I didn't think of it at first, but the way Mark gave reasoning for all his answers and choices really made everything much more clear. The way he explained in detail why he chose what he did. And the way he narrates, dear god, it's amazing. He puts voice actors to shame. And the way he gets into games he likes is so cute. He gets so into them he gives actual reason and explanations as to why he likes the it. It's truly incredible to me.
i was looking for this comment. i am pretty sure its an easter egg."mark and amy" it has to be. the game developer must have known that mark would play this.
legendary altair I doubt it. Mark and Amy are very common names. So is Dennis. The game developers use common names to portray the fact that in this story this could happen to absolutely anyone, and they're letting you choose how you would react.
I managed to imagine some amalgamation of amorphous shapes that vaguely resemble a glowing blended squid being recorded through a low-frame-rate camera.
Amy might be lying Mark! She said the teleportation experiment was used on a rat, but it's guts were on the outside of it's body. But what did you see when Marcus was looking through the first aid kit? A picture of a man with his guts lying beside him. Marcus even hurried to hide it. They might be using people for their experiments.
State From Jake Farm Well obviously no one is going to tell the truth their as it is basically murder. But the government to have strings to pull to get away from murder so Idk.
State From Jake Farm but they did say the rat went to a lab in Mexico and maybe the entity we hearnof can distort weld melt twist bend or transport matter basically a demented land based warmer from another dimension
Huh...? The rat died from being turned inside-out as a result of the teleportation. The people are all dying as a result of the BEINGS that can distort matter, which includes humans. This is all explained in the story, and Marcus not wanting Roger to see the body on the monitor isn't surprising, considering how cautious they all are about giving too much information about the facility and what happens there...
I think that it might be possible if the movie doesn't directly show the monsters (to keep the mystery) but that would be a very difficult movie to make.
Didn't Dennis say that the presumed explosion was caused by a "ball of light" coming out of the ground? Or he saw it come out of the ground after the explosion? And the description of these entities suggests they look like a ball of light squid thing. If the thing Dennis saw was one of those entities then that would mean one of them has escaped and with the impact the ones in the facility have had, bearing in mind they seem to be unable to travel through walls efficiently, it could potentially fuck up the world. If it was one of them and it just passed through the ground like your character passing through plants in Skyrim then it must be extremely powerful, god-like in a sense. The torture of waiting for the next part is too much. And no, I am not the entity trying to cover its ass.
Mohd Ahmed wow. if that's true then thanks for spoiling jackass. At least wait until the video that that little tidbit is actually revealed in to talk about that shit in the comments.
If u left Dennis at the logging sight I think u would have seen him dead when u looked at the cameras watching over the logging sight. He spoke of seeing a dark figure before entering I think.
Dragon Fire very tee especially when it's one of your favourite youtubers and you're ill so you watch it while all your friends are at school and you have your mum bringing food and drink to you...Perfect For Me
just noticed that all the top comments aren't about the video. So i just wanted to say that this game (i don't really know how to describe it) is awesome and mark reading this makes it even better. Please keep going it's sooooo good xx
well go get 'em and dunk on them im here to look and laugh at the dumbasses that are like "no one will see this" or "come see my channel" or whatever people can come up with
MARK!!! I have already said this, and i'm gonna say it again: YOU WOULD BE FANTASTIC IF YOU WERE TO DO AUDIO BOOKS. HORROR, SUSPENCE, SCI-FI, IT DOES NOT MATTER! for this series, I don't need to look at the screen to watch you, i'm closing my eyes and letting your voice wash over me in the narrative and I find myself with the characters in this creepy setting! Sorry, just appreciative of the art form, that's all.
i concur this is an excellent type of content for you, it gives you the feels from horror, and shows your ability to continue a serious continuous story. If there are more things like this out there holly crap this kind of content could be the holy grail.
Mark actually mentioned at one point in the latest livestream, that he didn't join RUclips just to be a gamer, he joined and picked Let's Plays because he would be able to practice using his voice properly so he could become a voice actor. So I have a feeling you and many of us will get our wish!
Yeah, something's not right with him and, I feel like it'll take a turn for the worse. I thought he had gone insane in the last episode, but it might get much MUCH darker than that, but maybe there's a cure, or maybe Mark will have to make the choice to kill Dennis, whether it's a mercy killing or he HAS to kill Dennis BEFORE Dennis kills him, only time will tell...
Ok so here's the thing once you are about to end it you will see 2 world's a orange world and a blue world one of them is good which will lead to good ending one of them is bad which will lead to bad ending
indeed! That was one hell of a stream. Even though I couldn't donate, I enjoyed the constant update pics on twitter by all three of my fave people out there (Tyler, Mark, Ethan) and of course we can't forget the lovable Amy and Kathryn!! It was rough though for me, cause I was on my phone (at midnight) trying to keep a balance between commenting on twitter and watching Mark's livestream LOL XD
I have to say, Mark, even though you most likely won't see it, this series has me enthralled. I don't watch complete series on RUclips much anymore due to time constraints, but I'm hooked on this one. Once you're done with this storyline I know I, probably like many others, would be excited if you restarted and made different choices to see how the story can vary.
CometShredder there's an app called Hooked, it has stories like these, but the thing is u only can read a limited amount of parts of the story. u could get a premium acc for unlimited reading time
actually I completed the game again with the good ending u get a change where you can save Dennis but it will cost his arm because one of the creature has wrapped on his arm if u dont shoot it he will die if you save Dennis later in the game you will have to sacrifice one of them :)
I know I said this gives me SCP vibes but this screamed Half Life as well. Failed experiment, otherworldy beings coming through accidentally. Really enjoying this! Hopefully there's no Xen level though xD
Mark makes jokes that he's dumb but he really is quite intelligent as far as deductive reasoning goes. I never would have thought about WHY Marcus was strangling her with the gun rather than just shooting her.
I'm enjoying this series IMMENSELY Mark, can't wait for the next parts. It would definitely be cool if you found more games/stories like this to do in the future
I'm not here to ask for likes, i'm not part of a squad, not a gang, none of my friends or pets or family members died, i'm not here to report annoying bots, i'm not here to look at the comments I'm just here.... to watch the fucking video.......
this is what good games are all about. graphics, gameplay, fmv, and etc. are all just tools to help a a good story. if the storyline is completely compelling then none of that extra stuff is needed. this game proves that. mark, great choice on picking this game and great narration.
+alexisthemexican Yeah, Mark clarified that at the beginning, saying it was _technically_ a type of game, but not really. But their main point still stands. That the storyline is more important than anything else in the game. That if you have a bad story, it doesn't matter how great everything else is.
This isn't it even a game, this is an interactive story, good games are all about GAMEplay. A good story, graphics, etc.... those things are secondary. If the gameplay sucks, then why are you even playing a game in the first place, read a book or watch a movie if the ONLY thing you want is a good story. Dont get me wrong, i love a good story in a game, but only if is accompanied by a good gameplay and fitting graphics. So yeah, gameplays are not tools to help a good story, a good story are tools to help the game. Anyway, obviously this is only my opinion, sorry if i sound too agresive, and sorry if there is any mistake or wrong grammar, i'm not a native english speaker.
I really think this is a game. Older games like Atari ones sometimes were like this. My father has a MSX and it has a rpg game that is the same as this
I hope all of you reading this comment (If you find it deep in the comment section anyway) have a great Monday and a an even better week. Just know that you are always loved.
I really enjoy this so far. But I'm kinda sad that Marcus is the obvious "bad guy", I don't know... it just happens in every story like that. I really hope for a twist or something.
1) Never read comments of any video with a story first. 2) The fact that it slowed the creatures down more than the time to close the LOUD door (that in addition should have gotten their attention even faster) seems like a plot hole anyways. BONUS: My reaction when he chose to close the door still happened even when the video is over :O
1. Mark's voice and the story are perfect for each other! Both of them are amazing! 2. I just realised how Lovecraftian this story is, like, floating creatures from other dimensions, tentacles, light, deforming stuff, creatures that cannot be comprehended by human minds or would drive people insane just by looking at them, etc. That Is Seriously Lovecraftian! I Haven't Seen Good Lovecraftian Stuff For So Long!!! Man I Love This Game!!!
Astonishing narration Mark, all those improv thinga-magjigs really paid off, your voice makes this game very eerie and gives me this feeling of seriousness/real-life scenario that no one else could do.
StoneClaw You legitimately believe that you're a therian or part of said group? That's really interesting, truly. And yes, I am a furry, but I don't care for fursuits or anything of the sort. Mostly just the art.
Grant Zolldan Cool! and yes i do. My pack is moonclan, we currently inhabit a large chunk of forest in our area, composed of a large river and very small caves. My rank status is Beta. I just git back from a meeting as a matter of fact. XD
This is like a buffet of tension and other feels. And I am savoring every atom of it. I missed this you, Mark. Bring this back more often. I needed this.
I just love tuning in for Storytime With Markiplier. lol. Seriously though, these choose your adventure style games/ stories are great and this one in particular is fascinating.
Mark, your narrating is amazing! Definitely my favorite short series so far-this brought me back to your channel from a small break. I've been with you since 500k, it's been a long ride. It's insane to see how much you have grown.
it's been a while since a game had me so terrified. i was literaly on the edge of my seat the ENTIRE time after you entered level 3. i absolutely love this game to bits ♥
Omg mark and Amy ! That's actually freaktastic !! I can only imagine how weird you feel playing this . You need to do more like this . Your voice is comforting or intense depending on your dialogue . Thumbs up buddy !
as im noting Mark's choices, ive noticed how passive he is. he notes others emotions in the story and what works best, big guy Dennis likes comfort and validation, Marcus needs a mix of aggression and passive voice.
INTERACTIVE THEATER! Mark, I'm loving that you adapt your style of let's plays to the mood of the game. This is something that not many youtubers can do. I can't imagine any other youtuber presenting this game in the same way you are: You read the story with intensity and stay away from commenting on it. The only times you comment are when given choices. This shows a great maturity and confidence in your craft. Jack would feel the need to comment on parts of the story while reading it ("No! Don't go the fuck back to that room! I'm just a little boy!"), because he gets uncomfortable when it's just the game and him. I love him but he feels a need to speak to the audience, or make a joke, or a random comment (hair in his eyes) at least once every ten seconds...Which is fine for his style, and what the fans expect... But you have taken this game to the level of a theater experience, but still involve the viewers when a choice is pending and explain your mindset at the time... This series really feels like interactive theater and I feel like I'm watching you as a player upon the stage of the game but without a script... AND THAT IS FUCKING AWESOME THEATER!
I'm not usually into storyline games but omg please keep going with the game. Whatever you do don't stop. I'm on the edge and I seriously need to see the next episode because watching this is more fun than actually playing it to me. You're awesome Mark 😋
I love that I've read things grosser than the description of the bodies was. Like, it's fantastic horror right there!!! I really love this game and hope you finish it out!!! :D
This game has some good body-horror, but some of the best I've read is in the web-series Worm. The author has a way of describing things extremely well and when he wants to create terrifying characters he has an amazing ability to do just that.
Maybe the "light explosions" enveloped the crew members. Remember when Dennis explained how he heard "static" sounds "like a radio". Then again, circular holes in the ground near base? Sounds like somebody may have accidentally cut out some dirt when teleporting somebody.
I came back to this series and only now saw this comment. It's a really nice theory, but there were at least 3 of those entities, and only 2 of the crew missing, Frank and Joe.
Also interesting that leaving Dennis behind upstairs would have been a better decision. As now he is being left behind on the floor as the creatures attacking the facility. Had he been left upstairs there are no known creatures up there.
I have a theory: From what I know about distortions in space-time, I'm thinking that those "creatures" or "entities" are possibly less living and more caused by the ripple that were created there from teleporting rats. To explain how they are drawn to people and to noise, it could be that those ripples in space time are drawn to the ripples and waves that noise basically is and the living functions such as emitting heat, noise, and high amounts of activity in the human body. Also, when Mark shot at the "creature", it slowed and distorted a little. The distortion is natural due to the bullet passing through it, and since it is not a physically stable structure that holds together as one unit, it isn't affected very much. However, it is clearly slowed a little bit. This might be because of the ripples of noise that the bullet created through it. It slows because of its attraction to itself from the bullet passing through it, but in the end, draws towards Amy and Roger anyways. Finally, to explain how it's attracted to ripples and such, I would explain it like bubbles in a cup or bowl. The bubbles in water or other tend to draw to the sides. This could be the same concept of attraction of ripple to ripple here. But you know, just a theory :D
hey if anyone has seen doctor who you sounded a lot like the doctor especially with the cup example. And I really like your theory it's very interesting. 👍👍
A Game Theory! XD Seriously tho, that's a really good theory. I wish I could make theories like that, but all I can think of now is Lovecraft. I guess it would make sense that this game is Lovecraftian, but, oh well.
I wish that there was a temporary playlist that only exists while you are watching to it, and would basicaly act like autoplay, but you can browse youtube on one part of the screen and add to the playlist that deletes itself after x time once it's over
I fell asleep to this video last night, waking from a bizarre, yet incredible dream several hours later. I couldn't help but watch it again later today in anticipation for the next chapter. This is such a fun looking narrative game, and I like the choices you made along the way.
Chronzillo P. McTitties Try to visualize a Warper from Subnautica, but made of light with a blackhole effect around them and that they jerk time to time whenever they move
You're not supposed to know what they look like because they exist in a dimension that the human mind can't comprehend. That's why all of the characters suck at giving explanations of what they see.
this is by far the most engaging and enthralling video series Markiplier has done to date. I have spent countless hours going through other long let's plays and this is amazing. Please do more of these
The first 6 comments I've seen have been Fakeipliers and people begging for subs or likes. COME ON! What happened to funny comments or people pointing out things. Not it's just bots and fakers, or people going "First". This is a great video, and yet the comment section is just a collection of people vying for attention. 😞 It just makes me so sad.
I didn't think of it at first, but the way Mark gave reasoning for all his answers and choices really made everything much more clear. The way he explained in detail why he chose what he did. And the way he narrates, dear god, it's amazing. He puts voice actors to shame. And the way he gets into games he likes is so cute. He gets so into them he gives actual reason and explanations as to why he likes the it. It's truly incredible to me.
dat boi has spoken
dat boi PREACH
Dat boo has shown us the shit whaddup.....sry but I can't resist...(inhale) SOMEBODY'S IN LOOOOOOOVEEEE
dat boi his narration is so good that as he reads this i get imagery in my head and when that happens,that's when you know it's good narration
Holdyn Vaughn I don't know if I would call it in love, but more like fascinated. Just something about him is amazing to me.
Game: "It's Amy right?" "Yes. It's Mark?"
Me: "Oh that's amazing Mark and Amy are in the game!"
CopiKazin i was looking to see if anyone was gonna say anything about that 😂😂
Natalie RandomSepticHowlterIDKIplierWantsToBattle. Me too 😂
i was looking for this comment. i am pretty sure its an easter egg."mark and amy" it has to be. the game developer must have known that mark would play this.
CopiKazin Are they still dating
legendary altair I doubt it. Mark and Amy are very common names. So is Dennis. The game developers use common names to portray the fact that in this story this could happen to absolutely anyone, and they're letting you choose how you would react.
An unimaginable creature is surprisingly hard to imagine.
Ghost-balls with leg-wings?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
All I can imagine are Box Jellyfish or giant squids. I wish I could imagine harder and more creatively, but that's the best I got...
I was picturing the Unversed from Kingdom Hearts: BBS but made of light and more tentacle-like appendanges
I managed to imagine some amalgamation of amorphous shapes that vaguely resemble a glowing blended squid being recorded through a low-frame-rate camera.
Well remember its warping the light around it so its kind of what a black hole should look like exept made of light and the shape of a squid a guess.
They like bringing up the fact that he didn't get the hard hat, don't they...
3 years and still no reply and top comment weird
Yeah kinda strange there are no comments wanna talk?
Man, a month passed and there's still only 2 comments? Time to make it 3
Well, looks like there are 4.
Lol
Amy might be lying Mark! She said the teleportation experiment was used on a rat, but it's guts were on the outside of it's body. But what did you see when Marcus was looking through the first aid kit? A picture of a man with his guts lying beside him. Marcus even hurried to hide it. They might be using people for their experiments.
State From Jake Farm
Well obviously no one is going to tell the truth their as it is basically murder. But the government to have strings to pull to get away from murder so Idk.
State From Jake Farm but they did say the rat went to a lab in Mexico and maybe the entity we hearnof can distort weld melt twist bend or transport matter basically a demented land based warmer from another dimension
*Warper*
They probably tested it on a rat than a person to see if it had the same effects
Huh...? The rat died from being turned inside-out as a result of the teleportation. The people are all dying as a result of the BEINGS that can distort matter, which includes humans. This is all explained in the story, and Marcus not wanting Roger to see the body on the monitor isn't surprising, considering how cautious they all are about giving too much information about the facility and what happens there...
Shocking how this isn't a movie or short film yet
Any film created monster wouldn't do this justice.
Yep I think you're right, it's better to just let our imagination flows
I think that it might be possible if the movie doesn't directly show the monsters (to keep the mystery) but that would be a very difficult movie to make.
Didn't Dennis say that the presumed explosion was caused by a "ball of light" coming out of the ground? Or he saw it come out of the ground after the explosion?

If it was one of them and it just passed through the ground like your character passing through plants in Skyrim then it must be extremely powerful, god-like in a sense. The torture of waiting for the next part is too much. And no, I am not the entity trying to cover its ass.
Spaghetti God no the entity doesn't survive it dies but explodes
Mohd Ahmed wow. if that's true then thanks for spoiling jackass. At least wait until the video that that little tidbit is actually revealed in to talk about that shit in the comments.
Sounds like something an entity that’s trying to cover its ass would say
If u left Dennis at the logging sight I think u would have seen him dead when u looked at the cameras watching over the logging sight. He spoke of seeing a dark figure before entering I think.
Atrinity oh man.
+Talon Ember
The spam.
He also mentioned hearing a radio static sound while out there and that is the noise the monsters make.
And he also said that there were no radios on site.
Absolutely in love with this "game". Listening to Mark talking is just so calming.
Heck, I fell asleep to this game once
Awesome Sauce Is Awesome me too
ΚΛΤΙΣ SΤΣVΣΝ ikr he's a rlly good narrator
ΚΛΤΙΣ SΤΣVΣΝ he has a calming voice
SleepyTurtleGod lol, then I woke up like 3 hours later, watching another video
Marks voice is so calming who else agrees?

I think you choose very wisely, Mark, very rational
Amanda Guerra that's what I thought too ^-^
hi
I am so glad that some else sees the logic.
Amanda Guerra ai say what now?
You mean chose?
It's fun to snuggle up in a soft blanket and listen to the story
Dragon Fire Ikr!! such a good storyy
Dragon Fire very tee especially when it's one of your favourite youtubers and you're ill so you watch it while all your friends are at school and you have your mum bringing food and drink to you...Perfect For Me
That's legit what I did... xD
that's what I'm doing as well
bro the dude's voice is a soft blanket for my ears to snuggle up in.
Mark is a great narrator. His voice is pretty soothing for me.
Kyle Campbell He could make a living alone off of voice acting, I'm suprised he hasn't been called for big rolls.
I would definitely buy an audiobook narrated by him. It's very calming to listen to him while I work on projects and stuff.
Kyle Campbell Right? I would just listen to the audio if I didn't care about the plot...
he does make a good narrator
I love his deep huskey voice
Wow i won't lie, that's much better than reading a book
Sans the skeleton exactly!
Yeah really
Sans the skeleton now I can sit back and relax while watching mark read a story 👍
Sans the skeleton especially with Mark reading it
That's why mark should do a audio book
just noticed that all the top comments aren't about the video. So i just wanted to say that this game (i don't really know how to describe it) is awesome and mark reading this makes it even better. Please keep going it's sooooo good xx
his "voice acting" is ON POINT
I cannot wait to see what happens next and what choices he'll make! And yes, I will agree with you about his voice :D
check me out im knew ill be posting a video tonight its about undertale plz like and subscribe
Reply
Ikr I feel like I'm reading an audio book with marks voice XD
Iris Bey I know mark puts so much feeling into this game so it makes it so much better
This has actually turned into one of my favorite series ever from Mark.
YAY I AM HONESTLY SO INTO THIS GAME !!
Jill P I KNOW RIGHT
Jill P me too brah
Me too! I'm so in love with the story
Jill P dude me too
hi
I JUST WANT TO WATCH THE GOD DAMN VIDEO AND TALK ABOUT THE VIDEO WITH FELLOW MARKIPLIER FANS
Aitana Aragon i on the other hand want to report the bots #ManOnAMission
well go get 'em and dunk on them im here to look and laugh at the dumbasses that are like "no one will see this" or "come see my channel" or whatever people can come up with
Aitana Aragon I am I fellow fan! Talk away!
Aitana Aragon Fan here! I LOOOOOVED the vid
Do you accept comrades by your side on your crusade?
MARK!!! I have already said this, and i'm gonna say it again: YOU WOULD BE FANTASTIC IF YOU WERE TO DO AUDIO BOOKS. HORROR, SUSPENCE, SCI-FI, IT DOES NOT MATTER! for this series, I don't need to look at the screen to watch you, i'm closing my eyes and letting your voice wash over me in the narrative and I find myself with the characters in this creepy setting! Sorry, just appreciative of the art form, that's all.
we have "Cry reads _________"
now we need "Mark reads _______"
i concur this is an excellent type of content for you, it gives you the feels from horror, and shows your ability to continue a serious continuous story. If there are more things like this out there holly crap this kind of content could be the holy grail.
Mark actually mentioned at one point in the latest livestream, that he didn't join RUclips just to be a gamer, he joined and picked Let's Plays because he would be able to practice using his voice properly so he could become a voice actor. So I have a feeling you and many of us will get our wish!
KingScorpion73 I agree Mark's voice is very nice and would be perfect for audio books.
I hope Mark does more Narration/text based games in the future, this one is so good
These entities are actually GMod players. That's how they distort, weld and twist matter.
haha that would be amazing if that was the case
Alinol Kreany then I'd be one too
idk why but i think dennis are like infected by those things.... his wound... being relaxed, its just weird
Gerald Tedja You’re right, something’s not good
Gerald Tedja I was thinking that to
Yeah, something's not right with him and, I feel like it'll take a turn for the worse. I thought he had gone insane in the last episode, but it might get much MUCH darker than that, but maybe there's a cure, or maybe Mark will have to make the choice to kill Dennis, whether it's a mercy killing or he HAS to kill Dennis BEFORE Dennis kills him, only time will tell...
Ok so here's the thing
once you are about to end it you will see 2 world's a orange world and a blue world
one of them is good which will lead to good ending
one of them is bad which will lead to bad ending
Commenting twice so that
Props to Mark for his charity work yesterday! Huge inspiration especially to us small youtubers. Keep it up!
indeed! That was one hell of a stream. Even though I couldn't donate, I enjoyed the constant update pics on twitter by all three of my fave people out there (Tyler, Mark, Ethan) and of course we can't forget the lovable Amy and Kathryn!! It was rough though for me, cause I was on my phone (at midnight) trying to keep a balance between commenting on twitter and watching Mark's livestream LOL XD
SvenInMotion I really liked the stream yesterday too. it seemed more chill and laid back.
If you look at the video bi on my channel next time more games
this is the first REAL comment in the comment section... disappointing
Yeah, there's more spam than one would expect. Too bad :/
Mark should totally do more games like these, his voice is so calming.
Please everyone suggest more of these to mark so maybe he can play them!
I have to say, Mark, even though you most likely won't see it, this series has me enthralled. I don't watch complete series on RUclips much anymore due to time constraints, but I'm hooked on this one. Once you're done with this storyline I know I, probably like many others, would be excited if you restarted and made different choices to see how the story can vary.
Once this is over I might get the game and make the opposite choices just to see!!
CometShredder there's an app called Hooked, it has stories like these, but the thing is u only can read a limited amount of parts of the story. u could get a premium acc for unlimited reading time
ME TOO >u<
but yet again my side will probably get the best of me :I
same! some things I will do the same as Mark did that's for sure.
CometShredder YES YES YES!!
Am I the only one worried about Dennis?
Moozy Foozy yes this whole time I'm like "umm what about Dennis??"
he dies I completed the game
Mohd Ahmed dude fuck you you spoiled it and i couldn't ignore dat
actually I completed the game again with the good ending u get a change where you can save Dennis but it will cost his arm because one of the creature has wrapped on his arm if u dont shoot it he will die if you save Dennis later in the game you will have to sacrifice one of them :)
Mohd Ahmed You are spoiling the game for everyone else :). Please stop and delete your comments.
I know I said this gives me SCP vibes but this screamed Half Life as well. Failed experiment, otherworldy beings coming through accidentally. Really enjoying this! Hopefully there's no Xen level though xD
M.A.D Gaming haha yes no Xen level please.
Tom Dixon well at least being a visual novel there won't be any jumping puzzles!
M.A.D Gaming very true
It gives me Event Horizon vibes.
M.A.D Gaming Mark's punishment video is now
Mark makes jokes that he's dumb but he really is quite intelligent as far as deductive reasoning goes. I never would have thought about WHY Marcus was strangling her with the gun rather than just shooting her.
that's what makes this series enjoyable
I still stand by the fact he's using common sense
@@emlynselene1096 Too bad that "common sense" ain't too common.
Smart ppl have so problem joking they're dumb.
Wait he hurts amy
I'm surprised he could talk for about 50 minutes straight.
Nice username
I'm honestly so surprised he hasn't voiced a character in a popular movie/show
I'm enjoying this series IMMENSELY Mark, can't wait for the next parts. It would definitely be cool if you found more games/stories like this to do in the future
@Ren I'm enjoying this series too
Ren agreed!!!!
I need to know where to get this, I can't wait to see what happens.
It's too good to have to wait for.
Fuck u Presley mars
Ren wouldn't it be cool if they did a whole sketch of this play through
mark should have an audio book
From the Future: have you experienced The Edge of Sleep?!!!
I'm not here to ask for likes, i'm not part of a squad, not a gang, none of my friends or pets or family members died, i'm not here to report annoying bots, i'm not here to look at the comments
I'm just here.... to watch the fucking video.......
I'm proud of you.
Ultimate Random Guy 👍
Ultimate Random Guy FINALLY, a normal comment! Thank you stranger!🙏
Ok this is a real comment that deserves 1000 likes
Bless you, bud.
The guns in every room implies they expected something like this to happen... feels like it goes beyond teleportation.
I want him reading stories to me at bedtime. HIS VOICE IS SO SOOTHING.
420 acspecs I know right
Kinda curious if anything happened in the lab in New Mexico. :/
Kristin Llewellyn Probably.
Kristin Llewellyn it's a reference to half life because the black mesa lab was in New Mexico and was working on teleportation
Nihilistic America+ Same plot was for Doom-1993, Doom 3 and the Movie "Even horizon" .Seems to be a recurrent theme for Horror Sci-Fi.
good point!
I love how Mark's commentary is basically the main character's inner monologue
Markipoo for 2017 for The best voice for RUclips entertainment! 😍👍
RJ and PAULA agree! His deep voice is crazy! 😂
RJTroncoso He has that vibrating sound. 😊
RJ and PAULA ikr he is so fab😊u😂lou😄
Mark - Best narrartor
Jack - Best voice actor.
RJ and PAULA u know it ❤️❤️❤️💯
Well, that would be too much of an accident if her name was Amy and the guys' name Mark :D
Katarína Rašková THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING
I know right ? I was so confused and so was Mark.
Katarína Rašková I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THAT XDDDD
hi
StygianTraveler141 Oh, wow. There you are again, Hello, friend.
The only person I care about surviving is Dennis. Everyone else can die LOL
dennis the best
this is what good games are all about. graphics, gameplay, fmv, and etc. are all just tools to help a a good story. if the storyline is completely compelling then none of that extra stuff is needed. this game proves that. mark, great choice on picking this game and great narration.
No one Important it's not a game. It's a just an interactive story.
+alexisthemexican Yeah, Mark clarified that at the beginning, saying it was _technically_ a type of game, but not really. But their main point still stands. That the storyline is more important than anything else in the game. That if you have a bad story, it doesn't matter how great everything else is.
This isn't it even a game, this is an interactive story, good games are all about GAMEplay. A good story, graphics, etc.... those things are secondary. If the gameplay sucks, then why are you even playing a game in the first place, read a book or watch a movie if the ONLY thing you want is a good story.
Dont get me wrong, i love a good story in a game, but only if is accompanied by a good gameplay and fitting graphics. So yeah, gameplays are not tools to help a good story, a good story are tools to help the game.
Anyway, obviously this is only my opinion, sorry if i sound too agresive, and sorry if there is any mistake or wrong grammar, i'm not a native english speaker.
I really think this is a game. Older games like Atari ones sometimes were like this. My father has a MSX and it has a rpg game that is the same as this
I believe it can be considered a game because it's almost like visual novels and they are considered games
Mark's thinking is actually pretty good. Often times I keep thinking "noooooo" but it never turns out too bad. Maybe except for the hard hat lmao
I hope all of you reading this comment (If you find it deep in the comment section anyway) have a great Monday and a an even better week. Just know that you are always loved.
shenanidudes you are awesome
shenanidudes Thanks for the positive comment! Same to you!
Thanks dude. Needed to see a nice comment today. Hope you have a great week as well. :)
Bornstellar No thank you, we don't need your negativity here. (:
Bornstellar I don't get why you are being mean, they're just trying to make people feel better and you are not helping by being rude.
Mark, you need to voice some audio books ! ( If you haven't all ready). I could listen to you read all day.
"I am a brave boy"
"NOT BRAVE ENOUGH FOR THIS-"
When mark is reading its more soothing. But when he's talking about his choices he is just the casual mark. I love it
DENNIS LIIIIIIVE
Savanna Camerlinck Yes! I'm rooting for him!
Shadow_Owl242 he dies
Mohd Ahmed fuck off
a russian hacker dafaq is wrong wid u
Mohd Ahmed what's wrong with you? you're literally telling everyone for the fact that it annoys them
I really enjoy this so far. But I'm kinda sad that Marcus is the obvious "bad guy", I don't know... it just happens in every story like that. I really hope for a twist or something.
I REEALLY hope someone makes a movie about this.
I hope RandomEncounters does it
Chaos Controller if there is a book about this already let me know BECAUSE I WANT IT!!!
It would mean a great movie as long as the director and the actors don't fuck it up.
+Khul Dycane True with all the movies these days ill be surprised if it one of those really good movies to.
When Mark decides to close the door I was like... "THEY CAN WARP MATTER"
1) Never read comments of any video with a story first. 2) The fact that it slowed the creatures down more than the time to close the LOUD door (that in addition should have gotten their attention even faster) seems like a plot hole anyways. BONUS: My reaction when he chose to close the door still happened even when the video is over :O
AMY AND MAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK
omg yusXD
The Diamond Shard Yes but Mark tried to kill amy in the game lol
Yep. Didn't watch that part when I was typing this out.
OTP AF XD
Hannah Eddy thanks for spoiler..
1. Mark's voice and the story are perfect for each other! Both of them are amazing!
2. I just realised how Lovecraftian this story is, like, floating creatures from other dimensions, tentacles, light, deforming stuff, creatures that cannot be comprehended by human minds or would drive people insane just by looking at them, etc. That Is Seriously Lovecraftian! I Haven't Seen Good Lovecraftian Stuff For So Long!!! Man I Love This Game!!!
I am seriously enthralled with this story and can not wait until the next chapter comes out.
Yeeesssssss!! More or this great story and the ever greater reader!
Makayla Hartsell i know right?
Astonishing narration Mark, all those improv thinga-magjigs really paid off, your voice makes this game very eerie and gives me this feeling of seriousness/real-life scenario that no one else could do.
I love this game, it's like listening to Mark narrating an audiobook - speaking of which, Mark would be a good narrator for audiobooks...
IM WAITING FOR PART 4 HERE, i really love this series
meant part 4 hehe
It's so damn good I can't stand it! I need more!
HuskyCyberWolf I might be assuming quite a bit here, but... are you a furry? :3 If so then I automatically love you.
Grant Zolldan I am not a furry, lol, but i am a Therian. Very set in my ways might i add. I assume you are A furry or human?
StoneClaw You legitimately believe that you're a therian or part of said group? That's really interesting, truly. And yes, I am a furry, but I don't care for fursuits or anything of the sort. Mostly just the art.
Grant Zolldan Cool! and yes i do. My pack is moonclan, we currently inhabit a large chunk of forest in our area, composed of a large river and very small caves. My rank status is Beta. I just git back from a meeting as a matter of fact. XD
StoneClaw. Uhhhhh what?
me through all of this:dont die dennis...don't die dennis you're the best character in this story
*Dennis must **_live_*
This is like a buffet of tension and other feels. And I am savoring every atom of it.
I missed this you, Mark. Bring this back more often. I needed this.
Mark: "This one louder. *closer*."
Me: **inhuman sound straight from hell**
I just love tuning in for Storytime With Markiplier. lol. Seriously though, these choose your adventure style games/ stories are great and this one in particular is fascinating.
CC Dragonfly For real tho, he should have a playlist called, Story time with Mark.
I like when Mark uses his inside voice. 😁
Mark, your narrating is amazing! Definitely my favorite short series so far-this brought me back to your channel from a small break. I've been with you since 500k, it's been a long ride. It's insane to see how much you have grown.
This is literally my bed time story, I come from work and watch this.
Markiplier's videos are the best
yas and pewds too
Sean's as well
And Ethan's
especially sean's
SupaNintendoGirl aggred he's the only youtuber I've really kept up with for about 5 years
i am seriously f**king terrified of this, i hope this isnt based off of something real
It wouldn't be government wouldnt let it free
Can we just have Mark narrate everything? No matter what? Like every book, every movie, every Lego animation, every cartoon ever?
This would also make a good book that I might want to read. On of those book that you go to different pages for different endings that be cool
ew reading
But it's not your average horror book you can create your own ending by the choices you've chosen
Gameing Willow Tell us if you remember what it is called.
I know that your comment is months old but those types of books were called "Choose Your Own Adventure". :)
it's been a while since a game had me so terrified. i was literaly on the edge of my seat the ENTIRE time after you entered level 3. i absolutely love this game to bits ♥
It's not really a game
A narrative game, no?
Omg mark and Amy ! That's actually freaktastic !! I can only imagine how weird you feel playing this . You need to do more like this . Your voice is comforting or intense depending on your dialogue . Thumbs up buddy !
as im noting Mark's choices, ive noticed how passive he is. he notes others emotions in the story and what works best, big guy Dennis likes comfort and validation, Marcus needs a mix of aggression and passive voice.
INTERACTIVE THEATER!
Mark, I'm loving that you adapt your style of let's plays to the mood of the game. This is something that not many youtubers can do. I can't imagine any other youtuber presenting this game in the same way you are: You read the story with intensity and stay away from commenting on it. The only times you comment are when given choices. This shows a great maturity and confidence in your craft.
Jack would feel the need to comment on parts of the story while reading it ("No! Don't go the fuck back to that room! I'm just a little boy!"), because he gets uncomfortable when it's just the game and him. I love him but he feels a need to speak to the audience, or make a joke, or a random comment (hair in his eyes) at least once every ten seconds...Which is fine for his style, and what the fans expect...
But you have taken this game to the level of a theater experience, but still involve the viewers when a choice is pending and explain your mindset at the time...
This series really feels like interactive theater and I feel like I'm watching you as a player upon the stage of the game but without a script...
AND THAT IS FUCKING AWESOME THEATER!
I'm not usually into storyline games but omg please keep going with the game.
Whatever you do don't stop. I'm on the edge and I seriously need to see the next episode because watching this is more fun than actually playing it to me.
You're awesome Mark 😋
"Close those damn doors* *screams* I CHIME IN WITH A HAVEN'T YOU PEOPLE EVER HEARD OF, CLOSING THE GODDAMN DOOR, NO! *dances away singing*
whenever i listen to this i can only imagine the characters with marks voice
DO PART 4!!! All his fans!! Say it with me: PART 4! PART 4! PART 4!
TheBlueAnimeGamer PART 4 PART 4!!!!!!!
I love that I've read things grosser than the description of the bodies was. Like, it's fantastic horror right there!!! I really love this game and hope you finish it out!!! :D
This game has some good body-horror, but some of the best I've read is in the web-series Worm. The author has a way of describing things extremely well and when he wants to create terrifying characters he has an amazing ability to do just that.
Does anyone else think that those 'monsters' are actually what's left of his crew mutated by the explosion at their site? Or is it just me?
Evelyn Wright That's actually a nice theory I haven't seen before
Evelyn Wright wow, I would have never thought of that. Impressive
Maybe the "light explosions" enveloped the crew members. Remember when Dennis explained how he heard "static" sounds "like a radio".
Then again, circular holes in the ground near base? Sounds like somebody may have accidentally cut out some dirt when teleporting somebody.
sillykola50 a
I came back to this series and only now saw this comment. It's a really nice theory, but there were at least 3 of those entities, and only 2 of the crew missing, Frank and Joe.
Also interesting that leaving Dennis behind upstairs would have been a better decision. As now he is being left behind on the floor as the creatures attacking the facility. Had he been left upstairs there are no known creatures up there.
49 minutes of THIS game!!! Mark you spoil us
I'm kinda worried about what Marcus would do if he made it to Dennis.
That seems to be the only problem with keeping Marcus alive.
7:11 Grandpa black-goo, is that you? Is that a corpse in your pocket (dimension) or are you just happy to see me?
Aww it's not grandpa black-goo
Idk about anyone else, but this is one of those stories that I feel like could be made into a pretty decent scifi thriller movie
I have a theory: From what I know about distortions in space-time, I'm thinking that those "creatures" or "entities" are possibly less living and more caused by the ripple that were created there from teleporting rats. To explain how they are drawn to people and to noise, it could be that those ripples in space time are drawn to the ripples and waves that noise basically is and the living functions such as emitting heat, noise, and high amounts of activity in the human body. Also, when Mark shot at the "creature", it slowed and distorted a little. The distortion is natural due to the bullet passing through it, and since it is not a physically stable structure that holds together as one unit, it isn't affected very much. However, it is clearly slowed a little bit. This might be because of the ripples of noise that the bullet created through it. It slows because of its attraction to itself from the bullet passing through it, but in the end, draws towards Amy and Roger anyways. Finally, to explain how it's attracted to ripples and such, I would explain it like bubbles in a cup or bowl. The bubbles in water or other tend to draw to the sides. This could be the same concept of attraction of ripple to ripple here.
But you know, just a theory :D
Anna Chen A GAME THEORY!
Thanks for watching.
oh wow... thats really good i did not expect this kind of comment here.
and it makes perfect sense.
hey if anyone has seen doctor who you sounded a lot like the doctor especially with the cup example. And I really like your theory it's very interesting. 👍👍
Anna Chen Every time you use that word, *ripple* it reminds me of nipples.
A Game Theory! XD
Seriously tho, that's a really good theory. I wish I could make theories like that, but all I can think of now is Lovecraft. I guess it would make sense that this game is Lovecraftian, but, oh well.
I can't think of a better person to narrate this than Mark. I love his readings like this. I wish he did more of these :-)
ClassyPanda 337 Cryaotic would be amazing at narrating this.
Megashark 101 Not sure who that is, but I will check him out
I wish that there was a temporary playlist that only exists while you are watching to it, and would basicaly act like autoplay, but you can browse youtube on one part of the screen and add to the playlist that deletes itself after x time once it's over
I fell asleep to this video last night, waking from a bizarre, yet incredible dream several hours later. I couldn't help but watch it again later today in anticipation for the next chapter. This is such a fun looking narrative game, and I like the choices you made along the way.
i love marks voice, its very calming to me
Yes perfect for a sick day
Nothing beats sinking into such a deep and immersive world and forget the real world for a little while. =D
Icheesea T. 😋
Icheesea T. Me too! Unfortunately is also a snow day and i can't enjoy it.
Photobunce keep warm :)
I really fucking wish I could see one of the monsters
IKR... i'm having a really hard time trying to visualize what they look like, or maybe thats what the creator'e purpose is?
Chronzillo P. McTitties Try to visualize a Warper from Subnautica, but made of light with a blackhole effect around them and that they jerk time to time whenever they move
Helix Berry thank
You're not supposed to know what they look like because they exist in a dimension that the human mind can't comprehend. That's why all of the characters suck at giving explanations of what they see.
PurpleShield Gaming You're right, but IF you were to give a liable description of them, then thats what i thought would be a good example.
This is such an experience so far. I want to buy this just to have it and support the dev tbh. This is amazing.
I love this game, and longer episodes.. GOOOSH YES
Do more of these types of games they are the best to listen to before you go to sleep
This is an amazing and captivating interactive piece of story-telling. I'm greatly enjoying this adventure, and I, for one, can hardly wait for more.
this is by far the most engaging and enthralling video series Markiplier has done to date. I have spent countless hours going through other long let's plays and this is amazing. Please do more of these
The first 6 comments I've seen have been Fakeipliers and people begging for subs or likes.
COME ON!
What happened to funny comments or people pointing out things. Not it's just bots and fakers, or people going "First". This is a great video, and yet the comment section is just a collection of people vying for attention. 😞 It just makes me so sad.
Nick Sherer I do like the firsts tho csuse it's always fun to be first the other type of videos annoy me though
I agree. It's sad,this is a great video. I don't understand why people advertise on this channel,I guess it's worth getting reported.
Nick Sherer So true
Nick Sherer IKR! I reported 9 fakipliers! Like REALLY?!?!?
Nick Sherer I feel sorry for you... I also would like the comments to be funny and cool
It's like half life mixed with scp containment breach and poured into a book.
Plus the rat went to a new mexico lab. Black mesa?
And the bodies act like their in the source engine
AKA
Half-Life 3 confirmed.
truly yes 0-0
and its more equally terrifying o-o
Why don't they ever bring up the GIANT LIGHT that burst from the ground?
Mark. Please complete this series man. My life it on hold now awaiting the rest of the story. Keep up the great work.
