This game is TERRIFYING. There's something so scary and so deepy unsettling about the "ordinary" situation of an unwanted intruder...

shadowy figure: -gazing into the room- holly, an empath: "something's not right here..."
LOL
"gets drugged, sees guy hide in her closet and broken phone starts to ringing" Holly: hmm call it woman intuition but something feels off about my situation for some reason
@@DangerZone200 As if the situation wasn't sketchy enough...
@Kavetion what in the actual fu-
@Kavetion what the actual fuck
21:44 Everyone does the murderer check but no one is mentally prepared to find one lmao
That’s 100% true.
i sure as hell wasn't. shit scared me too. 10 o' clock at night, my cat jumped off of me, Mom yelling out "what happened?", it was a mess
I spilled my milk and cookies not even lying
NO BUT I WAS HAVING A DRINK AND THAT JUMP SCADE MADE PHYSICALLY CHOKE
i literally jumped and yelled i was not prepared for that
I can literally see Mark getting stranded on the side of the road yelling: "Hello hey! I need help! I'm not a monster, I won't kill you!"
You made me think of it too
I love how two of the three times he did the "Murderer check" he actually found people in his room.
Fun fact: if you’re fast enough at the gas station, you can see your cars wires get snipped, which is why it stops working
fun fact #2: if you look up during the bridge ride you’ll see the lady standing on one of the platforms
Replying to this comment in case there is more fun fact i didn't know on this episode
I know this is a video game and thus not literally what happened, but that just seems weird to me. The wires were snipped by who? The guy who later gives you a ride to the hotel? Or was it the person on the road who sped away? The bad ending kinda doesn't make sense either. Drugs you, sneaks into your room, then just waits in the closet hoping you'll open it. If you don't then you leave and he leaves, and if you refuse to let him in he breaks open the door to get you. Like, you were ALREADY in her room with her totally helpless and unaware. Why make it harder on yourself by drawing attention?
@@kyuubinaruto17 honestly they probably changed some of the details from the alleged Reddit story,but there are some weirdos out there who get a kick out of watching people while they’re unaware and then trying to terrify them
Fun fact #3: The man also takes a picture (of the car?) before walking back to the van and drives away. If you look around at the motel, you'll see the white van that drove past you at the beginning on the road and at the gas station 😶 (If i remember correctly, when Holly finds the van at the motel, she seem to remember to have seen a same looking car at the gas station when she bought fuel)
I know Mark was probably joking about the murderer check, but I've done that before when I went on a class trip. We were a public school, so we didn't always stay at the nicest places. So my friend and I checked every hiding place possible in the rooms while our third friend stayed by the door to yell just in case. I think it's a good policy to have if you're ever worried about a place you're staying at. It makes you feel a lot safer.
I honestly thought it was normal to do that to do it for cameras; honestly, people should if they don't.
@@theairace5066 Same. I always check hotel rooms, and sometimes even public restrooms and baths, for cameras and anything else suspicious. I'm not about to be caught with my pants down, figuratively AND literally!
Ok I don't like hotels anymore...
screenshotting this bc this is honestly such a good idea that idk why i hadnt thought of before
I've always thought it was normal to do a check of hotels too (or when you get home). My family does it and if something is "off" we go full combat mode. Thankfully nothing has happened yet..
The creepy part about all this, is that this game is actually realistic. There was no fictional monsters, the only monsters being humans in your environment that you have to be aware of. These things are very possible and has probably happened before
they happen all the time
@@LWLProductions I agree, I thought that was the only thing that seemed a bit silly
@@LWLProductions The person who was knocking on the door was the one who probably had the coffee machine. When you drink the coffee, your vision starts to get blurry. As if it was some kind of drug... When Joe tells you that there have been complaints and that people have been hearing 'goofy' sounds, it sounds like our main character Holly was assaulted. SA. So the intruder used the coffee machine to drup Holly and then assault her. That's why when she wakes up at 3am, it says 'i was sedated.' To sedate is to calm. But it can also mean to be drugged. So, when Joe asks why our eyes are red, we lead him to the coffee machine. Upon inspection, well there's no need for that, since you can blatantly see that the coffee machine is no longer there, Joe tells you to go back to your room. Perhaps Joe knew? Just a small theory. Anyways i hope that answers your questions! Also you guys were here 9 days ago? 5 days ago?!
@@deerluxdarkling1670 this is the answer to your question too! Read my other reply.
@@LWLProductions yeah that part didnt make sense, but if they replaced it with her being drugged a different way, that would totally be believable
Mark should've tried: - Talking to Joe after drinking the coffee - Opening the closet with Joe following you - Exploring random stuff, like walking into the woods or some other direction Though I guess the autosave is terrible in this one, so it's probably best that he didn't try to get himself killed as much as possible.
when you follow joe, you can’t open the closet (dev lost the best plot for the secret ending)
@@chelovek176 Its not really supposed to be like a game, its supposed to follow the exact plot of what happened allegedly irl. So they wouldn't put different ''endings''
@@chii9028bending reality
The story seemed like an elaborate setup from the gas station to the motel. Her car was probably sabotaged when she was in the store. The ride she got genuinely wanted to help. There may have been someone less scrupulous on the way. Either way, she ended up at the intended motel where at least 2 accomplices were waiting in ambush. Unfortunately for them (fortunately for her), their plans kept getting interrupted by complaining guests, and the front desk man. That front desk man knew she was a target the whole time, and probably knew who the assailants were.
Yeah it was sabotaged. In Jacksepticeyes playthrough you see a van pull up next to the car and speed off when you walk outside implying they were tampering with your car. You couldn't see it here because Mark was on the text messages
from what i've read from others, there's only one guy after her. he sneaks away from the closet when she and the front desk guy leave to go find the coffee machine. also, if you explore the map a bit, the white van is there! super spooky
Isn't the front desk guy the one who punched the bad guy tho? Why would he be in on it?
@@alyssahopson5926 He probably was fine with letting whatever happen as long as it was "under wraps" or what not, but they kept getting interrupted so he had to step in himself before others caught on is my guess.
if you look closely its actually the guy from room four. its the same red car that's there before the 2 logs appear. you can also see him setting up the coffee machine and you can see him running out of your room after he was in your closet.
...I almost screamed at the guy just standing in the bathroom "cleaning" when Mark was doing the murder check... it's 5:30 in the morning lol
Same here lol. Except it was around 9 pm.
I didn’t scream but I just covered my eyes so fast that my glasses smashed my eyes 😭
My heart almost jumped out
Same lol, the way I nearly jumped out of my bed 😂
Fr same I think I had a legit heart attack 💀
mark: * actively searches for murderer * mark: * gets killed * how could this happen to me
This person is so strong! To think that the only option was to go back to sleep, it makes me shiver. R*** is not usually a theme in horror games I feel, you can just tell how real it is because it's terrifying. This definitely seems like a human trafficking thing. The manager might have insisted that they not go to the police because who knows if they're in on it.
What? It's a game based on a fake reddit post. Are you okay?
Wdym, this is from r/nosleep.
Idk if it’s about r$&@, the end credits said something about the hotel staff being part of a cult or something
@@secretlysmall thank you for censoring rape, I would have cried if I saw it in the wild of the KZhead comments section
Totally think ur right. Cops aren't known to help trafficked victims either. They're more likely to be customers actually. If the manager got busted, then he loses his victims, which means losing his precious money.
FYI, just in case it ever happens to you, people will position logs or downed trees in the road in an attempt to carjack or kidnap people going down rural roads. If you ever see a log blocking the road, turn around and take a detour. It's a very rare occurrence, but it has happened.
Huh, so that’s the reason why mom and dad always had crowbar in their car, hehe.
@@richardpaulson6002 I have a metal baseball bat and a short knife in my car.
Oh gosh. That’s so scary. Thanks for the warning.
America is so fucked up. I don't really have those worries in Canada.
You have other worries right now in Canada.
The implication that the killer/stalker brought his own coffee machine to fool the girl is really funny to me
Same tbh that kinda took me out of it and just made me laugh lol
it's a bold plan that rarely works.... but when they _really_ want coffee at 3am, that's when the old decoy vending machine bit pays off, lol
@@soupy55 Same - as scary as imagining the situation is, the sheer over the topness of this chapter completely ruined the immersion for me. So she was being targeted from the start and the guy not only messed with her car but wanted it to break down at that exact point... For no reason, since she was there for a while until someone ELSE gave her a ride. Why set this up if he's not going to do anything? What if she had gone the other way? Either that or it's a completely unrelated incident, which is even less believable to me. Then, the guy was betting on her taking a ride and going to the one room with no phone in that hotel, then on her wanting to drink coffee from the full sized machine he had setup at 3am. Did he spike all options? What if she had somehing else? What if she decided not to have coffee after not finding her desired option? And there's the fact that the machine disappeared too. The story would have been more believable if he had spiked an existing machine, the water fountain, something - but no, he actually brought his own and took it with him immediately afterwards - for the creepy "But... there's no coffee machine!" scare line. Does he carry that around often? What does the back of that van even look like? A dirty mattress and a full sized coffee machine? And also, why would he be in the room, go outside, and THEN go back and ask to be let in? Add all of this to the fact somehow every single person in this story is creepy, every place she goes has a bad vibe and off detail- to the point she states that she believes the entire town was a cult. I feel as if they went overboard with the creepy details in this one to the point of making it less believable. If it was only some of those elements it'd be scary, but all of them? Really don't think it worked. While the situation in this one feels far more dangerous, the other story felt scarier because it was more believable with the way those creepy things were very subtle. You go down stairs and the door is open. Was it like that before? Can you remember? You might see the feet rushing up the stairs out of the corner of your eye, but you might just miss it. This one is a series of terrible incidents being shoved in your face "look! is this detail not creepy?" Edit: I can't believe I'm still getting notifications over this, lol, calm down guys! I thought the touching grass comment was funny - I'm not about to deny the fact I'm terminally online. Also thank you everyone who tagged me with your own opinions :) A few people have pointed out it's based on a true story and therefore it can have creative liberties taken with it - well, yes. I was operating under the assumption that that's quite obvious, even in the previous story. The point of the discussion was precisely the fact that the embellishments made this story less immersive, which is very important for game atmosphere - specially for horror, and specially for based on a true story horror. I personally think the idea of multiple perpetrators makes it even less believable because it means it's a coincidence that this person would have all of them independently on her in a single night... But I do see how one could argue that it is more easily rationalised. Specially if they are working towards thean obscure common goal, so cheers!
Everything else but that whole coffee situation seems realistic. A coffee machine filled with spiked coffee that can be easily moved around by 1 dude? And someone having a coffee craving at 3 AM *TO HELP THEM FALL ASLEEP* ????? That part really took me out of it, other than that the game was amazing.
@@JLZ109 exactly it was kinda all over the place as much as i feel bad for the girl its just...a bit of a mess story wise lol
Mark being distracted by his phone while someone is walking right in front of him from his car to a creepy white van is somehow fitting.

Tru.
This game has so many little details that make it so creepy, seeing the killer walking around in the background of scenes leading up to the end really makes you feel uneasy when you see it and realize you were being stalked from basically the beginning. Rayll did a great job with these games

these are the kind of horror games that get me. when it’s supernatural, of course it can be scary, but when it’s the stuff that can really happen? that is so much scarier.
It's much scarier but it also makes me relieved that people report these kinds of stories. Because now I know not to get into these situations, and to always be prepared just in case. It's still very depressing tho, bc you know that this had to have happened to many many people before
"i had been told never to take rides to strangers" "i couldnt see why someone would leave someone stranded" presumably because they also got told never to give rides either.

The point of the text messages and stuff was so you would miss the guy messing with your car and leaving your room…the point being made is, if you’re not paying attention to your surroundings bad shit can happen. Always be aware and pay attention, especially if you’re in a place you do not know or in a place that you have as vibes about.
Mark: *puts dog food in trunk perfectly* Jacksepticeye: huh?
Wait what?
@@KyleJB007 Basically, in Jacksepticeye's playthrough of this, he struggled to fit the dog food in the trunk outside the gas station, so decided to take out everything else to fit it in. He then discovered that everything he had done was pointless, as all the items needed to be in the trunk. This resulted in a messed up amalgamation of everyday objects being stuffed into the car, clipping through the trunk.

There are some neat little details you missed while playing the game Mark. For example when you lead the hotel manager to where the coffee machine used to be you can see the guy from your closet sneak out of your room and scurry off behind the building. Another detail is at some point you can actually see the guy taking away the coffee machine into his room so nobody finds it.

If you report it it goes away
The whole "Murderer check" when entering a hotel room is actually a thing people should do. Not so much for other people in the closest, but for hidden cameras and recording equipment, either from the hotel itself or the previous occupant of that room.
Vents, smoke detectors, alarm clocks, pin holes in the walls, under the rim of the toilet bowl, shower drains, mirrors, etc. shine a bright light on any glass or clear plastic with a dark backing, like an alarm clock or charging block, because it could have a camera behind it
I actually do that

i think this is the most terrifying/creepiest game i’ve ever seen
i can't remember if I've watched this video before (probably didn't because i never pressed the like or dislike button) but this episode makes me more anxious than the others
It gets really creepy/gross when you realize that Holly was drugged, alone, and unknowingly sleeping in a room with a guy in her closet. And the when she is unconscious, there are "strange loud noises" heard by the neighbors. It makes it 10 times scarier if you realize that Holly may have been assaulted while she was drugged.
The guy was fapping in her closet. He didn’t leave to assault her until after she left the room with the manager because he felt that the game was up and that was his last chance. The psycho was literally masturbating in the closet thinking about what he would do to her when the drugs properly knocked her out. He knew she was still slightly awake and that it was too risky to make his move just yet. And that saved Holly honestly. His sick perversion made enough noise that the neighbours heard him and called the manager in. If he hadn’t, he’d have been able to sexually assault Holly and drag her away into a slave ring.
@@reaperofthings she was probably assaulted and when he noticed that she was coming to, he got up and ran into the closet to hide. Weird noises loud enough for the neighbors to hear dont come from some guy getting off in a closet.
I forget that this is a real story, oh god
@@Slyphantom I would like to think that, that wasn't the case because this is a real story and that would be bad
I'm not finished the video but when she woke up at 3:18am she made no comment about being naked or anything and the guy was in the closet
This whole situation gives me anxiety. Being a woman, stranded and having to hitchhike, checking your room for people who shouldn’t be there, the guy taking pictures-my gosh, THE GUY TAKING PICTURES. I’d never be able to sleep.
Wait, the taking pictures thing sounds familiar.
Me either! I'd be paranoid
same, i kept screaming at the choices mark/the game were making
i don’t think this would be too fun for a man or woman
id suggest carrying a gun lol, conceal carry works wonders
The "hello" outside the door is terrifying! If I heard that outside my door i'd have shat myself
You know what would’ve made this experience a lot less scary? a glock

@@NEMesis1413 Oh damn 😂
@@NEMesis1413 sounds like an Anthony Horrowitz story
Everytime I see a hitchhiker I just think about the I-90 strangler who picked up hitchhiking college girls and murdered them; I get that sometimes it’s a necessary evil like your car breaking down but I dearly hope that I’ll never be in that kind of situation. It’s just too dangerous in a world like ours
“That didn’t sound like a rabbit. I’m pretty sure I know what a rabbit sounds like and that definitely didn’t sound like one” is so funny to me as a rabbit owner knowing rabbits only make very quiet and small noises (like a small grunt or honk) unless they’re in danger and then they will scream, but I’ve never heard that noise in person.
ok while reading the comments, I saw a bunch of different theories and details and realized that they all fit together. *The theory that Holly was sexually assaulted is very likely to be true.* One person said that the man at the gas station talked about a woman in a dress that got r*ped and murdered. Then, the guy from the gas station cuts the wires on our car, which causes it to stop working later (you have to be in the right place at the right time to notice this detail). Then, we get picked up and brought to the motel BY THE SAME GUY THAT CAUSED OUR CAR TO STOP WORKING, and he brings us to this motel (which he picked out, not Holly/us/the player). Once we get drugged and we go to bed without checking a closed since there is a naked man in there, we wake up and we are still very disoriented. This could cause us to not realize or notice anything strange that may have happened to us during the night. The manager says that we were making "funny noises" and later a guy comes into our room, calling us a "pretty woman" or something like that. He may have been the same guy from the gas station, or the same naked guy from the closed that jumpscared Mark. Maybe they're all the same person. Here is what all the evidence points to: the guy at the gas station cuts our tires because he plans to sexually assault us at a motel he drives us to. He hides in the closet naked and assaults us in our sleep. That explains the funny noises. (To all the people who say "well her clothes were still on" or something - it's very common, especially in real life cases, for victims to have their clothes put back on by the perpetrator so they don't notice something is immediately wrong). When we wake up, the man in the closet is gone, and we are still disoriented from the drug we took. This explains why we may not have noticed any odd sensations or differences in how we felt when we first woke up. After, the guy calls us a pretty woman (implying that he has both seen us before and that he is attracted to us, so he was probably the guy from the gas station) and breaks in. The guy who works at the motel likely knows what is going on too, or at least part of it. His demeanor shifts when he realized that Holly, like all the other guests at the motel (he mentioned something about Holly being the "only sober guest" or something earlier), had some sort of drug. The perpetrator has probably brought many other people here and drugged them in the same way. Then, the motel guy even knows to come in and stop the guy when he breaks into the motel. This is definitely not the first time this has happened to someone. Also - this is based off of a presumably true story, and it may not be completely accurate. Maybe if this is true, Holly wanted to exaggerate the way she got drugged, or maybe she wanted to leave out the sexual assault details as they would be highly traumatizing.
she probably forgot the highly traumatizing details bc trauma does that to your brain
@@monbub I agree - either that or the details were intentionally left out of the game by her for whatever reason
@@thebacteriawasbeatentodeath or left out by the developer. They want to scare people. Not traumatize them.

It wasn't the man who drove her to the hotel, he was just some random guy. He cannot be found anywhere else, it's instead mr milkman over here in his geeky white shirt who rped holly. looking at Jack's vid, a commenter talked about every small detail, like how the van that cut the wires is behind a fence, or the red truck having its trunk open, the simple explanation is:

I don't know if people just don't want to say it or if they genuinely don't pick up on it, but the protagonist definitely got sexually assaulted after being drugged. If you open the closet the man inside is naked, and the manager complains about "goofy noises".
Some other comment said that you can see the guy walking out of your room when you lead the manager to the coffee machine..... But the medicine is most likely to cut the effect of the sedative.
@@listlessdandelion3587 You can see the stalker the first time at the gas station, so I don't think the manager was in on it.
Almost no one asks how this guy has a fast acting sedative, nor do mention that he would have had to pick up some large coffee machine.
@@i_am_squishy6230 it's not actually a true story if you didn't know that.
@@KaiSub i don't know about the reddit post, since I haven't read it, but the game is definitely exaggerating the story. There were so many points in the story where something could've gone wrong with the guy's plan. The most ridiculous part is definitely an entire coffee machine being used and then hidden away by the culprit. Not to mention the hitchiking part, where _anyone_ could've picked Holly up and taken her to any particular distance. Honestly, it's just much more believable that a bunch of random coincidences occured throughout the story, with none of the incidents actually having much of a relation with the others. As a game, it makes for a creepy story, but as a real life incident, it just seems way too exaggerated. Then again, I could be wrong and it's 100% true. But looking at the amount of things that would've been needed to go right for the assaulter's plan to work just make it very hard to believe.
I first heard and saw the opening as “This happened to me when I was 9” “I was driving by myself” And I was like ‘Now something don’t add up here’
Okay but when Tommy was just standing in the bathroom door, my life flashed before my eyes.
I love how this game perfectly portrays the feeling of helplessness during this stuff. Never been in a situation like this before. Hoping that it's not gonna happen ever to me.
I think my country is more about gangs and conspiracy theorists so I *think* I'll be ok but it's still very scary

9:45 "why is it always bridges that have horrible stories attached to them?" **pewdiepie bridge flashbacks**
Useful advice for anyone that finds himself or herself in a situation like this one: Better safe than sorry. When your gut feeling tells you to get the fuck out, GET THE FUCK OUT. The world is filled with creeps, murderers and worse. Don't wait for them to make a move. Lonely roads, forests and motels are a big no-no if you're alone. Try not to go by yourself, SPECIALLY at night.
True that. I feel like our big brains have evolved so much that we ignore one of our only remaining Instincts from lizard brain times.
Grazie Luciano. Bei consigli
what if they go normal instead of specially?
Are murderers getting more common? Because this was made 10 days ago, I can't believe people are talking about murderers right now I don't feel like there Is the man behind the slaughter nearby
Yeah. The first mistake was taking the long road instead of waiting the traffic out.
The manager actually saving you from the stalker is such a good change from the cliche in horror.
Can we make a petition to KZhead? Rather than make a bs upgrade like removing dislike maybe a features a strong one that can get rid off and kill every bot in comments just by click reporting each of them? 1. I'm tired looking the same comments over and over again. 2. They stealing comments from people 3. Ffs they just make this comment section full of bullshit with their c+p comments and their ugly pfp
Well, cliche horror is just telling a guided story. This was a reframing of actual events. If the manager, like a normal human being, called the cops and attacked the intruder, they can't just create a human trafficking ring ran by the manager that didn't happen, lol. But yeah, it is nice.
The bots are getting grosser over time.
@@zoru_pines I think KZhead's solution is going to be removing the comments all together.

9:42 i think bridges are attached in horror stories because unfortunately many people lost their lives either by a car accident or attempt so is connected to some tragedy. Edit: Idk the statistics is just an assumption
Also maybe because it symbolizes transformation; whenever you cross a bridge, you are, after all, going from point A to point B. It's a boundary, from one side to the other; that's why many ghost stories involved them.
@@colt9836 That also makes sense as well, good point of view 😊
It's really disturbing to think about but the character was sedated for 3 hours, "goofy" noises were heard, and she woke up in her bed. She didn't comment on feeling strange or anything, but would you in an internet post? She was probably assaulted during that time.
yeah, all the random details in the game that don't seem to have much significance actually fit in perfectly with that theory. Here is what all the evidence points to in my opinion: the guy at the gas station cuts our car wires because he plans to sexually assault us at a motel he drives us to. He hides in the closet naked (? possible explanation for guy in closet jumpscare) and assaults us in our sleep. That explains the funny noises. When we wake up, the man in the closet is gone, and we are still disoriented from the drug we took. This explains why we may not have noticed any odd sensations or differences in how we felt when we first woke up. After, the guy calls us a pretty woman (implying that he has both seen us before and that he is attracted to us, so he was probably the guy from the gas station) and breaks in. The guy who works at the motel likely knows what is going on too, or at least part of it. His demeanor shifts when he realized that Holly, like all the other guests at the motel (he mentioned something about Holly being the "only sober guest" or something earlier), had some sort of drug. The perpetrator has probably brought many other people here and drugged them in the same way. Then, the motel guy even knows to come in and stop the guy when he breaks into the motel. This is definitely not the first time this has happened to someone. Also - this is based off of a presumably true story, and it may not be completely accurate. Maybe if this is true, Holly wanted to exaggerate the way she got drugged, or maybe she wanted to leave out the sexual assault details as they would be highly traumatizing.
@@thebacteriawasbeatentodeath very clear explanation! Thanks I get to know the backstory more!
@@ahhhsothisishowyouchangean162 thank you :]
It’s more than likely that most things were made up or enhanced for gameplay. The coffee machine being moved around despite its weight, the idea that someone would cut the wires of a random girl’s car at a gas station hoping that someone else would come along and take her to a particular motel that same evening, and the fact that the manager had pills ready to go in that drawer makes no sense realistically. Irl, I doubt Holly was assaulted. If she was, than it did not happen like this. However, it does make for some sickening and bone-chilling in-game realizations…
why do people use "sexual assault" to describe rape? rape Is a way more severe and traumatic crime than simply "assaulted". using anymore other than rape just downplays how horrible and traumatic rape really is
The thing I like about this story is how accurately it captures so many fears I have as a woman. Being by myself in an area with strange men, the stalker in the bathroom, being sedated. I practically jumped out of my seat when he had to hide in the closet
Yeah, i feel you. Me, a man wouldn't feel that much of a fear as you women's do. Not because i think that men are better. It's because som men today are horrible and can do really bad things to you women
as a trans guy this stuff reminds me of the little privilege I do have sometimes..women and everybody else deserve better smh
@@masonthejar8890 yeah, as a woman I agree I wish some men of this world wasnt like this. Hell, i dont even feel safe at the sagest places anymore due to creeps.
Ive been in some situations with shit similar to this happening, and as a woman I was already constantly on the lookout for such things. Thats why I was prepared when they happened to me. I feel so vulnerable all the time, i cant even go out alone anymore without feeling like prey and being on guard to literally every little sound and movement. Head on a SWIVEL.
Its sad we have to do it... i dont even realise its what i do until i properly think about it... even when im not alone in a hotel i still check...
25:12 I’m blown away not only did he cut out the white noice and not completely butcher the audio but he also made it play louder in one ear depending on where mark was looking
Honestly this game hands down has to be the most terrifying horror game I've played/watched. Most other horror games you can use the excuse its "not possible in our real world". The excuse is thrown out the window with this one, and just the fact this is based on a real story just adds another layer of how terrifying our actual world is.
"I presume the clean status of a bathroom isnt a thing in the first place." As someone that spent sometime working at a gas station, you take that back. I make sure my bathrooms are immaculate, as I have to use it too.
I do the same thing with the restaurant I work at. I make them spotless, because I use it too.
You would be one of the few clean ones then
Yeah I worked at a 7-11 for a little while and the one time one of my coworkers walked in the bathroom to find poop on the floor and all over the walls.
It is. Takes me 40 minutes, but I make them so clean.
I respect you. A lot of gas stations I’ve been too are shitty, it’s gross
Mark: "oh its a game of real stories people survived." Also Mark: "I'm gonna check where a possible murderer hid. Do things that are very not survival instinct"

@@lylawinters3276 Just look up hitchBOT. There were two of them, the first hitchhiked around Canada and developed a following, to the point it's GPS had to be turned off to prevent crowds. The second went around Germany for 10 days, and around the Netherlands for 3 weeks. One of them (I don't know which) was then set up in Boston to try and cross to San Francisco, but it was destroyed and stripped for parts in Philadelphia.

the worst part about this whole game is the guy behind the door saying "I need your help, please open the door," because pretending as if they're elderly or injured is one of the biggest tactics murderers/rapists use to lure women; they take advantage of our empathy and it's terrifying.

The point isn't to hide it's to survive holding on long enough to find help.
@@SquaulDuNeant apart from the autosave thing which could easily take anyone out of the moment being sent back that far, the mic issue wasn't necessarily the game design. Could be the capture setup he's using. There are other playthroughs that show it works the way it should.

Watching Sean's gameplay of this part and Mark's really shows how different their mindset is. Sean fully experienced the horror, while Mark completely was taken out of the atmosphere and didn't feel a thing at the end.
it was just the autosave featured that ruined it for mark, he was really into it up until then
Mark just has WAY too much experience with horror games
I love watching both of them play horror games. I do wish Mark had explored and looked around and noticed more of the creepy moments at the gas station and the motel though. Also, would have been nice if his voice had been properly picked up in the closet. Was still very entertaining to watch.
Well… they’re not the same person soo of course their mindsets are different
45:14 and onward He says the atmosphere was great and all but it doesn’t work due to how he had to replay everything, he got taken out of it. So it’s not really Mark’s mindset, it’s the game’s auto save
I've always thought humans are more terrifying than anything else so this game has a really creepy feeling about it.
this game and the closing time game that’s like Starbucks themed are the two most realistically terrifying games on the planet because they simulate a very real fear that I have on a regular basis
Markiplier: "I didn't go in the closet because I got jumpscared there" *First jumpscare of the game being in the bathroom*
