Reasons for respect: Heard all the negative things about this game and still decided that it was worth seeing for himself and playing for others to see.
i was confused that he still played it when everybody didnt like the game and everybody says its hillariously stupid but then i saw your comment, i understand now that its a matter of respect xd.
These game actually good for content I'm enjoying watching the gameplay I watch every single utuber playing these game except jacksepticeye cuz he's too cringe
Apone is the name of the sgt from ALIENS played by real life US Marine vet Al Matthews who was also the military consultant for the film. The late Matthews is highly regarded in the ALIEN fandom, especially among the vet fans of the film. I think the devs may have presumed too much to tack the iconic name to a black character who died from being "probed". The game seems more mean spirited than an homage to the scifi genre. The negative reviews may be well warranted. "Misguided" may be too kind of an excuse if trying to be fair to the project.
This game is actually fun and I like this comment about ignoring other reviews and doing it by himself. Respect where its due. CJU risked and I think it paid off. The game is not bad. I had more fun than with other AAA titles.
At the end of the game I felt as if I had been left out in the rain during a date that had the potential to be good. And by the end, everyone was pointing at me and laughing. That was the feeling. Always a pleasure to see you playing, CJU. Even those nuclear bombs.
I must say, even with all the problems, the silly/annoying design choices, and the (infuriating) ending... this was still a good effort for a small unknown indie dev. The better aspects of this game are indicative of a team that has great potential. I hope they don't get discouraged by all the criticism and instead use the money and the lessons learned to make a part 2 that is way better than part 1.
The ending is perfect this game is ok if u crouching the alien can't hear if u walk the alien nearby can hear u so the best way is to crouching the whole time if they chase u use the stamina wisely when they out of your side switch to crouching and hide behind the tree or any object use gun in a desperate situation that's how u play these game
The "conclusion" here really came across like the dev ran out of time/money/desire to continue. I'd argue that the game's story elements allude to this the most. Within the context of the rest of the game (which while flawed in places was executed alright), the ending just didn't "fit" with the way the rest of the story was told. The foreshadowing of the rescue mission to save the protagonist's son, the themes in play (shallow as they may have been), and the development of the characters all gave the impression that the game that was released was the first portion of a larger story. It really makes me wonder if funding dried up midway through the project and with all the lines of dialog already recorded it was too late to rework the story into something that would have been more satisfying. NOTE TO THE DEVELOPER(S): (in the unlikely event that they read this) I'm not sure if this ending is what you were intending, but given the rest of the game I have to believe it is not the title you wanted to ship. My advice would be to be straightforward about whatever forced such an abrupt end to the game. Some may disagree, but I feel that it would have been much better to release this in an incomplete state rather than try to tack on the conclusion as it is. The way things are it alienates your audience and damages your reputation, which is a hard thing to maintain in the industry in the best of circumstances. This project had real promise and I really hope you have the opportunity to take a second shot at making a game, and this time that you have the time you need to see it to completion. Best of luck!
I finished this game yesterday and the worst thing was trying to figure out where the fook to go and the speed at which the player runs. It's like moving a character with emphysema.
@@melliethemortician I looked it up and it sounds like the nastier cousin of asthma So .. yea no I understand how itd make you feel like youre trying to run through quicksand! Its rough
@@elvingearmasterirma7241 Back in Health class they said having Emphysema would be like jogging in place for a minute then trying to breathe thru a coffee straw while pinching your nose.
I really thought this would be a hot game of the year. Idea is cool at least, and the Dev has been trying their hardest to patch since release so props to them.
Rare to see Chris get so genuinely frustrated at a game, and I quite understand why. This game does have good ingredients in it, yet it seems they weren't mixed quite right. That ending too jeez, like at least we should've seen the inside of the saucer and Ryan attempting to confront the aliens. Even if he completely failed at least we the audience would know, and the Bob cutscene would still make sense. Perhaps Bob could've gotten a strange signal over the radio while he was driving, to give us hope Ryan is still alive. That would have been a much better sequel hook in my opinion. I do hope the creators don't give up, clearly they have potential. I think if they just tweak their thought process a bit they'd have a solid indie game on their hands the next time. Thanks to CJU for giving this a chance. I did have some fun with it, in spite of everything.
I was on my phone with this playing in the background, not really paying attention until I looked up at 17:51 after hearing 'It does look so fetching'. When I say I nearly 💀 laughing 🤣🤣 was not expecting to see a pointy tinfoil hat ahahaha
What a _weird_ mix of the good, the bad, and the ugly this game is. So many inconsistencies and very odd choices despite loads of potential. I, however, did get a few good laughs thanks to Chris, the bizarre dialogue, and aliens who seemed to kneel every time they "captured" Ryan. What was _that_ all about? 👽👀😆
@@JordanJMyers That is so stupid I will never understand why M. Night Shyamalan chose such a stupid twist if The Aliens are afraid of water then why invade Earth which is mostly made of water? Earth is made out of 71% of water at least that is what Google says.
@@More_Row Sadly yes but some of us have no choice, our lease was up and we werent able to renew it(the building owner changed) so it was either try and find another apt in LA that isnt an arm and leg(which might as well be like finding aliens) orrrr buy a house in a diff city with a much cheaper mortgage than we wouldve gotten here.
My wife and me enjoyed this playthrough and the game very, very much - it looks very polished and was such a funny experience. Especially the au marchés to "Aliens" (Apone) and South Park (anal probe). we cannot understand, why people do not like it - we love it! Thank you so much for playing this one! Best regards from Germany, Kathrin & Jens
It's unfortunate we didn't get a conclusive ending for Ryan and Henry but I suppose you don't get all the details in these strange alien events. I kind of appreciated the ambiguity. Maybe we'll get a sequel with more information? Not having a map was kind of annoying but I think it added to the tension and feelings of distress. I'd be happy to watch you play a sequel.
This has got to be a Night Vale reference: “Something is wrong with Joe Parson. The farmer, you know?” In Welcome to Night Vale they are always talking about “John Peters- you know, the farmer?”
Honestly, even with some of the jankiness, you can tell the game definitely has some potential in it. Like, how many indie games bother to have voice acting? Or, hell, even just actual models for OTHER PEOPLE that you talk to and interact with? There's a lot of effort in there, and most of the game isn't that terrible. It's just a shame that, as you said, the ending is so jarring, abrupt, and unsatisfying. Even there was even just a feel of lead up to, y'know.... "See how this plays out IN THE SEQUEL" sort of hook, that'd make it feel at least a little better.
Your badass channel has filled me in on a few great horror games I would have missed playing otherwise. There's so much it's hard to be aware of it all. You've also saved me from suffering some absolute bombs too. Thanks for taking the c-4 for me on this one!
I know this game got a bad rep, and I'm only 9 minutes in so far and haven't seen the full game but so far I really like it! Great atmosphere and graphics, the voice acting is pretty good, with a few wonky lines. The dog running off into the field after the weird light getting 0 reaction from the main character is a little odd. I'm guessing he doesn't think it's any sort of alien but with everyone boarding up their window, some threat is clearly known and for him to just be like meh, dogs gone, is odd.
What is truly infuriating about this game, for me, is that you as the protagonist get to do A LOT of busywork, saving people, fetching stuff, killing aliens, and in the end you're not rewarded whatsoever for any of that. It really feels like they had enough ideas to start crafting a story, but then didn't know how to finish it. The 'end' doesn't even really feel like a cliffhanger, more like a… loose end. (What about Amy and Matt and the whole biplane idea, by the way?) But as always, Chris, your gameplay and humour makes watching stuff like this worthwhile all the same. Cheers! //Rick
@@AlexOlinkiewicz I'll still see it for myself. If it can at least evoke the sense of dread that the concept of alien abductions were able to evoke back then...then it's good enough for me 😁.
I was excited to see this game, there are so many paranormal horror games out there it was going to be a nice change of pace to see a kind of old-style alien horror. I think a lot of people went in with high expectations, maybe too high? A few of the problems for me are the non-main characters seeming lackadaisical about the craziness that is happening, when you find them they're just sitting and chilling while the main character is running around in terror trying to save everyone. When adding subtitles to video there are markers/placeholders you put it that trigger when you get to a certain time in the video, it may be the same for audio and the markers are not placed far enough apart so basically they trigger on top of each other. Three mechanics that need fine tuning: baseball bat range, no map (or a note at the beginning that says flashing lights are key items), run speed. The ending I can see being disappointing for those that want closure or some answers as to what happens to the main character. It makes me think about some older movies and b-movies that end on a cliff hanger, like the 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I'm not sure if that's what they're going for or if they are just setting things up for a sequel.
I wouldn't even consider the ending of Invasion of the Body Snatchers to be a cliffhanger. Based on what the movie shows, you know Earth is effed, and you can get a nice dose of paranoia wondering how many of the people you know already got replaced by pods. ;) edit: ope my bad, I was thinking of the 50s version ending. I will say the final scene in the 70s one gave me nightmares for years, even if it's less than conclusive.
1:10 "He said it looked like an alien!" ...uh...if you've never 'seen' an alien, what actually 'does' an alien look like? This game was bad, but like in the good way. Prime comedy janky gold bad. Highly entertaining, so weird and surreal. The dialogue and delivery was hysterical, had me laughing the whole way through. I feel like the entire thing was conceptualised, designed and written by an AI. Simultaneously bereft of content, plot, and gameplay, and about an hour and a half too long. 10/10.
Maybe there'll be a sequel... aboard the saucer, and the rescue. There have been other games with similar endings, like Serious Sam. He's in ancient Egypt. He gets slowly teleported up to the saucer, then you hear him say, "Time for bed kids!" But the ending was just the beginning of the 2nd encounter as the saucer crashes into a different location. So maybe this game will continue on with the story.
Thats so weird! I kept seeing this uploaded but knew you didnt upload it so i waited for a while and just today I gave up and was about to watch it on SuperHorrorbro's channel (which i like but you're still my #1) and then Bam! You upload. Stoked to watch you play this one Chris, right on time as usual.
Funny that you mentioned that Bob reminds you of the character of Woody Harrelson in the movie 2012. He is voiced by Jordan Harrelson, his brother, so I don't think that is a coincidence :)
Ha ha, no way! Didn't know this until you said. You think with how rugged this game's launch was, they would have put that as a bullet point to drive some extra sales.
Lots of indie games seem to have trouble sticking the landing. It’s either an abrupt ending like this, or one where the player gets suddenly killed off, or else the game enters a dream like sequence where random things happen.
Watching you play nearly anything is always enjoyable. For me, this game was a reminder of how much I want to see The Rockestop Incident (,you did a playthrough of the demo for it)
oh nooooo! Never form your tinfoil hat into a funnel shape! It will attract more signals like an antenna! Always form it into a bowl shape,,as it will reflect all the evil signals!
@Ivan Volf oh man, something about his narration and tone of voice is so relaxing and smooth! Combined with how funny his commentary is, I love putting on his videos right before bed!
Btw, I did like the passage from Ezekiel being quoted in the church,.. nice touch. Also...Chris..'No bullets, no Bibles,is this really America?' Oh the shade...the shade...:)
Love your channel pal as a blind gamer I enjoy watching. Lets me enjoy as sometimes I can not read the story on screen as it's too small. Even though I play on a 200" 4k projector and a 80" lg oled. Just like to say thanks mate.
Goddamn was this game fixated on anal probing. Which is almost appropriate, because that not-ending makes me feel like I took one up the pipe. I wonder if they were all set to create our knight in shining tin foil's heroic rescue attempt and then suddenly ran out of budget. If they had prioritized better we could have gotten a decent ending in exchange for cutting some of those busywork objectives in the middle.
honestly, the hilariously underwhelming ending and the jank just added to the charm for me. i really loved this one, it was just goofy enough to be entertaining while still keeping things tense, and the self-awareness (or lack of, in some instances) had me laughing all throughout
Yeah - what can I say? I am a sucker for alien abductions, but the ending took all that away. It was like, “Nyeh nyeh, we fooled you - aren’t you stupid!” I’m pissed off and I feel as if I’ve been disrespected.
I was so looking forward to seeing the inside of the ufo. I thought we might be rewarded with some light at the end after having to wonder around in the dark forever
It was quite an experience. Without a doubt, your commentary kept me invested in the game, but overall, it did not highly disappoint me. Of course, I did not spend 12 buck on that bloody thing lol, but yeah. The kidnapping of henry from the house and the first alien encounter was legit good. Rachel was savage thou 😅 As for the ending - it was not super surprising, average and all. Cheers Chris!
😂" Nothing to save this POS Ending." Hopefully A part 2 is in the making. Has potential , It matters where the Devs take it I guess . Great playthrough as always tho.
overlapping dialog 36:35 it isn't rocket science ryan. he is a government employee... 1:01:55 ? CJ come on man, don't start acting crazy! we already seen them take our son henry from our house. we know they do follow normal physics! the ending wasn't expected at all! a 4th wall break and didn't conclude Ryans story. are we to assume ryan failed?
I'm still watching the video and haven't reached the end yet but I actually really like this game! It def has a charm to it, idk, its clearly not just a quick cashgrab, so imo it doesn't deserve the "terrible horrorgame" tag at all some people asked for. Sure its not perfect. I really do appreciate the solid voice acting, the characters actually being animated, maybe even modeled by the dev/team and not just store bought and I just generally dig the simple but entertaining story idea. Right on time too with the news the FBI leaked about UFO sightings.

Watching you play nearly anything is always enjoyable. For me, this game was a reminder of how much I want to see The Rockestop Incident (,you did a playthrough of the demo for it)
oh nooooo! Never form your tinfoil hat into a funnel shape! It will attract more signals like an antenna! Always form it into a bowl shape,,as it will reflect all the evil signals!
Points for showing a cat and a dog in foil hats.
I laughed so hard when you said "Am I getting anal probed? What's going on?" I did enjoy watching you play this. I didn't enjoy the ending though.😁👍
Oh good, Chris is back. Now we can relax.
Clearing my schedule for this one
Everybody shut up there's a new long CJU video out
No
@@TVP50-51 you shut up especially
Totally agree with your perspective
Watching CJU and some horror title before sleeping... seems like a good idea. No nightmares at all... 😆
😂😂
They actually give ou nightmares?
@@cinderellacomplex7 it's a joke lol
@Ivan Volf oh man, something about his narration and tone of voice is so relaxing and smooth! Combined with how funny his commentary is, I love putting on his videos right before bed!
Thanks for sharing, you're the best! I agree with you about the end of the game, it was truly dissatisfying. Hope you have a great weekend! ❤️
This game's dialogue sounds like it was written by an "AI" chatbot lol
After the patch 1.0.6 this game is solid ... and fun
How is this not a terrible indie horror game? Still, thanks as always for the entertainment, Chris!
Cause Chris is ridiculously forgiving to terrible and/or boring as crud games.
This game is not that terrible
@@gerardwolf8507 ohhhh yes it is. Lol.
The concept is so cool. If this could be done right it would be so good.
I thought there was still a lot of good, but the ending leaves a bit of a bad taste.
Btw, I did like the passage from Ezekiel being quoted in the church,.. nice touch. Also...Chris..'No bullets, no Bibles,is this really America?' Oh the shade...the shade...:)
Swing away Chris
Such an entertaining watch but christ that ending! What were the developers thinking!
I'm just amazed those very solid boards broke to your bat like soggy matchsticks
That first alien encounter made me scream 😂
I actually enjoyed the voice acting in this one! ☺️
After seeing them walk straight into a bullet, maybe there not so smart after all.
"Nothing to save this piece of shit ending!" - CJU 2023 🤣😂 Yep, that about sums it up.
Perfect timing for that video 😂
Love your channel pal as a blind gamer I enjoy watching. Lets me enjoy as sometimes I can not read the story on screen as it's too small. Even though I play on a 200" 4k projector and a 80" lg oled. Just like to say thanks mate.
Just to be clear, I'm 45 minutes in at the time of writing this and what the absolute fuck, lol. I am loving this. Why are the hats so long???
That ending is such a letdown. Thanks for another great video despite that!
Let’s still go!!
Great looking game, absolutely hated the ending so I agree with you.
I love watching a gameplay of these game it's like watching a movie 😆
Goddamn was this game fixated on anal probing. Which is almost appropriate, because that not-ending makes me feel like I took one up the pipe.
I wonder if they were all set to create our knight in shining tin foil's heroic rescue attempt and then suddenly ran out of budget. If they had prioritized better we could have gotten a decent ending in exchange for cutting some of those busywork objectives in the middle.
the game was decent and funny, but that ending, they must be in a rush for finishing it soon, it seems :(
LMAO THIS GAME I SWEAR CHRIS I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE YOU TOOK THE TIME TO PLAY IT!
honestly, the hilariously underwhelming ending and the jank just added to the charm for me. i really loved this one, it was just goofy enough to be entertaining while still keeping things tense, and the self-awareness (or lack of, in some instances) had me laughing all throughout
So I guess the baseball is a Signs reference.
A+ to thisgame solely for the Big Lebowski reference
This is FIRST time I heard "I disliked the game" from you!
Just...whoa!
oof
Even bad bad terrible games had him being a little optimistic or just utterly baffled
This game has to be truly specially bad
@@elvingearmasterirma7241 Absolutely agree with you!
Yeah - what can I say? I am a sucker for alien abductions, but the ending took all that away. It was like, “Nyeh nyeh, we fooled you - aren’t you stupid!” I’m pissed off and I feel as if I’ve been disrespected.
weird game could have been a horror, but no!, just wacky.
Game's not too bad, actually has funny moments.
Those 10-15 seconds were pretty realistic, imo. 40:29. Tense! 😮
The end SUCKS! 😊
That ending though. What a kick in the a** 😅
This somehow made Shyamalan's Signs look good
I was so looking forward to seeing the inside of the ufo. I thought we might be rewarded with some light at the end after having to wonder around in the dark forever
i remember the demo being pretty decent, shame it didnt get any better
I was hoping you’d play this!!
It was quite an experience. Without a doubt, your commentary kept me invested in the game, but overall, it did not highly disappoint me. Of course, I did not spend 12 buck on that bloody thing lol, but yeah. The kidnapping of henry from the house and the first alien encounter was legit good. Rachel was savage thou 😅
As for the ending - it was not super surprising, average and all. Cheers Chris!
😂" Nothing to save this POS Ending." Hopefully A part 2 is in the making. Has potential , It matters where the Devs take it I guess . Great playthrough as always tho.
It’s an interesting one
This just has to be seen. I would play it too. It looks to much up my alley.
"No bullets, no bible, is this really America?"🤣
The scariest part of this game is the dialogue and voice actors lol
I thought the ending was kind of funny. Guess that mystery man had bad advice. I enjoyed this.
overlapping dialog
36:35 it isn't rocket science ryan. he is a government employee...
1:01:55 ? CJ come on man, don't start acting crazy! we already seen them take our son henry from our house. we know they do follow normal physics!
the ending wasn't expected at all! a 4th wall break and didn't conclude Ryans story. are we to assume ryan failed?
I'm still watching the video and haven't reached the end yet but I actually really like this game! It def has a charm to it, idk, its clearly not just a quick cashgrab, so imo it doesn't deserve the "terrible horrorgame" tag at all some people asked for. Sure its not perfect. I really do appreciate the solid voice acting, the characters actually being animated, maybe even modeled by the dev/team and not just store bought and I just generally dig the simple but entertaining story idea. Right on time too with the news the FBI leaked about UFO sightings.
Hmm Chris, having this problem with my current game, not knowing where I am going. We'll both figure it out.
I beat this game on PS5, got all the trophies in one playthrough, disappointed with it, then came here to the next day to watch you play. 🤣
Most British abduction ever. "Right. Hello! Um...you wouldn't mind abducting me, would you? Lovely. Thanks much!"
there's not enough tinfoil and probing jokes in the game to save that ending
Ah I was looking forward to this game, it looked very scary in the trailer. But now...oh well, with Chris I watch anyway 😂
