For everyone who doesn't know, the aesthetics of this game and several easter eggs are inspired by polish artist zdzisław beksiński, who is one of my favorite artists as well. He grew up in war-time poland, his son's name was Thomas, and his wife was Zophia. His paintings are INCREDIBLE imo. The makers of this game clearly liked him quite a bit, and it's what drew me to the game in the first place.
I think the monster looks like that because it’s a mixture of all the people’s souls its eaten. It kept talking about outgrowing it’s “skins”. That’s why you see it in a nurse outfit (Ursula), walking like a ballerina (Vivienne) etc...
@@arianamichelov holy shit you're totally right, it has the wings from Lily's butterfly obsession, the nurse hat from Ursula, and I always wondered why it was tip-toeing around but now it makes sense that it was walking like a ballerina because of Tori (Vivienne). You kinda just blew my mind.
Duuuuude when Marianne is pushing Sadmess on the swing and she jumps off, Sadness actually takes off her mask!! It’s hard to tell because it looks like just the side of her face but it’s in her hand!! As soon as I seen that I knew there was something sus about her
The visuals and the other side are based on the work of a polish artist Zdzisław Beksiński. You should all Google him out, his paintings are literally out of this world.
This game is sooo good. I'm from Poland and I'm proud that we can make such great games like the witcher, dying light or now the medium. Character at the beggining of this film is a real person and he's a polish actor called Michał Dorociński, he played in many good polish films and not only. once again I feel pride that our games are so fantastic. Love your vids hollow, keep doing great work
Poland is so awesome. Went to Warsaw a few years ago to visit a friend who’d moved there & I’ve gone back every year since - I seriously ❤ your country, omg. The food, the people, the shopping, the natural beauty, the cities (I❤️ how Krakow looks almost exactly like Prague, but actually has a soul 😊), and while Western Europe is crumbling, PL is thriving. And, yes, the rad video games too. 😊
Yup.. he survived somehow and the real Thomas must be around somewhere .. perhaps in the next sequel he will be the one to save Marianne cause she perhaps is not truly dead and neither her sister. Cannot wait for a second part to come this was dope as hell!
I just figured out Troy Baker voices The Maw it makes so much sense. It sounded so familiar while also being terrifying, disturbing, and made my skin crawl. This game was an absolute blast to watch thank you so much!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PLAYING THIS AND SHARING THIS. ME AND MY GIRL WATCH THIS AND HATED WHEN SOMETHING HAD TO MAKE US PUT IT ON PAUSE. GOOD STUFF MAN. THANKS A BUNCH, VERY ENTERTAINING
Personally I don't think they just want to scare the hell out of people, but honestly kudos for keeping the atmosphere 100% all throughout the game. I fell in love with this game.
This game does an *incredible* job of showing how individual people are always complex & that people very rarely become evil or do horrible things without also having experienced negative/traumatic events in their life prior. Doesn’t excuse the things they do! But DOES show the importance of protecting children/young adults from such negative/traumatic experiences as much as possible. Not only for the sake of the children/young adults…but also for those they encounter in the future & society as a whole. Wish here in the US as much attention was given to children *AFTER* theyre born as is given to unborn children.😕
DUDE!! THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS! On part two at the end, when you were like “idk if there will be another episode.” I was like noooo I hate cliffhangers lol!
Watching the entire gameplay within one day, it was so good and I want there to be like a sequel to this game. I mean, we heard thr gunshot at the end, but what actually happened to Marianne? How did Lilianne handle the Maw? Is Thomas going in and back? There are so many questions left unanswered
The story telling, the visuals, what a game! We were all hoping for more and Hollow grinds out 3 hours for us 🙏 I was so immersed I ended up sitting on the floor closer to my TV 😂
@@poppychalupa9390 the only weak point in the graphics to me are the facial expressions. Also, we have the same console. I don’t have that problem. 🤷♂️
@@poppychalupa9390 you should’ve specified, I thought you meant random resolution drops. The drop when it split screens is understandable, question is what screen size do you have ? That’s where resolution drops can bug me. I have a 70”, so that part wasn’t bothersome.
@@MrNate05 I play on a 32” monitor I will say the game is great just idk a little disappointment with 30 fps and the little resolution drops you get here and there. This was supposed to be a “Next gen game”
I have never in my life cried over a fucking game 😀😀this is emotional damage such a good story I would definitely play this. When she finally meets Thomas other side I started balling.
Hollow was the reason why I bought the medium , now horrow games usually scares me but hollow's gameplay was what sold it to me ... the fact he was able help me solve the puzzles was even better ... I am still in the middle of completing this so I can wait to play till the end myself xx thank you Hollow #fromlondon
That demon was female with a very deep voice which can be confused as being male. You can tell by the chest and high heels it wore. It explains why it wanted to wear skins like needing new designer clothes lol
I think wearing skins was symbolic of Lilliane having been mentally torn apart and needing to put on different faces as a defense mechanism. Of course, she is a medium in the game so there is an entity that can physically harm as well as psychologically.
I mean besides the obvious female figure like you said, it kept going on about not looking at it and being naked which was referencing how Richard was drawing Lily and what he eventually worked up to doing.
I feel like Hollow is the most genuine gamers I’ve ever watched. Like others that I’ve watched in the past always have to resemble some character with crazy reactions but Hollow is just being himself. You know what I mean?
This episode (the ending) one, for me, was the best. The end, just amazing. I really like your reactions during the game. I'm so happy to watch your video. 3 hours of pleasure and suspense, thank youuuu 🤪
I dont know if you’ll see this hollow but please keep reading things out loud when your playing! When im having a hard time seeing, it helps me so much and im sure there are other viewers like me
Thats crazy ending. It was a really good and scary game. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for all of your hard work. Much love from your family and friends.
Wow! Thanks soooo much for playing this game!!! I was glued to my seat the whole way through!!! Amazing story and you really brought it to life with how you played. Thank you, cant wait for a sequel
Absolutely fantastic game! I’m a huge horror fan and games like this are far too rare. I was so invested in the story that I couldn’t put it down. Finished it in only 3 sessions which is unusual for me. It takes a special game to get me hooked like that. Brilliant! Easily the best psychological horror game since Alan Wake. Glad to see you playing this type of game Hollow. Keep em coming!👍
I’ve only just discovered you and honestly your my favourite gamer now! Gonna be binge watching the gameplay of the games I’m too scared to play! Awesome job 💖
I know! My theory is that Lilliane ended up killing herself to protect Marriane. I know she said she wasn’t strong enough but maybe when faced with protecting her sister, she had enough strength to do it. Symbolically, it’s so incredible. The trauma could never heal for her and it’s unfortunate she feels suicide is the only way out.
What a great story! I'm glad you stuck with it, I expected it to be longer and you're right they could've used those angles, they reminded me of until dawn in a way. But great story!
idk why the genre of this game literally just change in my own perpective...at first horror then thriller and lastly action...this is why i like this game
This game was legit one of my favorite gaming experiences ever. Such an amazing story and atmosphere. SO glad you decided to finish it, and that you liked it. :3 Still waiting for the sequel...
At first I was eh about the game but I followed along and daaaang it was interesting and fun I like the story line too it was a biiiit long but totally worth it ! (: hope they make a part 2
If you want to understand more about references in the game, look up Andrej Tarkovskij (filmmaker). Also look up Zdzisław Beksiński (painter). There are obvious connections. Also some references to Hannibal Lecter, Pans Labyrinth, Lovecraft. Some Sigmund Freud in regards to the subconcious, dreams and childhood trauma. Perhaps there is also some connections to Vladimir Nabokov, who wrote Lolita. Also, the pipe and child abuse brings my mind to Ghosts by Henrik Ibsen.
I looked this video in a whole week, every time i needed to study in my break I did watch a little bit. Couldn't have enough of it. Hope there is coming a sequel.
Amazing video bro!!! Can't wait to see if it gets on playstation I really love suspense games like this.i was talking with you through the whole way from part 1 lol.awesome bro
I know this is an old video but I just got to watch it, I didn't expect a horror game to get me in my feels so much! Haha. Loved this play through! Ps thanks for taking the time to explore and read all the stuff you found throughout the game, I love that you do that!
Sorry in advance!! but its so good i promise! (personally ended up really liking this)
I just uploaded a new video😊😊
Can you check it out?😄😄
You don't have to.

That was such a journey. That was insane. I loved every minute of this.

THAT'S RIGHT I LOVE THIS GAME TOO THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER
Me too
This game destroyed me in the end, it's like watching a car crash in slowmotion and you can't stop it.
Yes

tak, całkowicie się zgadzam !!

I can't believe I watched you play this entire game! It was like a Netflix series 😂
Keep up the grind Hollow. Your videos are really helping a lot of people in this pandemic. All love man
I finished it a few hours ago. Definitely their best game yet. I'm excited to see what they do next.
there's going to be a sequel and Thomas is going to be the next protagonist, mark my words.
Better, I like playing as him (spirit)
Yup.. he survived somehow and the real Thomas must be around somewhere .. perhaps in the next sequel he will be the one to save Marianne cause she perhaps is not truly dead and neither her sister. Cannot wait for a second part to come this was dope as hell!
I hope they will make it first person perspective.
It's much more creepy than the fix canera.
dude if they are making a sequel I might even buy it myself when it comes out cuz I really loved this one
This was probably one of the best exclusive xbox has had in recent years
@@mmm.3839 ain’t exclusive anymore
The visuals, graphics, and overall vibe you get while watching this feels so much like Until Dawn!
I just figured out Troy Baker voices The Maw it makes so much sense. It sounded so familiar while also being terrifying, disturbing, and made my skin crawl. This game was an absolute blast to watch thank you so much!
What a beautiful game this was. The story and atmospheric horror from start to finish was brilliant.

Hate cliffhangers? Musta loved that ending 😮
Someone buy this man a beer! Thank YOU so much for playing this game and uploading so quickly. Amazing!!!
The monster reminds me so much of Him from the power puff girls. That really eerie voice…
Just amazing! No cheap scares! Just good ole authentic horror!!! I enjoyed☺️☺️☺️
A man's child hood is important

Great Video, thanks for the gameplay. It was excellent!
Please note you are expected to pay for your shipping so as to get your tracking ID to track your package ones it get to your location okay?

Great points! Very true!
I'm so glad they touched back on butterflies here at the end. Such a neat packaged game. I loved it.
in game music as well as everything else are phenomenal. Hollow our boy got some taste ! for game choice
That endi g blew me away! I'm definitely looking forward to the sequel!
I feel like Hollow is the most genuine gamers I’ve ever watched. Like others that I’ve watched in the past always have to resemble some character with crazy reactions but Hollow is just being himself. You know what I mean?
I love the Maw's voice acting. so good
That's Troy Baker for you!
This man said in the title “the ending is so good” as the thumbnail is a girl holding a gun to her head lmfao
Now that’s the Hound.
This episode (the ending) one, for me, was the best. The end, just amazing. I really like your reactions during the game. I'm so happy to watch your video. 3 hours of pleasure and suspense, thank youuuu 🤪
I hate that kind of ending.. they just got to be with each other.. hope they are seen together in the sequel!
MARIANNE ( Nigel thornberrys voice ) I cant help but say in his voice when Hollow says her name haha
This man is on his grind like the videos👍
Thanks so much for finishing this game Hollow! And super fast too!
OMG! I was just checking to see if you posted and yay!
I dont know if you’ll see this hollow but please keep reading things out loud when your playing! When im having a hard time seeing, it helps me so much and im sure there are other viewers like me
Anyone else getting Blair Witch vibes after we meet the dog?
Thats crazy ending. It was a really good and scary game. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for all of your hard work. Much love from your family and friends.
All these ads make it impossible to watch tbh love the consistent content but DAMNNNNN
Wow! Thanks soooo much for playing this game!!! I was glued to my seat the whole way through!!! Amazing story and you really brought it to life with how you played. Thank you, cant wait for a sequel
I love that your vids are long. I prefer a few long vids over a bunch of small vids in a series
Absolutely fantastic game! I’m a huge horror fan and games like this are far too rare. I was so invested in the story that I couldn’t put it down. Finished it in only 3 sessions which is unusual for me. It takes a special game to get me hooked like that. Brilliant!
Easily the best psychological horror game since Alan Wake. Glad to see you playing this type of game Hollow. Keep em coming!👍
Omg Hollow! Thank you for all your effort in recording and posting a video at this length.
I was studying for my exam about 4-5 hour without a break. I'm really happy to see this right now. I was waiting for this.
I’ve only just discovered you and honestly your my favourite gamer now! Gonna be binge watching the gameplay of the games I’m too scared to play! Awesome job 💖
Welp looks like im gonna be in my room for awhile😂
Dam, I want to understand what the ending was for real!
I know! My theory is that Lilliane ended up killing herself to protect Marriane. I know she said she wasn’t strong enough but maybe when faced with protecting her sister, she had enough strength to do it. Symbolically, it’s so incredible.

Mine:
Marianne actually went into the Spirit World with the gun and shot the Maw.
Look at her eye color at the end.
Thanks hollow. This story got me hooked for three nights in a row. Better than most movies.
Thank you for this. the story line of this game was damn perfect
