Poor Johannes- my heart hurt for him. To endure so much pain and trauma... not only betrayed and left behind by his brother but then to come home and be tortured by his mother who couldnt accept/handle the truth of what had become of her favorite son. She literally cut bits of him off to make the dummy- his hair and even his flesh maked up the heart patch on the dummy's chest!
This game brought up a lot of issues - apart from what the family went through was the war itself. Landscapes totally devastated, millions of people and animals dead - it was like going through hell. And only 21 years later, they started up again. And we’re still doing it…..
Humans have waged war since we lived in caves. Give anything complex emotions, such as Anger and being Jealous of what others have that you yourself do not have, and conflict is imminent. Also "We're" not still doing it. The Rich and Powerful do it, while the not so rich and powerful die in the mud.
I watched two other RUclipsrs playing this game, and they didn't even try to figure out the plot and undrstand what happened to the characters. Of course, those RUclipsrs got the bad ending. I'm so glad that Chris got the good ending. I almost cried. It was such a good portrayal of trauma and PTSD. I could feel the pain of the main character and his brother.
I legit teamed up during that final scene. The near idyllic reunion with the faint sound of gunfire and screams of pain just barely there. Representation of Paul’s PTSD? Dying dream as he bleeds out on the battlefield? You’d think Johannes would be restored in the afterlife, so I choose to believe they really did get to come home.
This happens quite rarely to me, but the ending of this game was enough to make me moved and feel both pain and relief at a good ending. An extraordinary and amazing game, and CJU is always made many good decisions during the game. Well done!
I agree. This was such a solid ending and I am so glad the devs didn't leave us on a cliffhanger or dangle part of an ending in our faces. My only critique is that it doesn't make sense for the mom and dad to do a complete 180° turn from how they behaved the rest of the game, but oh well. It was still great to watch this playthrough and I'm happy that we got to see the good ending.
@mason74551 Well, maybe it's wishful thinking on the side of Paul - let's face it reality often times don't allow us anymore for that reconciliation to happen.
Kudos to the Hekate team. That was a really welll-crafted, engrossing game. As someone whose family has been career military for several generations, I really appreciate Hekate's thoughtful treatment of the ravages of war both on military members themselves and on the families who wait for them. Human dignity is, indeed, inviolable. I am _so_ glad that Chris' choices led to the good ending. Anything else would have been very distressing. Also, thank you, Chris, for treating this subject with the gravitas it deserves.
WHOA. What a game....Just...what a game. The pain I felt for poor Johannes especially cannot be put into words. 😭 This was so beautifully (if not tragically) done. Thank you for playing this, and kudos to the creators! (I had actually wondered if the disfigured person would end up being Paul, hence not being able to see yourself in the mirror until the end and having you go through the same route as "Johannes" at the beginning. I thought they might end up showing that the person who went that route and was blown up was actually Paul. I'm glad they did not.)
My heart. What an amazing story. Disregarding the horror elements, the story itself could have been based on true events. I am moved to tears. The horror elements of the game very well done. I don't feel like there were any cheap jumpscares. The very real horrors of war were more than enough. The monsters were very well done, very scary. The Officer representing the MCs guilt as both commander and survivor was incredibly well played, and the MC embracing him at the end was ... immensely moving. Sorry, I am still feeling emotional as I write this. A very well done story, and psychological horror. Thank you for sharing.
It was a great tribute to those who fall and those who lived. For the issues that the survivors and their loved ones go through after that calamity. I was sad as I thought, I do figured out that pilot was Paul after seeing the drawing of Paul as a pilot and Johannes as a bird but overall the fact they used the figure as a symbolic consolation was giving me sense of hope that was very needed. Thanks Chris for choosing this game to play! As always you make it more entertaining but also you did give your respect to the story when it should be. That's why you are the best!
Great game despite some bugs. It really looks amazing in this horrible setting as it should. It captures the horrors and madness of the trenches very well. The horrible things families and soldiers went through.😢
This was a wonderful playthrough to watch. I'm a new fan of yours, as my previous main horror game RUclipsr recently decided to stop playing horror games in favor of other types of content. A lot of that person's fanbase recommended you as a replacement and I'm glad that they did as I very much enjoy your content; particularly your ability to make written notes and documents interesting. A lot of RUclipsrs who play horror games on here stumble in that area, usually because their reading abilities aren't very good, whereas you have no such issues. Really pleased I subbed here, not only because of the high quality of your playthroughs but also the wonderful turnaround. I've got a lot of your content to catch up on but I'm impressed at how regularly you produce new videos. Keep up the good work!
That was both a satisfying and very satisfactory conclusion. On a design level, I immensely appreciated the sensitive yet appropriate visual treatment of Johannes' terrible physical disfigurement. I'm also glad he got a prosthetic arm, that he was drawing again, and that his gaze was direct, but sane. On a writing level, I was floored by the revelation that Paul had been held in a POW camp. That explained so, so much about how he even came to be wrestling with so many issues, when he was trained quite rigorously to ignore them all. I don't know what brought his parents to return to reality and focus on what was really important to them (each other and their family), but I'm glad they were able to. Well done to the entire Hekate team! Fabulous job🙂. And thank you for playing and sharing, CJU!
Thanks for your kind words❤ we would feel blessed if you leave us a good review on Steam or Metacritic if you enjoyed our game. Love, Lukas & Hekate Team.
This was such an amazing game 😢 I think that this game did what it set out to do . Remind us that no one wins in war even if you defeat your enemy there will always be a price to pay for that victory . It's never worth it be it human life or a country ravaged it's the people who will always suffer 😢 .
Ahhh thank you Chris! This was such a treat to watch you play. It's soooo good! So glad you got a good ending. I... love good endings in horror games. Really beautifully written and the voice acting was really good. Loved the horror elements and the creature designs we sooo SO good. Loved it.
Very happy I waited to watch your playthrough! This was giving me some Soma vibes a few times. Who knows if a story like this could ever have a true happy ending! Maybe at best Paul sees the error of his ways too late every time, and at worst he never sees them at all. I'd be excited to see more from this developer!
that ending was amazing, great game, great gameplay; tho ill admit, when i saw the bandaged up son oposit to the MC i got very sad and angry, so much so i started to tear up; survivors guilt is a very frightening thing.
Lovely visuals and design to a lovely game, as somber and tragic as it was. I felt like when I saw the family all holding hands, it felt more like gathering for a prayer of some sort... and I think after an event like the first World War, and them managing to miraculously survive through that, grateful prayers wouldn't be out of place.
Reminds of the 80s Nick Cage film "BIRDY". Two friends from the 60s, one into Ornithology, go to Vietnam. They come back injured, the one locked into a state. Cage as the bestie figures out what it is. Great theme "Birdy's Flight" by Peter Gabriel. It wasn't until the 80s that the US began to formally recognize Nam Vets and finally welcome them home, hence all the 80s Nam movies. The game's conclusion hit too close to home, so I'm speechless atm, but it was an awesome series.
Absolutely marvelous game!!! Loved watching this it had me completely invested the whole way through and the story was beautiful and dark. Thank you for playing cj and thank you to the devs for putting your heart and soul into this game it was a real treat!
Pretty common idea of that being The War To End All Wars. Also a pretty common idea that we collectively wish they'd been right about that. Yeah, this is a pretty good game.
I really liked this game. The story was very heavy and well developed. There are some bugs here and there, but overall it's a beautiful and very good game!
When I started watching the series I already had formed very strong opinions about the German leadership during the WW1, so this game hasn't changed that. What I couldn't help thinking about though was how this isn't too dissimilar to what I'm seeing today around me. War is a glorified ritual of human sacrifice with extra steps. Just throw in enough men hoping for a desired outcome. I hate it.
That was pretty good : great visuals, great audio (despite some audio glitches), solid voice acting (even though it is super weird to hear German soldiers voiced with British accents), and the game is well written, I really appreciated that. Only two complaints : it's way too dark at times as Chris mentioned, and I do believe several sections dragged on a bit too long, maybe the devs could have tightened things a bit here and there. But all in all, a very solid game !
I'm ok with this voice acting. I have an old principle about it. Make it all english regardless the story, intelligent viewer/player will get it OR make it full national languages with subtitles. Just don't do accents when you want to show only one perspective... :)
@@BASSOSOVIETICO1987 I would have loved it if the game was in German with subs, definitely (and it may be an option, idk). But don't get me wrong : I was fine with the use of English here, and I'm really glad they avoided doing a poor German accent (even if they did it super briefly with the French soldiers, and Madeleine). It's just the fact that sometimes they sounded SO British it pulled me out of the game a few times. See what I mean?
@@fredd3233 There is the original German dub of the game. I think he set his game to English, that is why the dialogue is in British English. You can also tell by how the officer's lips move. When you listen to it in the German dub along with the officer's lips, it feels more natural than in the english ver.
This game was a real treat and much better than expected. I really enjoyed the music and the bosses. I played through it myself and would watch your videos along after I finished certain areas. Another amazing job as usual my friend!
This was such an amazing game. Like at first I didn't watch to finish watching bc it wasn't my jam but I continued and wow I loved this game so much totally not what I expected so good
Would it be a stretch to say the switches that caused the birds to fly into their deaths was symbolism for how his decisoins as general cause the deaths of people?
A book I bought from a charity shop a long time ago was an account of the first world war; it was told through the letters and diaries of the soldiers and the civilians.
Wow. What a powerful game. To see both the soldiers and their familys suffer mentally and physically was hard to watch. The father was a tyrant through and through. The mother was already mentally unstable before her 'favorite' son came back disfigured. Why else would she tourture him!? Paul was young, and Johannes looked seriously scary to him being pinned on the barbed wire. War and expectations really do destroy people.
this lets play is my favourite I really liked this game altough the game got kinda depressing at times but I really liked that they got reunited at the end of the game and I really liked that there was so much action in the game and stealth too
I want to suggest a game actually. I know it is not a horror game directly but was released 2014 and is called Valiant Hearts. Becuase of the WW1 theme of this game I could imagine you'd like that game too. I'd totally understand if it doesn't fit the channel though. Absolutely loved this Let's Play and game even when i was skeptical first. Thank you for playing AD INFINITUM.
A great game. I did cry tears at the end. You got the good ending. I did enjoy watching you play and I can't wait to see what you pick next. I know I keep suggesting this game "Incubus A Ghost Hunter's Tale" by Darkling Room. This game has your favorite ghost hunters Jen and Bear in it. Lol. This will be the last time I suggest the game, I promise wether you choose to play it or not. I really do enjoy any game you pick to play 😊.
Amazing game. The good ending to me seems like a dream, maybe both Paul and Johannes are actually dying in the battlefield but Paul is trying to come to terms with reality before he bleeds out to death
Funfact - we started developing in 2015 - game was on ice for a few years and relaunched in 2019 - Amnesia: The Bunker took us by much surprise tbh as it was only introduced start of this year :/ but they did a great with their game and we are huge Frictional Game Fans anyways.
@@ld7724 Yes, sadly I feel like that happens with lesser-known creators all the time. They take the time they need to create a work of art, but more famous creators (like the Amnesia team) have the resources to do the same thing and have it ready to put out in a much shorter time due to more manpower, funds, etc. Then the lesser-known creator who had the idea first gets called a copycat, or as in the case of the commenter above, "a cheap knockoff". ☹ (Though I know @morrigancarroll7115 that you don't think that about the game after seeing it!)
The ending reminded me of the final episode of Homicide: Life on the Street. A main character Lt. Giardello played by Yaphet Kotto dies and returns to their precinct which is empty save for a little girl skipping and prancing around the desks. She's the victim in an unsolved case that plagued one of the detectives. Seated at the table in their kitchenette playing cards are the actors who portrayed detectives that were killed off throughout the run of the series. They invite him to have a coffee and danish which he was never allowed to have due to high blood pressure. He takes a seat then notices an empty chair pulled out. He asks who's it for and they say there's another who will be on their way but they don't know who it is. Giardello becomes alarmed but they tell him there's nothing he can do about it. They deal him some cards and begin chatting and joking as Giardello drinks the coffee then the camera tracks away from them. An amazing show. In an uncanny twist, a year later, one of the show's producers was a passenger aboard one of the flights that crashed into the Twin Towers on 9/11.
I think the only thing that bothered me with the game was how it much like most media depicting the war in any way do forget various powers and people at the time didn't view it quite as extremely horrific as we do, for while there were memoirs made detailing how one soldier viewed it as horrible said memoir was rebuked by another vet of the time who would describe the author as a pansy or a coward. The war didn't stop various groups successfully rallying for another war 20 odd years down the line after all and what caused the loathing of war in the countries after that one was not the destruction wrought by it but a reeducation and orientation by much of the leading western powers. Now I'm kinda wanting a game covering the pains of that period from one of the peoples that were under the Russian Empire, particularly covering the Russian civil war which would cause something like 7 to 12 million deaths including civilians on it's own.
yay, the ending. have not bothered with this as i could not get into it, gave up before making it through the first part, tried a bit of part 2 and just fell asleep. 😴
34:10 it was only by God’s power they returned, not by the virgin mary cause she had other kids so she wouldn’t have been a virgin especially if she had other kids as well as being only a human, thats why its important to focus on God the Father and put your Faith in his son Jesus Christ who was the Word of God in the Beginning of creation before Adam and Eve even came to be

What a game fantastic play through and couldn't think of anyone better to watch doing this play through awesome job mate 👍
This truly was an incredible game about the horrors of war, and how it changes people, especially the families of the soldiers

I cried for a good chunk towards the end not going to lie
I kinda started tearing up at that very last scene
The ending was sad yet sweet, I loved this game thanks for playing Chris

Would it be a stretch to say the switches that caused the birds to fly into their deaths was symbolism for how his decisoins as general cause the deaths of people?
Or it could also symbolize the blind loyalty of the soldiers too
A book I bought from a charity shop a long time ago was an account of the first world war; it was told through the letters and diaries of the soldiers and the civilians.
I quite like that they used a lot of symbolism (the cuckoo) to tell what happens in the story.
thanks for the video
Very good story ....war is a bad thing ..... well play . Thanks .
Powerful message
The title probably refers to ptsd, doesn't it? Like how it plays over and over in the soldier's mind. Ad Infinitum means To Infinity in latin. 😮
I cried at the end
That's ok. I did too. That was good story telling.
Wow. What a powerful game. To see both the soldiers and their familys suffer mentally and physically was hard to watch. The father was a tyrant through and through.

They take the time they need to create a work of art, but more famous creators (like the Amnesia team) have the resources to do the same thing and have it ready to put out in a much shorter time due to more manpower, funds, etc. Then the lesser-known creator who had the idea first gets called a copycat, or as in the case of the commenter above, "a cheap knockoff". ☹ (Though I know @morrigancarroll7115 that you don't think that about the game after seeing it!)
And we now have reach the conclusion to this horror game.
reached*
Looks good!
I'm not crying you're crying omg
Would you consider playing Penumbra Overture again but, this time with commentary?
The ending reminded me of the final episode of Homicide: Life on the Street. A main character Lt. Giardello played by Yaphet Kotto dies and returns to their precinct which is empty save for a little girl skipping and prancing around the desks. She's the victim in an unsolved case that plagued one of the detectives.
Seated at the table in their kitchenette playing cards are the actors who portrayed detectives that were killed off throughout the run of the series. They invite him to have a coffee and danish which he was never allowed to have due to high blood pressure. He takes a seat then notices an empty chair pulled out.
He asks who's it for and they say there's another who will be on their way but they don't know who it is. Giardello becomes alarmed but they tell him there's nothing he can do about it. They deal him some cards and begin chatting and joking as Giardello drinks the coffee then the camera tracks away from them.
An amazing show. In an uncanny twist, a year later, one of the show's producers was a passenger aboard one of the flights that crashed into the Twin Towers on 9/11.
wow what a game.
The grandfather was awesome
Never fear, Johannes went on to become the lead singer of one of the greatest metal bands of all time: Avatar. He's just fine!!!!
It was saying how the first world war devastated so many people and families but isn't that with all wars.
1:45 It’s cause you walked away while he was still talking to you on the phone
And they all lived happily ever after. 😁
it was deep and dark
20:06 couldn’t he have climbed down while holding onto the wooden beams?
It was a nice game, there are some parts that weren't as good, I wish it had more actual threats but overall I enjoyed it.
war is hell
I think the only thing that bothered me with the game was how it much like most media depicting the war in any way do forget various powers and people at the time didn't view it quite as extremely horrific as we do, for while there were memoirs made detailing how one soldier viewed it as horrible said memoir was rebuked by another vet of the time who would describe the author as a pansy or a coward. The war didn't stop various groups successfully rallying for another war 20 odd years down the line after all and what caused the loathing of war in the countries after that one was not the destruction wrought by it but a reeducation and orientation by much of the leading western powers.
Now I'm kinda wanting a game covering the pains of that period from one of the peoples that were under the Russian Empire, particularly covering the Russian civil war which would cause something like 7 to 12 million deaths including civilians on it's own.
Good game but I felt it was a little all over the place a little hard to follow
yay, the ending. have not bothered with this as i could not get into it, gave up before making it through the first part, tried a bit of part 2 and just fell asleep. 😴
It was rough in some sections. I had to rewatch some parts in sections bc I watch at night 💤 😴 and that was difficult at times. Good ending though.
Now let's see the bad ending
Bro im crying ???
Hey Chris 😇
33:43 this comes from Psalm 23:4 in the Bible
Hi Chris ❤👋🫀
hoping for a bit of RE4 next, so many others have already done and finished it and i am finding it hard holding on for your playthrough.
He played the RE4 remake a few months back?
@@wallismiyukiI think they mean the RE4 dlc
@@Laura_5757 that would make waaaay more sense
@@wallismiyuki I gather you were not aware of separate ways then?
@@ShadowzGSD I honestly completely missed the release 🫠
Acceptance
I’m so confused with the storyline.

34:10 it was only by God’s power they returned, not by the virgin mary cause she had other kids so she wouldn’t have been a virgin especially if she had other kids as well as being only a human, thats why its important to focus on God the Father and put your Faith in his son Jesus Christ who was the Word of God in the Beginning of creation before Adam and Eve even came to be

Almost good as Amnesia Bunker..
