@@lol.953Yeah, but the monsters mostly come out at night.... mostly... IGP!!! Wait, Don't Go! I'm scared! My mommy always told me there were no REAL monsters, but there are, aren't there?! Why do they tell little kids that?
@@TheBlackSpastic Let your son sleep. Treat him well every day that way you wont have any regrets. People get swept up in fits of passion and forget you need to be on your A game all day every day for your kids's future.
I do appreciate you acknowledging that it might not be the dad who's bad. People always assume it's the men and sometimes it's just not. Apologies for being so serious for a moment.
It's not always the dad. My dad is a wonderful altruistic man. My mother ruined his life with the divorce when I was a baby. She lives a much better life than him in another state while I live with my dad and we struggle most of the time.
If you have watched IGP and Icy play Among the Sleep, which this game seems to be heavily influenced by, there is a twist that shows exactly that it’s not always the dad who is the monster, but the hero!
In the US at least, mothers are almost twice as likely to be ‘the bad one,’ at least for the child. At least by the numbers. It’s most likely because mothers are more often awarded custody than fathers or some other factor, I don’t know. With that last bit in mind-It’s BOTH equally, sadly. I may be biased, since I had two mothers and they both were horrendous people, attacked by father for as long as they could. I’m so grateful he never gave up even after I became an adult. But the courts awarding custody to mothers much more than fathers also partly allows for mothers to get away with it when they otherwise might not. And Dad gets blamed and might be handing over child support his baby may never see. This ignores many of the other family dynamics at play here, but this is a topic that I hold dear to my heart, forgive me for getting on my soap box.
@@florpleborp2275the thing is, statistically fathers are likely to get custody IF they actually fight for it. the thing is, the way men are raised, very few want that sole responsibility. not that there arent any bad mothers that fight battles with good dads, but the reason a majority of kids go to the mothers is simply the way women and men are conditioned by society. women are ""supposed"" to be the primary caretakers, and its a thankless job that many men know they dont want to deal with
this shit hit me on a personal level, i OD'd on benadryl as a kid after convincing myself my parents would stop fighting if i was gone. was living nightmares for most of my elementary/middle school years as my brain was healing, and this game felt like it captured a bit of that feeling. solid work and thank you for being genuinely you throughout the playthrough, it helps ground the experience.
@@IGP I appreciate it, and to be fairly honest, yea, it was a hell that I still suffer the consequences of today. I consider myself very lucky in both surviving the experience, and finding the right people who've shown me that healing can look a lot less scary. It's honestly surreal just how much this game reminded me of my own audio/visual experience as a child, feeling like everything was so slightly off, and home being the place I feared the most.
@@IGP honestly IGP I love that you communicate with us in these comments. And OMG this game made me tear up, I'm a very empathetic person and can usually feel people's emotions, it happened with Edith finch when I played it and it happened with this game after I watched your video, I guess when it comes to things, well written games, movies and just people in general kinda do that to me😅 Great video as always man, may not have kids of my own yet but I could only imagine how you were feeling playing this game, great job.
@@vincenttrigg4521 honestly me too, I know what's it's like to take an attempt on your own life, not fun, not fun at all, kinda destroys the metal state.
Steelkrill is so fascinating. They dont just make horror. They explore horror. The real scary moments of this game is all the trauma this child is experiencing and not the monsters themselves. This is real horror that humans experience. Not some horrific cryptid or anything like that. True genuine fear that almost everybody can relate to.
4:09 the parents fighting has the be the most frightening and traumatic thing I’ve heard in a horror game. Growing up in a house like that gives a whole new meaning to the story. Props to the actors, dude. 🥲
This has to be and one in only game where you're playing as a toddler and experiencing what it like in their POV. They can't talk, but they understand things good or bad (toy wise, even though it a video game, pretty sure in the real world toddler's understand words from what parent's are saying to them by expression).
Among the Sleep did the toddler thing many years ago, but I love Steelkrill's take on it. So many aspects tying into the lore for the kid in this one. Both games are fantastic.
As an adult who has lived through childhood trauma for 17 years of my life. This game depicts my nightmares. We had a downstairs in our house. Every nightmare I had when I was little was of watching skeletons crawling up out of the concrete floor in our basement, and chasing me up the stairs. For me, hearing abuse (mental and physical) will make a child be afraid of either parent. So for me, this game isn’t one parent. It’s both.
This game was intense, definitely some dark subject matter. I like the idea of ‘scary’ toys being good and ‘friendly’ ones being deceptive, but I felt like it was a little underutilized with the design of the monster stalking us being pretty much equally as scary as the toys were. Obviously you still want the monster of your game to feel intimidating but honestly, i think it could work if the monster was a little closer to conventional ‘cuteness’. (I say this as a kid who was terrified of Beanie Boos because of their enormous eyeballs, my dad used to hide them around the house and I’d get freaked out seeing their glittery eyes staring out from a dark crevice.) But plot wise, DAMN. Anything that covers bad parental relationships and how they affect the kid, goes right for my heart.
90 minute horror game video to watch at night? Hell yes. Congrats on 3 million subscribers Indy! I’m so happy for your success, can’t wait to see you hit the next milestone!
So I want to mention this as I picked it up upon IGP playing and making up his mind on how the game would end, the Monster using Mother's voice was a smart touch. I believe it was a lure mechanism for Aiden to come out of hiding. Aiden felt secure and happy around his Mother, and upon seeing the ending, how Father was drunk and beat up his wife. Father still in drunken state tried to lure out Aiden with soft voice just like how Aiden's mother did. "Aiden, it's me. Your mother'' the monster using that probably masking the Father using those lines to lure Aiden out of hiding.
Just another reason why I absolutely adore you, IGP. I didn’t think there was another person like me who is so heavily affected by things having to do with children being hurt or scared or sad. Even before I became a mother, it was like that. I can’t even watch the movie Poltergeist because I am so viscerally affected by Carol Anne screaming to her mommy for help through the TV. I heard you choking back the pain and the tears in your voice when the baby’s voice came through during the parent’s argument. Being a parent just changes you, man.
Okay I just want to put my theory out there I'm only at 32:14 in the video and I can already pretty much guarantee you. That those mannequins they're like cutting in half or the red bear that lays there giving you items. Sometimes those represent dead bodies, but the kid in the game can't perceive where death is. So that's what he sees destroyed toys. I just want to throw that out there
My little brother was a massive fan of horror stuff, even though he was 5! We let him watch stuff as he was terminally ill, but he genuinely enjoyed it. He had a cartoon cat plushie that he wouldn’t go anywhere without. I miss you Toby, hope you’re enjoying some awesome horror movies up there
Story time: I VAGUELY remember daycare. Around 18+ months at least. I don't remember the circumstance, but during nap time I SOME HOW managed to go outside in the backyard and bring the sprinkler inside. Not sure if I brought it in then turned it on or if it was all ready on. The lady that watched us was a very patient Jamaican. I was a... sneaky (?) kid. Dad was in the Navy, so we lived in naval housing since I was born until about 4 years old. In that time, I managed to dump an entire paint can on the hardwood floor and 'hide' it under a rug, wake up in the middle of the night and eat a stick and a half of butter before barfing all over the hallway, set my dad's pillow on fire, and have a hot iron fall on top of my hand (which had me in a zinc lotion/ointment wrap for a bit). To my mom's credit, she was also caring for newborn twins while dad was working. I knew not to touch dad's handgun though.... I am an ELDER millennial (Xillenial?). My folks are boomers, rub dirt on a cut kind of people. So we sorta were allowed to run amok. I got all my dumbass moments out of my system before age 5... I don't ever recall having odd perceptions of things that scared me. Honestly, I think I gave my folks nightmares. T_T.
As someone who had to deal with this around the same age, you never really forget. Almost 40 years later, I still remember the yelling, the crying, the abuse, and the beer cans all over. This game captures it in a chilling way. Not many tend to touch on subject like this in the way SteelKrill does, each of their games have had the same harrowing effect, but are so well done I can't really say it is a bad thing.
This and Among the Sleep are some of the coolest games because of the fact you play from a child’s perspective. You can easily make simple, unassuming things look terrifying because that’s how kids see things! We need more horror like that
Dude, an IGP video over an hour long is absolutely perfect for me right now. My parents are celebrating their wedding anniversary (they left me behind because I'm a little shit) so they'll be out for a while, leaving me home alone. Just gotta get snacks and I'm set until they get back.
I'm at 27 minutes and I'm starting to think that looks like some sort of laboratory for testing. Also I apparently didn't like daycare one time my mum spoke about the past and I apparently hiked over the fence and started to follow them home somehow so I couldn't perceived it as a safe place
Hello IGP! Ryan here, the solo developer of the game! Once again I can't thank you enough for playing my game! I know I mostly say this on every of your video but I really do enjoy your content and get excited when I see you play man, it's always an honor seeing you play my game. I really really appreciate it dude and it makes my day every time. I'll be honest and share something I never really did, things haven't been the best lately but that's a part of life. I was also rejected by bigger publisher who wanted me to make changes because they felt my games were 'too dark' and wanted to turn my game into something totally different. But I just want to create the games I’m passionate about and tell the stories I want to tell. As long as people keep enjoying them and as long as my health allows it, I will keep doing my best. I’m incredibly grateful for all of your support being able to do this, because it's the reason I can keep doing what I love and what makes me happy. So I just want to say thank you, and I appreciate you all really! I'm sorry I put you through that in the end, I felt kind of bad now haha but I am glad you enjoyed the game! 😊 Thanks again to IGP and to everyone else - hope everyone enjoys it as well! Feel free to give me any feedback as it really helps me out! Have a wonderful day everyone 💙
Dude your game has blown up! Everyone is playing it and everyone's loving it! Stay to to yourself. Much love❤ can't wait to see what's next. I know it'll be fire!
Man, your game is actually awesome, reminds me of among the sleep, it's been years since i played and it was one of the first games i ever watched in yt, yours truly brought it back and it feels great, thank u so much for developing games like this, greetings from Uruguay
my heart dropped as soon as i heard the parents screaming at each other... any child who goes through that.. they don't deserve it. if you have, i give you the absolute biggest hug and all of my love. you didn't deserve that.
That was the saddest thing I've ever witnessed in a video game! Well done dev! And well done to you good sir, the one and only IGP! I love your content my friend and the way you express your thoughts....😢
Just finished... and the title was NOT kidding... i can rewatch and still not be ready! That was AWESOME! Thanks for the amazing content as always IGP! Congrats on the ever-growing channel!!! ❤❤❤🎉
i grew up in a very harsh household lets say that, so this game and story really hit me hard and i have to say it its very good demonstrated i hope the dev gets the support he needs. truly amazing story writing
I didn't get those father hugs you mentioned at the end, and i swear, i swear im crying, thank you so much for being a dad for your kids and telling them you love them, i can really tell that they will never forget those words. Besides that, i love how you just talk with us trought all of your videos, love you igp:)
You always find some of the coolest horror games and I’m here for it. Been watching for a few years and the content has never let me down, much love IGP and keep up the good work❤
I know its an old game and IGP may have already played it in his times, still I would absolutely love to see a trip down memory lane and watch indie play condemned dude he would love it.
This honestly made me feel so sad really. No child deserves to go through something like that. But the bad thing is that it happens to too many kids. I wish I could give that baby a hug. I just finished the video now and my god this kind of horror hurts me rather than scare me tbh.
Man this playthrough hit hard in so many ways. Going from feeling sad to angry to just completely heartbroken and the cycle continued. Thanks for sharing the playthrough IGP. I don't think I could ever play this game myself.
I can tell everytime IGP pauses walking that this game is actually getting to him. I mean, it was getting to me too, but man... Its heartbreaking to hear both the story and IGP's reaction to it.
I’m 20-30 minutes in and I’m putting in my theory, both of the parents are bad people, the Father is more physical, taking out his rage on objects, whereas the mother is more mental, physiologically harming her child by pushing horrible thoughts into her child’s mind. The intro/tutorial is how the child pictured what happened, the father being this aggressive beast that chases him around, causing the Aiden to run away. He is then found by his mother, who, very creepily, calls out to him, attempting to kidnap Aiden it seems, before his father swoops in and grabs him. They seem to view Aiden as a trophy, a tool to hurt eachother, not loving Aiden, only what they can do with him, not wanting the other one to have him because they love hurting them. I also see another possibility where Aiden doesn’t understand what’s going on, and sees his father as a bully, but he is actually trying to protect his son from this despicable side of the mother that has shown itself. This one is less likely though, since it’s similar to another one of their games.
Well. I’m sorry Aiden’s mum. God, this game double subverted my expectations, at first you think it’s going to be the classic dad hurts wife, but then it completely flips itself, making you think it’s the mother who’s the villain, only to show it’s actually the Dad again. This is the only game I’ve ever watched or played that’s made me feel ANYTHING like this. I don’t have kids, I’m not married, I don’t even have a partner, hell, my parents are still alright with eachother post divorce. But this game, it made me feel like I knew this child’s pain and trauma. With red bellies hand sticking up at the end, showing that he’ll never escape his father mentally. I’m going to go hug my cat and cry a bit whilst I watch this again now.
had a super crappy day but IGP posted so maybe it’s not too crappy. your videos always cheer me up man, can’t wait to watch this one and many more after.
First off, I cannot believe that this game was made by a single person. That’s insane! Second, congrats to Indy for hitting 3 million! Finally, Jesus Crimminy Christmas this game is absolutely terrifying. Watching the tutorial section I was considering playing it for my channel but after seeing the rest of it...Uh-uh, no fuckin way.
Despite all the depressing things happening in the story what truly brought tears to my eyes was the end when you said you are going to hug your kids and tell them you love them. It really hit hard and I have nothing but respect for you IGP. I wish you and your family nothing but the absolute best from the bottom of heart. Have an amazing night and I'll see you in your next video.
As someone with not the greatest childhood, this game is super uncomfortable and unsettling. Which is praise for Steelkrill to some degree; the variance in setting/themes per game is so different and grounded in itself. Honestly pretty peak. A piece of art is only "great" if it evokes some kind of response from you...
I’ve been watching you for years and have enjoyed every second of watching you explore and experience every genre of games. Laughs, scares, edge of your seat suspense but this game truly opened up a whole new range of emotions. The empathy in your voice for Aidan, “I’m going to go hug my kids” comment. Thank you for continuing to play these games and giving us, your audience, a truly unforgettable experience. As for the developer, please continue to make whatever your heart desires no matter what other “larger” companies say. This was incredible. That darkness they said you should steer away from is what had me truly invested in this game.
As someone named Aiden, this video had me straight up having another type of reaction. I genuinely felt immersed in the story and it was just....great, absolutely fantastic. Great video as always IGP.
Just finished watching…. And I can’t stop sobbing. My daughter is a teenager now, but she will never be too big for me to scoop her up and hold her in my arms. “I love you forever, I like you for always. As long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be….” ❤
While the premise of playing as a toddler is similar to Among the Sleep, this story is MUCH darker. I agree, though, I'm like 90% sure this is related to Stairway 7. Such heavy subjects in these indie games, man. I'm a parent of 3 and this whole story HURTS.
hearing the argument, and the visuals and sound drop really brought back some ptsd haha. I have trauma from my dad, my whole family does, and seeing your parent as a monster is really what it feels like. Im older now, 20. seeing these games are definitely an experience again I find these interesting when people include parent fighting, it touches into many peoples hearts and minds. laying out what some people went through, and as that someone, its fairly well done. the calling out, distorted feelings, props to the dev. I like the many things you point out, like the distortion in the mothers voice. I know not many people would wanna read someone else's trauma, but these kinds of games really hit home, and they are done really well. and as usual, played well by our one and only IGP. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk, I hope the people who watch this video heal from their trauma, and know they are loved
This game is great and I loved watching you play it, the game has some minor bugs but that’s to be expected and I can’t hate on it because it hits home so hard
I think that’s adorable. The fact how IGP was like “Awe!!Baby don’t worry baby” or something similar. But I like that cause it’s like how he treats his kids when they are crying. And sorry for the long rant. But just really like that father hood. Even though I don’t have kids myself.
So eerie! The sound effects and the interactions brings out the games creepiness and helps us to really feel the toddler's experience. Way to go Steelkrill!
My parents fought so frequently when I was a little child that I still have ptsd to this day... I understand what the main character of this game is dealing with... parents who fight genuinely suck...
I watched Skilly's playthrough, and he noted something that, when he said it, i thought it didnt make much sense, but he noted the (possibility at the very least, but it does make a lot of sense) Kid is actually autistic. His playthrough is... Typical Skilly lol but i enjoy hearing him share his thoughts hahahaha
I thought that too towards the end, but I think the game was going for the trauma causing him to retreat to comfort items like the dolls and the show. Hard to separate reality from fiction when you are lost in the fiction trying to escape the hell that is your home and the monsters in it. Not to spoil anything for the other viewers, but the ending really ties it all together that the parents were not aware of the damage they were doing to the child with their toxic relationship with each other.
@@IGP Yeah, i agree. Except that at the start, as the mother is telling the bedtime story, she does say "he was a kid different from the others", which is something i was also told in my childhood (i'm autistic and the b#### i got by being autistic lol) anyways, sorry for that, and the fact that Aiden specifically picks ugly dolls, or the least nice looking ones, because, as his mother says it, "he doesn't like leaving them alone". But your thought process makes so very much sense too. The constant arguments and yelling could have made Aiden attempt to hide in his own world (btw, Autism, in ancient Greek, means, "in one's world") by evading other kids (the yelling) and the nice looking dolls (not being left aside, the whole "fake nice smile" and stuff). Also, thanks for reading my comment, IGP (was gonna call you Indie but That's your choice). I always love a good chat about a great game/movie. Peace!
I keep hearing people say they can't imagine what it's like living in a situation like this, and they rightfully should. That truth alone is what makes the PTSD the hardest to deal with. My parents were far worse than this. Dad beat us all once or twice a month. He was a drunk and liked ruling the house as a tyrant using fear and violence to control us. But I've never heard him say things like he wishes we were never born. Mom beat us once or twice a week. She was frustrated at being married to dad and took it out on me and my brother. She loved saying things like "Why did you have to be born" and "Just die already, you're worthless" while she did it and made multiple suicide attempts via OD throughout my time in that house. Which is worse? They also never bothered assimilating so it sure was a pleasure as the first generation to be born in the states figuring out America and taking care of my brother while they did this up until high school. I took weight training, grew bigger than them and fought back. That's what it took them to stop. It wasn't the cops that I called who came, called me a liar, then left me there in that house with them. It wasn't any of the school staff who could clearly see the bruises but just couldn't be bothered to get involved. I had to become physically stronger than my own parents for the purpose of fighting them back. Now, as an adult, the hypervigilance and tying success to never becoming like my parents again, I've done pretty well for myself in life. Except for the fact that I suffer from Complex PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder and who knows what else since the VA took years to change my diagnosis from Unspecified Depressive Disorder to the other 2 and I didn't even know what healthcare was until I enlisted at 27 to escape that hellhole (funny that I was able to become a flight paramedic, but hypervigilance has it's merits). I live with thoughts of death, suicide and homicide as almost just passing thoughts throughout the day. I'm a worst case scenario thinker and play it all vividly in my head because I can never switch off my survival mode thinking. Sometimes I don't even know why I'm so on edge. The flashbacks are persistent and can be utterly debilitating. The fatigue that comes with hypervigilance feels crippling at times. I was a severe alcoholic during my army days and for a while after. After quitting drinking last year, my PTSD decided to rear it's ugly head and has pretty much ruined my life now. I cut contact with my parents for good last year. Kind of easy to do since all they do now is try to play mind games with me to give them money. I helped mom out a little bit after I forced dad out and became "head of the family" so to speak but that's another story which funnily enough involves me blowing up on her for using that line, "We stayed together for you kids". Had a random flashback a couple months ago and all the "mental health" work I thought I had done till now pretty much went out the window. The hopelessness that comes with knowing that at any second of any day, I can have a random flashback and I become a complete wreck is quite unreal. Add onto that the fact that quite a lot of things trigger me now and there is no in-between. When I get triggered now, I'm just at 100. So now I feel the need to isolate myself from others. "Trust issues" doesn't even begin to describe the dread and fear of abandonment. Your videos have filled a void for me that other people will never understand. Thanks IGP.
Hits close to home, hearing the baby cry while the parents argue and shit gets thrown was gut wrenching, thanks for your super good understanding of parent relationships while playing this IGP
God I love the way you play horror games like these, not playing for the action but for the story. The way you immerse yourself into the characters and environments is super engaging, and the theories you craft on the fly are super interesting to listen to on top of super entertaining gameplay. I love how much you explore environments as well instead of just flying through them like most other letsplayers, and not just in this game but all of the games you play. You're probably one of if not my favorite youtuber on the platform and i hope you keep making content like this forever
Its nothing against you man, i love your vids but i cant watch this one. The moment the toddler said "mommy....daddy" i had to bail. Things like this really mess with me especially since I am a father to 2 toddlers right now. The thought of innocent babies having to go through stuff like this breaks me.
No worries, I respect it. That moment broke me, too. Set me up for the rest of the game feeling so lost mentally. The ending made me legit cry and I can't remember the last time a game did that to me.
I don't usually watch your videos immediately when they come out, not because the videos are bad, but because they need to be savored. Each video is something special, so I like to draw it out to enjoy them. Usually saving them for when I'm laying in bed at three A.M. and unable to sleep. I cannot say the amount of times I have gone back and rewatched videos, especially the multiplayer horror games.
Whatched IGP for so long that I know any game with kids getting hurt in any way would hurt him like 5 trucks because he is a father of 2+ kids (don't know how many he has exactly, and it's not my right to know, he mentioned them sometimes in the past and even in this video when he spoke of some doll type, but that is his own choice and his own life so I will respect it and only say: I hope the entire family is happy and living in peace.)
Part of me feels like the creator of these games is making horror games from his own past. Dealing with his own mental anguish. Trauma from childhood can destroy you forever. Some kids get over it but others.... they cant handle it and end up ending their own lives. My trauma has messed me up but im still here because i want to help others. I hope the creator of these games has a wonderful life and keeps making such wonderful masterpieces
The ending made me cry. After 16 years spend with a mentally ill mother and 13years with alcoholic father. Between the two, my father got better and my mother didn't. I've been taken care of by child protection services and I now work towards youth work. These types of things I hear everyday from the kids coming in from Foster care families, it moves me to my core. Amazing game tho! I couldn't help but feel my throat tighten at the sight of the monster
"Your parents relationships are not a reflection of you, but they end up taking it out on you anyway" 39:36 God damn IGP, that was...some crazy fucking insight. Like sometimes I forget you're not just the funny guy I watch every now and then, but you're a real person with real experience and real insights. That quote hit me like a freight train.
Watched this with my husband, we both didn’t have the best childhoods and were vowing to do it differently for our two kids. One of which I gave birth to last week. We both felt like shit at the end, just hit a little too close to home for the two of us.
I remember when IGP was lesser known, crazy he hit 3M!!! 🎉😢🎉 Time flies so fast, I'm so happy for you dude, you got me through such hard times in my life... IGP i love you man
Because sometimes, the real monsters come in a nice way and in a friendly face. Those words ring true
It's those friendly faces that cut deeper
Then the knife in my balls
I come no matter what
@@lol.953Yeah, but the monsters mostly come out at night.... mostly...
IGP!!! Wait, Don't Go! I'm scared! My mommy always told me there were no REAL monsters, but there are, aren't there?! Why do they tell little kids that?
@@FilthTribeFTP We are told there are no monsters when we are kids, when we get older we realize that we are the monsters
.... That parent argument was too real for a game. That's just sadness on top of horror.
thats actually a free sound clip you can find online, ive used it before for a song. if you are talking about the one in the beginning.
I wanna stop watching after hearing the babies voice. I want to go wake my son up and hug him.
@@TheBlackSpastic Let your son sleep. Treat him well every day that way you wont have any regrets. People get swept up in fits of passion and forget you need to be on your A game all day every day for your kids's future.
@@Allister_1 Wise words
the parents reminded me of when i was smaller and would hear shouts and glass shattering from my parents
IGP: is hiding from a terrifying monster
Also IGP: "hehe, ooh i got little baby hands! :3"
I do appreciate you acknowledging that it might not be the dad who's bad. People always assume it's the men and sometimes it's just not. Apologies for being so serious for a moment.
It's not always the dad. My dad is a wonderful altruistic man. My mother ruined his life with the divorce when I was a baby. She lives a much better life than him in another state while I live with my dad and we struggle most of the time.
Sometimes it's dad, sometimes it's mom, sometimes it's both, and not even being horrible, just flawed.
If you have watched IGP and Icy play Among the Sleep, which this game seems to be heavily influenced by, there is a twist that shows exactly that it’s not always the dad who is the monster, but the hero!
In the US at least, mothers are almost twice as likely to be ‘the bad one,’ at least for the child. At least by the numbers. It’s most likely because mothers are more often awarded custody than fathers or some other factor, I don’t know. With that last bit in mind-It’s BOTH equally, sadly.
I may be biased, since I had two mothers and they both were horrendous people, attacked by father for as long as they could. I’m so grateful he never gave up even after I became an adult. But the courts awarding custody to mothers much more than fathers also partly allows for mothers to get away with it when they otherwise might not.
And Dad gets blamed and might be handing over child support his baby may never see.
This ignores many of the other family dynamics at play here, but this is a topic that I hold dear to my heart, forgive me for getting on my soap box.
@@florpleborp2275the thing is, statistically fathers are likely to get custody IF they actually fight for it. the thing is, the way men are raised, very few want that sole responsibility. not that there arent any bad mothers that fight battles with good dads, but the reason a majority of kids go to the mothers is simply the way women and men are conditioned by society. women are ""supposed"" to be the primary caretakers, and its a thankless job that many men know they dont want to deal with
this shit hit me on a personal level, i OD'd on benadryl as a kid after convincing myself my parents would stop fighting if i was gone. was living nightmares for most of my elementary/middle school years as my brain was healing, and this game felt like it captured a bit of that feeling. solid work and thank you for being genuinely you throughout the playthrough, it helps ground the experience.
Goddamn, I'm sorry that happened to you. Must have been hell...
Glad you're still around, hope that's all healed for you in all ways possible.
@@IGP I appreciate it, and to be fairly honest, yea, it was a hell that I still suffer the consequences of today. I consider myself very lucky in both surviving the experience, and finding the right people who've shown me that healing can look a lot less scary.
It's honestly surreal just how much this game reminded me of my own audio/visual experience as a child, feeling like everything was so slightly off, and home being the place I feared the most.
@@IGP honestly IGP I love that you communicate with us in these comments.
And OMG this game made me tear up, I'm a very empathetic person and can usually feel people's emotions, it happened with Edith finch when I played it and it happened with this game after I watched your video, I guess when it comes to things, well written games, movies and just people in general kinda do that to me😅
Great video as always man, may not have kids of my own yet but I could only imagine how you were feeling playing this game, great job.
I'm glad you survived. I hope life is treating you better than it was ❤
@@vincenttrigg4521 honestly me too, I know what's it's like to take an attempt on your own life, not fun, not fun at all, kinda destroys the metal state.
Steelkrill is so fascinating. They dont just make horror. They explore horror. The real scary moments of this game is all the trauma this child is experiencing and not the monsters themselves. This is real horror that humans experience. Not some horrific cryptid or anything like that. True genuine fear that almost everybody can relate to.
4:09 the parents fighting has the be the most frightening and traumatic thing I’ve heard in a horror game. Growing up in a house like that gives a whole new meaning to the story. Props to the actors, dude. 🥲
Apparently another comment said its audio you can get from a stock audio site
this is the type of game that makes me want to spawn in the game's world and protect the baby at any cost.
This has to be and one in only game where you're playing as a toddler and experiencing what it like in their POV. They can't talk, but they understand things good or bad (toy wise, even though it a video game, pretty sure in the real world toddler's understand words from what parent's are saying to them by expression).
Among the Sleep did the toddler thing many years ago, but I love Steelkrill's take on it. So many aspects tying into the lore for the kid in this one. Both games are fantastic.
We got Among The Sleep tho?
@@IGPhonestly I thought about among the sleep again when you posted this, been years since I heard about it last
@@IGP Agreed. I've actually had ideas for like, a similar idea myself, in terms of toddler horror, cause IMO, it's arguably scarier
As an adult who has lived through childhood trauma for 17 years of my life. This game depicts my nightmares. We had a downstairs in our house. Every nightmare I had when I was little was of watching skeletons crawling up out of the concrete floor in our basement, and chasing me up the stairs.
For me, hearing abuse (mental and physical) will make a child be afraid of either parent. So for me, this game isn’t one parent. It’s both.
This game was intense, definitely some dark subject matter. I like the idea of ‘scary’ toys being good and ‘friendly’ ones being deceptive, but I felt like it was a little underutilized with the design of the monster stalking us being pretty much equally as scary as the toys were. Obviously you still want the monster of your game to feel intimidating but honestly, i think it could work if the monster was a little closer to conventional ‘cuteness’. (I say this as a kid who was terrified of Beanie Boos because of their enormous eyeballs, my dad used to hide them around the house and I’d get freaked out seeing their glittery eyes staring out from a dark crevice.)
But plot wise, DAMN. Anything that covers bad parental relationships and how they affect the kid, goes right for my heart.
Could have used a porcelain face and a somewhat tattered suit/dress since those lil fuckers are creepy as all hells
90 minute horror game video to watch at night? Hell yes. Congrats on 3 million subscribers Indy! I’m so happy for your success, can’t wait to see you hit the next milestone!
Erm, it's actually 85 minutes 🤓☝️
So I want to mention this as I picked it up upon IGP playing and making up his mind on how the game would end, the Monster using Mother's voice was a smart touch. I believe it was a lure mechanism for Aiden to come out of hiding. Aiden felt secure and happy around his Mother, and upon seeing the ending, how Father was drunk and beat up his wife. Father still in drunken state tried to lure out Aiden with soft voice just like how Aiden's mother did. "Aiden, it's me. Your mother'' the monster using that probably masking the Father using those lines to lure Aiden out of hiding.
Just another reason why I absolutely adore you, IGP. I didn’t think there was another person like me who is so heavily affected by things having to do with children being hurt or scared or sad. Even before I became a mother, it was like that. I can’t even watch the movie Poltergeist because I am so viscerally affected by Carol Anne screaming to her mommy for help through the TV.
I heard you choking back the pain and the tears in your voice when the baby’s voice came through during the parent’s argument. Being a parent just changes you, man.
I can promise you that alot of people are like you and IGP. My heart aches so much when I see or hear children getting hurt or being scared.. :(
Im genuinely struggling to watch this right now at 11:58. My daughter is 10mo old
Most people are like that, a large majority of people hate it when children are harmed in any way
Okay I just want to put my theory out there I'm only at 32:14 in the video and I can already pretty much guarantee you. That those mannequins they're like cutting in half or the red bear that lays there giving you items. Sometimes those represent dead bodies, but the kid in the game can't perceive where death is. So that's what he sees destroyed toys. I just want to throw that out there
My little brother was a massive fan of horror stuff, even though he was 5! We let him watch stuff as he was terminally ill, but he genuinely enjoyed it. He had a cartoon cat plushie that he wouldn’t go anywhere without. I miss you Toby, hope you’re enjoying some awesome horror movies up there

Love that the thunder genuinely scared me
Reminds me of how scary it was a kid
Story time: I VAGUELY remember daycare. Around 18+ months at least. I don't remember the circumstance, but during nap time I SOME HOW managed to go outside in the backyard and bring the sprinkler inside. Not sure if I brought it in then turned it on or if it was all ready on. The lady that watched us was a very patient Jamaican. I was a... sneaky (?) kid. Dad was in the Navy, so we lived in naval housing since I was born until about 4 years old. In that time, I managed to dump an entire paint can on the hardwood floor and 'hide' it under a rug, wake up in the middle of the night and eat a stick and a half of butter before barfing all over the hallway, set my dad's pillow on fire, and have a hot iron fall on top of my hand (which had me in a zinc lotion/ointment wrap for a bit). To my mom's credit, she was also caring for newborn twins while dad was working. I knew not to touch dad's handgun though.... I am an ELDER millennial (Xillenial?). My folks are boomers, rub dirt on a cut kind of people. So we sorta were allowed to run amok. I got all my dumbass moments out of my system before age 5...
I don't ever recall having odd perceptions of things that scared me. Honestly, I think I gave my folks nightmares. T_T.
"How would this kid know how to use a screwdriver?"
Clearly, someone has forgotten about Rugrats.
I was screaming "Tommy Pickles!" at my screen lol
bro 25 comments in 24 seconds is actually crazy but to be fair it is IGP
The beginning of this, the arguing killed me, just bad memories bruh
As someone who had to deal with this around the same age, you never really forget. Almost 40 years later, I still remember the yelling, the crying, the abuse, and the beer cans all over. This game captures it in a chilling way. Not many tend to touch on subject like this in the way SteelKrill does, each of their games have had the same harrowing effect, but are so well done I can't really say it is a bad thing.
This and Among the Sleep are some of the coolest games because of the fact you play from a child’s perspective. You can easily make simple, unassuming things look terrifying because that’s how kids see things! We need more horror like that

Dude, an IGP video over an hour long is absolutely perfect for me right now. My parents are celebrating their wedding anniversary (they left me behind because I'm a little shit) so they'll be out for a while, leaving me home alone. Just gotta get snacks and I'm set until they get back.
congrats to your parents, complete opposite of this game lmao
Damn bro. Why are you a little shit?
@@IGP yeah, the irony is pretty crazy lol
🤓
Made it through the whole video fine and then teared up when you said you were going to hug your kids and tell them you loved them 😭😭😭
Another classic IGP video where he's yelling about how to do something within seconds of it telling him in plain text XD
I'm at 27 minutes and I'm starting to think that looks like some sort of laboratory for testing.
Also I apparently didn't like daycare one time my mum spoke about the past and I apparently hiked over the fence and started to follow them home somehow so I couldn't perceived it as a safe place
"Eat a fricken chocalate bar and shut up" That is probably the best thing you have said in this video 🤣🤣
Hello IGP! Ryan here, the solo developer of the game!
Once again I can't thank you enough for playing my game! I know I mostly say this on every of your video but I really do enjoy your content and get excited when I see you play man, it's always an honor seeing you play my game. I really really appreciate it dude and it makes my day every time.
I'll be honest and share something I never really did, things haven't been the best lately but that's a part of life. I was also rejected by bigger publisher who wanted me to make changes because they felt my games were 'too dark' and wanted to turn my game into something totally different. But I just want to create the games I’m passionate about and tell the stories I want to tell. As long as people keep enjoying them and as long as my health allows it, I will keep doing my best. I’m incredibly grateful for all of your support being able to do this, because it's the reason I can keep doing what I love and what makes me happy. So I just want to say thank you, and I appreciate you all really!
I'm sorry I put you through that in the end, I felt kind of bad now haha but I am glad you enjoyed the game! 😊
Thanks again to IGP and to everyone else - hope everyone enjoys it as well! Feel free to give me any feedback as it really helps me out! Have a wonderful day everyone 💙
Dude your game has blown up! Everyone is playing it and everyone's loving it! Stay to to yourself. Much love❤ can't wait to see what's next. I know it'll be fire!
@@monicabean5528 Thank you so much appreciate the kind words! 💙
Man, your game is actually awesome, reminds me of among the sleep, it's been years since i played and it was one of the first games i ever watched in yt, yours truly brought it back and it feels great, thank u so much for developing games like this, greetings from Uruguay
Dont ever stop!
Hey, you did amazing. As someone who's been in a similar thing, not murder, but the abuse as a child, you done well representing it. It hit hard
my heart dropped as soon as i heard the parents screaming at each other... any child who goes through that.. they don't deserve it. if you have, i give you the absolute biggest hug and all of my love. you didn't deserve that.
This definitely feels like a spiritual successor to among the sleep. If not very inspired by
I was gonna say it felt more like a rip off of it, but...
Same dev I believe!
Edit: no it’s not asdgsgsg I was just being stupid sorry
that argument reminds me of my childhood home...
The BEST time to watch scary videos is at night, by yourself in a dark room, with the closet door half way open...
I don't have a door to my closet
@@Artificer-yf6kp I dont even have closet. I just hang my clothes on a steel rod in the room
Did nobody else catch the couch just disappearing while he was looking at it?
I was still a middle schooler when I saw a few RUclipsrs played Among The Sleep. Now I’m an adult seeing this game and I feel old already.
Legit time just FLIES dude
That was the saddest thing I've ever witnessed in a video game! Well done dev! And well done to you good sir, the one and only IGP! I love your content my friend and the way you express your thoughts....😢
The most terrifying thing is being betrayed by the ones you care and love.
Especially if the betrayal is in form of something irreversible.
Just finished... and the title was NOT kidding... i can rewatch and still not be ready! That was AWESOME! Thanks for the amazing content as always IGP! Congrats on the ever-growing channel!!! ❤❤❤🎉
i grew up in a very harsh household lets say that, so this game and story really hit me hard and i have to say it its very good demonstrated i hope the dev gets the support he needs. truly amazing story writing
Anyone else get reminded of “among the sleep” from this game
I didn't get those father hugs you mentioned at the end, and i swear, i swear im crying, thank you so much for being a dad for your kids and telling them you love them, i can really tell that they will never forget those words.
Besides that, i love how you just talk with us trought all of your videos, love you igp:)
You always find some of the coolest horror games and I’m here for it. Been watching for a few years and the content has never let me down, much love IGP and keep up the good work❤
I know its an old game and IGP may have already played it in his times, still I would absolutely love to see a trip down memory lane and watch indie play condemned dude he would love it.
This honestly made me feel so sad really. No child deserves to go through something like that. But the bad thing is that it happens to too many kids. I wish I could give that baby a hug. I just finished the video now and my god this kind of horror hurts me rather than scare me tbh.
When I saw Fooster delve into this one, I knew it was a matter of time before it crossed your radar! This game is horrific in all the best ways.
Man this playthrough hit hard in so many ways. Going from feeling sad to angry to just completely heartbroken and the cycle continued. Thanks for sharing the playthrough IGP. I don't think I could ever play this game myself.
Wow that… got a lot deeper and a lot more psychological than I expected
I can tell everytime IGP pauses walking that this game is actually getting to him.
I mean, it was getting to me too, but man... Its heartbreaking to hear both the story and IGP's reaction to it.
I’m 20-30 minutes in and I’m putting in my theory, both of the parents are bad people, the Father is more physical, taking out his rage on objects, whereas the mother is more mental, physiologically harming her child by pushing horrible thoughts into her child’s mind.
The intro/tutorial is how the child pictured what happened, the father being this aggressive beast that chases him around, causing the Aiden to run away. He is then found by his mother, who, very creepily, calls out to him, attempting to kidnap Aiden it seems, before his father swoops in and grabs him.
They seem to view Aiden as a trophy, a tool to hurt eachother, not loving Aiden, only what they can do with him, not wanting the other one to have him because they love hurting them.
I also see another possibility where Aiden doesn’t understand what’s going on, and sees his father as a bully, but he is actually trying to protect his son from this despicable side of the mother that has shown itself. This one is less likely though, since it’s similar to another one of their games.
Well. I’m sorry Aiden’s mum. God, this game double subverted my expectations, at first you think it’s going to be the classic dad hurts wife, but then it completely flips itself, making you think it’s the mother who’s the villain, only to show it’s actually the Dad again.
This is the only game I’ve ever watched or played that’s made me feel ANYTHING like this. I don’t have kids, I’m not married, I don’t even have a partner, hell, my parents are still alright with eachother post divorce. But this game, it made me feel like I knew this child’s pain and trauma. With red bellies hand sticking up at the end, showing that he’ll never escape his father mentally. I’m going to go hug my cat and cry a bit whilst I watch this again now.
had a super crappy day but IGP posted so maybe it’s not too crappy. your videos always cheer me up man, can’t wait to watch this one and many more after.
keep your head up, hope you enjoy
This game REALLY reminds me of Among the Sleep if y’all remember that game (also I just saw the sub count congrats on 3 million mate)
thats the first thing that went through my head when i saw it
New IGP discoveries:
1: Funny Gamer
2: Soft spot for all childeren ( and that is great :3)
First off, I cannot believe that this game was made by a single person. That’s insane!
Second, congrats to Indy for hitting 3 million!
Finally, Jesus Crimminy Christmas this game is absolutely terrifying. Watching the tutorial section I was considering playing it for my channel but after seeing the rest of it...Uh-uh, no fuckin way.
Despite all the depressing things happening in the story what truly brought tears to my eyes was the end when you said you are going to hug your kids and tell them you love them. It really hit hard and I have nothing but respect for you IGP. I wish you and your family nothing but the absolute best from the bottom of heart. Have an amazing night and I'll see you in your next video.
As someone with not the greatest childhood, this game is super uncomfortable and unsettling. Which is praise for Steelkrill to some degree; the variance in setting/themes per game is so different and grounded in itself. Honestly pretty peak. A piece of art is only "great" if it evokes some kind of response from you...
I’ve been watching you for years and have enjoyed every second of watching you explore and experience every genre of games. Laughs, scares, edge of your seat suspense but this game truly opened up a whole new range of emotions. The empathy in your voice for Aidan, “I’m going to go hug my kids” comment. Thank you for continuing to play these games and giving us, your audience, a truly unforgettable experience.
As for the developer, please continue to make whatever your heart desires no matter what other “larger” companies say. This was incredible. That darkness they said you should steer away from is what had me truly invested in this game.
Reminded me immediately of Among the Sleep. The twist in that game was amazing.
As someone named Aiden, this video had me straight up having another type of reaction. I genuinely felt immersed in the story and it was just....great, absolutely fantastic. Great video as always IGP.
Just finished watching…. And I can’t stop sobbing. My daughter is a teenager now, but she will never be too big for me to scoop her up and hold her in my arms. “I love you forever, I like you for always. As long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be….” ❤
I was hoping you were going to play this. Among the Sleep is one of my favorites and this one looked like it was along the same vein.
While the premise of playing as a toddler is similar to Among the Sleep, this story is MUCH darker. I agree, though, I'm like 90% sure this is related to Stairway 7. Such heavy subjects in these indie games, man. I'm a parent of 3 and this whole story HURTS.
Bro says its a horror game like no other hes played for EVERY horror game he plays, and yet, hes right.
Oh my god the parents arguing in the beginning was so realistic scary.
hearing the argument, and the visuals and sound drop really brought back some ptsd haha. I have trauma from my dad, my whole family does, and seeing your parent as a monster is really what it feels like. Im older now, 20. seeing these games are definitely an experience again
I find these interesting when people include parent fighting, it touches into many peoples hearts and minds. laying out what some people went through, and as that someone, its fairly well done. the calling out, distorted feelings, props to the dev. I like the many things you point out, like the distortion in the mothers voice.
I know not many people would wanna read someone else's trauma, but these kinds of games really hit home, and they are done really well. and as usual, played well by our one and only IGP.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk, I hope the people who watch this video heal from their trauma, and know they are loved
This game is great and I loved watching you play it, the game has some minor bugs but that’s to be expected and I can’t hate on it because it hits home so hard
im only half way through, but notice how most of the daycare doors have no handles, only locks
My brothers in horror games, why am I watching this at night!?
I asked myself the same damn question
I think that’s adorable. The fact how IGP was like “Awe!!Baby don’t worry baby” or something similar. But I like that cause it’s like how he treats his kids when they are crying. And sorry for the long rant. But just really like that father hood. Even though I don’t have kids myself.
So eerie! The sound effects and the interactions brings out the games creepiness and helps us to really feel the toddler's experience. Way to go Steelkrill!
My parents fought so frequently when I was a little child that I still have ptsd to this day... I understand what the main character of this game is dealing with... parents who fight genuinely suck...
I watched Skilly's playthrough, and he noted something that, when he said it, i thought it didnt make much sense, but he noted the (possibility at the very least, but it does make a lot of sense) Kid is actually autistic. His playthrough is... Typical Skilly lol but i enjoy hearing him share his thoughts hahahaha
I thought that too towards the end, but I think the game was going for the trauma causing him to retreat to comfort items like the dolls and the show. Hard to separate reality from fiction when you are lost in the fiction trying to escape the hell that is your home and the monsters in it.
Not to spoil anything for the other viewers, but the ending really ties it all together that the parents were not aware of the damage they were doing to the child with their toxic relationship with each other.
@@IGP Yeah, i agree. Except that at the start, as the mother is telling the bedtime story, she does say "he was a kid different from the others", which is something i was also told in my childhood (i'm autistic and the b#### i got by being autistic lol) anyways, sorry for that, and the fact that Aiden specifically picks ugly dolls, or the least nice looking ones, because, as his mother says it, "he doesn't like leaving them alone". But your thought process makes so very much sense too. The constant arguments and yelling could have made Aiden attempt to hide in his own world (btw, Autism, in ancient Greek, means, "in one's world") by evading other kids (the yelling) and the nice looking dolls (not being left aside, the whole "fake nice smile" and stuff). Also, thanks for reading my comment, IGP (was gonna call you Indie but That's your choice). I always love a good chat about a great game/movie. Peace!
I keep hearing people say they can't imagine what it's like living in a situation like this, and they rightfully should. That truth alone is what makes the PTSD the hardest to deal with. My parents were far worse than this. Dad beat us all once or twice a month. He was a drunk and liked ruling the house as a tyrant using fear and violence to control us. But I've never heard him say things like he wishes we were never born. Mom beat us once or twice a week. She was frustrated at being married to dad and took it out on me and my brother. She loved saying things like "Why did you have to be born" and "Just die already, you're worthless" while she did it and made multiple suicide attempts via OD throughout my time in that house. Which is worse?
They also never bothered assimilating so it sure was a pleasure as the first generation to be born in the states figuring out America and taking care of my brother while they did this up until high school. I took weight training, grew bigger than them and fought back. That's what it took them to stop. It wasn't the cops that I called who came, called me a liar, then left me there in that house with them. It wasn't any of the school staff who could clearly see the bruises but just couldn't be bothered to get involved. I had to become physically stronger than my own parents for the purpose of fighting them back.
Now, as an adult, the hypervigilance and tying success to never becoming like my parents again, I've done pretty well for myself in life. Except for the fact that I suffer from Complex PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder and who knows what else since the VA took years to change my diagnosis from Unspecified Depressive Disorder to the other 2 and I didn't even know what healthcare was until I enlisted at 27 to escape that hellhole (funny that I was able to become a flight paramedic, but hypervigilance has it's merits).
I live with thoughts of death, suicide and homicide as almost just passing thoughts throughout the day. I'm a worst case scenario thinker and play it all vividly in my head because I can never switch off my survival mode thinking. Sometimes I don't even know why I'm so on edge. The flashbacks are persistent and can be utterly debilitating. The fatigue that comes with hypervigilance feels crippling at times. I was a severe alcoholic during my army days and for a while after. After quitting drinking last year, my PTSD decided to rear it's ugly head and has pretty much ruined my life now.
I cut contact with my parents for good last year. Kind of easy to do since all they do now is try to play mind games with me to give them money. I helped mom out a little bit after I forced dad out and became "head of the family" so to speak but that's another story which funnily enough involves me blowing up on her for using that line, "We stayed together for you kids". Had a random flashback a couple months ago and all the "mental health" work I thought I had done till now pretty much went out the window. The hopelessness that comes with knowing that at any second of any day, I can have a random flashback and I become a complete wreck is quite unreal. Add onto that the fact that quite a lot of things trigger me now and there is no in-between. When I get triggered now, I'm just at 100. So now I feel the need to isolate myself from others. "Trust issues" doesn't even begin to describe the dread and fear of abandonment. Your videos have filled a void for me that other people will never understand. Thanks IGP.
I get so excited when I see an IGP video that’s over an hour long
Can we talk about how strong the baby is?

God I love the way you play horror games like these, not playing for the action but for the story. The way you immerse yourself into the characters and environments is super engaging, and the theories you craft on the fly are super interesting to listen to on top of super entertaining gameplay. I love how much you explore environments as well instead of just flying through them like most other letsplayers, and not just in this game but all of the games you play. You're probably one of if not my favorite youtuber on the platform and i hope you keep making content like this forever

Its nothing against you man, i love your vids but i cant watch this one. The moment the toddler said "mommy....daddy" i had to bail.
Things like this really mess with me especially since I am a father to 2 toddlers right now.
The thought of innocent babies having to go through stuff like this breaks me.
No worries, I respect it. That moment broke me, too. Set me up for the rest of the game feeling so lost mentally. The ending made me legit cry and I can't remember the last time a game did that to me.
@@IGP thanks for understanding and i feel ya brother. See you in the next one!
I don't usually watch your videos immediately when they come out, not because the videos are bad, but because they need to be savored. Each video is something special, so I like to draw it out to enjoy them. Usually saving them for when I'm laying in bed at three A.M. and unable to sleep. I cannot say the amount of times I have gone back and rewatched videos, especially the multiplayer horror games.
He wakes up at 2:06
Whatched IGP for so long that I know any game with kids getting hurt in any way would hurt him like 5 trucks because he is a father of 2+ kids (don't know how many he has exactly, and it's not my right to know, he mentioned them sometimes in the past and even in this video when he spoke of some doll type, but that is his own choice and his own life so I will respect it and only say: I hope the entire family is happy and living in peace.)
Part of me feels like the creator of these games is making horror games from his own past. Dealing with his own mental anguish. Trauma from childhood can destroy you forever. Some kids get over it but others.... they cant handle it and end up ending their own lives. My trauma has messed me up but im still here because i want to help others. I hope the creator of these games has a wonderful life and keeps making such wonderful masterpieces
The ending made me cry. After 16 years spend with a mentally ill mother and 13years with alcoholic father. Between the two, my father got better and my mother didn't. I've been taken care of by child protection services and I now work towards youth work. These types of things I hear everyday from the kids coming in from Foster care families, it moves me to my core. Amazing game tho! I couldn't help but feel my throat tighten at the sight of the monster
this game definitely had inspiration from Among the Sleep, and I'm loving it
"Your parents relationships are not a reflection of you, but they end up taking it out on you anyway" 39:36

If your mother is the Babadook, then that would have to make you the Babydook.
Watched this with my husband, we both didn’t have the best childhoods and were vowing to do it differently for our two kids. One of which I gave birth to last week. We both felt like shit at the end, just hit a little too close to home for the two of us.
