Seriously! Why is he growl-whispering EVERY LINE? The words themselves are surprisingly fine (with a little bit of subtly strange use of swear words in some weird way), but the growlspering, the voice itself, is off-putting and funny. It kinda drove me nuts.
I'm probably the only one who doesn't mind it lol...it's not good but considering his face/mouth is all bandaged up and he's talking to himself I thought it kind of fit the context
Even in the FIRST PUZZLE, the game commits two cardinal point and click sins: -Difficulty by means of not properly signposting objects and hiding them. John not finding that chloroform is understandable due to its poorly-designed location. He was explicitly looking for chloroform but couldn't find it, and that's a major issue. -Moon logic. Thankfully the game doesn't punish you for failure and the character dialogue does successfully hint at the solution, but that still doesn't excuse "When you open the window the police magically know you did it and shoot you, therefore you need to barricade the door with the bed and light it on fire to create a visual barrier" especially when John pointed out the far more logical and intuitive solution of closing and locking the door. Not like it should be necessary in the first place because the cause/effect with the window opening getting you shot is already idiotic. Not to mention the dialogue being generally boring. If all your character has to say to half the things in your game is just "NOTHING USEFUL" you're writing a crap character, or a crap game. In a comedy point and click, your character should be cracking jokes, in a serious one providing characterbuilding/worldbuilding/puzzle clues. Failures like this make me grateful for excellent modern point and clicks like Fran Bow, The Cat Lady and Thimbleweed Park that are doing a good job of keeping the genre alive even in this post-Sierra/Lucasarts/Classic Telltale era.
If the player is not meant to interact with something, don’t let them. Why go through the effort of letting the player interact with every little detail, only to be told it’s a waste of time by the protagonist
@@fakename7725 There are legit reasons to do it, eg. -Jokes, half the reason you play Sam and Max or Monkey Island IS to hear all the jokes the characters make by looking at random stuff -Providing some level of smokescreen to the puzzles so solutions aren't too obvious -Adding clues to push the player in the right direction of a solution or give them clues to the narrative even if the interaction isn't strictly necessary The issue is that NO point and click should just have the character say "nothing useful" to everything. If all you have to say about it is generic placeholder text, *that* is when you should just cut the interactivity.
DarthVaderReviews but in those cases the player is meant to interact with them, it’s just not mandatory for the completion of the game. In the cases where the characters responses are meaningful, they reward the player with worldbuilding, character development, and/or entertainment. In other words the player is meant to interact with them, and is rewarded in doing so. If the only thing the character does is yell about how stupid you are for trying to interact with something, you are punishing your player, The same way a player might be punished for dying by losing a small amount of progress. However it is entirely the developer’s fault in this case as they are the ones telling the player to interact with something by making it interactive. It’s like rage games that make invisible traps. You are showing the player they can go there, but betraying them by not letting them go there. The difference is rage games are meant to do that, one of the core components of a typical rage game is to be difficult in an unfair way, to force the player to resort to pure trial and error due to the lack of information. But this is clearly not meant to be a rage game, it is missing the stylings completely.
I think using rape and the holocaust for shock factor was really tacky tbh, I mean I just think it was uncomfortable and just not really great for a game like this (this being an edgelord ‘XD welcome to my twisted mind’)
@the idiots who answered mage trying to be the ~edgy kids on the block~: Would it have been funny if it said ‘dead boys can’t say no’? No. Both are sick. This game dev is 2edgy and needs some help.
I really think "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" was a good comparison of how to do dark matters / tones in a game while still keeping in the theme of the narrative and allowing the player to feel uncomfortable while not just going for extreme shock value with seemingly not enough narrative to drive it. Everything in I Have No Mouth' is dark and dreary and much of it is portrayed so that the player has to imagine a lot of the horror themselves, allowing it to get under the skin without being just plain shock-value offensive. As some of the other comments here mentioned, this game just seems to get worse and worse, and also seems to center mostly just around women. It's like using the sexy nurses in Silent Hill for games other then Jame's personal nightmare (where they made sense): What is the actual point of it? It's almost like the director is saying "welcome to my, err I mean YOUR messed up mind!". Like you mentioned John, it's definitely ambitious and interesting for a single developer, but I appreciate that you know when to put your foot down and cut the crap and move on.
On the flipside, Harvester did "omg edgy!" stuff, but with such a heaping shovelful of camp that it ends up kind of fascinating. I know a lot of people dismiss that game but I think it has some legit merit.
Even with all the explicit scenes edited out it still feels pretty gratuitous and bizarre plus the story is all over the place like you said but as a consolation your video was super funny. :)
4 Minutes in and I feel like this game would be better if it was only point and click without controls. The monsters voice was cool but the protagonist is awful, wish he did not talk.
When non-native English speakers use a lot of swearing, it always reminds me of a Mark Twain quote: They know the words, but not the music. (edit: Just to clarify, that was not at all intended to be insulting! There's just a... difference... and I'm sure it's the same for any other language.)
+NazoNougami - You know, I'm actually really glad you asked! I didn't know myself! As a woman who swears, I had always heard that quote attributed to him (my Gramma especially loved it, haha) because it's originally about _women_ swearing, but I'd never looked it up or verified it or anything. So I looked it up just now, and it looks like that's actually, alas, a paraphrase. It's definitely Twain/Clemens, and it's definitely not from a novel. It's attributed to him, by others (hmmm...), as having been said to his wife when she mimicked his swearing back to him. The actual original quote is, "You got the words right, Livy, but you don't know the tune." If you're interested, you can google that full quote, and you'll find lots of sources with more context.
+ Cynistrelle Cadrelle Ooooooh, yeahhhh, I can totally see that!! That must be jarring, and wow, I bet it is pretty much the same concept - the words, but not the music! That's so interesting, to see it from that perspective! On the other hand, I always think it sounds a bit pretentious when Americans (or other non-native speakers of other languages) say words that come from another language, using the word's original accent. Like if I'm just speaking English in my normal Texas accent, and I throw in the word "spaghetti" but I say it with an Italian accent, I think I would sound pretentious! For one thing, I know I would butcher the accent and get that totally wrong, but it would sound like I'm going out of my way, ya know? What do you think about when people do that?
English is my second language but I rarely swear, I'm pretty sure those who swear all the time never even studied the language, and they just go around repeating what they hear in hollywood movies, also, a language's swear words are just normal words to its non-native speaker, and they see the "cool guys" say them all the time, that's why they're very commonly used among the beginners, but if you took one basic English class, you'll learn not to use them, at least that excessively.
Eastern European (or somewhere like that)? Check Excessive swearing? Check Typos and poor grammar? Check Awful voice acting? Check Edgy 2dark4u imagery? Check Yep, it's an indie Steam horror game all right! Still, at least the 2.5D point n' click presentation was a nice departure from the norm. Would've been better without the "I don't want to wake up my parents" voice acting though. Seriously, if you have to choose between that and just basic text? Go with the text, every time.
Oh. Well, I thought the game looked interesting at first, I liked the 3D point and click aspect, that seemed kinda cool, aaaand then it went for the shock value. But I will admit, before it got that far I was quite entertained, haha, that part where he ziplines into the tree was so unexpected, that cracked me up!
The developer is definitely a 14-year-old. It's likely, but not certain that his crush either rejected him or started going out with someone else shortly before he got the idea for this game.
I seriously love how John stares straight into the camera when something dumb happens in a game. As if he's saying "are you guys seeing what I'm seeing?"
My cat just passed away yesterday, June 6, and it's been really, really hard. I miss him a lot. I just wanted to say that your videos always make me really happy and I especially appreciate them at this time. Thank you for the hard work you do john, you're wonderful
THESE WOUUUUUUNDS THEY WILLLLLLL NOT HEE-UHLLLLLLLL. FEEEEEEEEAR IS HOWWWWWWWW I FALLLLLLLLLLLLLL, CONFUUUUUUUUUSING WHAAAAAAT IS REUHHHHHHHAHHHULLLLLL.
This game does that thing bad point and click games do where basically everything that isn't relevant to progress is given brief, boring descriptions. By contrast I'm reminded of that point and click game Fran Bow where Fran has something to say about basically everything you can click on, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, sometimes horrific. That sort of thing helps create a relationship between the player and our character of some kind. Makes us care and interested. Or evoke some kind of emotion at all, unlike here.
Honestly, the game _had_ some promise as a concept, but it seems this one-man army didn't look outside for any feedback about the outlining of the story or the execution. A shame really. Also: NAKED (presumably) JEWISH LADY TO THE RESCUE.
Once again John excellent commentary and you should have a million subscribers by now but that's just me I'm just one of your day ones and I appreciate everything you did 💪💪💪
This game is like an edgy try-hard version of I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream. Edit: 29:38 And this is why you should always watch the whole video before commenting, kids.
At the beginning I thought this was going to be a modern day Sanitarium, with the key differences being edgy, unlikable protagonist with a past that probably involved the murder of innocents. But then it took a weird and utterly tactless turn at the end, that, as you said, felt out of place and more for shock value than anything else. I admire the ambition, and there clearly was a good effort put into this, but that's the best I can say about it.
The beanbag had me laughing so hard I could barely breathe 😂 the way he is awkwardly holding this ENTIRE beanbag and then it just vanishes in to his inventory...and then looks at every object on the table. "...useless."
The dark inside me, a point and click adventure that is actually more edgy than a trip to hell(AGONY). That was designed to make our poor host go insane,and did you not say this was episodic? From what i saw; there lucky they dont get instantly refunded.
Oh goodness, I had a feeling where it was going once I saw the swastika. I do appreciate you cutting out the rape scene, cause those can be hard to stomach. While it’s your choice whether you want to continue this game or not, if you did decide to continue it as a series I would watch it, because frankly I just can’t expect what is going to happen next. But your commentary at the end I completely agree with, this game seems to have a lot of shock horror just for the sake of it being shocking. Also, personally, the subject matter of the game seems a little too touchy of a subject for me.
I like that there are lines John won't cross and is very serious about it. Some would say they disapprove but would still play and upload it. For shock value and views. John is a great guy
Hey John. I just wanted to say I’ve been watching your content for around a year now. I really appreciate your honest commentary and I really like watching your videos. Keep doing what you’re doing!
And what about the zombie chick that jumps over the front of the tractor⁉️🤣 the guy is so unimpressed and says “what was that?” then shrugs it off as if nothing happened and continues on ahead. Lolz 👍
Initiating a sequence of movements largely defined by the coordinated locomotion of both arms and legs with the specified goal of translating a biological entity along the desired vector within the thin layer of tissue forming the natural outer covering of the body of a person or animal, these biologically disruptive tears within the aforementioned thin layer of tissue forming the outer covering of the body of a person or animal refuse to resolve themselves via the typical means of biological reconstruction. (necro-comment, I know, but it had to be done.)
Hmm, i didn't expect to hear my language in this vid. The woman in the end when she stabs him, she says in Slovak (rough translation) "Die, you bastard! Hurry, you have to escape before they come." That being said, if i had known i would struggle not to laugh so often i wouldn't have watched at night. With that being said, the game itself is pretty hilariously bad, but you John, make it even funnier. Well done. The graphical part is almost too good to believe it was one guy who did it all, but all the rest pretty much pulls the whole thing down.
I can't help it but the main character sounds like Tommy Wiseau to me. The less than stellar internal monologuing plus that mental picture is currently the bright spot in this game for me. #youretearingmeapart
0:53 I guess Slipknot likes to visit random, terminally ill people in hospitals. Who would have guessed. Edit: also, is his constant whispering supposed to mean that he is actually thinking? did the guy who made this not know how to convey that? (I mean, obviously not but still)
Delving into the mind of the developers psyche … This is a great example of why working with a team who each specialize in a facet of the games development is often much better than thinking doing it all by yourself .
I love terrible games and I think there is a lot to learn from this one XD How not to do puzzles, how not to do camera angles, how not to make sense and how to make edgy scenes absolutely hilarious! :D
I appreciated the so-bad-it's-hilarious voice acting. ...and that's about it. I absolutely despise rape for being used for "shock factor" or simply for "OMG THAT DUDE IS EVULZ." Even if the game wasn't a pile of trash otherwise (which it is), the poor handling of sensitive matters (I mean, Auschwitz, really?) would make me hate it with a passion. Glad you stopped, but really glad you made the video, because your commentary for this one was especially fantastic. Thanks for the great video! Incidentally, I would suggest making the beanbag chair a meme, but the game doesn't even deserve that kind of recognition. (And you reminded me that I need to actually play I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, it's been on my backlog way too long.)
Well, he did say the game came out "today, the 6th of June" so methinks he made this video yesterday and just uploaded it today, which is not that much work.
I just finished your Kathy Rain playthrough and let me say, this guy makes me appreciate Kathy's attention to detail. "Poster" "Poster" "Useless stuff"
None needs another tone-deaf male developer who doesn't seem able to spare one moment to think: mmm, maybe I shouldn't use the real horror all girls and women are scared of happening to them as lightly, or as torture porn, or any other "light" entreteinmain making light of women's oppression and traumatic experiences. Once, I've asked myself about why you stopped playing that "Town of light" or something game, but then I found out the game has five some way explicit rape scenes, so yeah, you did well for throwing that out, John.
Honestly, there is NOTHING better than a new John Wolfe video in the afternoon - and when it's an indie horror John Wolfe Vid, then consider this boy FUCKING EXCITED! Wait, that hospital looks familiar lol! - the description kinda sounds like how I felt about Agony - "Shocking imagery and not much else".
The truest horror this game could terrify John with is nothing in the game per say, but the game itself becoming one of his top viewed videos, and also most requested LP continuation ever to date. Even surpassing the requests of each individual Sally Face episode 1-4 amounts combined into one. DUN DUN DUNNNNNN!!
Leon I figured it’d be interesting to watch him try and wrap his head around the confusing ass plot. I also thought it’d be neat for him to go from games with no story (see above video), to games with ridiculous amounts of story. Also, I can’t bloody wait for pathologic 2!
I haven't finished the video, I just got to the "train driving through snow" shot. If it turns out that the train is headed to Auschwitz or something similar then this just might be the dumbest thing ever. EDIT: OH FOR FUCKS SAKE.
The edgiest thing about this game is the "protagonist" only talks in whispers. I think this should be renamed "The Laryngitis Inside Me".

Oh. Well, I thought the game looked interesting at first, I liked the 3D point and click aspect, that seemed kinda cool, aaaand then it went for the shock value. But I will admit, before it got that far I was quite entertained, haha, that part where he ziplines into the tree was so unexpected, that cracked me up!
useless stuff
*_let's take it_*
thats what i feel about money ahahah
The developer is definitely a 14-year-old. It's likely, but not certain that his crush either rejected him or started going out with someone else shortly before he got the idea for this game.
Speaking of episodic games
Who can’t wait for Sally face to come out with its next episode?
I am trying to be patient 😂
Camille Ramirez same same
I'm still at the edge of my seat waiting for that game.
I seriously love how John stares straight into the camera when something dumb happens in a game. As if he's saying "are you guys seeing what I'm seeing?"
My cat just passed away yesterday, June 6, and it's been really, really hard. I miss him a lot. I just wanted to say that your videos always make me really happy and I especially appreciate them at this time. Thank you for the hard work you do john, you're wonderful
CRAAAWLING IN MY SKIIIINN!!!!
THESE WOUUUUUUNDS THEY WILLLLLLL NOT HEE-UHLLLLLLLL. FEEEEEEEEAR IS HOWWWWWWWW I FALLLLLLLLLLLLLL, CONFUUUUUUUUUSING WHAAAAAAT IS REUHHHHHHHAHHHULLLLLL.
Don't insult Linkin Park like that 😂 that kind of edgy was good edgy lol.
Pete Rock CRAWLING IN MY CRAWLL
This game does that thing bad point and click games do where basically everything that isn't relevant to progress is given brief, boring descriptions.
By contrast I'm reminded of that point and click game Fran Bow where Fran has something to say about basically everything you can click on, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, sometimes horrific.
That sort of thing helps create a relationship between the player and our character of some kind. Makes us care and interested. Or evoke some kind of emotion at all, unlike here.
It really reminds me of that late 90s game Sanitarium, with a more edge and more broken english.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that thought of Sanitarium.
YES! Except in this game you don't get to play as Hank Hill.
Flamez Plays thought the same.
Sanitarium doesn't deserve to even be compared to this cringefest
Honestly, the game _had_ some promise as a concept, but it seems this one-man army didn't look outside for any feedback about the outlining of the story or the execution. A shame really.
Also: NAKED (presumably) JEWISH LADY TO THE RESCUE.
this looks like an avenged sevenfold music video
lmaooooooooo
nice pfp
thanks :)
LMFAO
Best comment
Once again John excellent commentary and you should have a million subscribers by now but that's just me I'm just one of your day ones and I appreciate everything you did 💪💪💪
The moment the train pulled up on the death camp I fucking lost it. Who the shit made this game?
I will say that it's super impressive that one person made this. Too bad the voice acting sucks.
This game is like an edgy try-hard version of I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream.
Edit: 29:38 And this is why you should always watch the whole video before commenting, kids.
At the beginning I thought this was going to be a modern day Sanitarium, with the key differences being edgy, unlikable protagonist with a past that probably involved the murder of innocents. But then it took a weird and utterly tactless turn at the end, that, as you said, felt out of place and more for shock value than anything else. I admire the ambition, and there clearly was a good effort put into this, but that's the best I can say about it.
The beanbag had me laughing so hard I could barely breathe 😂 the way he is awkwardly holding this ENTIRE beanbag and then it just vanishes in to his inventory...and then looks at every object on the table.
"...useless."
12:40 This made me laugh my ass off. Especially since I used a zip line in a forest many times as a kid and somehow never got impaled by a tiny twig.
The dark inside me, a point and click adventure that is actually more edgy than a trip to hell(AGONY). That was designed to make our poor host go insane,and did you not say this was episodic? From what i saw; there lucky they dont get instantly refunded.
Oh goodness, I had a feeling where it was going once I saw the swastika. I do appreciate you cutting out the rape scene, cause those can be hard to stomach. While it’s your choice whether you want to continue this game or not, if you did decide to continue it as a series I would watch it, because frankly I just can’t expect what is going to happen next. But your commentary at the end I completely agree with, this game seems to have a lot of shock horror just for the sake of it being shocking. Also, personally, the subject matter of the game seems a little too touchy of a subject for me.
I like that there are lines John won't cross and is very serious about it. Some would say they disapprove but would still play and upload it. For shock value and views. John is a great guy
Hey John. I just wanted to say I’ve been watching your content for around a year now. I really appreciate your honest commentary and I really like watching your videos. Keep doing what you’re doing!
I think it’s clear to say that John is the only RUclipsr that I have made time to watch all of his videos 😂💕
And what about the zombie chick that jumps over the front of the tractor⁉️🤣 the guy is so unimpressed and says “what was that?” then shrugs it off as if nothing happened and continues on ahead. Lolz 👍
Crawling in my epidermis, these lacerations will not heal

(necro-comment, I know, but it had to be done.)
Hmm, i didn't expect to hear my language in this vid. The woman in the end when she stabs him, she says in Slovak (rough translation) "Die, you bastard! Hurry, you have to escape before they come." That being said, if i had known i would struggle not to laugh so often i wouldn't have watched at night.
With that being said, the game itself is pretty hilariously bad, but you John, make it even funnier. Well done. The graphical part is almost too good to believe it was one guy who did it all, but all the rest pretty much pulls the whole thing down.
I just watched it because of john, because this game is torture, it was 30 minutes of "omg finish this soon man"
John's criticisms are fair. This game uses all these sensitive subject matters and themes not really for a useful purpose but just pure shock value
I can't help it but the main character sounds like Tommy Wiseau to me. The less than stellar internal monologuing plus that mental picture is currently the bright spot in this game for me. #youretearingmeapart
pretty cool that one person did this but you can see he clearly needed some help.
He definitley needs help...
0:53 I guess Slipknot likes to visit random, terminally ill people in hospitals. Who would have guessed.
Edit: also, is his constant whispering supposed to mean that he is actually thinking? did the guy who made this not know how to convey that? (I mean, obviously not but still)
Delving into the mind of the developers psyche … This is a great example of why working with a team who each specialize in a facet of the games development is often much better than thinking doing it all by yourself .
I love terrible games and I think there is a lot to learn from this one XD
How not to do puzzles, how not to do camera angles, how not to make sense and how to make edgy scenes absolutely hilarious! :D
Its TIME to STOP!!!
"Who are your parents?! Where are your parents?!"
- Do you want to comment?
- No it's useless.
I appreciated the so-bad-it's-hilarious voice acting. ...and that's about it. I absolutely despise rape for being used for "shock factor" or simply for "OMG THAT DUDE IS EVULZ." Even if the game wasn't a pile of trash otherwise (which it is), the poor handling of sensitive matters (I mean, Auschwitz, really?) would make me hate it with a passion. Glad you stopped, but really glad you made the video, because your commentary for this one was especially fantastic. Thanks for the great video!
Incidentally, I would suggest making the beanbag chair a meme, but the game doesn't even deserve that kind of recognition.
(And you reminded me that I need to actually play I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, it's been on my backlog way too long.)
Guy: Useless stuff on the table
Me: *Yelling* WELL MAYBE YOU ARE THAT USELESS STUFF ON THE TABLE
You still uploaded today, even after the 3hr episode with Kimmy?? John you spoil us!! 🤗❤️ thanks, love guys! 😂
Well, he did say the game came out "today, the 6th of June" so methinks he made this video yesterday and just uploaded it today, which is not that much work.
I just finished your Kathy Rain playthrough and let me say, this guy makes me appreciate Kathy's attention to detail. "Poster" "Poster" "Useless stuff"
The Edge Inside Me, more like.
I actually remember Bowlingotter play the beta of this a few months back, I think
That Nazi at 27:40 sure had the edge inside him.
A nurse wearing fishnets! 😱 That's totally NOT a hospital dress code 😁 Plus panty shots? Well this isn't Yandere Sim.
john im sad
9:35 I love how the bullet only starts to fly forward after the guy lowers his arm after firing.
"It says chloroform on the bottle"
...*Turns to the screen*
Best part of the video!!
He has a batman voice going on..
Benjamin Franklin, he thinks he's Ben Affleck😂
Camille Ramirez XD
More like the male version of the main character from Sylvio.
More like a 15 year old trying to be batman
Sexualizing the holocaust, that's a new low.
I love that he has a cast on the upper half of his body and the lower half is just a brand spankin new pair of jeans
N O I T S U S E L E S S
I found this in a top 10 upcoming horror games video. I'm questioning life right now.
None needs another tone-deaf male developer who doesn't seem able to spare one moment to think: mmm, maybe I shouldn't use the real horror all girls and women are scared of happening to them as lightly, or as torture porn, or any other "light" entreteinmain making light of women's oppression and traumatic experiences. Once, I've asked myself about why you stopped playing that "Town of light" or something game, but then I found out the game has five some way explicit rape scenes, so yeah, you did well for throwing that out, John.
LMFAOLMFAO WHEN you used the belt and coasted down the wire then got impaled by the tree it was so funny LOL
I hate when they put in a r*pe scene in a game for no reason and think they're being edgy and cool for it. I guarantee you that it's not a PSA.
Honestly, there is NOTHING better than a new John Wolfe video in the afternoon - and when it's an indie horror John Wolfe Vid, then consider this boy FUCKING EXCITED! Wait, that hospital looks familiar lol! - the description kinda sounds like how I felt about Agony - "Shocking imagery and not much else".
Started with a hellraiser vibe ended up being a mess
please continue because his commentary brings me great joy
this game hurts my head
nooo you have to play more this is basically a "it's so bad it's so good" kind of game and i love it
"Who are you calling pinhead?"
I have no Mouth, and I must Scream, but I have a mouth, and it's not doing me any favors.
Yay!!! Something good to watch while we Jimmy John's!
The truest horror this game could terrify John with is nothing in the game per say, but the game itself becoming one of his top viewed videos, and also most requested LP continuation ever to date. Even surpassing the requests of each individual Sally Face episode 1-4 amounts combined into one. DUN DUN DUNNNNNN!!
Also John, ever hear of the game “Pathologic”? That’s an actually decent, older game that might make good video fodder.
He might be waiting for Pathologic 2 to come out (as am I). Though, the unique experience of Pathologic is worth a play.
Leon
I figured it’d be interesting to watch him try and wrap his head around the confusing ass plot.
I also thought it’d be neat for him to go from games with no story (see above video), to games with ridiculous amounts of story.
Also, I can’t bloody wait for pathologic 2!
I'm glad you finally posted here! (I know he did the agony one but not interested,so I was being extra patient for another one 😍)
Actually I changed my mind,this is better than agony yes...But not tht far from it 😂😂 I need that MC voice in my life
The game isn't good...
But John's commentary is just so perfect, I wanna see a series on this lol
I haven't finished the video, I just got to the "train driving through snow" shot.
If it turns out that the train is headed to Auschwitz or something similar then this just might be the dumbest thing ever.
EDIT: OH FOR FUCKS SAKE.
