# My Favourite Game This Year So Far  | Mole (FULL GAME)

> Source: [My Favourite Game This Year So Far  | Mole (FULL GAME)](https://youtube.com/watch?v=bxLxy6NcgAo)

## Summary

Jacksepticeye plays the recently released game 'Mole', a first-person horror title about drilling deep into the Earth to find a mysterious signal. He highlights the game's immersive, tactile mechanics and its disturbing psychological narrative, comparing it favourably to titles like 'Iron Lung' and 'Mouthwashing'. He concludes it's the best indie horror game he's played in 2024.

### Key Points

- **Game Discovery** [0:29] — Jack discovered 'Mole' on Steam's new and trending tab; it has great reviews, and he goes in blind, drawing parallels to his experience with 'Mouthwashing'.
- **Main Character & Setting** [7:04] — Jack identifies the protagonist as Victor Kaminsky, an ex-citizen and expert navigator on a drill ship called the 'Mole', with a mission to find a signal deep beneath the earth.
- **Story Themes** [33:03] — Jack infers that the 'White Rabbit Signal' might be affecting the crew by tapping into their memories and fears, causing hallucinations and paranoia.
- **Psychological Horror** [56:57] — Jack discovers that the signal is deeply tied to Victor's past, specifically the death of his son, 'Pro', and the medical debt incurred from the 'Vosto Initiative' for memory preservation.
- **Final Reveal** [158:42] — In the game's ending, Jack learns that Victor Kaminsky was the monster all along, having killed his crewmates due to 'signal sickness' in a desperate attempt to reach the signal for a chance to save his son.
- **Final Verdict** [164:08] — Jack concludes the game is incredible, praising its tactile mechanics, storytelling, and psychological depth. He highly recommends it to fans of 'Iron Lung' and 'Mouthwashing'.

### Conclusion

"Mole" delivers a satisfying and immersive short horror experience, blending psychological horror with tactile gameplay and a deeply personal story about loss and redemption. It succeeds by leaving much to the player's imagination, creating a rich and textured narrative.

## Transcript

It calls. It awakes. It lies. It fers.
It smiles.
Top of the morning de ladies. My name is
Jack the guy and welcome to a game
called Mole which I have heard is very
very good. It just came out on Steam. I
saw it on the new and trending tab. Has
great reviews but I don't know anything
about it. The last time this happened,
we got a game like Mouthwashing, which
was phenomenal and probably the best
horror game of last year. I'm excited to
play this. The menu is very cute because
you can like pick up your tapes. You can
turn off the computer
and then put your tape in.
Am I going to get to play as a mole? Do
I have to dig?
We've taken to calling it the white
rabbit signal.
>> What I'm about to show you is the best
recording we have. Oh, you're off to a
great start.
>> Just don't look directly at the screen.
Oh, you're off to a great start. This is
singing all of the things I like. Whoa.
Okay, I looked directly at it. Am I
dead?
>> We discovered it after the Matroska
incident.
frequency doesn't play nice with our
instruments.
>> All we know is that it's calling from
deep below the earth. Yeah.
>> And that most likely isn't natural. Can
I just look at it?
>> Any contact with the signal seems to
result in death. Am I dead? Oh,
>> what the [ __ ] Most report hearing
voices of parents, siblings, or old
friends.
>> For me,
>> people they have lost.
>> I saw a field of wheat.
>> Even stranger, those voices all repeat
the same word. Mole. Oh, dig.
Oh yeah.
Okay.
Got it. Same as every other game. It's
kind of weird that they still have to
say that at the start of games. Whoa.
God is blinding me. This reminds me of,
have any of you ever played Vagrant
Story on the PS1? I know, shocking that
that game's on the PS1. It's phenomenal.
But the stuff about the main character,
like the flashback scenes remind me of
this.
Petro Kaminsky.
I must dig.
I'm still here.
Find me.
Dig. Hell yeah.
That's the thing you click on to start
the game.
Good morning. Wake up.
Did I see a hand symbol show up?
Oh, shut up.
Oh my god, I can't see anything. Am I
supposed to be able to see? Ah, glasses.
Offer of enlistment to Victor Kaminsky.
Victor, I have spoken to the committee
again, and they're all prepared to pay
off your debts in full, and they will
pull some strings so that you can be
reinstated as a citizen again. They are
still skeptical, but I believe they know
as well as I that you are the best
navigator still alive. This might be the
last chance I'm able to give you. I know
you make me proud.
Okay. Mole.
Mole. Oh, that's an angel. I thought
that was a [ __ ]
Okay, this place sucks.
No cigarettes standard pack crew issued
comfort always running low.
It um what was that game I played that
was based on the wool books where I was
like drilling through a doorway and then
they were trying to stop me to from
drilling. It was a very short horror
game, but it was really cool and stuck
with me. This reminds me of that.
Okay, let's light one up. Oh, yeah. That
cams the shakes.
Okay, empty out the ashes. That
cigarette's still good. You could have
just smoked that one.
Oh.
Oh,
okay. What is this? Is this the thing I
found? Unlocks dorm 4 deck floor. Insert
into a door panel. Victor Kaminsky.
Drill vessel piloting. Navigational
course corrections. Evaluating drilling
intensity based on environment.
Divorced 43 under review for
citizenship. And I have a criminal
history.
Damn.
Okay. I want to go deeper down than
anyone.
Okay. Did I draw this at 43 years old?
Do not leave in panel.
Whoa, that's cool.
Whoa,
dude. This is sick.
Is this based on wool
herb silo as the TV show is called?
Message 9th of November 1982. That
changed into something else for a
second.
11th of April. Wait, I want to see that.
What year was that?
1979. Huh. Ship atmosphere. Flow rate
stable. Scrubbers online. Fan system in
on a ship.
Oh, I'm in a drill ship. Current depth
6,914
m. Our target is 8,754
m.
Cool.
Huh. Okay. Navigator Victor Kaminsky.
Who else is here? Engineer,
administrator,
e Oh, geologist. I said ecologist.
Breakfast lunch.
This is sick. It gives me uh Iron Lung
vibes like the stuff David put in the
game. It has a similar aesthetic.
Unread order available in terminal.
Access communication system and review
immediately.
Huh? Communications. Oh,
no. Inserted cassette. Okay,
man. Is just telling me the same thing.
Oh, new cassette.
Order inscribed. Ready to remove
inbox status. No new orders. What did I
do?
Strata communication system W and S.
Huh. Oh, A and D as well. What is going
on? I know the white rabbit is
disrupting most communications, but
you've been at a standstill for over 12
hours now. I hope this is just another
Kaminsky issue, but you must get him
back into the cockpit. Right now, you
are far too off course for the autopilot
to keep up without a navigator. This is
also a gentle reminder that all ship
systems are dependent on the power that
is generated by the drill itself,
including temperature control. Getting
the drill moving again must be your
absolute top priority. Otherwise, you'll
be boiled alive in a few hours. For now,
you will have to divert power yourself
by rrooting the fuse box on the wreck
floor. I refuse to cancel this mission
over one drunk. Too much is at stake.
Remember, we're all depending on you for
tomorrow.
For those who come after.
Okay, I'm going to keep this tape.
Okay. Recruit for tomorrow. Wow.
Soviet era propaganda in full swing for
a drill going into the Earth.
Maybe not the Earth. Who knows?
This is a big ship in terms of like what
it's doing.
Dorms, wreck room, deck, engine hall,
engine room. This thing is massive.
Oh god. Oh, that's not good.
Oh, for [ __ ] sake. I thought I heard
steps behind me.
That bad. I bad.
What am I supposed to do?
Oh, step one, fuse installation. Insert
the fuse into the sockets. Do not force
insertion. Misalignment may cause
shortening. Okay. Load calibration.
Rotate the middle selector knob to match
the amount of fuses installed. Okay, so
one is that
yes
uh circuit activation. Press and hold
the red glowing charge button until the
indicator light turns solid green.
Okay.
Uh phase alignment. Flip switches 1 3 6
and seven into the upright on position.
Switches may be stiff. Apply steady
pressure 13, six, and seven.
Okay. Step five, main breaker engage for
Okay.
Ha.
Whoa.
Tesla's off course. Course correction
required, bro. Big reveal.
Things have gone [ __ ] south here on
Fraggle Rock.
What the [ __ ] What happened to you?
Who are you? The geologist.
Famous geologist makes groundbreaking
discovery. Signal found by Dr. Ritzenko.
Can I read this? I can't get any closer
to it.
Whoa. Okay. You were stabbed to death
with a screwdriver.
Oh [ __ ] Is the whole crew dead? Am I
the only one alive?
Nation puts faith in mole. Ah, we're the
mole. A strata M13 drilling vessel,
affectionately dubbed the mole by its
fourman crew. It's set to depart later
this week, targeting the near impossible
depth of 8,700 m. What's the deepest
humans have ever dug in real life?
Mission director Stan Adamo is hoping to
locate the source of the enigmatic white
rabbit signal, which experts believe may
be causing the disturbances currently
plaguing the nation. The M13 is by some
seen as mining and energy conglomerate
Strata's attempt to set things right
after previous drilling vessel suddenly
went missing at lower depths, its crew
cut off.
Damn, this is like the plot of a movie
immediately.
Like um there is a movie where they go
into the earth. Is it just called core?
I think it's called core. Wonder if this
is uh inspired by it. To do heating
system cycling regular irregular not
critical check ballast tanks again. Crew
fatigue abort three yes and one no.
I'm curious if you were the no and you
got killed for it. Vessels of course
check diagnostics in the cockpit located
on the deck.
Okay. Source of massive blackouts
discovered. Signal found by Dr. Ritzeno.
Dude, this is right up my alley. I love
[ __ ] like this.
Okay, just have to go down one more.
How do I Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I know. I'm trying to fix it, bro.
I have to turn on power again down here.
Oh, I have to do it from up here
and put it in the deck. It's one uh one
367.
Oh, wait. [ __ ] Was I supposed to do
that first?
Okay,
Sinial
Progress. Oh, bloody,
you have [ __ ] nailed the aesthetic on
this fix vent. Good idea. Okay, I need a
green and I need
engine. You don't have one.
It's in the office.
Oh, I hope I don't find more dead
people. Mission goals, keep drilling
until target depth is reached. Locate
signal source. Find out what happened to
previous expedition for tomorrow. This
is like Iron Long meets expedition 33.
Find out what happened to previous
expedition for tomorrow. Something went
wrong with vent tell Bowden.
Okay,
cuz now my brain is immediately in
expedition 33.
It's like who is the paintress and why
is she doing it? Now, your mileage
varies depending on how that outcome
actually plays out. I'm not going to
spoil what happens in exposition 33. Um,
but that premise alone, I'm like, that's
like a novel. That's like a movie. I'm
in. And this one immediately as well, we
have a clear goal. We know who's
involved. It's really simple on on
paper. And there's a white rabbit signal
we're trying to get to. That is [ __ ]
gold. It's like Stalker. Have you ever
watched that or played it
or read it? Bodan has been losing teeth,
which makes him even more irritable than
usual. Other than that, the man seems to
be keeping it together better than the
rest of us. Speculating it might be
because he has a family waiting for him
back home. Something to keep him going.
Victor, White Rabbit's sickness is hard
on us all, but seems to be hitting
Victor harder than most. Not surprising,
sadly. The signal seems intent on
digging up the parts of the past we'd
prefer to forget. And Victor was doing
his best to forget. I know. I'll get to
it. Even before the mission. Remarkable
that he's still one of the nation's best
navigators even when half drunk. Still
giving him some extra attention. Need
him to know that he's not alone.
Okay. How about this Ysef? Also, what's
white rabbit sickness? Sickness. Signis
Yseph lives on his own little world as
usual. He claims to be receiving
instructions about the white rabbit from
a dead friend, which is never a good
sign. Getting near impossible to
communicate with him about anything
other than the signal. As long as I've
known him, he's always been obsessive
about his work. This seems different.
Perhaps he simply sees more than the
rest of us. Stan, there's also a cat
online called Stan who gives a little
like
like the same expression over and over.
ever. Whenever I see the name Stean, I
think of the cat. Joints are acting up.
Eyesight seems to be deteriorating. And
emptying the bladder is more difficult
than I'm remembering. It's ever been.
What could be said? The white rabbit
seems to want to remind me of my age.
She is there, too. Of course, she always
is. Bro, I This is like,
oh, there's [ __ ] texture here. I
[ __ ] love it. Emergency 80164188.
Okay. But I need that at some point.
Cockpit.
Okay.
Oh, I really thought someone was going
to be dead in here.
Okay. So, what's below us? The engine
hole and the engine room.
Oh, that dripping makes it sound like
someone's up there.
I wonder if we can find more fuses at
some point.
breaking through to the future strata.
That's so good.
Such cool iconography
cuz like you need green, but I only have
blue. Blue can't get me into the
other place up above, can it?
Cuz it's a communication one. But there
is Oh god, there's no lights up here
now.
Where is that? Where's the blue one?
Yeah.
I was like, this is a message.
Check diagnostics in the cockpit located
in the deck. Okay. So, that is my goal.
Jesus. Trying to get around here when I
can't see anything. Yeah, engine is the
next one.
So, how do I get in? North, south, east,
west
h.
And the engine I can't get into either.
Fix vent.
Oh, buddy. I'm sorry.
I'm going to have to steal that [ __ ]
screwdriver that killed you.
Can I see it?
Ah, I have to turn the lights back on.
At least it's not that hard. What if his
body was gone? That wouldn't make any
sense, but it would be cool to think
about. Oh, wait. Maybe I can read this
like this. Ah,
famous geologist makes groundbreaking
discovery signal found by Dr.
Is something trying to contact us from
below? The frequency of the signal seems
to change depending on the observer. Dr.
Hitenko says, "In plain terms, it speaks
in different ways depending on who's
listening. Ever since the Matroska
incident, most citizens of the span have
in some way or another experienced Oh,
spurn. Spurn. SPRN.
Cool.
Okay.
67
67 67
Oh god, I actually have to unscrew.
I am the one who does the screwing.
I see. Oh Jesus. Oh, I would not trust
this.
I'm lucky that I have developed a
version of my life that does not ever
have me crawling through a vent ever.
Ever
because this is just stupid.
Is that a plant?
It's making that sound.
Something's moving up there.
I'm also getting like Event Horizon
vibes and Sunshine.
Also great films if you've ever seen
them.
Throne 7:32. and an angel descended upon
the earth and wiped every tear from
their eyes.
What if where I'm going is just hell?
What if the signal is Satan on his
throne in pandemonium?
How do I get there?
Oh, [ __ ] yeah. Oh, [ __ ] yeah. Gibbus
input coordinates.
This is iron long. I don't know where
I'm going.
Oh no.
What?
Are you [ __ ] kidding me?
Uh,
what?
Sergey Voronov. Yeah, it was a bit warm
down there. Depth achieved 3042.
Elena Moratovva. The earth is not a foe.
She is a challenge. Depth achieved 4287.
Alexia Patrov. The deeper we go, the
higher our nation stands. 4904.
And we're at 6482. Is that us? I can't
remember.
Oh god. What in the [ __ ] back rooms
is this?
Why am I in a classroom? I've gone
crazy. I've got white rabbit sickness
all over my head.
Oh, green. Nice.
Like a piece missing in it.
Strata Institute of Navigational Studies
Navigator Aptitude Final Examination
Drill Vessel Steering Systems. Developed
and administered on behalf of the
government and people of the SPRN. Do
not turn this page until you are told to
do so. Can I turn the page?
Okay.
One record.
Okay. You pull a lever down, the drill
go, and then tape.
Two, process data. Tape into computer
equals Yes. And then, Professor Adamco,
you get a cassette and then you get
coordinates.
Uhhuh.
So up is x coordinates and down is
ycoordinates.
Where the [ __ ] is this record thing?
Was that back here?
Yes.
So you're the
record thing, I'm assuming.
Navigation cassette.
Okay.
Seismic data encoded take out cassette.
Did we set off a blast
to get like seismic data to be like Oh
yeah, we go. Oh, piece is missing. It's
the [ __ ] turn parts. That's cool. We
set out a blast to get like a shock wave
of it. Um,
data encrypted must be decrypted in a
seismic terminal. Didn't I just do that?
Wait, what was the next step?
Oh, yeah. We don't put it in that yet.
We put it in a computer. A kaper.
Computer. Decode this.
Diagnostic report. Current course
outdated. Input coordinates here.
Waypoint set. Yes. Left engine

operational. Yes. Where's the Are you
the
computer?
Decrypt data and press space. Okay, I'm
pressing it.
Ground density 4. Is that good? What?
What's the ground density here in my
house?
Okay.
I don't want to [ __ ] something up and
then have to restart it all. I'm sure
I'm not going to do that. But we do up
and then down.
I don't know if that matters, but I'm
following protocol.
But what about left and right?
Okay, that doesn't do. Okay. Y73x50.
How do I
Oh [ __ ]
Okay. So, I'm setting it. How do I know
where I'm supposed to go?
Oh, drill speed at four is the highest
ground per centimeter cubed. Exceeding
max speed risks overheating or drill
collapse. So, I have to do 30 RPM. Oh,
no. That's the lowest RPM for the
highest density.
You got it. Okay. I'm confused about
what coordinates I just got.
Cassette inserted. signal why I
Okay, I got the terrain density, but I
didn't get did I get coordinates.
I don't know where where how what
am I dumb?
Get coordinates.
Yeah, but how?
I did the computer thing and then you
put it in and you get the coordinates.
But
oh, it got dark in here. What the [ __ ]
Why'd it get dark? How did it get
burned?
What happens if I put it back in here?
Seismic data found. Recording will
overwrite the existing memory. Okay, I
don't want to do that
cuz then I can put this in, but I can
change these coordinates,
can't I?
Oh. Oh, [ __ ] dumb.
I was looking for a number, not it's
just it's laid out in picture form,
guys.
That sucks.
Um, and then this is the RPM. So, 30
Is this good?
Am I Am I doing anything?
Input coordinates to steer to target.
I thought I just did. 28 and 26.
Oh,
that's confusing. I thought I had to
pull it back for some reason. Uh, Y was
30 and X was 26.
Hell yeah. Now, can I go forward?
Oh [ __ ]
Have I Have I done it? Auto.
That's sick.
What? Vital task zero. Curtain course
set. Something's ringing.
Hello.
Where am I? Where are you?
God.
It reacts to us as we drill, as we get
closer.
>> It's alive, Victor.
I know things don't seem good now,
>> but we have to keep digging.
>> Come meet me in my dorm. I have to show
you what I found.
>> Cool.
Something's heavy upstairs.
The body is gone.
Oh, I didn't really come in and check
here before.
[ __ ] is that? Oh, another fuse.
Okay.
Oh, I can't use this right now. I'll
keep that for later.
Oh my god, there's blood everywhere.
It calls. It awakes. It lies. It fers.
It smiles.
What the [ __ ] is that?
What the [ __ ] What did that say on the
screens? I don't know. Where am I going?
Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew.
Survive
the monster. Bro, what the [ __ ] is
happening?
I can't leave without my gllet.
Breathe out.
You did well.
That was nothing but a creature of the
past.
I'm afraid it gave up on your kind a
long time ago.
I never did.
Mom.
Though I wonder why you were here so far
below the earth.
I suppose you were still looking for
your son.
That was cool.
Angel, help me. Gabriel, unless you're
the angel of death, then don't help me.
Kill something else.
The Vastto Initiative. A sun that never
sets.
The light of consciousness is the most
precious thing any citizen may own.
Never let go. Must be kept cold. My
consciousness.
What the [ __ ] I can't move.
He's still here somewhere in this old
painful memory of yours.
You just have to find him again. Whoa.
It's
maybe the signal is making us cuz it
says we all react differently. Maybe
it's tapping into our memories and then
showing us [ __ ] that we're scared of.
So the other guy was like, "Something
else is on the ship, but it's just
hallucinations."
Maybe the guy did kill himself with the
screwdriver cuz he was terrified.
Hey key.
Is it in the crucifix
institute bank of the SPRN? Notice of
outstanding debt. Kaminsky. The
institute notes that the total sum of
your debt now exceeds 39 million. Zev.
How much is that? This letter serves as
a reminder that we have the authority to
dis dispossess your citizenship status
should we know should we see no change
in your capacity to repay the
outstanding amount. Following is a
summary of your recent significant bank
statements. Hospital, of course. The
Vastto initiative took 12 million off
me. Relief for recent termination.

Man, the world really just wants some
people dead, doesn't it?
What are these things? I keep seeing
these around.
Oh,
September 1982.
Still asleep in the static.
Bring him to the TV.
Oh,
the past lies buried down here, Victor.
But it doesn't have to be set in stone.
Your son can still be saved. I can help
you find what you seek.
And in the end, perhaps we can both find
redemption.
Who are you? Are you my consciousness?
Wake up for the second time. Not again.
Can't see anything this time. Oh, there
you go.
my glasses.
Just consider what I said last spoken
through. Sorry, Mr. Long. Is this what I
read before?
Really don't think you should be calling
that number. I know you want to cling
out to the hope, but it's best to see if
they're off and they want you to take
you somewhere that doesn't exist. A
place that will never let you truly
heal. Okay. New meaning now.
Okay,
I'm back up and I'm ready to go.
Who wants a piece of Victor?
It's very dark out here. Oh [ __ ]
Oh,
give me that.
Attention. No valid waypoint. Acquire
updated coordinates from the lab. Okay,
I know how to do that now. Take the
cassette. You will need it. I'm sorry,
bro. You got effed in the B.
My dear friend, let me tell you
something I think would surprise you.
Let me tell you something. Let me tell
you something. Ever since I was first
exposed to the signal, I've been hearing
your voice again. This is a strange and
wonderful thing in itself, but the
things you reveal to me about the signal
are stranger and more wonderful still.
You told me to interpret the frequency
as brain waves. It's not fickle or
random, but an expression of something
almost like a mind, only one more vast
and complex than anything we've ever
encountered before. You also told me
that the signal can be trapped.
Britenium seems to stabilize the signal
when it passes through the crystal
structure like a beam of light suspended
by a prism. The two things are clearly
linked. That much I can figure out even
without you. Now there is talk about
aborting the mission. And I feel like I
may be the only one who realizes how
close we are to uncovering something
truly momentous. I so very much miss the
correspondence we had. I know you would
have understood. Yours truly, Yseph
Rutsenko.
Damn. Take this with you. Start [ __ ]
beating [ __ ]
Oh, no smoking in here, bro. That's what
killed you.
Geology rocks.
I don't like that it made a noise when I
did that. Can I put the other tape in
here? Surely not.
No.
This is the orange cassette. That's a
red door.
Okay, shut up. Where is it? No, it's
this.
No, it's this. Shh.
Unread order available in terminal
again.
Nothing here. Oh, need a communication
cassette.
This is such a cool way of doing it.
Like you put the cassette in to download
it onto the tape, then bring it over
here to read it.
I love it. Maria here. We at Surface
Control had our first moment of joy
since the Matroska incident when you
completed the course correction.
Matrioska incident. Is that a real thing
that happened? An ongoing state aligned
Russian influence and disinformation
campaign. I don't think that's the same
one we're talking about. Thank you for
keeping our hopes alive. Now for the bad
news. Our systems have lost track of the
signal again. You'd think something that
has caused so much havoc up here would
be easier to find. I'm aware that Dr.
Rutsenko is the one responsible for
interpreting the signal data. Well, he
[ __ ] dead.
But it's been a disturbingly long time
since we received any data at all from
his lab. Cuz he [ __ ] dead. I refuse
to accept the worst. You have to accept
it. He dead. But you need to make a new
recording. Uh, even if Reno is unable to
do so himself, otherwise you'll be
digging blindly for tomorrow. Yeah, for
tomorrow and all that. [ __ ] you guys.
I'm not getting paid enough. And this
sucks.
Hey, now I have two fuses.
Um,
maybe both of these.
Now we have two.
67 67
Okay. Stuff chill here.
What is this saying? No active waypoint
set. Retrieve waypoint data from the
lab. Yeah, I'm on my way. I'm on my
goddamn way. I'm the only one left.
Give me a [ __ ] second, will you?
Cripe. Okay, we need navigation
cassette. We need to figure out what
hour
I found a way point acquired. Object
coordinates from the lab. I'm trying.
Why can't I pull this?
Hello.
What's this saying? Navigation locked.
No way. Point data found. Insert a
neural cassette with a laboratory
recording. Oh,
yeah. I have to go into the lab. It did
say that.
I was getting ahead of myself.
Boss, let me in.
I don't know. Green or glowing energy
crystal. I wouldn't pick up with my
[ __ ] bare hands.
This is my light, Victor. At least what
remains of it. Oh my god, it's the
signal talking to me. Follow it and I
will lead you through the darkness.
Holy [ __ ]
Okay, I've got the signal inscribed on
my eyeballs now.
Signal handling procedure. Convert
signal data into a usable waypoint.
Signal data destabilizes vessel systems
on contact. Approved method. Tune radio
transmitter to correct signal frequency.
Record the signal onto a cassette.
Insert cassette into navigation system
to process coordinates. Important.
Standard strata cassettes will fail
under signal load. Use instead neural
storage cassettes designed to carry
unstable cognitive data compatible with
signal structure. Okay. Tune radio
transmitter to correct signal frequency.
How do I know when I'm there? Hold on.
Does that go in here?
untuned.
Okay.
Am I picking up those voices?
I don't know what I'm doing.
It stops though.
Is there a way of knowing better of what
I'm doing? Oh [ __ ] Okay.
Wired raw reader circuit to screen.
Place crystal and circle circuit to
activate. Hanium crystal seems to trap
frequency. Gotcha. Signal exposure
leaves imprint on retina. Oh, maybe I
have to imprint it on my retina and then
start tuning.
Need room to be dark.
Whoa, that's so [ __ ] cool.
Is this good?
I'm going blind.
Is that supposed to line up with that? I
I don't know what I'm doing.
Oh [ __ ]
Okay. 17120.
Ah,
that's cool.
Okay,
so 17.
[ __ ] yeah.
That's so sick.
Okay, what was next?
Record the signal onto cassette. Inset
into navigation system to process
coordinates. Okay, thank you.
The idea that someone has to sit here
with a [ __ ] wacky crystal imprinted
onto their retinas and then put it on
the [ __ ] board.
That's pretty sick.
Okay, so do you go in there?
I don't know what I'm looking for.
Incompatible files. Commit will be
reverted. Okay.
Reading cassette write permissions
granted. Opening up register listing
readable files. How the [ __ ] am I
supposed to know? System requires three
vectors of file type XYZ. Okay. XYZ
XYZ
XYZ Okay, maybe that wasn't as hard as I
thought it would be.
Are we in [ __ ] space?
This is off course. Course correction
required.
Okay, you got it. You got it. Can Now,
can I do this stuff? Uh, navigation
cassette.
Boom.
Seismic data encoded. Take out cassette.
Do I have to put it back in here?
Uh, yes. Cuz I need to decode it.
Decrypt it.
What kind of ground per centimeter cubed
are we working with? 2.71.
Okay. Do I need to put this one back in?
No action needed. Okay. Waypoint up to
date. Uh 2.71,
which would lead to
Oh,
62 to 54.
Should I just put it in the middle?
I don't think that's good. Am I supposed
to do some [ __ ] math?
2.71. So, we're between 2.6 and 3, which
is between 62 and 54.
Oh, maybe it's 60 then.
Oh, this is moving.
There you go. And our coordinates are
going to be
Give us a little more clearance.
85 and 37.
[ __ ] yeah. That's so cool.
I really enjoy this system. Lock that
bad boy in. Autopilot that [ __ ] I
locked onto the signal, [ __ ]
Now what? Now I die. Someone kills me.
Oh, got to pick up my sweet 16 phone.
Oh, it's October now.
Oh, don't you hate when you pick up the
phone and you get memories?
Who am I [ __ ] calling?
Oh, I can back out.
Uh
82736409.

So on the phone apparently.
Damn.
I'm truly sorry you had to go through
that again.
[ __ ] dude.
Can I call this number?
Attention vessels off course. Course

>> You You have reached the Strata
emergency service.
>> Please state the nature of your
emergency as well as your drilling

Uh, not good.
Okay,
cool. Very helpful for me. Thank you.
All right. Do I have to get coordinates
the same way again with the new world
cassette and everything?
Oh, yeah, I do. That's so sick.
Close the door. Where's the projector
doing that? Oh, cool.
Okay. Do I still have the crystal? Oh,
burn that [ __ ] onto daddy's retinas.
Oh, 17120. Still
uh neural cassette.
Ah, no. Grab that one.
Tuned.
Um, and let's do the seismic cassette
first. Actually, no, we don't need to
cuz it doesn't matter which order you do
them in.
Waypoint up to date. Geological Waypoint
data already uploaded system.
Oh,
okay. Do I have to do any of this?
Is it all the same as before?
I think I might have just had to sit
down and input the coordinates again.
But we'll do all this just in case. Just
in case. Set.
3.45. No, it's different.
Okay. Um.
Oh, I thought there was no path.
Like having it like right in the middle.
Uh 3.45,
which is
just above 46
or just below 46.
So like 45.
Oh, wait. Is Or is it the other way?
Oh,
never mind. That was right. Uh 18 and
68.
[ __ ] yeah. It It's so cool. It makes you
feel so smart.
Okay, now I feel dumb. Jibus,
what happened?
Engine failure detected. Immediate
repair required. Okay, I have to get to
the engine room.
How do I get into the engine?
Oh, what now? I don't want to cry over
my child.
>> Can you read me, Stean?
>> Bodhan, here. Please answer.
>> Victor. Victor,
>> of course it's you.
>> Don't say a word. Just shut up.
>> I told him from the start. I said it
during the prep.
>> I said it to Stan's face.
>> If we bring you with us, then the
mission is doomed. [ __ ] rude.
>> You're poison, Victor.
>> That's what you are.
You sit up there in that cockpit
pretending you're in control while the
rest of us burn in [ __ ] hell down
here.
>> Katnia is waiting for me. Lilia and Vera
are waiting for me. I have everything to
lose.
>> All you have is that [ __ ] cassette
full of fake memories.
>> Taking the engines apart. We're stopping
here.
This mission is over.
Don't come down here. Don't even [ __ ]
think about trying to stop me
>> or I'll put a screwdriver through your
skull.
>> Just stay up there. Dig your own grave
for all I care.
>> Seemed good at that.
Guess who's coming in.
Oh, and you laid out flowers for me. How
beautiful. That's so nice. Thank you.
I'm here to [ __ ] up the mission.
Okay, I have a new fuse. Can I put that
in the engine?
Yeah, buddy. Three fuses. It's already
set to three.
67. 67.
Right. Engine failure man. Oh, manual
repair required.
It's cool that
again it's a little like
mouthwashing in that regard. Like you're
piecing together what actually happened
as you're going.
Oh,
look at all these pipes.
So sexy. I love I told you guys before
at the backs of buildings, I love taking
pictures of them to see like this the
fire escape stairs and the pipes and the
wiring and the dishes and the air
conditioners and everything out the
back. I just love
I just love that aesthetic. I don't know
what it is about it.
It's like the inner workings of things.
Like this is the real thing that's
keeping everything alive and running and
going and not the cleaned up front that
you normally see.
Should get purple cassette down here,
right?
Oh, I should get big wrench.
I have to bash someone's face in
break that [ __ ]
I have an engine key. Can that work?
Uh, 2nd of November. Fix an issue with
the engine's filters. Right. One breaks
and under too much strain. Spoke to the
pilot about it. Weird [ __ ] That me.
Right engine filter keeps breaking.
Keeping an inventory on hand here in the
shed for now. Guesta dug up the first
junk they could find for this mission.
Desperate times and all that. Idiots.
Piece of [ __ ] Filter broke again. Down
to one spare now. I'll have to It'll
have to do. Keep having nightmares.
Always about Lilia and Vera. missed him
so goddamn much. So, is this like a
thing that's actually happening? Is the
signal actually making this happen or
are we getting like cabin fever for
being down here? Also, what's the guy's
plan? I'm going to stop the engines and
we're not going anywhere anymore. So,
we'll just stand out here and die. 7th
of November, so 5 days after. This
mission was one big mistake from the
start. Things go missing. Everyone acts
like lunatics. The pilot most of all, I
bet my life he is risking this entire
mission with that insane cassette of
his. If Adamo is too much of an idiot to
steer this ship straight, then I'll do
it myself. Oh, Adamo is the pilot.
Sorry, I I'm all over the place. I I
should do a video on my Spedicy channel
talking about what happened to me in the
last couple of months because I am
coming down off like 3 weeks of
migraines. So, my brain isn't
fully on and I was even like, should I
record today or not? But I I really like
the look of this game, so I just
decided I want to do it, but maybe I'm
not ready cuz all the information that's
going in is not really sticking. My My
brain's not sticky at the moment. Can I
have your purple suit? Purple guy.
Okay,
that seems important.
Hey, if you pick it up, I'll bring it
with me. I just don't know where it goes
yet.
Let's find out, shall we?
Oh brother.
Everyone's goddamn dead. You got
eviscerated.
[ __ ] me, man.
Do this [ __ ] all on my own.
Are we going to find out that I'm the
reason they're all dead?
Like, you'll say, "Oh, there's a monster
on board." But I actually just went
crazy and killed everyone.
you fuse. Oh,
Jesus.
Okay, so those fuses bad. I need another
new one.
Can I take one out from my lights up
above or do I have to find a new one
down here?
This is a cool game so far.
I really like it. Air flow's off,
coolant's off, fuel pumps are off.
Well, that's not what you want to see,
is it?
And I like this. I like how tactile
everything is. I like using all the
tools
and keeping them with me and
piecing stuff together myself.
It's very fun.
Okay. Nice. Fan should be on now. Hell
yeah.
All right.
Oh, I thought there was a gap.
What else can I fix from my dismal
circumstances?
Can I go that way? Excuse me. Excuse me.
Coolant and fuel pumps. Oh, everything.
Oh, it's the right engine, I see.
Um, I might go take a fuse from way up
top.
And see if that'll work.
Hurry.
Although, I don't know what I I could
probably use this on some [ __ ]
I'm going to need to grab some coolant,
aren't I?
Wait, let me look around in here now
that I know. I'm looking for fuses.
A clock. You think a clock couldn't save
us? Turn back time. If I could turn back
time.
I swear to God if this whole video gets
claimed because of singing that one
lyric. Okay, I can't go back out. That's
good to know. Oh, wait. I can't.
Don't linger.
Tell me what to do.
To remain still is to be buried.
Maybe for you. Take it out of here.
Oh, [ __ ] It's me hitting the
brush.
I really thought that that was something
chasing me cuz I turned out the lights.
Terrifying.
Whoa, that looked like it got bigger all
of a sudden. Wait, is that different?
Why did it seem way longer?
Okay, I've got a fuse. And I refuse to
give up.
For some reason, just holding W doesn't
work. You have to keep pressing it.
Okay,
nice.
So, that's all that stuff working.
Righty ho ho. I had to press something
down there.
Okay, fuel pumps are working. Now, I
just need coolant.
which I thought you would like have a
key on you or something,
but you are [ __ ] useless to me.
Oh. Oh, it's really [ __ ] dark. I
couldn't see anything.
Ah okay.
That good. Repair the engine. Nice.
Now that's stuck there, so I can't use
it again.
Oh, I really thought your body was going
to be gone.
Oh god,
there's still this thing. I don't know
if I am able to get into that.
Be careful. It is waking up.
I don't have
purple tape, right?
No, this is a communication cuz Okay,
I'll be back down here eventually.
Yeah, this [ __ ] place is changing.
Oh,
I'm losing my mind. This whole area is
different.
I was like, why did it feel longer the
first time? Cuz it was.
Oh Christ.
Oh,
I don't like it. I don't like it. I
don't like it. It's coming.
It's coming. Get it.
Get it.
[ __ ] Oh god. What do I do? What do I
do? What do I do? Run. Run. Run. [ __ ]
me.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Oh, hanging
bodies. Okay.
Oh Jesus. Oh Jesus. I don't like him to
think under pressure. Oh, he's close.
What do I do? What do I do? What do I
do? Door 311.
Where is he? Where is he? He's close.
I don't know where he is.
311 is down here somewhere.
Oh, you ugly [ __ ]
307. Oh, it's in the middle of this.
309.
Did I win and die at the same time? Oh,
what is wrong with you?
[ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ]
[ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ]
[ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ]
[ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ]
[ __ ] F. [ __ ]
Close it.
I hate this. I hate this.
Go go go go go go go go go go
go go go go go go go go go go
go go.
Oh, kick it in the face.
Oh, yeah. Exactly what I wanted you to
do. Well played.
Oh, is that the visage of like my dead
kid or something?
[ __ ] man.
Oh why?
Why more?
Just let me go.
It's not real. It's not real. It's not
real. It's not real. It's not real. It's
not real.
Real enough to scare the [ __ ] out of me.
The [ __ ] in my pants is real. As long as
you are here, I can hold it off.
I think it's my conscience talking to
me. But you can't run from the past
forever.
I missed what that one said.
Holy [ __ ]
Where's my cassettes?
Huh?
Oh, it's here.
Okay. Jesus,
that was terrifying.
Oh, look. Seismic data. Cool.
Let's go back to normaly after that,
shall we? Let's Everything's [ __ ]
fine now.
3.45. That was
same as last time, isn't it?
God, why is it so dark in here?
Why can't I move that?
Hello.
Okay. Everything else is the same.
Input coordinates. Adjust the RPM with
the throttle. I'm trying, but it
wouldn't let me. Oh, right.
What was it last time? I can't remember.
Uh 18 and 68.
Um
yeah 45.
Righty ho.
Locked on.
Autopilot engage.
Now I can relax. What depth are we at?
It says it somewhere.
7423. We're getting there.
We're pretty damn close.
Thank you. Oh no.
I'm back in my house.
Let's
go to the top floor.
Do what it has.
I don't know if there's a hint somewhere
as to what floor I'm supposed to be on.
Yeah, that looks about right. This is
some Silent Hill 2 looking ass.
Calamity strikes nation 11th of April
early morning. The first of an ongoing
series of earthquakes struck nigured.
The It's like trying to read the places
in Metal Gear Solid 3 again. Gajnigrad.
The events have led to several power
plants failing and the city center is at
the time of writing ravaged by countless
fires. More recent reports also indicate
that nearly all types of electronics in
the city have been rendered unusable.
Authorities have yet to comment on if
this is a natural phenomenon or some
kind of coordinated attack. The
seemingly ever escalating nature of the
disaster has however already led to some
dubbing it as the Matroska incident. Uh
okay. So just earthquakes are causing
it. Maybe because we're digging into the
[ __ ] ground and the signal's like,
"Yeah, you're all about to die."
Have you lost someone? To lose a loved
one is the deepest wound a person can
carry. The world is cruel. We learned
that far too early. But it does not have
to end there. Through revolutionary
neuroarchchival technology, the Vostto
Initiative offers a final chance to
preserve what matters most. Using our
state-of-the-art memory cassettes, a
human consciousness can be transferred
moments before biological death. A
voice, a memory, a presence preserved.
So you never truly have to say goodbye.
And perhaps one day you may even speak
again.
Oh, did I lose my kid and I put him in a
cassette?
Emergency now confidential. If you hear
a patient who has been confirmed to be
deceased speak, do not under any
circumstances listen to what they are
saying. Oh, that is some SCP [ __ ]
So quiet. Uh, hospital 12. Ooh, that's
the one that was on the note. Elena
Moratova. Patient still without
appetite. Lucid but under continuous
distress. Exposure to signal
paradoxically seems to alleviate some
symptoms. Reinstate IV 24 hours. Place
signal recording at 2hour intervals.
Like the white rabbit signal.
The day after patient catatonic without
constant exposure to signal experiences
sudden bursts of activity, speaks an
unknown but seemingly coherent language.
Keep sedated and make sure to never
handle without proper support staff.
Arrange for immediate patient transfer
to specialist hospital. Law enforcement
notified.
Damn.
The family of Daniel Petrova in 282 had
paid for the vastto procedure but the
patient died. suddenly last night. So,
the nurses on staff missed a recording
window. How do we handle this? What do
we tell them? Tell them you [ __ ] up
and get sued.
That's right there.
Oh [ __ ]
What does that mean for Jack Boy?
Hospital 12, Children's Ward. Yeah. So,
I'm there.
What room is it?
282. Is that where I should be going?
This doesn't have a room.
Oh, that's freaky.
282
is not on that.
I guess I could just walk around and
look.
Right. It doesn't say room on this.
Does it?
I just go for a wander.
Can I go this way? No, I can't.
[ __ ]
Okay cool.
Scared the [ __ ] out of me. I think I
actually farted when that just happened.
Three.
What the hell are these?
There's a big three on the floor.
Nothing there, but there's a room
number. Is that 311?
Uh TV.
Okay. Where's 311?
There is no 311.
319, 320, 312, and 13, 39, and 310. But
there's no 311.
Uhoh.
Maybe I'll see it.
Oh god, it's dark.
I'm going to follow the lights.
There goes my boy.
As beautiful as the day he died. Oh, is
this Saturn eating its kid? That's the
name of it, right? Is this
or is it Jupiter eats its kid?
Can't remember.
Oh, look at these. A bunch of white men
who are the problem.
Oh lovely.
Earthquakes and burning.
Burning man.
Oh, man. I'm losing it.
I don't like when I'm losing it.
Okay.
Oh,
I don't know. The rest of them I can do
anything with.
Oh, here's the TV.
The hell are these drawings?
Oh [ __ ] Oh [ __ ] Daddy.
Oh god.
Oh god. Son.
Oh my god. It's following me.
Okay. So 3 something 7 317.
Can't do that.
That's creepy.
There's no Oh, there is a 307.
It's on the opposite side.
Get away from my child.
When your child is freaking you out,
it's okay to be scared of them and run
away.
Okay, never mind. I thought I had
solutions to things.
I [ __ ] hate it. Wait, let's go back.
See if it says numbers now on the
screens.
Oh, I had to come back here.
317 was the room they were in. So,
did he not want to be a dad or he was
scared of being a dad or something
[ __ ] up? And then the mom came in here
and had the baby and the place burned
down and I'm seeing like my burnt child.
Hey, what's up?
No, that's fine. Yeah. Ding ding.
Yeah, you're at reception.
Let me out.
Oh thanks.
[ __ ] out of here.
Wait, is there someone in that on the
screens?
Oh, that's cool.
Oh, I wish I picked up on that sooner.
I love that.
Okay. 317 should be
over
here,
right?
This way.
Is this where it all went down?
Oh, my beautiful boy.
My god.
Instead, you set him free.
I killed him.
Did I turn off the machines?
Respiratory unit off.
Please don't tell me that that was a
sequence I was supposed to get and trial
and error and I just did it immediately.
There's no way. I I don't believe that.
Absolutely no way. And the cardiac
support.
Where is that?
Oh,
he's not truly gone. Victor,
take the cassette, hold them in your
arms, and you will know.
That's so [ __ ]
Impressive
that such a small vessel can contain
something as infinite as a soul. My
child's soul is not on that. But a body
should not have to live.
This may have been all they could give
you.
But I have no such limits.
Keep following the signal, Victor. That
is how you will find me.
Oh [ __ ] I didn't read that. This
cassette is the key. You brought it with
you on this mission for a reason.
Pro is still with you on your vessel.
You just have to remember who stole him
from you.
God damn, that's heavy.
Oh, everything's on fire. Set your son
free.
Shut it.
Express Telegram from Stean Adamo to me.
You have to go home right now. All
landlines, electronics out of order.
Fires throughout the city. Can't tell
you confidential details. We have made a
mistake. I fear we cannot undo.
Oh, and the doll is here.
I I think it's this angel that's
speaking to me.
That's cool though.
What a cool premise for a game.
I should be able to go in here now,
right?
What's going on in here?
I saw a big machine digging deep into
the ground. It was loud and strong and
didn't stop. I watched it for a long
time. Dad said people use machines like
that to go deeper and deeper.
Me and dad fought against fire breathing
dragons together. We won, but they
burned Dad really badly. Afterwards, I
found a bucket with some water to pour
over his head to make him feel better.
He laughed, so it must have worked.
What the [ __ ]
Oh, this is the pro cassette. Was I
listening to my boy's brain?
Was I the dad?
We ate pancakes together. They were
really good. Now I'm waiting to open my
presents. I want a mole.
Oh god. This is my child. This is him
brain.
My child him brain. Him brain and tape.
I can't look at this.
Please be safe down there. This is the
last time you promised.
This is the last time you promised.
Look at that lady with a baby.
engineer.
>> Okay. Well,
come along, son.
Daddy will show you the world.
I have a [ __ ] message.
My dear friend, let me tell you
something. I Oh, that's I've read that
before.
Wait, where was the communication place
again? Down here.
Uh, communication cassette.
Damn,
this game took a hecking turn.
Uh, I'm sorry to say it, but this
mission is a disaster. It's been several
days now since any contact from you, and
now you've hit a dead end. Navigating
through the layers below you is far too
precise for our instruments. We can't
risk another Matroska incident. But you
fail to realize that I am the greatest
navigator that has ever existed. I will
find my way through. My boy will help
me. He's up there somewhere. Come on,
son. Use your ghostly powers to guide me
through the layers of the earth. We are
terminating your autopilot systems in
order to save power while we are
discussing extraction. What do you mean
save power? Am I plugged into the
planet? I assure you, no one wants this,
especially when you're so close to the
M12 vessel. But sometimes you just have
to accept reality. Don't listen to their
apathy. Even if you tried to explain
what truly is at stake here for you now,
would they understand? Would they care?
You are so close, Victor. It's going
back and forth. If I could bring back
pro right now for you, I would. But I am
bound to this place and my reach is
frustratingly limited. But there are no
such limitations upon you. I know you
will find a way. You just have to get
back into that cockpit.
Oh, [ __ ] Yeah, this game rules.
That's so cool.
All right, this place
has nothing right now, but I don't think
it needs it.
Okay so
I need to go back into Lab Daddy.
And I need to get new coordinates.
The crystal shall guide the way. My
eyes, they have seen further than your
stupid brain has ever.
Okay, still 1721.
Perilous terrain ahead. Deploy torpedo
from the engine hall to resume drilling.
Torpedo.
I don't want to go back into the engine
hall. The scars of my past were chasing
me.
I want to go home. You and me both, son.
All right. Now I can go in here.
Torpedo
fire not ready. Chamber unloaded. Insert
a torpedo into the firing tube. Place
primer over tube and [ __ ] it. I'll [ __ ]
it. All right. I'll [ __ ] it all up.
Okay. So, this
I hold it down and then boom.
Okay. What am I doing?
So, that's priming the thing
and then releasing the torpedo.
I see. Now, if a guy was to find a
torpedo, where would he find them?
Ah,
is that the key to the thing I always
thought?
Guide me, son. Guide me with your
flowers.
>> Yes.
>> Torpedo time.
This is going to be so [ __ ] sick. I'm
going to blast the earth in half. [ __ ]
everybody on the surface. It's my misery
that matters most.
Okay. And now down you go. And over you
go. Fire ready.
Okay. Should I All right, I have that
primed. And now
did that do it?
Are we good?
Was
Was that it? Or do I have to do more?
It's letting me do more. So, I'm going
to do more.
Bet your [ __ ] ass I'm going to do
more.
Look at all the torpedoes I have. Oh,
it's torpedo time.
I want to go home. Let me just blast
through the Earth's surfaces and crust.
Like how far down does the Earth's crust
go? Cuz it's a lot further than we
think, isn't it? Or that some people
think.
Detonate with clacker.
There it goes. There it goes.
Oh, I see.
Okay, I [ __ ] it up. I I didn't realize
that I had to detonate again. That's
exactly what it was saying. Okay.
Whoopsies. Well, I'm glad that I [ __ ]
it up cuz it means I get to torpedo time
even more.
Like, this is so fun. I am having a
great time.
I love torpedo time. It's the best time
of the day.
Bet you haven't torpedoed today. Uh, no.
[ __ ] yourself doesn't count.
Okay, here we go.
And then,
yeah, [ __ ] that surface right up. Hit
the target with a torpedo.
Yes sir.
What now?
Victor.
>> Yeah.
How, bro? We're 7,000 m down.
Don't let them tempt you into surrender.
Since when has anything worthwhile ever
been easy? Amen.
They will never truly trust you, Victor.
But I do.
Get into the cockpit. Listen to your
instincts. [ __ ] yeah.
Look, this thing is bringing me to my
doom. I don't trust it whatsoever, but
it's really cool. I want to know what
the [ __ ] Eldrich Truth down below the
Earth's crust is going to tell me. Um,
righty. I need my navigation cassette.
Seismic data found. Ready to record.
Pull.
Yeah. Hello.
Why can't I
Why is it not working?
Oh, it's different. Okay.
Oh god.
Uh 14980.
Uh way over.
Oh, hold on.
Bingo.
Hell yeah. This is so fun to do.
Geological Waypoint data already
uploaded system. No action needed. What
do you mean? It was different.
[100:04] Okay.
[100:11] No data encoded. Oh [ __ ] Insert
[100:14] employee ID.
[100:18] Oh, I'm [ __ ] I should have just read
[100:20] this. Terrain ahead unscannable.
[100:22] Automation disabled. Manual piloting
[100:24] needs to be engaged. Enter fourdigit
[100:26] employee ID from your issued c issued
[100:30] dorm cassette. Y equals the first two
[100:33] digits and X is the last two digits.
[100:35] What is my ID cassette? 04.
[100:43] 04 03.
[100:45] That's not it.
[100:50] And away we go.
[100:53] Wait, do I still have to? No.
[100:57] Okay. Enter your four-digit employee ID
[101:00] from your issued dorm cassette. I need
[101:02] to go back up to the dorms to look. What
[101:04] is my ID? I'm
[101:13] Oh 6359.
[101:16] I think I might need the other dudes
[101:18] though right?
[101:20] Bodans or Steppans?
[101:26] I don't have a right cassette yet.
[101:31] What was it? Jesus, I forgot already.
[101:34] 6359. Let's see if that works.
[101:44] Ah,
[101:46] no waypoint data. I mean, that's the
[101:48] whole point, isn't it? Enter waypoint
[101:50] data from the lab into the terminal. I
[101:53] thought I did that. You said I didn't
[101:55] need to.
[102:00] Okay, we need XYZ's again.
[102:05] Oh,
[102:07] commit that [ __ ]
[102:13] Nice.
[102:15] Do I still need to do the other stuff?
[102:16] Okay, now I can start doing the other
[102:18] stuff.
[102:25] Okay, seismic data encoded.
[102:29] Decrypt.
[102:32] It's so fun. I love all the clicky
[102:34] clacky and the insertion of things and
[102:37] it's just oh, it's so cool.
[102:40] Okay, 3.10 is
[102:44] um
[102:47] like 50
[102:50] maybe maybe a little more.
[102:56] Nope, it's 50.
[102:59] Um okay, where are we going?
[103:02] 43.
[103:04] Oh, there's two ways to go.
[103:07] Let's do this one. I like this one. 43
[103:09] and 19.
[103:16] Oh, hell yeah.
[103:22] To figure this out on my own like the
[103:25] [ __ ] legend that I am.
[103:28] Whoa. Whoa. It's Oh, I just need to
[103:32] follow it.
[103:34] Cool.
[103:37] So, autopilot's been following this all
[103:39] this time.
[103:48] What?
[103:49] I have to do more. What the [ __ ]
[103:55] God damn.
[103:59] So, the seismic data changed.
[104:05] Did I make it deep? 7423. I don't know
[104:07] if that's [ __ ] moved.
[104:20] Three. I was having fun just chasing
[104:21] that thing. Why'd you have to stop me?
[104:24] Three flat 54. Nice. So, we haven't had
[104:27] just a really easy one in a while.
[104:33] Is that right? RPM outdated. New target
[104:36] value 45 RPM.
[104:40] Oh,
[104:43] that's not what that told me.
[104:46] Oh, I just had to change the RPM. Oh,
[104:50] well then
[104:57] come here, sucker.
[105:00] I've got you in my sights.
[105:05] High magma concentration detected. Hold
[105:07] cannot withstand temperature over
[105:08] prolonged time. Override emergency stop
[105:10] with the ignition key. Where?
[105:16] Huh?
[105:20] In the engine room. What? The vessel is
[105:22] off course. Check diagnostics in the
[105:24] cockpit located on the deck.
[105:30] Oh, I just need to do that again. Time
[105:32] until hole failure. Oh,
[105:35] that was confusing.
[105:38] And I need to be up at 60 RPM.
[105:47] Yeah. Yeah. Magma, magma. Whatever. I'm
[105:50] trying my best here.
[105:53] It's difficult. The whole [ __ ] place
[105:55] is shaking.
[105:57] Input coordinates.
[105:59] Christ. No data encoded.
[106:08] Or is that that's different than this?
[106:13] The dad has the other one.
[106:24] Oh, never mind.
[106:30] Uh 66 and 26.
[106:38] Okay. Jesus. And what's my new RPM? 3.7,
[106:43] which is about 38.
[106:50] I got him. I got him.
[106:56] Okay, we are locked on. Don't you [ __ ]
[106:59] anything else up on me. I'll [ __ ]
[107:01] kill you. When I find the signal, I'm
[107:04] choking it to death.
[107:07] I don't care. Unless the screen says
[107:10] something, I don't care. Input
[107:12] coordinates. [ __ ] me.
[107:17] Do I have to do this every time for
[107:18] that?
[107:23] I do. Yeah. Okay.
[107:29] No data encoded. What?
[107:34] Is this now the other one?
[107:43] Maybe I just didn't leave it in long
[107:44] enough.
[107:48] I'm trying. I'm trying. Why is this
[107:50] taking forever? Restart terminal.
[107:54] For [ __ ] sake. This is so stressful.
[108:00] Go go go.
[108:05] Come on. Come on. 2.6.
[108:10] Okay. 2.6. And uh
[108:15] 2.6. 2.6.
[108:18] 2183.
[108:26] Uh 2.6 Six is 62.
[108:35] Where is that sucker?
[108:38] Okay, there's still 10 minutes until
[108:40] stuff breaks. This is the safe zone. Oh
[108:42] my god, I have to travel so [ __ ] far
[108:44] still.
[108:47] I'm not even halfway.
[108:50] Oh god.
[108:58] Okay, this is good. This is a prolonged
[108:59] one.
[109:06] 54.
[109:13] Is that right? Yeah.
[109:16] Okay, keep going. Those quick fixes are
[109:18] nice when I have to take the [ __ ]
[109:19] disc out and re-encode it and
[109:21] everything. That's what's so annoying.
[109:23] It's okay. I have 10 minutes. It feels
[109:26] like the world is on my shoulders and
[109:28] time is running out, but I have 10
[109:30] minutes. 10 minutes is all I can spare
[109:33] to play with you.
[109:35] Okay, good. This is good.
[109:39] No way data.
[109:44] Oh, that's this other one, isn't it?
[109:51] Uh, crystal. Crystal.
[109:57] Okay, it's in the upper right this time,
[110:01] which is 21890.
[110:06] Uh,
[110:09] Jesus.
[110:12] Oh, 21's all the way up there.
[110:17] uh targeting cassette.
[110:23] Did you just break?
[110:28] Let him guide you. My son, my boy.
[110:37] Did I just overwrite my child?
[110:42] Come on, Pro. You can do it, son.
[110:48] Uh, XYZ XYZ.
[110:52] Come on, Pro. You can do it. That's my
[110:55] boy.
[110:57] Okay. RPM 33. Okay.
[111:03] Good.
[111:05] X50 Y50. Okay. Good, son. Good.
[111:11] Good, son. That's good.
[111:14] That's my boy.
[111:19] He's going to teach me. I don't have to
[111:20] use cassettes anymore. I've got the
[111:23] power of my child's soul infused into
[111:26] the machinery.
[111:29] I'm sure nothing bad will happen. I'm
[111:32] sure I'll get down here and I'll find
[111:33] the signal and nothing bad will happen
[111:35] at all.
[111:38] Everything will be fine.
[111:40] Okay, we have 7 minutes.
[111:46] Oh no, my glasses. Am I going to have to
[111:48] do all of this [ __ ] blind now? Oh
[111:50] Christ.
[111:53] What?
[111:58] Where's things?
[112:06] Oh my god. I can't see anything. There's
[112:07] nothing here.
[112:12] in here.
[112:19] Maybe I have to do this again.
[112:24] Okay, let him guide you. Okay, I don't
[112:25] have to do that again.
[112:33] Did I have to do that again?
[112:38] Oh Jesus.
[112:41] Okay, I'm just seeing my son's bicycle
[112:43] again. I can't see anything.
[112:47] Like, I can't actually see coordinates
[112:49] or RPMs or anything.
[112:56] It's not written on anything. Oh my god.
[112:57] What the [ __ ] happening? What should I
[112:58] do?
[113:00] Is it just the same again?
[113:03] No.
[113:08] What do we do?
[113:11] Son, do something.
[113:18] I don't know if I'm supposed to be doing
[113:20] this at all.
[113:22] Give me stuff.
[113:27] Give me coordinates. Give me anything.
[113:33] I don't know where I'm supposed to look.
[113:34] [ __ ] this.
[113:37] 7:32.
[113:40] And the angel spoke. The earth shall
[113:41] give up those who are asleep in it.
[113:42] There will be no more death or mourning
[113:44] or crying in pain.
[113:47] Okay. What about this one? And the
[113:49] wicked rejected the angel's mercy and
[113:50] said they cast an angel deep down below
[113:52] the earth and they are bound to an angel
[113:53] in a prison of stone. Yeah, it's Satan.
[113:57] I'm so sorry. Am I supposed to be seeing
[113:58] numbers somewhere? Am I supposed to be
[114:00] getting my glasses back?
[114:05] Oh [ __ ]
[114:10] Oh, [ __ ] Okay.
[114:15] I don't know if I'm doing the right
[114:17] thing or not.
[114:19] Do I need my navigation cassette again?
[114:23] Oh, this is some horse [ __ ] right now.
[114:27] This is some horse [ __ ] right now.
[114:35] Are you [ __ ] serious? Are you [ __ ]
[114:38] serious? I didn't know I was supposed to
[114:39] take the postit off.
[114:42] The last time I just had to look at
[114:43] them. My son guided me. The [ __ ] is the
[114:47] point of this if my son's not guiding me
[114:49] anymore? 220. Okay,
[114:53] get in there. 220 is what? I don't know.
[114:57] 70. Is that 70? Yes.
[115:04] Is that the max?
[115:08] Get this [ __ ] off my screen.
[115:12] Okay. And then
[115:15] ah me and my [ __ ] glasses. I'm such a
[115:17] nerd.
[115:19] 70 and 51.
[115:28] Oh, I only had 50 in. That's not 51.
[115:33] How the [ __ ] am I supposed to see this?
[115:42] Is that not right? It didn't go color.
[115:48] Now it's right. Okay.
[115:51] Okay. Oh my god.
[115:55] I can barely [ __ ] see this thing.
[115:58] Holy god.
[116:01] Where you going?
[116:04] ET, phone home.
[116:06] My son is dead and you will be soon too.
[116:09] Oh god. What now?
[116:13] Deploy torpedo,
[116:17] brother. I can't see.
[116:24] Oh, [ __ ] Christ.
[116:27] Okay.
[116:31] How in God's name am I supposed to do
[116:33] this?
[116:35] It is cool though cuz it's like, "Hey,
[116:36] remember what you did cuz you're going
[116:38] to have to do it again."
[116:41] Is this not where the torpedoes are? No.
[116:44] Here.
[116:46] Okay, I got one. Oh, Jesus. Oh, Jesus.
[116:50] This is so stressful.
[116:55] Okay. Torpedo go. Random [ __ ] Go.
[117:01] Okay.
[117:06] Okay. I can kind of see it.
[117:15] Okay, that's good.
[117:19] Clear your menu of piloting with one
[117:20] minute to spare. Did I do it? Am I safe?
[117:26] Oh Jesus.
[117:29] What do I do now?
[117:33] Safe distance reach. Clear of hazard.
[117:34] Turn off vessel.
[117:40] You made it through.
[117:43] Now you are close. Very close. Look at
[117:47] me. It's time I made you see. Yes,
[117:52] dude. I didn't know Lucifer was chill
[117:54] like that.
[117:56] Now you have to hurry. You must save
[117:57] him. Who? My boy.
[118:01] Give me back my things.
[118:09] Okay.
[118:12] Follow the flames. That's Lucifer's
[118:15] doing.
[118:23] Did I go up?
[118:29] Oh, this is all new.
[118:38] Oh god.
[118:43] Up I go.
[118:49] Okay. This is bad. This is bad. Out the
[118:51] window. Why
[118:55] is this when the building was on fire
[118:57] when the child got burned?
[119:06] Okay. Can I get through this?
[119:09] Oh.
[119:18] Son,
[119:22] I'm doing my best. Father of the year
[119:25] over here.
[119:33] Okay, get your [ __ ] together. Get some
[119:36] oxygen back.
[119:39] Oh, thank God. This fire extinguisher
[119:41] has a lot in it.
[119:46] Dude, [ __ ] the fire brigade. Just send
[119:49] me in. I'm putting out everything.
[119:54] Oh Jesus. Oh Jesus,
[119:58] man. I really went above and beyond,
[119:59] didn't I? Oh god, it's Smokeoky. Stay
[120:02] low.
[120:04] >> Breathe. Breathe.
[120:12] Son,
[120:14] I'm coming. A boy,
[120:18] don't you worry. Daddy's here. He's
[120:20] lost, but he's here.
[120:25] Okay. Okay,
[120:30] piece by piece, piece by piece, little
[120:32] by little.
[120:35] I'm putting out the entire fire right
[120:37] now.
[120:39] Oh no.
[120:50] This a fire extinguisher.
[120:53] Jump. Jump. Dad. Jump. Think of your
[120:56] boy.
[121:03] Oh god. Oh god.
[121:08] bendy ass legs.
[121:13] It didn't matter that you hurried home
[121:15] as fast as you could.
[121:19] Oh, it's our apartment that burned.
[121:23] [ __ ] They called it the Matroska
[121:26] incident. Damn, man.
[121:30] Stride refused to let the drilling
[121:31] missions be a thing of the past.
[121:34] Instead, they ventured beyond where your
[121:36] kind were ever meant to go
[121:40] and awoke things that should have been
[121:42] left sleeping.
[121:44] But Strat had never paid for their
[121:46] mistakes.
[121:48] You did.
[121:53] You never made it back to him in time.
[122:00] That's cool.
[122:03] You owe them nothing, Victor.
[122:15] That's pretty sick.
[122:19] Oh, I can see now. I don't need my
[122:20] glasses.
[122:28] My music doesn't work anymore, I guess.
[122:31] Digit 2 is number three. Okay. Victor,
[122:35] your rejection of our offer saddens me.
[122:38] This mission will be one of a kind, a
[122:39] true revival of the good old days if
[122:42] you'll forgive my sentimentality. Still,
[122:44] I want you to know that I understand
[122:46] your decision. I know your father and
[122:47] you never saw eye to eye. And now you
[122:50] are a father yourself. It's a heavy
[122:52] burden to bear, but I'm certain you will
[122:54] handle it with the same care,
[122:55] tenderness, and unfailing effort that
[122:57] you seem to give to everything in your
[122:59] life. I'm proud of you, Stephan Adamo.
[123:02] [ __ ] you guys.
[123:05] I hope I took this mission to go all the
[123:07] way down, if any of this is even real,
[123:09] to go all the way down to find Satan
[123:12] to pay it back.
[123:20] A power up here.
[123:27] At least I still have my brainchild.
[123:37] Whoever is reading this, wait, what is
[123:39] this? M13. I'm so sorry. We finally had
[123:42] an update from Stean about the state of
[123:45] the mission. About Yseph, about whatever
[123:48] monstrosity has made its way into the
[123:50] vessel with you. If only we'd known. The
[123:53] following information is absolutely
[123:54] critical. In Stan's dorm, there is a gun
[123:57] case. There's just a single bullet on
[124:00] board for the most unthinkable of
[124:02] emergencies.
[124:03] I hope it can save you now. Make that
[124:06] shot count for tomorrow.
[124:10] I guess I don't need to bring this with
[124:12] me. I can just keep it here
[124:16] in Stean's dorm. Which one was his?
[124:21] Bodan.
[124:23] It's the part. Oh,
[124:28] digit three is five.
[124:31] So, digit two was three.
[124:34] Digit
[124:36] was it digit three is five.
[124:41] Okay. I need at least one more digit.
[124:45] I hate to say I told you so, Stean. You
[124:47] were the one who put this crew together.
[124:50] You knew some of our selections were,
[124:52] shall we say, controversial.
[124:54] And above all, you knew what risks those
[124:57] selections would bring. Look, I'm not
[124:59] trying to be heartless. All I'm saying
[125:00] is that this is not one of those
[125:02] situations I can bail you out. You need
[125:04] to make some tough decisions. Too much
[125:06] is writing on this mission. We should
[125:08] reserve extraction for a true emergency.
[125:10] The symptoms the crew are experiencing
[125:12] could very well be because you were
[125:14] several kilometers below the surface. It
[125:16] doesn't have to be the signal.
[125:19] 8 8754 meters down. A new low
[125:24] cigars.
[125:29] Um, where would I find some more digits?
[125:35] Oh, I can't read that.
[125:43] Surely there's more digits in these
[125:45] rooms. Yes,
[125:48] digit one is eight.
[125:53] And surely process of elimination will
[125:55] get the last one.
[126:05] Whoa, that's a chunky gun.
[126:16] Did she say there was one bullet?
[126:22] Whoa. There was no [ __ ] bullets in
[126:24] that.
[126:32] Oh shit's gurgling outside now.
[126:37] Why is everything shaking?
[126:48] Yes, Stean. What is it?
[126:55] >> Mission is canceled. They're bringing us
[126:57] home.
[127:33] Damn.
[127:46] Let me out.
[127:51] So, did he
[127:55] cause all this?
[127:57] But somehow I'm alive. I haven't pieced
[127:59] it together fully yet.
[128:13] The white rabbit.
[128:15] The signal that called Alice.
[128:18] I forgot all about this.
[128:23] Oh, it's freaky looking. It's like a
[128:25] cartoon. Whoa. Where you going?
[128:29] No. Help me.
[128:35] Come back.
[128:37] Don't you run away now. Don't run over
[128:40] there. I know you want to. Don't. Hey,
[128:42] don't do it.
[128:47] It'd be nice if we could [ __ ] run
[128:49] faster.
[128:51] I know there's lots of psychological and
[128:53] physical damage going on, but still.
[128:54] Come on, Victor.
[128:57] Hurry up.
[129:01] And deeper Alice went into her own
[129:03] madness.
[129:07] Except my name's not Alice. I'm going to
[129:09] shoot the rabbit.
[129:14] Whoa. Cool.
[129:19] This is giving really strong
[129:20] mouthwashing vibes,
[129:24] which is not a I'm not saying that
[129:26] derogatorily.
[129:28] Both of these are incredible games. Very
[129:32] uh high complexity psychological
[129:35] stories.
[129:38] Oh, hey. Whoa.
[129:42] Into the hole we go.
[129:48] Put down into the rabbit hole. We're all
[129:49] mad here.
[129:54] What now?
[130:03] Oh Jesus.
[130:10] Oh, dark rabbit.
[130:13] Cool.
[130:14] Shadow rabbit.
[130:18] Like what happens if I don't follow the
[130:20] rabbit?
[130:24] Angel.
[130:28] Lucifer was an angel
[130:31] until he wanted to overthrow God and
[130:32] then he was kicked out
[130:35] and then he went back to fight God. I
[130:37] don't know if this is in the main story,
[130:40] but it was like God said, "Yeah, fight
[130:42] him, but I'm also going to make you guys
[130:43] all nerfed because otherwise we will
[130:45] literally rip the universe apart."
[130:47] Because God's angels, his soldiers were
[130:49] just far too powerful.
[130:59] Feel like we're in the belly of
[131:01] something.
[131:12] Oh, is it getting harder to move?
[131:18] Oh, it's getting more claustrophobic.
[131:23] I don't like that. No, don't. No, don't
[131:26] do that.
[131:30] I thought we were having a nice dig.
[131:40] Maybe this is where I Maybe this is like
[131:42] deep beneath the earth's crust. Whoa,
[131:44] cool.
[131:47] That's so biblical.
[131:51] What's going on, bro?
[131:56] Okay, I wait for me. I'll be back.
[132:01] I ain't coming back. I'm going to
[132:03] [ __ ] die down here.
[132:06] That is for sure.
[132:12] Whoa.
[132:24] I'm not crawling in this game.
[132:38] Oh my god,
[132:46] that's so sick.
[132:49] I have to frame it up nicely. I need it
[132:50] to look good.
[132:53] Not because it I mean it could be a
[132:55] thumbnail, but just because I like to
[132:58] play cinematographer every now and then.
[133:01] These are all me.
[133:14] You have to make a choice, Victor.
[133:17] Follow my light
[133:20] or let them devour you.
[133:23] What the [ __ ] is that?
[133:33] Did I have a choice?
[133:42] Cuz I couldn't really do anything during
[133:44] that.
[133:45] [ __ ] yeah.
[133:51] This is like King and Yellow [ __ ]
[133:54] They feared a world unaligned with the
[133:57] tyranny of their dogma. Thus, the angel
[133:59] was condemned and cast down. Okay, so do
[134:01] I have to move these around?
[134:10] Hell yeah, it is Lucifer.
[134:13] Um, the angel taught truth and secrets
[134:16] only she truly understood. Okay. So,
[134:19] that's you being cast down.
[134:30] An angel descended onto earth. The first
[134:33] witness lay wrapped in swaddling cloth.
[134:38] Is that
[134:42] swaddling cloth?
[134:47] Okay. Okay. The angel taught truth and
[134:49] secrets only she truly understood.
[134:52] Oh no, this is swaddling cloth.
[134:57] So what is this one?
[135:00] That has to be secrets, right?
[135:05] All flesh withers. Some flowers are cut
[135:08] before they can bloom. The people mourn
[135:10] the ways of the world.
[135:14] Maybe that's that.
[135:21] I don't know if this is right at all.
[135:24] The angel refused the cruelty of fate.
[135:26] He shattered the boundaries between life
[135:28] and death.
[135:32] Maybe that's that.
[135:35] Yeah.
[135:38] Cool.
[135:40] I love [ __ ] like this. I love biblical
[135:44] iconography and stories cuz the stuff
[135:46] that's in the Bible is incredible. Like
[135:49] the stuff that it writes about is such a
[135:51] sick story. I just personally I don't
[135:55] believe any of it happened. But as like
[135:58] if I read it as a piece of fiction, it's
[136:01] one of the best things I've ever
[136:02] written.
[136:07] They broke me, Victor.
[136:13] Oh yeah.
[136:17] I refuse to let you suffer my fate.
[136:24] This is not the end. This is so sick.
[136:28] Like Pro, I still live on trapped in
[136:31] static. His cassette is the key. It is
[136:35] what will bridge the gap between us,
[136:36] between life and death.
[136:40] It is how you will set us both free. I
[136:44] know I probably shouldn't, but I'm down.
[136:46] Like water breaks stone over the ages.
[136:48] The past that binds us both can be
[136:50] washed away.
[136:54] So take the youer.
[136:56] You were you were wash away all these
[136:59] memories of funerals of loss and death
[137:04] forever. Look at that [ __ ] biblically
[137:06] saraphim angel.
[137:27] Oh, I'm burning it all down.
[137:36] Oh Jesus,
[137:40] Victor. What we doing, man?
[137:43] What we doing? What we doing?
[137:53] Oh,
[137:55] that was a lot less explosive
[137:57] immediately than I expected it to be.
[137:59] Okay, well, I'll get out then. I want to
[138:01] go home. Yeah, me too.
[138:04] At this moment in time, it might be too
[138:06] late, but I would like to go home.
[138:10] Turn around.
[138:16] Okay. Well, that's like really
[138:17] immediately bad, right? Oh,
[138:23] >> navigator.
[138:24] >> Navigator.
[138:27] >> Duh.
[138:30] Missile M12. Well, what remains of her?
[138:33] >> We thought they left us here to rot.
[138:36] >> Loyalty doesn't tend to be rewarded in
[138:39] this business.
[138:41] >> That said, we're sure glad to have you
[138:43] here.
[138:46] >> You're part of Adamco's crew, aren't
[138:48] you Ston?
[138:52] >> And that explosion just now was you're
[138:53] doing. Yeah.
[138:56] A crazy way to make a path between our
[138:58] vessels for sure, but we'll take it.
[139:02] >> We did find what we were looking for all
[139:04] this time. You know,
[139:06] >> the signal source. It's here just a few
[139:09] meters beneath us.
[139:12] I've got to say, I've never seen
[139:13] anything so beautiful. I can't wait.
[139:17] Make your way over to us. Yeah.
[139:22] We'll dig our way out of this hole
[139:23] together. How?
[139:27] But be careful, son.
[139:32] >> There are old, sinister things down here
[139:34] that might be best left forgotten.
[139:39] >> And I get the feeling they don't want us
[139:40] to leave.
[139:44] >> [ __ ] yeah. Wait, how did my explosion
[139:46] bridge a gap between us? Oh,
[139:49] psychologically.
[139:54] Oh, cool. Demon.
[139:58] Oh, cool. Scary etchings.
[140:02] Oh, cool. Portal to hell.
[140:05] Sign me up.
[140:15] Is this your ship? Man, your digs are
[140:17] way nicer than mine.
[140:24] Hidden treasure to save dad
[140:29] over here.
[140:36] Maybe I need two fuses for it.
[140:43] Hidden treasure to save Daddyo. That's
[140:45] me. I'm dad.
[140:50] Come on, Jibus. Help.
[140:54] When we needed him most, he was silent.
[140:58] He said, "Why should I?"
[141:01] Damn Jesus.
[141:03] That's ice cold.
[141:06] Why would you do that?
[141:11] Okay, maybe I should just actually try
[141:13] doing this.
[141:18] What is it? Red and yellow.
[141:24] Like what does that one do?
[141:31] Wait, is this the same protocol?
[141:36] Oh [ __ ]
[141:44] Okay. Well, I'm worried now that if I
[141:47] just go straight through this, it'll
[141:49] end. But
[141:52] like I missed a thing. But also maybe
[141:54] the thing I need to get into that room
[141:56] is in here.
[141:58] But maybe I can retry it after
[142:02] if that's the case. Oh, cool.
[142:15] Damn, this is sick.
[142:18] Cuz the stuff about like Eldrich beings
[142:21] and Cthulhu and the unknowable and it
[142:23] [ __ ] with your brain a lot,
[142:26] it's kind of the same as like what
[142:28] angels and everything are. The angels
[142:30] show up and it's I love that image of
[142:32] like be not afraid. It's like this is
[142:34] literally the scariest moment of my
[142:35] life.
[142:39] Like this [ __ ] is terrifying when you
[142:40] think about it.
[142:43] And I love the idea of angels and gods
[142:45] and everything being so unknowable to
[142:47] us. Like even if they did create us and
[142:48] all that, but that they're so above our
[142:51] plane of existence that they're just so
[142:53] scary and hard to figure out.
[143:00] Is there something else back here?
[143:04] Is it all just lead around?
[143:07] I'm worried about missing something.
[143:13] Oh,
[143:18] someone went splat right there.
[143:23] Oh,
[143:26] put some clothes on.
[143:36] Whoa.
[143:38] Is this flesh?
[143:43] Ew.
[143:47] Walk across the fleshy causeway.
[143:57] Oh, my son, my child, my baby boy, my
[144:00] funtime friend.
[144:05] You
[144:07] stop hitting me.
[144:09] Kill him. [ __ ] him up.
[144:14] Okay, let's run. Hey guys, how's it
[144:17] going?
[144:19] This [ __ ] sucks.
[144:22] I'm out. I'm out. Oh god, this is
[144:26] actually really scary. I don't like it.
[144:30] Was this the way out? Oh god. Oh god.
[144:38] Oh [ __ ] Boy, am I glad I explored that
[144:41] when I had the chance.
[144:44] That helped quite significantly.
[144:47] Close that [ __ ] thing.
[144:50] What the [ __ ]
[144:58] What the hell is that?
[145:06] Where's the gun? Where's the gun? Oh
[145:07] god.
[145:10] Do I have a bullet in this?
[145:16] Let go of me. Let go of me. Let go of
[145:18] me.
[145:19] There's no bullets. I can't see
[145:21] anything. Ah.
[145:26] Okay.
[145:29] Run. Run. I'm stuck. I'm stuck. What the
[145:31] [ __ ] am I stuck in?
[145:34] Oh, Jesus Christ.
[145:40] Okay. Lure him. Lure him.
[145:45] He's so [ __ ] weird.
[145:50] Okay. Okay.
[145:58] That's good, right?
[146:04] I don't like it. I don't like it. I
[146:05] don't like it.
[146:08] Save dad. Save dad. Room to save dad.
[146:12] Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
[146:15] Is I really wish a door would close
[146:18] behind me. Wa. This is cool.
[146:21] No time.
[146:27] No time.
[146:32] How those balloons not popped?
[146:35] Oh, the lights are looking at me.
[146:40] Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Faster. Faster now.
[146:43] Faster. Faster.
[146:47] For [ __ ] sake.
[146:51] Oh, that sucks. That sucks. That sucks.
[146:53] Kick him. Kick him. Kick him.
[147:00] Oh, [ __ ] hell.
[147:05] Stressful. So very very [ __ ]
[147:07] stressful.
[147:09] Holy god.
[147:14] Cheers.
[147:17] I wish this was vodka and not water.
[147:22] I want to go deeper down than anyone.
[147:25] Oh,
[147:27] the bullet.
[147:37] Okay.
[147:40] What do I do?
[147:44] Okay. Okay. Put it in.
[147:54] [ __ ] yeah.
[147:56] Bye-bye brain.
[148:06] Well, you did go deeper down than I back
[148:08] on the ship
[148:10] so that I can bring them back him back
[148:11] to you. Board the vessel. Find recording
[148:13] equipment. Record my essence onto Pro's
[148:16] cassette. Bring the cassette to me.
[148:17] Bring us together.
[148:20] Wait, what? Where the vessel? The other
[148:23] vessel. Find recording equipment. Oh,
[148:27] I guess I am on the other vessel.
[148:35] Oh,
[148:37] I did not stick the landing.
[148:49] Do I have I have nothing.
[148:54] I can't see.
[149:05] Okay,
[149:09] this is as far as those who came before
[149:10] you made it.
[149:12] I love that the voice now is I love that
[149:15] the voice is like shaking everything.
[149:19] Uh, we finally managed to pick up
[149:21] readings of the signal. It's weak, but
[149:23] it's definitively something there with
[149:25] its own signature. Good to know we
[149:27] didn't drill all this way down for
[149:28] nothing.
[149:34] Distance remaining 3 m.
[149:39] God, I can barely walk anymore.
[149:44] Cut extraction cables.
[149:47] Four three against two. She wants us to
[149:50] dig. Dig.
[149:57] You opened your eyes to truly see.
[150:00] Salvation is not something to be found
[150:02] through prayer or by chance. You have to
[150:04] take it for yourself. Whoa, you're full
[150:07] of crystals.
[150:10] I need recording equipment. Should I
[150:12] take one of these?
[150:21] Soon the wait is over. Whoa, the
[150:23] crystals are [ __ ] speaking to me.
[150:28] Record me onto the cassette together
[150:30] with Pro.
[150:33] Let this world without him finally be
[150:36] undone.
[150:38] We've cut the extraction cables.
[150:40] Thinking, talking, getting difficult.
[150:42] There is something here with us. It must
[150:44] stay here. We must stay here. Just wish
[150:47] I remembered why.
[150:58] Oh, it's like the opposite of what I did
[151:00] before. Like the heart rate and
[151:03] everything.
[151:12] Signal source too far away from
[151:14] recorder. We're so damn close. Required
[151:16] action. Bring drilling vessel closer to
[151:18] signal source.
[151:20] I still can't reach him.
[151:23] Get into the pilot seat, Victor.
[151:26] One last time. [ __ ] yeah. Oh, look at
[151:29] the eyes.
[151:33] This is so cool.
[151:44] Get out of my [ __ ] seat.
[151:52] Okay. What do I Oh, 70.
[151:58] Break through the past.
[152:07] [ __ ] yeah.
[152:15] Nothing lies between us now. I have
[152:18] become crystal.
[152:20] Make the recording. Yes, my lord.
[152:29] Oh, I'm overwriting my child.
[152:36] Oh, how long I too had waited.
[152:39] Thank you, Victor, for all that you've
[152:41] given me.
[152:44] In return, I merely hope to give you the
[152:46] peace you have so truly earned. As for
[152:48] me, I fear I'll never be able to let go.
[152:55] Don't worry, I won't keep you.
[152:58] Petro has already waited long enough.
[153:20] do.
[153:30] So, do I get a doover?
[153:34] Whoa. Yeah. Cool.
[153:39] Dear Pro, the day I'm writing this to
[153:41] you, you are just turning six. My plan
[153:43] is to give you this letter by the day
[153:44] you turn 16, or perhaps when you get
[153:47] your first job, or perhaps when you get
[153:49] married. When does a child stop being a
[153:51] child? I can tell you that when I look
[153:54] at you now making noises with your toy
[153:57] drill or when you draw with all the
[153:59] colors that you have or when you keep
[154:01] glancing out the window because perhaps
[154:04] soon the rain will be gone and we can go
[154:06] to the playground. Right now I feel that
[154:09] you will always be my little boy
[154:10] forever. I wonder what kind of young man
[154:13] you will be by the time I give you this
[154:15] letter to you. Will you be a rascal or a
[154:17] studious bookworm? Will you go to the
[154:19] Strata Institute to be a navigator like
[154:22] your dad? I hope not. You'll probably be
[154:25] a bit ashamed of me as teenagers usually
[154:27] are. The only other thing I can say for
[154:30] certain is that no matter what the path
[154:32] you choose in life, I will always love
[154:34] you, your father, Victor.
[154:37] That's nice.
[154:40] Is this the end?
[154:45] Wow. of our house. Pre-burn
[154:50] cassettes. I'll never look at them the
[154:52] same way ever again.
[154:55] Strate directive committee. Victor, your
[154:57] rejection of our offer saddens me, but I
[154:59] want you to know I understand. I know
[155:01] your father would never see. I know that
[155:03] your father yourself a heavy burden to
[155:05] bear. Seem to give everything. I'm proud
[155:07] of you. Oh, the same thing.
[155:17] A
[155:20] honorable deed. This is to certify that
[155:22] it appears by the registers of the
[155:23] Institute of Strata that Victor Kaminsky
[155:26] in the examination for the degree of
[155:28] engineering and boring in accordance
[155:30] with the statutes of the state kept the
[155:33] prescribed residence and passed all the
[155:35] necessary examinations on 28th of June
[155:37] 1962.
[155:39] I was qualified.
[155:49] Oh, this is not a nice bathroom.
[156:00] Oh cute.
[156:02] Is there no mom? It's just him and dad.
[156:08] A remarkable revival. Just when you
[156:10] thought old man Kaminsky had lost his
[156:12] touch, he does it again. Tus Kaminsky,
[156:14] who became a household name. I'm assume
[156:15] that's the dad. When he cemented the
[156:17] record for deepest descent in 1964,
[156:19] describes himself as someone who has
[156:21] always been a restless soul. Back in the
[156:23] heydays of drilling, they just couldn't
[156:25] keep me away from the ground. Kaminsky
[156:27] says the people of Strata used to say,
[156:29] "I must be part mole." It's been 9 years
[156:32] since Strata's last manned deep earth
[156:34] drilling mission. Destabilized bedrock
[156:37] and falling mineral prices has been some
[156:40] of the reasons why vessels such as the
[156:41] M12 were figuratively put on the shelf.
[156:44] It felt right somehow. Kaminsky laughs
[156:47] when asked about why he chose to accept
[156:49] a mission that is as daring as it is
[156:51] dangerous. The M12 and I have been
[156:53] through a lot together. When Strata
[156:54] unveiled the mission, I just thought to
[156:56] myself, no way I'm letting anyone else
[156:58] go down with her.
[157:04] I like that the name of the company is
[157:05] Strata. That's very clever.
[157:12] My boy, my son, my beautiful bouncing
[157:16] child.
[157:20] Out into the [ __ ] grass, baby.
[157:25] Just as it was written.
[157:34] There he is.
[157:39] He looked a lot different when I turned
[157:42] off your life support.
[157:47] That's nice.
[157:52] Find pro.
[157:54] I mean, I probably doomed the world to
[157:58] doom and damnation, right? But I got my
[158:01] happy ending.
[158:20] You'll be the first to watch.
[158:33] Oh,
[158:42] >> right after entering M13 after
[158:44] extraction.
[158:47] Four tapes.
[158:55] Oh [ __ ] I'm playing this.
[158:59] >> That's so cool.
[159:06] >> Oh, I killed him.
[159:16] >> Oh, that's such a [ __ ] smart way of
[159:18] doing that. foreign.
[159:41] That's cool.
[159:45] That's so smart.
[159:49] He stabed Senko multiple times with a
[159:50] screwdriver. Two of the wounds were
[159:52] fatal. Yeah, that's the wreck room.
[159:59] >> So, did I do all this because I
[160:03] >> most seem to be consistent with signal
[160:04] sickness. Did I do all this cuz I wanted
[160:06] to get to the signal to save my child?
[160:12] >> Minsky was just most susceptible.
[160:21] Like was I lured down by the
[160:25] the signal
[160:28] cuz it promised me salvation or whatever
[160:32] like peace. So then I killed everyone.
[160:35] Or maybe it just made me mad in general.
[160:37] That's so [ __ ] cool.
[160:47] old war torpedo just to blast his way in
[160:48] through the hole.
[161:04] It's like he tried to rip his body
[161:05] apart. How the hell would I have done
[161:07] that?
[161:13] Maybe I was the [ __ ] monster that was
[161:15] chasing myself all this time.
[161:23] >> The old crew was long gone. No surprises
[161:24] there. But Kaminsky did manage to use
[161:26] their recording equipment.
[161:32] >> Uh-oh. Did you guys bring that back?
[161:34] Kaminsky used what appears to be one of
[161:35] those Vastto cassettes that he must have
[161:37] brought with him on the mission.
[161:39] That sucks.
[161:42] >> He's clearly delirious beyond all human
[161:43] reason at that point,
[161:46] >> though he still seemed intent on
[161:47] actually completing the mission.
[161:51] >> And did he did he get a recording of the
[161:53] signal?
[161:59] >> We haven't verified that.
[162:02] >> Oh, please plug it in. Please plug it
[162:05] in.
[162:12] This mission was never about wisdom.
[162:16] >> This has all been damage control from
[162:17] the start.
[162:20] >> And now we are here with so much damage
[162:21] has already been done.
[162:26] >> Just need to know it wasn't all for
[162:27] nothing.
[162:35] >> Yeah. Plug it in. Plug it in. Plug it
[162:39] in. Release him.
[162:44] One, two, one, two, three. Release him.
[163:01] That's so cool.
[163:14] Oh, [ __ ] yeah.
[163:34] That's so sick.
[163:52] And it just goes back to desktop. That's
[163:55] so cool,
[163:59] baby. What happens if I try and launch
[164:00] it again? I doubt anything's changed.
[164:03] But
[164:05] that was so satisfying. What an ending.
[164:08] That was phenomenal. That whole game was
[164:09] incredible. I had so much fun start to
[164:11] finish. I was even like, "Okay, I'll
[164:14] record some of it now and then I'll take
[164:15] a break and then I'll come back and
[164:16] record the rest of it later." And then I
[164:18] just played all [ __ ] 3 hours of it
[164:21] non-stop because I just wanted to see
[164:23] what was happening.
[164:28] Yep.
[164:30] Yep. The world is [ __ ] That's so cool
[164:34] as well that her desk was the one at the
[164:37] start. Ah, that's so fun. What a
[164:40] satisfying game. Just start to finish.
[164:43] Mechanics were so fun to interact with.
[164:45] The clicky clacky tactile interaction of
[164:49] everything, but it wasn't so much that
[164:50] it was annoying. The visuals were just
[164:53] perfect. The story was really, really,
[164:56] really good.
[164:58] I that honestly blew me away with how
[165:00] good it was. Like I was invested in what
[165:03] was happening. It really again it really
[165:05] did feel like mouthwashing or the first
[165:07] time I played Iron Lung where you're
[165:09] just on a journey and you don't know
[165:12] what to expect. You don't know what's
[165:13] coming. Obviously this is way more
[165:14] complex and in-depth than something like
[165:16] Iron Lung would be, but the
[165:19] psychological aspects of what
[165:21] mouthwashing was doing like just really
[165:23] incredible stories built into these
[165:25] indie horror games. It's just so cool.
[165:28] I'm so glad I get to play stuff like
[165:31] this for my job and get to share it with
[165:34] so many more people and put it out
[165:35] there. Please go support the devs of
[165:38] this if you can because it's one thing
[165:41] to for me to buy it and play it and then
[165:43] for you to all watch it, but if you can
[165:46] and you're interested, please go buy it
[165:47] for yourselves because I love being able
[165:50] to support developers like this in their
[165:52] endeavors of what they're trying to do.
[165:54] I mean, it's £10 for me to buy. So, some
[165:58] of you can spare £10 or however much it
[166:00] is in your region. There's nothing
[166:02] really to say. It was just good start to
[166:04] finish. People online had said it was
[166:06] good, but it was even better than I
[166:07] expected. I didn't think I would get as
[166:09] enthralled by it as I did. I think
[166:11] that's okay. I'm It's the honeymoon
[166:14] period cuz I just finished it and I'm
[166:15] feeling really good. So, I'm going to
[166:17] say something really stupid, which is
[166:19] that it's one of the better games I've
[166:21] played this year that for my aesthetics,
[166:24] for what I'm into in terms of story and
[166:26] like Eldrich Truth and Finding Signals
[166:29] and the horror of it all. Like, this was
[166:32] just ticking all of my boxes personally.
[166:34] So, I think it's probably the best indie
[166:36] horror game I've played this year, but
[166:38] it's also been a long year so far
[166:39] already, and I can't really remember
[166:41] everything I've played. But, I'm going
[166:43] to put it up there. That's going to be
[166:44] the title of the video. I don't care.
[166:46] Sue me. Please don't sue me. Thank you
[166:49] guys so much for watching and for going
[166:50] on the journey. If you watched the whole
[166:51] thing start to finish, well done. I hope
[166:53] you're feeling as satisfied as I did.
[166:56] Now, go dig into the story more. Go look
[166:59] up other people's essays on it and other
[167:02] people's videos talking about the story
[167:04] more. Put down in the comments what you
[167:06] think. the little things that I may have
[167:08] missed in the story that it didn't
[167:09] explain outright, the stuff that
[167:11] connected from start to finish, the
[167:13] letters that were all there, cuz
[167:14] everything seemed intentional from the
[167:16] very beginning. I I'm assuming if you go
[167:18] back and play it now from the start,
[167:20] you'll start to see all the stuff again,
[167:22] like a mouthwashing game that it'll all
[167:26] start falling into place immediately and
[167:27] you're like, "Oh, [ __ ] That's really
[167:30] cool. I had no idea, but it was right
[167:32] there from the beginning." And I'm glad
[167:34] it didn't show me what the signal was.
[167:36] I'm glad it didn't really show me what
[167:39] sort of a creature it was, if anything,
[167:41] because all of that stuff is way more
[167:43] interesting when your imagination thinks
[167:44] about it. Like, if you just showed me a
[167:48] big monster, I'm like, well, that's
[167:50] lame. I'm glad that it was like the eyes
[167:52] on the screen and an eye here and like
[167:55] the signal that it was showing you was
[167:56] like, what does that actually mean? It's
[167:58] like magnetic poles and the polarity of
[168:01] like Earth and it was buried deep
[168:03] beneath the earth. Why was it actually
[168:05] Lucifer a fallen angel? Or was it just
[168:08] using that iconography because that's
[168:10] what it knows a human will relate to and
[168:12] what my brain was putting on it? Like
[168:15] that stuff is all so yummy. It's so
[168:17] rich. It's so textured. And that's what
[168:19] I love about these types of games and
[168:20] these types of stories cuz it makes you
[168:22] talk. It makes you want to learn more.
[168:24] But when you pump the brakes and you
[168:26] just don't reveal everything and you
[168:27] leave a little bit more for me to chew
[168:30] on, I don't need all the answers. I just
[168:32] need enough for me to make up my own
[168:34] answers. And that's what games like this
[168:36] and stories like this do so well. And I
[168:38] love it. And it's exactly the stuff that
[168:40] I'm into. Thank you guys so much for
[168:42] watching this video. Go check out some
[168:43] other stuff like mouthwashing, uh, Iron
[168:46] Lung that I've done on my channel
[168:47] before. There's a bunch of other games
[168:49] in this similar vein that I think you
[168:52] would highly enjoy. But thank you for
[168:54] watching this one and I'll see you next
