Whats Wrong With These? Is a totally unoriginal series covering games that I otherwise wouldn't in a full length video in the Worst Game On Steam series. Instead of just covering bad games, I look for anything that seems unique enough to explore with added commentary/review at the end of each game.
Segments:
0:00 Intro
0:22 FolcDark
11:35 Riot of Willy
19:38 Hospital 9
34:19 The Inner Demons
40:55 The Mummy Pharaoh
48:52 Outrow
-------
I'm WickedWiz from the What Went Wrong series coming at you with some of the most cursed indie games on Steam. This new series is for games that are so bad, that they're actually good. Worst Game On Steam, is a question that hopefully turns out to be false each time. These are games that won't fit the longer form What Went Wrong videos.

Ok ok I lied... Grilfriends aren't real
Oh...
Boyfriends ar-
Yeah, they’re kind of like Bigfoot. I’ve seen pictures but that’s about it.
tfw no ghost gf :(
True, true
That map in the first game was made in Inkarnate! It's a website used for making custom maps for Dungeons and Dragons campaigns. I instantly recognised the mountains and fort from the free asset pack from when I did my last DND campaign.
Nerd
Thought the exact same thing!
I'm biased, because I'm Brazilian, but I agree. That's some potential. Maybe a better translator wouldn't hurt either.
@@shrimpgabe3812did you just call me a nerd, Geek?
@@ajs3637 hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm YES I AM A NERD! BOOKWORM IM STUDIOUS!
so, a fun fact is that the "horse" in 7:49 is actually the Headless Mule. in her story, she falls in love with a priest and receives a curse in which she turns into a mule in some nights, galloping until the morning. apparently, some places also have a version of this legend that says the priest also gets cursed, and is doomed to wander around the nights with fire burning what should be his head
"doomed to wander around the nights with fire burning what should be his head"
I think my pops was watching a series where that one appeared... but I can't remember the name.
"fire burning what should be his head"
so, Brazilian dullahan
@@jonatanrobledo9812 Invisible City . If that's the one they made it look really cool.
@@n0ty0urgh0st2 yes, that one, thanks. Gotta see it when I have some free time.
Imagine being with your other going south then all of a sudden your head ignites like Ghost Rider💀
I like how the pistol in The Mummy Pharaoh takes clearly labeled boxes of shotgun shells as ammo.
Hey the person boxing the ammo that day was tired and got them mixed up.
What if it it fires .410 gauge shells? That is actually a thing. Basically to shoot vermin without needing a shotgun. Maybe even .22 rimfire shot, which is also a thing.
And safety is "fuse"
@@HappyBeezerStudios .22 isn't a shotgun and there's not a 1911 that's a .410 there's only a revolver a Taurus judge and a 2 shot Derringer that also shoots .45 long
First one was unironically kinda impressive. Sure, the artstyle was.. interesting? But it's actually got some mechanics too it. Definitely got some work put into it, fore sure. A lack of art doesn't mean the code ain't up to snuff, just look at how minecraft started out.
Right? Sure, many of the mechanics look visually janky but it also tells me that they made them themselves which is pretty impressive. I dont have much experience in making games besides a few amateur game james but this looks like the people behind it had actual passion for making games. A breath of fresh air after all the lazy asset flips we have seen on this channel
@@mrsloth8701 I know, right? It doesn't look like it's just some bought pack crammed in, it's just janky enough that it seems like they did it from scratch. If that's the case, they should keep making games imo.
Wtf are you on about? Buying a bunch of mechanics packs off the storefront is not impressive, I’ll give you the befit of the doubt and assume you’re mistakenly talking about the second game.
@@hansmoleman2666 who said they bought packs? Maybe read it one more time?
@@hansmoleman2666 Come on, who cares? The first game has a nice art style, interesting mechanics and combat which can be improved and WHO CARES WHERE THEY TOOK THEM and it has lots of heart put into it. I hope it's going somewhere and be good and receive appreciation. No game on this series is the worst game on Steam, most game are extremely flawed but good games in their own way, like Spider Queen Cave, so cut them some slack brother.
"New cinematic horror" which was basically how horror games were done in the 90s. Fixed camera but they used Tank controls.
The 4th game is so unique that John Resident Evil travelled into the future to rip the game off for a game named after himself.
The introduction movie of Riot of Willy has me wondering who uses a flashlight outside at 2 PM.
People who dont wanna step in poo
Anyone in Svalbard or Tromsø,, Norway in December or January... it's dark virtually 24-7 during 'polar night' season.
Honestly the concept of having a companion being the only one with the flashlight is a unique gimmick
Why would you be lying about it
i thought the same
That reminds me of the section in Half Life 2 where you were the companion with the light, and had to illuminate enemies for your NPC ally to shoot.
(Or just use the Gravity Gun to throw junk at them, if you're impatient)
at that point on Hl2 ep1 i think you already have pistol with the smg (or shotgun) aswell, but alyx definitely helps here and you need to maanage battery well so it dont run out in the middle of fight@@the_Ghost_Owl
@@samloredescarregado1755 Ah, that's a fair point. I was probably misremembering based on the gameplay of the One Free Bullet achievement playthrough.
7:41 so funny thing about that map, it was actually made in a program named Inkarante. It's a tool designed to create maps for fantasy settings like for a DnD campaign, I used it myself as well.
I was going to comment this as well! That map looks like something I might've made when I was just learning how to use Inkarnate. It's not terrible but if you've ever used it before you could recognize the stock assets immediately.
The first game has a real ShadowMan vibe - not just the "Jaunty" fellow you meet but everything about it feels like someone trying to translate a specific dream they had into polygons.
I love how many really rough single-developer games there are about relatively obscure religions and mythologies. I always hope to learn something about a topic I know nothing about, but have yet to see one of those games that goes any deeper than just some enemy appearance or names. It makes me want to see someone make a game in that style about something everyone knows, just as a tribute to the accidental genre. I, for one, would love to play some trippy looking, buggy nightmare where you play as Jesus parrying the attacks of sinners by turning your other cheek and then spending hours wandering a poorly textured room looking for tiny loaves and fish.
don't worry, you only need to collect 5 fish and 2 loaves and that will be enough for everyone
First game had some really neat mechanics and ideas
thx you man, i have much work in that kkk
Compared to the usual drivel you play all these games didn't seem that bad (well except the last one) like they actually had some heart or good ideas in them. Your shadow turning into an enemy in the Inner Demons was pretty cool though it seems like the controls are the scariest thing about the game.
2nd one is absolute cancer.
It's scary how relatable the performance art of a segment the whole hospital 9 experience was.
Rina and you had great chemistry on set. I laughed, got creeped out, then sad, and at the end questioned the whole reality of my existence.
Like am I in a dream right now or are my memories a dream...
Anyways I'm glad I snapped out of it to get reassured and realize that Girlfriends are indeed not real
You are right there are no such things as girlfriends
Today we learned that Wicked Wizard have a great moral compass - he doesn't hit people with an axe on their birthdays.
5 games?! Wiz, you are spoiling us! And now I have something to watch while I'm having dinner, I can't complain :D
The whole camera angle concept with The Inner Demons isn't really anything new, it is just a slight change to the fixed camera angles that were used in early survival horror games like the original Resident Evil trilogy.
I think we are just getting old so things that are old to us are now new again.
It also seems like it was done worse than RE since it didn't have tank controls, meaning if you were holding forward and the camera was behind you, but then suddenly went in front of you your character immediately spins around and goes the way it came
The funny thing with RE tank controls is that it's practically 1st controls in a 3rd person game with fixed cameras.
@@thatoneguy3408 I'm pretty sure RE did analog control with fixed camera and it worked
@@creepypato3984 they did for the REMAKE, and it did work, but it still wasn't as clean as just using Tank. Either way though, it was cleaner than what this appears to be
7:40 yes, that map is custom made! It's made in Inkarnate, i recognize the assets used for it. Props to the devs for putting effort into the game
Not sure it classifies as custommade if it's made with a map maker
@@enderkatze6129to be fair, most larger developers have dedicated level designers. This seems to have been made by one person. Art, programming, level design... that's a lot of work. Even if they're using map makers or stock character rigs.
@@Inveterate-introvert yeah i know, but it's Not custom.
@@Inveterate-introvert Enviroment artists make the maps (in the way you speak about), not the level designers. But otherwise you are right
why do we have so many 🤓 here
25:05 i Love how u can press E to read whats on the Letter. But its smaler then when u just look at the paper xD
Bouncy arrows truly are the greatest invention in the history of traps
Nice video, bro!
I must say I'm kind of intrigued by FolcDark, I loved the developer's idea of turning our folclore into a game. Yes, it needs a little shaping here and there but it has lots of potential.
As a brazilian I'm very happy to see that people are interested in our folclore (mythology) and I'm really looking forward to see the next part of the game :3
Muito obrigado pelas palavras maninho !
I know that mummy game must be incredibly frustrating to play with how janky it is, but I can't stop but smile about how it goes. Constantly stepping in bear traps, shooting mummies and collecting their souls, statues that emit steam from their crotch, a pistol that uses shotgun shells and can't shoot straight, and the absolutely ridiculous amount of arrows that have wonky physics on top.
The first one has potential, I hope they get to work on it more
hey man thx, I'm working to improve each more, recently i released a DLC free !
hospital 9 said "lets take all the Ashly escort parts of RE4 and make that a game"
Riot of Willy, for it being a mascot horror, has some potential.
Better than garten of banban
@@Strix2031 that's a really Low bar
it seems at least partially ironic and self-aware which is good.
mascot horror is going to be hard to pull off at this point what with the BanBan's and Poppy Playtime stuff, and their absurd amounts of backtracking on top of some obscure and obtuse puzzles to push that playtime over 2 hours.
this one however didn't have any obtuse and obscure puzzles, actually had checkpoints from the looks of it, unlike BanBan, no absurdly lengthy monologues, it wasn't overly serious, so on so forth.
reminds me a little bit of some other more ironic mascot horror. It's not just a funny from what i got though.
surprisingly fine, and not just comparatively. it looked alright as a game, and just a game.
compared to the rest of the modern mascot horror genre though? it's a masterpiece. a work of art.
@@bigbananabill The best recent one was "My friendly neighborhood" and that one felt more like Bioshock than mascot horror ngl
No more mascot horror please. Enough.
I dig the aesthetics of Riot of Willy. Not into this type of spoopy jumpscare game, but I really appreciate the stylised models, even though my first impression was rather negative on them.
23:15 That jump cut tho😂 Glock made the jawlock
The unalive sound effect in The Mummy Pharaoh is stock sound effect that was bundled with The Games Factory which you could use to make terrible games for windows 98. I would use this sound effect a lot, brings me back.
Also, have to give credit to Riot of Willy, being turned into a monster is my actual fear.
Hmm mines old age
@@fordshojoe8080same thing! 😂
just say the death sound effect
A 50 minute long Wiz video?! We really have been blessed this spooky season!
The little jingle in the second game with the monster in the box is “Still Doll” music box version by Kanon Wakeshima. I thought it sounded familiar but I feel using japans music is gonna get this creator in trouble because they are super strict on copyright stuff.
Maybe that stuff is in public domain?
nope. cause i got flagged on it back in the day on a different channel. i had 2 japanese songs and both were flagged and were the only ones. japan is VERY strict on giving their music out. most songs from japan on Spotify are even region locked. It is the music box version of the song so it'll be harder to find but if this song is ever made public to Japan's record companies and they find out the game also costs money to buy then the creator could be facing a lawsuit.@@blackroberts6290
I thought I was the only one that noticed lol, such an old song but a classic xd
But yeah, it’s pretty risky especially if the game is monetized.
Thank you for know the song and artist lmao. I sat here banging my head on my desk trying to remember what/where I heard it before. I got majorly into Kanon Wakeshima like. In high school forever ago. It would've drove me nuts if you hadn't posted this comment. lmao. Too true about the copyright stuff tho.
So glad that other people recognized Kanon’s music at once! Her work was remarkably formative for me when I discovered her in high school, so hearing her music in an indie horror game was such a surprise! The dev definitely needs to be careful, though; copyright strikes and cease-and-desists suck to deal with.
In the pharo game the death sound sounds like LEGO Yoda dying...
Honestly FolcDark seems like a genuinely good game. The graphics and animations (mostly animations) could definitely use some work but the other things seem genuinely well made
thx man, i'm working to improve it !
Also for inner demons the constant light flickering was starting to give headaches
I don’t like how this channel doesn’t have more subs, your vids are like unique. A mixture of in-depth analysis, gameplay, ect.
It’s ok, I will become the pirate king 👒
why does hospital 9 look like a goddamn fallout 4 horror mod?
Honestly, FolcDark has ALOT of promise, this could be great
Cruelty Squad exists, so extremely colorful games surely have a market. And it touches brazilian mythology, something not seen in games.
They really just need to polish all the jank, that's all it needs. Honestly it can be an enjoyable game
A lot is 2 words
@@themug406 i don't care
@@usbgamers123 i agree.
the solo dev is clearly competent. no gamebreaking bugs, consistent and surprisingly good visual design, good controls and reasonably solid combat.
It doesn't seem like they're particularly experienced, but they definitely know what they're doing and how to make a game, and are clearly passionate as well.
some polish and shine and the dev has got a pretty decent game. I find myself interested in a game Wiz has showcased for a reason that's actually convinced me to keep an eye on the game.
LOL I knew that video now, I want to thank you to the review of my game, I am the dev of folcdark and I am working alone in that game a 1 one year and some months, many of things with a problems in that video I corrected in the past months
for now I am working to better the game each more with base in the reviews that receive.
thank you very much wiz !!
Yo meu caro se tu precisa de ajuda com tradução pro inglês manda msg q traduzo pra tu
I like how the lady in The Inner Demons is wearing a red latex top
"Aw, geez, Rick. There's...there's monsters in this, in this laboratory..."
I’m sure any game on this channel would be spooky, even if they are not spooky themed…
Gotta give Folcdark some props, that's a nice representation of the Mapinguari.
You and "qzeq" are the best two channels for hilarious game content. You honor us with your service.
I swear the music box song at 16:00 is from Vampire Knight. It's a music box version of the ending.
I hate big media companies overstepping their bounds but if one of them copystriked this game I don't think anyone would be sad. They definitely aren't using it in fair use.
Every time you mention some information that we've literally just seen ourselves, it reminds me of when Peter learned that Eivel Kneivel was born in Montana 😆
Is that Still Doll from Vampire Knight, playing from that music box in Riot of Willy?
I can’t believe the third game friendzones you in the tutorial!
Idk why, but I'm RLY digging that "sprint" animation in the 1st game... 🤷😆
XD the death yell in the last game!
I check my Steam Discovery Queue generally everyday and this is the kind of garbage I get served up constantly, so thank you for this
Great video as always Wiz!
The first game had some good elements, definitely has potential, the rest were… meh? 😶
Edit: I watched the video again, and I think that “meh?” from my part was hasty (not gonna remove it though, not gonna pretend that I didn’t say it). There are some good ideas and elements in some of these games and even though they show similarity with other games, they still made with passion. Just passion doesn’t make a game automatically a good game of course, The Mummy Pharaoh for one is just all over the place, even though the basic idea (hunting for treasures while avoiding traps and killing enemies) isn’t bad.
Just found you this morning from recommendations, and I binged most of your videos already. Thank you for the entertainment.
Loved these, some actually cool ideas even if the games overall aren’t amazing.
More of these long form but edited videos would be nice to see
44:25 when the game makes you curious until you forget to reload
What a delight Folcdark was huh! I'm enamoured, will definitely be following that. Shame it was followed by Riot of Willy...
thx man ! i had a lot of work in FolcDark, and I am yet working it, i stay very happy to see many people appreciate my game
Steam truly is the spookiest of storefronts. It’s like a digital Spirit Halloween.
To be fair you have to go searching for the trash and at least it doesn't have NFT scam games like the Epic store.
Wiz going "oh wow there's actually some kinda mechanics here!" with genuine surprise made me laugh, it really says something about how low the bar is
OMFG all of Wiz interactions with Rina had me ROTFL!!! 😂 bravo, good sir 👏
the first game felt like a school project and, as a Brazilian, I've been seen some of those already
Riot of Willy seemed was bordering on satire with how often I audibly laughed at it, especially the very low energy "oh shit theres monsters in this house" at 13:20 sounded like a delivery straight out of rick and morty.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite RUclips channels
Damn, that Serious Sam remake is looking really good!
Mate you need to make some more of these!! Being a British Canadian and watching your content makes me more proud to be apart of your channel!! Cheers from a Brit in Canada!!
and we love you Wiz, dont stop making content!
riot of willy has to be satire i refuse to believe its serious
I've come to really enjoy your videos my dude. IDK why but they take me back to feeling like a kid. I appreciate what ya do my dude. Thanks Wiz
the map in that first one is custom made - sort of. I recognise the style and assets used as that of the Inkarnate map builder: the gamedev would have made the map themselves, but the assets and styling are all default by the looks of it.
This was a good time man!
I just learned of Brazilian folklore from a close friend and seeing that first game felt like fate
Why are these games so spook ah? I was not expecting this.
14:30, a stock sound in FL Studio, I love hearing old sounds being used, its the ghost voice sound.
Babe wake up, another Wicked Wizard upload!
That yellow overlay in the Mummy Pharaoh would set my migraines in a tailspin for a month. Kudos to getting through that because what an eyesore.
"look at this guy, he just ran into the axes. whan an idiot" was a prophecy
Hospital 9 gave me horrible flashbacks of a game I played a long time ago... I can't remember what it was called but it was a horror game where you had a girl following you around that you were supposed to keep safe but they made it where not only could she be killed by the monsters but you could kill her too (resulting in a game over~)
I don't think I ever beat that game because I'd always end up shooting her cause she'd teleport in front of a door I just opened and scare the shit out of me :(
That first game is pretty good, huh.
This is Good. Love these kinds of vids.
‘I think it’s time to meet Rina’
*head-butts player*
lol, the inner demons dev has no idea how to make characters rotate based on camera orientation so he made the absolute movement a puzzle itself.
"Willy and his wife Wally" 🤣 literally almost shat myself laughing.
They are very good roomates
Therapist: It's alright. Gorilla Wiz doesn't exist. He can't hurt you.
Gorilla Wiz: 44:27
love the content man
I love me some spook ah games.
It was pitch black dark at 2 PM in the beginning cutscene of that Willy game.
Bouncy arrows is the most baffling design decision I've seen in a good while.
For most of the Folcdark segment I though Wiz was filming his gameplay on his monitor with his phone...then I realized the game actually looks like that.
Inner Demons reminded me of another short game, "The Possession experiment".
The Willy intro cutscene looks alarmingly like the Poppy Playtime VHS tape but slightly reskined and with different Audio over it
Inner Demons plays like a Little Big Planet game with old resident evil vibes.
7:40 that map was made with a free online program called Inkarnate. Those are the default assets included with it.
Inner Demons has an interesting gameplay style.
I kinda like it, I hope they do more games like it.
I am soooo glad I found your channel!!! I don't know what it is about your videos but man I just love them!!!
bro was shooting real cops while hallucinating lol
the map made in inkarnate was funny to me for some reason, just didn't expect it.
the camera implementation on the 4th game reminded me of Resident Evil DS.
This guy is now my new favorite british youtuber!
Honestly, if the first one did something with the camera in combat, for a showcase, it would be pretty darn decent.
Hospital 9 is using a common used horror VRChat asset map
That map in Hospital 9 looks really familiar and I cant remeber why aside from a VRChat Horror game.
11:57 - Is that cut scene a capture of Slender? Everyone remembers that game right? Where you wonder around in the woods and collect pages attached to trees.
