This is easily the most cozy playthrough they’ve ever done lol Can’t wait for the Complete Series so I have more things to watch at 3 am and I’m high as fuck
11:15 Zach will never see this but if anyone else was curious a sounding rod was a tool with marks along it like a thermometer that would be used to measure the depth of water on a ship
i like how they're giving us continuity from previous episodes. fat guy screaming "canonball" appears at the end. really pulls the entire thing together
Tomar and chris have such a bizzare lack of spatial awareness and/or visual memory, the amount of times they complain about how long it's taking while walking in circles is honestly the best part of this gameplay
He slid down a big slide that actually went back into his nose like a klein bottle and he ended up locked inside of his own head like in Being John Malkovich
14:32 "That's evil, just like our politicians and the b-, p-people in charge right now." Zach totally almost accidentally said "bankers" but caught himself at the last second.
i thought he was gonna say it looked like that one room in dark souls. at the very first part of the same that random square room with 5 inches of water in the floor
I remember one time I was in a Sauna in Southern France, and in walked Tomar. I knew it was him by the dark energy around him and didn’t dare look at him. I avoided any and all contact. He just sat in the corner, breathing heavily while whispering “I hope you sleep well tonight, friend.” Once every 60 seconds. I didn’t see him leave but he wasn’t there when I left.
how could they walk past the same bright white window pasted all over the map that never has anything to see and not pay attention to those ones, are they stupid?
4:43 i love how you can clearly hear how badly chris’ autism brain wants to say “this looks like dark souls” before they interrupt him and he forgets instantly
I love this series "i want a game with infinite rooms" Literally the next episode "i hate that i keep walking into the same infinite room with no way out"
The thing is I would imagine this type of game is more of a chill experience to be enjoyed on your own with headphones on, walking around taking in the atmosphere, if you like that kind of vibe. It's not supposed to be a typical game where you're waiting for some action to happen. I don't think it's even meant to be a horror or scary at all lol.
You're correct. It says all over the store page that there's no monsters and no gameplay. It's just an atmospheric art piece walking sim. It still has the horror tag because it's vaguely unnerving, but it's extremely open about the fact that nothing happens. Kids are just mad because they think horror has to be mascot jumpscare game-theory bait.
@@Sharkofspace but if you know that nothing is going to happen it takes away any horror from it. Unless you're have a phobia of some sort. They probably should remove the horror tag because it's misleading
@@nekomoves1714 No, there aren't. I've seen what you're talking about, and that's from a different game. I think it's a backrooms game that just happens to have a pool section that looks just like this because it's an extremely common aesthetic for liminal stuff. Lots of other people made the same mistake. Pools (This game) does not have monsters or scares.
@@f1shze4lot The game's tags are "Walking simulator" and "Psychological horror" in that order. The first sentence of the description is, and I quote: "Walking simulator." The about this game section clearly says: "One could say POOLS is like an art gallery where you look around and listen to the sounds. There are very few things to solve, practically a few mazes. Sometimes the game can challenge your navigation skills. But mostly you're just... there. Note: There are no monsters chasing you or jumping suddenly towards you, but the game can feel oppressive. POOLS plays on fears of getting lost, the dark, and tight spaces." There is no deception here.
i think this game would be improved hundredfold if any time you took a step there was a 1 in 10 chance to slip and fall and crack your skull open on the slippery tiles
The editor must have opened the game, replaced the image files, imitated their movements and recorded it. You can see there’s a cut after they leave the room which could just be a dead air cut but my theory is that’s the transition from editor gameplay to oneyplays gameplay. It’s really clever if that’s the case.
This is the perfect game to play after popping an edible and chilling in the living room by yourself, this is literally the opposite of the kind of game you play with your friends who jibber gibbons.
i genuinely do like this game, i do like the liminal aesthetic and i do like that the main appeal is just a strange environment. more stuff should just be that. it’s JUST shooting for tone and i like that about it.
I love how much mileage they got out of this game. Nothing like this group making hours of content when the game doesn't really even matter. These are videos we should treasure.
There is something perfect about the H-man having those pics of him smiling next to his pet dogs, they are some of the most bizarre images of all time. Imagine those are the first pics a person ever saw of him, they would just assume its a cute pic from wartime. Shows the power of a cute doge pice
Oneyplays has always had some very interesting conversations in these kinds of walking sim games even with every new Zach seedling having to be put down at the end of each episode.
Idk why people hate this let's play its got some great commentary, like isnt that the whole point of them making these vids??? The gameplay comes second guy, thats how its always been and always will be
This game would be a good game if you had a skateboard and also the ending was “so what kind of pool do you want to buy” and main character man said “I’ll have to ask my wife”
It's great when they play a game which doesn't need much effort, because it leads to the funniest conversations

erm if you look in the game's code it's akshually 1 in 982,761. i suggest watching some more video essays before making such claims....
@@samepicgameri think I learned that from a pondering lama video
Tomar's most underrated voice-acting role
time stamp?
you joke but the game actually has a randomly spawning duck in a tophat.
The amount of massive cuts feels like there were some absolute war crimes being said
dude at the 3 minute mark there's a cut mid sentence when he's talking about barney like did they just scream slurs for 10 minutes or what
We need the uncensored cuts ASAP!!!
Well I mean Chris has screamed the n word in a sleepy cabin episode 🥸
Tomar doesn't hold back
Ever since they started this game I have been pissing the bed slightly more than usual.
good
curious isn't it
My desmopressin acetate isn't working like it should. I piss big watching Pools.
proof
Save some for me
1:40 I’m so proud of Zach for not immediately bursting into his “no talent” guy impression here, real character development
his name is TRUMPET GUY! oneyplayers, get him
Haven't heard a "hey fat" in a while too hes really making progress
15:36 And here too
you're nothing!
More like character degradation. Have you, or literally any else ever once in your life heard someone say: “I liked Zach more before Trumpet Guy”?
If this series ends without making Nial cry I will be SUPER angry!
*without making Nial cum
Tomar still ignoring hitler or nazi convo after Chris told him he was bringing the mood down last year is hilarious
Nial needs to be punished
I thought he was "Nile" like that place in Sahara or whatever
@ another swing and a miss from Nials parents, truly breathtaking how even his name is wrong!
It’s so funny how them playing this nothing game upsets people.
Background listeners for the win.
I disagree. You would think nothingburger games on the OneyPlays would be like the SleepyCabin but it just combines the worst of both worlds instead.
?
This has been my favorite so far bc of that. The convos go bat shit because the game is so boring lmao
I wouldn't mind if it wasn't Boneyplays. Its the one time of the year where they can make Chris play horror games!
@@GU-jt5fe you're telling me you don't enjoy hearing about fat guys doing cannonballs?
The commentary is so good i keep forgetting this game is just nothing but someone walking thru halls and being kinda wet

RIP Zach. He died from sliding down a too large slide that lead to a 500 foot drop
If only we knew 500 ft drops were deadly :(
Zach used to have pretty forgiving fall damage he until they nerfed him in the later episodes of oneyplays. ☹️
He slid down a big slide that actually went back into his nose like a klein bottle and he ended up locked inside of his own head like in Being John Malkovich
@@gonzoGnostalgicI can see a whole animation for it already

Didn't want to say it because Tomar was present
He couldve said bureaucrats but you KNOW it wasnt gonna be
the bews
He almost got Smiling Friends canceled there lmao
or he just stuttered lol
It’s almost here I can feel it in my bones ECSTATICA is around the corner I just know it
We can only hope.
Thinking about it is making me ecstatic!
A
Oh my God i hope so
I was just thinking that
Tomar turned his emotions on so well in this series that it almost convinced me he isn't an orphanage-bombing heartless psycho.
The human souls inside him are slowly taking over
@@SmartCreeper thank god you reminded me of the soulstorm. I would've been tricked by his smooth talking otherwise
So many underrated jokes in this one. The Alfred impression made me laugh until my sides hurt
So glad they perfected the AI Zach model. Really makes it feel like he’s still with us
He looks like the model from the Nextbots video
oh you mean like he's a robot?
I feel like Zach Hadel is the last human on the planet that ai will be able to replicate
4:43 Chris recognizes this room from the Black Baby playthrough
i thought he was gonna say it looked like that one room in dark souls. at the very first part of the same that random square room with 5 inches of water in the floor
Glad we’re still playing the game where you wander around

Fr they're just HATE watching at this point. I've only heard negatives about this season of oneyplays
honestly love this series thnk you guys for making it
I was like "Wow! Chris knows a song that isn't a video game song" then I realized War Pigs is in the Guitar Hero series.
Im such a loser this is what i look forward to in my day
Ayy, me too!
I really look forward to them too
I’m killing myself thanks guys
I have to say this series has produced some banger bits 😂 definitely going to be in a lot of compilations in a few months
The only people on this website that will openly talk about sounding with genie. We need the truth out there.

There was a room in there that reminded me a lot of Black Baby
This game is just forcing them to podcast and it's oddly refreshing
I love this series "i want a game with infinite rooms"
Literally the next episode "i hate that i keep walking into the same infinite room with no way out"
They contain multitudes, just like what Mr. Whitman said.

I swear every single vid that includes Niall ever since he came back has him being bullied 😭 lool
Yeah what’s the deal with that? I felt bad for the little gremlin
I can't wait to see a ten paragraph spiel about it on Reddit
I look forward to the five different Best of Bullying Niall videos
Thats the usual niall murray experience
Some things never change
13:10 sheep in the big laminal compound
What were they thiiiiiinking?!?!
Chris treats niall like he’s his little brother & their mum forced him to take him to America with him & take care of him & he resents him for it
Audibly cackled at 11:09 when chris described learning about sounding by nature of seeing a DS stylus.
For a brief couple of seconds before the video ended, I sat in shock as I fully believed Zach’s pitch about the fat guy yelling cannonball was real
15:23 Wow they do record these pretty far in advance.
My immediate thought too. Like Holy shit. The chris chan footage had JUST dropped??
i think this game would be improved hundredfold if any time you took a step there was a 1 in 10 chance to slip and fall and crack your skull open on the slippery tiles
I'm just waiting for Niall to fall over again during a recording.
This game is just nothing man but the chat is fantastic. My belly started hurting from laughing at the Alfred bit so hard
Dudes wtf the poison ivy scene sticks with me to this day.. that is crazy.
More like Uma Sperman
It's funny to see people complain about what you upload when I'm over here just enjoying sleepy cabin extended edition ❤
I think Oney is making us sit through this as a way around the “Scary game” thing
We're not worthy of this much content. Thank you oneyng
Chris uses “BRUH” like echo location
Verily, it doth shaketh me jacobs.

They really need to stop bullying Nial, at this point its only a matter of time before he begins his day of retribution

Oneyplays has always had some very interesting conversations in these kinds of walking sim games even with every new Zach seedling having to be put down at the end of each episode.
My awakening was when a fourth episode of pools glt uploaded, it had me ACHING the whole week afterwards!
Thanks for the free sleepycast episode!
What's really spooky is I literally just finished binging the Joel Schumacher Batman's a few hours ago. GET OUTTA ME HEAAD MAN!!!
11:08 Chris... you just made me remember somthing I pushed away from my mind...
Gotta admit, I still wasn't expecting Black Sabbath singing even after Ozzy being in last year's BoneyPlays
Oney always kills it with Boneyplays
A great oney video to sound to.
The “yes dear” made me think of “gunna do it shaggy”

This game would be a good game if you had a skateboard and also the ending was “so what kind of pool do you want to buy” and main character man said “I’ll have to ask my wife”
Zachs brain comming up with horrifying thoughts and scenarios make up for the lack of actually scary games they've had this season.
love this series
Oney Plays singing War Pigs is the greatest thing ever
yall should play 'condemned'. yall talking about the spooky subway made me realize that
That cannonball scared the shit out of me
I'm glad POOLS wasn't a one-off
Zach is asking about the meat hooks so he knows how to counter any potential escapes from his horror movie warehouse
