Honestly, I feel most sorry for the brother who seems to be caught in the middle of all this with a creepy android running around pretending to be his sister.
Ok thanks for the spoiler
@@haloskaterkid If you go through the comments before you finish the video, you only have yourself to blame.
@@cartooncritique6625 no not really, most don’t blatantly reveal the ending in their first sentence
@@haloskaterkid Still possibility, as you can clearly see.
@MC (Lei Kakichi) again, seldom is the plot twist to the entire story revealed right off the bat in the first sentence. Plenty of comments to be read that describe and discuss the plot as you’re watching it develop, without giving away the ending
Personally I don’t really see a villain in this game. Just a family broken by the death of a child. The mother very clearly distraught and just wants to move on, not seeing a new copy of her lost daughter every week. And then the father just desperate to have his daughter alive and well again, who’s willing to do whatever it takes to bring her back (as most horror game parents do)
The mother is not actually Lianas mother. She even said to Liana "I think you know that I'm not your real mother" or something similar to that.
@@amandathepanda244 The mother didnt say that to liana she said that to the android.
@@amandathepanda244 she said something like i am not your mother because she was scared of the android and tried making it go away were the villains because were the ones who took over liana playing the game
Well said. Well said! Exactly. Its a tragedy. No "villain" needed.
If my daughter died I'd do anything. Kill, sacrifice, serve, give up whatever to have one more night to tuck her in at night with that smile I would never forget. Its a true tragedy.
I have a theory about the brother. Yes I know he isn't shown much but hear me out. The messages Liana sees is her brother trying to reprogram her so she doesn't reach 100% contamination. That explains why he's always in his room and Liana isn't aloud in. He also only talks to her during night time while Evelyn is asleep so he isn't caught trying to hint that Liana isn't human. He loves his father but the idea of trying to put a human's core inside an android is crazy. That may be a far stretch but I've been thinking about it all day.
Interesting theory, this game raises more questions and theories for me than it did answers, don't know if that's a good thing or not
I agree a lot
I can see it, like when he says “She is feeding you dirt” I dont think he means literally, I believe its a subtle hint that she isn’t being straight up to her and that “She made you believe it was your favorite” is another hint that Evelyn is trying to shape Liana’s mind, both spirit and android to believe that nothing happened in order to try and get her daughter to be normal, but its by what Evelyn identifies as her daughter being “normal”
Aloud: audibly. Not silently or in a whisper.
Her mother also mention that the brother stays in his computer alot! So this theory make sense to me
While the father is the villain for the overarching story for all the reasons you mentioned, for the personal story of the player, The Interface, and The Core, the father ends up being a savior of sorts. The mother is afraid of the Android and mistreats it, feeding it dirt and making it sleep outside, things the brother and father find appalling, and when The Interface and The Core combine in the end, he takes them away, as they’ve likely succeeded at becoming their own person. That seems to be part of the fathers goal, telling her not to lose her head is something that could trigger a memory leak, as it is a coded warning for letting the mother remove her head, something her past selves have experienced. To his living family, the father is a villain, to the reborn, and renamed, main character he’s a hero. I guess you could call him an enigma.
An interesting look at it.
the mother has to live the same week over and over again, with no help from father. she is repeatedly traumatized by father's creations and is the only one cleaning up the mess that father has made. I don't view mother as a villain; rather, she is a horrified and traumatized woman forced to relive her daughter's death again and again.
whats amazing is the creators name is Enigma.
@@megsley apparently the father has a reason for the absence and its to help the ai protagonist. It is possible that the father is not the same husband she knew.
@@megsley its hard to call mother a victim when she is the one cutting the android's head off. And that is aparently not something father wants as he also tries to warn the android not to go against mother
Seems like a very interesting concept! Sad we don't see the brother and have some sort of subplot build there, but it looks like a great game nonetheless
For some reason, I imagine the brother is dead or bot real at all
So the dad was continuing research in order to make the core come to the forefront, rather than become its own new being with the 100% contamination? Because if the core came to the forefront it would actually be Liana again?
In theory, yes
While what the father did was very unethical, I wouldn’t say he was the villain. He thought that his daughter was going to die, so he took her consciousness. He just wanted his daughter back.
His daughter was going to die regardless of what he did. She had a terminal illness
I believe there is another game called "The Enigma Machine" that is said to be the trippier events after what happened to Liana.
yeah its a sequal
@@animeguy6752 Where can I get it?
Mothered is the sequel right? I haven't found anything called the enigma machine other than a game released in 2018.
@@flora__bLiNk.007 I think Mothered is the Prequel.
@@hyliastone286 no it's a tranquil
So basically speaking. After learning Lianna had a terminal illness, any (most) parent would do anything to save their children, even though there's no hope at least buy some time to be with them so in this game, the father killed her before she died due to her illness by grabbing her consciousness and inserts it to an Android, so ye Lianna (the android version). However this takes patience as making an Android version of Lianna is a lot of work. With this in mind, the father still believe in her, despite the risks like sneaking and taking the prototypes home for an experiment. I mean this is nuts, he still wanted to be with his daughter but then again this is too much to think.
Villain is a strong word to use to describe what the father did he jus couldn’t let his little girl go in what he felt was too soon
The father is a pretty interesting character, other than the villain POV mentioned in this video, you can also see the father as the only person in the family who 100% believe his daughter still in the android, the "killing" part basically is the only way to upload Liana's conscious as you can't upload any conscious when the person is dead, so by the game telling us that Liana basically have terminal illness, it hint that the father is not a vicious murderer that kill his daughter. And the fact that the father still believe Liana still in there despite many failures, I think it is pretty warm for Liana under these unsettle situation. I wonder why don't the father tell his daughter the plan before extracting her conscious so she know what's up though...

I’m really curious what’s in the brothers room, who knows there could be secrets in the game.

father reminds me of the father in Neon Genesis Evangelion. Transferring the consciousness of family members into Angels etc.
Oi Gendo
Ray Bradbury once said “We earth men have a talent for ruining big, beautiful things.” Grief doesn't appear beautiful, but in grief, you can begin to understand the true beauty of what was. And in the understanding, how to take that forward. The father closed his eyes to understanding, took the right to grief from his family and ruined a big beautiful thing.
Α ρεεε παίδες, τι παιχνιδάρα ήταν αυτή 🔥

Still there is one thing….. BIRCH TREES DOESNT GROW APPLES
Fun fact: there is a sequel to this game. Also, by the same dev, a game called “enigma Machine”.
❤Only the true UH family is here ❤
thank you so much for making this video, it was my window into your channel which i adore!!!
One lore and order video id love to see is I think it’s called 11 years ago, it’s a kinda shorter puzzle horror, and I think it’s one that more people should be introduced to, it’s a very interesting story in my opinion
This story reminds me of a book i read in English Literature class during the summer one year for school. Basically the protagonist was an android or something like that but she had the memories of a deceased girl, whose consciousness was saved onto a computer in the basement of the house. I believe her name was like Jenna or something like that, but i don't really rember much about it.
That actually sounds really familiar, I think I read that in school too. Can’t remember the name of the book though
The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson
I can’t seem to ever get through a horror movie, let alone a game 😂 super happy I came across this channel though!
I would suggest you to do a video on 'Welcome to the Game' and its sequel. Its a gem
That was really confusing. Thank you for explaining the plot to make it more clear.
I watched a playthru of this and it was a fantastic experience. The sound and story really stayed with me
man, a creepy & heartbreaking are the true horror. they not just scaring you but they playing with your emotion. this is just a torture. hopefully the dev keep this game coming
Where did it state that copying Liana's consciousness killed her? I just read it that he made a copy before she died and since he keeps making androids clearly he can make copy after copy afterwards.
Do you know what? I can’t remember, I made this 4 months ago 😂
ΣΑΚΑΡΕΕΕ
Thank you, this was very enlightening! Could you perhaps also consider doing the Enigma Machine? Since it’s apparently some sort of sequel to this game
What a sad little story this is. This is a great video though, the kind I watch again straight away because there’s more to pick up on the second time round. Makes me think what a great job you’d do with the early silent hill games ;)
Α ρε Σακαρε
Οι καρπαδες άφησαν πάλι έπος @Unboxholics
Great breakdown
I have no idea how this is a game but it looks interesting. Loved the video.
Great video and explanation! My thoughts on the game aside, I came here after XQC played this game and got confused and quit after the first "play through" (after the mom resets her and she reappears in the car) I was super confused on what all was going on because he spam clicked through a lot of the dialogue AND clicked through the "reset", so me and his chat had no idea what was going on and they told him he skipped the ending and it was just playing again, so he quit.... Super frustrating lol Anyway, great vid! 👍
Man…. XQC is beyond stupid sometimes and by sometimes…. I mean all the time
@@2006jhz lol he's just kind of impatient. His "ADHD Brain" really gets in his own way. Sometimes it gets in his way, and is super frustrating to watch, and sometimes it helps 🤷
@@aquamd8459 oh shit he has ADHD damn poor dude
I guess that's what happens if you stream everyday for 12 hours with no sleep. Brain turns to mush haha. Guy needs to take care of himself.
@@GamingHarryYT Lol Yeah, can't just race through and spam click every single game. Some games, especially horror and story intensive experiences, you have to slow down and go with the pace of the story or you'll end up missing everything.

This is a pretty good concept
This was a pretty good video to just watch and listen to. A game that I would recommend you dive into next is inscryption. Yes I know it's currently being played to death by all the top people of youtube, but as far as I know there is not a single story breakdown video out there that explains what is actually going on in this game.
Nice, let's give it even more attention
Is the mother an android as well. Look at he sporadic movements and skin. I think the whole family might be androids that the father is trying to make his family. Maybe he’s moved all of their conscious into the androids.
Mother is a human. She says that Liana looks as unnatural for her as mother does for Liana. So I guess this is just the way Liana’s robotic eyes could see a real human. Also it was the way Liana looked for others. That’s why Evelyne was scared of her.
Liana portrays mother like that because frok outside, she is also like that
Love your videos!!!
thanks for another great video
love this series all of the lore and order videos are great
#Unboxholics
I love how you have outlast 2 in your intro
great vid!
Does this ending mean Liana no longer exists and is lost forever?
Yeah, I think so.
This reminds me a bit of the main character's progression in that movie Artificial Intelligence
Paused right at 5:35 THANK YOU!. I thought the game was replaying. I'll continue on
I'm confused. Just finished the second run. Same thing entirely. What am I doing wrong?
*EDIT* Disregard, I guess I had to hide in the wardrobe to get more content. But after watching this im content. What a really sad game. Very first run I thought the mother was bat shit.
Could you please go over the lore of Sign of Silence? Please?
the term "retirement" is directly lifted from Blade Runner/Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.
Imagine being turned into a robot by ur father
So THAT’s how the father ended up making sentient androids; and that killing of the main character, does the loop work to strengthen the subsequent copies of Liana’s core, allowing her to overcome the two way contamination? And since the father brings a new android every time he visits, wouldn’t that result in 2 Lianas?
Κολομπουρα❤️
here after xqc being adhd
negative IQ gameplay ngl
This annoyed the fuck out of me
*Being a manchild that he is
i love how the other games really explain everything
Best game i‘ve ever played right there!
get ready for the sequel : Fathered
hey Harry, please do another breakthrough for the new Mothered that was released recently
Does the enigma machine not refer to their other game? (The Enigma Machine?)
Androids can think for themselves and robots can not think for themselves
I found out about this game from nexpo. And from his words, I thought according to the previous game, that this game would just be a simulation. And all the creepy stuff in it could be a cyber attack.
Those three laws sound eerily similar to the ones from “I, Robot.”
I would love to be able to play this game
so guys in a way the interface in the android is an AI ? or i got something wrong ? also in the last ending does it means that the AI and Liana are now one ? thinking and communicating with eachother? but who is the one that takes the actions of the body? Liana or the AI? movement and so on, like when they went to the forbidden bathroom etc
Liana is gone. They are now a new beeing together.
someone needs to get MatPat to play this game
Ive waited for this, And i feel bad
good channel, thank you
The enigma machine is actually the sequel of the game
the story was so cool, it has a very interesting plot
Hi Harry! Love your videos, keep up the great work :)
Funny thing, there's a sequel to the game called Mothered: Home.

The mother looks creepy already
I know it's a lot of work, but it would be great if you could include subtitles in future videos. English isn't my first language and I practice listening this way, but sometimes I miss some information.
So, um the situation where Liana's mom told her to grab a kitchen knife, I still don't get it. Can the android actually read the mind's of her mom to carry the order to bring the knife or... is it because of a error issue going on within the android's mind? Also..... if the android isn't allowed to enter the secret room..... then did it just enter it, when it has been fixed by the father while bringing the rotten apples to him?
i still dont know what contamination means, does 100% contamination mean that liana is staying more robot or becoming herself?
This reminded me in some ways of the movie AI Artificial Intelligence
Aren't those the same 3 laws from iRobot?
There's a sequel to this game, it would be interesting to see an explanation about thay
There's no Villain in this Story GH. Come back to me when The Father becomes Springtrap. Then we can talk about villains. 😂
Can you do a story explained for the town of light
you should check out their other game!!!
I don't see Ness anywhere
Might be a rough explanation, but bioshock 1 and 2
Sorry, I’m not a native English speaker so can somebody please explain me what is the “core” in this game? I know the meaning of the word but I just can’t figure out it in the context of the story. Is it a heart, a brain or sort of?
Honestly. No one know. It was never explicitly stated if I remember correctly. Maybe it's memories, maybe it's brain, or any other organs. It's just called "core"
I HAVE THE SAME NAME AS THE GIRL, LIANA MAKES IT MORE CREEPY FOR ME
Sounds like whoever xqc is forked this game play up. I watched manlybadasshero play it, can't relate 😎
hello gamingharry WOW! another terrifying delicious digital nightmare
13:30 music name please?🥺
Found it. Nihoni - subconscious
What do you think about the mother actually being a mannequin?
I don’t know really. I considered it, but then the phone call threw me off. How is the mother using the phone if she’s a mannequin? Unless the developer made it that way in order to throw you off? I dunno haha
@@GamingHarryYT I was kinda hung up on it too, but eventually I just figured "mannequin" was from Liana's perspective. There's a line of dialogue where Evelyn says "You appear as strange to me as I must appear to you", or something similar to that, so either it's simply Liana's perspective, or the developer made her a moving mannequin just because, but then if that's the case would the father also be a mannequin? If so then why exclude him from the description of the game? Wish that was elaborated on but nice to hear your perspective as well
@@tasy456 Imperfect visual processing on the part of the very first piece of technology in the field of artificial human sentience.
She’s a robot. Well seems like it to me
Harry plz do the DreadOut 1 and 2
Eerie how the mother fears the android but looks and moves like an android herself.
That may be how "Liana" perceives reality.
Thats how Liana sees her, because thats how Liana looks and acts like from outside
