Note for the editors: I really appreciate in the begining with the text how you made Jack semi see through so we could both see the text and Jack until he was done reading through that section of text. Thank you for that.
the developers should've done more with the game. I'd be pissed if I spent money just to look at weird shit in a building and seeing a moon getting bigger.
The thing about the Y2K Bug is that it WAS an issue that could have absolutely borked a LOT of things. So computer programmers worked for years leading up to January 1st to correct the computational issues that would have caused global computer crashes. So when nothing happened the narrative became that it was NEVER an issue instead of one we cut off at the pass.
i hope jack reads this. i'm an IT guy and this always shocks people! the general public have no idea how hard people worked to avoid this actual crisis. banking systems, airport traffic controllers, public transportation infrastructure, THE INTERNET. so many things couldve broken down horribly!
People panicked over it but even in areas where minimal to nothing was done about it the errors encountered were minimal to non-existent. So while it's speculated that it had the potential to crash things it can also be argued that it wasn't going to crash systems. There's arguments to be made in both directions. But to say nothing at all happened is not true. There were certain systems in certain companies around the world that experienced errors at the turn to 2000 including bus machines, bank machines, and other services.
Seán saw a cult circle with what he believed to be cultists and he decided that the vest place to walk through would be the middle of the circle. What a genius
To clarify for those confused by Sean's tangent: the 'Y2K bug' was a programming glitch that stemmed from an ill-advised shortcut that went into the development of most of the major OSs in use in the '90s -- to save space in the code, the system clocks were often coded to omit the first two digits of the year, incrementing from '98' to '99'... but they weren't all told what to do after '99'. In fairness, the issue likely wouldn't have been _as_ catastrophic as the media suggested at the time -- indeed, there was a degree of Y2K end-times hysteria that I remember -- but a cascade of unhandled exceptions in operating systems across the globe would've been _chaotic_ at a minimum, and for those of you too young to remember that time period, chaos was the _last_ thing we needed. That nothing really _happened_ when the clocks rolled over to 1/1/00 was due in large part to the efforts of the programmers and systems engineers who knew the problem was there and worked diligently through the late '90s to develop and implement a fix for the issue -- a truly Herculean task when you consider that it wasn't as simple as putting out a patch that anyone could download over Wi-fi over the span of a coffee break. The moral of the story? _Be polite to programmers -- they make it possible to watch the funny Irishman play horror games on the RUclipss._
I was a computer programmer's kid in the 90s, and basically the only thing I remember about the Y2K bug is my dad's continuous "oh, ffs people" attitude about it. I mean, people really thought we'd revert to the stone age instead of something more realistic like the time just before computers were widespread - AKA, the time my parents were in _college._
Thank you. I was coming to the comment section to say just this. It WAS going to be a problem, but it was identified ahead of time and taken care of before any issues could occur. That seems to be a recurring theme with humanity. Bad thing didn't happen, therefore it wasn't gonna happen despite the effort put in by millions of people to stop it.
I remember. I was studying IT at the time. Sure the world wouldn't come to an end exactly but key systems such as banks, air traffic schedules and hospitals that relied on up to date information to support human lives could have gone horribly wrong. Exactly as you explained, thankfully a lot of programmers and system engineers were working very hard to update all the systems to avoid the chaos and catastrophe. Particularly with the planes and hospitals. Thankfully IT people make viewing this possible.
@@VixeyTeh _Exactly!_ Honestly, so many people take their modern conveniences for granted -- there's too little respect for all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes, and too little thanks for it.
The part where Jack was staring at the Moon sigil on the TV and his face was distorting/going pale was an amazing touch! Love your videos and always look forward to them!! Take care!!!
Editors: The idea of making Sean a little transparent at the beginning so we could read the text was fantastic work! Not enough credit goes out to the men and women that edit this stuff for our enjoyment. Thank you to you all and keep up the amazing work!
They do a lot better stuff than just "making sean transparent" they're the ones who go through hours of footage, putting little bits of funny hahas here, and cutting things out to make the video work. they're way better than people would think.
@@KalebTheDuck okay calm down there passive aggressive hero. The fact that op acknowledges the editors is already great. Yes, “they’re way better than people would think” but most people don’t know the in’s and out’s of editing (like you or I do), so acknowledgment of how good the editing is, is good enough. This isn’t what Jack’s channel is about. be more accepting of others, even if they don’t know as much as you or I do. Edit: if your comment wasn’t supposed to sound pass-aggro, I’ll be the first to apologize.
@@hellothereskellies My comment wasn't supposed to be passive aggressive, i was just trying to say how they do more than make him trans parent, basically giving more of a compliment towards the editors.
This whole game, the latin-ish names, the cult vibes, the messages on the black boards... it all reminds me of Hoer Verde, a Brazilian town whose population (around 600) just vanished one day, without a single trace of where they were gone, except for one message, written on a black board in the town's school: "There is no salvation" Perhaps there is inspiration there for the game, perhaps just coincidence, in any way, interesting game and fascinating video!
10:22 Man... Jack is really thinking a lot more about his content creation these days. Also kind of nice that he treats his viewers like... they're mature. Also that definitely worked on me.
It also worked on me. He started talking about it and I was like “You know what? I _do_ think that’s a better idea for thumbnails” and realized the one he chose to stick with is what interested me
I mean, a lot of us were in mid/late teens when we started watching him and sort of grew up “with” him, so it makes sense that he treats his audience as “mature” because a lot of us are. I honestly don’t know if we’re the majority though, most of the audience might still be kids
Okay. Jack’s “dah moooooon” statements gave me flashbacks to when I was a child, riding on the bus with my parents, screaming “DAH MOON.” I was like 3 and it was the first time I’d really seen a full moon. lol, thank you for the unprompted nostalgia. XD
There really was a hospital in Brazil that was shut down around '97 for "unspecified reasons" after millions had been spent on its construction. Coincidentally it also led to one of the worst radioactive exposure events in history.
@@ridiculouslyshort If they're talking about the Goiânia Incident, it wasn't as bad as chernobyl but it was still pretty bad. 4 deaths and over 200 contaminated. Caused by two scrappers taking a teletherapy unit from an abandoned hospital and opening its capsule of caesium chloride.
@@ridiculouslyshort “one of the worst” doesnt mean THE worst. chernobyl is next level. doesn’t take other bad radioactive exposure incidents out of the list of radioactive incidents though.
@@lesbnlime And even Chernobyl's long term death toll estimates tend to be "some thousands" over nearly a 100 years. If course it was a hugely big deal, but even then the real effects are usually way less severe than people think. Even taking into account all the nuclear plant mishaps we've had (thankfully not too many of them), mortality rates for coal energy are ~1 000 times higher per terawatt produced...
@@user9999-z Tbf other youtubers have been playing these for years. I'm super happy Jack is getting into these. I enjoyed this. I usually enjoy Manlybadasshero's horror playthroughs.
4:30 Y2K was an actual computer bug that would have had actually bad consequences that was only averted due to thousands of computer programmers working millions of hours, costing billions of dollars to fix it. Just because nothing happened at 1/1/2000 doesn't mean the threat wasn't real. I mean, there were some people who went WAY overboard with their predictions of doom and gloom, like building whole bomb shelters with a decade of canned food and supplies because they believed it was going to be the end of the world, but it was an actual issue that took a lot of manpower to fix and prevent.
In nutshell, remember How old old people always said things like “back in the summer of ‘69”? (I say old old because I’m considered old now) Yeah, well computers said that too. All of them did. They didn’t know the difference between 1969’ and 2069. Or 1900 and 2000… see where I’m going with this? Everything has to be updated. Not just your PS5 (or PS4 for the plebs) but the computer that your pleb ps3 has to talk to if it wants to know it you need to update. What does y2k look like on a small scale? My date system got screwed up on an old dash cam and it constantly recorded over the latest recording so I only had date from 5 minutes ago and 2 months ago by the time I noticed
Yeah, it's kind of annoying to see when people think it wasn't a big deal, the only reason it's like that is because the IT industry collectively made sure that it wouldn't be, and succeeded.
On a sidenote, can i just say i love Robin's editing And also, i feel like Seàn is the horror king now with all the bangers we've been getting for awhile
The “fada” is to the right. á not à! Not that it really matters to us who don’t use them (aka us pleb English speakers) but I’m pretty sure it changes the whole name when it’s facing a diff direction.
The only two language options are: "English" and "Português-BR" and that brings a big smile to my lips, as it means the game was made by my own countrymen. Love to see the work they do being seen and recognized by others outside of our own country.
I loved the atmosphere in this. Other short indie horrors you may enjoy: Insomnis A date in the park Title pending (demo) Veiled How we know we're alive (not a horror but amazing) Midnight scenes The death: thần trùng Blameless Pamali Indonesian folklore horror Apologies if you played these already, I can't recall at the top ofdahmorningtoyouya head Cheers!
I remember streaming this game to my family on a discord call late at night, a couple days ago. It was one of the most tension inducing games I've played recently, no real jumpscares, just atmospheric and tension-building. Always love that in a horror game!
Love how casual Jack is now. There's the obvious of him becoming less hyperactive over the years, but lately it's just had this casual vibe we love. Like, the outros now are just the classic "like and subscribe if you enjoyed." Todays vid opened with him doing the up down thing to sync the audio. Idk maybe I'm not making sense but for some odd reason we like it.
@@AnnaGreenMoon Not really, he was diagnosed just a few months ago and he was already pretty chill. I don’t even really notice that big of a difference, his personality is exactly the same
"Is it THE MOON!?" The best thing about watching Sean do horror games is when there's a laughable conspiracy theory running parallel to the actual horror, and he just helps to keep himself - and us - calm by joking about the goofy stuff. As someone with a WEAK constitution/stomach, and ADHD myself, I appreciate this one thousand fold.
To answer your question, yes, the thumbnail did in fact intrigue me and make me want to check out the video. I doubt I would have felt so intrigued if it would have been the standard “shocked face reacting to game bad guy” type of thumbnail.
I really like that there weren't any jump scares but it was still very scary and unsettling. There were a few loud sounds or sudden cuts but never a real jump scare. My kind of horror.
My two friends got in a car crash this morning, one died and the other was in critical at the hospital. I've been here all day and the finally got him stable. I have a feeling he won't wake up again so just in case he can hear I thought I'd watch this with him like we'd usually do together. You are his favorite youtuber Jack we've been fans for years. I know you probably won't see this but in case you do just know you brought so many happy memories to me and my friends and hopefully you'll bring many more. Thank you for all those years of good memories and laughs. Edit: My other friend was pronounced brain dead and he's getting taken off life support tomorrow. Thanks for the kind words but he's sadly gone.
Leaving a comment to recommend another horror game! It's Called "We Never Left" eerie graphics, superb voice acting, and great looking atmosphere. I love watching you play these types of games cause I can never muster up the courage to play them but they're always so interesting!!!
A small little detail I'm sure some people missed: when Jack enters the room with the mannequins and the circle of candles, time goes backwards and when he leaves it time goes back to normal Edit: it appears to have been an edit thing so just ignore me and continue on with your day. Thank you.
I have a feeling that was an editing thing. There was a cut before Jack walked into the room so it's probably just him playing it on a different day or time. As when he goes back out of the room, the time doesn't jump forward to where he was last, it just carries on as normal.
@@StarWarsNerd1465 before he entered the room the time said 8;09 and when he left it it said 8;00 and I was like "hold up, wait a minute, something ain't right" so I went back and sure enough
I love RUclipsrs who indirectly interact with their editors via recording and edits. I think seeing Jack caring for his editor's workload and then the little editor giving him a kissy on the forehead was so sweet.
Jack should try Our Lady of Sorrow next! its another short, VHS-style found footage horror set in 1998 Ireland and the atmosphere is just as creepy as this one!
1:01 look most people will not of noticed this but the fact they went trough the effort of fading the face can so we can see the writing I really appreciate that you pay that much attention to your videos so thx editors
16:00 I was expecting the moon to actually be an eye. It looked like the black circle part in the center was like the pupil, and the red around it was the eye color. I was expecting it to blink and that it would be like a demonic moon entity that the cult was worshipping. Regardless, that was an interesting game, and the video was fun to watch!
4:08 to anyone like me who wasn't alive then, and doesn't know why Y2K was seen as a problem: It was because when the year was to roll from 1999 to 2000, computers would display dates as xx/xx/00. And due to the way dates were stored on some machines, the fear was computers would think the year went from 1999 to 1900, causing glitches and stuff.
To get an idea how bad of a disaster it could've been: lots of live databases actively running on servers rely on chronological dating as their sort method - for example, the stock market. If instead of the year switching from 1999 to 2000, it went 1999 to 1900, any computer-aided stock trade made in the new year (a significant majority of them, even back then) would be treated as the oldest trades in the database instead of the newest. So the entire digitized stock market would stop updating indefinitely and current trades would be lost to the archives, failing to shift prices despite new stocks being bought and sold. While the chances of ever going into 2000 blindly unaware of this problem and failing to fixt it were extremely low, if we had, it would've been a financial disaster worse than 2008 by orders of magnitude.
Hey Jack! One reason why many horror games have incredibly high sensitivity might be because of how they are programmed, they might have made their game work best on their setups (maybe they have a lower DPI mouse), so it feels normal for some, but too high or low for others.
Would love to see Sean play: Don’t Escape 4 days in a wasteland-would be a long series especially to get the whole story but it’s a good game and he would get to do voices; One Shot-not horror and old but such a good story and again, fun voices.
Loving this horror marathon, they're my favorite games just because not everyone gets escared by the same thing so it's interesting to see how they try to scare you. Also the reactions are hilarious. Keep it up!
i just realised around 19:20 you can hear "what's the matter with the moon tonight" by jw meyers playing; otherwise known as the song that plays in Janitor Jack's, aka a character that jack voice acted, room in murder house
woah, as a brazillian game dev, it's fun to see other fellow BR devs and their games in big yt channels!!🎮💕 ALSO, the architecture is just like the buildings here in the south of brazil in the 90s, it's so nostalgic to see.
Maybe you know--I was talking to my bf about the game being a good representation of '97-'98, except for the sheer amount of pcs. We were lucky to have one per classroom--it was more likely that we had them in the library for public use instead of computer labs. Was the number of pcs accurate, in your opinion, or no?
@@topazpagoda i agree with you, we barely had PCs in each classroom by 2010's. but also depends- expensive private schools would have more access to tecnology @ the time.
you have no fucking idea how happy I get when one of these episodes gets uploaded it means another relaxing night after work with snacks and drinks and screams baby!!
I am LOVING the horror content. I've noticed I have a hard time watching other Tuber's doing "Let's Play" content, because I appreciate your pacing when playing games versus others. You're thorough without being tedious, showing us all there is to see. You read conversations aloud when needed, providing character and giving life to the text on screen. Most games, you come prepared with stories of lore and pertinent info on the subject matter that we as the audience couldn't access ourselves. And your play style is very similar to my own, so it is most pleasing to sit back and vicariously experience a play-through of the many games I can only dream of affording. I'm certain MANY of us here feel the same as I do. Anyway, congrats on 28 subscribers! Some day, you'll hit 100. I believe in you!
You just summed up why I'm so addicted to Sean's vids. There is certain vibe I'm getting from his vids, and I wondered why. You just explained them well.
When you're eating dinner while watching and stop chewing everytime jack asks "what was that!?" just so you can hear it as well 🤣 I love the horror mood jack is on. These are my favorite!
I like the creepy kind of question asking thumbnails MUCH more than the basic scared face next to a jumpscare type of thumbnails. Been especially loving the Chilla's Art games youve been playing Jack, keep it up
the change in title and thumbnail actually grabbed my attention compared to the original, I don't think I fully understood the power of the two till this very moment
I'm not really a horror-game-y person but ever since you've been on this horror kick, these videos have cheered me up. I now really enjoy this type of stuff so thank you, and I'm excited for more((:
I love how Jack starts reading the opening paragraph as fast as possible, like super speed, then he sees the "Press e" and immediately his reading slows down to a more enunciated version.
Jack: sees scary people and a ritual with probably blood on it, most likely some kind of summons Also Jack: steps right in the summons where whatever was done will have an effect on you, where people are sacrificed/where the demon can possess you/what not
Sean also skimming when he reads due to ADHD is highkey like, relatable, but also, holy shit I didn't realize that was an ADHD thing- basically taking in as much core info as you can without reading it specifically, and then just context clues and piecing it together. Sometimes my brain gets funky when I have to read actual sentences, especially in large swaths of text, and I'll either lose track of which line I was one like multiple times over and lose it each time I start again, or I'll sorta, like, my eyes just unfocus against my will, just glaze over, and I forget all of the sentences I was just reading like some sort of Eldritch being reached into my head and plucked out the knowledge.
I love watching Jack playing horror games, before bed, when I'm alone at home, it's storm outside, someone is walking around my house which is in the middle of the forest, and my cat is looking at something 💜
your thumbnails have actually been my favorites for the longest time! i like how they focus on a character in the game w the title of the game in the back. i remember loving the resi 7 ones; resi 8, tlou2, undertale & subnautica ones are really good too - you do them a for a lot of series and i think they’re beautiful :)) however someone once said that the yt algorithm prefers it if a face were in the image too(?), like an :O reaction type. but for found footage/vhs games, you can definitely take advantage of the mystery factor with red circles and arrows. i forgot what was the second question but i guess this paragraph is enough
It's weird but nice seeing the brazilian potuguese subtitles choice at the menu :> Always nice to see brazilian devs being part of a game, it's like having a friend working in it huehue Also aaaalso the part where Jack's face started slowly changing was really good and well done, great stuff !
Sean: I always close doors behind me so if it's open it's not me. Also Sean: goes to the very next room, leaves door open and only closes it when he turns back.
The thumbnail definitely worked on me. I also would have watched it any way because I love that you've been playing these horror games that I haven't heard of...like they're really good horror games and they deserve more exposure like this.
Jack playing horror games in 2013 (eyes the horror game especially): The sensitivity is in the clouds again, gotta love em when games do that Jack now: the mouse sensitivity is ridicilous!

Exactly as you explained, thankfully a lot of programmers and system engineers were working very hard to update all the systems to avoid the chaos and catastrophe.
Particularly with the planes and hospitals.
Thankfully IT people make viewing this possible.
It was fake and implented to incite panick
@@VixeyTeh _Exactly!_ Honestly, so many people take their modern conveniences for granted -- there's too little respect for all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes, and too little thanks for it.
The part where Jack was staring at the Moon sigil on the TV and his face was distorting/going pale was an amazing touch! Love your videos and always look forward to them!! Take care!!!
I was looking for someone to acknowledge this
Scrolled just to find this comment, it was so unexpected and offputting but that just made it all the better!
Editors: The idea of making Sean a little transparent at the beginning so we could read the text was fantastic work!
Not enough credit goes out to the men and women that edit this stuff for our enjoyment. Thank you to you all and keep up the amazing work!
They do a lot better stuff than just "making sean transparent" they're the ones who go through hours of footage, putting little bits of funny hahas here, and cutting things out to make the video work. they're way better than people would think.
@@KalebTheDuck okay calm down there passive aggressive hero. The fact that op acknowledges the editors is already great. Yes, “they’re way better than people would think” but most people don’t know the in’s and out’s of editing (like you or I do), so acknowledgment of how good the editing is, is good enough. This isn’t what Jack’s channel is about. be more accepting of others, even if they don’t know as much as you or I do.
Edit: if your comment wasn’t supposed to sound pass-aggro, I’ll be the first to apologize.

This whole game, the latin-ish names, the cult vibes, the messages on the black boards... it all reminds me of Hoer Verde, a Brazilian town whose population (around 600) just vanished one day, without a single trace of where they were gone, except for one message, written on a black board in the town's school: "There is no salvation"
Perhaps there is inspiration there for the game, perhaps just coincidence, in any way, interesting game and fascinating video!
must be inspiration! this game was by a Brazilian grad student :D
Oo spooky very cool

@@moo9561 whether it's a myth or not doesn't make it less interesting.
Yeah the person who created this is from Brazil
10:22 Man... Jack is really thinking a lot more about his content creation these days. Also kind of nice that he treats his viewers like... they're mature. Also that definitely worked on me.
It also worked on me. He started talking about it and I was like “You know what? I _do_ think that’s a better idea for thumbnails” and realized the one he chose to stick with is what interested me
@@nemosomen he changed the name and the icon. moment of truth. hopefully his original icon has more draw to it.

@@sinisterwombat3128
I legitimately thouht this was a roundabout insult until I looked at the names, lol
I mean, a lot of us were in mid/late teens when we started watching him and sort of grew up “with” him, so it makes sense that he treats his audience as “mature” because a lot of us are. I honestly don’t know if we’re the majority though, most of the audience might still be kids
Fun fact: they have been trying to get multiple Wendy's in the Netherlands for years, but they can't because of a small snackbar with the same name.
that's so funny! we have the same issue where I live with top man
Okay. Jack’s “dah moooooon” statements gave me flashbacks to when I was a child, riding on the bus with my parents, screaming “DAH MOON.” I was like 3 and it was the first time I’d really seen a full moon. lol, thank you for the unprompted nostalgia. XD

There really was a hospital in Brazil that was shut down around '97 for "unspecified reasons" after millions had been spent on its construction. Coincidentally it also led to one of the worst radioactive exposure events in history.
Goyana?
worse than chernobyl?
@@ridiculouslyshort If they're talking about the Goiânia Incident, it wasn't as bad as chernobyl but it was still pretty bad. 4 deaths and over 200 contaminated. Caused by two scrappers taking a teletherapy unit from an abandoned hospital and opening its capsule of caesium chloride.
@@ridiculouslyshort “one of the worst” doesnt mean THE worst. chernobyl is next level. doesn’t take other bad radioactive exposure incidents out of the list of radioactive incidents though.
@@lesbnlime And even Chernobyl's long term death toll estimates tend to be "some thousands" over nearly a 100 years. If course it was a hugely big deal, but even then the real effects are usually way less severe than people think. Even taking into account all the nuclear plant mishaps we've had (thankfully not too many of them), mortality rates for coal energy are ~1 000 times higher per terawatt produced...

@@Crowswhat Or a bad trip. Having survived the '90s, I could believe it was _all_ a bad trip.
4:30 Y2K was an actual computer bug that would have had actually bad consequences that was only averted due to thousands of computer programmers working millions of hours, costing billions of dollars to fix it. Just because nothing happened at 1/1/2000 doesn't mean the threat wasn't real. I mean, there were some people who went WAY overboard with their predictions of doom and gloom, like building whole bomb shelters with a decade of canned food and supplies because they believed it was going to be the end of the world, but it was an actual issue that took a lot of manpower to fix and prevent.
In nutshell, remember How old old people always said things like “back in the summer of ‘69”? (I say old old because I’m considered old now) Yeah, well computers said that too. All of them did. They didn’t know the difference between 1969’ and 2069. Or 1900 and 2000… see where I’m going with this? Everything has to be updated. Not just your PS5 (or PS4 for the plebs) but the computer that your pleb ps3 has to talk to if it wants to know it you need to update.
What does y2k look like on a small scale? My date system got screwed up on an old dash cam and it constantly recorded over the latest recording so I only had date from 5 minutes ago and 2 months ago by the time I noticed
I bet jse knows that though
Yeah, it's kind of annoying to see when people think it wasn't a big deal, the only reason it's like that is because the IT industry collectively made sure that it wouldn't be, and succeeded.
Literally came to the comments just to see if anyone had pointed this out yet.
Man I got way too happy when the editors gave Jack a lil smooch animation, cute opening 😤💞
On a sidenote, can i just say i love Robin's editing
And also, i feel like Seàn is the horror king now with all the bangers we've been getting for awhile
The “fada” is to the right. á not à!
Not that it really matters to us who don’t use them (aka us pleb English speakers) but I’m pretty sure it changes the whole name when it’s facing a diff direction.
8bitryan is the king for me but i do enjoy seeing jack do these as well its really fun
The only two language options are: "English" and "Português-BR" and that brings a big smile to my lips, as it means the game was made by my own countrymen. Love to see the work they do being seen and recognized by others outside of our own country.

I remember streaming this game to my family on a discord call late at night, a couple days ago. It was one of the most tension inducing games I've played recently, no real jumpscares, just atmospheric and tension-building. Always love that in a horror game!
Discord call with your family and streaming a game? I love that! How nice ❤️
Can I just say Sean has an amazing editor. They add so many extra layers of quality to his vids. Absolutely phenomenal work 🥰
Seems like Jack's been orienting to play only horror games and I could not be happier about it.
Yeah I’m too scared to play them by myself so I just watch him do it! It’s so dumb I love horror but I get scared and forget to run or play the game🤣🤣

Love how casual Jack is now. There's the obvious of him becoming less hyperactive over the years, but lately it's just had this casual vibe we love.

Todays vid opened with him doing the up down thing to sync the audio.

The best thing about watching Sean do horror games is when there's a laughable conspiracy theory running parallel to the actual horror, and he just helps to keep himself - and us - calm by joking about the goofy stuff. As someone with a WEAK constitution/stomach, and ADHD myself, I appreciate this one thousand fold.

To answer your question, yes, the thumbnail did in fact intrigue me and make me want to check out the video. I doubt I would have felt so intrigued if it would have been the standard “shocked face reacting to game bad guy” type of thumbnail.
I really like that there weren't any jump scares but it was still very scary and unsettling. There were a few loud sounds or sudden cuts but never a real jump scare. My kind of horror.
My two friends got in a car crash this morning, one died and the other was in critical at the hospital. I've been here all day and the finally got him stable. I have a feeling he won't wake up again so just in case he can hear I thought I'd watch this with him like we'd usually do together. You are his favorite youtuber Jack we've been fans for years. I know you probably won't see this but in case you do just know you brought so many happy memories to me and my friends and hopefully you'll bring many more. Thank you for all those years of good memories and laughs.
Edit: My other friend was pronounced brain dead and he's getting taken off life support tomorrow. Thanks for the kind words but he's sadly gone.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish you and your friends the best of luck ❤
thats so sad
Sorry for your loss🥺
This is heartbreaking. Stay strong friend, the community is there for you if you need it.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I know your friend will wake up, and you will have plenty of years together. Stay strong.
Leaving a comment to recommend another horror game! It's Called "We Never Left" eerie graphics, superb voice acting, and great looking atmosphere. I love watching you play these types of games cause I can never muster up the courage to play them but they're always so interesting!!!
As a brazilian myself it feels great to see Jack playing a brazilian game, i feel really proud even though its not a game made by me (yet)
A small little detail I'm sure some people missed: when Jack enters the room with the mannequins and the circle of candles, time goes backwards and when he leaves it time goes back to normal
Edit: it appears to have been an edit thing so just ignore me and continue on with your day. Thank you.
How’d you notice that?
I have a feeling that was an editing thing. There was a cut before Jack walked into the room so it's probably just him playing it on a different day or time. As when he goes back out of the room, the time doesn't jump forward to where he was last, it just carries on as normal.
Time stamp?
@@StarWarsNerd1465 before he entered the room the time said 8;09 and when he left it it said 8;00 and I was like "hold up, wait a minute, something ain't right" so I went back and sure enough
i did notice that i gues im just a horror fan soo much that i pay attension
13:50 I love how when Sean seen the moon just like the poster asked if he has 😂
I love RUclipsrs who indirectly interact with their editors via recording and edits. I think seeing Jack caring for his editor's workload and then the little editor giving him a kissy on the forehead was so sweet.
Jack should try Our Lady of Sorrow next! its another short, VHS-style found footage horror set in 1998 Ireland and the atmosphere is just as creepy as this one!
immediately thought of my chemical romance lmao
@@satan69 SAME HOLY SHIT
Omg yes!
1:01 look most people will not of noticed this but the fact they went trough the effort of fading the face can so we can see the writing I really appreciate that you pay that much attention to your videos so thx editors
16:00 I was expecting the moon to actually be an eye. It looked like the black circle part in the center was like the pupil, and the red around it was the eye color. I was expecting it to blink and that it would be like a demonic moon entity that the cult was worshipping. Regardless, that was an interesting game, and the video was fun to watch!
4:08 to anyone like me who wasn't alive then, and doesn't know why Y2K was seen as a problem:
It was because when the year was to roll from 1999 to 2000, computers would display dates as xx/xx/00. And due to the way dates were stored on some machines, the fear was computers would think the year went from 1999 to 1900, causing glitches and stuff.
To get an idea how bad of a disaster it could've been: lots of live databases actively running on servers rely on chronological dating as their sort method - for example, the stock market. If instead of the year switching from 1999 to 2000, it went 1999 to 1900, any computer-aided stock trade made in the new year (a significant majority of them, even back then) would be treated as the oldest trades in the database instead of the newest. So the entire digitized stock market would stop updating indefinitely and current trades would be lost to the archives, failing to shift prices despite new stocks being bought and sold.
While the chances of ever going into 2000 blindly unaware of this problem and failing to fixt it were extremely low, if we had, it would've been a financial disaster worse than 2008 by orders of magnitude.
Hey Jack! One reason why many horror games have incredibly high sensitivity might be because of how they are programmed, they might have made their game work best on their setups (maybe they have a lower DPI mouse), so it feels normal for some, but too high or low for others.
Would love to see Sean play:
Don’t Escape 4 days in a wasteland-would be a long series especially to get the whole story but it’s a good game and he would get to do voices;
One Shot-not horror and old but such a good story and again, fun voices.
OMG that's like one of my favourite games
oh i love that game
Loving this horror marathon, they're my favorite games just because not everyone gets escared by the same thing so it's interesting to see how they try to scare you. Also the reactions are hilarious. Keep it up!
i just realised around 19:20 you can hear "what's the matter with the moon tonight" by jw meyers playing; otherwise known as the song that plays in Janitor Jack's, aka a character that jack voice acted, room in murder house
woah, as a brazillian game dev, it's fun to see other fellow BR devs and their games in big yt channels!!🎮💕
ALSO, the architecture is just like the buildings here in the south of brazil in the 90s, it's so nostalgic to see.
Maybe you know--I was talking to my bf about the game being a good representation of '97-'98, except for the sheer amount of pcs. We were lucky to have one per classroom--it was more likely that we had them in the library for public use instead of computer labs. Was the number of pcs accurate, in your opinion, or no?
@@topazpagoda i agree with you, we barely had PCs in each classroom by 2010's. but also depends- expensive private schools would have more access to tecnology @ the time.
you have no fucking idea how happy I get when one of these episodes gets uploaded it means another relaxing night after work with snacks and drinks and screams baby!!
I am LOVING the horror content. I've noticed I have a hard time watching other Tuber's doing "Let's Play" content, because I appreciate your pacing when playing games versus others. You're thorough without being tedious, showing us all there is to see. You read conversations aloud when needed, providing character and giving life to the text on screen. Most games, you come prepared with stories of lore and pertinent info on the subject matter that we as the audience couldn't access ourselves. And your play style is very similar to my own, so it is most pleasing to sit back and vicariously experience a play-through of the many games I can only dream of affording. I'm certain MANY of us here feel the same as I do. Anyway, congrats on 28 subscribers! Some day, you'll hit 100. I believe in you!
You just summed up why I'm so addicted to Sean's vids. There is certain vibe I'm getting from his vids, and I wondered why. You just explained them well.
Love how Jack's intros and cut-scenes are little horror masterpieces.

When you're eating dinner while watching and stop chewing everytime jack asks "what was that!?" just so you can hear it as well 🤣 I love the horror mood jack is on. These are my favorite!

Something about Sean finding some game developers and starting his own production crew sounds like a fire horror game company
15:40
In my opinion, what was more impressive about the eclipse was when it started covering and when it started uncovering
I love how Jack starts reading the opening paragraph as fast as possible, like super speed, then he sees the "Press e" and immediately his reading slows down to a more enunciated version.
Jack: sees scary people and a ritual with probably blood on it, most likely some kind of summons
Also Jack: steps right in the summons where whatever was done will have an effect on you, where people are sacrificed/where the demon can possess you/what not
Sean also skimming when he reads due to ADHD is highkey like, relatable, but also, holy shit I didn't realize that was an ADHD thing-
basically taking in as much core info as you can without reading it specifically, and then just context clues and piecing it together. Sometimes my brain gets funky when I have to read actual sentences, especially in large swaths of text, and I'll either lose track of which line I was one like multiple times over and lose it each time I start again, or I'll sorta, like, my eyes just unfocus against my will, just glaze over, and I forget all of the sentences I was just reading like some sort of Eldritch being reached into my head and plucked out the knowledge.
jack:
“helloo..?”
*reads poster*
“DA MOOOON!?!”
“HAVE YOU SEEN DA MOOOON!?!”
The only thing that kept me from screaming is Sean going "The MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON????"
_"Can you imagine the moon actually getting closer?"_
It's ok, just turn back time to 3 days ago.

Sean: SHADOW CLONE JUTSU.
The Building 7 incident is even more compelling.
Second comment
Bro, what? Did they make 71 games about each incident?
your thumbnails have actually been my favorites for the longest time! i like how they focus on a character in the game w the title of the game in the back. i remember loving the resi 7 ones; resi 8, tlou2, undertale & subnautica ones are really good too - you do them a for a lot of series and i think they’re beautiful :)) however someone once said that the yt algorithm prefers it if a face were in the image too(?), like an :O reaction type. but for found footage/vhs games, you can definitely take advantage of the mystery factor with red circles and arrows.
i forgot what was the second question but i guess this paragraph is enough
It's weird but nice seeing the brazilian potuguese subtitles choice at the menu :>
Always nice to see brazilian devs being part of a game, it's like having a friend working in it huehue
Also aaaalso the part where Jack's face started slowly changing was really good and well done, great stuff !
Ok but can we talk about how smart it was to make Jack transparent at the beginning so we could read the words? I had never thought of that!❤️👏🏻
10:00 the paper says the people went missing on Tuesday, July 12. But at the top it says it was published Wednesday, July 12

Sean: I always close doors behind me so if it's open it's not me.
Also Sean: goes to the very next room, leaves door open and only closes it when he turns back.
I love how this video started off being a horror now just feels like a meme with the title (of which I can hear in Sean’s voice) and the thumbnail
The thumbnail definitely worked on me. I also would have watched it any way because I love that you've been playing these horror games that I haven't heard of...like they're really good horror games and they deserve more exposure like this.
