*Answers phone* "Ma'am I need you to call the police!" *She doesn't, hangs up* *He hangs up* Man, if only there was a telephone to call the police Not to be hard on the developers, this is definitely a game where you can tell they were sincere about what they were making. But you can also tell none of them were writers, among other things.
My thoughts on the game as a whole: (I'll leave some space to try and avoid spoilers) . . . . . . . . . The build-up was nice and spooky: have the player do some boring yet understandable tasks, feed the animals, test for diseases, all good stuff. Good tension building. The scary parts in the middle were good but the fact that getting caught by the mutant doesn't actually seem to do anything does kill the tension somewhat. It doesn't even seem like you have an HP bar or anything, can you even die in this game? And then the ending.... whoo boy that was rushed. Watching it live I couldn't even fully process what happened by the time it cut to black and started telling the rest of the story through paragraphs of text. All in all an interesting premise and some cool mechanics and atmosphere, but it really feels like it needed more time in the oven. This does NOT feel like a complete game. (Is there like, a true ending that you can unlock with different choices or more playthroughs? I feel like if there was then it might explain why the game felt so unfinished with just one playthrough)
spoiler opinions: - - - - - - The game is quite short at first appearance (if 2 hours can be seen as such), mainly because it appears to be designed around replaying it. as for how many times is needed to be able to access all enclosures, i cant be sure. it is implied that depending on what order you go in, the first and second may not be infected, at least in this playthrough. there are several endings with different triggers, some being based around becoming fully infected earlier on, and some being based around events where you make a choice. all living characters have at least one ending (doc, MC wife, MC death, journalist). given that a run is about 2 hours, it can be said to be somewhat acceptable if you enjoy the first run. i personally dont really agree with this setup, although it makes sense as the infection spreads rapidly and the parasite is growing, so being able to see all the animals in one night is a bit...unlikely given that after every enclosure your body becomes more and more disturbing. the save system only being an auto save is qutie annoying because of this, as it doesnt let you revert to previous points to try a different ending, instead requiring you to just flat out restart. as for how other enclosures are unlocked, i cant be sure but people are saying it takes multiple runs. its possible its one extra enclosure per new game, but i cant be sure myself nor can i be bothered to research it further. decent game overall, was fun to watch aggy play it despite some raging (luv u
I actually like watching people figure shit out for a while. The only time I felt it was super obvious and yet aggster was struggling was at the female parasite puzzle.
the frustration of knowing there is 4 tests for the wallaby's, he needs to take blood sample, and listen to their sounds, then itll tell him the correct drug... this is why guessing around is frustrating, but he just doesn't notice the icons and all the extra tools on the cart.
Like Aggy, I think this game got shit on unfairly, BUT I will say, I wish there was a non-horror mode, where all you do is just feed the animals and treat their symptoms.
Came here to say the same thing. The plot and overall concept just seems like it was built from keywords like "dystopia, zookeeper, body horror." Even the voices sound just the right kind of wrong.
That was definitely one of the games of all time. Breathtaking plot, immaculate voice acting, absolutely stunning gameplay. This must be nominated for GOTY.
Anyone else get a lil annoyed how long it took him on the parasite puzzle? Like my man they give you 3 scenarios to choose from and all you gotta do is identify which one fits.
God forbid the person PLAYING THE GAME try to take their time to parse the answer instead of immediately making a random guess that could be the wrong choice, but I guess that's just not entertaining enough
@@crooked_robot Being fair, the parasite puzzle indicated that there was always one female, multiple males. Nothing implied there would be multiple females. So seeing Aggy get confused and frustrated because of a factor that he accidentally inserted into the puzzle (Chance for several females) and thus overthought it was a bit annoying. He also frequently skipped over the second parasite type, which clearly matched what he had. I felt watching the vod that if he had slowed a little and fully re-read all three types, he would've had it sooner. It's not "Aggy didn't immediately solve it/guess". It's that he was clearly getting annoyed by the puzzle for the wrong reasons of information. Nothing against him, but I completely understand how Chat was getting aggravated but playing it calm by not trying to tell him the answer.
@@daefaronNothing about the parasite puzzles indicate that there’s only one female other than outside meta-gaming knowledge that the puzzle only is 100% solvable that way, which was Aggy’s point. The rules presented in-universe do not indicate that there’s only one female
@@trevorames242 "how to determine the female" Point of the puzzle is to find the female. It's hardly "meta knowledge" especially since every other puzzle in the game did not feature such twists.
@@daefaron “How to determine the female of a parasite” aka the whole species, not “How to determine the female out of these 4 parasites”. Saying “every other puzzle didn’t feature such twists” is literally meta knowledge. The protagonist doesn’t know he’s in a puzzle and would have no way of knowing that there could only be 1 female.

This is a great start to Horror Month Sir Aggicus, can't wait to see what is next on the docket!
this game feels like a really nice concept but the execution is just a ''is that it? that's the game?''

Quez tin. How come after he saved the girl there was still someone hanging above the grinder? 😿
1st try, and Aggy gets the best ending. GG
