      Interesting headcannon, but apparently that Angler Fish or whatever it be, kills you on your way to take the last important picture. So essentially it is programmed to kill the player when they only have one important picture left to take. So it could literally kill you in the important picture in the middle of the ocean, the same one it can appear in. So maybe it just doesn't like pictures being taken, especially its picture. XD

      So a giant flash of light, done whenever a picture is taken, must be like being hit in the face by a flashbang for some.

    22:34 that achievement if for photographing the upper right anomaly. The game ends and the jumpscare plays when you attempt to photograph your 9th node, whatever node that may be (you can never photograph more than 8 anomalies), and the upper right is *usually* last, especially on the first playthrough. Hence, "You've Played this Before" you know about the jumpscare, and wanted to know what the "last" photograph was.

    Interesting thing. In last vid Mark mentioned something like "all people on earth wouldn't be enough to fill this ocean with blood". After that I got interested and made some calculations. I don't have any data on in-game ocean of blood on this moon, so I used Pacific Ocean on Earth instead. So, to fill Pacific Ocean with blood, if it's drained somehow, you'd need to exsanguinate approximately 1.34*10^18 adult human beings. Its like, 1.34 billions of billions. And it's 168.686.463 times earth population. Then I was bored and calculated how it'd affect our Moon's trajectory relative to earth, since blood is a bit heavier than water, but its not that impressive - moon would get just 0.0009% closer.
    Edit: obviously, ocean in-game is, probably, much smaller than Pacific, since it's located on some moon and moons tend to be smaller than planets. It's just that this theme caught my interest. Someone call me if we'll get information on this ocean's volume, and I'll adjust numbers to get proper data applicable for this particular ocean
    Edit again: I've been trying to answer your questions and making more calculations under this comment, but there's too many of you, people. You're on your own now. Look for formulas in answers to this comment.

      Further they _say_ it's human blood, but from their own records there's not enough humans to fill even a pond, let alone a moon. So what if the blood is the _same_ as human blood, (chemical makeup) that somehow is created on these 4 moons? The earth can create various liquids, so what's to say other places couldn't make something similar to human blood in makeup? And it doesn't congeal so it must not be totally like human blood....

    Plot for Iron Lung : There are 2 Remaining Factions in The Universe after The Quiet Rapture happened. You are playing as a Captured Member of Eden, The Remains of an Old Martian Colony established before The Rapture. You are forced by The Coalition of Iron (C.O.I) to do research on Moon At-5 or die. The Protagonist chooses this and writes the letter on the floor of the submarine as a way to vent his frustrations and how if he's going to go out, he might aswell go out on his own terms. In The Depths of The Unknown Ocean instead of The Vast Emptiness of Space. The Coalition actually sent a Research Vessel down there before The Player but it crashed and they're now just scrapping everything together to try to make sense of This Blood Ocean Anomaly. It is also confirmed that The Blood seems to be of Human Origin. The Game Assets also suggest that there was some kind of ancient cult like civilization once inside The Blood Ocean. There are remains of buildings/temples, weird monoliths, wormholes, and giant bones. It was a theory that this specific civilization casted a ritual that made it so that every star, habitable planet, and (presumably) everyone on it vanishes from existence. Also a point of note is that NO ONE watched or found out about The Quiet Rapture before many days after it supposedly happened. First, it was Radio Silence before a few ships was sent to investigate to find the remains of an empty void. There's also hidden secret assets in The Game which is either a leak for The Dev's Newest Unrelated Game or a Sequel/Prequel to expand The Universe of Iron Lung (though that is highly unlikely)

    I really like the "ghost light of dead stars" thing. Like the stars aren't there. But they're light years away so you won't "see" them disappear until their light stops reaching you years from now. If this happened to us right now, we wouldn't see any star besides our sun disappear for over 4 years.

    • @Oliver-wv4bd
      @Oliver-wv4bd 6 месяцев назад +22

      And what's scarier is that first the Sun would go out ~8 minutes after the rapture (as seen from Earth), then nothing would happen for 4 years, until suddenly Proxima Centauri disappears, then another star, and then another after that, and every few years we'd see stars flicker out of existence and our night sky gradually grow darker and lonlier and colder with no way of ever knowing why they abandoned us.

      I'm an artist and it's so annoying when people compare my bird characters to Pokemon even though they don't look alike. Like I have a bird with a red body and rainbow flight feathers and a rainbow crown of feathers on its head (like it's ACTUALLY rainbow). For some reason people compare it to Ho-Oh even though:
      The body is not the same
      The legs are not the same
      The head shapes are different
      The feathers on the head are different
      The color of the wings is different
      The tails are different
      The body feathers are different
      The beaks are not the same
      The eyes are not the same
      The body markings are not even slightly similar
      Yet because it's a bird with a red body, it's automatically Ho-Oh. Even though the color red and being a bird are the only things similar (and Ho-Oh isn't even actually rainbow like mine is).

    The thing is, that obelisk that emits that weird groaning noise was already in the game before this lore update. So I find it curious that the game would be updated for “lore” but there still isn’t any clue as to what the obelisk even is.
    The only detail I noticed, and this is something Mark pointed out but I don’t think actually connected these dots, is that there are two “buildings” that look the same in this ocean and they both have an obelisk nearby. The difference is the one closer to the start point is silent, while the one at the end of the game is emitting noise. What this means, I have no idea. But it seems like an important detail to note.

    The most interesting thing about it if I remember correctly is that at one point it spat out an exploration log which chronicled the travels of a group of SCP foundation staff within the SCP (or perhaps on the other side of it), having entered the lake and re-emerged in another bigger lake in a different world than Earth.

    So, considering this whole "silent rapture" bit, hear me out.
    The perspective is from those who have suddenly seen a disappearance or perhaps "extraction" of all planets that could potentially preserve life.
    What if, in fact, the event occured ONLY to those who were involved in this iron and steel company, and not to those on Mars or Eden?
    Perhaps from the perspective of planets that had life and Eden itself, they observed the sudden disappearance of those involved with the iron and steel coalition?
    That would mean a cosmic event moved that coalition and their operatives from normal time and space, and those experiencing these blood oceans are more experiencing their sudden movement OUTSIDE of normal time and space to barren space?
    For those who remember Steven King's movie, "The Langoliers", that is the sort of thing I'm mentioning, to a degree.

Not only is the text expertly written (written in a way where it gives you all the info you need without a HUGE wall of text), but the ambiance is made incredibly well and the game itself built in such a smart way. While I LOVE this game, though, I hope the developer doesn't continue to add onto it. I hope they go and either make games in the same rich universe as it or create something entirely new. They're incredibly talented and I can't wait to see what they come up with next.

    This game has such an interesting universe, I really hope the dev adds to it in future. I also hear a theory that the blood oceans are the people that got raptured being used to fill the caves but I really dont think its the case. Its obvious that the oceans have been around for a long time as the ecosystems in them have adapted to living in blood. A more plausible theory is that where the planets and stars disappeared to, the blood moons came from and "switched places" from an alternate dimension either by some kind of dimensionally instability or ritualistic event. Maybe this alternate dimension (if it is the case) was dying/was at the end of its life cycle so the life forms that lived in it used a ritual to bring it back to life by stealing the stars and to also get resources from all the planets.

As stated in the sm-8 log, there are 4 subs. sm-8 was the good one and was destroyed by whatever creature(s) inhabit this ocean. So as part of your conviction realization, you got the shitty sub. Searching for answers, resources, something. Given that you are a prisoner, they wouldn't care if you died.
    As to why at-5 had a redacted entry, I'm guessing it's just so "you" cannot find out that there are horrible monsters on this moon until it's too late

    I love that we're learning more about the state of the universe after the Quiet Rapture, such planets being stripped of their flora and fauna.
    And I'm pretty surprised at the similarities between Iron Lung and SCP-354 (exploration included). Wouldn't be surprised if it was inspired by the SCP

    I'm starting to think here. What if instead of the _planets and stars_ vanishing, instead the _space stations and other asteroids_ did?

      @@conraderson9121 He means to state that, rather than all of the stars and such simply vanishing, all of humanities machinery outside of earths orbit was “phased” out of our universe and into one that is the exact same right down to the position of the stars and most of the planets, except in this universe, all life just doesn’t exist. No light, no life, no resources. Earth is still there, we just can’t see it because it’s on the other side of a dimensional barrier. I’d be willing to wager that that warbling thing Mark photographs is a portal leading back out into our universe.
      Or, more terrifyingly, it doesn’t lead to our universe, but rather another, with life that is so far from friendly that even breathing near them would warrant a mauling even the most determined bear would blanch at.

      @@TheCorrodedMan Oh no i got that, i’m just saying that the fact that there is still light from now vanished stars means that that’s not what happened. That is unless all the light in the universe got “phased” away with all the machinery, but that seems like a strange inclusion. The fact that they can still “see” stars through their lingering starlight either disproves this theory or makes it far more complicated, as now you have to include other seemingly arbitrary things in the “phasing”.

    The way that the creature looks directly into the camera suggests to me that whatever it is must be highly intelligent and aware of you and what you're doing. I feel like it might be some kind of Lovecraftian cosmic entity that may be responsible for the Quiet Rapture.

      It's more likely an animal. Animals observe things they aren't familiar with. Seeing what, by all accounts should be a predator in its midst, not react when getting up close to it, it's probably just sussing you out before attacking
      Hell some animals wait till their prey is literally touching them before they strike
      I prefer to think that the monster can't see. An ocean of blood, it probably evolved to survive without sight, because it would be virtually visionless in the depths

The exploration log was suddenly found inside of their database, and the names mentioned don’t exist on any foundation registries. Some people think that the lake itself created the log in the hopes of fooling the foundation and making them leave it alone.
