      @@chee.rah.monurB to give you a sense of how large this map is. An average map is somewhere between 50-200 megabytes. (MB), Some maps that he has played on (GM_liminal_hotel, and GM_liminal_space) are 150MB and 63MB respectively. The default gm_construct is something like 10-20mbs. So this map is 1800MB, 10 to 20 times larger than most "detailed" maps.
      Garrys mod itself is only 5 gigabytes (5000MB) so this map alone is aprox. 1/3 the size of the entire garrys mod game.
      The map is absolutely massive.

    41:28 had an experience like this with my family when I was 10 we went to a restaurant at like 9pm after driving around the whole day. We went in cashier took our order we went and as seating wasnt a problem cus we were the only people there besides the 2 or so employees we sat down in a booth in the back corner. Dad was called up to get our food and we ate for like 15 to 20 minutes. As we left me, my sister, and dad wanted to refill our sodas so walked over to the counter. Nobody was there. We could see most if not all of the kitchen and nobody was in there either. All the lights were still on so my dad called out into the kitchen if anyone was still around. No response. Went home and even as we pulled out nobody came out of the kitchen as far as I could see from my view of the front window of the building. Shit really creeped me out and I found out the place shut down like a month later.

    It's crazy when done right a Gmod map has the power to mess with your mind and genuinely creep you out at times.
    The old "retro realism" from the more gritter source games like Half-Life 2 makes it all the more uncanny when you look back at them considering they haven't aged too well, not horribly bad by any means but it's in this weird grey area where everything just becomes a little too uncomfortable, especially when a lot of Gmod maps have these open empty spaces inside buildings.

    I think the gun feeling comes from the fact that in video games if you don't have a weapon you feel way more vulnerable but if you do you know in the back of your mind that you can overcome whatever you're facing that or maybe it's a part of human nature where having a weapon gives you focus in tense situations.

    • @fa1176

    • @Nooke95
      @Nooke95 3 года назад +5

      Might also relate to solving the ambiguity that fear often stems from: with a gun in hand, you're portraying the actions of someone ready to defend themselves in dangerous territory. In other words, no weapon makes it unclear whether the area is safe or unsafe, while a weapon makes it certain to be unsafe. And so, the lessening of tension is from your brain no longer having to be on edge to determine which scenario out of the two is more likely.

    • @tachrayonic2982
      @tachrayonic2982 3 года назад +5

      This also reminds me of the book, Robert A. Heinlein's "Tunnel in the Sky". At the start of the adventure, a few schools of young adults are completing their interplanetary survival test, in which they will teleport to another planet and must survive for 2 weeks while travelling to a separate teleport site to return. (I think it was 2 weeks?)
      The person we're following is strongly recommended not to take a firearm with them by their mentor, advice which they begrudgingly follow, and upon reaching the planet they are terrified and being as sneaky as possible because of it. But they did reasonably well to survive.
      Had they brought a firearm, they might have confronted the unknown instead, or at least not have paid as much attention to covering their tracks, and got themselves killed. Someone else sure did.
      Also the warning about the nasty creature on the planet, the 'Stobor' was a nice touch. Definitely a good read.

      @GikamesShadow 3 года назад +16

      Honestly, as another viewer pointed out already, thats mostly due to the fear of the unknown.
      A lot of horror games play with it only to some degree where it cant fully become fear of the unknown but instead fear of being helpless. Both are very similar but only one can truly terrify you.
      In NH2 you are at first somewhat helpless but the situations arent impossible to be survived.
      Then later you get a gun and... yea the horror part is kinda out of the window by that point.
      Then lets take Outlast and Outlast 2 for example as well where you cant fight back at all. You are helpless but you somewhat know whats coming for you.
      Its horrifying till you know you can hide and they cant get you.
      But take an empty city, an eerie athmosphere and the background knowledge of a plague having happened of likely the zombie kind?
      Who knows what could lurk behind the next tree, car or door.
      You dont, I dont, he doesnt, no one does. AND THAT is the beauty of fear of the unknown. The fact that not a single one of us will know whats coming next.
      And I HATE IT xD

    The different inspirations and vibes this map had in it's creation is truly interesting. Out in the (I guess) country side across from the bridge everything just has such a Day Z feeling crossed a tiny bit with Alan Wake. The geography of the area and the eastern European assets like the trains just makes it feel ripped right out of Stalker through and through. Then though once you get to the city everything is much more Left 4 Dead feeling with a very American styled city in complete chaos the way Left 4 Dead levels portray that exact disarray, and frankly the reused Left 4 Dead assets only adds to this. But then once you have the map figured out out of nowhere the map just goes fully Silent Hill in places like the morgue, the underground, the apartments, and the church with insane metallic architecture and rusting on everything that is completely ripped out of the otherworld while the church and apartments feel like something in the fog world. It's just so out of nowhere given the rest of the normal-ish map.

    Something that really gets me in creepy settings like this is ambiance with low, pulsing bass drones, like in the facility around 31:40 onwards. Especially if it sounds vaguely music-like, but not entirely - sort of a phonic uncanny valley effect, also giving off a feeling like the place you're in is somehow alive, and you're hearing the beating of some incomprehensible heart it might have.

    Usually RP maps don't have any major jumpscares or triggered events, if they do it's mostly in easter eggs.

It is a sickly shade, calling to mind craven fear, shattering madness, and the unstoppable march of the grave." Ever since I read that entry I notice those darker shades of yellow in all sorts of horror works, from the backrooms to that scene in Insidious Ch 2 where they find the secret room with all the corpses. Dingy yellow is just this unsettling color of decrepitude and forgotten spaces, its a color I can smell; dusty and musty like an old library or bookstore.

It will run 4k textures, run VR, uses hyperdynamic lighting, is the founder of HDR, and HL2 Lost Coast SHIPPED WITH RAY TRACING in 2005 (before ray tracing was truly implemented into HL2 for EP1.
    it in itself is an enigma. its a game, but its able to play 4k textures, and you can remake full on MW2 scenarios. why is this surprising? there is no game out there at Gmod's level of content, community, and 3rd party deving.

    See?... That wasn't so scary, now. Was it?... Sometimes those creepy objects still get behind you, especially, when you turn your back to them... Oh... That "second" crow, as you referred to it as, was actually a raven, which are common to the UK. You reminded me a lot of Barnie fife, when you dropped that live grenade. You were wound tighter than a violin, just ready to snap. Really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing it. :)

    I'm literally watching this in my room, and with the lights off. The scary noises and the paranoia just filling me with fear, with nothing but a feeling of something about to pop up. It scared me so much I had a tear. When he entered the morgue, it was so unsettling because of all of the dead bodies. I've never felt so much of being a pussy after watching this. But overall thanks for the video bro, really unsettling but that's the point. I don't know why but I like videos like this.

    1:16:20 The fear of this can be called Megalophobia, fear of giant objects and structures, But I also think it goes with the fog, Cause it makes it look bigger and the fog is hiding something or a part of this object.

    It’s fascinating how exploring such a large map can still come across as unnerving and terrifying, without anything actually coming to get you the whole time. Playing in VR only makes the experience better. I was on edge just by watching.

    I've been slowly watching these gmod exploration videos for a week now and I gotta say: so far this one has the highest number of quotes that belong on a cross stitch

    This map seems to be built for people that have Megalophobia (fear of large objects), Homichlophobia (fear of fog), and sorta Nosophobia (the fear of contracting a disease or plagues in general).

    Man I’m loving these videos! It’s crazy the amount of talent some of these map builders have. The underground portion was very unsettling. I was feeling the same way as you when you said you wanted to just get out. Can’t imagine what that felt like in VR. Such a good map! Hope you do more of these videos where your just exploring and taking your time. Something about it is very relaxing and spooky at the same time

    1:02:17 just by this part alone
    the barricade with the piles of bodies
    make me think the map takes place after a zombie apocalypse.
    the bodies look in very bad shape and the barricade have sand bags placed (i think its sand i dont know much about army stuff)
    indicating that guns where set up there at some point.

      Probably used a chain gun of some sort only to find that he’s out of ammunition

    • @crashmasterj0837
      @crashmasterj0837 2 года назад

      And yes whilst sandbag barricades are okay for using guns but it’s not always a indicator for weapons like that. Concrete barriers work just as well especially vs melee targets

      Less of a chance to have your barricade fall apart when they start to overrun the place

    the videos you produce are genius , the detail of explanation and description of feelings and emotions really make the videos extremely entertaining
