My favorite theme in Yames' Games is how at peace or accepting the characters usually are about their circumstances. Most horror games are about running away from monsters, Yames makes you approach them yourself.
When faced with no alternative, it is natural to accept ones fate. When I was a teenager I was nearly killed when a car crash at an intersection leapt over the curb into the sidewalk I was riding a bike on (the wreck stopped around 5 feet away). I distinctly remember accepting I was going to die at that moment.
@@theussmirageJesus I’m so sorry that happened to you that must have really affected you, I’m glad that you’re still alive to this day and I hope you’re doing well
Honestly? A lot of the most horrific situations, the ones that really make your skin crawl as a spectator, aren’t the ones that happen once out of nowhere. Horror without suspense is comedy without setup. A dead body is not horrifying alone, and “to get to the other side” is not a joke. Even phobias are composed of far more dread than real danger. Which scares you more in the abstract, a car crash, or dementia? An open wound, or cancer? Zombies, or nuclear war? Murder, or abuse? Nobody asks to live in fear of those things, but the most abundantly obvious way to cope with them is acceptance of circumstances, to mixed results.
Water Womb World looks really cool, very lovecraftian (I know that gets thrown around a lot with any water based horror but I think this more applies to religious themes that it being cthuluish or whatever) Perhaps the knowledge Adam gained was his own individual thoughts, his own personality or soul if you want to call it that. It seems like those closer to the 'god' creature became part of a hive mind and pretty much unthinking hollow organisms or even appendages of the god. People say the eyes are the window to the soul, so maybe the lack of eyes is a reflection of this, like that part of them has been taken away. They lost their humanity and returned to god. Even the angels showed life in their eyes in the little bit of animation we see and their more personal language, like they are more protectors of humanity creating a shield between them and this 'god' entity rather than being servants of it directly. A weird sort of middle ground, connected but apart. Guardian angels. A lot of interesting ideas either way, great video, thank you for making us all aware of this game creator and his unique projects.
What if God isn't evil like you're implying, and Adam & Eve's children simply separated from Him at some point by the renegade angel, that bestowed early Man with the ability to see? In this context the Fruit of Knowledge would be light, explaining the lack of eyes. It would also imply that Satan exists in Yames' Mythos and probably leads the church to hide God from humanity. Anyways, what if the idea of individuality being superior to wholeness is the Serpant's corruption seeping through you? The cause of loneliness and despair, which was later combated via the psychic fungi in the previous game, proving that humans still seek that connection that people of Eden enjoyed. Even then the artificial hive-mind of the fungus was said to simply meld the mind of the host with other's, so they aren't "unthinking hollow organisms" like you say, but only having hard time communing with regular humans due to "distorted perception of time." Like from the "I have no mouth, and I must scream" ending, where the mutated human slug had to take weeks or months to formulate a though, but the hive-mind having none of the horrific torture that state may induce, as you're with other people. Within the hive-mind, you could also play the best DnD game known to Man :3
RUclips glitched and lost my comment, and I don't wanna rewrite it all -_- Short version, notes: in the Lovecrath/Cthulhu mythos, life on earth was spawned as genetic castoffs of shoggoths, which were basically engineered biomechanical slaves of the Elder Things-- aliens, but not gods. That Red Eye thing may be Ubbo-Sathla (if not directly, then in theme). In Gnosticsm and Sethianism, the true, unknown, non-anthropomoprhic God made aeons to facilitate the spiritual realm, but one, Sophia, acted independently and tried to make it's own aeon, Yaldaboth, without the other's approval, and hid it in a cloud. Yaldaboth, awakening alone, thinks it's the only thing in existence, escapes, stealing some of the true Divine Power in the process, and goes on to make the material realm; first by creating light, then separating night into day, then making the sky... anywho, it demands it's creations worhsip it as the one true, and _only_ god, and _theeeeeeeeeeeen_ starts going by the name "Yaweh." An allmighty idiot, like Giygas. That the red coral is designed after that one that looks like a brain, an is called "the womb of god" in-game: it's speculated that Davinci was possibly an atheist, or at least it's well known that he was (rightly so) critical of the church, and perhaps so of the creation myth it spouted (he put a self-protrait up in the Sistine Chapel: a cherub doing Yea Olde Italian version of the "fuck you" gesture is directed at where the Pope would sit-- of which, he specifically painted the mouth of Hell itself *right* behind the throne).

I got the sense that the angel’s more “animated” face was sort of an autonomous, unthinking sort of thing. As if the singular god were using a slightly more well-crafted puppet to communicate with the strange little monkeys it made - the way I see it, it’s not a hive-mind, but instead a single entity that absorbs more life forms into its own body to act as its various appendages. Maybe a lure, even. Like an anglerfish. Maybe it’s specifically the “womb” part of all this, but I get the impression that the god is, itself, an enormous organism with the various fish and angels being its bloodstream, its immune system, its microbiome. And to become part of that microbiome is to surrender individuality, forfeiting even your most basic instincts to work with the millions of other cells that do the exact same job, be it carrying oxygen throughout the body, breaking down food to digest it for energy, or defending the body from foreign entities. Idk, just my take on it. Maybe I am reaching but the name feels awfully telling. A womb is just one part of an entire body, and it feels like an interesting parallel to the hive-mind themes in Discover My Body.
I really hope Yames finishes discover our bodies. As small as it was, the first game was amazing and disturbed me in a way I hadn’t felt since the original dead space
@@julife.ka.3899 I think it’s because they are in the same transcendental cosmic horror genre. I love both version of annihilation, but they ultimately have different premises. The movie focuses on self destruction & assimilation, while the book is more like terraformation & elimination.
@@julife.ka.3899 You NEED to read the books!! They're SO much better than the movie! I blazed through the first book in a day because of how intriguing and delightfully upsetting it was. It's perfect.
The biopunk-esque idea of humans completely rejecting their current form and merging into a fungal hivemind was always extremely interesting to me, but there's almost nothing to play/watch/read about this. Would really love to see more works of fiction that explore this topic... or just more body horror fiction in general.
Story about fungus taking over our bodies: Max Lobdell’s Runners saga. It’s online, it’s free, and it’s disturbing as hell. Story about all of humanity merging into a single hive mind: Not to spoil End of Evangelion for you, but uh … yeah. That’s literally how it ends. Enjoy I guess?
it's vaguely reminiscent and probably inspired by the idea of the Jungian collective unconscious or Spinozist monism with hints of Kant's transcendental idealism regarding time as an intuition rather than objectively existing noumena. Although the game doesn't really use panpsychism in the best way. The idea with panpsychism is that everything that exists is at its most rudimentary some kind of experiencing entity, so experience is just a fundamental characteristic of everything, rather than something which somehow emerges at one point in evolution (i.e the hard problem of consciousness as an immaterial yet existent thing.) That doesn't mean that beyond the human self there is some kind of complete unity or 'hivemind' of everything, quite to the contrary one of the main problems regarding panpsychist philosophy is the 'combination problem,' which asks how it is that countless discrete, experiencing things like atoms are capable of somehow uniting their experience in order to produce that singular, unified experience of consciousness we experience humans. But we also have to be aware that our unified experience isn't the same thing as being aware or connected to every single atom or most rudimentary unit of experience contained in our bodies. Rather, human consciousness emerges from the unity of our parts as an entirely *new* entity altogether. In this sense, human consciousness itself is a hivemind. Of course, we can only be 'conscious' and 'experience' because we are finite things, therefore our unified 'atom-experiences' has an external world and environment from which we are conscious-of and react to. This is a fundamental precondition for a kind of consciousness of any sort, so the idea that there is some infinite hivemind doesn't really hold up too well as far as I take it
The part about shedding your hands to "evolve" made me irrationally annoyed. Like, buddy, growing those things shot us up to the top of the food chain. Dont you DARE call them useless.
@@ClockworkGearhead they can also be used for agriculture or constructing shelter, something that could aid all lifeforms, but we are the species who obtained them.
@@ClockworkGearheadMust be nice to be so fast that you can ignore the obvious irony. Do you wanna continue this "pointless accusational bickering" or do you wanna comment something productive?
did you know? the zombie ant fungus actually doesn't have any psychoactive effects to the ants. the ants are fully awake while it happens 31:50 THROW NET
Yeah, the fungus doesn’t reach the brain at all, the body’s movements are the fungus using the ants body like a puppet, rather than messing with its train
I have a habit of rewatching RUclips videos I like over and over because the familiarity brings me comfort and this is no joke my new favorite video. Amazing work, dude!
Wow, I thought i was the only person that did this, lol. Its Like I get in this habit of watching the same few movies or a specific few videos before bed, like you said, cause it's comforting or something, idk.. lol, 1st time I've ever heard another say they did this too
Water Womb World is my favorite game by Yames, and I’m so glad you touched on it! It’s very esoteric in a way that scratches my brain very well. In many ways, in evolution, the ocean _is_ the womb, as the very first organisms that everything else evolved from were aquatic. _Everything_ came from the sea. Our ancestors crawled from it, gasping and lonely, onto the shore. Therefore the idea that Adam and Eve weren’t the humans we presume them to be, and that the image of God isn’t actually Homo sapiens seems to click right into place. The idea that the Fall corrupted our very beings and twisted us into an alternate form, and we have now become alien to our Creator and the Creator is alien to us. Even the ocean that was our home, our birthplace, we cannot tread. Deliciously esoteric. As someone who grew up Christian, it’s such a cool concept to ponder.
Yeah, this game is such good worldbuilding. Eden being the deep ocean is just such a obvious explanation of why we can't go back, I loved it. Yet it's still plenty mystical even with the de-mystification explanation.
The unsettling part of Yames' works is that they don't have a definite antagonist. Bodies, minds, souls, flesh...they just transition and mutate pushed by "forces", which are as helpful or dangerous as one makes them. It really sells the concept of inevitable change that you can either go along with, or uselessly resist.
The concept of losing your individuality and consciousness/self awareness is terrifying to me. Hive minds are, for lack of a better word: Inhuman. Kudos to the game developer for exploring these concepts and giving me the heebie jeebies-
Social media is speeding humans into that direction evolution-wise. Humans already have the instinct to only think how the group their in thinks to be allowed in and survive in numbers.
A hivemind itself isn't scary so long as you've always been in one. Going from an individual to a hivemind, or even one of a hivemind become individual, is immensely terrifying.
The first game reminded me of a real event where a scientist was going to be beheaded by guillotine and told his assistant to count the amount of times he blinked afterwards. Like its morbid but theres some questions you won't get answers for unless the person themselves tell you how they feel.
So I realized something about Water Womb World: Most of the time when a character is of a Christian denomination they'll just say he's Christian, but this time the protagonist specifically mentions he's Catholic. I think this might have been purposeful because of how Catholics understand Heaven compared to other Christian sects. Most people think Heaven is "We're standing here and God is over there, but we're in the same place" but Catholics view Heaven as being (hopefully I'm wording this right) "caught up" in the very essence of God due to how God wishes to "unite Himself" with His children. The ending shows the red "people" being physically connected to "God", and I think it's meant to mirror that Catholic understanding of Heaven. If not, then it's one hell of a coincidence. Edit: I realized something else. Catholics have a ritual during Mass (Catholic church service) called "Holy Communion" (or Holy Eucharist). What happens is the priest takes and blesses bread wafers (specially made for the Communion ritual) and a chalice of wine and through this blessing the bread and wine go through transubstantiation - the conversion of the substance of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ at consecration with only the appearances of bread and wine still remaining. This is done not only in remembrance of the Last supper (where Jesus said "Do this in memory of me") but also because of John 6:54-57. "Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him." When the protagonist studies the red coral, it says it has "neurons" and even says "womb of God". It's practically flesh. The protagonist eats it and slowly turns into one of the red humanoid creatures, and it's revealed God himself is made up of this red coral. He was eating the flesh of "God" and was transformed - abiding in "God" just as "God" was now abiding in him resulting in life everlasting. Yeah forget what I said in my original comment. There's no way in hell (or heaven?) all this is coincidence. XD Either way the creator did an awesome job making the game and I kinda wish it were longer.
As soon as I saw the thumbnail I immediately knew you were going to talk about yames. His art is incredibly eye catching and recognizable and his games have left a lasting impression on me. I love horror, and the games they have made especially so, the concepts they use in their games are absolutely horrific, I Love it.
I will always hear the discover my body narration in Markiplier’s voice, complete with his horror and disgust as he reads each line, lmao. “Ah, you’ve discovered mY ROTTING BONES?!?!?!”
I don't know this for certain but it seems very likely that paras is a fungal infected crustel. I say this because of their typings and similar looks and they have nearly identical descriptions of their habits until it gets to the paracect evolution that is where the fungus has completely taken over. The last reason for my thoughts is that the type of bugs that have a life cycle as crustel and paras have a tendency to be infected with fungus fairly often and don't die for quite some time after they have been infected.
@amberrost2665 That fungus affects a huge number of insects, arachnids, and arthropods. Different species for each combination for the most part but there are just as many types of fungus that will take over arthropods in general as there are arthropods. The specific ones that are being referenced I don't know if anyone will ever know for certain though the animals being affected are the Secada, and another type of insect though not the one that affects ants specifically. Basically the way it works in the Secada and the other animal I'm thinking about the animal stays fully functional until right before it takes over then for a while they are still functional though they act like a female instead of a male or a male instead of a female or a mix between the two which makes the fungus spread out faster and further than it would otherwise. Then right before the death of the animals it climbs to the highest place it can find and releases a massive spore cloud typically very close to where it emerged from the ground and that results in the next generation getting blasted too sometimes. The other primary animal is the grasshopper or a special type of land crab. Yes there are land crabs about twenty species if I remember correctly and they range from the size of your pinkey fingernail to about the size of a basketball, most of species could fit into your hand with room leftover at the same time. Did you know that beedrill is based on the Japanese giant hornets and not a bee. The Combee line and cuitefly lines are actually based on the honey bee.
It's been a while since I couldn't get a game out of my head as much as it happens with Yames' games. There's no jumpscares, no threats, in Discover My Body you just have a friendly chat with another person, but it's terrifying.
The atmospheric and somewhat nostalgic gameplay made me feel unnerved but also at home? It’s so alien yet also reminiscent of something I’d see in an old off brand video game. It’s very interesting.
FYI as a point of criticism, which I levy against you purely so you can improve because this was a fantastic video: if your commentary between game clips doesn’t do anything except re-state what the lore of the game just said, also in your voice, then the commentary doesn’t add much value. There was a few points in the video where you completely restated what the game just said.
I played these games a few years ago and I didn't assimilate seeing a documentary type video of some of them, I really thought it was another story when I read the title. I love the atmosphere, the style and the story you handled. I can really tell you took the time to research and make it more interesting than it already is. I've been watching your videos from my TV and I love the way you edit and write, I hope you get the recognition you deserve soon. You give a lot of quality content and with that you really deserve a great audience, I wish you the best of luck.
When stuff like Neuralink gets a public release, and becomes cheaper as technology advances, you'll see people living most of their days laying on their bed, with the chip on their brain feeding them constant stimulus through entertainment, as their mind and muscles decay. It's as close as funguses as we'll get.
Very interesting channel that i've found recently. Despite the obvious ─ and, at times, heavy ─ Nexpo influences on your work, i still find your research and areas of knowledge very original, and that keeps me going and amused. You seem to be young enough to still be finding your own path as a content creator, and you will definitely find yourself, but know that what you are creating right now already has value. Congratulations on your work.
Thank you, As a smaller creator I feel as if I have to constantly reinvent, and evolve what I do to grow, and find myself. Something that I think I'll always be doing. I'm inspired by many creators I watch, and a lot of that comes out in my videos.
i am SO glad you made this video because i am literally obsessed with yames' work!!! the art style and world-building is always so incredible, i love the real scary stuff when it comes to games >:] yames' games are the type of thing you'll be thinking about for a while, and i think that's the kind of effect any creative venture should have, whether it be artwork or a novel or a video game like these!
I think it's the popular opinion that indie horror is where it's at now. My LetsPlayers rarely touch AAA horror anymore, & when they do, it never goes past 3 streams before they get bored & either go to STEAM or a Haunted PS1 Demo Disc. Creepypasta ARGs are seeing a big resurgence.
Discover My Body's final words "I AM SO HAPPY" sounds a lot like Giygas' final words after you beat him. Starting to think that Giygas helped inspire some of Yames' psychological horror ideas.
The intro was incredibly well executed, i loved how for every game that showed up there was a quick but sort of "powerful" description being given, especially with the alternate watch game combined with you saying "Surreal and unsettling alterations... Of the familiar."
@@francescononefrancese617Have you heard of Junji Ito? He makes terrifying horror manga but irl he’s just a sweet happy dude who likes taking care of cats.

Very much enjoying the content, the video was perfectly paced and exactly what I've been looking for. I'm looking forward to more of your content in the future
This is right at home with an idea I've had for a video game, but I don't have the heart for it. Basically, you play as this teenager in a world that's highly technologically evolved to the point that humanity has merged with AI and humanity is enhanced to the point they can be hacked into and terminated, if someone wanted to do so. In this game, you are a teenager who has a computer virus uploaded into them by this mysterious rogue human hacker, and through the entire game, you have to discover the mystery of who did this to you, why everyone around you is dying or kills theirselves, and try to stop it. It slowly becomes a realization the more you play the game, until you reach the end of the game and have a final fight with the guy. There is no fight though. You have two choices...you can end your life and stop this virus and save the rest of humanity, or choose to live and eventually die alone because this virus spreads via contact with humans. Please for the love of god don't choose to live in this game...the ending shows you walking away, and it cuts to an undisclosed passing of time where the world is empty and you are alone...where you end your life. If you sacrifice yourself, the world slowly builds back to normal and although you are gone...you are remembered forever as a selfless hero.
I was scrolling my recommended feed and I clicked on this just looking at the title and thumbnail and I thought it was nexpo, to my surprise it wasn’t but upon watching I was surprised to see such amazing editing, voice over and just information in the video thanks for making this
the way i screamed "YESSSS" when i realized when you were going to start talking about Discover My Body.... it's the first horror game that actually made me feel uneasy if not the only one ever
I just found you today and you sir, are an excellent writter! I am subbed for sure now! I'd love for you to cover any other games this guy makes too. I LOVE the mix of horror, psychology, and theory. Awesome.
I don’t think this person is disturbed. I think they are a kind of genius. I unironically enjoyed these stories. And the art, while limited, was quite good.
I mean, there are absolutely indie horror games that are worth checking out and I personally believe that recently indie games have had a better track record with horror than the actual professional industry. With that being said there's just as many bad, half assed walking simulators that leave me less than impressed. Then there are some indie developers that ended up starting off strong, but then got popular really quickly and I think that kind of ruined them. Puppet Combo has released some pretty good horror games, but I also personally believe many of them are just starting to become stale counterfeits of their own products.
nowadays i'm scared of fungi now :D edit: although i like horror games, these horror games are the horror horror games that literally scares me mentally
Hehe, I knew these games, so that's why it was so interesting see other people talk about them. Let's hope Yames makes many more unique experiences, which are increasingly difficult to find with each passing year. In an environment of popular culture blending into a commercial soup, his works are some of the most distinctive ones I've seen.
The stylization of this reminds me a lot of Nexpo. Not a bad thing in the slightest; as a big fan of his form of content, I absolutely adore what you've created!

Yames is a very unique creator. His games are a work of art. I've also communicated with him, he's a pretty chill guy.
Guys like him give me hope for the medium.
🧢
@@rmrjmr7543 what's so hard to believe about him talking to yames before lol
he's incredibly nice & grateful lol, one of my favorite contemporary artists period
I like the usage of the word communicated here lol, makes it sound like Yames is an extra-terrestrial
I really hope Yames finishes discover our bodies. As small as it was, the first game was amazing and disturbed me in a way I hadn’t felt since the original dead space
It gave me a similar sensation as Anihilation (movie, i have yet to read the books)
Have you seen it?
@@julife.ka.3899 I think it’s because they are in the same transcendental cosmic horror genre. I love both version of annihilation, but they ultimately have different premises. The movie focuses on self destruction & assimilation, while the book is more like terraformation & elimination.
@@julife.ka.3899 You NEED to read the books!! They're SO much better than the movie! I blazed through the first book in a day because of how intriguing and delightfully upsetting it was. It's perfect.
@@julife.ka.3899 that's my favorite movie of all time. I realllly need to read the books
@@m.i.c.h.oi listen to the audiobook and i can say it so good, it rly empathize on the theme of evolution more!
The biopunk-esque idea of humans completely rejecting their current form and merging into a fungal hivemind was always extremely interesting to me, but there's almost nothing to play/watch/read about this. Would really love to see more works of fiction that explore this topic... or just more body horror fiction in general.
Story about fungus taking over our bodies: Max Lobdell’s Runners saga. It’s online, it’s free, and it’s disturbing as hell.
Story about all of humanity merging into a single hive mind: Not to spoil End of Evangelion for you, but uh … yeah. That’s literally how it ends.
Enjoy I guess?
it's vaguely reminiscent and probably inspired by the idea of the Jungian collective unconscious or Spinozist monism with hints of Kant's transcendental idealism regarding time as an intuition rather than objectively existing noumena. Although the game doesn't really use panpsychism in the best way. The idea with panpsychism is that everything that exists is at its most rudimentary some kind of experiencing entity, so experience is just a fundamental characteristic of everything, rather than something which somehow emerges at one point in evolution (i.e the hard problem of consciousness as an immaterial yet existent thing.) That doesn't mean that beyond the human self there is some kind of complete unity or 'hivemind' of everything, quite to the contrary one of the main problems regarding panpsychist philosophy is the 'combination problem,' which asks how it is that countless discrete, experiencing things like atoms are capable of somehow uniting their experience in order to produce that singular, unified experience of consciousness we experience humans. But we also have to be aware that our unified experience isn't the same thing as being aware or connected to every single atom or most rudimentary unit of experience contained in our bodies. Rather, human consciousness emerges from the unity of our parts as an entirely *new* entity altogether. In this sense, human consciousness itself is a hivemind.
Of course, we can only be 'conscious' and 'experience' because we are finite things, therefore our unified 'atom-experiences' has an external world and environment from which we are conscious-of and react to. This is a fundamental precondition for a kind of consciousness of any sort, so the idea that there is some infinite hivemind doesn't really hold up too well as far as I take it
There's probably plenty of SPC's that are just that
Y'all forgot about the TRUE fungal hivemind: the Flood from Halo
System Shock 2
The part about shedding your hands to "evolve" made me irrationally annoyed. Like, buddy, growing those things shot us up to the top of the food chain. Dont you DARE call them useless.
Well, take a second to realize what you use them for. Pointless accusational bickering from a keyboard.
@@ClockworkGearhead they can also be used for agriculture or constructing shelter, something that could aid all lifeforms, but we are the species who obtained them.
@@ClockworkGearheadHilarious comeback. Did you use your feet to pat yourself on the back?
@@brunitop4753 After running circles around you, yes.
@@ClockworkGearheadMust be nice to be so fast that you can ignore the obvious irony. Do you wanna continue this "pointless accusational bickering" or do you wanna comment something productive?
did you know? the zombie ant fungus actually doesn't have any psychoactive effects to the ants. the ants are fully awake while it happens
31:50 THROW NET
that just makes it more tragic tbh...they are aware of eveything
actual nightmare fuel
that is absolutely terrifying
How do we know the ants aren't tripping their tiny little ant balls off though? How would you even measure that?
@@josephmatthews7698 We got uninfected therapist ants to give mental evaluations and they shared it with the human researchers.
Yeah, the fungus doesn’t reach the brain at all, the body’s movements are the fungus using the ants body like a puppet, rather than messing with its train
I have a habit of rewatching RUclips videos I like over and over because the familiarity brings me comfort and this is no joke my new favorite video. Amazing work, dude!
I do this too!
bro your pfp fits the circle so perfectly its kind of scary
Wow, I thought i was the only person that did this, lol. Its Like I get in this habit of watching the same few movies or a specific few videos before bed, like you said, cause it's comforting or something, idk.. lol, 1st time I've ever heard another say they did this too
bro really puts the "watching" into that "rewatching" with that pfp
Everyone here should look into what autism is and I don't mean that as an insult
Water Womb World is my favorite game by Yames, and I’m so glad you touched on it! It’s very esoteric in a way that scratches my brain very well. In many ways, in evolution, the ocean _is_ the womb, as the very first organisms that everything else evolved from were aquatic. _Everything_ came from the sea. Our ancestors crawled from it, gasping and lonely, onto the shore. Therefore the idea that Adam and Eve weren’t the humans we presume them to be, and that the image of God isn’t actually Homo sapiens seems to click right into place. The idea that the Fall corrupted our very beings and twisted us into an alternate form, and we have now become alien to our Creator and the Creator is alien to us. Even the ocean that was our home, our birthplace, we cannot tread. Deliciously esoteric. As someone who grew up Christian, it’s such a cool concept to ponder.
Nah we crawled up in teeming hordes. Tons and tons of gradually increasingly terrestrial amphibians
Yeah, this game is such good worldbuilding. Eden being the deep ocean is just such a obvious explanation of why we can't go back, I loved it. Yet it's still plenty mystical even with the de-mystification explanation.
The unsettling part of Yames' works is that they don't have a definite antagonist. Bodies, minds, souls, flesh...they just transition and mutate pushed by "forces", which are as helpful or dangerous as one makes them. It really sells the concept of inevitable change that you can either go along with, or uselessly resist.
The concept of losing your individuality and consciousness/self awareness is terrifying to me. Hive minds are, for lack of a better word: Inhuman. Kudos to the game developer for exploring these concepts and giving me the heebie jeebies-
Social media is speeding humans into that direction evolution-wise. Humans already have the instinct to only think how the group their in thinks to be allowed in and survive in numbers.
Have you played System Shock 2? The Many are damn unsettling, to put it lightly.
you do it every night when you go to bed
@@Rujewitblood Sigh. No, we don't. Dreams are nothing but our brains scrambling visual stimuli.
A hivemind itself isn't scary so long as you've always been in one. Going from an individual to a hivemind, or even one of a hivemind become individual, is immensely terrifying.
Yyames isn’t disturbed. He’s actually a really chill fella.
The first game reminded me of a real event where a scientist was going to be beheaded by guillotine and told his assistant to count the amount of times he blinked afterwards. Like its morbid but theres some questions you won't get answers for unless the person themselves tell you how they feel.
So I realized something about Water Womb World: Most of the time when a character is of a Christian denomination they'll just say he's Christian, but this time the protagonist specifically mentions he's Catholic. I think this might have been purposeful because of how Catholics understand Heaven compared to other Christian sects. Most people think Heaven is "We're standing here and God is over there, but we're in the same place" but Catholics view Heaven as being (hopefully I'm wording this right) "caught up" in the very essence of God due to how God wishes to "unite Himself" with His children. The ending shows the red "people" being physically connected to "God", and I think it's meant to mirror that Catholic understanding of Heaven. If not, then it's one hell of a coincidence.
Edit: I realized something else. Catholics have a ritual during Mass (Catholic church service) called "Holy Communion" (or Holy Eucharist). What happens is the priest takes and blesses bread wafers (specially made for the Communion ritual) and a chalice of wine and through this blessing the bread and wine go through transubstantiation - the conversion of the substance of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ at consecration with only the appearances of bread and wine still remaining. This is done not only in remembrance of the Last supper (where Jesus said "Do this in memory of me") but also because of John 6:54-57.
"Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him."
When the protagonist studies the red coral, it says it has "neurons" and even says "womb of God". It's practically flesh. The protagonist eats it and slowly turns into one of the red humanoid creatures, and it's revealed God himself is made up of this red coral. He was eating the flesh of "God" and was transformed - abiding in "God" just as "God" was now abiding in him resulting in life everlasting. Yeah forget what I said in my original comment. There's no way in hell (or heaven?) all this is coincidence. XD Either way the creator did an awesome job making the game and I kinda wish it were longer.
Eucharist is unidenominational, it is not exclusive to catholics
As soon as I saw the thumbnail I immediately knew you were going to talk about yames. His art is incredibly eye catching and recognizable and his games have left a lasting impression on me. I love horror, and the games they have made especially so, the concepts they use in their games are absolutely horrific, I Love it.
15:00 I’m not saying I’d be the perfect victim for this story, but the true horror is knowing how delicious chicken of the woods can be to lure me in.
Fair
Whats the best way to prepare it, like is it better in a sandwich or in a stew
@@Gnome-kc7prI like it in a stir fry, mushrooms can get rubbery and tough when boiled but if prepared properly it’s similar to chicken, hence the name
@@Gnome-kc7pr Pasta, for sure! My first time trying it was with gnocchi in a cream sauce. All vegan, shockingly, but delicious nonetheless.
19:01 "The underwater world inherently holds an undeniable beauty that is hard to deny" is such a banger of a quote
I will always hear the discover my body narration in Markiplier’s voice, complete with his horror and disgust as he reads each line, lmao. “Ah, you’ve discovered mY ROTTING BONES?!?!?!”
Markimoo is da best #youtubeking
Even at the end, I could only hear his screaming voice "I AM SO HAPPY!!!! ......... ........ ........ _GREAT!"_
Youve discovered that my hands have fallen off! Will always be intensely unintentionally funny
i absolutely adore yames. there's really nobody else doing it out there like them. they're style is incredible and i haven't seen anything like it.
The zombie ants remind me of the "Paras" evolution line from Pokemon just how the fugui takes over its mind.
I believe they were partially based on them
I don't know this for certain but it seems very likely that paras is a fungal infected crustel. I say this because of their typings and similar looks and they have nearly identical descriptions of their habits until it gets to the paracect evolution that is where the fungus has completely taken over. The last reason for my thoughts is that the type of bugs that have a life cycle as crustel and paras have a tendency to be infected with fungus fairly often and don't die for quite some time after they have been infected.
I do believe they're based on cordeceps, the zombie fungus of ants
@amberrost2665 That fungus affects a huge number of insects, arachnids, and arthropods. Different species for each combination for the most part but there are just as many types of fungus that will take over arthropods in general as there are arthropods. The specific ones that are being referenced I don't know if anyone will ever know for certain though the animals being affected are the Secada, and another type of insect though not the one that affects ants specifically. Basically the way it works in the Secada and the other animal I'm thinking about the animal stays fully functional until right before it takes over then for a while they are still functional though they act like a female instead of a male or a male instead of a female or a mix between the two which makes the fungus spread out faster and further than it would otherwise. Then right before the death of the animals it climbs to the highest place it can find and releases a massive spore cloud typically very close to where it emerged from the ground and that results in the next generation getting blasted too sometimes. The other primary animal is the grasshopper or a special type of land crab. Yes there are land crabs about twenty species if I remember correctly and they range from the size of your pinkey fingernail to about the size of a basketball, most of species could fit into your hand with room leftover at the same time. Did you know that beedrill is based on the Japanese giant hornets and not a bee. The Combee line and cuitefly lines are actually based on the honey bee.
Paras and parasect are based off them
It's been a while since I couldn't get a game out of my head as much as it happens with Yames' games. There's no jumpscares, no threats, in Discover My Body you just have a friendly chat with another person, but it's terrifying.
The atmospheric and somewhat nostalgic gameplay made me feel unnerved but also at home? It’s so alien yet also reminiscent of something I’d see in an old off brand video game. It’s very interesting.
FYI as a point of criticism, which I levy against you purely so you can improve because this was a fantastic video: if your commentary between game clips doesn’t do anything except re-state what the lore of the game just said, also in your voice, then the commentary doesn’t add much value. There was a few points in the video where you completely restated what the game just said.
I played these games a few years ago and I didn't assimilate seeing a documentary type video of some of them, I really thought it was another story when I read the title.
I love the atmosphere, the style and the story you handled. I can really tell you took the time to research and make it more interesting than it already is.
I've been watching your videos from my TV and I love the way you edit and write, I hope you get the recognition you deserve soon. You give a lot of quality content and with that you really deserve a great audience, I wish you the best of luck.
"Discover my body" is just the world we already live in. Loneliness is skyrocketing.
Whats rejection of God so to a whole society (specially with the dumb idea of full individualism and subjetive morality)
When stuff like Neuralink gets a public release, and becomes cheaper as technology advances, you'll see people living most of their days laying on their bed, with the chip on their brain feeding them constant stimulus through entertainment, as their mind and muscles decay. It's as close as funguses as we'll get.
Very interesting channel that i've found recently. Despite the obvious ─ and, at times, heavy ─ Nexpo influences on your work, i still find your research and areas of knowledge very original, and that keeps me going and amused. You seem to be young enough to still be finding your own path as a content creator, and you will definitely find yourself, but know that what you are creating right now already has value. Congratulations on your work.
Thank you, As a smaller creator I feel as if I have to constantly reinvent, and evolve what I do to grow, and find myself. Something that I think I'll always be doing. I'm inspired by many creators I watch, and a lot of that comes out in my videos.
Innit, over the catalogue there's certainly Nexpo and Wendigoon in V.C's works. Not a bad thing tho
Well, Nexpo is just a ripoff of Night Mind and then Lemmino, so 🤷♀️
Great vid as always bro, by the end I literally felt like I was coming across them same deep water creatures and stuff as the player
i am SO glad you made this video because i am literally obsessed with yames' work!!! the art style and world-building is always so incredible, i love the real scary stuff when it comes to games >:] yames' games are the type of thing you'll be thinking about for a while, and i think that's the kind of effect any creative venture should have, whether it be artwork or a novel or a video game like these!
You're collection of long-form content is impressive and awesome. I hope you get the attention you're working for.
I believe that you will find your audience, great channel
Oh ho ho, Yames. This is one hell of a video game rabbit hole. Don't miss his other games too.
"The underwater world inherently holds and undeniable beauty, that is hard to deny"
Ah yes, this floor is made out of floor.
"an undeniable beauty that's hard to deny"
jesis christ
I think it's the popular opinion that indie horror is where it's at now. My LetsPlayers rarely touch AAA horror anymore, & when they do, it never goes past 3 streams before they get bored & either go to STEAM or a Haunted PS1 Demo Disc. Creepypasta ARGs are seeing a big resurgence.
Mainstream horror is pretty good lately as well. There's Amnesia The Bunker, RE4 Remake and DS Remake just this year.
Discover My Body's final words "I AM SO HAPPY" sounds a lot like Giygas' final words after you beat him. Starting to think that Giygas helped inspire some of Yames' psychological horror ideas.

Thank you for putting together this rather informative video!
19:09 "The underwater world inherently holds an undeniable beauty that is hard to deny..."
Department of redundancy department. :D
The intro was incredibly well executed, i loved how for every game that showed up there was a quick but sort of "powerful" description being given, especially with the alternate watch game combined with you saying "Surreal and unsettling alterations... Of the familiar."
Do you know what game that is when he says that line?
The second I saw that thumbnail I knew there was gonna be some fun stuff. Yames is an amazing and disturbed person
You have the nexpo vibe and you upload way more often. Definitely gonna give you a sub

Never have I thought I would see a game perfectly encapsulate the psilocybin experience

"disturbed" implies mental unwellness, which you do not substantiate
Pretty sure the average guy with an happy childhood and satisfying life would not make these games

Guys gotta do a little more editing!
You had me at "undeniable beauty that is hard to deny!" .. :)
I love your videos and your delivery/voice. Keep it up!
Very much enjoying the content, the video was perfectly paced and exactly what I've been looking for. I'm looking forward to more of your content in the future
This video is so relaxing and interesting, I have seen it several times while I do crafts!
This is right at home with an idea I've had for a video game, but I don't have the heart for it.
Basically, you play as this teenager in a world that's highly technologically evolved to the point that humanity has merged with AI and humanity is enhanced to the point they can be hacked into and terminated, if someone wanted to do so.
In this game, you are a teenager who has a computer virus uploaded into them by this mysterious rogue human hacker, and through the entire game, you have to discover the mystery of who did this to you, why everyone around you is dying or kills theirselves, and try to stop it.
It slowly becomes a realization the more you play the game, until you reach the end of the game and have a final fight with the guy. There is no fight though. You have two choices...you can end your life and stop this virus and save the rest of humanity, or choose to live and eventually die alone because this virus spreads via contact with humans.
Please for the love of god don't choose to live in this game...the ending shows you walking away, and it cuts to an undisclosed passing of time where the world is empty and you are alone...where you end your life.
If you sacrifice yourself, the world slowly builds back to normal and although you are gone...you are remembered forever as a selfless hero.
I would love to create a game like this
@@sonyablade3039 I never did finish making it but I had it planned and demo'ed on RPG Maker VX Ace!
I was scrolling my recommended feed and I clicked on this just looking at the title and thumbnail and I thought it was nexpo, to my surprise it wasn’t but upon watching I was surprised to see such amazing editing, voice over and just information in the video thanks for making this
the way i screamed "YESSSS" when i realized when you were going to start talking about Discover My Body.... it's the first horror game that actually made me feel uneasy if not the only one ever
“Man made horrors beyond our comprehension” bruh they literally just explained it.
I just found you today and you sir, are an excellent writter! I am subbed for sure now! I'd love for you to cover any other games this guy makes too. I LOVE the mix of horror, psychology, and theory. Awesome.
"...an undeniable beauty, that is hard to deny."
I don’t think this person is disturbed. I think they are a kind of genius. I unironically enjoyed these stories. And the art, while limited, was quite good.
"undeniable beauty, that is hard to deny."
"Descending deeper into the deep sea....."
Speaking of atmospheric, love the soft music you used to set the tone of the opening.
I mean, there are absolutely indie horror games that are worth checking out and I personally believe that recently indie games have had a better track record with horror than the actual professional industry. With that being said there's just as many bad, half assed walking simulators that leave me less than impressed.
Then there are some indie developers that ended up starting off strong, but then got popular really quickly and I think that kind of ruined them. Puppet Combo has released some pretty good horror games, but I also personally believe many of them are just starting to become stale counterfeits of their own products.
Your voice is soothing. I bet you could make money on the side narrating ebooks.
Good choice in background music too.
this video is interesting and high quality. hope you get more subs keep up the great content

keep up the good work man!
I respect the adoption of the phrase "mind-brain".
that first game was wild, it gave me a lot to think about. Love your videos man.
Hehe, I knew these games, so that's why it was so interesting see other people talk about them. Let's hope Yames makes many more unique experiences, which are increasingly difficult to find with each passing year. In an environment of popular culture blending into a commercial soup, his works are some of the most distinctive ones I've seen.
The stylization of this reminds me a lot of Nexpo. Not a bad thing in the slightest; as a big fan of his form of content, I absolutely adore what you've created!

Amazing video! Congrats!
Yames is singlehandedly redefining the body horror genre, period. Not only do they explore the topic through video games in a unique way, but the horror genre as a whole.
