GMOD VR: Exploring gm_Catacombs
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- Gm_Catacombs is a huge underground labyrinth of a map based on the Paris Catacombs. Dark, claustrophobic, and surrounded by the dead, this map makes it very easy to get lost and join them. And that's before we get to the interactive features.

1:13 "Now as you might expect, I believe this map is based."
LMFAO I NEEDED THAT! 🤣
Wtf, based
*video ends*
based, based and redpilled
Based anon map.
The true monster in all of these maps is the copyrighted music
Yea
By far the scariest monster for halloween.
DMCA just sucks these times... Fair use isn't a thing anymore... Same goes to patent trolls...
True
Right
I genuinely hope you see this, because this will help your experience. In the Gmod VRmod settings, there is an option for alternate door opening. If you check that, your hands will auto lock onto a door handle when you try to interact with one. That way, you can actually open doors with your left hand!
This guy's insight on horror / ambient maps is so refreshing, don't get me wrong I like the over the top reactions people have when playing gmod horror maps, but it gets stale as time goes on.
That's what I really love about him he's more substance than flash! And he's not constantly making fun of the game he's playing in a disrespectful way he actually gives everything a chance
Yeah his rather calm yet tense personality adds to the atmosphere of the gameplay lol
He’s honestly great man, really reminds me of old school RUclips let’s plays where not every video was a hyper edited, constant memes and ads, with an overly exaggerated/ enthusiastic personality.. this is the kind of content I enjoy for sure!
@@thedukeofweasels6870 I have to second this I was thinking and going to type the same thing 👍👍
@@zemotika most of today's is angery people mocking the games or maps not advertising it as good youed never hear accurate today just 45 to 80% ratings and trash this trash that he guides through like doing a house tour really explaining things rare I've been binge watching non stop his contents top's
11:20 "Sora's nowhere in sight" Last place I expected a Kingdom Hearts reference tbh.
15:22 As an advad explorer of the Paris Catacombs, I will say that there are some structures like this in there. But not to this extreme. Its mostly one level or one story kind of place, but it does have some MASSIVE rooms. People have actually moved in down in those tunnels and have made it their homes. Its basically a very shady, drug filled, sex filled, mostly lawless underground city.
Huh.
@@lunaticbeans8600 did he stutter?
@@lobsterfulyes9652 he had me at "sex filled"
@@FreneticPotato Ayo you're being sus
@@FreneticPotato facts
i love how when you respawn it is implied that you sort of take on a role of another character going in to explore the catacombs as the previous unfortunate explorer perished, very well executed idea!
Haha I scrolled down early on and read your comment, it put me really on edge because I was expecting him to die to a jumpscare all the time.
About the respawning, I don't know if it's just that the mapper scattered random player starting points in the map so that it would work for gmod multiplayer rather than being an intentional thing.
(btw hello from one femboy to another)
@@lineriderrulz the map would be too cramped for multiplayer so i think it was intentional (hello!)
@@femboyspeaking9064 wow, good point. That's so obvious I should've thought of it 🤦♂️
@@lineriderrulz futa is better lolll
@@FuroskiGoRawr bro what the fuck
It's become such a comfy routine for me to watch your Exploration videos when I come home from a late shift.
Nice profile picture :)
@@AlphaGarg thank you ^_^
Honestly, this feels like the most interesting horror content I've watched since like 2012. I just felt like depression and getting older was the reason nothing horror-related was as interesting or sparked my inspiration as much, but your content proved me wrong. Please keep doing these exploration videos!!! 😀👍
Often times, the softer horror stuff tends to be the scariest because it's not what's there that ends up scaring you.... but what you think of in your head or convince yourself is there that does scare you. That's why atmosphere is so important in a horror game. If you start hitting people with the scares, they may end up getting tired of them, but if you take it slow and steady, that fear and anxiety ends up building up, until the scares finally hit, and they end up hitting hard.
And its really scary! No matter where you looking its always there
easy to say as a amnesia penumbra fanboy. some are too hard on themselves
This map takes big inspiration from the original _Tomb Raider_ games, from using their OST's as it's ambiance, to lifting it's traps' designs and sound effects from the games, and using the ludo-narrative arc of hunting for lost artifacts in forgotten tombs and discovering hidden secrets. That original series always gave a very strange liminal feeling, and seeing that intentionally and faithfully recreated in VR is really cool.
Glad I wasn't the only one who thought those sound effects and opening music were very Core Tomb Raider. Now I have to play it with a Lara Croft skin.
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING TO!!! (Especially when the cave ambiance begins playing. I remember that from the ORIGINAL _Tomb Raider!)_
13:00 It is actually very common to find bones and skulls in the paris catacombs. Maybe not full skeletons unless you put in all the effort actually finding and reassembling them all, but I'm sure there's enough bones to _assemble_ plenty of full skeletons down there.
*lego click sound* Level up
5:28 says
“Public not allowed”
Basically translating to
“Authorized personnel only”
Seems ineffective
“That sign can't stop me, ’cause I can't read!”
The cause of the permanent flashlight bug is the flashlight mod. I tried the mod out after seeing you use it in videos and it happened frequently to me. I also don’t use or have vr, so I know it’s not a conflict with the vr mod.
I think it’s caused by picking up items
Curtains closed, Under the blanket, put this video and watch it make me instantly fall asleep. Comfy, scary but not jumpscare style just ambient scares, relaxing video and very long.
I'm still watching this video but gosh the video's that librarian make are awesome. No talkative dude without stopping or scream just some "HUH ! oof it was just the fire." stuff and moment of silence that immerse us into the video.
I love those vids and continue like this, those kind of entertaining video's are not common on RUclips.
Update: oh and I forgot awesome video to watch when you have covid lmao.
Same, help me sleep in a weird way
25:48 - It's interesting you say this about him being so close to an exit. In 1793, a man named Philibert Aspairt disappeared after having traveled into the Paris Catacombs. Nobody knew where he was until they found his remains in 1804, eleven years later, a few *_feet_* from an exit to the catacombs. It's scary, these catacombs go for so long and are so dark and desolate that if your light source dies, you're stuck in the dark and may die even if you reach an exit simply because you didn't see it. I believe there's actually a memorial to him in the catacombs placed somewhere around where he died, in the cold, dark, silent halls of that massive underground tomb. Scary stuff.
24:55 Escaped being stoned, but no one evades gravity
The average issac newton enjoyer vs the average gravity denier
"Do things like these really exist in the Paris catacombs?"
Yes. They used to be ancient stone mines, carved out through hundreds of years, if not longer - Then became used for dead bodies when Paris literally flooded over with them.
Honestly, I'd both love to go down there, but would also be 5000% claustrophobic over it... Would love to go down there with a close-knit team, and map it out with Li-dar and a dedicated team, but honestly it's probably dangerous as hell for MANY reasons.
Isn't there also a sculpture down there that looks like a pale, lanky figure passing though a wall?
@@anonecki I believe so, yes. It's made by some artist, but I'm not sure why they'd do that, other than to scare the piss out of anyone seeing it randomly.
I just imagine, every time he passes a skeleton or a body, I just imagine like the ghosts and spirits of those people watching, and staring at our traveler here... watching, wondering if he'll meet the same fate as they did...
This is by far one of the greatest videos in this channel, a VR exploration of catacombs that lasts for over an hour! Thanks so much Librarian for your effort! I wouldn't Dare to even play it alone even if I am not using VR
I'm assuming you've seen it, but if not, his Krot video is honestly such a good video, one of my favourites (ofc, as of writing this I haven't finished the video yet).
@@rootintootinnewton yeah i watched it too, I wonder what kind of addons he uses to always have all the textures and those cool shading effects
I genuinely don’t understand how you do this. I mean I can get through a horror map, but it makes me so tense, and if I’m home alone, it makes me scared to walk around my apartment. I gotta say though, it’s remarkable how much this feels like the future of horror. You’re totally safe, but the primitive part of your brain doesn’t know that. It is as close as I’ve ever been in waking life to experiencing a nightmare. I’m not a horror fan, but I can appreciate how immersive and terrifying this is. I could go on and on so I won’t. It’s just utterly fascinating to live in this time.
Wow, the sounds starting at 10:00 gave me huge Tomb Raider 1 vibes! That transported me back to my childhood immediately, being scared of going into the cave system in the mountains.
SAME HERE!!! Matter of fact, I can bet y'all that ACTUALLY CAME FROM the original Tomb Raider game! I remember that game clearly.
Wish I still had a working PlayStation (although I think there might-have been PC ports of the original Tomb Raider games. I know the third game had one.)
This was absolutely one of your best expeditions- I love to listen and watch to your commentary while working on projects, essays, and even just as background noise. Personally, it's really nice to see both your reactions and interpretations of the atmosphere, environment and themes of any map.
Even moreso, I love your exploration series because I'm a bit squemish with Jumpscares, but I still absolutely love horror and the tension around it. Keep it up!
1:14 “now as you might expect I believe this map is based” greatest commentary
..."based on the Paris catacombs" that is!
This would be fun to explore with friends, especially if you all split up.
Just image hearing footsteps and not knowing if it's one of your friends or something else.
I love how the safety Glock has become the new thing
8:10 "I'll save that hole for later"
plot twist: you only explored 1/10 of the map
That music reminds me of old Tomb Raider from the PS1 days. 😍
If you’re still curious, there’s an estimated 6 Million+ people buried in the catacombs.
Here’s some fun facts:
There was a fully furnished modern room, with electricity, a projector, and a note that said, “do not look for us.” Yes I’m serious, you can look that up if you wish.
There is only 1 documented death as a result of getting lost in the catacombs, and the explorer has a memorial dedicated to him.
The catacombs were started in around 516~ AD as a result of a leprosy outbreak.
Visiting the Paris catacombs has been completely illegal since 2006 due to it being vandalized, however many people still visit and explore as there are only 5 police officers patrolling the 200km+ tunnels.
You mean there are unlucky polce man that have to wander the catacombs?
@@superOify yup.
This is giving me MAJOR Thief vibes. Between 'Down In The Bonehoard' 'The Lost City' and 'Haunted Cathedral'.
explore gm_russia please it has a big sewer and super cramped spaces you can crawl under
He has done it I believe
this would be perfect combined with LIDAR and the nav_generate command
52:30 Has to be the first time I've seen that creature outside of Parakeet's Pill Pack
Estimated 6 million skeletons in the catacombs, Perfect for necromancy!
6 million? Dont you think thats a bit high
@@exeterd9 Nope. There are legitimately the remains of over 6 million people in the Paris Catacombs.
@@randomlyentertaining8287 if necromancy was real then
Paris is going on another civil war
Easily one of the most underrated and under-appreciated youtubers on the platform right now. The sheer effort and commitment with videos hours and hours long. Truly awesome work.
deaf grapes pfp 👍
@@robertpaulson2946 Yes 👍
50:25 the worst part about that is it's been skeletons meaning that person's been dead for Way Long but the fact that one's not a skeleton means he died somewhat recently say maybe 3 months maybe 🤔
I love the sounds from the original Tomb Raider
the levers are from TR too, that's crazy
video is really entertaining as always, Also Love the Shawshank Redemption Reference.
I always like to watch your videos at night, but this time it was so long that I had to split it up on 3 nights haha, thanks a lot for your content, it's really interesting and entertaining to listen to your commentary while watching you experience those maps.
Greetings from Mexico!
This is one of my favorite gmod maps! I hope you had a blast exploring it 😉
10:44 i like how that ladder played a melody as you went up and down
56:01 I had to do a double-take at this part because the sound effects sounded exactly like the blade traps in the old Tomb Raider games and made me nostalgic lol. The blades even look like those traps.
Edit: The key and door sound at 59:22 as well
Just wanted to say that you have singlehandedly inspired me to buy Garry's Mod! It's now in my wishlist. Can't believe I'm 34 years old and have never played this game, haha.
Hey librarian! Quick question: You often have trouble switching between your flashlight and grabbing things. Are there any mods for the player character that work like a headlamp? I don't know if such a thing exists or how to find it because I have never played GMOD, but I have been watching your videos for a while and it only just occurred to me that someone might have thought to make one.
Need a left handed flashlight mod.
@@planescaped Yes! Exactly what i was thinking.
@@planescaped or a left handed gun mod.
Some parts looked like they were inspired by "As above, so below". Or at least they hit the same notes seeing as they both use the Parisian catacombs as the setting.
Same thought yeah
The fist 7 minutes are very reminiscent of a dream I had. Especially your commentary about 'hearing' voices through the sounds of rushing water, but not distinct enough to be sure.
I was in some partially undergeound hillside dam thing, staring into a metal tube with water rushing out. And I could swear I was hearing voices rushing out with the water.
Every time librarian uploads, I gain some sense of my humanity back :)
Humanity restored.
Humanity restocked.
@@ImaPizzaK humanity pizza
I hate and love this map, Its so terrifying yet so intriguing
22:10 probably from some old maps they can, but then again who knows how many of them have been collapsed from the centuries or from wars like ww2. Not to mention the entrance ways that weren’t documented. The past year or two they’ve even found abnormalities and undocumented places on the wall of China that nobody knew about until recently with technology, but then again the circumstances were different. Also, there’s some sketchy things that go on down there. There’s explorers that do go down there to document and stuff, but typically one doesn’t go to a place like that who has the purest of intentions and isn’t up to no good.
Was just watching your "Secrets of Gm_Russia" map and it was giving me strong vibes of the found footage film "As above, so below" as you were crawing in the underground area. Fucking eerie. That film coincidentally is set and filmed within the Paris catecombs mixed with Dante's Inferno. As the anxiety and claustrophia rises you venture deeper into your own personal hell. Very inttruiged by to see you're exploring a map inspired by the same location, with uncanny unsettling undertones.
The Tomb Raider music snippets are a nice touch, nostalgic. I never knew how to describe the strange feelings the classic TR games gave me, the massive caverns and ruins somehow inhabited by animals. The limited level design made it feel like nonsensical architecture, only designed to be a puzzle for humans thousands of years down the line. Like time was no obstical for their architects and their games. Despite being long gone, they were always several steps ahead of the choices you'd make.
im so glad this guy dosent fake scream for scares that really annoys me
The calm commentary, The creepy gameplay. Perfect!!!
I like to think some of those skeletons especially the ones with blood died in ww2 fleeing or hiding but in the end still caught a german bullet could even explain the meat grinder too. Perhaps they were catching so many people down there they set up a disposal site as to not alarm anyone about to fall into the same trap with the surplus of new corpses
woa that's craaazy bro
25:10 is very epic to be honest, cuz his reaction paired with the music and ambiance is perfect
7:27 When you drive into Detroit, Michigan.
this makes me want a semi open world (using the tunnels and catacombs to get around) half life game that takes place france while fighting the combine.
7:45 - OH GOD the OLD PS1 _Tomb Raider_ (1995/'96) cave ambiance noise! Jezz I remember that SO CLEARLY and they're using it in this map?!
To answer your questions:
Yes it is real.
Yes there are indeed thousands and thousands of skeletons.
The catacombes have been used to dispose of corpses.
Yes that sign meant "NOT ALLOWED FOR PUBLIC"
No it was not built with bones and skulls, it’s just that they were put here.
And yes, it is part of the sewers.
Conocí este canal ayer y no me arrepiento, lo mejor es que no te aburris de esto y seguís viendo Grande Hermano!!!
Love all your gmod exploration videos so damn much!! Some of the best content i’ve seen on YT these days. The game series “Submachine” has a lot of liminal/abandoned atmospheres. It’s more of a puzzle game but i highly recommend checking the game series out. Great atmosphere/art/ambience.
I think your problem with the Flashlight Swep and the VR flashlight might just be a conflict between the two causing one to remain on no matter what.
You can see his VRMod flashlight's light get brighter when he tries to turn it off.
To be completely honest... I think sometimes he just presses the wrong buttons lol
no its the issue with the old vr flashlight mod.
It's actually an issue with the Flashlight mod itself, and it apparently happens when you pick stuff up while the flashlight is out.
There are basements and structures (although most are graffitied and entirely ruined), but no death traps, fires or cannibal hideouts
…that you know about.
@@SuperShadow316
True
now keep in mind, the bodies he finds of people who got lost and died down there had to be at least 1-2 years old, which means that nobody has been down in thoes parts of the catacombs for a very long time...
Actually 9+ years old.
Because it takes 9 years for the human body to just about fully decompose into a skeleton
Ok, you’re right…
I found the part of the vodep
My notif sound for my phone is Sheldon J. Plankton saying "My wife is dead" with an eerie echo effect. I got that at about 30:18 and it scared the shit out of me.
I found this channel by complete accident when learning about Iron Lung and now I'm hooked, so unconcerned by entertaining the audience(But managing all the same) and at the same time, interacting and commentating, giving inner monologues and more it's- Strange I can't put into words what makes your content so good exactly or different from others. The only other youtuber I know of who has a similar style is Davidr64yt/DavidAngel64 but he's more action oriented, genuine gamer lol.
This feels more like I'm watching someone go on an IRL experience or something.
Wow okay, I guessed that the sign at 5:28 said "Closed to Public"... well it's "Forbidden to public" but I think I got pretty close.
FYI: I am not french [I am German] nor have I taken french classes, just guessed it.
Nice to see that gate tomb raider theme and descent into hell perfect.
I saw a video about catacombs rhe other day gate to hell and some reporter vanished too rather disturbing but intresting no gateway seen though.
you need to play boneworks if you haven't already. its a really interactive physics based VR game, not too unsimilar to half-life, that has cool environments that give off a liminal vibe as well. its very well made id think it would be cool to see on this channel
Oh, the Tomb raider music at the start takes me baaaack
The full on happiness and fascination behind you in the end brought a smile to my face.
I've been binging and watching so many of your videos lately, they're a perfect blend of horror, good and sometimes funny reactions, and a really passionate person who takes their time to throughly explore and try to make sense of what the map creators try to convey with their maps, I've been having so much fun with your videos
No those structures arent in the paris catacombs. Its just pure tunnels. There still so much to cover and explore down there. If anyone ever decides to visit, Once you begin to see no graffiti on the walls. You have gone to far deep.
The graffiti is a bit disrespectful, but then again respect and human decency isn’t a common thing in todays world.
@@kova1577 the catacombs only cover a small part of the tunnels under paris, plus they've been dead for over 300 years
@@sierra1513 true, but it’s still a mass grave basically
@@HughAverageHomoMan not a zionist like you
Someone else in the comments said there is, just not massive. So who is correct then?
These have to be my favorite videos on your channel
Just the idea of exploring maps in gmod and soaking in the vibes is so cool
nice Shawshank Redemption reference
i never knew Gmod had a VR Mode till now through The Librarian, absolutely love the videos he makes
Yeah it’s called VRMod on the steam workshop
please continue these Gmod exploration videos. they are so comfy to watch and i love feeling the same sense of unease as you wander around in cyberspace
This reminds me of the tutorial of Oblivion which takes place in underground ayleid ruins that connect to the sewers.
Bro, imagine playing this with Disc 11 being one of the sound effects that randomly play.
could choose a cave sound and it'd be more fitting
Almost happy 1 year anniversary of my favorite librarian video!
Great video as always i just cant get enough of these exploration videos in gmod there is so much boring stuff on youtube these days i havent been waiting for a new video in a channel in a while
These tunnels do indeed span basements of residential and businesses throughout the city, as do many tunnels in Europe. Many of these networks are massive, and still not fully mapped.
I have actually been in the Paris catacombs. It was pretty cool
I don't know if it's because I often watch you while eating dinner, which is when I drink Arizona Iced Teas, but the opening to this video reminded me of that kind of flavor. Just an oddly sweet summer/spring feel. Also, I am reminded of soul caliber IV and the tutorial level for Mario Party DS... I don't know completely why, but I like it.
You Pavlov’d yourself.
Not even gonna lie I was listening in at full volume late at night and I got a loud ass ad for a Kesha tour.
That old Tomb Raider sounds give me memories
Trying to watch this late at night is increasing the scary factor even more! Who knew that by upping the dosage of your atmosphere to the persons atmosphere would make it scarier!
You got an instant like from me for the Tomb Raider music at the start.
oh my gosh!!! yes!!! you should absolutely play Project Zomboid!!
Sorry for the late comment, only just found your channel a month ago, been binge-ing it since!
The Tomb Raider 2 music/ambience in this map sure brings back memories.
A day with 2 librarian videos? Thanks for your hard work man
Remember me when you have a million subs
Remember me too
Me as well
OOOO ME TOO
“I believe this map is based “ - Librarian, 2021
Your voice sounds so much deeper than your more recent content, idk what it was but my mouth dropped /pos
I was exploring this map myself running through the corridors mostly and I’m pretty sure I saw a ghost this map is freaky
Let's start one hour of pure joy ! Because this is the main emotion that travels me when I am watching your videos !
"I am a white person in a horror movie" relatable
Loving all that old school tomb raider sound effects.
Edit: this is just one big tomb raider love letter.
I remember exploring this years ago, fuckin creepy bro.
17:46-18:13
Yes, this. I do this all the time. It's easy to read about the number of deaths in a certain war or the number of graves in a cemetery but it's incredibly hard to wrap your head around the idea that all of them were people. The fact that every single one of the 60-80 million people killed in World War 2 was a person. All of them had their own experiences, desires, and potential. Every thing that each of us has done in our lives, all that we've experienced. Now times that by millions.
22:11 They don't. That's how explorers get in. Entrances in people's basements and random side streets.
What I love about this map is the tomb raider ambience track...
