## Summary

This video is a full playthrough of the indie horror game 'Moldrise,' where the player navigates a mysterious apartment building while managing infection, hunger, and thirst. The gameplay involves solving puzzles, interacting with quirky residents, and uncovering the building's dark secrets, all while being compelled to reach the roof.

### Key Points

- **Game Introduction** [00:02] — The player starts a game called 'Moldrise' and chooses the 'Infected' game mode, which is recommended for the intended experience, emphasizing dying and learning as part of the game.
- **Initial Infection** [00:40] — The player's left foot is infected with a fungal growth between the fourth and fifth toe, and they feel a strong urge to go up to the roof.
- **Meeting Dr. Lee** [02:03] — The player meets Dr. Lee on the eighth floor, who recognizes the foot fungus and provides lotion, but warns that it won't stop the urge to climb.
- **Drinking Contaminated Water** [05:45] — The player drinks from a filthy drinking fountain, which increases thirst and infection, highlighting the game's survival mechanics.
- **Samson's Shop** [07:16] — The player meets Samson, a shopkeeper who offers items in exchange for tasks, such as fetching Crazy Crunchy Nuts from a vending machine.
- **Janitor Encounter** [11:47] — The player meets the janitor, who is grumpy and mentions the elevator is broken, but later reveals he can fix it if given a fuse.
- **Chef Bronson** [22:51] — The player meets Chef Bronson on the 16th floor, who teaches them that drinking Coca-Cola before eating moldy food neutralizes the mold, allowing safe consumption.
- **Nurse Betty** [38:22] — The player meets Nurse Betty on the 18th floor, who sells hospital-grade antifungal lotion for four coins, stronger than the vending machine's option.
- **Chained Brother** [44:45] — The player discovers a man chained to a radiator on a high floor, who reveals his sister Linda chained him to prevent him from climbing due to the infection's urge.
- **Confronting Linda** [55:53] — The player confronts Linda on the 13th floor, who admits to chaining her brother, believing it was the right thing to do to protect him from the building's influence.
- **Gate Code Discovery** [01:00:28] — The player learns from the Colonel that the gate code to the premium floors is hidden in plain sight, painted above the mailboxes by a graffiti artist.
- **Meeting Meredith** [01:21:09] — The player meets Meredith on the 28th floor, who speaks cryptically about the building and the 'family,' and gives the player a task to deliver letters.
- **Lawyer Sean** [01:30:28] — The player meets Sean, a lawyer, who explains that locking a fire escape door is illegal (NFPA 101) and suggests using a letter to pressure the janitor into giving the roof key.
- **Roof Key Location** [01:46:09] — The janitor reveals the roof key is hidden in the basement behind a central pipe next to a yellow leaking hand wheel, requiring the player to get on their knees to find it.
- **Ending and Revelation** [01:54:30] — The player reaches the roof and finds a peaceful ending, but a news bulletin reveals the fungal outbreak is spreading nationwide, not just from the nuts, and the game ends with a message about decisions.

### Conclusion

The video concludes with the player successfully reaching the roof, revealing the game's core mechanic: the infection compels you to climb, and the ending is the same regardless of interactions. The player highly recommends the game, noting its clever design and the ability to complete it without talking to anyone once you know the solutions.

sparkle in your eye? >> Yes. Yes. There it is. That is the first step. Okay. I'm going to teach you one secret. Okay. I hope you follow the steps. To create true masterpieces, one there's one important lesson. You need

delicious. I don't know what's wrong with people. one. Delicious. I also love a pizza Hawaii. I do.

come back up to 11, and then go back down, and then go back up. sequence now. I know that I can just That is really interesting. And I had a
feeling it would be something like that that you could finish the game without ever having to talk to anybody like Outer Wilds. Like once you know the solution, you can technically go to the end. Oh yeah, [snorts]
anyway cuz I was like, "What if I just get hungry? It would be nice to have Um, no. I don't need anything else. no. I don't need anything else. God, this is tedious.
I was like, go up or 12 go down, which is better. It's literally the same is better. It's literally the same thing. like a minute.
Okay, I want the flashlight. Thank you. See you later, dag. See you later, dag. This key is an absolute savior, though.

Okay, I can use a fungal lotion and a cola. cola. Where the [ __ ] is it, though? Oh, damn. Damn. That's hidden there. That's so
cool that the code for the top stairs is hidden here and the key is hidden down there all that time. that time. I really like that.
Is there other endings you can do? I'm sure you can go back and do other quests within like the brother and sister. Maybe there's something you can do there to get a more amicable ending. But I wonder if there's
different endings for the game in totality.
>> Wow. >> Keep going. talk in my head and I was doing the like it's only up on the roof, >> was that the voice my character was hearing? Was this beautiful siren song?
>> Just follow my voice. >> I'm doing it. >> The voice then is just like jump. >> Come up with me.
>> this way. >> Beautiful golden rays. >> Beautiful golden rays. There you are. I've been so patient.
The wind's better up here. That's the part that matters. Feel the air mov. part that matters. Feel the air mov. >> Good. Now the hard part's mine.
Rest. You find the quiet.
with this special news bulletin. Health officials have confirmed that the fungal outbreak is no longer limited to people who consumed the recalled crazy crunchy nuts. [music] New infections have now been reported across the country with no
known connection to the contaminated product. Authorities have not yet identified how the fungus is spreading. The public is urged to remain calm, instructions. >> Damn, it was the nuts.
>> Excuse me. Oh [ __ ]
Reach the end in infected mode. Reach the end in story mode. [ __ ] yeah. Damn, that's a really good game. I enjoyed that immensely.
My family for motivation. Oh, that's sweet. ever seen Wreck, it's really similar. Like a building it's really similar. Like a building gets an outbreak and then people in it
trapped. People on the outside quarantine the place and then the movie ends not on the roof, but on the top floors. It's a really good movie. I I would highly recommend it. How many of your decisions began as someone else's
idea and how many became yours without ever noticing? off and then I would go to the top and the voice would be like it's [snorts]
like um Cortiseps, which is what The Last of Us is based on, but the real life Cortiseps is a fungal infection that they always show it with ants and then it makes ants. It hijacks their brain and an impulse to climb a tree and
then it blooms and spores and blossoms and then it spreads. So, this is the same thing. That's really cool. Wait, I want to try it again now. If I can do it. How many people who finished the game wanted to try it this way?
the game wanted to try it this way? So now I can get some stuff here. [ __ ] gossip rag. I just need a cola and a pizza, right?
is. There's a cola on the stairs somewhere. Yeah, the dog barks. And then the pizza's down here.
you. Actually, don't need to talk to anybody. What's the code? Uh 862. There's a fungal lotion and a pizza and a dollar. It's all right there.
a dollar. It's all right there. Was it 862? 862. 862. 862. 862. Was it 862? 862. 862. 862. 862. And then once you get down here,

862 862 862 862 862 It gives you exactly what you need. Uh, go as high as possible, right? 862 862 862 862 862
very first time? 862.
Wow. Got up to the roof without talking to a single person. I assume it's the same ending. >> It's all right.
>> Follow me upward. >> Beautiful up here. Stay with me. >> Stay with me.

Good. [sighs] Now the hard part's mine. Rest. You find the quiet.
clever as well. How many of your decisions began as someone else's idea? I mean, I didn't talk to a single person on this run, so it's all me, baby. Excellent. Excellent. Excellent game. I had a great time playing that. When I
started, I was a little nervous because when you have mechanics like that, like sequence to do things in and you have to talk to this person to get that to talk to that person to go down to go back up. Infection and thirst and hunger. I
and I didn't think I'd be able to keep up with it. But it's actually really straightforward. It's not nearly as complex as it seems. And the fact that you can tell anybody who plays it for the first time to be like, "Yeah, drink
happens." And like, "Oh, check behind that pipe." That's so cool. It gives you everything to set you up right then and there, right from the beginning. Go if you have disposable income and the ability to do so. But I highly enjoyed
that. One of the best that we've played this year. But that's going to do it for Maybe check on your left foot and I'll see you next
