there is NO way that i literally was JUST playing it the other day and was trying to break out of the boundaries for kicks and giggles and saw some girl in a cage and NOW one of my favorite youtubers is covering what felt like a real life creepypasta for me literally perfect timing on this one oh my god lmao

I loved this, I've never played DTI but this whole story remind me of dark theories from 2000s games like satanic rituals in Bully, big foot in GTA, etc. It's a nice feeling seeing something like this in a modern game
This arg proves I wouldn’t survive in a horror movie because I have never noticed any Lana duplicates or any flesh room or any of this horror stuff lol
as a non-roblox-player who just became aware of dress to impress thru a dan & phil video… the whiplash i’m getting learning there’s a whole ass horror arg in this cutesy lil game? i’m sorry a MEAT ROOM??
As someone who knows next to nothing about Roblox and a lot about Greek mythology, I can confirm that I saw that coming. The minute you said Agamemnon I was like "oh they're bringing Greek mythology into this?" 😂
I like how Izzy is saying that some of the things are just their headcanon instead of it actually being the story because most youtubers who do videos like these usually say things like they are facts even though it was their own interpretation
Yeah I really hate analysis or theorycrafting where they take deliberately vague works and treat their own interpretations as 'What the creator was doing all along'. Because it always gets to be a huge fight when stuff like that gets debunked bc of how many people thought it was authorial intent and not just a youtuber theory iykyk
@@tarotsushima3332it’s the history of literature analysis/classes to be fair lol. People assuming crazy theories/ideologies as what the author meant is as old as time
It's worth noting that in some telling of Agamemnon's sacrifice of Iphigenia, rather than killing her Artemis comes and saves her, switching her out for a deer (Artemis being the goddess he pissed off and was making the sacrifice to). So that seems to suggest there will be a way to save Lana.
I really, REALLY did not expect for such game to have any REAL hidden creepy lore AND especially intended by the devs. Kinda surprising how its still not super popular
i have so much respect for the dti team :) executing a weird little horror story in a childrens game and not dialing back the horror or softening it. i hope this arg gets a new generation of kids hooked on horror and args
Babe youve been standing for videos this whole time???? Thats crazy. Literally do not use your energy on that, please please please sit while you entertain us for hours.
Nah, I bet Agamemnon just wants to dress up in pretty clothes, so he is trying to build a portal into the game. He also wants to slay in pink frilly miniskirts and high heels😔
As a Brazilian the fact that you brought up the definition of the word saudade makes me really happy, I've seen someone else talk about this ARG and they never mention that
At one point during this I was expecting it to be that she was stealing people's body parts to replace hers because she's still sick. Which would be cool but this is neat too.
my narrative plot twist idea is that the flesh-monster-robot is what remains of the Real Lana, and every other Lana we see (even the one in the skirt) is a clone
I was literally playing dti the other day and accidentally ended up in the basement and I was so confused 💀 this vid came out at the perfect time honestly
I actually like that its so convoluted with many unexplained bits of lore. It makes it feel more mysterious to me. I think its totally possible for the creators to expand on those in the future! Plus, it gives more room for fams to speculate and come up with theories. (Im also the kind of guy who just really loves that style of complicated storytelling though, so personal taste.) I think its totally possible we could get plot twists or new information revealed on the unexplained mysteries. Just because a character is dead, doesnt mean they cant have an impact on the story. I love stories that start out with a character dying and the reader being thrust into a confusing situation, only to find out the backstory of the deceased and have it slowly fall into place. Also, ideas about flesh robot: 1. Could be a machine with flesh as some of its parts. A gear is a gear whether its made of steel, iron, or wood. I can totally imagine a contraption that incorporates human tendons to control its movement and lumps of flesh as a protective outer casing. The big question is: Why did he choose this material over others, especially when its so costly to maintain? Perhaps he made the monster in order not to waste the excess parts of his victims, since the only part he himself seems to need is the soul. Maybe he needs so many souls, the flesh just kinda piled up and he was like "ok how can i use this... i know! flesh robot!" #resourcefulqueen 2. I can see a few ways having the monster as an ally would be advantageous to him. He might use it because it has more raw power than he currently possesses, or because it can allow him to operate in two separate places at once. Maybe the monster is another required part of the ritual he wants to undertake. Side note - was I the only one who kinda got trans vibes? The writing in the wall saying he wants to discard his body really reminded me of gender dysphoria. I wouldnt want that to ever be confirmed by the creators bc itd be super problematic, but as a trans person myself, I kind of feel seen by this headcanon.
It makes me incredibly happy to see that there are still kids making incredibly earnest, in depth stories on Roblox. I ran an ancient Greek horror role play group that mostly focused on the forums (this was WAY long ago when Roblox still had those, 2010 I think) and it was such a blast. It makes me feel like my childhood never ended, it just got passed on.
Between the hair salon and makeup area you can see a messy shelf. Walk into it and you will find yourself in an underground area where the real Lana is locked up in a cage and a bunch of writing on the walls
when they made that reference to FNaF i was just thinking "yeah that tracks." this ARG matches FNaF in its extremely convoluted storytelling and obscure easter eggs lol, makes total sense the creators of dti are fans of that series.
For everyone that's interested, all the secret rooms mentioned in the video (meat room and the portal room in the lobby) have been locked off, meaning no one can access them, but you can still go to the portrait of the former nail tech- Lana- with the red monster behind her in free play mode
Can I just point out that according to their profile, the creator of this game and ARG is a SIXTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL!? WHAT!?! I'm so happy to see not only young creators but young WOMEN creators out here making names for themselves. I'm not a roblox player, because I am almost 40 years old, but I am amazed with how much KIDS are able to make on that site. Absolutely astonishing.
Kids arent really making that much, they get a paltry amount while the big wigs behind Roblox rake in the dough. Its honestly disgusting and young kids should be spending their time in other games that dont exploit them for free labor
@@SamoyedSagas pretty sure they meant much how much content, not how much money. And while I have a lot of problems with roblox, players being able to make content is how sandbox games work. Minecraft is similar.
with the creature needing to be fed so it doesn't starve, maybe 'being fed' just refers to the monster using flesh for power? it's 'starving' could be not having enough power to turned on, or atleast be strong enough
I was thinking the same about mine, I've never technically heard her talk about DTI but she used to love dragging me into playing Fashion Famous with her whenever I visited so I wouldn't be surpised if she plays this too
I’m not sure if this is related, but I think motoprincess’s username was based on a song from a TripleS. TripleS is a k-pop group one of the creators is a stan of. The song is about someone running away from their sadness with lyrics like “show me more clues of the future”, and “do you think about me too?” which I think hints at the person running away and going missing with the lead of someone else. It can also be interpreted as someone looking for someone, either looking for them, or even running away to find them. I think the story of Lana is based on this song, because it fits her story perfectly. It’s a bit of a reach, but it’s possible.
On the official discord, Gigi also said Dress To Impress was inspired by LE SSERAFIM’s song Eve, Psyche and the Bluebeard’s Wife from the lyric “Fearless, say yes, we don't dress to impress”
Back in what I remember as 2017-2019 Roblox, Roblox myths were a huge thing in the community. I love devs keeping the tradition alive of scaring children and making stories.
NOW I CAN FINALLY UNDERSTAND THE MELLY VUONG DTI ANIMATION 😭😭😭😭😭 all the comments were like "omg she knows the lana lore" but NO ONE EXPLAINED ANYTHING ABOUT IT
Please do an sequel to this video, I want to learn more about the lore now that there’s been an update but I dont want to learn it directly, I want to specifically learn it second hand through your videos LOL
I never fully got the dti lana lore but now watching this it is giving old roblox myths. This story and stuff is exactly what old roblox myth groups used to do and I hope because of dti all that stuff will make a comeback it was so good
this story is completely insane and incomprehensible but it makes me so happy that its teenagers creating complex and interesting stories, involving others, and being creative and expressive. what a bunch of badasses
i love how they just make videos for literally EVERYONE like i just realized how like safe this community feels and like the little judgement there is on these niche subjects(only seen yt community correct me if im wrong)
This was so cool! And this was made by *teenagers?* That's insane and I'm so, so impressed! I love subtle ARGs like this. Like, the fact that someone could play Dress to Impress and never encounter the horror shit is so fascinating to me. It really does make it feel like a labour of love, the developers putting so much effort into something people might never even notice.
I know this is kind of a sign of how low the bar is, but honestly massive shout out to Izzy for properly criticizing media made by young people without mocking them. A lotta people online seem unable to acknowledge that there are story flaws and plot holes in a story written by a teenager WHILE ALSO being compassionate and encouraging, so it was genuinely refreshing to me that Izzy gave ACTUAL constructive criticism
And here I just thought the game was glitching because I have a janky rural internet connection This is why I can't be a protagonist in an EXE Creepypasta.
physically screamed when i saw this OH MY GOD IZZY GOES OVER THE DTI LORE?????? I'VE BEEN INTO THIS SINCE LAST MONTH OMG I BASICALLY KNOW ALMOST EVERYTHING 😭💔 dti obsessed rn
Its so funny to me that the developer clearly wanted to put in all these elements to get people interested in the arg, only for so much of the playerbase to seemingly go "not interested, thanks, i just want to dress up"
I'm just imagining someone who just plays it for the dressup game, has no idea about the ARG, and then one day the nail salon worker gets replaced in the game and everyone loses their mind. XD
First off: this is so hilarious as a spinoff of Dress to Impress of all things! I don't know if you will see this but: something that might help you tie more stuff together is the TTRPG/videogames Vampire the Masquerade (VTM). It came out in the early 2000s and is peak that-era edginess. What stuck out to me is that your adventuring party is called a Coterie and the plot often revolves around coterie members having hidden motives. Then, a "herd" is another term in the series! A group who offer their blood to a powerful vampire. The theme colours are soooo red and black as well. This series does the whole "biblical character Cain is the first vampire" and a lot of Greek and other myths come into things. Helen of Troy is a vampire in the series lmao - Agamemnon's name coming from the same myth. The body parts stuff feels like an offshoot of Clan Tzimisce from VTM, a clan of evil vampires who are flesh crafting warlocks basically. I feel like the creators of the ARG might be fans of VTM at least? Might be a longshot but might also tie some of the more confusing stuff together 😂
I love this! Its definitely got babies first ARG vibes as it is a bit convoluted and over the top with the violence. But the fact ARGs have become so popular a group of teen devs on roblox decided to give it a go? I think thats awesome! Its also so cool this is probably a lot of kids first expierence with an arg, i hope it leads to those kids taking part in and making their own projects in the future too! I'll definitely tune in if you decide to make a part two to this, im invested now.

As someone with a chronic disease, I will now be avoiding any salon jobs run by some gigi person for the rest of my life
I absolutely did not notice that you were standing in every video before this. I have always assumed that you were sitting down.
this
same
Me too, so please do whatever is comfortable for you! Take care of yourself
“Did that same thing happen to everyone on the missing posters?”
“Yass!”
there is NO way that i literally was JUST playing it the other day and was trying to break out of the boundaries for kicks and giggles and saw some girl in a cage and NOW one of my favorite youtubers is covering what felt like a real life creepypasta for me
literally perfect timing on this one oh my god lmao
Behind the shelf between the hair dressing things and makeup booths right? I use that area behind to take photos cause the lighting is super cool 😭
@@alabamaslammer3921 DUDE i didn't even find it like intended LMAO. i saw someone jumping outside of the windows and thought it was funny so i tried to do it myself and found out that the boundaries are super easy to break and had some fun with it. found the fleshy monster pic first and was so confused but shrugged it off as like some fun boundary break easter egg and then accidentally fell down into the cage room and was absolutely flabbergasted.
fun fact i actually found where they test items. its really easy to break the boundaries with a little bit of elbow grease and i never would've found this stuff if it wasn't for me being incredibly bored during freeplay mode one day lol
@@alabamaslammer3921 DUDE i didn't even find it like. as it was intended to be found....
i was like, really really bored one day and saw someone jumping out the windows. and i thought it looked silly and fun so i tried to figure out how to do it. and it turns out its *incredibly* easy with a little bit of elbow grease. and _then_ i found the fleshy monster but like, i just shrugged it off as a creepy out-of-bounds easter egg.... but THEN i fell through the floor and ended up STARING AT A GIRL IN A CAGE IN A CREEPY ROOM and i was so floored... i was so confused about it and thought i found a real creepypasta...
also fun fact i found where i think they test items? its behind the building. took some cool screenshots back there
@@heyitstyyyy oh wait that's sick!! It sounds like such an experience finding it by accident that way imagine doing it without any idea of the lore of dti lol
@@alabamaslammer3921 oh absolutely! i had no background other than "this is a fashion game i've vaguely heard about", since i'm not on tiktok or anything. the only reason i even found out about all this was by complete chance and i think that's honestly hilarious? funniest way to find out about it.
if it wasn't for Random DTI Player #5 i would've never even thought twice about trying to find anything or mess around with it. so props to whoever was jumping outside of the window that day in the freeplay mode
"You are full of lies. I am laughing" is my new catchphrase
Just love the transition of names from Lana, Nellie Randy, then suddenly *AGAMEMNON*
I loved this, I've never played DTI but this whole story remind me of dark theories from 2000s games like satanic rituals in Bully, big foot in GTA, etc. It's a nice feeling seeing something like this in a modern game
if you think about it, arg in games are just those "dark secrets in video games" that is actually there
Every time somebody mentions Bully other than me it feels like a jumpscare
Bully had satanic rituals??
Obligatory Bully mentioned. All five of us have been summoned.
This arg proves I wouldn’t survive in a horror movie because I have never noticed any Lana duplicates or any flesh room or any of this horror stuff lol
I’ve tried accessing it and it’s no longer there neither is any of the Lana’s
I love the red ribbons in their hair, its like they've turned themselves into a conspiracy board.
as a non-roblox-player who just became aware of dress to impress thru a dan & phil video… the whiplash i’m getting learning there’s a whole ass horror arg in this cutesy lil game? i’m sorry a MEAT ROOM??
girl literally same. i played the game for the first time yesterday because of them and then i open youtube and this video is in my recommended
Same lol
That’s so real, that’s how I am too!
me playing dti not even knowing you could change your nail color this whole time 😭
This was clearly written by children but it's still very charming
And the criticism about it being excessively complicated is kind of the norm for ARGs anyway even when devs are much older
that's exactly why it's charming!
@@qwirkt yeah, i think by default most args are complicated and confusing. even when theyre planned meticulously and well-executed.
this is aa wonderful work of outsider art
Baby's first arg, for both the players AND the devs. God bless!
Close enough, welcome back MatPat!!
As someone who knows next to nothing about Roblox and a lot about Greek mythology, I can confirm that I saw that coming. The minute you said Agamemnon I was like "oh they're bringing Greek mythology into this?" 😂
Fun fact: Agamemnon is part of the most cursed family in Greek mythology and truly everything about his family is wild.
@@actualgrantaire He's also the absolute worsttt. I really don't like Agamemnon. 😐
I like how Izzy is saying that some of the things are just their headcanon instead of it actually being the story because most youtubers who do videos like these usually say things like they are facts even though it was their own interpretation
Yeah I really hate analysis or theorycrafting where they take deliberately vague works and treat their own interpretations as 'What the creator was doing all along'. Because it always gets to be a huge fight when stuff like that gets debunked bc of how many people thought it was authorial intent and not just a youtuber theory iykyk
@@tarotsushima3332it’s the history of literature analysis/classes to be fair lol. People assuming crazy theories/ideologies as what the author meant is as old as time
@@tarotsushima3332 fr there's so many people getting misinfo and dismissing others theories because of something like that
You know an arg is good when everything is presented in Virtual Boy Red.
bringing the age-old tradition of myths to a new generation. brings a tear to my eye
It's worth noting that in some telling of Agamemnon's sacrifice of Iphigenia, rather than killing her Artemis comes and saves her, switching her out for a deer (Artemis being the goddess he pissed off and was making the sacrifice to). So that seems to suggest there will be a way to save Lana.
I really, REALLY did not expect for such game to have any REAL hidden creepy lore AND especially intended by the devs. Kinda surprising how its still not super popular
i have so much respect for the dti team :) executing a weird little horror story in a childrens game and not dialing back the horror or softening it. i hope this arg gets a new generation of kids hooked on horror and args
Babe youve been standing for videos this whole time???? Thats crazy. Literally do not use your energy on that, please please please sit while you entertain us for hours.
I do appreciate seeing kids practice and develop their creative skills using random outlets, like roblox dress up games.
Nah, I bet Agamemnon just wants to dress up in pretty clothes, so he is trying to build a portal into the game. He also wants to slay in pink frilly miniskirts and high heels😔
The most powerful and terrifying final form is the form if an Instagram baddie 💜
As a Brazilian the fact that you brought up the definition of the word saudade makes me really happy, I've seen someone else talk about this ARG and they never mention that
At one point during this I was expecting it to be that she was stealing people's body parts to replace hers because she's still sick. Which would be cool but this is neat too.
I love ARGs because I never notice shit so it's like "THERE WERE STUFF GOING ON THIS WHOLE TIME ??!!!"
0:13 LORD FARQUAD??????!?!??!?!
roblox args are actually so important to me and how i developed as a child thank you dti team for bringing it back 🙏
my narrative plot twist idea is that the flesh-monster-robot is what remains of the Real Lana, and every other Lana we see (even the one in the skirt) is a clone
I was literally playing dti the other day and accidentally ended up in the basement and I was so confused 💀 this vid came out at the perfect time honestly
I actually like that its so convoluted with many unexplained bits of lore. It makes it feel more mysterious to me. I think its totally possible for the creators to expand on those in the future! Plus, it gives more room for fams to speculate and come up with theories. (Im also the kind of guy who just really loves that style of complicated storytelling though, so personal taste.)
I think its totally possible we could get plot twists or new information revealed on the unexplained mysteries. Just because a character is dead, doesnt mean they cant have an impact on the story. I love stories that start out with a character dying and the reader being thrust into a confusing situation, only to find out the backstory of the deceased and have it slowly fall into place.
Also, ideas about flesh robot:
1. Could be a machine with flesh as some of its parts. A gear is a gear whether its made of steel, iron, or wood. I can totally imagine a contraption that incorporates human tendons to control its movement and lumps of flesh as a protective outer casing. The big question is: Why did he choose this material over others, especially when its so costly to maintain? Perhaps he made the monster in order not to waste the excess parts of his victims, since the only part he himself seems to need is the soul. Maybe he needs so many souls, the flesh just kinda piled up and he was like "ok how can i use this... i know! flesh robot!" #resourcefulqueen
2. I can see a few ways having the monster as an ally would be advantageous to him. He might use it because it has more raw power than he currently possesses, or because it can allow him to operate in two separate places at once. Maybe the monster is another required part of the ritual he wants to undertake.
Side note - was I the only one who kinda got trans vibes? The writing in the wall saying he wants to discard his body really reminded me of gender dysphoria. I wouldnt want that to ever be confirmed by the creators bc itd be super problematic, but as a trans person myself, I kind of feel seen by this headcanon.
Maybe the meat robot is like the mechs from Neon Genesis Evangelion
Babe wake up new Izzzyzzz video just dropped.
was just about to comment this
i was literally about to post this too 😭
It makes me incredibly happy to see that there are still kids making incredibly earnest, in depth stories on Roblox. I ran an ancient Greek horror role play group that mostly focused on the forums (this was WAY long ago when Roblox still had those, 2010 I think) and it was such a blast. It makes me feel like my childhood never ended, it just got passed on.
Between the hair salon and makeup area you can see a messy shelf. Walk into it and you will find yourself in an underground area where the real Lana is locked up in a cage and a bunch of writing on the walls
this is the comment i was looking for omfg😭😭 so weird how this video popped up and i was wondering why someone built that underneath the dti room
@@hvneybun considering how long this video is, Izzy probably planned this video way back before the new update
Isn't that the same as 39:45 ?
@@doredam8919 yeah lol I commented before I saw the whole video I got too excited haha
@@doredam8919 yeah lol I commented before I saw the whole video I got too excited haha
when they made that reference to FNaF i was just thinking "yeah that tracks." this ARG matches FNaF in its extremely convoluted storytelling and obscure easter eggs lol, makes total sense the creators of dti are fans of that series.
For everyone that's interested, all the secret rooms mentioned in the video (meat room and the portal room in the lobby) have been locked off, meaning no one can access them, but you can still go to the portrait of the former nail tech- Lana- with the red monster behind her in free play mode
What is free play mode?
Can I just point out that according to their profile, the creator of this game and ARG is a SIXTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL!? WHAT!?! I'm so happy to see not only young creators but young WOMEN creators out here making names for themselves. I'm not a roblox player, because I am almost 40 years old, but I am amazed with how much KIDS are able to make on that site. Absolutely astonishing.
Kids arent really making that much, they get a paltry amount while the big wigs behind Roblox rake in the dough. Its honestly disgusting and young kids should be spending their time in other games that dont exploit them for free labor
Ugh ew? They're kids. Not young women.
@@SamoyedSagas pretty sure they meant much how much content, not how much money.
And while I have a lot of problems with roblox, players being able to make content is how sandbox games work. Minecraft is similar.
@@TheBigJayAgendato be fair, they did say kids too, but I agree that 16 is not a young woman, they're a teenager
@@TheBigJayAgenda i can just tell you have a tumblr and a lot of voltron shipping opinions
with the creature needing to be fed so it doesn't starve, maybe 'being fed' just refers to the monster using flesh for power? it's 'starving' could be not having enough power to turned on, or atleast be strong enough
I wonder if my little cousin who's obsessed with this game knows about this, "hey did you hear about the murder cults in your dress up game?"
I was thinking the same about mine, I've never technically heard her talk about DTI but she used to love dragging me into playing Fashion Famous with her whenever I visited so I wouldn't be surpised if she plays this too
wait are you telling me you’ve been STANDING in all of your videos??? i just assumed you’d been sitting the whole time 😭😭
So glad the Roblox kids of this decade are experiencing in-game ARGs like I did when I was around their age lol. Goz the Clown was my shit
One month late to this comment but YESS another former GOZ fan!! I loved that funky clown man :]]
“Girl don’t play with us” killed me.
You’ve been STANDING THIS WHOLE TIME
the dedication
I’m not sure if this is related, but I think motoprincess’s username was based on a song from a TripleS. TripleS is a k-pop group one of the creators is a stan of. The song is about someone running away from their sadness with lyrics like “show me more clues of the future”, and “do you think about me too?” which I think hints at the person running away and going missing with the lead of someone else. It can also be interpreted as someone looking for someone, either looking for them, or even running away to find them. I think the story of Lana is based on this song, because it fits her story perfectly. It’s a bit of a reach, but it’s possible.
On the official discord, Gigi also said Dress To Impress was inspired by LE SSERAFIM’s song Eve, Psyche and the Bluebeard’s Wife from the lyric “Fearless, say yes, we don't dress to impress”
Matching cult outfits with me and my bestiee
Back in what I remember as 2017-2019 Roblox, Roblox myths were a huge thing in the community. I love devs keeping the tradition alive of scaring children and making stories.
NOW I CAN FINALLY UNDERSTAND THE MELLY VUONG DTI ANIMATION 😭😭😭😭😭 all the comments were like "omg she knows the lana lore" but NO ONE EXPLAINED ANYTHING ABOUT IT
I have been waiting for someone to do a video on this!! The kids I babysit try to explain the lore to me but theyre 6 and 11 so it’s a bit confusing 😭
Please do an sequel to this video, I want to learn more about the lore now that there’s been an update but I dont want to learn it directly, I want to specifically learn it second hand through your videos LOL
I never fully got the dti lana lore but now watching this it is giving old roblox myths. This story and stuff is exactly what old roblox myth groups used to do and I hope because of dti all that stuff will make a comeback it was so good
this story is completely insane and incomprehensible but it makes me so happy that its teenagers creating complex and interesting stories, involving others, and being creative and expressive. what a bunch of badasses
yeah, but i don’t think it should be praised as genius or something
@@catmerchant8699yea but it’s much better than a lot of what other folk can do
Hey, at least this is better than urbanspook.
BRO YOU WERE RECORDING HALF-AN-HOUR-LONG VIDEOS WHILE STANDING??? INSANE
Why?
@LordOfElysium it seems Unnecessarily exhausting
@@isopodchan87 Lots of people like to work standing, my father always does when he works from home, so I get it-
i love how they just make videos for literally EVERYONE like i just realized how like safe this community feels and like the little judgement there is on these niche subjects(only seen yt community correct me if im wrong)
"fit so good I had to go into the meat room to hide" will now be something I quote on the regular, thank you Izzzyzzz
i love how you dress like a mary sue on the regular it’s so iconic
I love the background filled with collectibles. Especially the Draculaura doll ❤
dti??????? 54 minutes????? right before my nightly rot in bed session???????? thank you izzzyzz we all say in unison
This was so cool! And this was made by *teenagers?* That's insane and I'm so, so impressed!
I love subtle ARGs like this. Like, the fact that someone could play Dress to Impress and never encounter the horror shit is so fascinating to me. It really does make it feel like a labour of love, the developers putting so much effort into something people might never even notice.
I think it’s been taken out of the game now unfortunately I’ve tried seeing the Lana ghosts and meat room but it’s not there
I know this is kind of a sign of how low the bar is, but honestly massive shout out to Izzy for properly criticizing media made by young people without mocking them. A lotta people online seem unable to acknowledge that there are story flaws and plot holes in a story written by a teenager WHILE ALSO being compassionate and encouraging, so it was genuinely refreshing to me that Izzy gave ACTUAL constructive criticism
Have I ever played DTI? No.
Will I watch this whole video? Absolutely.
And here I just thought the game was glitching because I have a janky rural internet connection
This is why I can't be a protagonist in an EXE Creepypasta.
physically screamed when i saw this OH MY GOD IZZY GOES OVER THE DTI LORE?????? I'VE BEEN INTO THIS SINCE LAST MONTH OMG I BASICALLY KNOW ALMOST EVERYTHING 😭💔 dti obsessed rn
Me too I screamed YESSS
IK RIGHT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MONTH AHHHH
I'm glad the kids are learning their vocabulary words and Greek mythology, even if it's from Roblox.
Its so funny to me that the developer clearly wanted to put in all these elements to get people interested in the arg, only for so much of the playerbase to seemingly go "not interested, thanks, i just want to dress up"
OMG IZZY TALKING ABOUT DRESS TO IMPRESS LORE?? IM CRYING WHATTT, AND THE HAIRRRRR OMGGGG
real !!!!
47:48 I died when you zoomed into the posters of Fiona Apple, Chappell Roan, Weyes Blood, and Aespa 😭😭😭
Here after Gigi got exposed, I’m exited for the videos in 10 years where ppl break down the history of dti
agamemnon isnt the only greek name within this story, Alatheia is also a figure of greek mythology, the personification of Truth.
this is peak “we added some creepy elements and have to improvise a story”
HUGE REVEAL... Standing the whole time?!! WHAT!??
Even when she threw the phone?!
I'm just imagining someone who just plays it for the dressup game, has no idea about the ARG, and then one day the nail salon worker gets replaced in the game and everyone loses their mind. XD
First off: this is so hilarious as a spinoff of Dress to Impress of all things!
I don't know if you will see this but: something that might help you tie more stuff together is the TTRPG/videogames Vampire the Masquerade (VTM). It came out in the early 2000s and is peak that-era edginess. What stuck out to me is that your adventuring party is called a Coterie and the plot often revolves around coterie members having hidden motives. Then, a "herd" is another term in the series! A group who offer their blood to a powerful vampire. The theme colours are soooo red and black as well.
This series does the whole "biblical character Cain is the first vampire" and a lot of Greek and other myths come into things. Helen of Troy is a vampire in the series lmao - Agamemnon's name coming from the same myth.
The body parts stuff feels like an offshoot of Clan Tzimisce from VTM, a clan of evil vampires who are flesh crafting warlocks basically.
I feel like the creators of the ARG might be fans of VTM at least? Might be a longshot but might also tie some of the more confusing stuff together 😂
I love this! Its definitely got babies first ARG vibes as it is a bit convoluted and over the top with the violence. But the fact ARGs have become so popular a group of teen devs on roblox decided to give it a go? I think thats awesome!
Its also so cool this is probably a lot of kids first expierence with an arg, i hope it leads to those kids taking part in and making their own projects in the future too!
I'll definitely tune in if you decide to make a part two to this, im invested now.
