The easiest way to help piece together the ending is to think of it like this: There are 3 demon sects (Teshet: House of Immolation, House of Invidious, and House of Desolation) and you can imagine them as all being "lesser-demons". All of these lesser-demons are trying to find a LIVING human host, so it could use it's full power. Audrey (Raymond's mother) is a demon of the 4th sect (Feniskakram). (During your last video, on one of the papers in the secret room with the lore, That 4th Sect is depicted above the 3 other demon sects. Indicating that it's a hierarchy, and that the 4th sect is basically royalty when it comes to demons. They are basically along the lines of the princes of hell, or you can simply call them "greater-demons" and Audrey is possessed by one of those demons. Raymond uses the skin from the Greater-demon/prince as a form of protection from the more common lesser-demon houses. He tattoos it onto his chest, and during that cutscene, you see the demon shriek in fear because it put it's hands on something considered "royal". (No - This doesn't make Raymond a demon, or royalty to demons, he simply has the tattoos comprised of a royal demon as a glyph of protection incase a situation such as this ending, ended up happening.) Also - Possessions in that world seem to be pretty common. Those demons aren't there trying to rescue that royal demon, they're selfish, and want to get their hands on their own living hosts. Plus Raymond admits in the tape that he was starting to get possessed himself, and we also know that demons seek weak-willed people to try to take over, and Rebecca fit that description well due to blaming herself over her father's death. (At least up until the point where she was able to talk to him after giving the necklace).
I would disagree on the part that his mother "is a demon of the 4th sect" or whatever. As I said in the previous video, the sigil Raymond tattooed in his chest with flesh and blood has the sigils of Leviathan and Lucifer, although slightly altered by the devs, but clearly taken from those. That's how Raymond would still be protected by lesser demons - because he carries the symbol of Leviathan and Lucifer, two Lords of Hell. No human being, nor any being capable of maintaining a corporal form, could carry as much energy as an entity of that size. That's why only lesser demons possess people. If I needed to take a hint, I'd probably bet at a demonic pact or something like that - not that those things actually exist in the occultist world, but that's not like the devs are going that deep anyways. But I don't think it will be a pact, anyways. Unfortunately I can't understand very well the intentions of the devs for the plot because I try to understand with real occultist knowledge, and the ends don't meet, like: why a demon would be so freaking angry and vengeful? The only answer is: because of a betrayal... Did Raymond make a deal with a demon and then betrayed him? Eh, who knows...
Well sounds about right or even close BUT; I think Audrey being one of the "Greater-Demon" is hinting us that audrey's demon was trying to posses Raymond but he got it on control and trapped her thus allowing him to use the greater demons flesh as a warding tatoo to protect himself due to lesser demons are not allowed to hunt the ones who got marked by greater demons targets due to class hierarchy. Since then he is slowly chipping down Audry's demons body and in the cutscene she told him about it "it wont last forever.." "after all you are down here begging for more scraps.." and the fact that she kinda got decomposed and semi cut means its not the first time raymond had to refill his tattoo which is implyed in the cutscene that they dissapear once a lesser demon is banished by the sigil due to tattoo's power. The fact that the lesser demon was scared was the reason that he was marked by Audry's greater demon and hierarchy think.. So in the end raymond got no Blood supply or even if he somehow gets a lesser demon , due to accidents he will run out of body parts to tattoo while trying to protect himself or rebecca or others.
@@KindRaiDeR Yup, exactly. She even says "Another already!?" "Poor baby... You're burning up".... Then goes into the "Backup after backup"... "You're such a prepared little boy..." And also the: "Awful lot of missteps lately Raymond", which all points to him relying on her flesh more, and more it seems. She's been possessed this entire time. I think for more than 30+ years, so the fact that she says "Awful lot of missteps lately Raymond", seems to imply that out of this entire time, and all the assistants he's lost, he's been making more mistakes/questionable decisions as of recent. Definitely excited to see where the story goes if Insym was correct in saying that the new game they're working on is related story-wise to this game, and get some more answers/lore to see what else has happened, and why Raymond has such hatred for his mother. It either seems he had a bad childhood growing up with her, or that the possession is the reason he hates her, which if it's the latter, that kind of seems pretty crappy. Because any time the demon mentions Audrey, and that she's "still here / still in here", and that they're going to make her suffer endlessly as long as they're chained up, he always has a remark such as "good". There seems to be some real hatred for his mother.
@@Baallerith All good to disagree/have different view points on things, although from what I read, I feel as though I may have still made it over-convoluted? But I didn't mean his mother is literally a demon - and a royal demon at that, just that the Greater-demon/Prince/Lord that possessed her is part of the sect that is above the other three sects: (Immolation, Invidious, and Desolation) and in a sense, is considered royalty to those lesser-demons. Even when the priests tried doing that "exorcism" on Audrey during the tape recording in the secret room, the demon possessing Audrey burned the same symbol into the back of the bible, (Which was Feniskakram or Feriskakram - Couldn't tell if that 3rd letter was an "n", or an "r".) Plus that same symbol was displayed behind where Audrey is chained up, and all the dialogue between Raymond, and the demon possessing Audrey indicated several times that her flesh or "scraps" were the thing protecting him, and she made it sound like he's been using them more, and more frequently. Seems he's been having a lot more close calls lately. I believe the devs are just sprucing up their own version of it. I don't believe it's going to really be similar with real occultists knowledge, and all. You mentioned that only lesser-demons possess people, but as shown by Audrey it seems to be possible with higher-class demons from the sect of Feniskakram. (Unless I am missing a piece of lore from earlier in the story that is completely eluding me right now.) I believe the Devs are just taking a more Hollywood approach to the story, and how the demons act/behave. Which is why Vallery, and Audrey's wild Demonic mood switches, evil laughter, and vulgar language seems to take heavy inspiration from the movie: "The Exorcist". Which in my opinion definitely helps bring out the atmosphere of the game, and helps give that sense of urgency, and focus which is perfect for all the jumpscares, and horror events they have in place. Which is why I don't think they're trying to be realistically similar to actual occultist's beliefs/knowledge. The pact thing could be interesting though, as it seems pretty clear via the dialogue between Raymond/Demon possessing Audrey that Raymond seems to have a hatred for his mother. Such as when the demon says that "she's still here", and that the demon is going to make her suffer an eternity however long they end up being locked up for, and Raymond always says something along the lines of "good", and during the attempted priests exorcism on Audrey, there's a part where Raymond says: "You've taken enough from me! Burn in hell!", and the demon replies with "She already is!", and again Raymond's response is "Good!". So maybe there was some type of pact where he essentially tried to get rid of her, or put some type of curse on her, and it ended up going awry. Either way, it's interesting lore, and I hope they add on to it more.
@@Baallerithif I remember correctly, the symbol of the 4th sect is carved above the mother in the secret basement. That’s why I think it’s safe to assume the mother is possessed by a demon from the 4th sect which is higher in hierarchy (from Raymond’s notes and drawings). I don’t know how true to demonology this is, but this is just conclusions from the game lore. Also, the fact that he uses the mom skin to carve the tattoo in his chest and that’s what scares the lesser demons is another hint that the mom is in fact possessed by a higher demon.
Maxed out haunting slider reminds me of that episode in Sponge Bob where the Dutchman is staying at SBs house trying to scare him every minute. At first the hauntings are scary, but he did them so much that Sponge Bob gets bored and tells the Dutchman to hurry up cuz he's got stuff to do.
Agreed, these are definitely jumpscares done right. None of the jumpscares are accompanied with loud sfx or music, and none of them are in-your-face kind of jumpscare, because you could miss them if you don't pay enough attention and if you do, it'll definitely get you because you didn't expect any of them. Most jumpscare happen to relieve the tension, but I think in this one, it adds to the tension.
It's a pretty good subversion of the usual "thing jumps out in front of player" trope by having the player inadvertently jump out in front of the thing instead lol
I wish he would do an update where after getting the survival ending multiple times in a row (like 20 or 30) that Rebecca becomes so used to the demon's tricks that she becomes bored with what it does & just acts annoyed instead of scared.
Would actually be helarious to see rebecca go from scared to just sarcastic and snippy maybe copy a few phrases from insym like "Oh hi there! :D" and "Not today grandma -.-"
@@Triscraft Hey, it's practically canon now that raymond goes all "y'all so predictable" on the demon. Would love to watch Rebecca get kind of fed up and bored with their bullshit too.
My prediction. We might be able to play as Raymond. He has 4 markings. When the demon was banished, one marking was burned off. Him tattooing a new marking is filling in the one that was removed. This might be akin to him having either 4 lives, or 4 charges to ward off demons.
It's probably not four charges, only the marking of the correct lesser demon house burns I imagine (the fourth and most important one being permanent). Leaving a blank spot while said demon attacks again could leave Raymond vulnerable, which also why he probably has to immediately take a "scrap" or piece of skin off Audrey's vessel, the tattoo being only really effective if complete. It's like having an armored front door with a lock that not even the LPL could lockpick, but one of the windows on the side of the house was left wide open by mistake, any burglar would use that one. Or rather a demon would use that opening to possess a being.
It’s definitely an experience at 10x. I do think in a way the original is a spookier because you don’t know when it’ll spook you so you’re anxious the whole time. But 10x is great for a player like you that played a lot and got all the endings for a new experience.
The father slipped climbing from a rocky area by the beach. Likely Rebecca and her friends went to a spot that had high rocks creating a private spot to do their dr*gs out of visibility of other beach goers or police. Sadly when the dad found Rebecca, it's possible that she was drowning because the tide was coming in (often those places become submerged at night) and he rescued her, hence her coughing in that scene. He likely called emergency services who likely also sent cops since it would have been a drug related incident. But him being wet from saving Rebecca likely caused him to lose his grip on equally wet rocks climbing out to flag the cops down and...he fell to his death.
No. She went missing (because of a drug OD), her father found her, tried to get the attention of some search party members, but slipped, hit his head, and died.
Although this is the last update for the main game, the dev said in the steam discussions that they plan on doing DLC in the future for the rest of the story. For now, they'd like to focus on other games. I kinda wish this update was more conclusive though. Because now we're left with this cliffhanger for a loooong time.
Raymond basically marked himself with the royal demon mark on the chest, using flesh of the body the true demon currently possesses. He‘s therefore basically off limits and cannot be possessed by the lesser demon houses anymore. As far as I know, the lesser demons simply enjoy torturing humans and only spawn in the mortuary where Raymond works because it is A) easy for them to posses dead bodies and B) close to the true demon, making the tether between the realms thinner or something. : )
@@AvocadoPsoriasis could you imagine that event happening, and the only consequence is that you need to go and get another moisture wipe to continue? the demon just eats a moisture wipe every couple playthroughs
This is getting buried but i think it's based off possession. The lore video Insym watches, Raymond states when he gets possessed he gains consciousness back in random areas and doesn't know how long time passes. So I'm guessing the more possession events you interact with causes possession to increase rapidly vs normal gameplay time.
It's not the first time, when I felt asleep while watching Insym😅 Not because he is boring, he is a comfort youtuber/streamer for me, and I just love to chill, while he plays.
my theory: The markings on Raymond's chest are defensive markings that banish the demons back to hell once they make contact. in the new ending, the demon makes contact with Raymond's chest and banishes it back to hell, consuming one of the defensive marks. Which is why, Raymond is seen tattooing another mark on himself to replace the mark used. Audrey is currently being possessed by a demon that is too powerful for Raymond to banish back so he is researching the demons and asking for help from assistants to get data on the sub-demons that are searching for their demon leader(Audrey). All of the marking around Audrey are there to keep the demon stuck inside Audrey so it can not posses anyone else. Oh and he needs to use the flesh of the giga-demon as the ink in his tattoos in order for them to be powerful enough to banish weaker demons.
Not only am I confused as to how this mortuary stays in business even though a body keeps getting cremated without permission everyday, but even then, how much money could they possibly be making if they have to repair their cremation chamber every day?
It seems that Raymond placing that mark on his body means that he's basically marking himself as "property" of what is essentially the "Royal house" of demons and the lesser demons are forbidden from preying on any claim from the "Royal house".
My oldest daughter and I were watching your playthrough of the new ending on July 4th of all days!!! Booms and explosions while I was holding her so she didn’t headbutt me in reaction. We are excited to watch this together.
The other demons mention getting their "prize". Makes me think its a competition of sorts. Whichever of them frees the super demon, their superior, is going to get rewarded. Maybe that's why Valerie's demon gets you to banish the other one before freeing her, as she won't be able to win vs Rebecca if she is already possessed. Plus, its probably no coincidence the demons keep attacking: perhaps injecting bodies with demons blood helps them come to this world, which Raymond uses to get rid of them, or whatever else he is doing.
Omg! I just recently watched your at dead of night playlist for like the 5th or 6th time now. I love watching you play that game and I think it would be awesome to see you replay it. I look forward to watching it soon!
Broooo I just realized you are so underrated bro i stumbled across your RUclips on a recommendation videos for me and I didn’t know he ain’t even got 1 million subscribers yet which is just crazy to me cause I enjoy watching ur videos all the time now
I’m so glad you’ve played this so much, love the content and hope to see more! I cannot believe how many scares you still haven’t gotten that I’ve gotten or seen other people get and how many scares you’ve gotten that I haven’t or seen other people get! If you do play again, if you listen to the tapes it can help you gain sanity!
1:12:02 It is mentioned that Raymond was a bit possessed too, so maybe he was able to use those powers in that ending with his own consciousness? And the demons think that it will be ez to free the ultra demon but Raymond with his control uses that demon's power to deal with? Just wanted to point that out XD
I think people in the chat are right, the time running out and possession increasing is a factor of how many haunts you experience. Since you turned the slider up, you'll experience more haunts, and naturally the time will run out. The unfortunate thing about that is that it means there's probably a somewhat set number of haunts you can experience in any given run, but I'm guessing it's sort of a randomized number within a relatively tight range. And it's probably based on which stage of possession you're at, which selection of haunts it will pick from, which is probably why the more intense ones tend to happen later in the game. It does seem like there might be a timer at the very end though - I don't think it's necessarily going the whole time, but the music definitely seems to kick up at the end and stuff, though from watching several of your runs, the timing seems inconsistent. Sometimes it seems like it'll take forever (like the first time you tried to get the ran out of time ending), and sometimes it'll happen way too quickly. It's unpredictable.
My opinion; Raymond is possessed by a greater demon, but keeps it under control with the tattooed symbol (which also is above Audrey's body to keep the demon from destroying it like the one the that Rebecca let out). He has to use the blood/skin of a demon and Audrey is the back up incase his blood supply runs out, hence the comment it makes about a lot of mistakes lately. The demon that attacked Raymond damaged one of the tattoos when he tore his shirt, letting the demon come out out enough to flame/banish the lesser demon, but he has to redo it before he loses control (as if he could hear the end music playing), which is why he doesn't have time or want to explain it to Rebecca. On the VHS he states that he used to love her, but does not as his own possession begins to grow, which would also explain the end when he says good to his mother being tortured for eternity.
Also jumping on the bandwagon, but I recently found you and you’re so entertaining! Also cured my adhd when working since it’s easy to follow, and good background noise for me to focus on work, and longer videos. Thank s!!
One of the haunts Insym has yet to see, is the white lady appearing in the bathroom mirror, and then crawling out, Ring-girl style. It's one of the best new haunts imo. Being stuck in such a tiny room, and a nasty ghost crawling out towards you, nowhere to run.... it's awesome.
I could maybe play this game with a minimum slider; Insym unleashes hell for his community. This is why Insym is the best content creator for horror hands down! If you feel the same let him know!!
41:20 I know the story behind RUclips banning that scene. Last year, everyone was playing it, Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, and some other people; and one of them was a guy of color. From all the people, he was the only guy of color who got demonetized and age restricted. He asked RUclips on Twitter, made a huge stink on RUclips, and a week later, the decision was made to ban it on every channel.
The logical decision would be to ALLOW it on every channel, but RUclips believes that it should control what people can and cannot talk about, so... Yeah, it's their website. But we're also free to call them spineless pussies for trying to avoid the topic of suicide.
**apologies in advance - I am always nervous with 's in an english as it is not my native language** Theory follows -> How about this.... You see a mark of a Über Demon up above Audrey, and as you can see three marks going down from the same mark on Raymond's chest... what if these marks represent his relatives or distant relatives. Then the last and fourth symbol would be beneath these three, as a strongest of them, only these three combined can bring the Raymond down? Mark 1 - Audrey - sister Mark 2 - David - brother Mark 3 - Rebecca - 2nd sister's granddaughter I do not recall the exact story, but what if they are all relatives (or distant relatives), Rebecca's grandma could be also a Raymond's sister... after she started a family and somehow missed all the demonic boogaloo by the Raymond, or ran away ASAP - imagine she was none the wiser, but now she has some demonic taint - since we see a hallucination of her via Rebecca. What if granny encouraging Rebecca to take the job was already a demon playing a "young and naive Becky" - as she is "always being played, always someone's servant". Rebecca already being on thin ice, dealing with the deaths of her mom and papa (which the demon(s) killed - via drugs, bad company, what have you) to undermine Raymond's hold over them. Could it be, that Raymond felt, that Rebecca had the needed strength/will, to finally banish the demons hunting him and his family? She was - after all - clever enough to find closure for her father, and all the other souls calling for help. And since Raymond dismissed her demands of explanation it would make sense to me... I dunno... it's kinda making sense to me...
So has anyone tried yet to pick up the shovel to see if you can dig up the body in the back shown on the VHS tape? Is that a thing at all or any other clues back there? And is there any way to get into the secret room that you see in the new ending on your own?
I appreciate you playing this comprehensively like this, I saw a few clips when the game got popular and have been dying to learn about the endings without being brave enough to play myself 😅
Has anyone confirmed whether or not lowering the Demon activity lowers the chance for signs of demonic tenancy to show in any of the bodies? I played a couple times with the slider nearly set to 0, and no matter how much time has passed, no demonic marks would show up on any of the bodies, and I couldn't see any movement that'd show the signs of possession.
i think the dev is working on both, this game and a second one, and the updates on the first game move towards the second one, including all of the first game content(because he can just swap the code over) and then adds new stuff to the second game...atleast thats what i think tho
The way he walks right next to the entrance hallway and looks into it while standing right there freaks me out every time LOL I always walk to the other side of the gurney if I look down that hallway!!!
You can identify the body which is possessed early. When the door starts banging, go and look at which one it is. If it's all doors then leave, if it's single then that is the possessed body. This works every single time. Try it.
Broh, this game is CRAZY, and the best thing is that you always get scared even if you play a hundred times, and all the events are random and different so is always fun to play GJ devs!!! 😎😎
I'm pretty sure the last ending is after Rebecca has been there for a while. Or not, only think so bc of the words Rebecca uses when she tells him off.
There's actually a better event than the body that walks up behind the computer.... There's one where the demon is looking at you over the top of the computer and is much harder to notice. It's just like all of a sudden you notice a face looking at you from over the screen. I only had it one time when I was looking at the computer for hella long then all of a sudden, I noticed it.
I really love this game because it deals with fighting actual demons and your inner demons which can sometimes be even worse, I'm an ex addict in recovery 5 years clean and the way Rebecca has worked hard to rebuild her life including starting a new career yet she still deals with massive guilt and trauma everyday it's so realistic and true & I appreciate that the devs wrote such an honest and lifelike character 🖤
This! I'm on day 7 of getting sober off Fentanyl. I swear Fentanyl/addiction I'd such a demon. And it's such a battle everyday. This game hit home.. that's for sure.
The Fake Ending is the one you get when you burn a body without doing any of the embalming steps. It's much shorter than the running out of time ending. You still get locked up in the basement, but with Raymond not saying a word, just glaring at you with disappointment.
This is how i understand the questions you ask the first one i also have why cant the demon leave Audrey and attach to someone else the second one i think the demons are scared of the ultra demon, raymond has its mark on his chest, also he has the skin of the ultra demon on the tattoo so that would explain the reason why the demon got scared of the mark. This might bw wrong but this is my opinion of understanding the ending.
I was playing this just a few days ago and the possessed body literally BLINKED. That was it. It was horrifying. I’m not sure if that’s new, but I sure never seen it/ noticed it before.
It seems the demons are drawn to Raymond because the "ultra" demon said that he couldn't hold them off forever eventually there won't be any more and he'll be dragged to hell and the demon that we see attack him only get scarred after it's hurt by his tattoo when it scratch at his chest it only damages the clothes not his skin and there are embers(red glowing pieces) coming off from the attack so the tattoo is for defense and attack seeing as he kills the attacking demon and how he reacts when the "ultra" says the longer he keep it the more his mother will suffer make me wonder if the reason the demons are drawn to him is because of something she did possibly even what caused her to be possessed in the first place

Which is why Vallery, and Audrey's wild Demonic mood switches, evil laughter, and vulgar language seems to take heavy inspiration from the movie: "The Exorcist". Which in my opinion definitely helps bring out the atmosphere of the game, and helps give that sense of urgency, and focus which is perfect for all the jumpscares, and horror events they have in place. Which is why I don't think they're trying to be realistically similar to actual occultist's beliefs/knowledge.
The pact thing could be interesting though, as it seems pretty clear via the dialogue between Raymond/Demon possessing Audrey that Raymond seems to have a hatred for his mother. Such as when the demon says that "she's still here", and that the demon is going to make her suffer an eternity however long they end up being locked up for, and Raymond always says something along the lines of "good", and during the attempted priests exorcism on Audrey, there's a part where Raymond says: "You've taken enough from me! Burn in hell!", and the demon replies with "She already is!", and again Raymond's response is "Good!". So maybe there was some type of pact where he essentially tried to get rid of her, or put some type of curse on her, and it ended up going awry. Either way, it's interesting lore, and I hope they add on to it more.
@@Baallerithif I remember correctly, the symbol of the 4th sect is carved above the mother in the secret basement. That’s why I think it’s safe to assume the mother is possessed by a demon from the 4th sect which is higher in hierarchy (from Raymond’s notes and drawings). I don’t know how true to demonology this is, but this is just conclusions from the game lore. Also, the fact that he uses the mom skin to carve the tattoo in his chest and that’s what scares the lesser demons is another hint that the mom is in fact possessed by a higher demon.
Maxed out haunting slider reminds me of that episode in Sponge Bob where the Dutchman is staying at SBs house trying to scare him every minute. At first the hauntings are scary, but he did them so much that Sponge Bob gets bored and tells the Dutchman to hurry up cuz he's got stuff to do.
Haha exactly. Insym gets so used to them, they have no effect anymore 😂
😂😂😂
Insym always coming in clutch with the content
For real though
I read always coming in Dutch with the content lol
I also read coming in dutch
12:00 That was a really good one! Super simple and subtle but with a great result. Mortuary Assistant does these subtle jumpscares really well!
Agreed, these are definitely jumpscares done right. None of the jumpscares are accompanied with loud sfx or music, and none of them are in-your-face kind of jumpscare, because you could miss them if you don't pay enough attention and if you do, it'll definitely get you because you didn't expect any of them.
Most jumpscare happen to relieve the tension, but I think in this one, it adds to the tension.
It's a pretty good subversion of the usual "thing jumps out in front of player" trope by having the player inadvertently jump out in front of the thing instead lol
Insym is literally the only person I watch play this game. No one does it like Insym
Fr
That seems to be the theme for many horror games. He is the best around; Insym will never let us down!

@@johnooley6454 nah coryxkenshin is up there aswell
@@indian_crocodile Agreed
I wish he would do an update where after getting the survival ending multiple times in a row (like 20 or 30) that Rebecca becomes so used to the demon's tricks that she becomes bored with what it does & just acts annoyed instead of scared.
Demon: Is manipulating the corpse in the most grotesque way imaginable.
Rebecca: Are you done?😑
Would actually be helarious to see rebecca go from scared to just sarcastic and snippy maybe copy a few phrases from insym like "Oh hi there! :D" and "Not today grandma -.-"
@@Triscraft Hey, it's practically canon now that raymond goes all "y'all so predictable" on the demon. Would love to watch Rebecca get kind of fed up and bored with their bullshit too.
Creep peeking out from under a drawer suddenly slithers back under: ...
Rebecca: Yeah, run away coward
My prediction.
We might be able to play as Raymond.
He has 4 markings. When the demon was banished, one marking was burned off.
Him tattooing a new marking is filling in the one that was removed.
This might be akin to him having either 4 lives, or 4 charges to ward off demons.
It's probably not four charges, only the marking of the correct lesser demon house burns I imagine (the fourth and most important one being permanent). Leaving a blank spot while said demon attacks again could leave Raymond vulnerable, which also why he probably has to immediately take a "scrap" or piece of skin off Audrey's vessel, the tattoo being only really effective if complete. It's like having an armored front door with a lock that not even the LPL could lockpick, but one of the windows on the side of the house was left wide open by mistake, any burglar would use that one. Or rather a demon would use that opening to possess a being.
It’s definitely an experience at 10x. I do think in a way the original is a spookier because you don’t know when it’ll spook you so you’re anxious the whole time. But 10x is great for a player like you that played a lot and got all the endings for a new experience.
The father slipped climbing from a rocky area by the beach. Likely Rebecca and her friends went to a spot that had high rocks creating a private spot to do their dr*gs out of visibility of other beach goers or police. Sadly when the dad found Rebecca, it's possible that she was drowning because the tide was coming in (often those places become submerged at night) and he rescued her, hence her coughing in that scene. He likely called emergency services who likely also sent cops since it would have been a drug related incident. But him being wet from saving Rebecca likely caused him to lose his grip on equally wet rocks climbing out to flag the cops down and...he fell to his death.
No.
She went missing (because of a drug OD), her father found her, tried to get the attention of some search party members, but slipped, hit his head, and died.
Although this is the last update for the main game, the dev said in the steam discussions that they plan on doing DLC in the future for the rest of the story. For now, they'd like to focus on other games.
I kinda wish this update was more conclusive though. Because now we're left with this cliffhanger for a loooong time.
Raymond basically marked himself with the royal demon mark on the chest, using flesh of the body the true demon currently possesses. He‘s therefore basically off limits and cannot be possessed by the lesser demon houses anymore. As far as I know, the lesser demons simply enjoy torturing humans and only spawn in the mortuary where Raymond works because it is A) easy for them to posses dead bodies and B) close to the true demon, making the tether between the realms thinner or something. : )
We need more games like this one so Insym can play them. His energy makes all the jumpscares something to look for.
I'm surprised the bodies don't shout at you or something when you get up close to do the eye caps
one thing i expected was for the mouth to open and swallow the moisture wipe lol
@@YourPalKindredthat would be simultaneously hilarious and terrifying
@@AvocadoPsoriasis could you imagine that event happening, and the only consequence is that you need to go and get another moisture wipe to continue? the demon just eats a moisture wipe every couple playthroughs
They do, and its a random jumpscare.
Or the corners of their mouth just turning upwards to smile creepily as you do the teeth thing
This is getting buried but i think it's based off possession. The lore video Insym watches, Raymond states when he gets possessed he gains consciousness back in random areas and doesn't know how long time passes. So I'm guessing the more possession events you interact with causes possession to increase rapidly vs normal gameplay time.
Game : *gives jumpscares*
Insym : AAH!
Me : AAH!
My cat who was sleeping : WTF man?!
It's not the first time, when I felt asleep while watching Insym😅
Not because he is boring, he is a comfort youtuber/streamer for me, and I just love to chill, while he plays.
Clicked on this as soon as I saw it. I love this game. Hope you can keep making content about this game ❤️
me too, this game #1
my theory: The markings on Raymond's chest are defensive markings that banish the demons back to hell once they make contact. in the new ending, the demon makes contact with Raymond's chest and banishes it back to hell, consuming one of the defensive marks. Which is why, Raymond is seen tattooing another mark on himself to replace the mark used. Audrey is currently being possessed by a demon that is too powerful for Raymond to banish back so he is researching the demons and asking for help from assistants to get data on the sub-demons that are searching for their demon leader(Audrey). All of the marking around Audrey are there to keep the demon stuck inside Audrey so it can not posses anyone else. Oh and he needs to use the flesh of the giga-demon as the ink in his tattoos in order for them to be powerful enough to banish weaker demons.
i’ve watched youtubers play this game over 10 different times and by far the scariest “jump scare” i’ve seen is when the chalk man is above the gurney
That one scare in Jack's playthrough? That make me yelp
@@natashaw.7315 YES THAT ONE
Not only am I confused as to how this mortuary stays in business even though a body keeps getting cremated without permission everyday, but even then, how much money could they possibly be making if they have to repair their cremation chamber every day?
It seems that Raymond placing that mark on his body means that he's basically marking himself as "property" of what is essentially the "Royal house" of demons and the lesser demons are forbidden from preying on any claim from the "Royal house".
My oldest daughter and I were watching your playthrough of the new ending on July 4th of all days!!! Booms and explosions while I was holding her so she didn’t headbutt me in reaction. We are excited to watch this together.
At 1:43:15 you can actually see the small mark burn away after Raymond helps Rebecca up!
The other demons mention getting their "prize". Makes me think its a competition of sorts. Whichever of them frees the super demon, their superior, is going to get rewarded. Maybe that's why Valerie's demon gets you to banish the other one before freeing her, as she won't be able to win vs Rebecca if she is already possessed.
Plus, its probably no coincidence the demons keep attacking: perhaps injecting bodies with demons blood helps them come to this world, which Raymond uses to get rid of them, or whatever else he is doing.
Omg! I just recently watched your at dead of night playlist for like the 5th or 6th time now. I love watching you play that game and I think it would be awesome to see you replay it. I look forward to watching it soon!
Broooo I just realized you are so underrated bro i stumbled across your RUclips on a recommendation videos for me and I didn’t know he ain’t even got 1 million subscribers yet which is just crazy to me cause I enjoy watching ur videos all the time now
I’m so glad you’ve played this so much, love the content and hope to see more! I cannot believe how many scares you still haven’t gotten that I’ve gotten or seen other people get and how many scares you’ve gotten that I haven’t or seen other people get! If you do play again, if you listen to the tapes it can help you gain sanity!
1:12:02 It is mentioned that Raymond was a bit possessed too, so maybe he was able to use those powers in that ending with his own consciousness? And the demons think that it will be ez to free the ultra demon but Raymond with his control uses that demon's power to deal with?
Just wanted to point that out XD
37:20 tfw i also go excited because i've been waiting for Insym to get that event too 😂
Omg me too! I rewatched his first reaction so many times, it’s so good 😂
The cold breath that the grandma released at 3:16 jeesh
40:55 it's obviously the teaser for the new frozen movie and you don't want to show spoilers. Very thoughtful, thank you.
There are more than just two Frozen movies? Holy how and when did that happen?
I think people in the chat are right, the time running out and possession increasing is a factor of how many haunts you experience. Since you turned the slider up, you'll experience more haunts, and naturally the time will run out. The unfortunate thing about that is that it means there's probably a somewhat set number of haunts you can experience in any given run, but I'm guessing it's sort of a randomized number within a relatively tight range. And it's probably based on which stage of possession you're at, which selection of haunts it will pick from, which is probably why the more intense ones tend to happen later in the game. It does seem like there might be a timer at the very end though - I don't think it's necessarily going the whole time, but the music definitely seems to kick up at the end and stuff, though from watching several of your runs, the timing seems inconsistent. Sometimes it seems like it'll take forever (like the first time you tried to get the ran out of time ending), and sometimes it'll happen way too quickly. It's unpredictable.
Now that I'm seeing it a second time - the way the body gets tossed by the demon is just really funny. I can't help but laugh at it lmao.
Bro got yeeted and tbf it gets me each time too lmao
My opinion; Raymond is possessed by a greater demon, but keeps it under control with the tattooed symbol (which also is above Audrey's body to keep the demon from destroying it like the one the that Rebecca let out). He has to use the blood/skin of a demon and Audrey is the back up incase his blood supply runs out, hence the comment it makes about a lot of mistakes lately. The demon that attacked Raymond damaged one of the tattoos when he tore his shirt, letting the demon come out out enough to flame/banish the lesser demon, but he has to redo it before he loses control (as if he could hear the end music playing), which is why he doesn't have time or want to explain it to Rebecca. On the VHS he states that he used to love her, but does not as his own possession begins to grow, which would also explain the end when he says good to his mother being tortured for eternity.
Also jumping on the bandwagon, but I recently found you and you’re so entertaining! Also cured my adhd when working since it’s easy to follow, and good background noise for me to focus on work, and longer videos. Thank s!!
Insym playing turbo-haunted Mortuary Assistant and some popcorn is better than watching a scary movie at a theater. 👍🏽
One of the haunts Insym has yet to see, is the white lady appearing in the bathroom mirror, and then crawling out, Ring-girl style.
It's one of the best new haunts imo. Being stuck in such a tiny room, and a nasty ghost crawling out towards you, nowhere to run.... it's awesome.
I could maybe play this game with a minimum slider; Insym unleashes hell for his community. This is why Insym is the best content creator for horror hands down! If you feel the same let him know!!
41:20 I know the story behind RUclips banning that scene.
Last year, everyone was playing it, Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, and some other people; and one of them was a guy of color.
From all the people, he was the only guy of color who got demonetized and age restricted.
He asked RUclips on Twitter, made a huge stink on RUclips, and a week later, the decision was made to ban it on every channel.
The logical decision would be to ALLOW it on every channel, but RUclips believes that it should control what people can and cannot talk about, so...
Yeah, it's their website. But we're also free to call them spineless pussies for trying to avoid the topic of suicide.
@@stormbornapostle5188 Just to avoid being racist.
This is probably the scariest and best horror game I've seen in a while
**apologies in advance - I am always nervous with 's in an english as it is not my native language**
Theory follows ->
How about this....
You see a mark of a Über Demon up above Audrey, and as you can see three marks going down from the same mark on Raymond's chest... what if these marks represent his relatives or distant relatives. Then the last and fourth symbol would be beneath these three, as a strongest of them, only these three combined can bring the Raymond down?
Mark 1 - Audrey - sister
Mark 2 - David - brother
Mark 3 - Rebecca - 2nd sister's granddaughter
I do not recall the exact story, but what if they are all relatives (or distant relatives), Rebecca's grandma could be also a Raymond's sister... after she started a family and somehow missed all the demonic boogaloo by the Raymond, or ran away ASAP - imagine she was none the wiser, but now she has some demonic taint - since we see a hallucination of her via Rebecca. What if granny encouraging Rebecca to take the job was already a demon playing a "young and naive Becky" - as she is "always being played, always someone's servant". Rebecca already being on thin ice, dealing with the deaths of her mom and papa (which the demon(s) killed - via drugs, bad company, what have you) to undermine Raymond's hold over them.
Could it be, that Raymond felt, that Rebecca had the needed strength/will, to finally banish the demons hunting him and his family?
She was - after all - clever enough to find closure for her father, and all the other souls calling for help.
And since Raymond dismissed her demands of explanation it would make sense to me... I dunno... it's kinda making sense to me...
The body smiling is one of the strongest indications of the possession.
I found you a couple months ago now my favorite streamer and youtuber
Your playthrough is the best I've seen so far!!
37:17 Hooray!!
The “FINALLY” 😂😂😂 laughed too hard
I think this is the greatest horror game ever made. I wish they'd keep adding to it.
13:13 dots projector lookin run
So has anyone tried yet to pick up the shovel to see if you can dig up the body in the back shown on the VHS tape? Is that a thing at all or any other clues back there?
And is there any way to get into the secret room that you see in the new ending on your own?
I appreciate you playing this comprehensively like this, I saw a few clips when the game got popular and have been dying to learn about the endings without being brave enough to play myself 😅
I wonder if the new game might allow you to play as Rebecca where you're a demon kicking badass.
Been binging all the horror games on this channel recently and between this, Night Security, Fears to Fathom: Carson House, etc - it's been a blast!
Imagine Insym working as a real mortuary assistant and talking to the demon like "Chill out brother.. Not now.. I'm busy doing stuff.." 😂😂🤣
Has anyone confirmed whether or not lowering the Demon activity lowers the chance for signs of demonic tenancy to show in any of the bodies? I played a couple times with the slider nearly set to 0, and no matter how much time has passed, no demonic marks would show up on any of the bodies, and I couldn't see any movement that'd show the signs of possession.
49:00 the part about detecting a sponsor segment coming up was so relatable This is how I know I watch to much youtube lol
It was so crazy and so cool I love watching you play! Can’t wait to see more updates on this game, keep going and know you got this in the bag!❤
I’ve been waiting for this video, saw the notification on my prom day, made my day even better
i think the dev is working on both, this game and a second one, and the updates on the first game move towards the second one, including all of the first game content(because he can just swap the code over) and then adds new stuff to the second game...atleast thats what i think tho
54:00 good one
No audio events were added. Insym is just getting crazier.
I *love* max aggression. Great addition.
insym excitement over jumpscares makes this game so much better
The second you went to turn on the light switch in the dark hallway at 5:50 an ad played and it jump scared tf outta me
37:20 oh thats what you where talking about😮 thought you meant where Blackguy slowly apears behind the pc ^^
insym + mortuary assistant(phasmo) = **chefs kiss**
The way he walks right next to the entrance hallway and looks into it while standing right there freaks me out every time LOL I always walk to the other side of the gurney if I look down that hallway!!!
6:03 this is when your Internet is slow😂
My ADHD appreciates the way the game interrupts serious discussions 47:15
You can identify the body which is possessed early.
When the door starts banging, go and look at which one it is. If it's all doors then leave, if it's single then that is the possessed body.
This works every single time. Try it.
I've never seen that part of the Grandma event and NO THANKS. I usually just ignore her at the window.
Broh, this game is CRAZY, and the best thing is that you always get scared even if you play a hundred times, and all the events are random and different so is always fun to play
GJ devs!!! 😎😎
I'm pretty sure the last ending is after Rebecca has been there for a while. Or not, only think so bc of the words Rebecca uses when she tells him off.
There's actually a better event than the body that walks up behind the computer.... There's one where the demon is looking at you over the top of the computer and is much harder to notice. It's just like all of a sudden you notice a face looking at you from over the screen. I only had it one time when I was looking at the computer for hella long then all of a sudden, I noticed it.
Can't wait to see you play alien isolation. Still haven't beaten that game
I really love this game because it deals with fighting actual demons and your inner demons which can sometimes be even worse, I'm an ex addict in recovery 5 years clean and the way Rebecca has worked hard to rebuild her life including starting a new career yet she still deals with massive guilt and trauma everyday it's so realistic and true & I appreciate that the devs wrote such an honest and lifelike character 🖤
This! I'm on day 7 of getting sober off Fentanyl. I swear Fentanyl/addiction I'd such a demon. And it's such a battle everyday. This game hit home.. that's for sure.
YES! This is what i was waiting on!! Thank you for sharing. This is my top favorite game all year
The Fake Ending is the one you get when you burn a body without doing any of the embalming steps. It's much shorter than the running out of time ending. You still get locked up in the basement, but with Raymond not saying a word, just glaring at you with disappointment.
why am I getting jump scared watching the vid lol thanks Insym...
Yesss I was hoping you’d do it at max capacity 😂😂❤❤❤
1:19:05 the body started to sit up before he left the computer screen lol
thank u for blurring 1:29:50 i appreciate u insym
As a human being I guess this guy is the most talkative person I have ever seen in RUclips. You belong to 2nd most talkative guy ever. 17:20
This is how i understand the questions you ask the first one i also have why cant the demon leave Audrey and attach to someone else the second one i think the demons are scared of the ultra demon, raymond has its mark on his chest, also he has the skin of the ultra demon on the tattoo so that would explain the reason why the demon got scared of the mark. This might bw wrong but this is my opinion of understanding the ending.
42:15 And it deprives people of potentially life-saving information. RUclips is starting to go astray, I think.
The sound of that embalming machine has become nostalgic. lol
Raymond is like Constantine in the movie, from my understanding at least, loved by some and hated by others.
I was playing this just a few days ago and the possessed body literally BLINKED. That was it. It was horrifying. I’m not sure if that’s new, but I sure never seen it/ noticed it before.
The scene where he dies is especially funny if you hear his sneeze first.
Finally! I've been waiting for this :'D
Glad to see more of this game, love that it's still getting updated
More mortuary assistant please we cant get enough of it
It seems the demons are drawn to Raymond because the "ultra" demon said that he couldn't hold them off forever eventually there won't be any more and he'll be dragged to hell and the demon that we see attack him only get scarred after it's hurt by his tattoo when it scratch at his chest it only damages the clothes not his skin and there are embers(red glowing pieces) coming off from the attack so the tattoo is for defense and attack seeing as he kills the attacking demon and how he reacts when the "ultra" says the longer he keep it the more his mother will suffer make me wonder if the reason the demons are drawn to him is because of something she did possibly even what caused her to be possessed in the first place
I believer u did not notice there was a corpse change for a moment at the first body after the first hard knocking :P
This is such a cool game. Please more of this!
I am excited for all the games you mentioned for nostalgia month!
