really it has none.
The coffee ground ruins looks like the apartments from the cement mixer
the game those shadowy figures are from is super mario galaxy 2 i believe, assuming you didn't figure that out when you went to get that screenshot in the video
in the game's files they're referred to as "Hell Valley Sky Trees" or something along those lines
oh and that disturbed feeling you got from looking at the semi-submerged lego dragon could be evidence of submechanophobia, which describes the fear of submerged or semi-submerged manmade objects
i have severe submechanophobia, personally, sunken ships and airplanes freak me out to the nth degree. the chains that hold buoys in place too, especially
a good test to see if you have it is by taking a look at the "queen mary propeller room", which houses the propeller of the Queen Mary ship, submerged in water
took a lot of courage for me to look that up right now because i forgot what it was called lol
20:02 LEAN OCEAN???!!!
All jokes aside, i love this video!
Hahahahahahaha
@@piefrolic6786 no
#21 the world would be up your alley if you like this. very similar and some really cool dream stuff too
I liked this a lot. Huge Lovely Sweet Dream vibes.
Imagine sitting at your desk working and some guy walking behind you nonchalantly notes "more office drones".
im sure everybody`s already been recommending you to play cosmo d`s games but maannn, those would be right at your alley
im so glad someone feels the same way about the lego dragon
29:25 this alphabet actually reminds me of aurebesh from Star Wars, however it doesn't seem to be the one.
Also, it's not religious ceremony, it's just a normal corporate party.
Hendecad has uncovered the origin of the Grimace shake. It's been right in front of us all this time. 17:19
"Now there's an image idea: Church Train."
*Has flashbacks to Alice: Madness Returns*
Hey man took a nice long break from your channel a few months ago and Im super excited to binge your channel again! Much love! Jesus is king!!!!
The librarian makes videos faster then me getting B’s on my test
24:56 super mario galaxy 2 I believe, could be the first one
The rainbow drawing under the stairs is a map of the workplace area !!
3:45 So the name of the game is roughly 11, there are (or seem to be) 9 houses, and the starting house is numbered 10. Almost as if the game wants you to dig, to trade your sanity for a taste of understanding of the author's meaning.
9:15 Scrat bear
18:45 Junji Ito vibes...
20:05 that "tree" managed a jumpscare for at least one person.
24:50 to see that the mollusk wasn't preying on the lizard, they're a single dragon-esque being.
25:15 Funny, when I first saw those watchers that's exactly what I thought of: "Hell Valley Sky Trees."
32:42 insert _1984_ reference
36:16 Prohibition tunnels
37:32 I'm sensing a snake motif
39:55 snake cult incorporated
46:58 *IT* *HAS* *TEETH!*
47:32 Is.... is that... a......... _baby_ _stroller?_
51:00 Traditionally, turnips were used for jack o' lanterns... which that thing seems to be neither of. Wait... did it _hatch_ _from_ the egg?
51:30 I can't tell if those are mosquitos or spiders, I'm leaning more towards the former, which makes the hexagon hub even more disturbing.
52:22 Did anyone else notice how the room was a different place than it should be? How it shifts when you enter/exit?
59:00 The liquid almost looks like an oil or soap with its reflective properties.
Well, that was a disturbing, and at times horrifying, experience. Snek Inc., that basalt world, and hexagon world were probably the most disconcerting, and also seemed to have the biggest horror.
I fucking love these types of games, I can’t even remember how many times I’ve watched this video.
RUclips recommended sent me here, and I’m glad it did.
38:15
It looks like the ruins of the apartment from the last game. Remember that model?
43:06
It’s a map of the office!
52:15 the door legit changed places
My initial thoughts of cement mixer 2003 have been further solidified by Handecad
I'm only at the first part, with the little yellow dudes at their work;
like I said in cm2003, this is more than probably a portrayal of mental health problems, alongside the issues society has.
Might write a more detailed explanation, but basically
Person with mental health issues, be it the author of the game, or a character we're looking through the eyes of, who clearly suffers with some sort of derealization, and overall struggles a lot with their living situation, in cement mixer 2003, it highlighted the people, and how they feel watched
But in handecad, it feels like it's highlighting the overall world, how they're stuck in a loop, forced to work in a world of 'nobodies', probably more to it
You should definitely try the game "Inside", I'd love to see your take on it!
"How else would these images come to you?" Drugs.
Did you miss the knife the priest was holding behind his back during the religious suicide scene at 40:46?
51:11 how did no one notice that the doors flipped between positions?? Very VERY cool detail
What a crazy coincidence, when you saw that weird spider thing in the water I was like that reminds me of the Lego dragon at Disney, and then you said exactly what I was thinking. That Lego dragon really creeped me out as a kid. 🤣
Now imagine how insane it would be if it were live action, especially the office area lol
The screeshot in question are HellValley Sky Trees. In the Shiverburn Galaxy level, they can be found peering at you from the top of the skybox, which in itself is a large valley. Not much is known about them, other than being just some odd shadowy curious creatures
I think this game was an Art project. (Different Kind of Art) but I heard about it in another Video because it is such a special ''game''
i saw the lego dragon! i had the same creepy vibes, especially because during the day you could see the manky bits where the water touched it at the bottom of the hoops.
The movie Return to Oz was weird AF - I haven't thought about that in years!
43:09 He is making a map of the workplace!
why do you fear level transitions os much? you can just go there from the start again :D
Besides Myst I have a great game suggestion for you. Hear me out, it's an old edutainment game called Adiboo. They were sold with two discs, one being a new themed world of mini games and the other being the same hubworld across all sets. Almost everything is unassuming until you get to the paintings and scene creator. They are so out of place, creepy, and feel like we're only getting a partial picture. I'd love to see you play it. Think the hub world disc was called magical playland
I like your commentary
like it's nice to see you curiously making sense of the environments while appreciating their surreal nature
all my dreams are nonsensical , they are mostly abstract so when I wake up attempting to quantify the dream in a concreat world seams to destroy any sense it seamed to have before .
39:20 seems to actually be some kind of eating contest, instead of a religious event.
I had major anxiety while watching this. It was way scarier than any horror game for reasons I cannot explain.
PLEASE MORE OF THESE!!!!!!
The more in peripheral vision fog is caused by using a square fog shader rather than a round one
The Mario thing is from Super Mario Galaxy 1 or 2 I cant remember which, but the file name for them are "hell valley sky trees." That name is already strange for a Mario game to begin with and its like they watch you the whole time all throughout the level and that's the only level they appear in, super creepy.
these games are kinda relaxing and peachfull
Just looking at the odd pictures of the goats and things perhaps they are maps of different areas in the games? Even the unused ones.
The background music in the office space really reinforces the "religious" undertones.
i know the title is just there to mess with you, but what's the "eleven" element about this?
also those elephants are definitely there just because it rhymes with eleven.
I like to imagine the ground paste is oatmeal but pink
