So its come to this... The main character NOT murdering his entire family is the plot twist.
Dun dun dun
I really love how Noelle handled him, forgetting her birthday. I'd beat myself up over forgetting something so trivial to remind myself, especially if someone was showing as much kindness to me as she did.
Yet she brought a smile to his face in the very next sentence. She really understands that in a fog of depression, someone's birthday is gonna be hard to remember when there's already shit on your mind.
She is a great character and person
Oof, that hits close to home, "just taking up space in my parents' house, like a piece of furniture"
AND an abusive father! Gods know there were times i desperately wished i could baracade my door!
Sorry to hear :(
Bittersweet ending, for as dark as everything was.
Noelle and her mom are absolutely amazing.
Thanks for playing this, nomkin. This story did hit different, but I think it handled things well enough.
Heart breaks for Phil, though...
Can only speculate if he truly will recover.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This situation is so scary because it's so relatable. I appreciate you sharing your story about your anxiety. I found myself in a similar situation for several months where the thought of another human being seeing me was overwhelming, but I luckily had a bathroom in my room and roommates willing to help me out 😭 it was a living nightmare. Brains are so scary
It can be really rough out there
I love the midnight scenes games.
me too
Gotta say as someone with agoraphobia and depression this is one of the better portrayals I've seen. Also I'm very thankful mine isn't this bad! Lol
Yeh same here
Oh nice, didn't know there was a new game in this series.
yup!
This was a serious subject in this game that tells a horror story on mental health.
It made sense of what was really going on with Phil where some parts of the game were pointing out the plot of why he was locked in his bedroom.
its really good storytelling
Octavi really outdid himself with this story, and I have to agree, definitely the best so far.
yupyup
That was amazing!
I loved the connection between the figures we saw and what really happened. The crack in the ceiling and the shattered mirror were great nods, but the "third eye" the monsters had actually being the bullet wound is fucking brutal. And Piper's having her mouth hanging open.. like fuck. And when you reevaluate all his hallucinations it really comes into focus. The gunshots and the gun wielding specter in Brian's house for one.. but even the blackout where he heard his father calling to his mother about it being what happened that fatal night, or when he heard Piper and his parents fighting or about her running away, it was probably actually memories more than hallucinations. Though I wonder if his conversation with Piper when she calls him just as bad as their parents but then apologizes later with a note was a memory or a figment of his imagination trying to comfort him and hope his sister did love him even though she left him. It's all just so brutal but beautifully detailed and thought out.
I wonder though. We see the new pastor, Father Adams, arguing with this Mrs. Potters and then when we pan back there's a small blood trail leading back into the church. We saw those crow eating something bloody and as Noelle we saw a bloody hump buried in snow. The pastor is also the only person Phil apparently saw during his isolation, when he supposedly visited and spoke with his mother. Now we know that didn't happen but I wonder if there was a reason for him being the only one to supposedly visit, especially bc we were deliberately given a scene where he told Noelle he would visit the Larners, it wasn't a hallucination of Phil's, it was apparently a conversation they really had, and then we saw him come from Phil's perspective so I just wonder.. with all the careful planning this story had, to have a cheap red herring like that for no other reason than to throw us off feels not like these writers. I wanna believe maybe there's something more there but who knows.
And also I do kinda question the timeline. A month is a LONG time for a small town to not hear from or see any of the Larners. I understand no one leaving their house during the especially bad cold wave we see in the game but that's only a few days, are we expected to believe the town was so badly snowed in for an entire month no one wondered where Jacob or Rose were??? Idk I find that kinda weird but I also don't live in a place that snows or is a super close knit small town so idk. But maybe the month timeline is a red herring as well and it wasn't that long who knows.
Either way I really loved this, I loved the Nanny storyline and how it had supernatural elements but it still had an overtone of realistic horror and true antagonists that weren't monsters and kinds spun the trope on its head it was so good. But this was a really amazing psychological horror that captures mental illness very well. I have isolated myself in my house for almost a year before when I was horribly s*icidal so I relate really hard to this game and I know what it's like to be doing so bad and specifically cutting people off and shit and you really do convince yourself of insane shit. But Noelle and her mom were such amazing characters Phil truly lucky to have people like them. I wish the game hadn't made Phil lowkey one of those guys that can't seem to just stay friends with his girl friends but other than that it wasn't too bad
Also what's their age gap bc hes 23 but she just "came of age"? Like do they mean 21 or 18... idk that kinda weirded me out I thought we'd get a reveal that Phil was a creeper making friends with teens but it seems not so idk what that was about. Still tho really realistic and well done and awesome symbolism, I can't wait for more from these devs!
Some really clever storytelling
Noelle is great, but Peeing Dog is 10/10 best character. Nothing better happen to Peeing Dog.
We stan peeing dog here
🎶 it's the best day ever!🎶
yay
I'm so excited I love these games!!
Also I will say as someone who knows what it's like to isolate themselves and also be very socially anxious and not enjoy phone calls, in hs I would text my internet friends while we watched stuff simultaneously. They're still my best friends and into adulthood we've gotten less shy about actually doing phone calls, but what Noelle and Phil are doing is actually a thing idk how common but I definitely have done it before and it's fun lmao
I def felt this myself too
Comment for the realistic handling of f*cked up sh*t that happens in life. Engagement is difficult, but we need to see that everything isn't a sitcom happy lifestyle that so many thing it is. Things aren't what they "should" be. Thanks, RUclipsr, for playing this. And for putting your perspective and experience in. We, as a collective, need to understand the reality that created this story, and your additions just make it that much more rich and needed. For my usual wit and zaniness, see other videos and the comments therein.
Thank you for the comment
Midnight scenes always delivers with the messed up horror.
Its great stuff
Damn. That was really good.
So nom
I'm a really big fan of your playthroughs
thank you!
I think that this game did an amazing job of visualizing of PTSD can physically manifest and control someone's life. And it makes the victims of it still very human, with positives and flaws of their own. This has probably been the most hard hitting, even if there wasn't much involvement gameplay-wise. Loved it and I can't wait for the next installment for this series!
It did a great job tbh
I didn’t even know this was a series, this was such a good game
Its great
such a good game - but very hard hitting for some
For sure
Wow I felt this game! It was the deepest game I've ever seen, and it truly hits home as I find it very hard to leave my house too. But therapy and medication is helping immensely. Anyone out there suffering from mental illness, there's help out there. Find someone to talk to, reach out and get help, you deserve to live a happy life! Peace ✌🏻
Exactly!
Really good entry into the series! I enjoyed this a lot, especially for how well it handled its subject matter.
Its excellent
Hi everyone
Hi hi
Powerful stuff. Really felt like one of the old Twilight Zone episodes!
spooky dooky
Im wearing headphones, the flies buzzing in my ear gave me goosebumps
I feel like there's a plot hole with the Priest. [SPOILERS]

Noelle talks to him outside and the church, and he says he'll stop by and check in on Phil. And he does show up in the house with the bedroom door barred, so you know it's present time and not a flashback. He had to have walked through that dining room, and the game has him talking directly with the mom.
So... I guess, what's up with that? Was that a dream/hallucination? If so, it's quite a coincidence that the Priest makes this offer in real life to check in on him, doesn't, but Phil (not being able to hear the conversation) has a dream/hallucinationthat he did. My one peeve about this storyline, I guess.
could easily have been a dream
I love midnight scenes so much, reads like a play, leaves scars like a masterpiece.
very good stuff
One of the best pieces of story telling I’ve seen in awhile
Glad you enjoyed
These are so good, was not ready for that twist. Poor Noelle, she was a really good character. The writing of this story was really good and really heartbreaking. Your commentary was also really good Minx, your insights and comments were a good complement to what was going on in the game. Thanks for playing this one.
Wow, that was a really hard-hitting and good plot twist. Not often does a horror make that sort of impact, cause they tend to be very focused on the jumpscares or gore. The plot often ends up being cult-related, a inhuman psycho, or downright crytic. So kudos big time!!!
Its really good
Wait, what about the priest that visited him? I mean, i guess it couldve been a figment of his imagination too, but how would he have known the priest told noelle he'd stop by?
He probably just gave up at the door
Midnight Scenes always has such masterfully done visual horror
I love the series
great game!
It is!
I cried at the end.
understandable
Usually I don't like it when a horror game takes a 'it was all in their head' route, but I loved this one. Probably the best Midnight Scenes episode so far
It really is special
What a game! They always create great games but this takes the cake. The storytelling and portrayal of having a mental illness was incredible. Great play through as always Minx. Always love hearing your commentary and personal experiences
Its such good shit
Well, damn. I didn't think I'd see a game handle these kinds of issues with this kind of seriousness. Like, I had very serious anxiety as a teen which made me shut myself away. I was just terrified of being around people because I felt like I'd pass out and cause a scene like all the time, and I developed a pretty serious insect phobia (in retrospect, probably a way for me to try to justify it to myself - can't go out because bugs). I have years of my life I just do not remember. Luckily, I did get the help I need and I'm not experiencing these issues anymore, but my teenage years are just a mostly blank spot in my head, which isn't great. That said, thank you for playing this and for being so open with your experiences. Apppreciate ya, Minx!
Really glad you enjoyed the video
thank you for playing this, it was amazing
Glad you enjoyed it!
31:33 I recognize that sound from We Become What We Behold.
prob stock
Wow this was amazing, I love it when a game can tackle dark stuff without becoming over the top and gratuitous and I thought this game handled everything carefully. Thanks for playing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oooo! Always down for some Midnight Scenes, even if it deals with mental health. Thanks for the super nom video!
tyty
I do wish the game had a bit more gameplay like the others in the series, but other besides that little complaint I do strongly agree this was really good. And think the fact this is like the 5th game in the series actually really benefit it, cause the last games give you this expectation that you know what might be what's happening and instead they give you this curve ball. Yeah, shame it was lacked much in gameplay, but really made up for it in the story aspect.
It could have done with being a little less on rails and a VN but its carried by the strength of its plot
I'm lucky that things in fiction don't affect me much, Even when it's something I've experienced to a degree (agoraphobic w/panic disorder and majorly housebound), I'm able to put it aside when I know what I'm watching isn't real. If that makes any sense 😅
That being said - I greatly appreciate the warnings you put in videos, I know they're helpful for others 💜
I try to warn people ahead of time
🎉🎉🎉
ooohh I like this art style a lot :D ty for another nom video minx! ❤
Glad you like them!
Despite this being the only non-supernatural one, it was the most fucked up. Well done!!
Impressive stuff
When you rewatch this and Minx says not even 10 minutes in "I don't think anything's wrong"
Yeah, so the game got all of us real good
It's not illegal for a college teacher to have an affair with a student, however it could cost them their job
It might be illegal in the UK? Heard of people going to jail even if their 18
Amazing! I love horror grounded in reality
Its so good
These games are truly little gems!
Truly nom!
Amazing writing! This blew me away
yupyupyup!
This was so good! Depressing, but good.
so nom
This is a really good horror game.
Glad you enjoyed
Wow that hit hard
yup
Wanna play this one myself soon, so Im just gonna put the video on in the background with no sound so Minx gets the view
I hope you enjoy playing it
not me crying like a baby over this. fuck
:(
that was fantastic wtf
So nom!
The other game you was thinking about was the one with the airplane trip. And the synthetic humans
yeh forgot that
@@KrinxTV that one is burned into my memory because it was the first game I played in the series. I don't know what number it is in the series 😅
💙
Seems like an interesting game, I wonder if Phil might pop up in a later game?
maybe!
So good
Its really great
I'm shocked his parents didn't call 911 to take him to a mental health clinic. They would've whole him for two or three days to examine him.
They prob didnt want the scandal
After go’ogling around, I didn't realize that Simmy Krotiel's Bigger Blueprint was updated and you can make it bigger even faster, yep, what Simmy suggested before was pretty good, but now it can grow up to 4 ins, I managed 3 ins myself and I feel like a monster lol
Thank you for the warning. I'll watch something else on the channel 😊
no worries
Wait a minute! This isn't Dreadout at all!
silence!
Just one question what was Piper's motivation for offing her parents and herself?? what was her motivation her mother wasn't even a jerk and legit cried/cared for her children "I'm an emotional teen and my father is a bit of a jerk so now I'm gonna kill everyone plus myself" Was that the logic??"
I believe we only got to see some of the mental abuse the Piper and Phil suffered. Their father was incredible domineering because of his own failures with the family business and the mother was almost as bad because she seemingly just overlooked how he treated the kids. And if Piper also had an undiagnosed mental illness, being pushed too hard likely made her desperate and she felt like what she did was her only option; especially after running away didn’t work.
I'd accept that but things "happening off screen" for me isn't good writing but some may like that the sister possibly? had a disorder or the father was possibly? worse the only thing I could think of that would've driven her to such an extent is like you said the mother being purposefully complacent knowing that maybe her daughter is being physically and sexually abused by the father. @@DarkOsprey28
Im guessing long term abuse, its implied through several lines of dialogue
I like the other games in the series more 🤷🏾♀️ i wasn't feeling this one. It take too long for it to get good. I didn't like it at all. Spoilers ⬇️.....
Piper deleted everyone but her brother. Phil's mimd is completely broken because of that event. This game could've been a lot shorter if they was going to go with this ending. it was a let down for me. I wished it was something supernatural or manic.
Fair enough!
@@KrinxTV I was spicy that night 🍷 but I know you loved it. And there's nothing wrong with that. I just like the supernatural ones more. I'm just not much of a thriller dude
This game was hard to watch and I'll admit, I almost shut it off.
Not because of the themes, but because... I'll be honest, that puzzle at the beginning with the bottles, and the later revelation of how he handles his other bathroom needs.
Tip for any writers or budding game creators who might be reading this comments: I don't care what kind of atmosphere you're going for, you never ever need to include that kind of detail in a work of fiction. Don't even bother telling me about realism or verisimilitude or whatever--fact is, stories much like this have been just as effective while still being something you can watch while eating.
In a lesser story, those parts would've made this an instant zero for me. It's fortunate it was strong enough to keep me interested despite it.
Im not gonna lie I thought that stuff was super tame compared to some games ive covered like a 2/10 on the ick scale heh
This is a beautifully dark way to show how trauma affects people. Blew away my expectations
