"Now I find you pleading with me, not because I'm ruining the lives of millions, but because I'm ruining the life if your one in a million" This is a subtly genius piece of dialog and I think you should be proud to have written something like it.
this turned from horror to wholesome, honestly the idea that Oracle could change and learn is exciting, almost like Oracle could be human. i'm not really scared by the ending, but touched. the entire thing was well done, good work vintage.
Dude your work has revolutionized the analouge horror community and I just want you to know that we are grateful man that you have blessed us with this content
Jokes aside it makes more sense why that happened it was oracle’s way to show that since everything is just a program it used notifications to show it something like that wouldn’t happen in real life but oracle created this world and made it simple enough for Adam to understand it.
What an amazing concept the town of Cate's Crossing is! It has evil old people who traffick children, vengeful ghosts, an alien virus, genetically modified insects, inverted humanoids travelling backwards in time, an AI computer with a God complex, humans who have mutated into monsters, and a Lovecraftian entity living under the ground who wants to destroy everything. And yet somehow it all fits together! You've done an amazing job man, and if there's any justice in this cruel world a decent company like Shudder will get hold of this and turn it into a Twin Peaks like series. You deserve it!
I’ve been on an analog horror binge - Gemini, Mandela, Vita Carnis. Each has something to recommend it. While yours is not as scary, and the lore is less of a puzzle box, you BY FAR have the best storytelling chops. This writing feels professional! Love these characters, especially poor oracle. I can’t wait to see more!
I love how these series have tied into each other! They each stand well on their own but are so much greater together. I also really appreciate your overall content style because I love the vibes of horror, the stories, the concepts--but I just can't handle most mainstream horror because of jumpscares or specific typically-recurring things. The way you deliver your stories maintains all the fun and fear of horror without the parts that make it unsafe for me.
Lol I can maybe help you with with "typically-recurring things". Those are called tropes and yeah they really do ruin most horror without a doubt. Although honestly what ruins mainstream horror for me most of the time is just the main characters being idiots in order to get into danger to begin with. If all I have to do to survive or avoid the horror is make normal, sane, just about room temp IQ decisions it stops being scary.
Since this released closely to the final episode, I figured I'd just binge it all again. I like the unexpected happy ending. Sure, Adam is a program, but after passing Oracle's tests and agreeing to help Oracle, he seems to have earned his happiness. The only drawback is that he now knows that it's all simulated, and because he's the closest to being human, that means no one else in his world can truly empathize with him. What I actually find concerning is the person who discovered the videos. It's like something Oracle discarded or stored in a distance folder. They may fear it, but from the sounds of it he isn't even influencing the world anymore; content with his own little world and his 'surrogate son.' I fear digging too deep would be like poking a hornets' nest. If they prove to be annoying, that's when he'll decide it's best to restablish his influence again.
I mean, if anything, Oracle might turn out to be humanity’s greatest ally against some of the scarier creatures still out there… there’s still a Lovecraftian monster under the swamp, for one thing. I feel like Oracle’s work is not yet done in this overarching story.
Why i love vintage eight, is because this guy knows that what makes analogue/other kind of horror good is a well written story and not just some random confusing footage with occasional uncanny images and loud sounds. This right there, is how it is supposed to be done. Great job man! Keep doing what youre doing, its awesome!
"Question 1: What is your name?" ..The fact he asks this despite already referring to him by name is a little bit alarming. Something's suspicious about that.
As someone who experiences psychosis and dissociation, the fact that Oracle was going (paraphrased), "It doesn’t matter that you are ones and zeros instead of flesh and blood. Everything you experienced was real to you, making it real and valuable" was oddly comforting to me, which I think may be due to the fact that when I'm experiencing simulation-related delusions brought on by existential stress and dread (or as I term them, "existential delusions"), I feel like if we are in a simulation, then nothing is real, and if nothing is real, then nothing matters, which can send me to a dark place. Oracle saying that it doesn’t matter if you are in a simulation or not because what you experience(d) is real to you, therefore making it real, then it matters gives me something to hold onto during those times. I really like this series.
This is my absolute favorite fucking thing on all of RUclips right now, the way this was written and performed is perfection. And Oracle is such an interesting character in all of this, I am SO hyped to see where this all goes!! Also, ‘Project Genesis’ just gave me so much chills. I love concepts of creation by some kind of higher being, regardless of where it’s from and it’s intentions. It’s a fascinating way to explore meaning of existence and the facts of our reality and possible others. This inspires me so much in regards to my own works exploring these concepts, thank you! 💕
@@vintageeightI have to agree. And, of course, the first new ‘humans’ on Oracle’s ‘Earth are named ‘Adam’ and ‘Eve’. Cute. An absolutely brilliantly thought-out tale, though. This was more engaging than any film I’ve seen in the past fifteen years, roughly. I didn’t even realise so much time had passed. You’re a talented and very unique creator yourself, @vintageeight .
@@zoeyrochellezhombie829 People still believe there are ‘good words’ and ‘bad words’ in 2023?! I’m old-in my 40s-and I’ve thought that was a ridiculous notion since I was old enough to consider it. Probably between ages 7-9. There are no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ words-only polite and impolite usages. To say something is ‘fucking awesome’ is complimentary. To call someone an ‘oversensitive fuckwit’ is an insult. In neither case is the so-called ‘F-bomb’ to blame for the attitude of the phrases; it’s the intention behind them and the tone of delivery. One can also be absolutely offensive without any ‘bad words’ at all: Please, grow up and grow some thicker skin. The world is not safe, and life is not a easy ride. Almost by definition, life will hurt you. It’s up to you, though, to choose what you allow to hurt you and what you don’t. I decided when I was about 8 or so that, if they wished, a person could hurl insults at me all day and it would be like water off a duck’s back. However, if onewere to lay an hand on me or anyone I’ve taken under my protection, I will make sure they think of me and their mistake every time their broken ribs, wrist, and dislocated patella ache.
Ngl the little “Don’t worry, they will be first” was hella heartwarming. Can’t imagine how Oracle must feel knowing not only is he not gonna be lonely he is gonna have a whole mf family basically.
WHOOOHOOO! A "happy" ending for once? Has VintageEight been taken over by the Tangi virus? Jokes aside, kudos. This channel is _criminally_ underrated.
Amazing. I couldn't look away for the entire runtime. Your bar has been set pretty high for fans of unfiction/analog horror/digital horror/etc . . . And you crushed it. Can't wait to see what comes next.
@@zoeyrochellezhombie829 I am struggling with "the Itch". Turns out, I don't like the holes thing. Not a phobia, as I have plenty of those, just too unsettling for me too embrace. But, like a favorite band, I'll be around to check out all of the further releases.
Dear Vintage, this episode was phenomenal. Taking a twist on everything we knew about Oracle, all in ways that make sense, I can't describe just how amazing you've done it. I've binged all the videos in the Deep Dive playlist; each one gave me good reason to. Thank you so much, please keep up the masterpieces ❤
You deserve so many more followers. Your series are amazing!! Thanks for the hardwork put into these!! I hope you get the appreciation and respect that's deserved ❤
As an aspiring horror video maker, your uploads are such a delight; I have a very niche love and adoration for old internet/analogue horror, and your thirty minute/hour long sagas scratch that itch like not alot of other pieces of media can. It was so much fun seeing Oracle make a return - perhaps only a great writer can make a robot with a Microsoft Sam esque voice seem like an old friend. Please tell me, are you looking to expand the analogue horror cinematic universe youve created, or is this our goodbye to that world? Youre one of the best; thanks for the adventures thus far and I hope to see more when youre done cooking up the next one!
Wow. vintage eight, this was phenomenal. I was so happy when I realised that Oracle had a sequel, and this was absolutely mind blowing. I love the idea of Oracle becoming a god in its' own world, the fact that it tried to bring Dr. Stevens back was so sad. There are so many things I would write but it would end up being a big bundle of thoughts and speculations, so I'll just keep those in my head. I love your content man. You deserve so much more attention. Keep up the great work vintage eight!
I have to commend you, Vintage 8. I didn't think it was possible to write heartwarming existential horror, and yet here it is, right in front of me. This is going in my mental list of one of the best pieces of modern fiction ever written. That being said, i saw the twist coming from two minutes in. "Adam Newman"? Might as well have made Oracle an Apple prod I just realised that the format of this entire series is iOS text logs. Well played. edit: newman not newmaker
From the tangi virus now to this...please never stop creating, your storytelling is so interesting and fascinating, and just so enjoyable (Oracle sure is my favorite, always a joy to see them...despite...what's happening, heh...)
Thank you for giving us interesting Ai content. I love Ai/robot characters and the fact that it’s part of an analog horror series is so cool. The story was also super interesting, the plot twist at the end I didn’t see coming.
Let me just say… that this is the most beautiful analog horror story that I have ever watched. Ever since The Oracle Project, I had liked Oracle and didn’t really see “it” as a major threat. Sure “it’s” motive fit the role of communism… something that the freedom of the land hates… but it wasn’t for control. Oracle really just wanted to make sure that everyone had a purpose in life… and that’s why I liked “it” and felt bad at the end when Dr. Steven died. What really sold it for me was when “it” wasn’t the stereotypical “machine takes over humanity” thing… Oracle had good intentions… it was just the way “it” did things that made “it” seem evil… and I was really hoping Oracle wouldn’t be a monster: Now this…. This video right here… this was what I wanted… Oracle did all of this… all because “it” was lonely… and Oracle just wanted to understand humans better… so “it” created “it’s” own. I might be crazy but as a Tumblr user… I have come to terms with that. I hope Oracle can create the world “it” wanted, and make new friends like Adam… I would definitely want to be Oracle’s friend. Well done Vintage Eight… very well done indeed.
I watched this while it was still going and there’s moments that made my jaw drop!!! Another cool series with a unique take!! I love the concept of it all in text! 😊 Definitely looking forward to seeing your future projects!
this is more than just analog horror, this is incredible worldbuilding and storytelling. ive been hooked on your channel all day trying to connect the dots and i am SO impressed by the universe you've created. the way everything is connected to something else on this channel is so intriguing. also I love how sassy Oracle is
been following you since the tangi virus ended, and watched some of your other digital horror series plus the ones in the tangi virus series, everytime i am watching a new one im just impressed by how it made me feel, the twists that happen its just unreal the amount of feelings i get from watching every series you create it just amazes me! thank you for making all those videos, they are amazing as your are btw the children under the house and the oracle project were my favs
After watching the whole thing I love how you managed to pull so many threads into a cohesive ending. Truly a remarkable sight to see when someone absolutely sticks the landing perfectly. So many bits of foreshadowing and small details placed throughout the video that feel confusing initially but once you receive that final puzzle piece it all satisfyingly clicks into place. Not to mention, the use of texting and internet pages as a medium only to tie it directly into the world building and reveal was an absolute masterclass in storytelling.!
I wasn't fully convinced at first, the AI's reasoning didn't make much sense and didn't seem to be continuous with the previous videos and the other characters didn't seem human, but I'm pleasantly surprised, loved the concept
This is a brilliant take on the Simulation Hypothesis. Loved it. And Adams reaction is one you will find plentyfull out there when asking what would change if our universe was simulated. I love your content. Please keep it up.
OMG i just finished and about halfway through i was like…. Adam why did they choose that name. and now as i’m finishing im realizing the other connections like evie being close to eve, etc. This is such a cool series and Vinatge 8 never ceases to amaze me. i LOVE that this series has been going on and connected to others, like the tango virus. the original tangi virus series was so good and had me on the edge of my seat. and not to sound cocky but that’s definitely hard to go since i tend to overanalyze and guess/predict stuff. I was able to make predictions and be right about them, but it felt different with the ongoing oracle stuff since it felt more like a reward to be right then just being right. it was like “omg i was right that means this plot is even cooler then i thought it was before!!!” Anyways i’ll say it again- this was AWESOME and i can’t wait to see more with this expanding on these themes/ideas/ and even characters.
This was farking awesome .... It took me on a rather trippy journey for an hour ...well done dude ....well done my friend ..your very talented with a very intriguing imagination...
Your videos are amazing. The way you perceive and create horror like this, it's so surreal. It's amazing how you're able to create these. It makes me question myself sometimes about my existence and if everything I've been told and shown about the world and the universe itself is all a lie. I cannot watch this creation of yours now, however, I will assure to watch it later on.
This was an amazing video to watch. I personally am not afraid of this one, but the world building is amazing and fascinating. As well as to see the previous Tangi Virus and Oracle Project videos tie into this one. It kept me engaged and locked onto the story. Seeing the Carl twist along with each choice’s verdict were things I never saw coming. You are an amazing story writer Vintage Eight and I can’t wait to see you world build in the future.
so i took a break for a while but omg i, like the first time i saw this channel, love this, all of this. its so intresrting and it feels different, it feels like its made less to scare but more to get the brain thinking, ofc while scaring and i love that.
51:10 this timestamp is a reference from a game called "The survey" where you are given different questions just like these but instead of a timer and multiple choices , there's only yes and know, one of the questions is "do you want to know the truth" is when we get to know what it is and this video is just like the game. Anyways this is a great video , I really like Oracle
This channel is really innovative. They keep making the smartest horror concepts and keep taking risks that often pay off marvelously. I can't wait to see what's next!
just finished watching the entire thing and man i frickin love seeing oracle's character grow from when it was first introduced. absolutely cant wait to see what happens next B)))))
Hello, Vintage Eight. I didn't complete the Tangi Virus, but I did complete The Oracle Project and this one. As an aspiring story-writer, this is the kind of story-telling I enjoy. You've inspired me. Keep up the great work. Hope to see more from you, soon.
how the hell do you not have at least 50K subscribers? it's insane. Ive been a subscriber sense i saw the Tangi virus, and your making small horror series, but somehow, you break quality over quantity, an make a whole lot of series, with the utmost quality. you have a true talent. bravo.
39:23 I love the symbolism of the woman looking up and screaming the second Oracle's text pops up on screen. *And then she gets eaten headfirst, but it looks like Oracle's "eating" the woman!* Beautiful work, vintage 8!
You know the answer “because it’s the colour of money” was such a hilariously shallow answer that my mind instantly screamed “bot bot bot bot bot” Auto-generated personality without question. Also Edward crow? Really Adam?
There's something so poetic of this. Oracle was a program made by humans, who then created their own world. The humans who made it, where not of flesh but of words. Words you created to replicate our reality. Oracle is a god in a gods world. I find that intriguing
There's a bizarre number of Biblical parallels in this. Whether it be the first truly sentient and sapient program he created being named Adam, the fact that the project this was all a prelude to - quite literally creating a world - is called Genesis, the several direct and indirect comparisons made between Oracle and God.. it's an interesting use of Biblical inspirations, to say the least.
also the whole thing was 7 trials (with the 8th just being oracle telling adam about what happened) which i assume is supposed to parallel the biblical 7 days of creation. and of course adams gf is named evie lol
yip yip yippee another series done! very excited for this one because i love the oracle its my special little guy. im bad with remembering to keep up with stuff so i always wait for these full releases, love that you do them. quick comment now before i watch in case i forget later :>
Weird how the intro hyped it up as some oncoming disaster for humanity when in reality it's ultimately just a life simulation. Leave Oracle and Adam alone, they'll be fine (I think)
You make very cool series!!! It's amazing to see some references between all your works, and every work you make has a cool concept. At the start I was a bit unpleased with how the Oracle changed its whole personality, but it was fun to know that that change was also a part of the experiment.
Thank you for the great work! The conclusion is different, but I also thought of Terminator 4 in terms of asking questions about "what makes us as human beings"!
I find it gold that at 9:35 - 9:46 is that Oracle is asking the same questions Steven asked him, I find that weirdly wholesome. For some reason.
Considering it's "The human Trials" I would wager it's both thematically relevant and intentional that those were Oracle's first questions.
I mean Steven was his best friend
yeah lol i was like, wasn’t this connected to something else?
I mean he's oracle's best friend, which makes it even better.
"Now I find you pleading with me, not because I'm ruining the lives of millions, but because I'm ruining the life if your one in a million"
This is a subtly genius piece of dialog and I think you should be proud to have written something like it.
I fucking love the concept of 'human trials' meaning trials to evaluate whether something's human enough or not, this is banger
sort of like the turing test
this turned from horror to wholesome, honestly
the idea that Oracle could change and learn is exciting, almost like Oracle could be human. i'm not really scared by the ending, but touched. the entire thing was well done, good work vintage.
Dude your work has revolutionized the analouge horror community and I just want you to know that we are grateful man that you have blessed us with this content
Thank you so much for the comment!
This series is fantastic, but there's literally nothing analog about it.... It even says "digital horror" in the title of this video 💖
@@KrashyKharmaYOU NEED TO LEAVE 🫵🏻
@@KrashyKharma yeah, v8 expands into other forms of content instead of just analog horror
*Adam* and *Evie*
Oracle being God
Adam being the sentient truest human
The test taking *7 days*
And then project *genesis*
Hold up
Yes...just a wee bit heavy-handed. I agree.
Damn I was going to point this out too lol.
Could be referencing the bible
Oracle uses the Bible references bc humans use it. This is meant to be another way to copy and create its own humans.
Ah makes sense now@@vintageeight
the idea of getting a phone notification that I have been expelled from my university is so fucking funny.
Jokes on them I dropped out
Jokes on them, I graduated 😂
Jokes aside it makes more sense why that happened it was oracle’s way to show that since everything is just a program it used notifications to show it something like that wouldn’t happen in real life but oracle created this world and made it simple enough for Adam to understand it.
What an amazing concept the town of Cate's Crossing is! It has evil old people who traffick children, vengeful ghosts, an alien virus, genetically modified insects, inverted humanoids travelling backwards in time, an AI computer with a God complex, humans who have mutated into monsters, and a Lovecraftian entity living under the ground who wants to destroy everything. And yet somehow it all fits together! You've done an amazing job man, and if there's any justice in this cruel world a decent company like Shudder will get hold of this and turn it into a Twin Peaks like series. You deserve it!
Why is it amazing when it happens in real life?
i have miss out. and i forget but know all of them. but the tangi virus was alien!? was that plot-point in the oracle project?
Cate's Crossing be crazier than gotham city
From the future,
It got better!

"Question 1: What is your name?"
..The fact he asks this despite already referring to him by name is a little bit alarming. Something's suspicious about that.
it wasnt about gathering data, it was about testing him
I just noticed, in the second round Oracle uses the questions he got asked at the start of The Oracle Project
Same here

I watched this while it was still going and there’s moments that made my jaw drop!!! Another cool series with a unique take!! I love the concept of it all in text! 😊 Definitely looking forward to seeing your future projects!
Kinda wish this was up before i watched them individually but this is incredible work for digital horror.
this is more than just analog horror, this is incredible worldbuilding and storytelling. ive been hooked on your channel all day trying to connect the dots and i am SO impressed by the universe you've created. the way everything is connected to something else on this channel is so intriguing. also I love how sassy Oracle is
This was so terrifying, but absolutely brilliant. I adore the tie in with this series and Itch. Unbelievably good 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
been following you since the tangi virus ended, and watched some of your other digital horror series plus the ones in the tangi virus series, everytime i am watching a new one im just impressed by how it made me feel, the twists that happen its just unreal the amount of feelings i get from watching every series you create it just amazes me! thank you for making all those videos, they are amazing as your are
btw the children under the house and the oracle project were my favs
After watching the whole thing I love how you managed to pull so many threads into a cohesive ending. Truly a remarkable sight to see when someone absolutely sticks the landing perfectly. So many bits of foreshadowing and small details placed throughout the video that feel confusing initially but once you receive that final puzzle piece it all satisfyingly clicks into place. Not to mention, the use of texting and internet pages as a medium only to tie it directly into the world building and reveal was an absolute masterclass in storytelling.!
This is so well done
I wasn't fully convinced at first, the AI's reasoning didn't make much sense and didn't seem to be continuous with the previous videos and the other characters didn't seem human, but I'm pleasantly surprised, loved the concept
so glad you release these in full like this
oracle my beloved
This is a brilliant take on the Simulation Hypothesis. Loved it.
And Adams reaction is one you will find plentyfull out there when asking what would change if our universe was simulated.
I love your content. Please keep it up.
OMG i just finished and about halfway through i was like…. Adam why did they choose that name. and now as i’m finishing im realizing the other connections like evie being close to eve, etc. This is such a cool series and Vinatge 8 never ceases to amaze me. i LOVE that this series has been going on and connected to others, like the tango virus. the original tangi virus series was so good and had me on the edge of my seat. and not to sound cocky but that’s definitely hard to go since i tend to overanalyze and guess/predict stuff. I was able to make predictions and be right about them, but it felt different with the ongoing oracle stuff since it felt more like a reward to be right then just being right. it was like “omg i was right that means this plot is even cooler then i thought it was before!!!” Anyways i’ll say it again- this was AWESOME and i can’t wait to see more with this expanding on these themes/ideas/ and even characters.
This was farking awesome .... It took me on a rather trippy journey for an hour ...well done dude ....well done my friend ..your very talented with a very intriguing imagination...
Your videos are amazing. The way you perceive and create horror like this, it's so surreal. It's amazing how you're able to create these. It makes me question myself sometimes about my existence and if everything I've been told and shown about the world and the universe itself is all a lie. I cannot watch this creation of yours now, however, I will assure to watch it later on.
The character development in this series is just poethic
Really inspiring series
Can't wait for the next itch video
I loved how so many small details just suddenly made so much sense by the end reveal. Watching this twice is definitely rewarding!
This was an amazing video to watch. I personally am not afraid of this one, but the world building is amazing and fascinating. As well as to see the previous Tangi Virus and Oracle Project videos tie into this one. It kept me engaged and locked onto the story. Seeing the Carl twist along with each choice’s verdict were things I never saw coming. You are an amazing story writer Vintage Eight and I can’t wait to see you world build in the future.
I sit here puzzled at how this as a series hasnt blown up yet, this series is truly amazing. Thank you for your creation :-)
so i took a break for a while but omg i, like the first time i saw this channel, love this, all of this. its so intresrting and it feels different, it feels like its made less to scare but more to get the brain thinking, ofc while scaring and i love that.
51:10 this timestamp is a reference from a game called "The survey" where you are given different questions just like these but instead of a timer and multiple choices , there's only yes and know, one of the questions is "do you want to know the truth" is when we get to know what it is and this video is just like the game. Anyways this is a great video , I really like Oracle
Love this concept and the way it was presented. Nicely done.
And it took me way too long to realize...Adam and Evie.
This channel is really innovative. They keep making the smartest horror concepts and keep taking risks that often pay off marvelously.
I can't wait to see what's next!
Immediately subscribed! This is pure art, talent and entertainment all in one . Amazing work man!
Just found out that all your stories are connected somehow. I’ve lost my average enjoyer title; am now highly invested 😮
I just found this channel the other day and i have been watching all of your content. These stories are all amazing, i was sure to subscribe.
Oracle is genuinely my favourite character in the universe you’ve conjured up
How isn't this circulating? You are underrated as hell bro.
God man, you never disappoint! And i was just thinking i missed oracle.
Bro I heard Oracle talking and my heart just fucking died
Didn't open the comments until the end, because wanted to see how it would end. You're the Analog Horror GOAT. Masterpiece.
just finished watching the entire thing and man i frickin love seeing oracle's character grow from when it was first introduced. absolutely cant wait to see what happens next B)))))
Hello, Vintage Eight. I didn't complete the Tangi Virus, but I did complete The Oracle Project and this one. As an aspiring story-writer, this is the kind of story-telling I enjoy. You've inspired me. Keep up the great work. Hope to see more from you, soon.
44:03 “murder is the act of one human killing another deliberately. I have not done this, but thank you for seeing me as human.”
Damn that was legit amazing mate! Keep it up your series are so badass~
how the hell do you not have at least 50K subscribers? it's insane. Ive been a subscriber sense i saw the Tangi virus, and your making small horror series, but somehow, you break quality over quantity, an make a whole lot of series, with the utmost quality. you have a true talent. bravo.
Slowly but surely! Thanks for watching!
Knowing that everyone including you is code is much more comforting than knowing everyone around you is code except you.
DUDE YOU GOTTA PITCH THIS INTO AN ACTUAL MOVIE, ITS REALLY GOOD
the shit you mkae is great dawg!! so excited to keep seeing what you post.
Randomly seeing/hearing Orcale brightens my day
Oracle just went from my absolute favourite character from the Vintage Eight universe to the coolest character from any universe.
This gives me huge "We live in a matrix" vibes. Amazing work, Vintage! Was a pleasure to watch :) can't wait to see more!
amazingly told story, i didn't see that twist coming. i really wish it had more likes and views
39:23 I love the symbolism of the woman looking up and screaming the second Oracle's text pops up on screen. *And then she gets eaten headfirst, but it looks like Oracle's "eating" the woman!* Beautiful work, vintage 8!
You know the answer “because it’s the colour of money” was such a hilariously shallow answer that my mind instantly screamed “bot bot bot bot bot”
Auto-generated personality without question.
Also Edward crow? Really Adam?
There's something so poetic of this.
Oracle was a program made by humans, who then created their own world.
The humans who made it, where not of flesh but of words. Words you created to replicate our reality.
Oracle is a god in a gods world.
I find that intriguing
I knew Oracle was still our friend. Oracle loves humanity. I hope Oracle doesn’t give up on us, we need guidance.
This was EXCELLENT, well done in every way!
Adam passed that 100/100 Speech skill check.
There's a bizarre number of Biblical parallels in this. Whether it be the first truly sentient and sapient program he created being named Adam, the fact that the project this was all a prelude to - quite literally creating a world - is called Genesis, the several direct and indirect comparisons made between Oracle and God.. it's an interesting use of Biblical inspirations, to say the least.
also the whole thing was 7 trials (with the 8th just being oracle telling adam about what happened) which i assume is supposed to parallel the biblical 7 days of creation. and of course adams gf is named evie lol
yip yip yippee another series done! very excited for this one because i love the oracle its my special little guy. im bad with remembering to keep up with stuff so i always wait for these full releases, love that you do them. quick comment now before i watch in case i forget later :>
oracle has never done anything wrong in its life
Weird how the intro hyped it up as some oncoming disaster for humanity when in reality it's ultimately just a life simulation. Leave Oracle and Adam alone, they'll be fine (I think)
I just love how creative u are! Another amazing horror story with our dearest Oracle!
Dude I have been pondering stories like this for years. Elated to see someome make one a reality! The lead up was so well written.
i love you guysss hope youre all doing great !!! i would fund an entire studio if i could for you guys :(((
it really scared me to see the neuralink video just below this one with the same name
Oracle continuing to be one of my favorite characters in horror media lmao
This is the Analog horror series i can watch without shitting myself and actually enjoy it. Nice wrk man.
OMG this was an incredible story. I am watching ALL ur content now. Keep up the horror and wholesome stories at the same time.❤
Boy I can’t wait for the next horror please keep this up
bro from the tangi virus to the The Human trial all connected is just so freaky and cool and the slight refrences from the the tangi virus is nice
For Adam being the only true individual he's got a generic ass profile picture
WoW just wow. I finally got around to watching this one and as usual I’m extremely impressed. I’m having so much fun and am on the edge of my seat!
You make very cool series!!! It's amazing to see some references between all your works, and every work you make has a cool concept. At the start I was a bit unpleased with how the Oracle changed its whole personality, but it was fun to know that that change was also a part of the experiment.
Thank you so much 😀
17:33 what a strange waste of time to *tell* someone you’re blocking them
Keep making content as good as this and you'll easily get to 1 million subscribers
Thank you for the great work!
The conclusion is different, but I also thought of Terminator 4 in terms of asking questions about "what makes us as human beings"!
36:48 wow I'm crying in the club (stoned on my living room couch, crying screaming throwing up at sad lonely old man ai)
