    The video got demonetized. I guess that's on me for not checking all the description of the "free use" music. Oh well, now i learned that i have to be more cautious of what music i choose for the videos.
    Either way, thanks a lot for the amazing receivement that this video is having and i appreciate all the comments :)

    This story is too deep. You don't know how far you can love a person (or more) until you lose them. As a husband and father I don't think I would have the courage to continue living if I lost my wife and daughter.
    Without a doubt, each new story is deeper than the previous one, simply amazing.

    I really do think this is one of the best stories you've done yet. Though the man is burdened by his loss, he still keeps on going. It reminds me of a message I saw on a headstone a little while ago. It was a poem saying to continue living as best as you can, for the person's partner never died. Dying implies they are gone. But they aren't really ever gone, as long as we have memories.

    God dammit I once said a long time ago I wouldn't let games get me all emotional.
    But I'm ngl gamers this made me a little sappy. The loneliness of not being with your family anymore hits deep.
    Honestly I'd love the PZ Devs to add him when they finish their NPC project. Have him be a loner, deep in the woods. Who just wants to live in solitude, grieving his family. It really adds to the emotion.
    Another side note. Fucking. Flawless acting. Very creative uses with the emotes, and the multiplayer crew. I loved it, the determination during the fight scene was also the cherry on top.

    The story is really touching. As I know, it's hard to awake from such a loss, but this lonely traveller found his salvation in apocalypse. Can't imagine, how much he'll "survive" being another man, but in the same decorations, acting, like nothing happened. Sure thing, that apocalypse destroys our thoughts about the world, but people with shattered mental health, without simple meaning to live, can find new one in surviving and helping others. That's just my opinion

    These are exceptionally well made. I understand just how much painstaking set detail you’ve had to do for each scene. And that’s before you even shoot it, AND then edit it (very well too!). Absolutely awesome my man.
