I'd also love to see him play the 3D fangame of yume nikki! The 3D liminal-esque beginning area and the house with floral wallpaper fit into the creepy comfy vibe so well
I would also love to see him play Omori. That game has fantastic writing and characters, and it's psychological horror aspect is definitely inspired by Yume Nikki while still being a unique and memorable experience. And since a major part of Omori is being inside of a dream world, I feel like it's definitely right up his alley.
This was incredible. It went from midly unnerving to a real sense of threat. It felt kind of familiar to me; I have dreams like that, something that seems just odd suddenly becomes threatening. Nice. And that last section with the light switches is visually very interesting. And my god, poor Pigsy. Pigsy deserves a hug.
14:35 For some reason, made me think of Team Fortress 2's Observer craze. Just a bunch of people playing Spies with a specific cosmetic loadout meant to invoke the feeling of a piercing gaze. They'd just stand there... and observe. Maybe sometimes cloaking when someone draws near or when shot at but only reappear somewhere else. It was like if the Spectator 'team' actually had a physical form.
I love surreal stuff. Dreamcore, weird core, things like that. Add horror to that and you get a cool as hell mix. I didn't expect to cry. Pigsy, poor guy...
once I was in Geneva and was walking down a dark alley with my sister to get to a restaurant. we went around the corner and were jumpscared by a CRT TV with a video of an eye (just like the one in the first minute of this video) looking around frantically. it was apparently some kind of advertisement for an avant-garde art show on. it was so surreal
I'm always amazed by how much he seems to know about half life and the source engine and then at the same time sometimes not knowing so much this time it's the tool gun from Garry's mod 😂🤣 Oftentimes as well it's the default Half-Life to graffiti that you look way too far into That's why we love you and the fact that you get so immersed into every map that you jump at every little creek
@@Storse this thread is basically a meeting of people who got garrys mod but never played original half life 2 at this point. come on, you are teached to zoom before you get a crowbar!
One of my favourite playthroughs so far. Somehow I instantly feel what the map conveys even though I'm only watching this video of it and not actually playing it. So magical yet the most unnerving
You should try gm_hillscape. Quite an old map, but it has such a comfy dreamlike atmosphere that it's one of my favourites by far. I'd recommend not using the warps for extra exploration.
9:50-11:10. I love the way that The Librarian talks about stuff like this. You're so philosophic about the most random of things. The way that you smoothly talk, along with the Everywhere-at-the-end-of-time-like style of medium pitched jazz, it makes me change. The way you rationalize makes me think about other people, and how they exist. Other people, other perceivers, different things, the way that they all see differently. And the dream state. It does make me feel strongly to random stuff. Hell, I cried over a bee in a dream once. The fact that the nonsense you say isn't nonsense at all makes me smile, and i always binge watch your videos after a month of not watching them. No matter how long it takes me, I usually finish a month or two worth of videos. It's nice watching someone like you, or just you in general. I hope that you get to 200,000 and beyond on subscribers, and live the good life doing horror based content like coryxkenshin 😆 I hope you have had a great time making videos, and I really want you to keep up doing what you like to do. Sorry for the mile long rant
This one was actually really good, I'm glad I gave it a chance. Almost wrote it off, "surreal horror" can mean all sorts of quality these days. The scares were properly subtle and the messages on the wall actually felt quite menacing, cashing out well on the sense of being watched that the game spent building up. The corpses were maybe a little cheesy, but around the Pigsy section I did find myself becoming a bit apprehensive, lol.
A lot of people are talking about the Yume Nikki inspiration and ripped music but I haven't seen anyone talk about how the ending segment is ripped straight from Off, even down to the light switch. I'm not complaining I absolutely love both Yume Nikki and Off so it's cool to see them inspire other things!
Oh yeah! Love that game to death. It would be a great fit for the channel too. Zone 2 fits the creepy/comfy motif. Zone 3 (among other things/places) is horror. The whole game is a surreal yet engaging experience. The music is perfect too. Absolutely second this!
Hey Librarian. There's this game I found recently which I think you may like. It's called Voices of the Void and it's something like a job simulator horror game with a Source aesthetic where you look for signals from space. Anyways, keep up the good content!
Walls being so dark that they camouflage as void is such an interesting idea, and there's no way this is the first map to have played with it, but the way the idea is introduced and escalates through the course of the map is extremely impressive. 22:55 is a moment that's less horror than terror, and that's incredible.
I didn't try it as more scripted maps like this tend to have problems with it, but I know I would have gotten stuck any time the grav gun had to be used.
Librarian. I'm really a fan of your work. Your analytical narration is very good that it makes me very observant to the video. Your voice is so chill i like the way you brought the video yet your reaction to the jumpscares is a comedy. Also your content is very suitable for adult viewers as it's great to see a gaming channel that talk senses. Even sometimes I watch your videos just to put me to sleep because of your soothing voice. Love you librarian
Hey hey, sorry if i commented this before but i still want to recommend you a very weird and surreal walking simulator game called “#21, The World” by a developed called “LSDdev” He basically made a lot of his dreams and things in his life into this surreal expansive exploration based game. I think it would really fit based on games like Cement Mixer Simulator and Hendicad. Vinesauce did a couple streams of it too if you want to take a peek :) I think you’d love it and it would fit the channels content! Anyways, have a good one! Loved this and i love all your other stuff! Keep it up!
Really love your content, especially Gmod VR, but really any Gmod Horror map is fun to watch :) Keep those horror maps flowing for some time, really makes my day :D Goodjob with keeping up your energy to do all of these long playthroughs.
The drawn level near the end of the map kinda reminds me of the psychosis levels from Afraid of Monsters. And also old tf2 maps with the same artsyle, honestly maps and games like these give me nostalgia of playing tf2 on trade_psykopat2 which is a nice feeling. Anyways nice video, hope to see more surreal maps in the future.
Have you ever thought of playing Dusk (not sure why I’m asking this on a random video, other than the black walls making me think of it) on this channel? It’s a lot more of an intense shooter than you usually play, but it’s got some great horror to it.
21:36 As a kid, I recall that I had a couple nasty dreams where something creepy or scary was chasing me. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get away- until I turned around and said something like "You wanna be friends?" And then the monster stopped chasing me and we walked around or talked for a bit.
I'm not sure if I'm going schizo or if it's purely accidental or intentional but I can keep making out eyes in the shapes of things, in textures, etc... for example in the vent early on, specifically in the lit up section, the wall at the end almost looks like a grayscale face. or in the section after the vent I can almost make out an eye-like shape in the carpet's pattern. the oval shape of the light posts in the neighborhood, the white blotches in the texture of one of the houses in the neighborhood. Either way, I'm not too far into the video and I'm in love with this map.
Oh wow, that sketchy portion of the first ending gives me some serious half-quake vibes. Always loved that surreal monochrome look, I always thought source did a particularly good job with that
25:15 "I will not run jump or climb. I will not kneel, lie down, or cover any sensors. I will not make physical contact with other players, or use offensive language. I will play hard, play smart, and play to survive!"
Hey Librarian, I just want you to know I really love your Gmod exploration videos They are way better than those dumb "Obunga chases me in the backrooms" videos. I also really love your half-life mod gameplay videos. Well alright that's all I had to say and please keep doing what you are doing!
19:35 love ur commentary on the dream logic of it but in this example the ideas are connected, no? like maybe one of the features were pig-like ears? that's why he cut them off?
On the other endings, the map maker commented "Ending 5 is unfinished, ending 6 is not real," "If you remember, that's the ending"
well thats dissapointing
Has Librarian played Yume Nikki? If not, he really should do a playthrough. Many areas in that game fit the creepy/comfy motif.
I absolutely second this!
I'd also love to see him play the 3D fangame of yume nikki! The 3D liminal-esque beginning area and the house with floral wallpaper fit into the creepy comfy vibe so well
i agree + Yume Nikki is my fav exploration game
Hell yeah yume nikki has a great soundtrack
I would also love to see him play Omori. That game has fantastic writing and characters, and it's psychological horror aspect is definitely inspired by Yume Nikki while still being a unique and memorable experience. And since a major part of Omori is being inside of a dream world, I feel like it's definitely right up his alley.

I didn't expect to cry. Pigsy, poor guy...
Pigsy really gives off Traumacore vibes. Poor guy.
I really hope you come back to this map and do all the endings. I think this map was amazing and really deserves a second look.
yeah, pigsy deserves it
A second look huh ? 😂
once I was in Geneva and was walking down a dark alley with my sister to get to a restaurant. we went around the corner and were jumpscared by a CRT TV with a video of an eye (just like the one in the first minute of this video) looking around frantically. it was apparently some kind of advertisement for an avant-garde art show on. it was so surreal

Oftentimes as well it's the default Half-Life to graffiti that you look way too far into
That's why we love you and the fact that you get so immersed into every map that you jump at every little creek
and if he's jumping at every creek, then god help him when he finds a river
@@eg_manifest510 I adore this response.
"The image is so small..."
Librarian spent too much in VR and forgot Garry's Mod has a zoom button.
It does?
@@duplicake i think its Z by default, check the keyboard settings
I swear it's still one of the top-tier zooms of all gaming too. Ah how I get nostalgic for that zoom.
wait that exists? i'd always pull out a crossbow or camera to zoom.
@@Storse this thread is basically a meeting of people who got garrys mod but never played original half life 2 at this point. come on, you are teached to zoom before you get a crowbar!

Nice use of Yume Nikki music! I always found that creepy dark ambient stuff very effective at building a mood.

The body that gets dragged away in the TV room is pretty great, though.
Oh my, The librarian bringing out Officer flat screen?? This is going to be good!
Glad eye saw this video.
Eye see what you did there.
This video is pure eye candy
23:48 I love how I had the same thought 2 seconds before he said it.
Also 25:37 'Take on Me' starts playing
A lot of people are talking about the Yume Nikki inspiration and ripped music but I haven't seen anyone talk about how the ending segment is ripped straight from Off, even down to the light switch. I'm not complaining I absolutely love both Yume Nikki and Off so it's cool to see them inspire other things!

The black and white moment looks like the AntiChamber puzzle game , its was really stunning moment
it reminded me of Cry of Fear and Afraid of Monsters
That buzzing song you're hearing is actually a track from Yume Nikki. Think it's Dense Woods A.
Hey Librarian.
There's this game I found recently which I think you may like.
It's called Voices of the Void and it's something like a job simulator horror game with a Source aesthetic where you look for signals from space.
Anyways, keep up the good content!
the 'buzzing cicada sound' is the track 'dense woods a' from yume nikki (not to be confused with the track 'dense woods b' from the same game)
if you somehow havent played that game do it ASAP its a perfect fit for you
You should try playing Superliminal sometime, I think it'd be a perfect fit for this channel
My rooms entire wallpaper kinda resembles eyes if you squint enough, so this one was especially efective.
Walls being so dark that they camouflage as void is such an interesting idea, and there's no way this is the first map to have played with it, but the way the idea is introduced and escalates through the course of the map is extremely impressive. 22:55 is a moment that's less horror than terror, and that's incredible.
Dang. I'm guessing this map wouldn't work in VR? Anyways, excited to watch this!
I didn't try it as more scripted maps like this tend to have problems with it, but I know I would have gotten stuck any time the grav gun had to be used.
@@TheLibrarianYT Absolutely fair! Finished watching yesterday, and the map was such a trip. Haha Awesome video man!
Guys, I want map like this.
I want scary maps without cheap jumpscares, just like this one

Anyways, have a good one! Loved this and i love all your other stuff! Keep it up!
Ah. I see. 4:10 shows the subliminal nature of this project, too. There are eyes in the ground textures.
Most of the ambience sounds in this are from Yume Nikki and the sad song is "Dust Collector" by yg hypnos
If you don't go back and remember Pigsy I'll cry
This feels based on Yumi Nikki, with the way the sound is and the eyes...
There's some of the music in it even.
0:50 thought: it is actually a WINDOW, and the eye is of a giant person
20:43 I fucing love you The Librarian!
this one is easily my favourite gmod map exploration you've done, and i come back to it sometimes because of how strange and charming it is
Fresh from the oven librarian vid, the best kind
Really love your content, especially Gmod VR, but really any Gmod Horror map is fun to watch :) Keep those horror maps flowing for some time, really makes my day :D Goodjob with keeping up your energy to do all of these long playthroughs.

Time to propose a collaboration with the mapmaker to create cuddly Pigsy plushes.
Your videos are so good to watch before bed, that's my favorite time to watch them.
Dude, I never even played Gmod and I knew the toolgun was a revolver
LIbrarian if you have time you absolutly should play Frank bow, you are gonna loved its one of the best horror mystery games.
This map is so atmospheric. I hope you'll return to it at some point in the future to get other endings.
I get some strong _Afraid of Monsters_ and _Half-Quake: Amen_ vibes from this, especially in the black-and-white section.
“…do you promise to remember me? Thanks for noticing me” landed a bit too hard
21:36 As a kid, I recall that I had a couple nasty dreams where something creepy or scary was chasing me. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get away- until I turned around and said something like "You wanna be friends?" And then the monster stopped chasing me and we walked around or talked for a bit.
everyone, we need to make pigsy a channel meme so no one ever forgets him
Poor Pigsy 😞
I played the map myself but no matter what I do I can't seem to get the *You remembered him* ending.
@@SpinoRexy733 The “You Remembered Him” ending isn’t an actual real ending within the game. Its metaphorical I think.
@@Slipperyslab If that's the case then why is it listed as a ending?
on 25:32 the song played is from the ost of yume nikki ! eye world or something similar, what a reference!!!
This map reminds me of those weird early 2010's rpgmaker games.
Wait, Librarian didn't even know what gun the toolgun was?
i-
this was a pretty good map thx for showing it
I'm not sure if I'm going schizo or if it's purely accidental or intentional but I can keep making out eyes in the shapes of things, in textures, etc... for example in the vent early on, specifically in the lit up section, the wall at the end almost looks like a grayscale face. or in the section after the vent I can almost make out an eye-like shape in the carpet's pattern. the oval shape of the light posts in the neighborhood, the white blotches in the texture of one of the houses in the neighborhood.
Either way, I'm not too far into the video and I'm in love with this map.
Oh wow, that sketchy portion of the first ending gives me some serious half-quake vibes. Always loved that surreal monochrome look, I always thought source did a particularly good job with that
Seeing this instead of studying lol
seeing this?
that's good
it's also 'seeing' you :)
25:15 "I will not run jump or climb. I will not kneel, lie down, or cover any sensors. I will not make physical contact with other players, or use offensive language. I will play hard, play smart, and play to survive!"
why does this Gmod map feel so emotional
Yes, Librarian, that IS the walk to Taco Bell. (I would know, I live next to it)
i always like to come back to this video, the whole vibe of it is just so good, plus i don't forget my man Pigsy!
[matter-of-factly:]
“Oh, great. Satan’s jungle gym.”
Dude you have such a calming voice and it makes me want to keep watching also love how you just play gmod for the whole channel about
I’ll remember you, Pigsy. 💕
i love watching the librarian play maps after i download and play them cause of his video.
If you haven't tried the map titled "Paranoia", I recommend you give it a chance
When you got to the room with the moving space pictures, it came to mind: This map would be pretty cool in VR, I might have to try that some time.
This was an amazing video by you, your commentary makes everything a 100x better, i must thank you for making this and you've done a beautiful job.
Was that your eye? Whoever it is is wearing contacts.
Hey Librarian, I just want you to know I really love your Gmod exploration videos They are way better than those dumb "Obunga chases me in the backrooms" videos. I also really love your half-life mod gameplay videos. Well alright that's all I had to say and please keep doing what you are doing!
I just started a drawing of Pigsy, his story will be remembered
I thought that the gun was a tape dispenser at first. 2:50 🤣
according to the author's workshop page:
"Ending 5 is unfinished, ending 6 is not real"
Actually, this map reminds me of superliminal!
Wow! This looks really cool! I’m pretty sure that black shadow guy you could have gone with him to the exit.
will jump into the crowd and suggest yume nikki too
perfect game for *the* librarian to try out
also maybe play omori by yourself until reaching the black space (yume nikki inspired stuff)
preferrably the one that is unlocked in alternate path
I really enjoy watching this kind of videos you do! ❤
huge fan of all the yume nikki music that appears to be baked into the map itself.
Have you played The Long Dark? It’s pretty much the perfect Librarian game.
12:30 Are those eye assets the same ones that were used in In Sound Mind? :D
That dark to light art room scene reminds me heavily of Antichamber. (which would be cool to see on this channel by the way)
how on earth did you get this working
me and my friends can't get it to run for more than a minute before it dies
this is a way better dream map than the vast majority of liminal space maps
Amazing video once again!
i love this map so nostalgic
On time for a release randomly, cool
Dude! If you loved this map then you’ll definitely love Yumi Nikki!
This is probably the scariest gmod map I’ve ever seen
I like to think that all gm maps or horror maps are just tests made by the combine testing human life during or before hl2. Just a head cannon
19:35 love ur commentary on the dream logic of it but in this example the ideas are connected, no? like maybe one of the features were pig-like ears? that's why he cut them off?
super small thing i love the vid and ur conetent in general just curious lol
I wish I had more dreams like this
This feels like a weird meta spongebob episode.
The valleys have eyes.
Sure do see the eyes, not sure i see the valley though
I love your voice and the way you say things
You should replay this in vr
Could you explore this map in vr please? its called "Gm_School"
1:31 is purple man
This map is a real eye opener 😀
Can you please do the Tina uuuhh sound please!
