Very much appreciate the devs and Epic sponsoring us today. We're taking a two hour look at this, we're going to see how it is and see where it goes. This is a horror game? This game looks very interesting. I had not heard a lot about it before they asked me about the stream.
And after I looked at it for just a little bit, I said I will absolutely check this out. So we are going to see what this game is.
Right now. oh okay
I need headphones for this don't I? Yeah, I do. This is gonna be a headphone game. Ooooooooh. I am already completely digging the vibe.
There you go, have fun Gloria.
Thanks bud. What kind of game is this? I think it's like an immersive exploration game, but I'm not entirely sure what it is.
I think it's like an immersive exploration game, but I'm not entirely sure.
Oh, maybe I just took out my gun. Okay. Let's get moving.
Check if the door operates. This lever should open it.
There's cameras up there like people used to be watched in here. Outer sector. The path is destroyed. We must walk around.
Did I play re-animal? I did. Played it all the way through with Dan. It was fun. Whole mice eating through this place.
The panel is broken down. And the environment is still quietly arranged. You are, of course, thirsty. Soldier unit equipped with an automatic weapon and armored suit protects the captain at all costs.
Doors show up in the map. Scan lock doors to identify what it takes to unlock them. Locked from other side. Hold R to aim and RT to fire weapon, toggle weapon with up and LB to finger.
your combat. Whoa. Wait, oh dude, should I be throwing my mouse and my keyboard for this game?
Like how much combat is this game gonna have?
You have a gun so I guess a lot?
You know, not wrong. a stretchable crate which might contain useful items.
I think we'll do mouse and keyboard.
Yeah, I think we'll do mouse and keyboard. It did recommend controller at the beginning, but I feel like there's going to be a lot of aiming here. So I think I just want to get used to using this early.
What is my device? Switch weapon is alt. Poggle scanner is control. Great. Okay.
Infested door locked. Did I play control with controller? I did. I played control with controller. I did. I played control with controller.
I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I played Control 1 with mouse and keyboard, because there was a lot of aiming.
And then I played Control Resonant with the controller, and as I normally play action, I just reverse engaged the controller. It just feels better for me. I'm in the right hall. Whoa.
Energy node locked door. Whoa. Cool.

Much better. Call the swordsman with a 23. Thanks bud.
No personnel are to leave the habitation block. Lock all exits to the sure guard post whenever unmanned. All attempts to breach the exits are reported to the security chief. This guy has two years of YouTube streaming?
Hell yeah, man. Awesome.
They're aggressive. Completely taken over. Worse than I've ever seen.
You should be glad you weren't assigned to their line of work.
You face more than to collect data with your scanner. We have to move on. The others are waiting ahead. What? Oh.
Okay. What's this box up here? What is this? Oh, okay, cool. Frustration's on. Let's do that.
Vitality Enhancer Mark 1, Increase Maximum Health. Okay. Interesting.
There is a back and exit button that requires me to reach across my keyboard and hit the backspace key every single time. Can I change that?
Because I am really not feeling doing that. I have to do it again. Can I change this back button? Uh-oh.
Cancel. Oh, dude. Are they actually going to let me cancel this button? Because that'd be it. I think it did. I think that worked. Awesome.
Okay, great. Let's see if that actually took, but I think it did. Oh, it's offline.
All right. Okay, we're ready to move. Anywhere else we can go here? That's the janitor key, right? Yep.
Great. Let's do it. I missed the beginning. Has any of this been explained? No. No, none of this has been explained. We don't know where we are. We don't know what we're doing.
Nick Strangel, thank you for the $1,000 this year, bud. I appreciate that. Oh, thank you again, Deuce. Locked externally. Oh, it's one of those types of games?
Yeah, so far. Just kind of drop you into the middle of something and figure it out. Move down the stairs. The others are waiting.
So obviously I'm going to look around up here, as you do. Energy node door. I don't even know what that means.
I am the heart of oil.
Bring the system online. access the sector control unit.
It is in our daily life that we are able to understand, to understand, and understand our own world as well. And... let's go back to the beginning....
Let's say that the one who has created the world has created the world as well. Let us say that the one who created the world has created the world as well in our own way.

So I'm missing all the things currently.
Okay, cool. Good job.
The beacon is not functioning. There seems to be an issue with the power. Proceed up the tower and find the problem. Update your map, but the map takes you before you go.

I thought we were supposed to go up the tower. Whoa. What is this thing?
