In regards to the Hidden Cats game, the developer replied to his review. Its in chinese, but translated it says: "Is this because the game took too long to find all the cats, so he was very angry?" Theres three reviews, all negative but they only replied to Kaifs. Edit - Magic Puzzle King has one too: "AI is just a tool, just like photoshop, and photoshop itself also supports AI generation. AI does not mean laziness. Instead, more new art forms are represented. The voice against AI will surely be silenced in the rolling wheel of history." Again, only Kaifs review got a response. They're a bit upset at him...
While AI is a tool, it does not exist to just do 90% of the work, most of the outcry over it isent because of using it, its because of the overdepency on it and the fact the cryptobros latched onto it. It reminds me of CGI, most shows around them were just made 100% CGI until Toy Story shown what CGI could actully do if effort was actully put into it, i could be wrong about Toy story being the one that did this but its the only one i remember.
@@MifuneShio isn't it the opposite, CGI was seen as a tool only for big companies at first, and then ReBoot showed that it can be used for the weekly cartoons?
@@ten0fclubs70 I only remember stuff like Cubix,Reboot and the old PS1 intros like tekken, also im not pro-AI i just try to look at the positives and negatives and so far when its come to AI use I have only seen negatives because companies are either using it to scam,replace artists or just lower overall costs when it shouldent be that depended on at all.
Yeah the first "finding cats" game (Corrected by comments: Traveling Cats) got copied by scammers a lot :/ This one's pretty terrible, not only because of the AI but also they couldn't even get a full image so they just glued the same piece over and over, that sucks
Not sure if they are the orginal (they have the "Cats Hidden In Paris" game i think you are referencing), they are "Travellin Cats" and all their stuff is hand drawn.
"The voices opposing AI will surely be silenced in the rolling wheels of history" is such a fucking villain, dystopian thing to say, and also, they're wrong, it may be easier for the causal bro to "ignore artists" but we artists will ALWAYS be opposing it unless it's done ethically and without harming the environment (Which I suspect will never be the case), we won't just accept it and especially we won't start using it, even if the AI-bro bubble may not see it, there will always be a group of people that oppose it until it's rightfully dealt with. Anyway, amazing video Kaiffy! It genuinely makes me happy you're openly Anti-AI and supporting of us artists!!
They're not wrong. Sadly what do you think happened to make it that AAA games frequently released as broken buggy messes, micro-transactions became majority of profit for most games and games releasing with features removed on day 1. All those things were considered major controversies but have become industry standard. AI saves companies money and as such will be used more and more and if there are controversies around it they will just lie and claim they aren't using it when they do and if caught they will try to normalise it until it just becomes another shitty thing companies do.
Yeah I hate AI, I stream on twitch as a Vtuber and more than once I have bought things only to find out they were ai and I was pissed. If I'm spending money on something I don't want it to be something I can just make myself with fucking AI. I want to support an actual artist who put in the work to make it unique and look proper. I learned my lesson recently and from now on I'm making sure I know the artist and their work before I make any purchases to put money in some scammers pocket. I appreciate artists and their work and I will continue to support actual artists not some generated bullshit.
@@Cybersixx. I recommend Vgen if you haven't checked it out already, it's a really good site for commissioning artists and it's free of AI bs!! I'm on it myself as both a commissioner and an artist!
Sleep Paralysis can make you see things from time to time yes. generally varies from person to person. Personally heard voices before/ seen shadowy figures but thats about all. freaked me out the first couple of times.
I had it several times and every time the hallucinations were wild First one (the most vivid I remember) was a small ufo that flew in through my window and started drifting around the room, like Tokyo drifting
as a kid i had sleep paralysis a lot, and there was a giant, menacing crab, that filled out the complete back half of my room. it would just stand there in the dark and look at me. sometimes coming closer, without me being able to move, or look away.
8:30 Fun fact about elevator design, the rapid compression of air from them falling creates a natural cushion near the bottom of an elevator shaft. There's a woman who fell I think it was 75 stories? She was injured but recovered.
4:24 AI generated games aren’t allowed on steam (or at least have to disclose it uses mostly AI generated assets) if I recall correctly that is. Steam rules might just be you have to mark it as contains ai content, in which case yeah it should honestly not be allowed or have a big disclaimer saying it contains a large amount of ai generated assets.
I don't get all the hate for AI because I like seeing what AI can create and it's just cool how far technology has come and as someone who can't make art or edit photos well, it is a useful tool as well. Plus the whole "AI taking jobs" thing isn't true when people thought the same thing about computers or even cars, because we simply adapt to technology and make new jobs with it so I don't get the hate for AI when it is a useful tool for making things some might otherwise not be able to🤷🏼♂️
@@Slye_FoxThis 100%. I've seen some companies and individuals who are using AI for artwork by feeding a collection of their own artwork to a model. They then turn around and use this model to do certain aspects of their work for them, such as backgrounds or whatnot. I have absolutely no problem with this, as it's using a tool to speed up certain aspects of work. What I do mind are the models that go out and steal the work of multitudes of artists to then turn around and spit out what boils down to stolen work.
@@DeidaraIsTheBest10I'm pretty sure this is a case of someones account being stolen by an AI promoter bot. Yt doesn't do nearly enough to combat bots in the comments
I dont think you are a old man yelling at clouds with the whole AI thing. Although AI can be used to help make some really cool art, its mostly used by people to be lazy, and scam. It doesnt help that AI uses Art stolen from artists without permission so it's morally grey. Making a whole puzzle game around it then charging money just doesn't feel right, especially getting all worked up over it. idk just my thoughts

@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 It's a sign of laziness. Instead of paying an artist to make the art, you just go to a machine that make a half-assed picture instead. People have also used AI to enter drawing contests and scam the judges and organization pretending that they drew the entries (look at Pokémon drawing contests for instance). They prefer to use a soulless algorythm than the creativity of a person. Also, AI "art" uses stolen creations without permission, so it's built upon theft and doesn't credit the original posters nor gives them any kind of compensation. Not a good basis if you ask me. AI art will never compare to what a talented person can do, but people and corpos prefer to save some bucks than support artists cause greed. This can hurt little starting peers or lower their income because clients prefer AI slop. Lastly, it can discourage people from taking artistic careers because they might think it's not worth it if a machine can do it. This is why AI "art" is bad and should have never been invented.
From the times I've had sleep paralysis, each one was different from seeing stuff, hearing things and smells; but they all made my sense of dread shoot up. I know its in my head and all, but man does it fuck with you if you can't force yourself back asleep. Used to do that and just say to myself "Sleep is more important if I die it was just my time."
"The voices opposing AI will surely be silenced in the rolling wheels of history" ... the scariest part about this is, the realization when you lived through the rise of DLCs and predatory micro-transactions. The controversy fricking horse-armor for Oblivion was, and now it's one of the less bad ones. When games did not release with a plethora of game-breaking bugs because ... you know, they had to get burned onto a disk and it was not guaranteed that people playing the game have internet for downloading patches. When games came in full on boxes with goodies like a cloth-map, or figurines and stuff for normal price, before they switched to dvd-cases and started the collectors-editon-trend. Which is now a "pay 150 Euro for a pink left cheek skin and 3 days early access". When the "new" Simcity came out and we cried out against always-online. The voices did get silenced by the wheels of time, and a new generation of gamers trained on the expectation, that all those things are just normal and how video-games are. :( I fear AI will be added to that pile.
ive got a background in it and art, and i dont know how you can copyright and sell a game that uses art frankenseined from artists that didnt consent. I think there will be a revolution with artists suing companies, and as soon as we win those, they will get scared. some laws will start happening, and theres already talk about laws being put in place. but since ai developed faster than anyone could have imagined, laws and rulings are waaaay behind, and need to be updated.
The only way AI will ever 'replace' anything made by people is if it can learn. When you code something, the computer has absolutely no idea what anything is, you have to type in specific code to define every possible aspect for it to even work. Now with AI, the issue is that it's still a program that needs someone to code in for it to do anything. At best, AI can and will only be able to mimic without understanding. (And without that understanding it will never replace people). That's why AI art and the like look uncanny or scuffed. No self respecting game designer or artist would focus on AI art. (Not including stuff like CGI to enhance what they already have, but that in itself is also requiring of an artist)
31:08 As for someone who experiences sleep paralysis often it is way worst than that, the game is too silent, where in in my experience everything is loud and all of my senses are overwhelmed also, you cannot move anything you are stuck looking at where your face is facing and hopes for the best that no entity created by my brain would go near or in front of my face, also even if I am not that religious, I am forced to pray for my dear life. Edit: By way worse, the game is in easy mode and what I experience is nightmare difficulty
I only had it once, but was facing a wall at the time so I never actually saw anything but the feeling of not being able to move at all even though your trying your hardest is a really horrible feeling.
I don't know if its sleep paralysis or what, but as a kid I'd wake up from these dreams unable to move. And it downright terrified me. More recently I had something like that happen and I started freaking out.
For me it's probably better because I don't see anything nor hear but it doesn't help. The feeling of helplessness, it's not a good one, especially after a nightmare, you try to wake up but you just lay there. Yours though is terrific , probably sleep paralysis is dependent on your ability to imagine. For example, you have one which is imagery, second feeling, maybe sounds, depends
I get sleep paralysis fairly often. I’ve never had the kind where I’m able to open my eyes and have them play tricks on me. When I experience it, i feel like I can’t breathe, but I can’t open my eyes or move to try to help myself. It’s pretty scary tbh it’s like I’m experiencing the last moments before death 😅
I've had sleep paralysis a few times but I never got to have a ghost stalking me. It always was just that I couldn't move and could barely breathe. The last time it happened I kept trying to yell out and finally my wife came in and asked if I was okay because I was making weird moaning noises, which finally woke me up properly. A friend of mine once told me that sometimes he would wake up and there would be sharks swimming in his floor, so I guess it's different for different people? Something to note: when I'm having sleep paralysis I don't realize I'm having it until I wake up. The one time I did realize it I was like "okay I know what this is" and although it was still terrifying to not be able to move at least I knew that it would end at some point. Pretty sure I fell back to sleep and woke up normally later.
I got a sleep paralysis event once and it was the coolest experience I had... after I figured out I wasn't paralyzed. Everyone keeps thinking of the hallucination parts as a required prerequisite, but about 25% of the cases don't have any-- like mine! So yeah, it's generally personal, because it's hallucinations. My sleep paralysis experience started rough, because I woke up completely paralyzed, not even able to move or open my eyes. I tried REALLY hard to get past the "movement block" (long summary short, when you go to sleep a part of your brain "locks down" so you don't go around trying to move IRL because you're doing it in your dreams) and focused on trying to flex fingers. I managed a controlled twitch of my pinkie after WAY too long thinking it "louder" (it's what I'd do in lucid dreams to force the dream to bend and let me do something it didn't want me to do) and that confirmed I didn't get suddenly quadriplegic. Until I confirmed I wasn't paralyzed medically, I had breathing issues that were just me stressing OUT. But after I realized "oh, THAT'S why it's called sleep paralysis!" my breathing evened out back to rest and I stopped feeling trapped. It's actually really cozy as a state, when you're not panicking and stressed out and trying to fight it. Like being stuck RIGHT at the point before you conk out, but aware enough to appreciate it. I ended up falling back asleep after probably a few minutes of just lying there being cozy doing my impression of a ragdoll. 9/10 would go again, maybe without the paralysis scare.
I had only paralysis once. I was sleeping on my stomach during that and I felt like someone was on top of me. I tried to struggle but was unable to. It lasted a moment and then it was over and I for sure couldn't go to bed after that scare xd
@@lu11aby my Nana told me one time that when she was a little girl she experienced sleep paralysis (and this is the only sleep paralysis she says she’s ever had btw) and in her sleep paralysis she saw a plane crashing down onto her house and woke up right when the plane hit, very interesting stuff y’know?
My first and only sleeping paralysis (so far) experience: my bedroom door is a sliding door in my apartment. When I was fully awake but couldn't open my eyes for some reason (and fully conscious), I sensed my bedroom door slide open. A dark shadow figure entered my bedroom. (Don't know how and why I could sense so much detail on him) A man was wearing a dressing hat, a grey coat usually worn on top of suits. He was getting closer. There is a tree outside of my apartment unit, and I thought he must've climbed up the tree and entered my unit (I always leave my patio door unlocked). My heart rate started increasing, and I started getting sweaty. I started roaring (not sure if I made the sound or not). I keep telling myself: open my eyes, open my eyes. Ahhhhh. Don't know how long had passed, my eyes suddenly snapped open. In short: no one was in my apartment. I was all alone. It was around 4 a.m., had roughly 5 hours of sleep. Couldn't sleep anymore after that, so I went for a walk (summer time). From this experience, I always lock my patio door now.
When it comes to Steam games that use any form of AI art, from music to pictures to writing, it should need to be disclosed in the description, That way, people who don't want to support it won't get tricked into it.
@@greywolf5590 If it is, it's not the way that it should be. Just saying "There's some AI content" isn't enough - what kind of content, how much, etc is needed. People are more likely to overlook some script writing than music or art, and one song is very different from a whole soundtrack.
it is, as of january this year i believe (?). underneath the 'about this game' section, there will be an 'ai generated content disclosure' section. a paragraph from steam's statement on it: "First, we are updating the Content Survey that developers fill out when submitting to Steam. The survey now includes a new AI disclosure section, where you'll need to describe how you are using AI in the development and execution of your game."

@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 It's because to be able to generate images, it steals from millions of artists who didn't consent, breaching their copyright and essentially creating things from the mangled corpses of our hard work, it also is horrible for the environment, do any ounce of research and you'll realize it isn't "just a tool" and cannot be compared to actual artistic tools, and I also don't understand why AI is being focused to take away human expression and creativity, but not remove actual dangerous and detrimental work.
The dialogue actually ruins the sleep paralysis game. It's a showcase that less can be more. You get significantly more by letting players imaginations run. Let their own inner monologue play. Not stiff AI generated text.
Sleep paralysis for me makes me panicky. I want to scream, but I can't because I can't move my body, and i have a really loud ringing in my ears occasionally. One time, I did halucinate someone opening and closing my bedroom door, then a figure cloaked in shadows placed his hands through my chest, and I felt like I couldn't breathe. That was definitely the worst experience I've ever had, truly horrifying.
I experience sleep paralysis on a somewhat regular basis, once or twice a month, and most of the time it's just like the beginning of the game . I dream that I have woken up but can't move, and then something happens ; I see movement like 30:40 or hear whispers or anything at all, mostly something random . But the difference is that as soon as the shadow moves through the room , I'm stuck with an immense wave of fear , and I feel cold sweat all over my body until my vision starts to slowly blacken and I begin to wake up. It feels like a solid 10-15 seconds. I can try to scream or shake myself awake , but nothing works, and the moment I wake up, most of the time I feel extremely exhausted and fall back asleep . If I fall asleep again too quickly , without staying awake for some time, I could experience it all over again, like some sort of vicious circle.
Too answer the question about sleep paralysis is that you can hallucinate be unable to move due to the body being in a state of rem, and most of the time it only lasts for anywhere between 30 mins or longer depending on your state of exhaustion. So yes in a way it's accurate but everyone deals with something different, and sometimes it's not really scary but comforting. My reason for knowing this is I had a experience of this myself and I knew someone else who struggled with it to a much more intense degree.
It absolutely does NOT last anywhere near that long, please stop exaggerating it and stop spreading false information. It lasts for max like 10 seconds.
@user-ky2hg7fg4j I'm not, as I said I dealt with it myself and had known people who had as well. Just because in your circumstance it doesn't, doesn't mean I'm lying. I'm giving you information from my perspective and what I've seen and have dealt with. I apologize that you feel I am lying but I am not.
Valve did update their Agreements on the Developer/publisher side about AI Generated content and especially that it needs to be LEGAL. so maybe another legal case kaif can dive into in the gaming sphere? :D

I have a very rare but recursive form of sleep paralysis, not really the scary sleep paralysis demon type, just I physically feel like I've woken up and begun walking around and almost rubber band into my bed, I also lucid dream though so I can tell when it's happening, but it's one of the few dreams that I have zero control over.
when i had sleep paralysis it was pretty similar though probably scarier… but yeah, you are in a moment of being awake while still dreaming at the same time, which is why you can’t move your muscles. i couldn’t move anything at all and i had this creepy “alien” monster thingy slowly approaching me and every time i closed my eyes (had to blink) it’d get closer to me and started crawling onto my bed and on my legs. everyone experiences it differently of course, but yeah the point of it is that you’re still dreaming while being awake which is why you can experience “hallucinations” and can’t move anything at all. actually having now seen the ending yeah i was getting crawled on just like the ghost was lol. (i was typing this while watching)
I’ve been scrolling and refreshing through RUclips for half an hour now looking for a video to watch while I finish knitting some Christmas gifts. Thank you for your service 😭🙏
Whenever I've had sleep paralysis I've never had hallucinations and I've never opened my eyes. I tend to start shaking my head from side to side to start getting the body going. I've shouted a couple of times as well, but not as wild as some people have it.
I have two free puzzle games on steam, they both have DLC that aren't expensive either, but they also have free updates constantly. The best thing about one of them is that its basically like putting puzzles together in real life, without all the stress of losing pieces, not having enough space for the puzzle, or having to move the puzzle out of the way to do another one. And the team that made that game also supports other small devs. If someone really wants to put together AI generated puzzles, then go play that game and choose to put together a puzzle with your own image, just this time you don't have to give money to someone who is basically selling AI generated art to you. I've also noticed that all these hidden cats games popped up thanks to the Travelin' Cats games, which are made by small developers who put care into the art in their game, and its genuinely challenging to find the cats, in one they put bonus levels of ones they made that they thought were too easy to be the whole game. The other thing with them is they also have a timed mode so you can try to see how fast you can find the cats.
OutRUN actually is very similar to a movie I saw once, but I can't remember the name or when it came out so idk who's "copying" who The movie follows a woman who survived a horrible attacker that killed her family. She's either working a nightshift or staying the night at a hotel, I can't remember which. She does connect with a resident who was kinda running away from home? After the protag shares her terrifying story the girl decides that tomorrow she'll go back home to her mom. Then a scary guy shows up who looks like the murderer, the ghosts of her mom and sister show up, and eventually its revealed she's insane and she killed her own family at a super young age. Then she was locked up for years until she only just recently escaped before the mocie transpires. She kills the therapist(?), the resident she connected with, and a random hotel worker. I think she also killed a plumber? I only really remember that at the end of their movie she hid all of the bodies in a hole inside a pool, then she changed her name and took over the hotel herself, occasionally going mad and killing people again I guess
i had fun with the receptionist game playing magical sound shower for background music. the demons in my room at night are pretty chill as long as you're chill, but the child who sleeps on the bed tends to get upset if they see me in the room at night, so i tend to look for cozy spots in the wardrobe to rest in, preferably with some nice fresh laundry to use as a mattress.
31:06 can confirm sleep paralysis is pretty similar.. although I haven't seen things like doors opening or hearing sounds? More just shadow figures in the corners of the room, next to my bed, or hovering over me. Used to happen quite often to me in college and I'd wake myself up by screaming. You ever had that feeling where you're trying to run, jump, etc but can't in a dream? That's what it felt like but I couldn't scream then would eventually wake up and realize I was screaming but couldn't hear myself. Shit was horrible lmao but I think it just came on from the stress of college and life at the time.. went on for months. This has since stopped and very rarely happens anymore.
I get sleep paralysis but in a weird way where I immediately know I have it and just keep my eyes closed until I can get myself up. Ironically you’re one of the RUclipsrs I’ll turn on a video from to keep myself from having it happen again. For some reason listening to people talking keeps it from happening for me
I have experienced sleep paralysis multiple times in the past and the experience is honestly terrifying. It goes like this, I will be laying on my back in my bed unable to move, everything looks exactly like my room and the room will change to look exactly like whatever room I am sleeping in at the time. People will show up, people that I know, sometimes its my mother or father, but the worst was when my grandmother walked into my room, walked to the foot of my bed, leaned over and elongated her neck to get right in front of my face. This would be scary in a normal dream but add to the fact you can feel yourself trying to move but can't, I can only describe it like when your arm or leg falls asleep so the limbs feel incredibly heavy and instead of being able to sluggishly move around on pins and needles, unable to move them at all. Hope this helps the game make a little more sense.
Mainly sleep on my side when I have sleep paralysis, couple things for my experience: - Feels like I have my phone flashlight pointed in my face, I can only count 2 times when this happened that it feels like I left my phone flashlight on. Looking back, all I remember is a light. - Unsettling feeling of not having mobility in my body, like I’m being buried under a heavy weight blanket and I can’t move my limbs. It’s worse when I move my toes (recommended form of getting out of it) and I feel like I’m in control of my body, but then I’m suddenly weighed down again. Happened 3-4 times in a night. - My first experience gave me auditory and visual hallucinations, scared the f out of me. But now it’s replaced with a heavy sense of dread, and sometimes the feeling that I’m being watched.
The sleep paralysis game reminds me a bit of those early VR horror games where you are locked in place and can only watch the scary stuff around you. It improves upon that by giving sort of mechanics and quick time events to make it a real game.
sleep paralysis is terrifying. i suffer from it, i get a few instances a year. its different for everyone but for me its like you can only move your eyes, you cant yell or scream, its like being hit in the face with a heavy gust of wind, nothing comes out like your breath is caught. my body personally feels like its spasming while im trying to move to the best of my ability but nothing is actually happening. Ive never been one to see my hallucinations but i hear them, creaking floorboards, breathing behind my head, scratching at the door or sometimes just a huge sense of impending doom that you just cant shake. its gotten to a point i can tell if its going to happen while im dreaming, as you often "awake" from a dream to experience them but that doesnt change just how god damn scary they are and the fact i wish i could never ever experience..or remember them again. thanks for coming to my tedtalk :3
I've had sleep paralysis once in my life and it looked kind of like I was reverse-blinking very fast, like I had my eyes closed and I tried to open them but I could only open them for a short moment before they would close again, otherwise I had no control over my movement. My face was facing my window and the curtain had a pattern that looked like if the letter Y had 5 lines at the top and 1 at the bottom instead of 2 at the top and 1 at the bottom so it kind of looked like a hand and every time I reverse-blinked the "hand" looked like it was getting closer to me. It didn't take too long for me to wake up so I took down the curtain and I'm never using it again.
I actually had an episode when I was young, and I was very terrified, 'cause I couldn't move, saw something emerging from my closet, and somehow I managed to get out of being stun locked. It's what it feels like when you're in a video game type thing sad but true.😢
My sleep paralysis has included me feeling like a blanket was so heavy I couldn't breathe and one where something in the corner of my eye looked like someone was there but I couldn't move my head
as someone that has had it before its actually pretty close. although nothing gets to you, you normally wake up before hand. its really horrifying to have. it can scar you if you let it haunt you enough. i would say its about 8/10 on accuracy.
Can confirm, that sleep paralysis can make you feel, hear or see things that are not there. In my cases, this included seeing figures, for example one on the ceiling, approaching me and lying on my chest when I noticed it. However, of course this game is compleatlely exaggerated. In case this sounds scary to you, keep in mind that it is just a form of hallucination, that happens if your bain is not fully awakened or asleap and a complately normal phenomenon that happens to most people at some point.
23:11 This reminds me so much of a mix between two movies I watched recently on Amazon Prime...I really wish I could remember the name of them. They were pretty decent if not a bit confusing at points The big differences were location (one took place at a big indoor hotel I believe in Ireland? and the other took place mainly at a small gas station/pantry)
Regarding the sleep paralysis question: In my case, I've never seen anything during it. But each time it has happened it has happened it was like waking up inside of a dream. Everything's hazy, hard to move- one time I was able, only once- towards the end, but there was always something that was the same. Every time there was a terrifying feeling around me that was suffocating, sometimes I'd feel it pressing down on the bed around me, and a couple times I've heard some deep voice that I can't understand. Scurry stuff
For the first one I don't think the cats not fitting the art style is dead giveaway, that just makes it a bit easier to actually find things in hidden object games. All the other stuff made it pretty clear though. Definitely AI swill.
I have had sleep paralysis a handful of time, and yeah, it can be pretty wild. You wouldn't be able to move your head though. I use to hear voices a lot, had a very memorable one where a shadow lady monster slowly walked toward the side of my bed and when she touched me I woke up fully and was able to move. Would see my roommate come in sometimes even though he'd be at work or asleep himself.
The most consistent thing that happens to me during my sleep paralysis is its hard to breathe or cant breath manually which sends me into to panic mode. Its like waking where every part of your body is auto pilot besides your eyes and awareness, and cant turn on manual mode to move your body or breathe manually.
As a person who had sleep paralysis. I had times where i couldn't move or even speak, I even saw a shadow person next to my bed. I even felt hands touching me. Granted, i was taking a depression pill at night, which made me have it. So now i just take them in the morning and haven't had sleep paralysis since.
Occasionally I’ll have a weird pseudo-sleep paralysis where I’m mostly conscious, but I can’t wake up fully, no matter how much I want to. So I’ll just be laying there, thinking desperately to myself to wake up, but unable to move or open my eyes. Oddly distressing, despite nothing really happening.
I have sleep paralysis after major stress events in my life. They deal, in my older age now, with someone looing like my dad but with a dangerous aura at the end of my bed. I usually end up finally waking up and throwing a pillow across the room where he had been. When I was little, I was walking by a house MADE of fire and not being able to shake myself awake at all until I forcefully make myself land hard on my floor.
I have had sleep paralysis since I was around 6, from having it every night to having it once or twice a year been a god send. The shit Ive seen and the pain and horror is enough to make a horror movie out of :D From a demon opening up my door to just stand at the foot of my bed just looking at me while loud machine sounds,woman and babies crying and the whole room violently shaking and vibrating to a Resident evil licker look a like demon crawling onto my bed and ripping out my inside and I felt all of it. yep, it can be really really bad
I've had sleep paralysis a few times... It is honestly one of the scariest things I have ever experienced I couldn't move or breathe I tried to scream but nothing happened. There is nothing like lying next to your spouse, wanting nothing more than to touch them, feeling as if you must be dying... Zero stars.
I've had sleep paralysis, it occurs to me every 6 months or so, I usually don't see the "shadows" although I have once iirc. Basically, you are clearly awake but completely unable to move- that is the terrifying part for me. I basically focus on willing my fingers and toes to move at that point. It always wears off but to the just-woke-up mind its friggan terrifying.
6:46 there’s probably something with a group of colors so you know the order but both 3 and 5 seem to be yellow, so even with a color hint, you’d still have to brute force it…
The way sleep paraysis actually works is quite fascinating, so it's caused by the bodies' natural actions being disturbed your brain paralyzes your muscles so they dont act out your dreams but your REM cycle is disturbed so you are conscious but can't move (this can be caused by sleep disorders such as narcolepsy or sleep apnea)
that bobo's funzone thing that hurt Kaif's ears, that made my head ring, like a lot I cannot fanthom how much worse that was for him, if toned down made me have a slight headache that must have given him a migraine
i had sleep paralyse once, and for me at least i was awake but body was locked so anything that happens around you can be perceived, e.g. a door opening, the wind, a flash of a light from outside, etc, etc.
Thought I might share my experiences with Sleep Paralysis. I've only had it twice and that was within the span of the last year. The first time I was sleeping on a couch and had woken unable to move and at the time, other than my eyes I saw a dark figure standing over me. I had left the light on and could see my surroundings clearly. I had recognized it as sleep paralysis and tried taking rapid deep breaths to try and jolt myself out of the paralysis, I had tried experimenting with lucid dreaming ( I didn't really get anywhere with that) and had learnt a wee bit about it. After a few moments I had properly come about and was fine, found it a bit amusing though was a tad freaked out. The second time was a few months back. I was in my bedroom this time, lights off and the walls are just painted cinder blocks essentially. This time I woke up seeing at the time a dark figure and I thought the brick pattern was like a lecture hall with people watching me. After a few moments it again passed though I think it lasted a bit longer that time around. Those are my only experiences with sleep paralysis though I have had my fair share of weird things happening when tired and nearly asleep in bed such as hearing voices or music, though no visual hallucinations.
31:21 I have sleep paralysis a few times a year. Usually it’s just annoying and I try to wake up for an unknown amount of time. I’d consider it akin to lucid dreaming without actual control of the dream. Occasionally I get stuck in a nightmare type of situation, and those are truly terrifying. Usually just seeing something creepy that stands or gets closer, kinda like the latter half (without the dying lol)
I occasionally suffer from sleep paralysis... It varies from person to person, but with me, I become very aware of my own heart beat and breathing. Painfully aware. I also will sometimes hear either someone talking, or distorted music, despite no one else living with me. Thankfully it's very rare, as it only happens if I'm on my back (side sleeper mostly) and only when I'm horribly sleep deprived, and can usually kick myself out of it before it goes on too long... I feel for those who suffer through the harsh ones.
My first and only sleep paralysis didn’t have a monster it was instead my dad yelling at me and when i tried to reason or at least run away from him i find i was paralysed. When i woke up i felt so terrible that I couldn’t even cope with being in my bedroom anymore completely paranoid of the event happening again. so i went to the living room and played Ace Attorney because im also not going back to sleep after all that. Terrible start to christmas.
20:55 a good way of the dev doing this might be a line like "Yikes.... That'll have to be good enough!" and then getting an objective to return to the reception area??
My sleep paralysis is super intense lol. Ive had like rats crawl all over my body, people in the room, etc. luckily i have yet to be murdered by a ghost however
Sleep paralysis is kind of like this but you also feel like all over the place without being able to move any part of your body, thinking also feels weird, that's what i remember
Sleep paralysis is honestly scary. I am fully awake and aware but cannot move my body or open my eyes or scream, but I can still hear. It can last for a couple of seconds or for minutes for me and I can have multiple instances of sleep paralysis in a night.
Had sleep paralysis a few times. The worst I remember is I was takin a nap in the middle of the day. Was hallucinating that a guy came into my room and was sitting on me about to put a bunch of needles into my back. I was on my stomach and couldnt breath well. I tried calling my roomate for help, later when I was fully awake i asked if he heard me and he said I was making weird moaning noises
I had sleep paralysis at some point that was so bad I still believe the feeling of my bed being violently shaken for a split second felt WAY to real. Oh yeah, also obviously the door opening and spooky women, come on man. First time? xD
i used to have sleep pralysis like 2 years ago like once a week or so and no this is not the experience:)) its usually really short since you force yourself to wake up, for me there was no sound just some weird imagery and being extremely alert, its kinda if you get super stoned. its a terryfing experience at first but you get used to it
Had sleep paralysis a few times, for me it was more of a panic being half awake and unable to move. Only lasted for a few seconds though. During one I also imagined there was a dog-headed demon in my closet (which freaked me the f out) but again it only lasted for a couple seconds, which was plenty long enough.
Sleep paralysis doesn't have noise or things moving. It's usually for me a black figure with red eyes straddling me and staring at me. Can't move, and insane panic attack. All I can do is wait it out, which can take hours. I am awake.
I played the hidden cats game on my phone and i got through about 5 different levels before being bored. They were just too easy to find because they stood out so much, but the backgrounds didn't look nearly as AI as yours.
For sleep paralysis, I'm not sure I actually suffer from it? But I do have moments where I will be laying down and unable to move. I'll see and hear things moving about me, but my body refuses to look towards it. Things like hands gripping the side of the bed or curling around doors. Shadows moving on the wall that are just odd enough that you can tell it's not a natural shadow (More like a person's shadow). Noises are usually creaks, minor thuds, and scraping sounds. On rare occasions, it'll be a voice, breathing, or similar "Human" sounds. Sometimes I'll be able to sit up, but unable to turn my head. Or if I turn my head, my eyes are locked to a specific spot. Sometimes, it's just my legs I can move, or just my arms. My cat will usually end up jumping on the bed and then climbing onto me, and that'll snap me out. It feels like when you're waking from a dream while falling, so you get that sensation when you wake up. I'm still not sure if it's a dream state I'm in, or what. Sometimes I'll experience things, and then when I go to wake up, those things will happen (A door creaking open slightly at night, in the morning, someone actually opens the door to wake me up)
In regards to the Hidden Cats game, the developer replied to his review. Its in chinese, but translated it says:
"Is this because the game took too long to find all the cats, so he was very angry?"
Theres three reviews, all negative but they only replied to Kaifs.
Edit - Magic Puzzle King has one too:
"AI is just a tool, just like photoshop, and photoshop itself also supports AI generation. AI does not mean laziness. Instead, more new art forms are represented. The voice against AI will surely be silenced in the rolling wheel of history."
Again, only Kaifs review got a response. They're a bit upset at him...
While AI is a tool, it does not exist to just do 90% of the work, most of the outcry over it isent because of using it, its because of the overdepency on it and the fact the cryptobros latched onto it. It reminds me of CGI, most shows around them were just made 100% CGI until Toy Story shown what CGI could actully do if effort was actully put into it, i could be wrong about Toy story being the one that did this but its the only one i remember.
AI bros suck
@@MifuneShio isn't it the opposite, CGI was seen as a tool only for big companies at first, and then ReBoot showed that it can be used for the weekly cartoons?
@@ten0fclubs70 I only remember stuff like Cubix,Reboot and the old PS1 intros like tekken, also im not pro-AI i just try to look at the positives and negatives and so far when its come to AI use I have only seen negatives because companies are either using it to scam,replace artists or just lower overall costs when it shouldent be that depended on at all.
"In the rolling wheel of history, my laziness will be vindicated" said the very very dedicated game dev
Yeah the first "finding cats" game (Corrected by comments: Traveling Cats) got copied by scammers a lot :/ This one's pretty terrible, not only because of the AI but also they couldn't even get a full image so they just glued the same piece over and over, that sucks
Do you know who else is in Paris?
Was it not the "100 hidden cats" series?
Not sure if they are the orginal (they have the "Cats Hidden In Paris" game i think you are referencing), they are "Travellin Cats" and all their stuff is hand drawn.
@MrKittenAttack Got it, I couldn't remember for sure
Well it's not the same piece glued together over and over. It's specifically 4 variations of the same piece XD
"The voices opposing AI will surely be silenced in the rolling wheels of history" is such a fucking villain, dystopian thing to say, and also, they're wrong, it may be easier for the causal bro to "ignore artists" but we artists will ALWAYS be opposing it unless it's done ethically and without harming the environment (Which I suspect will never be the case), we won't just accept it and especially we won't start using it, even if the AI-bro bubble may not see it, there will always be a group of people that oppose it until it's rightfully dealt with.
Anyway, amazing video Kaiffy! It genuinely makes me happy you're openly Anti-AI and supporting of us artists!!
ai ftw
@@RTInDepth You probably have green cartoon stink lines coming off of you.
They're not wrong. Sadly what do you think happened to make it that AAA games frequently released as broken buggy messes, micro-transactions became majority of profit for most games and games releasing with features removed on day 1. All those things were considered major controversies but have become industry standard. AI saves companies money and as such will be used more and more and if there are controversies around it they will just lie and claim they aren't using it when they do and if caught they will try to normalise it until it just becomes another shitty thing companies do.
Yeah I hate AI, I stream on twitch as a Vtuber and more than once I have bought things only to find out they were ai and I was pissed. If I'm spending money on something I don't want it to be something I can just make myself with fucking AI. I want to support an actual artist who put in the work to make it unique and look proper. I learned my lesson recently and from now on I'm making sure I know the artist and their work before I make any purchases to put money in some scammers pocket. I appreciate artists and their work and I will continue to support actual artists not some generated bullshit.
@@Cybersixx. I recommend Vgen if you haven't checked it out already, it's a really good site for commissioning artists and it's free of AI bs!! I'm on it myself as both a commissioner and an artist!
Sleep Paralysis can make you see things from time to time yes. generally varies from person to person. Personally heard voices before/ seen shadowy figures but thats about all. freaked me out the first couple of times.
only had it once and i just went to back to sleep
I had it several times and every time the hallucinations were wild
First one (the most vivid I remember) was a small ufo that flew in through my window and started drifting around the room, like Tokyo drifting
Usually I can't open my eyes either, while other times its effected my memory and I've forgotten how reality works while stuck there. :p
as a kid i had sleep paralysis a lot, and there was a giant, menacing crab, that filled out the complete back half of my room. it would just stand there in the dark and look at me. sometimes coming closer, without me being able to move, or look away.
YOU ALSO HAD NIGHTMARES OF GIANT CRABS IN CHILDHOOD? @@retroferret3424
8:30 Fun fact about elevator design, the rapid compression of air from them falling creates a natural cushion near the bottom of an elevator shaft. There's a woman who fell I think it was 75 stories? She was injured but recovered.

4:24 AI generated games aren’t allowed on steam (or at least have to disclose it uses mostly AI generated assets) if I recall correctly that is.
Steam rules might just be you have to mark it as contains ai content, in which case yeah it should honestly not be allowed or have a big disclaimer saying it contains a large amount of ai generated assets.
I don't get all the hate for AI because I like seeing what AI can create and it's just cool how far technology has come and as someone who can't make art or edit photos well, it is a useful tool as well. Plus the whole "AI taking jobs" thing isn't true when people thought the same thing about computers or even cars, because we simply adapt to technology and make new jobs with it so I don't get the hate for AI when it is a useful tool for making things some might otherwise not be able to🤷🏼♂️
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 The issue isn't the AI itself, it's the people who scrape the data from others without permission.
@@Slye_FoxThis 100%. I've seen some companies and individuals who are using AI for artwork by feeding a collection of their own artwork to a model. They then turn around and use this model to do certain aspects of their work for them, such as backgrounds or whatnot. I have absolutely no problem with this, as it's using a tool to speed up certain aspects of work.
What I do mind are the models that go out and steal the work of multitudes of artists to then turn around and spit out what boils down to stolen work.
@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 I already replied to you in a different comment
@@DeidaraIsTheBest10I'm pretty sure this is a case of someones account being stolen by an AI promoter bot. Yt doesn't do nearly enough to combat bots in the comments
I dont think you are a old man yelling at clouds with the whole AI thing. Although AI can be used to help make some really cool art, its mostly used by people to be lazy, and scam. It doesnt help that AI uses Art stolen from artists without permission so it's morally grey. Making a whole puzzle game around it then charging money just doesn't feel right, especially getting all worked up over it. idk just my thoughts

@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 It's a sign of laziness. Instead of paying an artist to make the art, you just go to a machine that make a half-assed picture instead. People have also used AI to enter drawing contests and scam the judges and organization pretending that they drew the entries (look at Pokémon drawing contests for instance). They prefer to use a soulless algorythm than the creativity of a person. Also, AI "art" uses stolen creations without permission, so it's built upon theft and doesn't credit the original posters nor gives them any kind of compensation. Not a good basis if you ask me.
AI art will never compare to what a talented person can do, but people and corpos prefer to save some bucks than support artists cause greed. This can hurt little starting peers or lower their income because clients prefer AI slop. Lastly, it can discourage people from taking artistic careers because they might think it's not worth it if a machine can do it. This is why AI "art" is bad and should have never been invented.

From the times I've had sleep paralysis, each one was different from seeing stuff, hearing things and smells; but they all made my sense of dread shoot up. I know its in my head and all, but man does it fuck with you if you can't force yourself back asleep. Used to do that and just say to myself "Sleep is more important if I die it was just my time."
"The voices opposing AI will surely be silenced in the rolling wheels of history" ... the scariest part about this is, the realization when you lived through the rise of DLCs and predatory micro-transactions. The controversy fricking horse-armor for Oblivion was, and now it's one of the less bad ones. When games did not release with a plethora of game-breaking bugs because ... you know, they had to get burned onto a disk and it was not guaranteed that people playing the game have internet for downloading patches. When games came in full on boxes with goodies like a cloth-map, or figurines and stuff for normal price, before they switched to dvd-cases and started the collectors-editon-trend. Which is now a "pay 150 Euro for a pink left cheek skin and 3 days early access". When the "new" Simcity came out and we cried out against always-online.
The voices did get silenced by the wheels of time, and a new generation of gamers trained on the expectation, that all those things are just normal and how video-games are. :( I fear AI will be added to that pile.
ive got a background in it and art, and i dont know how you can copyright and sell a game that uses art frankenseined from artists that didnt consent. I think there will be a revolution with artists suing companies, and as soon as we win those, they will get scared. some laws will start happening, and theres already talk about laws being put in place. but since ai developed faster than anyone could have imagined, laws and rulings are waaaay behind, and need to be updated.
The only way AI will ever 'replace' anything made by people is if it can learn. When you code something, the computer has absolutely no idea what anything is, you have to type in specific code to define every possible aspect for it to even work.
Now with AI, the issue is that it's still a program that needs someone to code in for it to do anything. At best, AI can and will only be able to mimic without understanding. (And without that understanding it will never replace people). That's why AI art and the like look uncanny or scuffed. No self respecting game designer or artist would focus on AI art. (Not including stuff like CGI to enhance what they already have, but that in itself is also requiring of an artist)
31:08 As for someone who experiences sleep paralysis often it is way worst than that, the game is too silent, where in in my experience everything is loud and all of my senses are overwhelmed also, you cannot move anything you are stuck looking at where your face is facing and hopes for the best that no entity created by my brain would go near or in front of my face, also even if I am not that religious, I am forced to pray for my dear life.
Edit: By way worse, the game is in easy mode and what I experience is nightmare difficulty
Time basically doesn't exist when it's happening to me, that happen to you?
I only had it once, but was facing a wall at the time so I never actually saw anything but the feeling of not being able to move at all even though your trying your hardest is a really horrible feeling.
I don't know if its sleep paralysis or what, but as a kid I'd wake up from these dreams unable to move. And it downright terrified me. More recently I had something like that happen and I started freaking out.
@@DatdudegilToo yep it's like you're stuck in that position for eternity praying it all ends
For me it's probably better because I don't see anything nor hear but it doesn't help. The feeling of helplessness, it's not a good one, especially after a nightmare, you try to wake up but you just lay there. Yours though is terrific , probably sleep paralysis is dependent on your ability to imagine. For example, you have one which is imagery, second feeling, maybe sounds, depends
I get sleep paralysis fairly often. I’ve never had the kind where I’m able to open my eyes and have them play tricks on me. When I experience it, i feel like I can’t breathe, but I can’t open my eyes or move to try to help myself. It’s pretty scary tbh it’s like I’m experiencing the last moments before death 😅

I've had sleep paralysis a few times but I never got to have a ghost stalking me. It always was just that I couldn't move and could barely breathe. The last time it happened I kept trying to yell out and finally my wife came in and asked if I was okay because I was making weird moaning noises, which finally woke me up properly.
A friend of mine once told me that sometimes he would wake up and there would be sharks swimming in his floor, so I guess it's different for different people?
Something to note: when I'm having sleep paralysis I don't realize I'm having it until I wake up. The one time I did realize it I was like "okay I know what this is" and although it was still terrifying to not be able to move at least I knew that it would end at some point. Pretty sure I fell back to sleep and woke up normally later.
I got a sleep paralysis event once and it was the coolest experience I had... after I figured out I wasn't paralyzed.
Everyone keeps thinking of the hallucination parts as a required prerequisite, but about 25% of the cases don't have any-- like mine! So yeah, it's generally personal, because it's hallucinations.
My sleep paralysis experience started rough, because I woke up completely paralyzed, not even able to move or open my eyes. I tried REALLY hard to get past the "movement block" (long summary short, when you go to sleep a part of your brain "locks down" so you don't go around trying to move IRL because you're doing it in your dreams) and focused on trying to flex fingers. I managed a controlled twitch of my pinkie after WAY too long thinking it "louder" (it's what I'd do in lucid dreams to force the dream to bend and let me do something it didn't want me to do) and that confirmed I didn't get suddenly quadriplegic.
Until I confirmed I wasn't paralyzed medically, I had breathing issues that were just me stressing OUT. But after I realized "oh, THAT'S why it's called sleep paralysis!" my breathing evened out back to rest and I stopped feeling trapped.
It's actually really cozy as a state, when you're not panicking and stressed out and trying to fight it. Like being stuck RIGHT at the point before you conk out, but aware enough to appreciate it. I ended up falling back asleep after probably a few minutes of just lying there being cozy doing my impression of a ragdoll. 9/10 would go again, maybe without the paralysis scare.
@@neoqwertylucky bro, I’ve tried everything on RUclips to experience sleep paralysis/lucid dreaming but to no luck :(

"uploaded 19 seconds ago"... don't mind if i do!
Shame I wasnt awake at 3:25am
My first and only sleeping paralysis (so far) experience: my bedroom door is a sliding door in my apartment. When I was fully awake but couldn't open my eyes for some reason (and fully conscious), I sensed my bedroom door slide open. A dark shadow figure entered my bedroom. (Don't know how and why I could sense so much detail on him) A man was wearing a dressing hat, a grey coat usually worn on top of suits. He was getting closer. There is a tree outside of my apartment unit, and I thought he must've climbed up the tree and entered my unit (I always leave my patio door unlocked). My heart rate started increasing, and I started getting sweaty. I started roaring (not sure if I made the sound or not). I keep telling myself: open my eyes, open my eyes. Ahhhhh. Don't know how long had passed, my eyes suddenly snapped open. In short: no one was in my apartment. I was all alone. It was around 4 a.m., had roughly 5 hours of sleep. Couldn't sleep anymore after that, so I went for a walk (summer time). From this experience, I always lock my patio door now.
that coat hanger made me drop my open energy drink now i have to clean my floor :(
When it comes to Steam games that use any form of AI art, from music to pictures to writing, it should need to be disclosed in the description, That way, people who don't want to support it won't get tricked into it.
I think that is already a requirement.
@@greywolf5590 If it is, it's not the way that it should be. Just saying "There's some AI content" isn't enough - what kind of content, how much, etc is needed. People are more likely to overlook some script writing than music or art, and one song is very different from a whole soundtrack.
it is, as of january this year i believe (?). underneath the 'about this game' section, there will be an 'ai generated content disclosure' section.
a paragraph from steam's statement on it: "First, we are updating the Content Survey that developers fill out when submitting to Steam. The survey now includes a new AI disclosure section, where you'll need to describe how you are using AI in the development and execution of your game."

@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 It's because to be able to generate images, it steals from millions of artists who didn't consent, breaching their copyright and essentially creating things from the mangled corpses of our hard work, it also is horrible for the environment, do any ounce of research and you'll realize it isn't "just a tool" and cannot be compared to actual artistic tools, and I also don't understand why AI is being focused to take away human expression and creativity, but not remove actual dangerous and detrimental work.
The ghost climbing next to you while smiling on the bed just made me laugh every time, couldn't take any of it seriously.
The dialogue actually ruins the sleep paralysis game. It's a showcase that less can be more. You get significantly more by letting players imaginations run. Let their own inner monologue play. Not stiff AI generated text.
Sleep paralysis for me makes me panicky. I want to scream, but I can't because I can't move my body, and i have a really loud ringing in my ears occasionally. One time, I did halucinate someone opening and closing my bedroom door, then a figure cloaked in shadows placed his hands through my chest, and I felt like I couldn't breathe. That was definitely the worst experience I've ever had, truly horrifying.
I experience sleep paralysis on a somewhat regular basis, once or twice a month, and most of the time it's just like the beginning of the game . I dream that I have woken up but can't move, and then something happens ; I see movement like 30:40 or hear whispers or anything at all, mostly something random . But the difference is that as soon as the shadow moves through the room , I'm stuck with an immense wave of fear , and I feel cold sweat all over my body until my vision starts to slowly blacken and I begin to wake up. It feels like a solid 10-15 seconds. I can try to scream or shake myself awake , but nothing works, and the moment I wake up, most of the time I feel extremely exhausted and fall back asleep . If I fall asleep again too quickly , without staying awake for some time, I could experience it all over again, like some sort of vicious circle.
Too answer the question about sleep paralysis is that you can hallucinate be unable to move due to the body being in a state of rem, and most of the time it only lasts for anywhere between 30 mins or longer depending on your state of exhaustion. So yes in a way it's accurate but everyone deals with something different, and sometimes it's not really scary but comforting. My reason for knowing this is I had a experience of this myself and I knew someone else who struggled with it to a much more intense degree.
It absolutely does NOT last anywhere near that long, please stop exaggerating it and stop spreading false information. It lasts for max like 10 seconds.
@user-ky2hg7fg4j I'm not, as I said I dealt with it myself and had known people who had as well. Just because in your circumstance it doesn't, doesn't mean I'm lying. I'm giving you information from my perspective and what I've seen and have dealt with. I apologize that you feel I am lying but I am not.
Valve did update their Agreements on the Developer/publisher side about AI Generated content and especially that it needs to be LEGAL. so maybe another legal case kaif can dive into in the gaming sphere? :D

Whoever they cast as that Kaif guy deserves a raise!
I have a very rare but recursive form of sleep paralysis, not really the scary sleep paralysis demon type, just I physically feel like I've woken up and begun walking around and almost rubber band into my bed, I also lucid dream though so I can tell when it's happening, but it's one of the few dreams that I have zero control over.
when i had sleep paralysis it was pretty similar though probably scarier…
but yeah, you are in a moment of being awake while still dreaming at the same time, which is why you can’t move your muscles.
i couldn’t move anything at all and i had this creepy “alien” monster thingy slowly approaching me and every time i closed my eyes (had to blink) it’d get closer to me and started crawling onto my bed and on my legs.
everyone experiences it differently of course, but yeah the point of it is that you’re still dreaming while being awake which is why you can experience “hallucinations” and can’t move anything at all.
actually having now seen the ending yeah i was getting crawled on just like the ghost was lol. (i was typing this while watching)
that fnaf copy had scary amount of people in the credits all things considered..
I’ve been scrolling and refreshing through RUclips for half an hour now looking for a video to watch while I finish knitting some Christmas gifts. Thank you for your service 😭🙏
Whenever I've had sleep paralysis I've never had hallucinations and I've never opened my eyes. I tend to start shaking my head from side to side to start getting the body going. I've shouted a couple of times as well, but not as wild as some people have it.
Honestly, sleep paralysis is terrifying feeling like u can't breathe just seeing wat u see if it's real or a dream
that coathanger jumpscare got me a bit too good- I choked on my ice tea 😭
I have two free puzzle games on steam, they both have DLC that aren't expensive either, but they also have free updates constantly. The best thing about one of them is that its basically like putting puzzles together in real life, without all the stress of losing pieces, not having enough space for the puzzle, or having to move the puzzle out of the way to do another one. And the team that made that game also supports other small devs. If someone really wants to put together AI generated puzzles, then go play that game and choose to put together a puzzle with your own image, just this time you don't have to give money to someone who is basically selling AI generated art to you.
I've also noticed that all these hidden cats games popped up thanks to the Travelin' Cats games, which are made by small developers who put care into the art in their game, and its genuinely challenging to find the cats, in one they put bonus levels of ones they made that they thought were too easy to be the whole game. The other thing with them is they also have a timed mode so you can try to see how fast you can find the cats.
OutRUN actually is very similar to a movie I saw once, but I can't remember the name or when it came out so idk who's "copying" who
The movie follows a woman who survived a horrible attacker that killed her family. She's either working a nightshift or staying the night at a hotel, I can't remember which. She does connect with a resident who was kinda running away from home? After the protag shares her terrifying story the girl decides that tomorrow she'll go back home to her mom. Then a scary guy shows up who looks like the murderer, the ghosts of her mom and sister show up, and eventually its revealed she's insane and she killed her own family at a super young age. Then she was locked up for years until she only just recently escaped before the mocie transpires. She kills the therapist(?), the resident she connected with, and a random hotel worker. I think she also killed a plumber? I only really remember that at the end of their movie she hid all of the bodies in a hole inside a pool, then she changed her name and took over the hotel herself, occasionally going mad and killing people again I guess
In Bobo's Funzone's bowling level the monster's sound was directly copied from FNAF: Security Breach
Had sleep paralysis once before. Black shadowy entity in the corner of my room. Could not move for 2 minutes until waking up.
i had fun with the receptionist game playing magical sound shower for background music.
the demons in my room at night are pretty chill as long as you're chill,
but the child who sleeps on the bed tends to get upset if they see me in the room at night,
so i tend to look for cozy spots in the wardrobe to rest in, preferably with some nice fresh laundry to use as a mattress.
31:06 can confirm sleep paralysis is pretty similar.. although I haven't seen things like doors opening or hearing sounds? More just shadow figures in the corners of the room, next to my bed, or hovering over me. Used to happen quite often to me in college and I'd wake myself up by screaming. You ever had that feeling where you're trying to run, jump, etc but can't in a dream? That's what it felt like but I couldn't scream then would eventually wake up and realize I was screaming but couldn't hear myself. Shit was horrible lmao but I think it just came on from the stress of college and life at the time.. went on for months. This has since stopped and very rarely happens anymore.
not going to lie, that coat hanger got a good flinch outta me. Yikes x)
that Jumpscare of the coathanger caught me off guard like holy shit
I get sleep paralysis but in a weird way where I immediately know I have it and just keep my eyes closed until I can get myself up. Ironically you’re one of the RUclipsrs I’ll turn on a video from to keep myself from having it happen again. For some reason listening to people talking keeps it from happening for me
11:50 I thought this EXACT thing was gonna happen horizontally earlier with the elevator door instead, I'm glad I predicted the vibes! 😂
the worst sleep paralysis i had was when i couldn't move nothing at all not even my eyelids i though i died or when blind for about an hour
I have experienced sleep paralysis multiple times in the past and the experience is honestly terrifying. It goes like this, I will be laying on my back in my bed unable to move, everything looks exactly like my room and the room will change to look exactly like whatever room I am sleeping in at the time. People will show up, people that I know, sometimes its my mother or father, but the worst was when my grandmother walked into my room, walked to the foot of my bed, leaned over and elongated her neck to get right in front of my face. This would be scary in a normal dream but add to the fact you can feel yourself trying to move but can't, I can only describe it like when your arm or leg falls asleep so the limbs feel incredibly heavy and instead of being able to sluggishly move around on pins and needles, unable to move them at all. Hope this helps the game make a little more sense.
Mainly sleep on my side when I have sleep paralysis, couple things for my experience:
- Feels like I have my phone flashlight pointed in my face, I can only count 2 times when this happened that it feels like I left my phone flashlight on. Looking back, all I remember is a light.
- Unsettling feeling of not having mobility in my body, like I’m being buried under a heavy weight blanket and I can’t move my limbs. It’s worse when I move my toes (recommended form of getting out of it) and I feel like I’m in control of my body, but then I’m suddenly weighed down again. Happened 3-4 times in a night.
- My first experience gave me auditory and visual hallucinations, scared the f out of me. But now it’s replaced with a heavy sense of dread, and sometimes the feeling that I’m being watched.
4:34 is the funniest fkn moment 😂😂😂 love u kaif
The sleep paralysis game reminds me a bit of those early VR horror games where you are locked in place and can only watch the scary stuff around you. It improves upon that by giving sort of mechanics and quick time events to make it a real game.
sleep paralysis is terrifying. i suffer from it, i get a few instances a year. its different for everyone but for me its like you can only move your eyes, you cant yell or scream, its like being hit in the face with a heavy gust of wind, nothing comes out like your breath is caught. my body personally feels like its spasming while im trying to move to the best of my ability but nothing is actually happening. Ive never been one to see my hallucinations but i hear them, creaking floorboards, breathing behind my head, scratching at the door or sometimes just a huge sense of impending doom that you just cant shake. its gotten to a point i can tell if its going to happen while im dreaming, as you often "awake" from a dream to experience them but that doesnt change just how god damn scary they are and the fact i wish i could never ever experience..or remember them again.
thanks for coming to my tedtalk :3
the game gets SOME things right, but its definitely exaggerated and the main character is WAAAY to chill about just..not being able to move lmao
i can testify that the one time i remember having sleep paralysis there was a whole plot involving zombie aliens
All I got from sleep paralysis was a banshee wailing sound.
I've had sleep paralysis once in my life and it looked kind of like I was reverse-blinking very fast, like I had my eyes closed and I tried to open them but I could only open them for a short moment before they would close again, otherwise I had no control over my movement. My face was facing my window and the curtain had a pattern that looked like if the letter Y had 5 lines at the top and 1 at the bottom instead of 2 at the top and 1 at the bottom so it kind of looked like a hand and every time I reverse-blinked the "hand" looked like it was getting closer to me. It didn't take too long for me to wake up so I took down the curtain and I'm never using it again.
I actually had an episode when I was young, and I was very terrified, 'cause I couldn't move, saw something emerging from my closet, and somehow I managed to get out of being stun locked. It's what it feels like when you're in a video game type thing sad but true.😢
My sleep paralysis has included me feeling like a blanket was so heavy I couldn't breathe and one where something in the corner of my eye looked like someone was there but I couldn't move my head
My oven just went off to tell me my pizza ready at the same time as you announcing it's pizza time 😯
Thankyou!
That mascot horror game used a lot of maps that were exactly the same as the Backrooms games.
as someone that has had it before its actually pretty close. although nothing gets to you, you normally wake up before hand. its really horrifying to have. it can scar you if you let it haunt you enough. i would say its about 8/10 on accuracy.
30:02 yes this is what its like to have sleep paralysis its like that scary
Can confirm, that sleep paralysis can make you feel, hear or see things that are not there.
In my cases, this included seeing figures, for example one on the ceiling, approaching me and lying on my chest when I noticed it. However, of course this game is compleatlely exaggerated. In case this sounds scary to you, keep in mind that it is just a form of hallucination, that happens if your bain is not fully awakened or asleap and a complately normal phenomenon that happens to most people at some point.
23:11 This reminds me so much of a mix between two movies I watched recently on Amazon Prime...I really wish I could remember the name of them. They were pretty decent if not a bit confusing at points The big differences were location (one took place at a big indoor hotel I believe in Ireland? and the other took place mainly at a small gas station/pantry)
Regarding the sleep paralysis question: In my case, I've never seen anything during it. But each time it has happened it has happened it was like waking up inside of a dream. Everything's hazy, hard to move- one time I was able, only once- towards the end, but there was always something that was the same. Every time there was a terrifying feeling around me that was suffocating, sometimes I'd feel it pressing down on the bed around me, and a couple times I've heard some deep voice that I can't understand. Scurry stuff
For the first one I don't think the cats not fitting the art style is dead giveaway, that just makes it a bit easier to actually find things in hidden object games.
All the other stuff made it pretty clear though. Definitely AI swill.
1:46 Schrödinger's Cat, no longer just a thought experiment
The person falling from the ceiling. Id love to imagine she was casually chilling playing guitar, slips and thats why she falls through the house
I have had sleep paralysis a handful of time, and yeah, it can be pretty wild. You wouldn't be able to move your head though. I use to hear voices a lot, had a very memorable one where a shadow lady monster slowly walked toward the side of my bed and when she touched me I woke up fully and was able to move. Would see my roommate come in sometimes even though he'd be at work or asleep himself.
The most consistent thing that happens to me during my sleep paralysis is its hard to breathe or cant breath manually which sends me into to panic mode. Its like waking where every part of your body is auto pilot besides your eyes and awareness, and cant turn on manual mode to move your body or breathe manually.
As a person who had sleep paralysis. I had times where i couldn't move or even speak, I even saw a shadow person next to my bed. I even felt hands touching me. Granted, i was taking a depression pill at night, which made me have it. So now i just take them in the morning and haven't had sleep paralysis since.
Occasionally I’ll have a weird pseudo-sleep paralysis where I’m mostly conscious, but I can’t wake up fully, no matter how much I want to. So I’ll just be laying there, thinking desperately to myself to wake up, but unable to move or open my eyes. Oddly distressing, despite nothing really happening.
I have sleep paralysis after major stress events in my life. They deal, in my older age now, with someone looing like my dad but with a dangerous aura at the end of my bed. I usually end up finally waking up and throwing a pillow across the room where he had been. When I was little, I was walking by a house MADE of fire and not being able to shake myself awake at all until I forcefully make myself land hard on my floor.
I have had sleep paralysis since I was around 6, from having it every night to having it once or twice a year been a god send. The shit Ive seen and the pain and horror is enough to make a horror movie out of :D From a demon opening up my door to just stand at the foot of my bed just looking at me while loud machine sounds,woman and babies crying and the whole room violently shaking and vibrating to a Resident evil licker look a like demon crawling onto my bed and ripping out my inside and I felt all of it. yep, it can be really really bad
Love this series ngl
I've had sleep paralysis a few times... It is honestly one of the scariest things I have ever experienced I couldn't move or breathe I tried to scream but nothing happened. There is nothing like lying next to your spouse, wanting nothing more than to touch them, feeling as if you must be dying... Zero stars.
I've had sleep paralysis, it occurs to me every 6 months or so, I usually don't see the "shadows" although I have once iirc. Basically, you are clearly awake but completely unable to move- that is the terrifying part for me. I basically focus on willing my fingers and toes to move at that point. It always wears off but to the just-woke-up mind its friggan terrifying.
That sleep paralysis game makes me think of the Joy of Creation when you play as the child
The hidden cats game on console are really good and made by nice people who love cats!
This one is an obvious scam AI rip off... It's kind of sad
6:46 there’s probably something with a group of colors so you know the order
but both 3 and 5 seem to be yellow, so even with a color hint, you’d still have to brute force it…
The way sleep paraysis actually works is quite fascinating, so it's caused by the bodies' natural actions being disturbed your brain paralyzes your muscles so they dont act out your dreams but your REM cycle is disturbed so you are conscious but can't move (this can be caused by sleep disorders such as narcolepsy or sleep apnea)
The last one looks like it won't be a nightmare too some guys tbh
8:41 Isn’t that map from Escape The Backrooms? Thats just Level 3 The Electrical Station.. 😅
that bobo's funzone thing that hurt Kaif's ears, that made my head ring, like a lot
I cannot fanthom how much worse that was for him, if toned down made me have a slight headache that must have given him a migraine
i had sleep paralyse once, and for me at least i was awake but body was locked so anything that happens around you can be perceived, e.g. a door opening, the wind, a flash of a light from outside, etc, etc.
Thought I might share my experiences with Sleep Paralysis. I've only had it twice and that was within the span of the last year. The first time I was sleeping on a couch and had woken unable to move and at the time, other than my eyes I saw a dark figure standing over me. I had left the light on and could see my surroundings clearly. I had recognized it as sleep paralysis and tried taking rapid deep breaths to try and jolt myself out of the paralysis, I had tried experimenting with lucid dreaming ( I didn't really get anywhere with that) and had learnt a wee bit about it. After a few moments I had properly come about and was fine, found it a bit amusing though was a tad freaked out.
The second time was a few months back. I was in my bedroom this time, lights off and the walls are just painted cinder blocks essentially. This time I woke up seeing at the time a dark figure and I thought the brick pattern was like a lecture hall with people watching me. After a few moments it again passed though I think it lasted a bit longer that time around.
Those are my only experiences with sleep paralysis though I have had my fair share of weird things happening when tired and nearly asleep in bed such as hearing voices or music, though no visual hallucinations.
31:21 I have sleep paralysis a few times a year. Usually it’s just annoying and I try to wake up for an unknown amount of time. I’d consider it akin to lucid dreaming without actual control of the dream.
Occasionally I get stuck in a nightmare type of situation, and those are truly terrifying. Usually just seeing something creepy that stands or gets closer, kinda like the latter half (without the dying lol)
Honestly not a terrible representation of paralysis, without the sound jumpscares
I occasionally suffer from sleep paralysis... It varies from person to person, but with me, I become very aware of my own heart beat and breathing. Painfully aware. I also will sometimes hear either someone talking, or distorted music, despite no one else living with me.
Thankfully it's very rare, as it only happens if I'm on my back (side sleeper mostly) and only when I'm horribly sleep deprived, and can usually kick myself out of it before it goes on too long... I feel for those who suffer through the harsh ones.
My first and only sleep paralysis didn’t have a monster it was instead my dad yelling at me and when i tried to reason or at least run away from him i find i was paralysed.
When i woke up i felt so terrible that I couldn’t even cope with being in my bedroom anymore completely paranoid of the event happening again. so i went to the living room and played Ace Attorney because im also not going back to sleep after all that.
Terrible start to christmas.
You're the only rat shaker for me
20:55 a good way of the dev doing this might be a line like "Yikes.... That'll have to be good enough!" and then getting an objective to return to the reception area??
11:15 i'm sorry but that just made me burst out laughing lmao.
My sleep paralysis is super intense lol. Ive had like rats crawl all over my body, people in the room, etc. luckily i have yet to be murdered by a ghost however
Sleep paralysis is kind of like this but you also feel like all over the place without being able to move any part of your body, thinking also feels weird, that's what i remember
Sleep paralysis is honestly scary. I am fully awake and aware but cannot move my body or open my eyes or scream, but I can still hear. It can last for a couple of seconds or for minutes for me and I can have multiple instances of sleep paralysis in a night.
Had sleep paralysis a few times. The worst I remember is I was takin a nap in the middle of the day. Was hallucinating that a guy came into my room and was sitting on me about to put a bunch of needles into my back. I was on my stomach and couldnt breath well. I tried calling my roomate for help, later when I was fully awake i asked if he heard me and he said I was making weird moaning noises
I had sleep paralysis at some point that was so bad I still believe the feeling of my bed being violently shaken for a split second felt WAY to real.
Oh yeah, also obviously the door opening and spooky women, come on man. First time? xD
i used to have sleep pralysis like 2 years ago like once a week or so and no this is not the experience:)) its usually really short since you force yourself to wake up, for me there was no sound just some weird imagery and being extremely alert, its kinda if you get super stoned. its a terryfing experience at first but you get used to it
Had sleep paralysis a few times, for me it was more of a panic being half awake and unable to move. Only lasted for a few seconds though. During one I also imagined there was a dog-headed demon in my closet (which freaked me the f out) but again it only lasted for a couple seconds, which was plenty long enough.
Sleep paralysis doesn't have noise or things moving. It's usually for me a black figure with red eyes straddling me and staring at me. Can't move, and insane panic attack. All I can do is wait it out, which can take hours. I am awake.
I played the hidden cats game on my phone and i got through about 5 different levels before being bored. They were just too easy to find because they stood out so much, but the backgrounds didn't look nearly as AI as yours.
For sleep paralysis, I'm not sure I actually suffer from it? But I do have moments where I will be laying down and unable to move. I'll see and hear things moving about me, but my body refuses to look towards it. Things like hands gripping the side of the bed or curling around doors. Shadows moving on the wall that are just odd enough that you can tell it's not a natural shadow (More like a person's shadow). Noises are usually creaks, minor thuds, and scraping sounds. On rare occasions, it'll be a voice, breathing, or similar "Human" sounds.
Sometimes I'll be able to sit up, but unable to turn my head. Or if I turn my head, my eyes are locked to a specific spot.
Sometimes, it's just my legs I can move, or just my arms.
My cat will usually end up jumping on the bed and then climbing onto me, and that'll snap me out. It feels like when you're waking from a dream while falling, so you get that sensation when you wake up.
I'm still not sure if it's a dream state I'm in, or what. Sometimes I'll experience things, and then when I go to wake up, those things will happen (A door creaking open slightly at night, in the morning, someone actually opens the door to wake me up)
