Sometimes you watch or play something and then it’s over and the room goes quiet and you just sort of sit there.
I completely understand
Especially late at night.
Absolutely
I really think coda is a metaphor for daveys creativity/insecurity. Like this whole game feels like hes talking to/about himself
honest, I started being a bit creeped out when narrator first told he showed Coda's work to other people without permission. i am a deeply anxious person, but like creative writing , be it poem, novel, short story, opinion text, etc. never published anything longer then a comment or a review. The tought of someone going behind my back and showing my work and psychoanalizing me with it is horrendous.
i think (and hope) it's a fictional story for just that reason 🤞🏻
The primary theory is that Coda is Davey/Davey's Insecurity
@@user-po9pv7rw1g It is. Coda is fictional.
I completely relate to this comment.
Honestly. It doesn’t matter if the story is real, or fake. It’s so motivating.. like I honestly cried at the part where we realize the narrator was putting fake situations or changing things that weren’t meant to be there. It’s a thing that makes us realize that maybe people do things for validation, and don’t think about the full picture that maybe this should be left as is.
To answer the question of "Is Coda real?"
No. Davey confirmed in an interview with the podcast Tone Control in February 2018 that Coda is a fictional character. But honestly that makes this story more impressive. The narrative is specifically crafted to make you think about what it actually means to create something for creations sake vs. for the pleasure of those who would interact with it. Davey knew from his success of the Stanley Parable that playable narrative stories have a huge impact, and used that to his advantage to make us examine those methods. What do they mean? Is playing a game bad? Is it about how I state my criticism? What does it mean to connect with someone's creations? Am I connecting with them personally on some level? He used the emotion of the fictional story to evoke critical thought in the most metaversal way possible. There is an inherent beauty in that fact alone.
Edited for my miserable spelling 😅
such a fascinating concept. I am relieved that the story isn't factual. But the fact it was believable to a degree shows how relatable the emotions behind it can be
After a bit of research, the game IS fictional. But it is also real, however coda and davey are the same person. He made this as a way of saying sorry to himself for how he felt after making TSP.
I was wondering half way through, and especially at the end, if coda and davey were one in the same. With the hints about one-way conversation and the broken promises.
What is TSP?
TSP: The Stanley Parable
@@marinaa9557 the Stanley parable
It's actually a little more complicated than that. Davey talked in a speech he gave shortly before The Beginner's Guide came out that the "being around you makes me physically ill" line was something a good friend of his had once said to him, that had forced him to do some critical soul-searching. The happy news is that, unlike fictional Davey, real-life Davey was apparently able to repair this relationship, but it still sounds like it left him with a lot of thoughts and feelings to process, which he eventually did so with help of this game.
So, yes, the literal plot of the game is completely fictional: Davey didn't steal another developer's games and publish them for money on Steam as part of an ill-conceived plot to try to get someone who ghosted him to talk to him again. But it does seem like Fictional Davey may have had some feelings and ideas that Real Life Davey was working through, and used his fictional avatar to communicate.
You laughed at the jello keycaps but now I kinda wanna see an edible keyboard lol
You could even make it out of like hard candy or something so it's solid and sturdy
Gummy Keyboard?
hardddd gelatin!
Chocolate as the chat already said. I need it!
Coda- Oxford English Dictionary definition
the concluding passage of a piece or movement, typically forming an addition to the basic structure.
"the first movement ends with a fortissimo coda"
the concluding section of a dance, especially of a pas de deux or the finale of a ballet in which the dancers parade before the audience.
a concluding event, remark, or section.
"his new novel is a kind of coda to his previous books"
I feel like the final maze was a symbol of the weight and endless expanse of chasing perfection. 😌 Coda was the human element that had decided to walk away, while his computer (the narrator) sat in a prison of unfinished misery it could never escape.
Beautifully put
He made 1 game that took 5 months, 1 that took 6, and 1 that took 7 and in that order. Certainly a bit of a stretch to associate that to the passcode but it seems to align.
Also, did you notice the "SS whisper" in the "im blind" level? The whisper was the thing that escaped in one of the first games. Then in the blind level the whisper is crashing into the great and mighty door puzzle.
It almost seems to be saying Coda's intuition escaped him early on when the narrator was introduced and later was telling him to destroy the very "point" the narrator had imposed on his world (the puzzle door). That being a point or puzzle to solve, something to get past, an end goal.
Anyways quite a twist of events ayy. Definitely a unique piece of work, quite existential.
You are a genius for figuring out the password combination. I guarantee that sequence is where it came from.
@@Smartielew thanks, but just consider how impossible it would have been to think that up instead of reverse engineering it. Coda definitely didn’t want to let them in. It’s certainly much easier to associate the numbers once you have them.
These are fascinating. Most older artists sketch on paper, perhaps writing notes next to designs, or typing a list of video ideas like y'all do, inspo boards, etc. Instead I see these as sketches of games. It's a way to play around with the engine and see what ideas do and don't work and physically what does and doesn't work. Sometimes you play with a blob of clay then smash it. Stretch up putty and let it coil into a pile and "melt" or stretch it until it's thin little strings. I've been doing some sketches recommended from a YT video with drawing curvy lines on a paper, going back with black marker tracing and thickening them where they intersect. Some look like spidewebs, one looks like the little ripples in retreating beach waves. One idea is to add color, which I haven't done yet, but I want to eventually.
My printmaking prof in college talked about something that the lamp posts immediately reminded me of. He talked about a certain shape that kept showing up in a student's art, and the student wasn't even aware that he was doing it. The student wasn't even sure at first what it was, but he eventually figured out it was a certain window from his childhood home that he must have spent a lot of time looking out and daydreaming, and that shape kept subconsciously showing up in his work! Isn't that wild?
The game with all the notes gave me mixed feelings when the narrator said that they were all his thoughts. I get it. But reading the negative and snarky thoughts made me sad. I understand that those are the gamut of feelings all artists feel when making things, and I'm a terrible self critic, and maybe thats why it hurts. I don't want other creators beating up on themselves like I do. My dad was my biggest critic, and he has a very negative self voice, even now in his mid 70s, and unfortunately I've adopted that. I know that I will live the rest of my life with that voice. Hopefully I can shrink her into an ant in the background, but you still feel an ant biting you.
Anyway, friends, be kinder to yourselves. Give yourself permission to make mistakes, fail, and get upset, but try not to spend too much time in this space. Pick yourself back up, and get back on the horse. Sketches don't need to be grand ideas and perfect works! They're sketches! Learn about your materials, your space, and yourself. Do you feel trapped in modern society and yearn for the world outside? Or perhaps, like me, you feel trapped in your body (mine sucks). I went out like the Challenger my last year of college and never finished. I became disabled and eventually a shutin. I've spent far too much time in that dark hole hating and punishing myself.
If you're in a similar position, "Stop that! You are an amazing person! You have value. You will find purpose if you need it, so keep climbing! Keep going! You really never know what is around the corner, and if it's bad? Keep going. The next corner after may bring something amazing. You have it in you to make it through. I believe in you!" I'll be your cheerleader. Will you be mine?
Okay, now it's after 3:30 am and I finished crying as quietly as possible. Did anyone catch that email address at the start?
You don't know how similar positions we are in so i will be your cheerleader. I'm proud of you for acknowledging that negative voice isn't helping that it's not there to make you a "stronger person" but that voice is a family heirloom that nobody wants or asked for i'm proud of you for still being compassionate when others would have given in to the easier road of anger and bitterness. Your body may feel like a prison but these flesh suits can't hold back ideas even if it may take longer we can set our ideas free into the world same as anyone else. You can do this you can keep going even when that small negative voice says otherwise. You have value our value doesn't come from how strong our bodies are or how productive we can be but we have value because we are beings with thoughts ideas and you add even more to this world because you are kind and empathetic to the plight of others. Your post made me cry i'm going through a really hard time i am one class away from finishing college and have been for the last four years burning out and my health becoming worse and realizing I had adhd but i kept ignoring it and pushing forward my body breaking down but i ignored it and kept pushing forward because it feels like and felt like only those with familial support have the luxury of burning out until i could absolutely not push anymore losing my job after a year of being bullied by my supervisor and immediately being admitted to the hospital for sepsis due to ignoring my health but the shame i felt/feel with never completing anything regardless of whether i know why is so much too carry but i had no choice but to pay attention to my chronic illnesses both physical and mental now that i've hidden myself away from the outside world i was/am burnt out. I keep teetering back and forth from past tense and present tense because that's where i'm at right now finally taking action to unstuck myself after four years but still not yet moved on depending on the day. Thank you for your post i would never wish these feelings upon anyone else but it's nice to know i'm not alone in this space and feeling trapped in my own body wanting it to have more energy and less pain.
As an artist with burnout and depression, this game really, really hit something in me. I'm out here bawling like a baby at work.
Hugs 🤗
I didn't just burn out...I self destructed. I've shut myself away, built up a wall...but my bff and my nieces are bringing me out. Slowly. Plus therapy.
Oh much hugs to all of you ❤ I'm glad you have wonderful people supporting you getting out of that deep pit
Woah…. This was like a real existential journey.. like a look inside the heart.. so the narrator is coda but it’s his past self he wants to apologize to himself for feeling that way before and what he put himself through, his journey to find meaning to his craft… wow. That’s honestly genius storytelling. Dude! You just solved your own problem. Why do you feel invalidated? Trapped? You’re reaching people who enjoy your work clearly. But I get it. Is it ever enough?
It’s such a sad story yet beautiful because it’s genuine emotion and feelings coming from this person, if it’s a real experience and not just a story.
I’m struggling with depression right now and watching your videos is like the door to freedom and just gets me out of my head thank you very much for making these videos and sharing them with us ❤❤❤
An entirely edible keyboard would be so funny. The key caps definitely need to be jello!
When he said he showed coda’s work to other people the disgust hit me so hard. I write short stories, poems, etc that are very personal and very much embedded with emotion I don’t often show them to people but sometimes I will. If that person took my work and showed it to others and got validation from it I would genuinely hate them, that is taking my trust and crushing it.
The primary theory is that Coda is Davey/Davey's Insecurity
I watched a playthrough of this game years ago. I ended up buying it, not because I thought I'd ever play it (I mean, I already knew the secret), but to support the developer who made such a thought provoking game. For a time, I had the artwork in one of the game levels as my background. I was super excited to see you two play this. I love the look on peoples faces at the lamp post reveal.
Some of the "unplayable" or shorter or weird games within this game are inspiring. I also like the short indy game, 2:22AM by umbrella-isle. There's something about artistic experiences that exist in a world with rules, standards, and expectations and breaking them that bring me joy. Thanks for playing this!
Okay just finished the video, did anyone else find it more comforting than scary or sad? Or is that my depression ramping up again? Like I got the same comforting vibes from this as I do a Ghibli movie...
I found it to be quite melancholic, it felt like sitting on the porch in the rain to me.
It made me feel this way too
@@skylark3232 glad it’s not just me
Yes it's like someone else knows the feelings and can put it in the words. It's comforting. And sad.
This was amazing just for Evans sheer belief in the story.
“I wonder if coda worked on this in the evenings’ 😅😅
Yes, the game was inspiring (though I had to stop halfway through and come back to it the next day, it got uncomfortable long before the breakdown), but I also loved your final message. That, to me, was just as inspiring as the game itself.
Wow... It's been a hot minute since a game has made me feel existential... I'd bet this is the one that has hit me the hardest
"Press, Press, Press...
Oh, this is the press."
😂😂😂
Well this is a fun little midnight treat
As a game designer I played this game to get inspiration for my builds.
Oh how fun! I bet the dev would love to hear that
I hope they show/play this game in psych classes. Wow
Years ago, the guy who made the Stanley Parable (I assume it's the same guy) was a guest on Harmontown and I remember it being really interesting hearing him talk about it. I would LOVE to hear him discuss this game!
If I remember correctly, there might be a commentary track. It's been a while since I've played, though.
@@hopemoore that sounds really cool, I need to check! Thanks✌️
I'm glad you guys played this. Its been awhile since I last watched someone do a let's play, and I thought I understood what was going on in the game. I understand it even more years later
i remember when gloom played this.. its almost as if the dev wanted you to feel like you were in coda's brain considering how personal some of his games were.
im also a firm beliver that coda is just an alter ego of davey (the dev) and davey just wanted an interesting way of telling his journey.
My name is Koda and I approve this message lol
I wonder if Davey (the narrator) and Coda (the game maker) were 2 personalities in one body. Coda being the very creative side and only able to express himself and experience new things through game making. Davey being jealous of the curiosity and creativity, being able to feel it but not able to do anything with it. Could Coda have disappeared because of how negatively Davey started to view him and the creation of this game the only way to get Coda back?
Just my thoughts, I love your videos, btw!❤
This is surrealism. It makes my brain hurt a little.
Please, make a warning on this video for those who may suffer with vertigo, migraines, epilepsy etc.
It was creeping me out but I felt like I couldn't look away!
Coda just liked to make prison games...Davey just liked to make maze games.
What a perfectly timed stream, I was looking to revisit playthroughs for this!
Oh man, editor is going to have a job editing this. What would you take out? It's perfect just the way it is. Just slap a "Evan and Katelyn 2" on it and call it good.
You could make a jello keyboard that looks like jello but it’s really just colorful squishy resin.
Here to say jello keycaps would be sick
This is so awesome. Every one of these ❤ you said it perfectly in the end. Thank you for sharing. It makes sense.
Oh I absolutely love this game. Glad you played it.
If you guys like multiplayer games you should give "wizard with a gun" a try. Great game with a bit of a retro feel.
Coda is davey he wants us to feel how he felt. Hopefully used to feel.
Evan and Katelyn always make my day☺
Before I start this I just wanna say I adore yall and I adore this game ❤
54:55 I'm so curious whether the 'prison escape' method would do anything if you tried it in this room. I'm assuming there's a lamp in there somewhere, although I don't think you can see one in this video.
my brain hurts
awwwww. i loved this.
omg silicone keycaps
Years ago i think i watched mark play this before i watched him play Stanley parable, it was so sad and intriguing
Yeah, I find these kind of games disturbing. Sorta like feeling someone reading over your shoulder but turning around and finding no one there. 👀💦
oh god, I'm sobing right now, poor coda. I would help him with anything he needs.'😭😭
damn I was wrong it was me the whole time who needed help.
@@moortezaa3397 this
You guys are the best
I love this weird game.
Good morning Evan and Katelyn
These are the games I LOVE watching you guys play for hours and hours. 😌 I feel like it’s been a while… I think the last one I really enjoyed was Palworld or Dave the diver…(outside of the OGs like house flipper)
I absolutely loved watching them play Palworld and am still sad that they apparently abandoned it. It was one of my favorites that they've played on their channel and they seemed to be loving it, too, so......? 😕
@@andiyfarr7715 yes! We need more of the good stuff! Haha
Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you so much for the super thanks donation!
Now y’all should play Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture
Not sure if you guys know but little nightmares 3 is coming out in 2025. I would love to see you play it when it comes out!
well, that took a hard left!
NGL I really want to see jello key caps
might have to play this for myself at some point, this is just a little too goofy for the vibe I want from the game
I'm with you on that it's not a really goofy kind of game
Oh darn, I missed a stream. I keep forgetting to check your schedule.
Why does the voice Katelyn uses around 52:00 remind me of Kson from VShojo?
Hello Evan and Katelyn 😊
What’s the song playing during 50:04
Uggghh how did I miss the stream 😭
Jeah I had the same :( literally saw the Twitch notification after the stream ended
Same 😢😢😢
I had this problem for a while. If you join the Discord, you can set up Twitch notifications there as a back up. Sometimes Discord is late too, but only by a few minutes in my experience.
Follow their schedule on twitch
Why I got sick watching this 😢 my head hurts
1:22 in and I'm predicting I'm gonna cry, posting to say I called it, in comments
Ok, cryin at 13:32 you win
silicone keyboard who agrees??
I can't believe i am this fast. Everything i watch on your guys channels are always amazing❤️❤️❤️
It was my birthday lol
Silicon keyboard
You guys should do a playthrough of resident evil 8
❤❤❤
Hi
Didn't do anything for me except a vague sense confused awkwardness, but I guess it's just not my cup of tea.
I really wish yall had tithes the music of, found it easy to loud😢
Hiii
Can you play red dead redemption 2 it got out in 2018 but its literally a master piece its really a beautiful game it is a 72houre of game but u can play Manny part Like #1 #2 and it is a game that is really Sad at thé end thé principal character d¡e but AFTER you play is best friend and revenge him and i love that game
Guys can you play sons of the forest again 😢
Who’s R?. 😢
;)❤
44th like and 20th comment! I love you’re vids and have been watching since 2019, I have 3 kids that also watch your vids and right now I’m watching this with all 3 of them. You guys are so awesome and funny, I love ALL your types of videos I watch your crafts and gaming videos, and I think my favorite craft you did is the island clock. BTW you guys inspired me to start playing some of what are now my favorite games!
meow
Early gang!!
Personally I wouldn't call this a game, more of an interactive story time. Not my cup of tea sorry guys.
"interactive story time" very reductive. The story is fictional, it's an art piece on the meaning of art and what you do with it where you watch the narrator unravel.
As a non-artist, this game is incredibly boring to me. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it though, and I'll always support your content, but I can't explain how uninteresting abstract stuff like this is to me.
I feel ya. I fell asleep to the twitch stream twice last night when they were playing live. 😢
Early 🗣🔥🔥
HELP IM EARLY
First
Nope
PLAY PLANET CRAFTER
This game sucks.
"Press, Press, Press...
Oh, this is the press."
