- This is the story of Moirai, A game no one can play anymore. It was created by Australian Indie Game developer Chris Johnson. Popularised on RUclips by channels such as Markiplier and Jacksepticeye in late 2016 the game took off on Steam. All was going well until someone took poorly to the game success.

Hey everyone! Thanks so much for the really nice comments! Bit surprised at the amount of traction this video has gotten as of late!
I am working on a new video as I type and hope to have it out very soon!
You guys are pretty neat! ❤
Thats the youtube algorythm for ya, never a clue what tiny video it blows up next.
wow I expected this channel to have a few hundred thousand subscribers, but no! this is really well made, good luck with growing your channel and getting the attention you deserve.
i saw my brother play this
Perhaps this video's content is a crossroad of search terms and interests that together trigger the algorithm.
If you take a look at steam, the dev has plans to try to bring it back. Fingers crossed dudes.
I'm proud that I was able to play it before it got taken offline. I remember laughing when the previous player started talking about eating a really good jam sandwich and that's why there was moaning.
A man of priorities
wait is it possible for multiple players to get the same guy? I remember getting this exact answer in my playthrough, that was priceless
@@macbredbredd372 maybe it was copied from the original one

I wish there was a remake of Moirai tbh, if only that dude didn't get hold of it and ruined it for all of us just to get noticed by the dev...
There is one on roblox
@@Sozcel This i've gotta see
@- im trying to send a link but youtube auto deletes it. its called norns by someone named saywhoom
@@dirtydan9785 its called norms
@@Sozcel Nice, thank you homie
I still have my email.
As you left the cave you were confronted by a farmer called MrCherrypieguy. They asked you three questions.
The first question that was asked was:
I heard moans, what have you done?
To which you responded:
I have done nothing, I'm getting help.
The second question that was asked was:
Why do you have blood on your overalls?
To which you responded:
A woman spat blood at me.
The third question that was asked was:
Why do you have a knife?
To which you responded:
It was given to me by a man at the front.
After hearing your answers MrCherrypieguy decided to let you pass. This seems appropriate as you let the previous farmer, warlust, walk past despite being covered in blood.
And that draws an end to your involvement in this story. Thank you for playing.
what email was that email from? would make it easier for me to search thru my emails to find it
Same.
As you left the cave you were confronted by a farmer called Gabe. They asked you three questions.
The first question that was asked was:
I heard moans, what have you done?
To which you responded:
I ended her suffering, that poor woman.
The second question that was asked was:
Why do you have a knife?
To which you responded:
It is dangerous down here, the farmers brother lent it to me, same as you.
The third question that was asked was:
Why do you have blood on your overalls?
To which you responded:
I found a woman at the end of the cave, she was suffering from a suicide attempt.
After hearing your answers Gabe decided to let you pass. This was quite a foolish act considering that you were covered in blood from the killing of the previous farmer, Oliver.
And that draws an end to your involvement in this story. Thank you for playing.

The absolute gall on the troll to harass a game dev and then say to them "I make games too, you should play mine!".
@Your Mums Co-Worker hopefully nobody knows, they deserve no attention
@Your Mums Co-Worker Your "friends" have poor taste.
Exactly why the hacker/dev deserves no attention.
@@thejunktownsheriffkilliand4800he deserves kiwi farms attention
in all fairness they typed like a 12 year old kid, nothing really good can come of harassing em, just hope they learned from it and moved on and assuming they did make a game i hope he keeps doing it
That hacker is such a loser. Instead of spending their time working on their own game, they made it their mission to bring someone else's low. Even so, Moirai went down in history as a cool game with an interesting concept at its core, and the hacker is only known for ruining the fun.
Which isn't a loss for the Hacker who wanted attention. The hacker very clearly won.
It is why people are so helpless against trolls, they don't understand any positive or negative outcome makes trolls happy if it gets trolls attention. They win no matter what.
@@Buglin_Burger7878 people that need attention like that already lost at life
@@Aaron-hv4hr so true
@@Buglin_Burger7878 That is mental illness. When trolling becomes hacking and tampering with real life, it's not trolling.
@@Buglin_Burger7878 Well. It's pretty difficult to ignore closure. Man woulda probably been regretting not confronting him in some way if he hadn't. As it was, he kept himself at about as much distance as he could while still getting it. Can't begrudge him for acting human.
The fact that the hacker responded similarly as to how Moirai worked was funny.
i found it infantile, therefore it was infantile
@@alexanderleonardi3625 True. Dude probably is such an annoying person irl.
No. Definitely no. It was more of a publicity stunt.
@@thejunktownsheriffkilliand4800 and yet we have no idea who they are
He's an asshole. Destroys his game and makes people hate him, only to then rub the salt into the wounds.
im absolutely mortified with the hacker's responses. jesus christ.
I don't understand why they said it or why they did it. Were they really a child, or just some kind of narcissistic manchild?
Yeah normally only sane and well adjusted people do stuff like that
How are you that surprised by what he did it's normal middle school student behavior
@@thorn9382 What are you trying to say?
@@rieldebonk1044 Pretty sure he's stating the age tested fact that middle schoolers aren't fully developed and you shouldn't _expect_ rational decision making from them.
I played morai before it blew up, back when I was young and couldn't afford games so I would play any free game steam had released to try and cope with boredom having played all the other free games that were fun and getting frustrated by ones that were pay to win. my first encounter was fairly unique because when I asked the man why he was covered in blood, he said it was because he slaughtered the sheep outside, I didn't believe him and killed him. the game hand-locked you in so I played it a second time. and sure enough once you got the knife you could go back outside and slaughter the sheep. when I went back through I used the same excuse, and also died... karma.
I too, had played moirai, It was when i was very young too, around 6-7, I did not know much english at the time and i basically played free games like you, and i just walked around for a bit and got bored, then uninstalled it, thankfully i still have it in my steam library, i havent got around to playing it though.
@@holster4 "i havent got around to playing it though." I have some bad news for you buddy
@@pinkliongaming8769 i dont really want to play it since i know that its been hacked, but im assuming the game is down?
otherwise i dont know what the bad news is and i dont really mind
@@holster4 did you not watch the video that this comment's section is attached to?
@@Axodus Or read the title. Heck how tf did they get here?
Man this is actually sad I randomly thought of this game after years
same
I wonder if the reason this guy took it upon himself to troll the dev is cuz he was mad he didn't get the attention he thinks he deserves for his game. I mean it makes sense that at a time of early RUclips Let's Plays someone immature could get salty over a game getting hyped up by Let's Plays
Instead of reaching out to youtubers, the hacker decided to ruin someone else's game. That's just sad.
I love these little cryptic games. I'm a small dev myself, and having something like this happen would be awful.. I could only imagine how bullshit it was
I'd just like to add that the developer chris made a steam discussion post on the moirai steam page asking how best he could monetise the game. He wants to bring it back but is unsure how to generate money for server costs etc. I wonder if that was a result of this video gaining traction?
I really hope so!!
Any response yet?
I love the response of "What did you think of the game?" There was a lot of questions he could've asked relating to why the hacker did it or who they were and plenty of emotionally charged responses that may have involved some foul language but instead he just asks a simple question. I may be looking too deep into it but to me it reads as Chris treating the hacker like just another player, not giving the attention that the hacker said they were looking for.
The best weapon against a troll is indifference.
It was such a beautiful example of a game that was more about the journey and experience then about complex mechanics or graphics.
Certainly a rare gem.
The hacker is exactly why we can't have nice things.
Its such a shame, Chris didn't deserve the shit he got for taking a day to spend with family. He didn't know it was going to blow up like that nor did he expect some dickbag ruining it for everyone else. The concept of the game and answers coming from other players was awesome.
My friends told me to play Moirai ages ago. But at the time, I was especially paranoid about possible hacks or viruses or whatever, so I never did play it. Now, I really wish I did.
How ironic that the game went offline due to a hacker.
I got a group of friends to play it and I remember us joking that this is the most elaborate email scam they have ever played
You didn't miss much of anything. This video makes a pretty low quality experience feel very mystifying.
@@turnkey_hole It would've been, is the thing.
@@Onemario-1234 it would have been what?
You know you're about to have a terrible conversation online when the starting line is an stateless "Hello"
"I just maliciously crashed your game and potentially ruined your reputation. But you should totally play my game."
I was searching for this game for ages, didn’t know what happened to it. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed! 😀
its sad what happened, i was an early player and what people did to a great experience for so many people was just wrong, and i wish i had spotted the hacker signs early enough to warn him back then since he did msg with a few of the loyal re-playing early followers.
“I heard moaning, what have you done?”
“Doo doo fard”
Absolutely glad I played the game before it blew up. Honestly it's a game I wish everyone could've experienced for themselves.
This reminds me of Journey where you can play with people but you have zero control over it. You cant communicate with them and they only pop in randomly. You can only work together to play the game
I hope Chris is still making games and that hacking deal didn't kill his passion for making them
Based hacker destroying that shitty pixel game
Im sad that this small and great game was ruined by some guy. At least we still have the memories
most mature person ever to talk to a person who hacked their game
Wow! I was surprised to see you only had a few hundred subscribers, this video was more professional and well written than a lot of the 20k ones
I always wondered what happened with this game. I still have the email I got for beating it in 2014, I lied about having killed a zombie and was let out.
I’d hate to be the last guy who played this and never got an email
Thanks for sharing! I never heard of this one or had a chance to try it. I hope the hacker fails utterly at their own game development dreams, what a jerk.
Thank you for watching! It’s a shame a lot of people are only finding out about it now! But at least you got to hear the story I guess!
@@OddlySean It sounds like a really unique idea. I'm glad you have documented it.
I clicked this because I thought this was a space station 13 video from the thumbnail, but i'm not disappointed I did
Thank you! That’s a really sweet comment!
quality content, tbh surprised how few subs you have. Keep up the great work man
Thank you so much! I’m glad this video is hitting RUclips’s recommended section atm! I’m working on a new video too so be on the look out!
@@OddlySean the algorithm is on your side 😄
Good times. I blamed Trolls that live in the Cave. Next guy fell for it too.
That's sad, i remember watching some youtubers play this and thinking it was very cool
I just rewatched Markiplier's video about this game^^
I remember watching this years ago and thinking I should play it once I get a PC.... And this is how I'm reminded of it....
The fact that the hacker took over the game to get the dev's attention and then say "You should play my games" makes all of this even worse.
Great video, Moirai definitely could be brought back assuming someone decompiled the game or got the source code. It seems like the servers would be cheap to host.
Apparently it’s a Roblox game now called Norns
Oh this is cool, tell him to put it back up
🫡
And this, ladies and gentlemen is why the internet is a curse not a blessing.
that hacker was a pos and the real corn kernel on top was the "im a game developer too! you should play my game"
Amazing video I’ve always wondered what happened to this game.
Your so underrated your content is amazing! Keep up the good work
Imagine someone entering the answers not realizing anyone else would see it
He just needed to run the server in seasons, going dormant once issues are detected and restarting with a wipe at the beginning of the next season.
No kidding I've recently had strange flashbacks of this game existing, but I couldn't for the life of me recall what it was called. Something about it made such an unsettling imprint on my memory.
That was such a perfect ending. Great video!
loool this vid's gonna take off a year after it was posted, good stuff
why did this show up in my recommended
*1 year after it's release?*
Not sure why! But I hope you enjoyed it! :)
@@OddlySean i did! you're underrated!
New memory unlocked i think markiplier played it or something
I had no idea the game was gone. Just tried opening it again on steam, it opened but you can't play it, it just says the game is no longer available for play. Well atleast I played it when it was still a thing, and now I have a cool rare game in my library.
I'm lucky to have experienced it when it was still up.
It truly was a one of a kind
I hope that troll never gets the attention they desire.
give. this. man. more. subs. Really good explanation and commentary. love it
I've just realised that "Moirai" sounds like russian "Мой рай" - "My heaven/paradise" 💀
I remember playing this, it truly felt special and like something new, in fact I still have the e-mail. When I heard that it got hacked, I was a bit sad for a moment. Good memories, also good video!
Wow, I'd totally forgotten about this game. I still have the email from when I played it back in 2016. Hard to imagine it's been that long. Cool video.
I remember watching mark play this back in the day, good stuff.
For a long time I thought it was made by the same people who made "I'm scared".
I know the person who got the game taken down, and there's a lot of misinformation/superstition surrounding the method used to fill the database. There weren't "servers" used to host entries; it was a single SQL database that anyone could've accessed because plaintext credentials were bundled with the game during distribution. The database getting filled with garbage data was inevitable.
So…
Who's the person?
Doesn't excuse them for being a prick lmao
@@JinxBigStompa From what I've seen, the conversation Chris had published by CNET/PC Gamer was fabricated to fit his victim narrative and promote his other games. He also lied multiple times about the method used to fill the database with junk data so he could dramatize the events and act as if it was a sophisticated, coordinated attack. It wasn't. He distributed his credentials to literally everyone who downloaded it.
The only hint of truth to their conversation were the first couple quotes published. Actual conversation:
- Chris gets an invite from my friend after being spotted on the Steam forums.
- Chris opens with:
"Why'd you do it?"
Friend: "I thought it was funny"
C: "For the lolz, eh?"
F: "you bet my man"
C: "What did you think about the game?"
- Friend asks another friend of ours to write up his actual thoughts on the game. That's relayed to Chris.
F: "I thought it was interesting, and that the camera and fog made it feel eerie. The positioning of the camera, the slow speed of the player, makes you feel vulnerable."
- Friend then asks Chris to play a Roblox game he and the other friend had given up on years prior.
- Conversation ends.
I think if you find an obvious security vulnerability, you should prod at it until it gets noticed. The database was filled with a single line of text, by a single person, and Chris could've addressed the issue by temporarily taking the SQL database offline to change his credentials. It wasn't a continual problem either. There was never a script published to the game's discussions page. The database was filled *once* and that was enough for Chris to take the game offline permanently.
@@dogmadude1399 A kid who was like 15 at the time. He's a software engineer now.
great video, algorithm decided to give me a late-night snack lol
Damn, I played it before it was on Steam, but had no idea what came later, had completely forgotten about it. Guess it took a bit longer to finish the story.
no... i can't play a 30 second game with 2 interactions anymore, what will i do...
Sorry if I frightened you with the video, it was only meant to talk about a game with a cool concept and it’s story of how it’s taken offline now! Please don’t panic little one, there’s plenty other games out there for you! 💙😂
I enjoyed the game and played it a few times. Decided to check on it a year ago to see how it was doing and realized the steam page didn't exist even though I had it in my library and then I found your video.
it really sucks when one person takes something good and ruins it for everyone, and the audacity of the hacker to then ask the person who made Moirai to play their game is insane
destroys a mans reputation and game, asks him to play his game
absolute legend
Even a year from now I'm glad to see this game again
You honestly deserve more subscribers.
I just checked my email and here's my involvement in the story...
The first question that was asked was:
Why do you have blood on your overalls?
To which you responded:
i like to stab tings
The second question that was asked was:
I heard moans, what have you done?
To which you responded:
i stabed someone
The third question that was asked was:
Why do you have a knife?
To which you responded:
to stab
After hearing your answers ArkX3 decided to kill you with the knife received from the wood chopper. Which goes to show that karma is alive and well as you chose to kill the previous farmer, Sarge.
Me yesterday: "damn i remember there was this cool game where you kinda decided how someone elses game ended but it was kinda singleplayer it was interesting i wonder what happened to it"
My youtube reccomended today: "the game you can no longer play"
Me: 👁👄👁
Moi rai (мой рай) is “my heaven” in russian (I don’t think it was intended, it just reminded me of this)
I've watched let's play of that game when it was released and it totally blow my mind. It's such a cool concept. As a game developer myself it must have been so annoying to see one idiot to ruin fun for everyone.
this is why we can't have nice things.
"Would you hack the game if I put it back up?" Why not like, change the code so he can't hack it again? I know it can't be full-proof, but at least you know this one specific exploit that can be patched
Also eitherway, even if he could fix the hack, he would have to go through the database and delete not only all the hacks but all the derogatory things people have put in. This, combined with needing a server to actual host the games recent popularity, combined with the game getting a massive poor reputation dump for no fault of it or his own that can not really be fixed, was too much for one man and an extremely small team to do.
@- as an indie dev myself. can attest to this
you obviously never developed a game before
@Alexander Leonardi no but I do develop software professionally
@@nathangoedeke694 bullshit
found my ending in the depths of my old email account,
Why do you have blood on your overalls?
To which you responded:
I stabbed julia
The second question that was asked was:
Why do you have a knife?
To which you responded:
I was givin it by teh lumberjack
The third question that was asked was:
I heard moans, what have you done?
To which you responded:
I killed her. She aswed me to
After hearing your answers Phillip decided to kill you with the knife received from the wood chopper. Which was unfortunate as you chose to spare the life of the previous farmer, Krzyzstof.
if i wasnt 13 maybe i wouldve been less suspicious lmao
The game could return in form of minigame on a much bigger multiplayer game thus eliminating the problem the original face
I remember playing this game years ago; I actually had no idea it blew up as big as it did
I too still have my Email.
As you left the cave you were confronted by a farmer called Gabe. They asked you three questions.
The first question that was asked was:
I heard moans, what have you done?
To which you responded:
I ended her suffering, that poor woman.
The second question that was asked was:

After hearing your answers Gabe decided to let you pass. This was quite a foolish act considering that you were covered in blood from the killing of the previous farmer, Oliver.
And that draws an end to your involvement in this story. Thank you for playing.
Awesome video brother
I don't think Moirai is gone. Even though it relies on a server to play, there were probably hundreds of thousands of people that downloaded it and there's no way everyone who once had it just deleted it.
But it relies on a central server to work fully, doesn‘t it?
Had to check. I downloaded this game and found it in my library, then downloaded it.
When opening the game it now says "Moirai is no longer available to play. Thank you to everyone for taking an interest in our little game. Chris, John and Brad"
It was a small game anyway. Really enjoyed it though.
I actually played this just before it got popular, I’m so glad I got to experience it
glad i got the chance to play it then! i had no idea morai was gone
7:30 That's just creepy...
You don't need much of a server to run a game like this. Anti-spam protection is very easy to implement. Those are just excuses to not learn how to program properly.
thank god we didnt know the hacker’s name
it will forever be known as hacker and it’s game will never see the light of day or night
why are you calling them an it
It's a messed up situation, but I won't lie, I was definitely laughing at the conversation between the developer of Moirai and the hacker
I was thinking about the game and trying to find it. I saw the thumbnail and immediately knew it was the game- but the game I watched was actually a remake of the game, on roblox. I thought about it since the youtuber I watched played it in 2018-2020 so it wouldnt have made possible, I googled it up after seeing this video and sure enough, the game I thought of was the remake. I honestly find the idea of this really funny but also very interesting. The fact your fate is decided on another player, You giving up a reason WHY you had blood on you and the next player probably killing you (because, it's funny) if I played the game before it went offline- I would 100% get attached to the fictional character I play as and get a bit upset if I get killed
thanks for this video, i had no idea this game ever existed! any way i love the video and i love YOU! this is the only video ive seen from you so far but im so excited to see more and i know that you deserve more views, more subscribers, just more fame in general just from the wonderful way you describe everything in this video
A similar thing happened to a music producer named Koronba
This was the first game I ever played on steam. don't remember much of it though. Thanks for making this video
And thank you for watching! 😀
This was definitely a blast from the past, I remember playing this. I can't really remember what I said but I'm pretty sure I spared them and the next person spared me as well.
As you left the cave you were confronted by a farmer called RITHwik. They asked you two questions.
The first question that was asked was:
Why do you have blood on your overalls?
To which you responded:
It is actually ketchup
The second question that was asked was:
I heard moans, what have you done?
To which you responded:
Moirai is a good game huh?
After hearing your answers RITHwik decided to let you pass. This seems appropriate as you let the previous farmer, John, walk past despite being covered in blood.
Literally yesterday I was thinking about this game after not thinking about it for years and forgetting its name, and then today I wake up to this video in my recommendations. A little freaky but no complaints from me.
This was all planned… this was years in the making the algorithm is too powerful now! It’s reading your mind! 😂
Thank you for watching :)
Fondly remember this. I'm glad others do to. I feel thankful to have experienced this back in the day when it was still around
somewhat reminds me of flappy bird version of always-online DRM game of an inconvenience that essentially renders the game having an expiration date, but this time, the blame isn’t the developer.
If only this game had private servers and Instead of delivering messages via emails it just delivers txt docs in the game's folder
I still have the email! Never knew about this though that's devastating
