- I LOVE THIS GAME! Anemoiapolis is a Liminal Space horror game and it's FANTASTIC! Liminal spaces are kind of like going out of bounds in real life, they are very unnerving but also kind of calming places. I really loved the pacing of this game, it started being calm, then creepy, then absolutely TERRIFYING. I hope you enjoy! Much love and see you during the streams :D

I love this game so much. The pacing is incredible, it started so cool and calm, and it ended in one of the most terrifying sections I've ever played. I hope you enjoy!
Yes
I actually like watching these videos, I feel a lot of this is faked enthusiasm. " sees a fork in game" insym " oh wow! Its a fork! Can I pick it up?! HOLY SHIT I CAN! thanks for tuning in guys. Tomorrow I might try to pick up a spoon
@@user-xj8nd7wq5o that's called humor. HIS HUMOR. You can also see chat enjoys it as well.
Thanks for playing ❤❤
It reminds me of the backrooms
It’s actually 40 minutes of Insym talking about his love for swimming and swimming pools. Lol
Swimming & pools are cool. Ha. Rymes.
and im here for it
At the risk of turning this academic, liminal spaces can be subjective where one person will feel more unsettled while another person will feel greater nostalgia. There are little things in this game that try to bring out both feelings. For instance, the slides are wonderful but the weird deep swimming pool with a platform that goes only halfway to the bottom makes me think of getting stuck underneath it and drowning. Also the "ghost" in the shower room making shower noises invokes an unease I felt in locker rooms knowing that someone else was there where I felt vulnerable. The character is getting away from the shower sound the way I would try to find a shower stall furthest from other people. This dev did their homework!
This game is so immersive that I can smell the chlorine.
There was something about the setting that made it so good. the sublte unsettling feeling of being in a public place where no-one else was really made it feel Special 10/10
All the scares in the video:
18:10 - Ghost is standing on the water
20:54 - Ghost near the pool
23:14 - Ghost in the corridor
24:40 - Ghost is flying
26:15 - Ghost under the water
33:20 - Ghost is taking a shower then going for a visit to bully insym
33:33 - Ghost starts to bully insym
33:50 - Darkness is following insym and then a ghost appears to bully
34:42 - Keep moving
34:54 - The lockers are opening
40:48 - The ghost forgot to disappear
41:12 - Breathing and footsteps sound
you're a life saver 🙏
Are you sure that is a "ghost"?
@@DMXIII It did all of its ghost events in shadow form
@@DMXIII How do you think a person will call a person who is flying and appearing for a 1 second.
@@darlyn1194 I know, I was just kidding, but the truth is that in the previous version "it" was a monster, but now it's confusing hahaha
This was both a feeling of absolute terror of pools as well as a nostalgia trip. Loved every moment of it.
Like people say "This was the scariest moment in a video game" a lot. But in this case, I completely agree. When the man was slowly walking out of the dark, that was so simple but I felt so, so... unsafe?
It's eerie when you are seemingly the only one in the area, but then you hear showers and lockers opening, while this darkness comes closer as this thing comes through the wall slowly.
Who else has just come here from watching Insym play the full release of this game only to discover that it was a huge disappointment? This was the experience we all wanted and expected. It was fantastic. Watching him not have to deal with that absolute immersion breaking ticket system and instead just enjoy a seamless experience was so much fun. And the shadow that was much more ever present stalking him the whole time added some nice terror.
I never saw this video until AFTER I had watched his full release playthrough and I am so glad I came back to it as he strongly suggested. This is the real game, folks, short as it is. I really hope the developer takes the huge amounts of criticisms regarding the terrible decision to add those tickets to heart and ditches it completely in Chapter 2. Or maybe even find some way to fix it in Chapter 1. Regardless, he has a lot of disappointed fans right now.
Yeah I do see his point
the new mall place is just lacking in general it doesn't have much detail (I mean it is a liminal space but I mean the quality)
Also wtf is the point of having tickets I hate the idea of that bc they shouldn't really exist and are unnecessary
Also here from after the full release:
I also found the entire mall structure with the elevators to also be immersion breaking. It felt more like game levels than this awful inexplicable maze you'd absolutely hate to explore but have to. Using the mall as a central hub could work, but I don't know, execution is just not quite there and the levels just felt too isolated to make the whole thing work
The pool area was so incredibly well done, I was so disappointed by the other areas and the forced structure to the game, glad I came back to see this :)
Agreed!
Every youtuber so far has reacted similarly to the changes, and it's way better to go back into beta gameplay. It's truly awful that the developer felt pressured enough by Steam policy to ruin their own game like this. I hope chapter 2 implements the suggested (better/original) changes.
I saw both gameplays of Anemoiapolis today, Demo was better than original.
This game showcases every people's fear I guess.
Isolation, being alone, a shadow chasing you. Areas that usually are cheerful are abandoned and are mazes, retail spaces and stores in pristine condition yet empty...etc..etc..
This game makes me really sad on some level, because as a kid I was never allowed to go to those swimming parks, etc. Then as a teen I had germaphobia/bacteriaphobia REALLY bad, so I couldn't really go anywhere without a fear of contracting something lol! And now as an adult I have no clue where I'd go, nor do I know if there is any place where it'd be acceptable for an adult to go since all the times I've ever heard of are meant pretty much only for kids.
I adore this game, because it let me live my fantasy of wanting to swim and have innocent fun, but also sad because I never got to have that.
All in all, thank you for playing this; it was an absolute treat and watching you have a blast re-living truly good and fun memories made me have fun with you and feel as if I was there too in a way. I hope that makes sense. xD
Stay safe :)
Whew, the switch from casual swimming pool reminiscence to absolute abject terror in this one is incredible
Hey insym, congrats on 400K! I’ve been here since like less than 100K and u have improved so so so much. Well done you deserve every sub!
ive been here with him since about 250k-ish
I was also here when he had less than 100k. They grow up so fast :,)
So much better than what the full release ended up being
I'll Always come back to watch this video
A friendly note to everyone who might be seeking shelter in the comment section:
There are *_no_* jumpscares on this one, folks!
Edit: I mean, there's a chance that 3:25 startles you a bit, but overall you're good
Thankyou, I am such a scary cat.. I hate jumpscares even if they aren't scary
The game that makes you afraid of emptiness and at the same time of something. This game is beautiful and disturbing!
Anemoia - Nostalgia for a time you've never known.
Am I the only one who's had dreams like this?
I've never really been chased in any of them, more so just lost. Wandering around. Endless corridors of swimming pools and wet areas.
I don't fucking know why this is such a common thing
i probably aughed harder than ever when u said " we are looping the existential dread"
it’s absolutely amazing how a game can take you on a nostalgia trip. I enjoyed this video, especially the stories you told us about your love for swimming pools!
I had a really bad fever and strep throat this past weekend, and I watched this stream while I was in and out of sleep. I swear I can't remember which parts were my fever dreams or the actual game, but I enjoyed this either way. Hopefully I can catch more of the game this time around. :)
Get well soon brotha!!
@@izzry_ thanks man I appreciate that
Oh man, this game has some great spooky atmosphere! I’ve always been pretty spooked by pools so that makes it even scarier
Stopppp I love this game!! I haven't even gotten to the spooky part, but this is so cool to watch and unlocks so many memories! The buckets at 16:18 remind me so much of my friends and I being at the pool for hours and trying to stand under the bucket that was gonna drop water next, such good times wth
Insym's comment about old people under waterfalls brought back childhood swimming pool memories I had forgotten. Did exactly the same thing as a kid and the old people sitting there gave me this look as I ran away lol
The mall part make it feel like one of those dead mall RUclips channels of guys recording the inside of malls that are deserted
Rewatching this after playing the full game. I still liked **most** of that, but this is such a better paced and tightly wound package of goodness. I really missed the beginning narration in the full game as well, I thought it gave some nice context and the voiceacting was pretty good.
this video is such a comforting video, honestly insym all of your videos are, but this ones my new favorite of yours. i now come to this video when im having a rough or stressful day and this video just helps cheer me up!!! like today, it was a bad day, but here i am rewatching the video and feeling better!! thanks so much insym i love your videos!
This game was so intense to play! Super immersive
I Love this game, I’m so glad it’s getting more traction
This hit me with just a different type of nostalgia at the same time. Looking forward to the rest of the game!
I love the way you play games. You notice and comment on a lot of things which makes the video so much better. Ive seen people play this game but your one really did it justice.
Can't wait for more games like this with liminal spaces. Imagine a full backrooms game with a bunch of levels on this level of quality, man that's exciting.
Public swimming pool map in phasmophobia just like this, thanks. Imagine you can hide under water for a period of time while holding yuor breath. If you're out of breath you just pop up at the surface or if you move underwater the ghost can just pull you out of it. I'm down for that.
i swear i had a dream recently of a public pool space that looks similar to this. Weird layout, but somehow make sense, strangely spacious. Not entirely indoor like this one but the color scheme sure was similar, pastel yellow and sky blue
Oh my... that shower part... no jump scares, just oniums sounds and darkness that follows. That was creepy as fuck. When Insym screamed, I didn't now what happened until it happened.
Wachting Insym play this game live in his Stream, watching the RUclips video, seeing playing him the release of the first chapter and coming back here again. I'm kinda dissapointed at how the game turned out to be since this Demo is absolutly amazing. So Yeah, I find the Demo way better than the released game which is kinda sad to be honest.
Insym at a water park is something I never knew I needed
true
As you can see , insym gettin more scared by time to the time , that's what i feelin on real life , it's like something was really familiar with us , but our brain just make it worse
that was so atmospheric! can't wait to see the rest. what a great example of how to do horror without jumpscares
watching insym's backrooms playlist where he talks about this game in almost every video, and then watching this after and seeing insym get super hyped for the first time after not knowing what it is was super fun! insym, i think maybe you should take a vacation and go swimming. maybe not now, since it's winter, but you know.
400k!! You're so talented and entertaining, you deserve all of the success! Thank you for the games, Insym.
INSYMMM. CONGRATS ON THE 400K+ SUBS!
SO PROUD OF YOU.
That was such a crazy experience! Really goes to show how playing blind is so worth.
The fact that it was 35 minutes of ooh and ahh and then suddenly you're actually in danger, when you thought you were safe. So good!
Reminds me of a fallout shelter. Like someone built the place expecting the apocalypse to happen and it can house an entire town complete with entertainment.
I remember my school didn't start taking kids swimming for PE until we were in the last year of primary school (10-11 years old). Now, it was shocking to me and maybe 5 others how few of them could swim.
We were split up into 3 groups: A small group that had never swum EVER, almost everyone else: had been paddling and could swim enough and then this weird elite group that I was in with half a dozen other kids that worked on lifesaving skills.
In hindsight I'm glad they did it because I hear of far too many people that are afraid or can't swim at all.... and being the UK and ESPECIALLY being a costal town with one of the largest tidal ranges globally, and it scares me the number of people going paddling that can't actually swim.
My family has always had the ethos that a child is in water no later than 12 months old. By the time I was turning 4 I was swimming completely unaided, just needed to practise on form and stamina. It's literally a life-saving skill just to learn the basics and have an understanding of what to do in emergency situations (also a thing that got taught. Along with swimming fully clothed. Which sucks)
13:45 THAT"S ABSOLUTELY TRUE even in Poland haha, you're going under it and almost die like from bullets
I really like this game. It, along with other "liminal" imagery like old Chuck E. Cheeses, old, nearly abandoned malls, and the like, invokes that familiarity feeling... but it also makes me feel a bit melancholic -- like this is a part of a memory from my childhood, of a time long since passed that I will never be able to revisit. I love the feeling of familiarity, of the memories it brings back, and that is why I love this kind of artwork, and by extension this game.
The imagination of Insym swimming in the shower will forever be branded into my brain xD
This is the single most relaxating ''horror game'' ever.
As much as I loved watching you play this and how incredibly scared you got, I almost wish I didn't cause its so damn cool! The lighting and audio is absolutely insane. Can't wait to play it when it updates. I'll watch your vid after, and it'll be fun to know when you're about to get scared shitless.
Keep having fun with your vids, thanks man.
I'm unsure why but the way the water looks makes me stressed and freaked tf out
Finally, a game I can use to describe my dreams to friends. >50% of them are this shower scene.
5:50 the puzzle makes sounds that are just like the damage puzzle sounds in inscryption.
Listening to your stories about hotels and lazy river, like, did we all just have the same childhood? Lmao. Love your videos, Insym! Especially the Indie horror games that I'm too scared to play myself! You're always so much fun to watch! Can't wait for more!
'Where am I supposed to go?' Walks past exit sign
our swimhall has a lazy river outside heated and with some currents and caves its amazing
This game looks so cool. The water is rendered so nicely too!
The waterpark/lazy river section genuinely felt like something in my dreams. We have this indoor waterpark franchise in the states, Great Wolf Lodge, and sometimes it appears in my dreams. it's odd haha
CJ liking the ghost floating towards you is hilarious to me.
Congrats on 400k subs Insym!!!! ❤
horror games wild with these names
even tho it’s a horror game, this was actually really calming and brought back some core memories. loved it!
Everytime you talk about the experiences you had from swimming parks, the only thing I can think about is 'Center Parcs' :) To be fair I think you are actually talking about one of them ;)
Spooky ghosts aside, I would love to be in a place like that irl. So many awesome pools I could swim to my heart's content.
I know I write this 5min in, but I have to do it.
Rewireing is actually a thing that I have done to open a gate.
I used to work as electrican for automation plants and one time when working at germany I and my collegaues had to open a gate to pass our car. I found out that the panel wasn´t locked and overwrote all security by pressing the relais to open and then close the fence. Noone said anything, so I kept on doing it for 5 day, after that the company ( a concrete processing plant ) gave us a key and locked the panel hard c: . It had no consequences, since it was compleatly legal to do what I did, just tired workers leaving for dinner/sleep.
The bosses even saw no problem with it, it surely is in my top 5 of good places where I installed machines (now I study)
A lot of the things in here remind me so much of Great Wolf Lodge! I plan to go back sometime and now I'll just think of this game, lol. The graphics and lighting were FANTASTIC!
A haunted abandoned pool would be a great Phasmophobia level
This was absolutely one of my favorite videos
I like liminal space it’s really fascination, I just really like to look at it this does remind me of my childhood like parties, playground and pools. Just see it in empty places just bring back memories.
reminds me of a nightmare i had when i was like 10 or 11. it was very similar to this, like it was all pools and tiles. there was something in the water only i seemed to see, but whenever it got close to me, it suddenly would disturb everyone else. it would like violently rush the water. and i would tell my mom and she brushed me off, and i was jumpy about everything but nothing was actually it until i got in the water.
wait maybe this is why im scared of bodies of water now…….
Thanks for Showing us a New games Insym , And I Would love to by this new game. Thanks Insym for helping out with new games.
This would be my kinda water park, no sunburns no worry about storms (I live in Florida it's everyday here) or worry about cold days
So now I'm in a serious dilemma.
Play by myself and have a great time when more stuff comes out or watch Insym get freaked out...what to do, what to do...
Can't wait to see more of this game it looks good. Also have you played don't be afraid I just started playing it and I think it be cool one to see you play.
Congrats for 400k 😊
33:33 SCP 106 has breached containment
Damn, that was cool. Love the pool anecdotes lol.
WOO! 400K SUBS!!! CONGRATS INSYM!
Aw its sweet this brought you through a nice memory lane. Aww. And I know when the spooky part happens, I'm still watching lol
This was great! Can't wait for the full game!
Has Insym played Amnesia: The Dark Descent? If he liked the atmospheric dark area in this game he would love playing Amnesia
Indie games nowadays look insane, I dont understand how they made all the water reflexions look so realistic, it feels like a real freaking indoor pool
My phobia for deep water made me paper white at the beginning xd
I really love this game and have been interested in it since the beginning and it is AWESOME to see you play this! 😄
I'm terrified of swimming pools, so this game is absolutely horrifying to me 😱
The whole swimming pool place strikes your desires and dreams even harder after Rona. 😅
Since I can't swim, I'll instantly die on the first scene if it happened to me IRL lol
This video should be titled nostalgia with insym XD
The school swimming days were amazing
Love this video! Also i would love to see insym playing SOMA! it's a really good horror game with great atmosphere, plot and characters
Happy 400k! Whoooo! always wanting to see u play more scary games🥳
You should really try the horror game Trenches, it’s a pretty new amazing game about the horrors of living in a trench during a war
I did not like that game when I played it. So I didn't finish nor upload it
As someone who is terrified of deep, dark water, I think exploring the pools scared me more than anything else LOL
The indoor pool liminal spaces are the best!
Seems like the game got that right.
Been here since you started, am amazed how well you've done for yourself
actually, if they were inside of a closet for recording it probably wouldn't be like that, I am an indie dev and one time I was working with a professional game va and her home studio was putting mattresses in front of her closet and recording inside it, that is literally how she recorded stuff for big companies like EA lmao
fun fact I guess
Fck yeah new video lets go
I absolutely love all your videos, you're my comforting streamer, thank you for your work! 💞💞💞
This was like 3/4 almost boring and then the last 1/4 is absolutely horrifying. Hell no.
I haven't felt so unsettling watching a video game for a long time!!
