He's right behind you | From the Darkness

a really cool thing was the “you can hide under the bed” and “press shift to run” pop-ups, because you never actually need to go under the bed to hide from anything, and running doesn’t change any outcome, it’s just there to put you on edge cause now you think you need to.

The best part about this game is that everyone is freaked out about the big dude, but he's actually helping you. The big dude gives you clues, keys, the lighter, the album you are looking for, etc. Meanwhile the real evil is in the doll. The demonic doll is the one going around turning off the lights and the candles, closes its room with chains and cries when you are making progress. Shows how much we rely on appearances in our lives. I mean, the big dude's a cannibal and all, but nobody is perfect 😆

Fun fact: a LOT of soviet apartments have the same room planning like in this game. Me with my friends were playing this in the same apartment, but mirrored cause it was on the opposite side of the floor

Game: "Enter the deceased Grandfather's apartment" Jack: Tries to ring doorbell

The "Boof boof" song really made me feel better about the fact that you can see the dolls face in the mirror when it was originally looking away. It was watching you look at the mirror the whole time

Fun fact: when the game saves at 19:07 it’s because a scripted event is happening! Down the hall through the bloody door, a MASSIVE arm comes out and crushed the lightbulb (which you can hear shatter a few seconds later). Jack missed this (understandably so, this game is great with its atmosphere and making the player panic) but it’s SUCH a good scare and really catapults you into realizing there is something incredibly tangible in the apartment with you, and it could easily crush you at any second.

Jack: "Why can't I go backwards into the closet?? I feel like I'm running into something!" The corpse that's there for the entire game: :)

Translation time: 1:10 The sign (for a computer support service) said: "Computer Wizard: - Reinstall Windows - Virus removal - Program installation - Clean the dust out of your PC" 3:21 "евроцем экстра" just means "eurocem extra" (like you said, those were cement packages) 7:26 The book title was "Development of rocket science and cosmonautics in the USSR". It's a real book written by Soviet rocket scientist Valentin Glushko.

As a Russian who has been in similar apartments...this game scared me immensely, its like all my nightmares of it came true

God I HATE it when I'm trying to explore the home of a deceased grandfather and the entryway is suddenly filled with ground hamburger so I can't leave

Mad props to the creator of this game; going through frame-by-frame of the creepy moments, you can actually catch glimpses of corpses and phantoms moving around the house, things that would only be a flicker in the gameplay but that really show the dedication that was put into every detail. Not to mention fun to (watch someone else) play!

the scare at 30:14 was genuinely one of the most terrifying jumpscares i've ever seen like i'm shocked jack didn't have a heart attack right then and there

Sean is looking more and more like a lumberjack lately and I'm here for it.

I don't think any of us can actually muster up the courage to play these horror games so it's a good thing Sean does it for us

I normally don't get scared when watching someone playing horror games, but this one had me so... unsettled. I genuinely felt unsafe despite watching this in a brightly lit room at ten in the morning... This also goes for the creators other game too. There is something about the way that they build the atmosphere and pull off the scares that is so perfect - it feels like nothing else I've seen. I hope the developers know how amazing this is and that they have something special here. In fact, I think I'm going to go get the games - even if I never play them because I'm a big baby - because they deserve the support for this amazing work.

Jack: shocked by a rug on the wall Me, a Slavic person: "This game has grandma's house vibes, I would sit there and have some tea."

I’ve been LOVING this trend of indie horror games Sean has been on!!!! I’ve had the Closing Shift on loop. You’re such an amazing creator Sean!!

12:10 This is a very well done jumpscare... The way they zoom in, and the way the doll's staring at you only for the short duration of the jumpscare, and on top of that, the fact the doll makes a noise right before the jumpscare immediately puts you into alert mode, therefore making the jumpscare even better. I love it.

I need a compilation of Sean softly saying “Hey” to horrifying things. 44:22

This game actually creeped me out! The scares in this game weren't always loud, it just creeped you out, and had a good buildup to it, which makes it really awesome, I think the only weak part of it is when you're in the flesh dimension or something it kind of takes you out of the immersion about a creepy apartment and just became that generic bloody and fleshy hellzone or whatever. But nonetheless, I got really creeped out by this game! And I'm only watching Jackscepticeye play it, can't imagine me playing it all by myself LMAO
