Complete Heart of Darkness Deaths

- This video categorically covers every single death from the E-rated Heart of Darkness platforming video game. Enjoy!
By the way, this game is not just a deathfest. It has an excellent story, really nice graphics for its time, and fun gameplay. It takes itself very seriously, and the death scenes keep you from getting bored of dying. Needless to say, It works.
Note: Technically, the second shadow captain is not a death, but it appears so when you cut it off here!

That magical, indestructible shoe to survive all trauma even when you cannot! Nike!
Or the fact that it's Crash Bandicoot brand...!
Except for when it falls in lava.
How to animate a little kid dismemberment and still be rated E
There's actually an unfounded rumor going around that the cancelled gameboy advance port was going to have an adidas sponsor lol
The Shoes of Immortality....
These are probably some of the most brutal game deaths I've seen in a game, and they come from a Rated E, PS1 game. Incredible
Especially since it’s just a kid like damn..
man for a E rated game there is a ton of graphic deaths
+diskjockygaming I played this game when I was 9 and it absolutely traumatized me.
+ChaseFace True shit, here i'am.. 24 years old and still traumatized from this shit. Can clear Amnesia without breaking a sweat, but this shit touched me where i can never show you...
I know...I guess the ESRB people were smoking crack that day. They rereleased it shortly after with an adjusted rating of T
Yeah like in some of them the only thing they left out was the blood, the most disturbing for me is when you can hear him shouting and then just a loud crack as they snap his neck or spine or whatever and he just goes limp and silent, really awful lol, but I grew up playing this and things like duke nukem and what not and I'm fine in the end, only game that bothered me as a kid was mortal kombat, that gave me nightmares
FredFun I
I'm so glad this game was rated E, otherwise I would have never gotten it for my 10th birthday. I love this game so much. The nightmare fuel just made me even more obsessed with it, lmao
Same.
BBFC > ESRB
...so uh...
Rated E for everyone?
definitely
Of course, why not?
Its not even just the vore, while the kid has some stretchy cartoon physics to him, the monsters that stretch him out are clearly breaking his neck/spine...
Or NF for nightmare fuel, more like.
Kotoj Kurogian Exactly, it's bullshit. It's bullshit and I refuse to accept it.
ESRB "You said there is no blood right?"
Game publisher: "No blood at all! Only shirt or jeans being ripped off by monsters of course. And no, thats not dismemerment, Andy just turns into a single shoe."
ESRB "Sounds good, Rated E for everyone then, I wont even play it for 2 seconds"
And that's the story of how my parents got this game for me when I was 9 and got scarred for life. I was also obsessed with this game.
Imagine a modern implementation of this game. Rendering this kind of violence with the full force of modern hardware might leave a handful of the artists with a lifelong therapy bill
Thanks *MATTHEWMATOSIS*
One can only dream I suppose.
That probably wouldn't happen nowadays unless the developer was forced to make the main character a teenager at the bare minimum. Since... You know... The modern games industry doesn't really take kindly to the idea of a child dying.
@@KitsuneYojimbo Unless you take into account limbo and inside
I hear that MK artists and animators need serious therapy bc of how realistic the gore is lmaooo
Holy crap. One of those things straight up broke his spine. Yeah I'm calling BS on this rating
SO AM I!!!!
And there was one that stripped his flesh
Yeah, unfortunately, as you can see, the ESRB was MUCH more laid back when it came to ratings based on content. Nowadays, this game would have a guaranteed M rating with some of the deaths.
@@KitsuneYojimbo
Unfortunately? No, that's good. Let the kids be scarred for life.
@@KitsuneYojimbo Kids who actually enjoyed things always hate kids like you who wanted everything restricted because you're too sensitive lol
The devour scenes are the most fucked up ones, specially the underwater sucker and tentacles. Old Pixel Graphics make it even more terrifying somehow.
Because your head fills in the gaps from the dated graphics
i remember playing this as a kid...
this fucked my system up!
After all these years I'm still traumatized 😂😂
Bro same hear
quando "aver paura della propria ombra" è legittimo
That back break.
Ah my favorite!
"Rated E for Everyone"
BACK BREAKER
True "broke back mountain"
3:34 just one of the deaths that really made me surprised just cause of how it sounded and the sudden cease in all movement, I'm amazed that it was an E rated game like this that pioneered the use of multiple death scenes.
I'm glad someone else noted that one, don't know why it just hits different than the rest
I scrolled to the comments after seeing that one XD and saw this game was rated E then your comment. gnarly death for an E game. also 4:27
It's a realistic one
BBFC > ESRB
the cliff worm death is sort of unsettling...
I’ll stay with Super Mario where dying just sends you flying up and then down, thanks.
Dead space before dead space
No, this game had no bloods
This comment made my day
perhaps we should ask our moms if they like it?
/trollface
Nothing about this game is like Dead Space except both being in the horror genre.
Lelele thats the point of the comment. plain r/wooosh for you.
4:35 it breaks his spine so he stops struggling and then it carries his limp body away...
That's truly creative
I prefer these kind of deaths over the cliche fall down limp or the same death animation over and over. It keeps players on edge and stuff :p
A
I REALLY agree though then again I also have issues with ragdoll deaths cause of the ragdoll physics causing them to fling into the air and land in the ocean even though I'm a freaking mile away (looking at you ARK)
Of course u do Mandy lmao
Game's atmosphere is perfect, voices, creepy shadowmonsters just made me some nightmares. Just think of... a little guy against a darkness. When he walks in the dark cliffs and bones are hanging, strange noises everywhere, shadows are moving, and he is alone. This is much more scary than some new horrorgames.
The flying shadow was brutal as hell
3:31 that particular death and the sound of it.. that's my nightmare right there.
It's not great.
VORE
Oh hell yes. Those worms terrified me so much.
For real
Reminded me of King Kong!
The cliff worms and underwater things gave me the creeps..
I think the worst one is the cliff worm, he pulls the boy, then you can just see his feet vibrilating...
I like how at the end it just says sarcastically "Rated E for Everyone!"
This was made before E10+ existed, how it didn't get a T is beyond me. :/
Good grief, is this Kenny McCormic: The Game? A little 10 year old suffers...
Being eaten alive
Being disintigrated
Having his back broken
Falling to his death
Being vaporized out existance
Being Incinerated
Drowning
Being vaporized by demonic entities
Being crushed into a pulp
Being Incinerated underwater
Having his skull crushed
Rated E for everyone!
4:40 - Andy: "You call that breaking my spine? You DARK team ladies wouldn't know how to break a spine if-" [loud snapping sound] "AUGHHH! My spine!"
MEET THE FLYING SHADOW
Scout:AAAAAAAAAHHHHH
-Meet The sandvich
those cliff worms scared the crap out of me when I was 8.
Still do.
Damn, those have to be THE most violent deaths in any E rated game I've ever seen.
Aaand now I got reminded why I didn't want to sleep without some sort of night-light at age of 10 for almost half a year.
It's not that clearing the game is impossible, granted that it was hard. It's the afterthought of "what IF?"
4:26 idk about you guys, but this one is the scariest on my opinion
Yep. That one stood out for me too.
I remember that part scaring me as a kid. I didn't play the game for a while after that.
same here, but than i played the game again in a later age and finished it
It was only the beginning so the more you played it the more desensitized you became lol x_x
Indeed. That was quite a brutal kill.
Besides the violence there's also a bong smoking scene where the village chief shows Andy some nude alien drawing. Sounds made up but it's all in there. Amazing game but the rating is weird.
"Aye! WOOH!"
Btw, you missed the funniest death: When you get incinerated on the broken bridge, it shows your shoe falling into another scene shot xD
THAT'S MY FAVORITE DEATH.
I've been meaning to make my own version of this video in higher quality that shows all the deaths. There's a few more not shown here.
LOL you must really love this game huh xD
at this point I'd be confident in saying "more than life itself"
Hahaha I saw you in another vid of the game xD I'm recently getting back into it, haven't played it since childhood!
The deaths in this game are so brutal.
I love it.
Rated E, my ass!
You said it, no way this shit is E rated.
Wingman VoxelBox
True, but with all these gruesome deaths, you might wanna question it.
***** Look at most childrens cartoons :p
emikochan13
true, but still! I'm 21 years old, and I'm STILL afraid of the dark! I sleep with my night lamp on all the time!!!
***** Ain't no shame in that man
How does this game have so much attention to detail on the death of a child? I even mean the kind of subtle details like making the the kid go limp after a while, like when he gets attacked by those mountain worms. He struggles a bit but then they have enough balls to add the detail where he actually dies and stops moving. Gruesome stuff right here.
Proof that rated E doesn't mean it's just for toddlers.
+SoloMael Brain Dead 13 takes it a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitle bit far
YOU KNOW. FOR KIDS! :D
The graphic deaths are explained by the fact that Andy (spoilers) is imagining the whole thing. When you were a kid playing with friends didn't you imagine getting burnt up when the floor was lava or being crushed by rocks from imaginary landslides? Limbo takes the same approach, infact im pretty sure this game inspired that one in a few ways.
apparently in the final scene it shows the servant being tied up at the wreckage of the ship hinting that it wasn't imaginary. But that is just what I was told so I don't know for sure
I can hear Arin screaming.
I can hear Danny laughing
Lmaooo same
This was a kids game? Brutal.
Knowing that you are playing as a young blonde boy being killed in such horrific ways makes me wanna ask, "WHAT THE FU--!?". How can they rate this game E and let alone appropriate for kids? "T" for teen would be more appropriate. This game fucked me up as a kid and I was 9 yo at the time.
He’s ginger lmaoo
This game made it difficult for me to sleep when I was younger.
Back when Ratings were all over the place.
Lol true I remember this T rated space game I got as a kid the game was so sexual it should have been rated M, still enjoyed it though XD
I remember playing this when it came out. Now I know why I'm so twisted as an adult...
yeah it surely was the game
I wish they had more games with various deaths like this X/
Play Baldi and die with all 7 notebooks. It will show you half the number 99, then a loud noise, and the game will crash.
ok sadist.
I bought Mortal Kombat just for fatalities
@@alfonshedstrom9859 it ain't sadism, it's respect for the amount of depth and effort they put into the game genius....
The animations are pretty killer.
As a kid I used to get nightmares about the part in the first Babar book where the elephant dies from a poisoned mushroom - and that wasn't even violent at all.
I can't imagine how I would have reacted to this game.
I think Damion is talking about the relationship of predator and prey. The idea of a hunter finding it's quarry, giving chase, and delivering the fatal blow for a meal seams natural.
This game scared the shit out of me so much I got my parents to return it for something else.
... Talk about an E rated game. ._.
I always found this game terribly creepy when I was a kid, especially the death scenes and the shadow creatures themselves. I mean even if they don't show blood, they're still brutal in some way, in particular the death scene when the protagonist is being eaten alive by the big shadow monster at 4:26 , you can hear the sound of his skull being crashed in the jaws of that monster, it's definitely unsettling! Haha
One of the most unnerving things about the deaths in this game is the lack of any fanfare or music when you die(most of the time). It turns it into a sort of twisted nature show where you realize just how much of a pitiful, hopeless pray you are for all these freaky predators.
The shittiest part of that last death is that the Shadow Captain doesn't even chew him up. He's still alive in there...
BS on Shadow Captain 2 that's not a death, that's when you get your plasma gun backand explode him from inside out
Which should have been included in this list, IMO...it is a gruesome death afterall. Just not the main character.
The neck and back breaks man, still disturbs me today.
I remember renting this game when I was like 5 at the video store and couldn't get past 10 minutes in past the shadow monsters.
I seriously wonder if the devs of this game look up these videos and at these comments to take in all the nightmares they caused.
If so and any of you are out there,
I would just like to ask...
Why?
Because someone like me enjoys it...
5:54
Reminds me of "The Raft" Story from Creepshow 2. >_<
The leg being stretched up like that.
Cupcom5 Sorry I meant 5:52. you see all of the death scene
Matching Game: E For Everyone. ABC Kids: Rated E For Everyone.
BEING EATEN ALIVE BY SHADOW MONSTERS THAT BREAK YOUR BACK AND TEAR CHUNKS OF FLESH FROM YOUR CHEST!!! Rated E For Everyone.
You are assuming that the clueless berks at the ESRB actually play the games they're supposed to rate instead of merely looking at the cover (and more recently, read some misinformed articles on the internet). You have a surprising amount of faith in these people's professionality.
@@davidkyo1985 I feel like the title heart of darkness should be enough to determine what type of game it is
Those wall worms are the worst. You can actually hear Andy's skull being crushed when he gets dragged into their burrows....
now imagine if someone ramped up the brutalness by releasing a "Brutal Heart of Darkness" mod
Next time somebody complains about video games being too violent nowadays, send them this video.
E for Everyone lol
4:30 wtf he's elastic xD
Ya cállate imbécil
just a comment - the detail of the death scenes mostly comes because the game is designed by the guys behind Flashback and Another World, and Another World had also detail death animations for every disaster that happened to the main guy. Was kind of a feature.
That game gave me nightmares back when i was a kid!
4:27 Rancor?
The developers sure have strange fetishes...
Omg, remember that I watch my brother play this game and 4:26 fucked me up totally! I've been thinking about that scene from time to time until now when I found this video. Holy shit, I finally found the name of this game, I can't believe it! :D
3mma It's just so gruesome! you can hear the crunching!
I can't stop repeating it for some creepy reason...... -_-
The underwater plants freaked me out as a kid.
3mma Always found 3:30 a lot more disturbing as a 10 year old.
Something strangely cathartic about recovering a previously witnessed morbid experience; when a large part of what makes the experience so uncanny isn't necessarily the experience itself, but how obscure the memory of it has become with age. It just sits in the latent mind, festering, with no way to confirm or contradict the details...until you find it twelve years later on RUclips.
+3mma That *crunch* sound >_
cliff worm 5 is pretty nasty 3:30
Tried so hard to find this game, since I could'nt remember the title. I remember playing this when I was very young and that I would always remember that scene where this innocent child left alone in this grim world would be eaten whole by that shadow. I had so many nightmares after that...
o_0 mother of god
Man.. I need to replay this, never had the backbone to finish this.
Some of these deaths are more visceral and upsetting than the most violent and gory R-rated games. A Mortal Kombat fatality is so over the top that it's more fun than it is disturbing, but hearing the crunch of the kid's neck snap and seeing his legs go limp, or watching his lifeless body spasm under the claws of the shadow creature tearing into his ribcage, are subtler and leave just enough to the imagination to hit closer to home.
For a kid this game had some dark deaths
How the hell did I never hear of this gem.
It feels like that other game... what was it called?
Another world. Feels just like it.
Of course, because it was supervised by Eric Chahi!
Oh, this old-fashioned nostalgia ...
thank you very much, - it's amazing. I was again left without a word.
The horror! The horror!
Those god damn shadow monsters plagued my nightmares for a very long time as a kid but I still loved playing the game lmfao
Poor kid...
I got a demo of this game in my cereal box when I was about five years old and I couldn’t sleep for months.
20 years later and this shit still disturbs the fuck out of me.
i remember being 6-7 and having this game, the 1st 5mins were awesome, but the first time i died(which was getting eaten by the shadow captain) i was frozen in terror and didnt sleep for nearly a week...i eventually kept playing the game, becoming gradually obsessed with the deaths till the day came that i would repeatedly watch andy get eaten by the swamp monster...i think its safe to say this game fucked my childhood lol
He got his fkin spine crushed and it’s rated E
That 4:38...
WHAT
the studio like, I want those animations of an 8 year old's neck getting broke on my desk by *tomorrow*
Kid should have stayed in class.
Shouldn't have gone after his dog
Some of these are absolutely brutal. That last cliff worm one was nasty. So is Shadow Captain.
Wow, I have actually experienced EVERY death in this game when I played it as a kid.
I had no idea how gorgeus this game looks, even by todays standard. The animation is really fluid and the design is pure awesomeness. I must get this game again!
JESUS, cliff worm 5 at 3:35 is creepy. Not that the other ones weren't, but seeing him struggle, go rigid, and then limp just really unhinged me O.o
Always that one shoe
BTW, the real time shadows are amazing for PS1, how they stretch and pull on the image to make it look like a modern shadow technique.
E for everyone! :D
I played it when I was a child. The shadow king was scaring me but I played the only demo and I always wanted to play more. I loved That game I was Like 6-7 years old
In the intro, this kid looks at the fucking sun through a telescope. Won't forget that.
all this for a damn dog. i wouldve just gotten a new one.
lol
good to see the people that rated this game are just SO attentive.
And that's how vore came to be.
The more you know.
+John Pablo
*Rainbow star shoots past*
+John Pablo Wait, THIS game jumpstarted people's vore fetish?
+John Pablo One of the ways [innocent eye roll]
The cave plant, sucker and tentacles are my particular favorites.
+WeaponXSigma
Part of it, i also watched a few cartoons that did their part.
For more anime-inclined people, I'd suggest Cell from Dragon Ball Z. Even if not the vore genre, the tail vore subgenre... Kinda explains my vore fetish tbh.
Gotta say, that flying shadow and the cave worm were my favorites...
Move over, Brain Dead!
We got a new competitor!
brain dead 13 has blood and guts and bones visible though. (all cartoony mind you) Andy just stretches like silly putty.
Lol that is true.
oh look, it's the game that made me desensitized to violence
I finally found it! :O
This game gave me nightmares and anxiety as a kid! I was only like 5 or 6 at the time and I was terrified! Mostly by those shadow monsters.
That kid's death sound clip haunted me for a long time.
I could never remember what the game was called. >.
To me the cruesome deaths, in part, made me more or less attached to the character, for these deaths were something to truly be avoided - not because of me being horrified by it, but for the sake of Andy.
To me, there was also a little bit of escapism in Heart of Darkness: I was bullied at school for years at elementary, and I found myself identified with Andy, this brave boy with constant hardships.
So for me, there really was a therapeutic dimension in Heart of Darkness.
They call THIS E for "everyone".
D: That's child abuse.
I had a trauma for this in my childhood =( hahahaha
+Emily Kearns
Oh grow up you silly Pikachu :3
that's what atheist game's looks like
i like how during drowning his hat still falls neatly on his head
