That fucking scene underwater is so stressful as a certified Scuba Diver, like they're breaking almost every rule about Scuba in a single dive and I'm having a panic attack over it.
@@snek9320 Of course. 1. Don't hold your breathe, or else you risk the chance of having your lungs literally explode due to the decrease in pressure causing air in the lungs to expand. 2. Always swim with a buddy, because if you are alone there's a significantly higher chance of ending up in an accident that causes your death (and plus if you run out of air you can rely on your buddy's supply until you resurface) 3. Don't ascend too fast, because if you go up too fast you'll get decompression sickness (or as most people call it "The Bends") And some additional rules as well: 1. Don't dive in caves /shipwrecks/crashed planes unless you are both with a buddy and think you are capable of doing so, because the tight spaces and winding passages could lead to you becoming lost and drowning. 2. Don't go into tight spaces, especially ones tight enough to force you to ditch your gear, because you are significantly more likely to get trapped and drown without your gear. 3, and most importantly. DON'T TAKE OFF YOUR FUCKING GEAR WHILE SEVERAL DOZEN FEET UNDERWATER

@@RTGame rt it feels like it's been like 8 videos in a row where you've responded exclusively to drift king comments is there something we need to know
everyone losing their shit because dan kept walking around during the proposal scene was absolutely hysterical. Reason number one why interactive games can be so fun.
Man, you really did get the worst "nobody dies" ending. This was the only way possible to get arrested. Of course, without the cap or a decision that seems like Conrad abandoning everyone (which does feel in character), this is also the ONLY way everyone lives. Otherwise someone dies in the epilogue somehow.
I've never actually seen this ending and didn't know it existed. Mind you, I thought Man of Medan was shit as soon as it came out, so I didn't dig too deep, but still. I never saw them actually behind bars in a mental institute.
Fun Fact: The actor who voices "The Curator" also voices "White Mask Varré" in Elden Ring So I guess the guy has talent in being slightly unnerving Bonus Fact: Somehow he also voices "Radahn" as well (those guttural screams require a very specific tone you know...)
[No Spoilers] This game is actually inspired by a real life mystery, the Lost Ourang Medan. It's a US warship stationed in the Asia during the Cold War. It was leaving the port of Manchuria before being lost in a storm and all contact ceased. I believe all reports state a last panicked radio broadcast was all that's left of the vessel before it went completely off the grid. The cargo is confidential and many speculate as to what it is. It's a lesser known conspiracy but still a solid classic.
I hate how they took off a distributor cap at around 36:50 for context damn near all boats use diesel engines (yes, ik there are some petrol and even 2 stroke petrol ones out there, but those are usually reserved for performance applications), diesel engines just don't have distributors since they don't need them to function (they ignite through compression, not spark) so that would've been a totally random part to remove and would've literally done nothing. edit: even if we work under the assumption that it is running a petrol 6 cylinder, the sheer speed with which the man took it out without breaking anything means he'd either make a killing as a mechanic, or everything was so loose that the boat running could be considered a miracle
Came to the comments to say exactly this, I'm glad someone else found it as frustrating. They could've pulled the battery (or even just the main breaker/fuse) for the same effect. While I'm at it, the heli landing should've been a rope extraction, and the scuba scene could've used some diving gear and decompression stops.
@@GTAVictor9128 no, cars have distributor caps as well- or rather, used to. your distributor is basically what.. 'distributes' your electrical current in time with your engine (by way of gearing) to the correct cylinder via the spark plug leads/wires, and then the spark plug. modern cars dont really use distributors anymore, and use coil packs instead. The most recent car I saw with a distributor was a 2000 Honda Prelude I used to have!
The problem with Supermassive Games is that they made one decent game in Until Dawn, and they've been trying to just make that game over and over ever since. And they can't do it.
Spoilers below for those who haven’t finished watching: I love how their silence bit toward the beginning of the game (25:50) actually saved someone’s life. If Julia had not stayed silent and taken the beer she would have died to the bends no matter what
I love how this horror game lets you die in the stupidest way possible, and its all your fault. You're not screaming at the screen because the character did something dumb it a cutscene, you're either sitting there horrified that you got all the way through the game and then she died because you didn't take the bends seriously, or you're sitting there laughing at how stupid this death was after surviving everything else.
For me, the dark pictures series was like the game equivalent of the Sony Marvel movies. They weren't good, but they were pretty funny. It was a "so bad it's good" treat that came every year.
Kinda, like, I feel like the first one wasn't fun-bad, neither the fourth one. This one and the one in Afghanistan are really funny~ The other game they made about the summer camp is probably one of the worst and funniest~
7:03 I'm so sorry the simultaneous chorus of "YOU FAILED" into the immediate "ILL KILL YOU" is so, SO real?????? I feel like that's an exact interaction I've had with my sister before 😂
Not spoiling (at least not intending to) but reading up about the endings of this game is bizarre, like... There's a lot of minor choices affecting things that I wasn't expecting? Like, they really ramped up the interactivity and "your choices affect the story" from Until Dawn. I mean, UD's still way better, but you can tell they put a lot of effort into planning the possible endings (and the combinations - who lives/dies and the reactions at the end)
It's so funny that I was just rewatching Markiplier's playthrough where he said a lot of the issues would be fixed with multiplayer, only to watch this playthrough where they think single-player is better 😂😂.
The premise of the game was inspired by the real-life WW2 ship Ourang Medan, whose crew did actually die under unknown circumstances - hence the WW2 flashback at the beginning that seems unrelated for those who don't understand the context.
the medan here comes from the mysterious legend of a ship whose crew all died in unknown circumstances and the ship itself was lost, it's basically the name of the ship "ourang medan/ orang medan" which was a dutch east indies ship. so it's named after the place medan but not set in medan, not did it set anywhere in indonesia since the pirates are french-african
Some random app on my phone was open making constant sparkly magic type sound effects, and i thought it was part of the video, and Dan had just added it in for ambiance.
!spoilers for the video! i only saw RT’s POV for this stream, so seeing him unknowingly shoot Sophie 100 times in a locker knowing that he admits to it later was so funny 😭😭😭
"why did thing that happened at the end happen that way" - well you did uh Uncover government warcrimes. Note - if you get that ending but told them what ship you're on beforehand the military shoots you. But since they only knew afterwards, they jailed you so you can never tell anyone.
I didn't see the full game beyond this video. Were there actual government war crimes described? Merely researching and producing a chemical weapon like that wasn't illegal at the time, and either way it's really weird that the writers thought that the US would go to such lengths to cover up something like that from most of a century ago. Like, maybe if it was a recent event, but any potential war crimes would have been done during World War 2.
@@an_asp Ya, it was a spec-ops unit using a specialized chemical weapon (very much NOT allowed by the geneva conventions) during WW2. But I do agree, putting that much effort into such a coverup is silly - especially when the U.S. has admitted to doing oh so much worse.
Important note is that the ship also went missing during the Cold War, not WW2. So producing/testing chemical weapons with the intent to use them was very illegal by that point.
I don't really get why they jail/shoot them, though. Like, they have no evidence of anything and could probably just be released, and anything they claim will hold as much weight as conspiracy theorists on forum boards.
I love the theme of an old ghost ship stuck in time. Even without horror id have fun just exploring an old ship even if there were old bodies still there
Drinking challenge: Take a shot everything RT says “I think I know what’s going on here” Bonus shots: Whenever RT chooses to run away as a character after saying the above phrase.
Thinking about the "not breathing when the character is underwater" Me and my sister when we where little did that to see who could actually survive the situation the character was in
Man of Medan has a very dynamic and branching story, but unfortunately has the massive downside that the characters suck. Even if you liked some of them (I did), you have to admit that they are all completely stock.
They're all jerks, except the captain! She's just trying to do her job, and her passengers disrespect a grave while also disturbing a crime scene. They have redeeming qualities but the fact none of them seem to care about the dead completely ruins any chance I had to care about them.
I think the reason they were imprisoned at the end is that the military got ahold of them and didn't want them telling anyone about the weaponized hallucinogens aboard the shipwreck.
Fun fact: I applied for work experience at the developers shortly prior to this game being announced. I was rejected because they feared I would leak/spoil things. And they’re damn right - I would’ve warned yall if I saw this coming lmao
I unironically really enjoyed all of the dark anthology games. Like its easy to say that a lot of the writing is a little tacky. But if u play it with friends and enjoy it for what it is, it can be a really enjoyable experience. And if u play it late at night it can actually be kinda scary
When my mom and I played this game together we ended up getting Brad killed and we didn't realize how it happened until we looked it up after the end because the gameplay was so misleading and confusing.
@@sinisterelmo162 So like, the game is significantly more difficult if you're playing it single player or local co-op because during the hallucination scenes you don't get to see the other perspective. So when Fliss encountered Brad who she saw as a creepy skeleton in a hood, we had no way of knowing that was Brad. We also had a weapon in this instance and used the qte to kill Brad with it. We had gotten a premonition early on warning us about a hooded figure but literally all we saw of that was a hooded figure with no context so of course the logical video game thing to think is that it's warning us not to be killed by the creepy hooded figure. Then later on it just suddenly cut back to Brad lying dead on the floor and we had no idea why he was suddenly dead until we looked it up after the game.
Chloe kicked youtube with the editing in this video! I had stopped to go watch the full stream vod because I was having so much fun at all the silence jokes and wanted to see all the content, but I couldn't handle not having both perspectives to see what was going on so I came back to enjoy Chloe's work. Also I love that she held back on using the new youtube phrases until they actually said them in the video. That was really thoughtful! Chloe has an amazing eye for detail
Despite everything, no one died don't know how you did it since every other youtuber I watched at least lost someone and I felt like you picked some of the worst choices you could pick but good job👍
@@JohnJohnson-sc7hn yeah, but apparently it was bugged when the game first came out to have you always fail the QTE that happens because of that choice to leave.
So I believe the reason for the ending is this: Spoiler spoiler spoiler The kids were rescued by what appeared to be US military. Said US military does not want any word about what was found/what happened on that ship to get out, so the kids now get to enjoy the facilities of some unlisted black site prison for the rest of their possibly short lives.
the way that the narrator strictly said that "you two should work together" while the game keep showing random "X/Y failed" seems like it's trying to antagonize the players against eachother so the two players suspect eachother. though in this case these two clowns somehow failed that
it's hilarious that both sophie and dan quite literally noticed the game is antagonizing them against eachother and still chose to actually work together just for the bit lmao
I know a lot of people hate this game for the twist, but I like it! The main threat is the people, not the scary monsters lurking around. I don't like Until Dawn just because of the specific monsters they use, and I absolutely despise Little Hope for none of it being real. Haven't played House of Ashes, but I think the monsters are cool.
Personally I really liked Little Hope, but I am also a sucker for plot twists. Definitely seconding House of Ashes as the best in the series, though. That game is great.
Game: It's all about decisions made in a hurry with your heart instead of your head. Ah yes, if Cupcakes had just thought about it for a few more seconds she would have realized there was a blockade on the other side of the door that would knock in to the elevator she had no way of knowing was there and would send it down multiple floors to break the cap. How silly of her!
the scariest thing about this game for me has always been them all running around the ship with their toes out, bare feet slapping against rusty metal and god knows what else
I love watching RT play these story based horror games. I regularly rewatch the Until Dawn video and I even liked watching his video on The Quarry. I’m so excited to watch this one too
this and most of the dark pictures games just give me hope for later on developers using these fumbles as inspiration for better games and stories. i've scared myself awake with my ideas for a story based on this concept and it's literally just the first 20min of the game but expanded upon differently. the best parts of this game are the beginning, making dumb choices for the laughs, and fliss. that last one may just be personal bias but i love fliss and like many of their characters she'd be such an amazing "final girl" type if they expanded on her or the others even slightly. i also think they could have done WAY more with her anger about tourists in her home area making immensely stupid and illegal decisions and not just going "well you have an illegal boat license so let's call it square". WHY does she have that illegal license? probably because it pays some damn good money to get rich idiots out on a boat and most of em aren't this dumb. i think she's young and inexperienced with giving her customers hard No's but she's clearly making her best effort to follow maritime law in the beginning while they do their stupid plane tamper swim. justice for fliss, man
Listen, I will forever be the biggest defender of these games, but even I can't stand this one. I'm certainly not bored when I play it. This game is hilarious. But it's such a nothing burger of a game. At least the other games in the series have a narrative to follow. I watched a video essay from a guy named Ratat (his essays are excellent btw, go watch them), and he described this game as more of a theme park ride than an actual narrative. I couldn't agree more.
I can defend this one, it's Devil In Me I can't defend. It was massively disappointing, for the villain, location, characters and just the amount of slow wall shimmying in the game
I feel like that for a lot of entertainment. Most of them don't really say anything and is just about fun, which makes sense. For video games, since it's such a new medium and because it combines different mediums, we start to expect it be art like music and writing, and it sometimes is, but it's still mostly for entertainment.
@@genericname2747 at least Little Hope has something to say. Whether it's about our world or its characters. This game doesn't have anything other than a thematically appropriate scene for Conrad.
@@adreamofspring_wastakenI honestly don’t even know what Little Hope has to say other than PTSD is a bitch, none of the games really feel like any of them have anything to say and it’s just a rollercoaster to infer stuff from Doesn’t make them any less funny when you play or watch them, alone or with friends
1:21:15 that little rat shuffle is hilarious. I used to have pet rats and if they wanted to nibble your toes they’d be leaping and bounding and frolicking not that little shuffle.
Fun fact: The actor of Iceman and Conrad, Shawn Ashmore actually plays 2 characters in Remedy games. He plays Jack Joyce in Quantum Break (he's the protagonist) and Tim Breaker in Alan Wake 2!! He also had an entire episode in Alan Wake 2's first DLC, Night Springs :]

everyone losing their shit because dan kept walking around during the proposal scene was absolutely hysterical. Reason number one why interactive games can be so fun.
Man, you really did get the worst "nobody dies" ending. This was the only way possible to get arrested. Of course, without the cap or a decision that seems like Conrad abandoning everyone (which does feel in character), this is also the ONLY way everyone lives. Otherwise someone dies in the epilogue somehow.
>nobody dies
Damn, Junior forgotten already
@@jamespeake4883 Well, I- I meant protags, okay!
I've never actually seen this ending and didn't know it existed. Mind you, I thought Man of Medan was shit as soon as it came out, so I didn't dig too deep, but still. I never saw them actually behind bars in a mental institute.
@@LunarDrop7 I mean, I read about it, and... the wiki says PRISON, not ASYLUM!!!
Wait why’d they go to prison? For breaking into an unreported wreck or something?
Fun Fact: The actor who voices "The Curator" also voices "White Mask Varré" in Elden Ring
So I guess the guy has talent in being slightly unnerving

This game is actually inspired by a real life mystery, the Lost Ourang Medan.
It's a US warship stationed in the Asia during the Cold War. It was leaving the port of Manchuria before being lost in a storm and all contact ceased. I believe all reports state a last panicked radio broadcast was all that's left of the vessel before it went completely off the grid.
The cargo is confidential and many speculate as to what it is. It's a lesser known conspiracy but still a solid classic.
I hate how they took off a distributor cap at around 36:50 for context damn near all boats use diesel engines (yes, ik there are some petrol and even 2 stroke petrol ones out there, but those are usually reserved for performance applications), diesel engines just don't have distributors since they don't need them to function (they ignite through compression, not spark) so that would've been a totally random part to remove and would've literally done nothing.
edit: even if we work under the assumption that it is running a petrol 6 cylinder, the sheer speed with which the man took it out without breaking anything means he'd either make a killing as a mechanic, or everything was so loose that the boat running could be considered a miracle
Came to the comments to say exactly this, I'm glad someone else found it as frustrating. They could've pulled the battery (or even just the main breaker/fuse) for the same effect.
While I'm at it, the heli landing should've been a rope extraction, and the scuba scene could've used some diving gear and decompression stops.
Ah, so a distributor cap for a boat is equivalent to a spark plug for a car?
@@GTAVictor9128 no, cars have distributor caps as well- or rather, used to. your distributor is basically what.. 'distributes' your electrical current in time with your engine (by way of gearing) to the correct cylinder via the spark plug leads/wires, and then the spark plug. modern cars dont really use distributors anymore, and use coil packs instead. The most recent car I saw with a distributor was a 2000 Honda Prelude I used to have!
Both are funny ngl, someone with magic hands or the ENTIRE thing is running on hopes and dreams and a few screws 💀💀💀
The problem with Supermassive Games is that they made one decent game in Until Dawn, and they've been trying to just make that game over and over ever since. And they can't do it.
Yeah like in Until Dawn I actually cared about the characters living while here
I do not care at all lmao
I fully agree, but I think this one is at least decent
In this one, the gameplay matters more thankfully
House of Ashes was alright, and the Quarry was actually pretty good but oh man are the others baddd
Lmao I knew this style was familiar
Chloe made this work so well
Knowing the ending, seeing them so confident they got the good ending was something else
So what was the ending about? That the kids got experimented on? Or locked up because "classified" information
@@Dead_Weight21 locked up for knowing too much
@@SootieloveThat makes more sense. I thought they got locked up because of the illegal diving and exploration.
Thanks for replying to that person
@@Cyber-v1.67 tbh it's pretty unexplained but since it's a top secret government location and they apparently had no trial, it's most likely that
@@Sootielove which is kinda bullshit-ish?

I love how their silence bit toward the beginning of the game (25:50) actually saved someone’s life. If Julia had not stayed silent and taken the beer she would have died to the bends no matter what
Damn you beat me to it
I love how this horror game lets you die in the stupidest way possible, and its all your fault. You're not screaming at the screen because the character did something dumb it a cutscene, you're either sitting there horrified that you got all the way through the game and then she died because you didn't take the bends seriously, or you're sitting there laughing at how stupid this death was after surviving everything else.
I got the boat driver killed at the last possible opportunity, because I somehow forgot that the monsters were just hallucinations
@@degeneratemale5386 oooof
@@AMannAmongMen i mean there's really no context to it and all it spoils is that there's a character who stays silent and was offered beer, then dived
The "we are going to say nothing" bit was both hilarious and infuriating in equal parts. I *youtube* that part so much
For me, the dark pictures series was like the game equivalent of the Sony Marvel movies. They weren't good, but they were pretty funny. It was a "so bad it's good" treat that came every year.
Best enjoyed with some friends who are willing to be stupid
Kinda, like, I feel like the first one wasn't fun-bad, neither the fourth one.
This one and the one in Afghanistan are really funny~
The other game they made about the summer camp is probably one of the worst and funniest~
Until dawn was pretty good, the rest are funny bad though. That I agree with you on.
House of Ashes was fun
Absolutely. House of Ashes and Until Dawn are actually really good, and the rest are fun to play drunk or with friends (or both)
7:03 I'm so sorry the simultaneous chorus of "YOU FAILED" into the immediate "ILL KILL YOU" is so, SO real?????? I feel like that's an exact interaction I've had with my sister before 😂
Not spoiling (at least not intending to) but reading up about the endings of this game is bizarre, like... There's a lot of minor choices affecting things that I wasn't expecting? Like, they really ramped up the interactivity and "your choices affect the story" from Until Dawn. I mean, UD's still way better, but you can tell they put a lot of effort into planning the possible endings (and the combinations - who lives/dies and the reactions at the end)
The ship can flood, catch on fire and you can get gunned down by the military. Theres a shocking amount of important choices.
@@VeriCheri how did you get gun down again??
@@cototototorra7106 if you learn the ships whole name before calling the military
@@VeriCheri damn how does that even tie?
@@VeriCheriSo they hear the ship name and get a "shoot on sight" command out of like, classified cover up stuff or something?
It's so funny that I was just rewatching Markiplier's playthrough where he said a lot of the issues would be fixed with multiplayer, only to watch this playthrough where they think single-player is better 😂😂.
75 minutes in, I'm starting to think the Medan in the game's title has nothing to do with the city Medan, Indonesia.
The premise of the game was inspired by the real-life WW2 ship Ourang Medan, whose crew did actually die under unknown circumstances - hence the WW2 flashback at the beginning that seems unrelated for those who don't understand the context.
the medan here comes from the mysterious legend of a ship whose crew all died in unknown circumstances and the ship itself was lost, it's basically the name of the ship "ourang medan/ orang medan" which was a dutch east indies ship.
so it's named after the place medan but not set in medan, not did it set anywhere in indonesia since the pirates are french-african
Game: provides dialogue options
Sophie and Dan: 😶😶😶
It's my favorite moments.
The best one is when cupcake's character does speak, they were told to stfu. So it's back to silence 😂
7:20 "you failed no you failed no you failed" ah the argument that we never truly get away from
So you mean to tell me that essentially the big bad is actually just what is effectively Scarecrows fear toxin?

I can’t believe you’re keeping this bit going, may never forgive you
its kinda funny that RT only ever pays attention to the game exposition when he's with someone else vs streaming alone
!spoilers for the video!
i only saw RT’s POV for this stream, so seeing him unknowingly shoot Sophie 100 times in a locker knowing that he admits to it later was so funny 😭😭😭
"why did thing that happened at the end happen that way" - well you did uh
Uncover government warcrimes. Note - if you get that ending but told them what ship you're on beforehand the military shoots you. But since they only knew afterwards, they jailed you so you can never tell anyone.
I didn't see the full game beyond this video. Were there actual government war crimes described? Merely researching and producing a chemical weapon like that wasn't illegal at the time, and either way it's really weird that the writers thought that the US would go to such lengths to cover up something like that from most of a century ago. Like, maybe if it was a recent event, but any potential war crimes would have been done during World War 2.
@@an_asp Ya, it was a spec-ops unit using a specialized chemical weapon (very much NOT allowed by the geneva conventions) during WW2. But I do agree, putting that much effort into such a coverup is silly - especially when the U.S. has admitted to doing oh so much worse.
Important note is that the ship also went missing during the Cold War, not WW2. So producing/testing chemical weapons with the intent to use them was very illegal by that point.
I don't really get why they jail/shoot them, though. Like, they have no evidence of anything and could probably just be released, and anything they claim will hold as much weight as conspiracy theorists on forum boards.
I can't wait for this new Man of Clickbait era from RTGame and mscupcakes

I love the theme of an old ghost ship stuck in time. Even without horror id have fun just exploring an old ship even if there were old bodies still there
Just makes me wish we had a modern Echo Night
Tell Chloe she did an amazing job editing this one! Having both perspectives was great!
Knowing before hand how janky this game is makes me really look forward to Dan's self inflicted suffering
Drinking challenge: Take a shot everything RT says “I think I know what’s going on here”
Bonus shots: Whenever RT chooses to run away as a character after saying the above phrase.
oh my god i skipped to the end of the video and didnt notice so i thought the game was like 10 minutes long LMAO
I was about to comment something, then Dan grabbed me by the scalp and dragged me into the hallway, throwing me down the spiral stairs.
omg same 😊 😊 😊
Thinking about the "not breathing when the character is underwater" Me and my sister when we where little did that to see who could actually survive the situation the character was in
Man of Medan has a very dynamic and branching story, but unfortunately has the massive downside that the characters suck. Even if you liked some of them (I did), you have to admit that they are all completely stock.
They do, games get better with each entry, (except The Devil In Me, that was massively dissapointing)
They're all jerks, except the captain! She's just trying to do her job, and her passengers disrespect a grave while also disturbing a crime scene. They have redeeming qualities but the fact none of them seem to care about the dead completely ruins any chance I had to care about them.
@@iAmPimmiCueThat one definitely seemed like it was a bit rushed which was surprising because it didn’t seem like it was going to be bad.
The only mistake they made somehow was breaking the cap 😂
On more than one occasion, the loud "RUclips" censor actually jumpscared me.
I love that they shot each other and didn’t tell each other
"Why would you SHOOT a child?!"
It's RT. This is not a question that needs to be asked here.
Why does RT stumble into the no deaths play through of all these games first time 😂
57:27 “this is kylo ren and i am watching this on… youtube” made me choke on my drink
I think the reason they were imprisoned at the end is that the military got ahold of them and didn't want them telling anyone about the weaponized hallucinogens aboard the shipwreck.
Fun fact: I applied for work experience at the developers shortly prior to this game being announced. I was rejected because they feared I would leak/spoil things. And they’re damn right - I would’ve warned yall if I saw this coming lmao
This comment is so good I think it might be stolen
@@AbvctrI can dig up the email if you’d like

I unironically really enjoyed all of the dark anthology games. Like its easy to say that a lot of the writing is a little tacky. But if u play it with friends and enjoy it for what it is, it can be a really enjoyable experience. And if u play it late at night it can actually be kinda scary
They used to call him Joe back in college. Joe King.
DARK PICTURES!!!! I watched so many late-night vods of these series because they were unbelievably funny. Im so excited they're playing this together
I liked the part where RT as Joe did crack with Darth Maul
When my mom and I played this game together we ended up getting Brad killed and we didn't realize how it happened until we looked it up after the end because the gameplay was so misleading and confusing.
How'd he die?
@@sinisterelmo162 So like, the game is significantly more difficult if you're playing it single player or local co-op because during the hallucination scenes you don't get to see the other perspective. So when Fliss encountered Brad who she saw as a creepy skeleton in a hood, we had no way of knowing that was Brad. We also had a weapon in this instance and used the qte to kill Brad with it. We had gotten a premonition early on warning us about a hooded figure but literally all we saw of that was a hooded figure with no context so of course the logical video game thing to think is that it's warning us not to be killed by the creepy hooded figure. Then later on it just suddenly cut back to Brad lying dead on the floor and we had no idea why he was suddenly dead until we looked it up after the game.
10:45 Glorious Curator introduction perfectly timed to Wii Sports theme song
Spoilers:
You know, being only like two quick time events away from the golden ending isnt bad.
Chloe kicked youtube with the editing in this video! I had stopped to go watch the full stream vod because I was having so much fun at all the silence jokes and wanted to see all the content, but I couldn't handle not having both perspectives to see what was going on so I came back to enjoy Chloe's work. Also I love that she held back on using the new youtube phrases until they actually said them in the video. That was really thoughtful! Chloe has an amazing eye for detail
I remember playing this game with my friend and getting permanently soft locked right before we got on the main boat
How’d you guys do that 😭
Despite everything, no one died don't know how you did it since every other youtuber I watched at least lost someone and I felt like you picked some of the worst choices you could pick but good job👍
I know a good chunk loose Conrad during first pirate altercation because the take the boat and run option will just completely kill him no matter what
@@metronicmagician1816It's possible for him to survive and come back with the coast guard at the end
@@JohnJohnson-sc7hn yeah, but apparently it was bugged when the game first came out to have you always fail the QTE that happens because of that choice to leave.
So I believe the reason for the ending is this:

The kids were rescued by what appeared to be US military. Said US military does not want any word about what was found/what happened on that ship to get out, so the kids now get to enjoy the facilities of some unlisted black site prison for the rest of their possibly short lives.
The game itself seems like nothing special but RT and Mscupcakes really make it engaging and fun
Pirates ram them and then demand reparations.
Connor: “I’M GONNA THROW MONEY AT ‘EM!”
"mscupcakes... We need to cook."
the dead people in the beginning just look so little like actual corpses it‘s honestly somewhat impressive
My fav part was when RT said, "It's the man of me, Dan" and Danieled everywhere
the way that the narrator strictly said that "you two should work together" while the game keep showing random "X/Y failed" seems like it's trying to antagonize the players against eachother so the two players suspect eachother. though in this case these two clowns somehow failed that
it's hilarious that both sophie and dan quite literally noticed the game is antagonizing them against eachother and still chose to actually work together just for the bit lmao

I know a lot of people hate this game for the twist, but I like it! The main threat is the people, not the scary monsters lurking around. I don't like Until Dawn just because of the specific monsters they use, and I absolutely despise Little Hope for none of it being real. Haven't played House of Ashes, but I think the monsters are cool.
i thought house of ashes was the best entry in the seried! id definitely give it a try
Personally I really liked Little Hope, but I am also a sucker for plot twists.
Definitely seconding House of Ashes as the best in the series, though. That game is great.
Game: It's all about decisions made in a hurry with your heart instead of your head.
Ah yes, if Cupcakes had just thought about it for a few more seconds she would have realized there was a blockade on the other side of the door that would knock in to the elevator she had no way of knowing was there and would send it down multiple floors to break the cap. How silly of her!
Alex proposing to Julia and Sophie saying nothing will make me laugh every single time.
the scariest thing about this game for me has always been them all running around the ship with their toes out, bare feet slapping against rusty metal and god knows what else
2:00 in, and they've already got a pause counter. I forsee this being a recurring joke.
God I love these collab videos
I won’t lie: I did not expect Iceman to be in this game
Remember when everyone was calling The Quarry the sequel to Until Dawn, because we wanted to forget this game was ever made?
I love watching RT play these story based horror games. I regularly rewatch the Until Dawn video and I even liked watching his video on The Quarry. I’m so excited to watch this one too
this and most of the dark pictures games just give me hope for later on developers using these fumbles as inspiration for better games and stories. i've scared myself awake with my ideas for a story based on this concept and it's literally just the first 20min of the game but expanded upon differently. the best parts of this game are the beginning, making dumb choices for the laughs, and fliss.
that last one may just be personal bias but i love fliss and like many of their characters she'd be such an amazing "final girl" type if they expanded on her or the others even slightly. i also think they could have done WAY more with her anger about tourists in her home area making immensely stupid and illegal decisions and not just going "well you have an illegal boat license so let's call it square". WHY does she have that illegal license? probably because it pays some damn good money to get rich idiots out on a boat and most of em aren't this dumb. i think she's young and inexperienced with giving her customers hard No's but she's clearly making her best effort to follow maritime law in the beginning while they do their stupid plane tamper swim. justice for fliss, man
Listen, I will forever be the biggest defender of these games, but even I can't stand this one.
I'm certainly not bored when I play it. This game is hilarious. But it's such a nothing burger of a game. At least the other games in the series have a narrative to follow.
I watched a video essay from a guy named Ratat (his essays are excellent btw, go watch them), and he described this game as more of a theme park ride than an actual narrative. I couldn't agree more.
I can defend this one, it's Devil In Me I can't defend. It was massively disappointing, for the villain, location, characters and just the amount of slow wall shimmying in the game
I feel like that for a lot of entertainment. Most of them don't really say anything and is just about fun, which makes sense. For video games, since it's such a new medium and because it combines different mediums, we start to expect it be art like music and writing, and it sometimes is, but it's still mostly for entertainment.
I'll defend this one over Little Hope. At least the characters are actually in danger.
@@genericname2747 at least Little Hope has something to say. Whether it's about our world or its characters. This game doesn't have anything other than a thematically appropriate scene for Conrad.
@@adreamofspring_wastakenI honestly don’t even know what Little Hope has to say other than PTSD is a bitch, none of the games really feel like any of them have anything to say and it’s just a rollercoaster to infer stuff from
Doesn’t make them any less funny when you play or watch them, alone or with friends
21:31 this is absolutely a thing i do. books, movies, anything, i try to hold my breath with the characters
Yeah same!
1:21:15 that little rat shuffle is hilarious. I used to have pet rats and if they wanted to nibble your toes they’d be leaping and bounding and frolicking not that little shuffle.
This game will never live up to the masterpiece that is the Quarry, it was the game of all time
42:12 really made me think of the video "we find this skull here, it has a full set of teeth and this dumbahh goes, ya think its a bird??"
Fun fact: The actor of Iceman and Conrad, Shawn Ashmore actually plays 2 characters in Remedy games. He plays Jack Joyce in Quantum Break (he's the protagonist) and Tim Breaker in Alan Wake 2!! He also had an entire episode in Alan Wake 2's first DLC, Night Springs :]
I love they made the rule of not describing anything and immediately break it
