The fact that Charlie played so bad that he discovered the hospital secret before the house going weird is HILARIOUS, sadly it takes a lot of the punch out of the big reveal of the house going weird though but oh well.
One problem is the default controls suck, he’s playing on modern shooting with no crosshair. Classic doom had no vertical camera movement and would just auto aim at any target down the middle of the screen(centre top to bottom). But he’s playing on a modern control scheme with no reticle so he just has to predict where he is aiming.
@@pineapple6350 Another more glaring problem than the control which the whole video is themed around is, to put it mildly, haste. Haste makes waste, and it shows.
@@kos-3327 **Cough** You're pulling the fans aggro. Anyway, for the sake the Devil I'll say that while Jesus is too impatient and too "blind-ran" with this ""puzzle"" game, there's still a bit of flaws on the game itself that I think some game devs can take notes on. But I will not go on the details of my own very opinionated analysis here.
Charlie playing a Doom mod on stream is a huge testament to how far this mod transcended into the mainstream. Good for it. The effort put into the map makes me content about that.
I completely agree with Charlie honestly. Going in completely blind isnt what necessarily makes this experience special especially if you have little experience with Doom and it could make for a frustrating or boring experience. Having the context behind the map is what makes it so intriguing. Maybe going in blind as a first experience would be awesome, but for the full experience you gotta know what you're doing at least a little bit
yeah id rather someone tell me "this mod has some interesting features behind it, see if you can notice whats wrong" than just spoil half the experience
@@haroldflower8008 for sure, there’s tiny things people probably wouldn’t notice so I think that’s fine to get spoiled but I mean everything else is just up to the player to naturally discover and it isn’t even hard to find common stuff around the house that’s weird
I think had he been intrigued enough to read the initial forums, the google doc diary, was able to piece together that you have to fight for your happiness. I think having that context & piecing together the narrative enriches the journey through this liminal nightmare world and makes the ending far more satisfying.
@@MrElmo54321 well yeah it’s way too much to decifer to actually tell that THATS what it’s portraying but I think once you have context it totally makes it more satisfying
feel like a lot of this map's weirdness can only be appreciated if you know more about doom mapping and how some the of map aspects were thought to be seemingly impossible in the engine
@@majora919 no meaninful rewards(hard to get) past the gold shotgun, the multiplayer has a single mode, the roguelike mode has static arenas instead of using the host of arenas available in the game like any other roguelike, no snapmap like 2016 has so you have to externally mod content in. bethesda could have done a lot more
It’s kind of crazy how everyone is hooked onto this Doom map, a Doom map! The map itself is apparently bigger in file size then Doom 1 and 2 combined. Also like how every area in the game is literally the house.
Chat attempting to spoil the game for him too, which is also chat per usual. I really don’t know if it was a good thing he didn’t add chat to the screen or not. I stopped watching Charlie’s gaming VODs awhile ago, came back to see this one and I’m remembering why now. 😂

TBH it's on the streamer if they get spoiled reading chat. It's literally impossible to avoid having spoilers in chat unless you're a small streamer with moderators to ban spoilers. If the streamer wants to avoid spoilers, they have to avoid looking at chat. That's just how it is.
I think a lot of people are mischaracterizing this wad as horror. It's certainly disturbing and there are parts that are clearly intended to scare the player but it's more of a surreal metadrama than anything.
It's unsettling and disturbing in many ways that fits the idea of psychological horror. Most people in horror now think it has to be overtly scary or very in your face.
People took "going in blind" way too seriously. Watching a walkthrough would've spoiled things, but the journal entries are fine to read and give a lot of context and lore to a lot of the stuff that was going on. If chat told Charlie to do nothing other than play the game, then they steered him wrong. Him going through the "for sale" fence door would have meant nothing to him because the QR code on the tombstone would've lead him to something that would make zero sense because he was robbed of the overall backstory and lore. He wouldn't have known the names attached or why they mattered. I *am* impressed he found some of the more convoluted puzzle pieces without help.

It's honestly so impressive that something like this can be done in a game engine that is OVER 30 YEARS OLD. DOOM Mappers and mod creators are on another level when it comes to coming up with creative things to do. Could you imagine the guy who created MyHouse create something in Unreal or a newer engine? That shit would be next fucking level
There’s 2 myhouse editions the one that charlie is playing on is the modern one while the .wad one is the one that can be played on the old engine i suppose the latter was all made by the dead best friend as it’s incomplete
This actually uses some pretty common tricks. A lot of it is just silent teleportation and creative scripting. But it’s still done remarkably well and it must’ve taken ages to pull off
@@staringcorgi6475 No, even the .wad one cannot be played on the old engine. There are some aspects of it that could not be done in the OG engine. For example, in OG DooM the basement could not be below the living room. Silent teleportation also did not exist.
Not really an old engine, it is using GZDOOM which is the most advanced source port, and to be perfectly honest with you as someone in the DOOM modding community more technically impressive things have been done many times before the mod ever came out. What makes this mod so good is it's unique usage of newer techniques and presentation of its ideas. If you want to know what the REALLY technically impressive stuff is, first of all look at Total Chaos which is the cream of the crop; then look at Hunter's Moon, Blade of Agony, Hieous Destructor and my personal favorite, Ashes 2063.
Just to point out to those saying "Jacksepticeye did it better", Sean's video wasn't recorded live like Charlie's was. Sean recorded his playthrough, the editors got it, and we saw the edited version. Not that it wasn't a great video, I happen to follow both of these guys and they are both great in their own ways, but...we don't see all of Sean's playthrough. Only what the editors leave in. We got Charlie's completely raw. Just not sure it's a fair comparison.
iirc there was a point in jacksepticeye's video where he said that he's been recording for three hours despite the video being an hour long, which would mean that over two hours of content were cut
Jacksepticeye clearly didn't go in blind either, noticed almost every detail and in the same order as the PowerPak video essay, plus found the pool instantly. The disingenuousness of it makes it a pretty bad watch once you realise
To clear up some misconceptions: - No, this engine isnt 30 years old. This is gzdoom, a fork in a long line of DOOM forks that has existed for years and comes with modern game design features. Almost nothing about this would be possible in the original 1993 DOOM engine. - "Two Stories" has been possible for a decade at least, whether it be using silent teleports, or line portals. This map uses the latter. So yes, you can do basements in DOOM, at least since silent teleports have been a thing.
14:30 no, doom maps could have basements before this. The map is using a relatively well known technique, if difficult to use properly and only really implemented in the last 15 years or so, called silent teleporters to simulate room over room. It's exactly what it sounds like, you cross a line on the floor and you get teleported, silently and without the usual visual effect, to an identical version of the house, but with a basement instead of an upper floor
Yeah people seem to be pushing the wrong idea about why this map is impressive from a technical/mapping standpoint. The capabilities have been fairly doable for a while now with Doom modding. It's how insanely well crafted, thought out, implimented and the detail in doing so thats impressive. The amount of effort and thought put into how to use the different capabilities is the crazy part.
I just want to point out that this game did use the teleporter technique at the start, but once the house restarts, it switches to using seamless portals instead, which preserve the illusion much, much better.
@@BrickFighter13 I think I first heard about this wad from IcarusLives, and then I watched jackcepticeye play it after doing a few runs myself. I can't wait for decino's playthrough, and I hope Markiplier plays it too.
13:45 this is actually the first time I noticed the teleport used to allow you to go to the basement floor. the door is glitchy like that because there are two doors
Its only done like this on the first version of the house to lull you into a false sense of simplicity. The second house and onward uses line portals seamlessly.
@@SuperHornetA51 what piss me off more is the fact he keep using the pistol for no reason even when he have enough bullets,chaingun,a lot of shells for the shotgun and the super shotgun 😂
Yeah, can't believe he has his own personal airport! Plus a hospital just in case if you pass out, too. And did I forget to mention the giant concrete factory maze inside that one deep dark closet? Yeah, they didn't have any room for storing concrete so they made storage and used some of the concrete for the walls, floors, and ceilings.
I love how this map blows all assumptions out of the water. You never know what's next. So many hidden mechanics that affect the progression. A masterpiece in map design.
@@Matt-lx5my a lot of the mod takes ideas out of House of Leaves and has some nods to it. The book itself is known for being a very difficult read due to the almost schizophrenic--looking writings of the author.
@@potatotower7288 I'm familiar with house of leaves lol I just don't really see it, I get that there's more rooms in the house than their should be but that's the only similarity I see
The surrealist's nature of the many changing environments combined w/the horror elements of this remind me a bit, at the very least in its tone, of the film _Skinamarink..._
Funner fact: You're wrong. It's a sound effect played by the map when you reach 10 minutes. It doesn't appear again when the music loops and it also appears when you're on a different music track.
@@bjorntantau194 Funnest fact: Pedantism. The important part of the fact is that the game is playing it, and it's not part of Charlie's regular PC noises 😂
MyHouse.WAD is amazing, the descent of a doom house map slowly twisting and turning into a sprawling nightmare with underlying tones like good dog, bad dog, the confession and the incoherent liminal spaces just can't be described with words.
I like the truly blind play throughs. Though I do recommend reading the journal and some of the supplementary material as that was the author's intent nd it does have some clues in case you get stuck.
@@prawngravy18 if it is in the files with the mod then it is fair game. if you read other peoples hints and tricks on forums or watch another play through then it isn't blind.
Charlie in this video is apathy personified from what Iv seen so far (which honestly is just Charlie's natural state, just him being him), but to me thats what makes this a poor video to experience MyHouse.wad with, its not fun even for people who do know what happens because charlie just isnt all that interested in it. His attitude is just constantly "meh i guess whatever", i have much better time watching him create his own wrestling league PowerPak has the best edited video about this mod Spazmatic Banana has the best blind playthrough iv seen because hes more familiar with Doom ll, its a funny and entertaining watch, theres points where he actually gets jumpscared pretty hard and it all ends in legendary fashion
I know nothing about this game until I saw this video, I just gotta say this game is unbelievably unsettling. The endless monotonous level design, the distorted sound effects of everything, the uncomfortable screaming sounds, the surreal background music, it all just comes together real well to make just an intensely unsettling environment to traverse and learn about. Edit: 2:36:45 It was mentioned that the creator of this game was inspired by the novel, "House of Leaves", which actually makes a lot of sense. "House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski, is one of my all time favorite horror novels, and it is just an amazing "Horror Experience" about a really weird House. I say experience, because it legitimately is more than just reading a book, it's absolutely a horror experience like no other. I did feel like while watching this game, it definitely had some qualities that were similar to things that happen in House of Leaves. In case it's not obvious from my comment... Go read "House of Leaves".
@@NightStats I was aware that the original game was Doom, since I did used to play it when I was a kid, I apologize that I didn't clarify by saying, "I know nothing about this game mod." Still I genuinely appreciate the response. 👍
Why is he trying to speedrun? He runs past things he's activated without even noticing like the sink and goes between hitting interact on everything in the same room repeatedly but then just completely ignores others so frustrating calm down dude and look with your eyes whats happening
OMG. Finally. I stopped watching his gaming VODs awhile ago because of that. Literally every f’ing game. He has no interest in gaming anymore, he just goes through the motions for viewers/content.
23:43 Charlie unknowingly stutter stepping over the line teleport area causing a massive lag spike was hilarious (for those who dont know, the doom engine cant create rooms on top of one another, to create the illusion of a bottom floor, an invisible portal is created at around the area charlie is hovering here, to an entirely different area somewhere else, you can walk, see, and shoot through it, though evidently not entirely fluidly)
I don't see what you mean, I know there's a portal there but it's indistinguishable from the rest of the area. I don't even notice the lag spike you mention
Finally! Been trying to get him to watch the video all week. Hope he does a main channel vid. The entire story of this map is literally genius level intellect and years of work.
Charlie seems like he genuinely dislikes the game throughout like the first hour lol, can’t tell if he ultimately had the patience to enjoy it by the end
For those curious a doom Where's All the Data? file type (WAD) is the file type that doom uses for Sprites, Game Data and Level Data, very convenient for modding :3.
Damn wished Charlie read the file while playing the mod, I don't know who said playing it complete blind and don't read anything up but they are like 100 percent deadass wrong about doing it like that. Like the emotional moment only in the journal "Happiness has to be fought for" is so emotional, wished Charlie found that out while looking for the secret/true ending it's an insane and estatic feeling.
I like Charlie's playthrough better than Jack's so far. You could tell Jack watched Power Pak's video before jumping in. It's fine, but he tried to sell hard that he didn't know what was going on
@@split-atomz6487 In my personal opinion I can see why you think that, but I personally think he found most of it on his own. I think he's more analytical in a sense and actually stopped to appreciate/look at the house more. Love Charlie, but he's treating it too much like a speedrun and I get the feeling like he wasn't expecting much in the first place. Also in Jack's video, he said at one point he was recording for a while and looked up the steps for the sinks, so I think he went in blind and started to search up steps whenever something has been the same for too long, so I don't think he ever watched the video. Also people probably would have flammed him if he didn't find everything, so if he did watch the video I don't blame him, better than clicking on the same things and never paying attention to anything changing.
Was pretty hard to look at the speedrunning ... so many missed things caused by lightspeed mouse movements and no focus. This mod really requires patience and paying attention. I stopped watching when chat said to go in the mirror 😢
This map takes me on a very very intense emotional and sensory ride. Chills shivers whenever i play it. This guy showed ZERO EMOTION OR APPRECIATION ....
He played it blind no context other than what was in front of him , also Charlie is literally known for not getting spooked or having little to no emotion and again how can you appreciate something you don't understand
The people saying Underhalls is regular doom in this wad are very incorrect. It's 1, intended progressions to get the super shotgun and 2, it's a meta thing as the level itself also has a house of sorts in it. 3, it goes right back to my house and if you go into the mirror and finish the level, underhalls will also be affected.
its been possible to have room over room in doom for a long time now, at least 10 years there's several sourceports that update the game's engine to add stuff like silent teleporters so you can easily do stuff like room over room if you use them cleverly
Well, no. Only in the first version of the house is it a true Doom house. After the first round, it becomes the True 3D house with rooms over rooms, and opening doors.
This mod is really creative and I know it's very impressive what it accomplishes in the Doom engine, but does anyone else feel these types of retro-inspired indie games are getting too samey? I feel like I've seen "surreal, retro-style game with a message about mental health" a hundred times now. Don't get me wrong, the general message My House gets across is great, but I also don't like that the journal is basically required to get certain moments in the game to hit at all.
Yeah, it’s super impressive, but I do agree with you. You know what needs to make a comeback? RPG maker horror games, god I miss those, and it honestly feels like they had more effort put into them than the typical 3D horror game nowadays. There was just something so unique about them that modern horror games lack.
i feel that the message is more about grief/losing things, and i like that there's only so many times you can pull off "THE MONSTER WAS TRAUMA ALL ALONG....... (mic drop)"
@@foppypoof5195 ive followed that scene for years and rpgmaker horror is coming back in a way. a lot of the old classics have been remade in MV with quality of life improvements but stay true to the original. pocket mirror just got remade for steam! although fully new IPs are few and far between. its really niche

- No, this engine isnt 30 years old. This is gzdoom, a fork in a long line of DOOM forks that has existed for years and comes with modern game design features. Almost nothing about this would be possible in the original 1993 DOOM engine.
- "Two Stories" has been possible for a decade at least, whether it be using silent teleports, or line portals. This map uses the latter. So yes, you can do basements in DOOM, at least since silent teleports have been a thing.
14:30 no, doom maps could have basements before this. The map is using a relatively well known technique, if difficult to use properly and only really implemented in the last 15 years or so, called silent teleporters to simulate room over room. It's exactly what it sounds like, you cross a line on the floor and you get teleported, silently and without the usual visual effect, to an identical version of the house, but with a basement instead of an upper floor
Yeah people seem to be pushing the wrong idea about why this map is impressive from a technical/mapping standpoint.
The capabilities have been fairly doable for a while now with Doom modding. It's how insanely well crafted, thought out, implimented and the detail in doing so thats impressive. The amount of effort and thought put into how to use the different capabilities is the crazy part.
@@kingkiller14000 I’m only impressed with how seem less all the crazy amount of details come across in the game
I just want to point out that this game did use the teleporter technique at the start, but once the house restarts, it switches to using seamless portals instead, which preserve the illusion much, much better.
Uh. It only uses that technique in the first version of the house. The second version just uses true 3D.
@@SuperHornetA51 That's misinformation. It can't use full 3d. It uses portals.
Oh yes, been binge watching almost everyone playing this. And now Charlie too? What a treat!! ❤
decino will do it on Saturday... which is arguably the one who I want to play it the most 😄
The first person I ever watched play this was Vinesauce. Then after that…everyone started to play the map!
@@BrickFighter13 same for me
I started with vinny then i think I watched pyrocinical play it then Jacksepticeye and now charlie
Same here, can't get enough.
@@BrickFighter13 I think I first heard about this wad from IcarusLives, and then I watched jackcepticeye play it after doing a few runs myself. I can't wait for decino's playthrough, and I hope Markiplier plays it too.
13:45 this is actually the first time I noticed the teleport used to allow you to go to the basement floor. the door is glitchy like that because there are two doors
Its only done like this on the first version of the house to lull you into a false sense of simplicity. The second house and onward uses line portals seamlessly.
"Im trying to save ammo for my other guns."
Has max ammo for his other guns.
He doesn't realize that they share ammo. This man is the reason Doom Eternal did what it did to ammo.
The man hasn't played doom for at least a decade according to him @@WarningStrangerDanger
Watching Charlie repeatedly use the pistol over the shotgun is the most unsatisfying thing I’ve witnessed
“Im not saving, christ stop whining about it, it’s easy”
*Dies twice in the very beginning
The way he saves pisses me off.
@@SuperHornetA51 what piss me off more is the fact he keep using the pistol for no reason even when he have enough bullets,chaingun,a lot of shells for the shotgun and the super shotgun 😂
Progress is cumulative. He deleted his progress along the way.
The scariest part of the wad is that it’s not a wad file but a pk3 truly terrifying
Technically there is a wad file that’s just the house without the other stuff, but that’s not what people are here for.
@@prof.laytonfan764 exactly
The real wad were the demons we killed along the way.
If this is really modeled after the dude’s house, the. WHAT A BIG HOUSE!
Yeah, the backrooms hidden deep inside the house seem really unecessesary but who am i to judge? The dude might just like a lot of space for his dog
Yeah, can't believe he has his own personal airport! Plus a hospital just in case if you pass out, too. And did I forget to mention the giant concrete factory maze inside that one deep dark closet? Yeah, they didn't have any room for storing concrete so they made storage and used some of the concrete for the walls, floors, and ceilings.
Yeah its honestly kinda insane how many monsters that guy houses
1:06:06 Charlie plays my house wad again
@@jded_404the backrooms level itself is a photo of a hotel in London
“And it ate my house. Dammit. You son of a bitch.”
I love how this map blows all assumptions out of the water. You never know what's next. So many hidden mechanics that affect the progression. A masterpiece in map design.
7:30 game start

Thanks bud 🤝
Seriously what was the point of having all that dead air lol
@@Dobronxxx bc it's a vod
@@AstrialFox oh no shit thanks bro had no idea
That whole airport section is so good, I would love an entire game like that. Something about being completely alone in an airport is off putting
we have reached the point to where a doom map has surpassed quite a few triple A games in noteriety.
Ashes 2063 😂 ( its a total conversion wad that many who play it saybits too good its surpass some modren triple A)
Because of this mod iv been reading house of leaves, and what a ride it is
I don't know shit about this mod but what does it have to do with house of leaves? Genuinely curious
@@Matt-lx5my it was inspired by house of leaves
@@Matt-lx5my a lot of the mod takes ideas out of House of Leaves and has some nods to it. The book itself is known for being a very difficult read due to the almost schizophrenic--looking writings of the author.
@@potatotower7288 I'm familiar with house of leaves lol I just don't really see it, I get that there's more rooms in the house than their should be but that's the only similarity I see
@@Matt-lx5mywatch the video essay on it. You’ll see the similarities there.
if your having an anxiety attack the documentary is a great thing to watch if you want it to last longer 👍🏼
57:11 what short lived joy for having his door back
44:11 the music playing as Charlie ponders what killing the good dog would do
1:31:46 That transition to a new plane of reality was smoooooth
This is such an amazing tribute to house of leaves. I can’t recommend reading that more it’s not even just a book it’s a full on experience lol
Even though I knew what would happen when he finally killed the bad dog, I still felt it when he realised he can kill the good boy
1:06:26
Oo, nice telefragging that shotgunner through the silent teleporter I never seen that before...
I cant believe Charlie just started playing vanilla Doom 2 not realizing it
Usually in play throughs you do that to get the super shotgun, but he didn't end up using it so, ya your right.
happiness has to be fought for…
i thought the moral of the manga was to love yourself the way you are
@stmsinread the journal attached to the WAD. Provided context.
@@lordadorable7362I think they were saying Doom is edgy as fuck lol
@@smealm the moral of the manga is don't expect any sort of realistic characters from a hentai artist
thats cringe
So happy this creativity is being shared around!
Says the co developer
@@tamakaramaena you think I’m the codeveloper? 🤨
The surrealist's nature of the many changing environments combined w/the horror elements of this remind me a bit, at the very least in its tone, of the film _Skinamarink..._
That’s definitely because Skinamarink took a lot of influence from House of Leaves
Is it worth watching?
@@j.s.7894we got the book, the movie, and now the game. The holy trinity is complete
@@WarningStrangerDangerit’s really good but it is super divisive
Fun fact: The discord message notification sound that plays at 2:11:53 is actually a part of the game's music.
Funner fact: You're wrong. It's a sound effect played by the map when you reach 10 minutes. It doesn't appear again when the music loops and it also appears when you're on a different music track.
@@bjorntantau194 Funnest fact: Pedantism. The important part of the fact is that the game is playing it, and it's not part of Charlie's regular PC noises 😂
44:20 "man i wonder" instantly figures out the good dog and bad dog are the same.
MyHouse.WAD is amazing, the descent of a doom house map slowly twisting and turning into a sprawling nightmare with underlying tones like good dog, bad dog, the confession and the incoherent liminal spaces just can't be described with words.
u mean PK3 not WAD, WAD is just the original myhouse file on the floppy
I like the truly blind play throughs. Though I do recommend reading the journal and some of the supplementary material as that was the author's intent nd it does have some clues in case you get stuck.
That wouldn't be a blind playthrough then.
maybe he should have expressed that intention, lol.
@@prawngravy18 if it is in the files with the mod then it is fair game. if you read other peoples hints and tricks on forums or watch another play through then it isn't blind.
Even charlie’s playing this omg
What a fancy expression for this game "now is getting very non euclidean" xD
That’s the proper term for impossible spaces.
Charlie in this video is apathy personified from what Iv seen so far (which honestly is just Charlie's natural state, just him being him), but to me thats what makes this a poor video to experience MyHouse.wad with, its not fun even for people who do know what happens because charlie just isnt all that interested in it. His attitude is just constantly "meh i guess whatever", i have much better time watching him create his own wrestling league
PowerPak has the best edited video about this mod
Spazmatic Banana has the best blind playthrough iv seen because hes more familiar with Doom ll, its a funny and entertaining watch, theres points where he actually gets jumpscared pretty hard and it all ends in legendary fashion
21:37 fun fact, the discord notification is coming from the game, it activates each 10 minutes
I know nothing about this game until I saw this video, I just gotta say this game is unbelievably unsettling.
The endless monotonous level design, the distorted sound effects of everything, the uncomfortable screaming sounds, the surreal background music, it all just comes together real well to make just an intensely unsettling environment to traverse and learn about.
Edit: 2:36:45 It was mentioned that the creator of this game was inspired by the novel, "House of Leaves", which actually makes a lot of sense. "House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski, is one of my all time favorite horror novels, and it is just an amazing "Horror Experience" about a really weird House. I say experience, because it legitimately is more than just reading a book, it's absolutely a horror experience like no other. I did feel like while watching this game, it definitely had some qualities that were similar to things that happen in House of Leaves.
In case it's not obvious from my comment... Go read "House of Leaves".
the original game is called DOOM. it was made in the 1990s i belieive? Sometime before I was born (2004)
@@NightStats I was aware that the original game was Doom, since I did used to play it when I was a kid, I apologize that I didn't clarify by saying, "I know nothing about this game mod." Still I genuinely appreciate the response. 👍
The thing about this wad is
"The more you fuck around the more you find out"
I find Charlie expecting cutscenes in Doom very amusing.
My house, in the middle of the street, my house!
"Doom maps with basements were considered impossible before this map" NO LOL GOD DAMN THEY'VE ONLY BEEN AROUND FOR LIKE 20 YEARS
Why is he trying to speedrun? He runs past things he's activated without even noticing like the sink and goes between hitting interact on everything in the same room repeatedly but then just completely ignores others so frustrating calm down dude and look with your eyes whats happening
OMG. Finally. I stopped watching his gaming VODs awhile ago because of that. Literally every f’ing game. He has no interest in gaming anymore, he just goes through the motions for viewers/content.
He doesn't care.
23:43 Charlie unknowingly stutter stepping over the line teleport area causing a massive lag spike was hilarious
(for those who dont know, the doom engine cant create rooms on top of one another, to create the illusion of a bottom floor, an invisible portal is created at around the area charlie is hovering here, to an entirely different area somewhere else, you can walk, see, and shoot through it, though evidently not entirely fluidly)
I don't see what you mean, I know there's a portal there but it's indistinguishable from the rest of the area. I don't even notice the lag spike you mention
Bruh stop spreading misinformation.
@@godlyvex5543 what he's talking about only appears in the first version of the house.
Finally! Been trying to get him to watch the video all week. Hope he does a main channel vid.
The entire story of this map is literally genius level intellect and years of work.
Charlie seems like he genuinely dislikes the game throughout like the first hour lol, can’t tell if he ultimately had the patience to enjoy it by the end
i can feel the pain in his exploration especially considering he isnt really a doom player
nah he didnt like it, was pretty bored lmao its not about not liking doom he just wasnt into it because he was going in blind, watch the end
@@LKonstantina915lol he really shouldn’t have lists red to chat who said not to read the journal that actually hints at puzzle solutions
bro this is the definition of insanity hes doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results
Damn If I grew up in a house like that shit would’ve been so easy😭
A similar Doom map thats worth a playthrough is, "The thing you cant defeat."
Has he tried 'Doom but Doomguy has dementia' yet?
That OST goes immorally hard
Doom's OST is eternal
i want more videos of charlie going up against children in various games and ruining their days.
charlie was prolly fuming when he picked up the mags but it said "Picked up a clip"
I watched the twitch vod because I thought it would be better with chat.
Turns out it's just a bunch of backseaters and spoilers. Classic. Lol
For those curious a doom Where's All the Data? file type (WAD) is the file type that doom uses for Sprites, Game Data and Level Data, very convenient for modding :3.
Time to watch the fifth Myhouse .wad playthrough
Hasn't gotten old yet
Charlie's demeanor is so funny. He barely reacts to all the crazy shit that's happening. Like he's done this all before.
Bro wasted all his ammo and asked the dog to talk it out before he even considered the: 🐶🔫
WAD means just "Where's All the Data", shows doom where all the game data is👍
Damn wished Charlie read the file while playing the mod, I don't know who said playing it complete blind and don't read anything up but they are like 100 percent deadass wrong about doing it like that.
Like the emotional moment only in the journal "Happiness has to be fought for" is so emotional, wished Charlie found that out while looking for the secret/true ending it's an insane and estatic feeling.
I legit watched power pak's video on this a few days ago, so far jacksepticeye played it and now charlie hell yeah
Hoping for markiplier next since he has a connection to classic doom
I like Charlie's playthrough better than Jack's so far. You could tell Jack watched Power Pak's video before jumping in. It's fine, but he tried to sell hard that he didn't know what was going on
@@split-atomz6487 does it really matter lol
@@dxdraco1534no, just dropping my opinion and found it disingenuous of him because he was pretty much acting rather than reacting.
@@split-atomz6487 In my personal opinion I can see why you think that, but I personally think he found most of it on his own. I think he's more analytical in a sense and actually stopped to appreciate/look at the house more. Love Charlie, but he's treating it too much like a speedrun and I get the feeling like he wasn't expecting much in the first place. Also in Jack's video, he said at one point he was recording for a while and looked up the steps for the sinks, so I think he went in blind and started to search up steps whenever something has been the same for too long, so I don't think he ever watched the video. Also people probably would have flammed him if he didn't find everything, so if he did watch the video I don't blame him, better than clicking on the same things and never paying attention to anything changing.
you can see in Charlie's face the moment he realizes he has to kill the good dog to beat the bad dog
16:06 Oof, standing by the girls bathroom, grunting, is not the best look.
Porky's: _What's that strange hole in the wall?_
44:15 the moment where Charlie's neurons started to fire as he realizes he needs to do it
2:24:49 That caught me off guard.
the 3 hour clip
I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks Charlie for the entertainment 🤘🏽

@@smokey024 that's exactly why. Because of millions of views Power Pak got on his video about this game.
Was pretty hard to look at the speedrunning ... so many missed things caused by lightspeed mouse movements and no focus. This mod really requires patience and paying attention. I stopped watching when chat said to go in the mirror 😢
This map takes me on a very very intense emotional and sensory ride. Chills shivers whenever i play it. This guy showed ZERO EMOTION OR APPRECIATION ....
He played it blind no context other than what was in front of him , also Charlie is literally known for not getting spooked or having little to no emotion and again how can you appreciate something you don't understand
Happiness needs to be fought for
The people saying Underhalls is regular doom in this wad are very incorrect. It's 1, intended progressions to get the super shotgun and 2, it's a meta thing as the level itself also has a house of sorts in it. 3, it goes right back to my house and if you go into the mirror and finish the level, underhalls will also be affected.
chat being condescending was so fucking annoying
They watch an hour doc on it and they’re instantly experts 😂
Ah. My favorite A24 movie "Every Enemy in the Game All at Once"
glad more people are talking about this
palying it alone on a large living room alone is scary af, had to open twitch on the side as backgorund noise
Literally no reason for Charlie to have played this blind, glad he enjoyed it but he would've been better off just watching the video
I found out about it and then I see Jacksepticeye play it, and now Moist is also playing it?
And next, you’re going to play it. 🙂
This is how it goes, my guy. Were you around for the Slenderman days?
@@split-atomz6487 yup
"Happiness has to be fought for"
One thing I hardly see people mention is the fact the basement exists. Doom maps are 2d so it should be impossible to have a 3d enviorment
its been possible to have room over room in doom for a long time now, at least 10 years
there's several sourceports that update the game's engine to add stuff like silent teleporters so you can easily do stuff like room over room if you use them cleverly
That moment when Charlie had to kill the dog with the sudden mellow music change is sad
Everyone that enjoyed this needs to go out and buy themselves a physical copy of House of Leaves.
He stayed awfully quiet the whole video
no way, the tts dono in pyro's stream predicted this hahaha
Needs more dogs as pets(cop 3).
only just now noticed that sometimes the doors open differently. Sometimes they slide up, sometimes they open like normal doors.
Well, no. Only in the first version of the house is it a true Doom house.
After the first round, it becomes the True 3D house with rooms over rooms, and opening doors.
This mod is really creative and I know it's very impressive what it accomplishes in the Doom engine, but does anyone else feel these types of retro-inspired indie games are getting too samey? I feel like I've seen "surreal, retro-style game with a message about mental health" a hundred times now. Don't get me wrong, the general message My House gets across is great, but I also don't like that the journal is basically required to get certain moments in the game to hit at all.
Yeah, it’s super impressive, but I do agree with you. You know what needs to make a comeback? RPG maker horror games, god I miss those, and it honestly feels like they had more effort put into them than the typical 3D horror game nowadays. There was just something so unique about them that modern horror games lack.
@@foppypoof5195 yeah, I'd love to see those make a comeback.
@@TheDGBgamerscan u explain the message of this mod?
